Chapter 157: Motivation

Yes, the revolutionary will!

For Hong Yanwu's generation, because they have been baptized by the revolutionary ideas of "how bold people are, how productive the land is" or "want to compete with the heavens", each of them deeply understood the importance of the "revolutionary will" in those days, and almost everyone regarded cultivating their own "revolutionary will" as an invincible "magic weapon" that could challenge all difficulties and limits.

As the pioneers of the revolution, the "big brother" Soviets also wrote a pamphlet to discuss how to cultivate the "revolutionary will" and how to free man from animal nature and make man dignified.

This book is very thin, but it is a must-read for most "aspiring" teenagers back then. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan also read this book at Chang Xianzhang's home, and they also summed up four points together as the most precious life motto.

1. Will is the ability to achieve the goal, that is, the courage to advance towards the goal, in order to achieve the goal should not hesitate to sacrifice everything.

2. Any emotion is only valuable if it is turned into an action that is appropriate to it. Sympathy requires an act of sympathy, and resistance requires an act of resistance. The will is the ability to put into action the desires of thoughts and emotions.

3. Emphasis on action, light on speech. A fool who moves is far better than a smart man who lies down.

Fourth, we must have tolerance and self-control. The director must have a beginning and an end, and never make a commitment lightly, but every promise must be fulfilled.

And Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan are not finished just summing up, and then as they went to Yuye's house to learn art, they even copied these four articles and solemnly pasted them in the room, so as to encourage themselves spiritually.

As a jade master, in fact, he doesn't understand the articles they wrote, but he probably understands that this is similar to "the song must be sung every day, and the fist must be played every day". In his heart, he couldn't help but feel that these words were a bit long-winded and trivial, and he was suspected of taking off his pants and farting. But at the end of the day, it's still an inspirational expression. So the old man didn't interfere at that time, but he thought that these two little apprentices were quite interesting.

To a certain extent, this incident can be regarded as the most real microcosm of the ideological dynamics reflected by young people back then.

At the same time, on the other hand, it is more common that due to the all-round publicity and advocacy of the society, there are so many heroic deeds in movies, books, newspapers, and radio that people are dizzying, and people back then were closed-minded and emotionally simple, so they were particularly susceptible to these deeds and characters. Therefore, in fact, the worship and imitation of all kinds of heroes and idols in movies and novels are ubiquitous and deeply implanted in the hearts of every teenager.

Take Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan as examples, they are particularly susceptible to being moved, and almost every movie can conquer them. Every time after watching the movie, regardless of domestic or foreign, those who are fighting or not fighting, they are so moved that they are immersed in it for a long time.

In the same way, when they read a novel, usually in the process of reading the book, they don't like to talk to each other, and after reading it, they will discuss it with each other silently for a long time, and they hate that they have returned to this ordinary world. They really want to live in the movies or novels, in those wonderful worlds.

Then there is no doubt that those heroes who can move them have become the factors that have the greatest impact on their real lives. And like most of their peers, whenever they have a goal they want to pursue, they will naturally think of the heroes they admire in their hearts and stimulate their "revolutionary will".

In those years, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan watched the most revolutionary movies "Iron Soldier", "Dong Cunrui", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and "Cultivating Brave Spirit from an Age", and the most memorable revolutionary novels were "How Steel is Made" and "Red Rock".

"Iron Warrior" makes them feel that a soldier in rags is a real hero, and no matter how beaten he is, he will not be a traitor.

"Dong Cunrui" and "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" inspired them. Because Dong Cunrui and Zhang Gazi often quarrel and fight with others, and there are many small problems. In particular, they also practice wrestling, which undoubtedly makes Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan feel a lot of closeness to them.

"Cultivating a Brave Spirit from an Early Age" is a Soviet film about the child of a revolutionary who goes to find the Soviet Red Army after his father was executed by the Tsar.

It is these movies that have allowed Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to establish a very "special" aesthetic, that is, only those with dirty faces, strong bodies, wearing tattered clothes, not afraid of causing trouble, and always standing with their eyebrows crossed are considered real revolutionary soldiers, cool enough, handsome enough, and beautiful enough!

You know, for a child, if you can imitate your favorite movie story, even if it is just a small detail, it is comfortable and happy, and it is wonderful, as if you have really entered that legendary and heroic world. So once such an idea came up, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan began to deliberately imitate the characters in the movie.

For a long time in elementary school, they became fond of wearing torn clothes, and the more torn they were, the better. In order to achieve the effect of gunsmoke in the movie, they always deliberately rubbed against the wall, and they had to rub a lot of dirt to do it.

Especially at the beginning of the movie "Cultivating a Brave Spirit from an Early Age", the scene of a group of children fighting in the pond left a deep impression on them. So every time it rained heavily, they would run together and wade in the stagnant water.

At this time, they often reproduce the images in the movie in their imagination. He still screamed in his mouth and punched his invisible opponent with his fists. Sometimes he deliberately lies in the water, indulging in wallowing and letting his clothes get soaked and covered with mud soup.

In their opinion, there are too many girls in the class who can't even stand a small mud spot on their clothes, a small wrinkle, and they are simply too squeamish. And like them, they are heroic, they are great, and they dare to paste their clothes with large patches of mud.

Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan are proud of their "good" habit of liking dirty, taking dirty as beauty, being proud of dirty, and taking dirty as revolution, but this has become a nightmare for the two adults. Especially when it rains on a cloudy day, their mothers feel as if they have a headache. Because when they came back in this weather, it always meant that they would bring back a lot of washing and sewing.

And gradually, due to their "perverted tendency", it even became an excuse for them not to cut their nails, wash their feet, and brush their teeth. So not only did the two adults get unbearable at all, but in the entire alley, they were also known for their sloppiness and lack of hygiene.

Naturally, a clean girl like Shui Lan despised them and avoided them like rats and bugs, and those swaggering boys also stayed away from them, completely treating them as two fools.

If it weren't for the last few parties to attack at the same time, Chen Deyuan frequently beat them with hammers, Chang Xianzhang threatened not to tell stories, and the two unbearable mothers also used the harsh means of not being allowed to eat to punish them, and finally forced them to restore normal personal hygiene standards, I am afraid that they can really live their lives like calling Huazi.

It should be said that in addition to this, there are many jokes made because of their aesthetic deformity.

Like looking in the mirror, they always like to imitate the hero's serious or heroic expression, thinking that this is the most courageous expression. Because in their impression, heroes love to keep a straight face, and a smile is not solemn and unholy.

So when they took pictures, they raised their eyebrows, and when they saw the girls, they also raised their eyebrows when they saw their parents. When you like someone, you look at whoever you want. Even the portraits of revolutionary martyrs painted in their textbooks and notebooks were all angry at King Kong, and there was never a trace of a smile on their faces.

As a result, they not only frightened their respective mothers and Hong Yanwu's little sister Hong Yanru, but also unanimously received the evaluation of "sick" in the mouths of the neighbors in the East and West Hospitals.

In the end, everyone inside and outside the house made fun of them like monkeys. Only then did they feel ashamed and unbearable, so they quickly changed back.

In short, it's a thousand miles away. Although the heroes in these three movies make Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan admire them to death, but under their deliberate and partial imitation, it is only a kind of emulator.

However, this does not affect their hero-worshipping spirit, and in the overall social environment, their minds are still full of the shadows of these heroes all day long.

As for the two novels "How Steel is Made" and "Red Rock", in fact, the personal significance to Hong Yanwu is far more important than those movies that can only be watched lively.

Because these two novels not only provide him with heroic models to worship like the movies, but also because the protagonists of these two novels can resonate more with his real-life situation, providing him with a great spiritual support in his days of repeated bullying.

For example, "How Steel is Made" has a plot where Zhu He teaches Paul to box, and Lao Maozi can beat Paul to the head with one punch. And after Paul learned, he also became invincible, and then with this hand, he knocked down the gentleman Victor in the river.

When Hong Yanwu read this book again, he read this paragraph three or four times, and he liked it so much. Seriously, he was eager to learn to fight in order to defend himself, so from this novel he realized the value of fighting.

The pretty little girl Tonya only became fond of Paul after she saw him hammer Victor into the river. Later, on the crowded train, Paul was able to carry Leda in through the window, also with his fists and guns.

This naturally led him to think that learning the art of fighting was more important than anything else, and while he envied Paul for his ability to take revenge with his fists, he couldn't help but imagine that he might become as powerful as this fierce poor boy in the future.

In this way, as long as he thought of Paul, the summer heat was nothing, and the cold wind did not feel cold in the flesh, and even the pain of pressing his legs and tendons, the soreness of muscle strain, and the sore eyes and dry throat of exhaustion were all gone.

There was a mysterious power in his body that caused his blood to heat all the time. To make him possessed like Paul, he must hold up his chest, even if he is tired and tired of practicing.

This strength comes from his expectations and fantasies about the future, which is enough to drive away fatigue and loneliness.

He longs for the future, for revenge. Although he couldn't be a soldier because of his family background, he believed that he was not a bad race. If he is more than his fists, he will one day be "tougher" than Zhao Huolu, more "fierce" than Jiang Bayi, and more afraid of death than "Huozi" and "Green".

This is the dream of a black cub who has lost his dignity. He pinned his future on the day when Yicheng became a teacher.

He wants to be ruthless than others! He is better than others! He wants to make all those who have bullied him kneel at his feet!

After talking about "How Steel is Made", let's talk about "Red Rock", this book means another kind of power to Hong Yanwu. It can help him to suppress his anger and endure unbearable humiliation.

Like Hong Yanwu's unremitting daily practice, the bullying of him in the school has not stopped for a day. Not only is the daily harassment among the students still there, but the discrimination against him by the head teacher and the workers' propaganda team is also uninterrupted day after day, and these people still treat him like a leper dog.

Hong Yanwu's eyes grew furry whenever he saw these people, and he hated their beatings and oppression from the bottom of his heart, but he was even more afraid of angering them and his heart was terrified. So he had to bow down and let these people spank, smack, and make fun of him in different ways, and the only way he could cope was to be silent.

After a long time, he really felt that he couldn't stand the grievances, and felt that no matter how much he insisted, he couldn't hold on. At this time, for some reason, he suddenly remembered "Red Rock", as if he was one of the revolutionary martyrs who had been bullied, and the school environment had become a scum hole in his imagination.

For example, the stools in the class reminded him of the torture instruments of tying people. The rusty pipes in the toilet smelled of iron shackles. Even the iron lid of the sewers reminded him of the gloomy dungeon.

And Xu Yunfeng, who regarded death as home, was thrown into the pool. For more than 20 years, Hua Ziliang has pretended to be crazy and stupid every day. Sister Jiang, who was nailed with bamboo sticks under her fingernails, these characters jumped into his mind all at once.

It also gave him an idea all of a sudden. I feel that I am too far behind those real martyrs, people don't even care about torture, going to the tiger chair, pouring chili pepper water, and he has "platoon fighting" to protect himself, how can he not even endure such a small humiliation?

So in this way, he also felt an invisible force filling his heart, full of his courage, enough for him to have the courage to face the fierce "comma" eyes of the head teacher, Jiang Bayi's rough slap, and Zhao Huolu's extremely filthy insults and ridicule.

That's not all, after a long time, he actually found that this mental hypnosis method has an additional benefit. That is, all the humiliation is like lighting a small packet of explosives in his body, and the latent power in his body has collapsed. Often after he endured it, the suffocating anger in his body prompted him to vent on the playground to calm down. This is equivalent to turning anger into strength, and increasing the energy of practice once a day out of thin air.

Since then, he has been going to the playground every day to do parallel bars, do pull-ups, and spend his spare time on the playground and next to the single parallel bars. He gritted his teeth and practiced, and his muscles were bruised, and his face was red.

The parallel bars in Seventy-Eight are iron pipes, and the parallel bars will make the hand cold, and the ups and downs always remind him of the ups and downs of life. It seems that every deep sinking is for the next one to stand up. Although there are many ups and downs, but to the last one, it still has to end with standing proudly on the parallel bars, although trembling and tired.

Hmph! Practicing blocks can only regulate his emotions and help him suppress his evil thoughts and anger! The oppression of those people can only make him stronger!

Yes, if you have revenge, you will not revenge it, it is not that you will not revenge, the time has not yet come!

In this way, the playground became Hong Yanwu's sedative, the cradle of his strength, gave him a tough bath, calmed the wailing of his soul, and healed his trauma after being isolated and abandoned by the teachers and students of the school.

The repetitive movements of the movement, accompanied by the slipping of sweat, restored his wounded will and emotions one day, and gave him more and more muscles and physique in return.

In just two years, he has been able to do more than 40 strokes on parallel bars and 80 pull-ups in a row. Even his pectoralis major muscles are getting bigger little by little, and at a young age he is almost three fingers thick, and it is not a problem to hold a pen at all.

It can be said that in addition to Chen Liquan, Hong Yanwu has become the person closest to "Spartacus" in the whole school. Even the physical education teacher who could do twenty push-ups with one hand was amazed at this and sighed to himself.

At this time, more benign influences have occurred, that is, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan's superhuman body that they can't hide makes them more well-known in the school, and almost all the male classmates in the school gradually know them.

And this kind of strong body is an indescribable deterrent in itself, and it also makes them more and more confident in their spirits.

The only difference between the two is that Hong Yanwu's eyes have become mad since he didn't know when, although he just watched calmly and didn't say a word, but the irrepressible fierce light in his eyes often made the people he stared at weak.

In this way, the insults he usually suffered were greatly reduced, and many boys did not take the initiative to provoke him out of instinctive fear, which made his situation unexpectedly better.

"Huozi" has already graduated from school, and the ones who are most afraid of this are of course Zhao Huolu and Jiang Bayi, who are particularly uncomfortable because of Hong Yanwu's gaze, and seem to instinctively feel some kind of threat. For this reason, they actually tangled up the people and horses and beat Hong Yanwu severely. I want to teach him a hard lesson, so that he can beg for mercy in order to have peace of mind.

But Hong Yanwu didn't say a word during the whole process, and he didn't resist, he only looked at them one by one for a while after being beaten, and then turned around and left after slapping the dust, but this abnormal calm made these people even more frightened. The few who beat people never dared to appear in front of Hong Yanwu again, and Zhao Huolu and Jiang Bayi did not dare to harass Hong Yanwu again for a whole month.

Later, because nothing happened, the two of them resumed their former activities, but they didn't dare to make trouble as usual, and even took the initiative to talk to Hong Yanwu, wanting to write off the old and new hatreds, and go their own ways in the future. In this regard, Hong Yanwu just smiled noncommittally, even if he replied.

He really didn't expect that bullying and hatred could bring such benefits!

As the saying goes, "steel doesn't hit, and it doesn't spark." Good iron must be tempered, and the so-called tempering means being beaten, and the ability to endure severe pain! Whether this pain comes from the body or the spirit!

Hong Yanwu began to appreciate Gorky's famous quote, "Let the storm come more violently!" He felt that when people were unlucky, they were often the most powerful. When people are lonely, their minds are the strongest!

If those people dare to fix him harder, it will only motivate him to go more on the parallel bars, do more pull-ups, have thicker chest muscles, stronger arm strength, and the day of revenge will be closer......

Speaking of which, it is not difficult to understand. The real situation is that the "hate" of supporting Hong Yanwu's practice has been completely disguised under a kind of "revolutionary will" recognized by the public at that time.

Under this kind of inertial thinking, even Hong Yanwu himself failed to clearly recognize the real situation. It is inevitable that there will be a situation where Yu Ye neglected to supervise earlier, and then thought about it later.
