When Xie Huaichang and his wife left, it was already November in the Western calendar, and not long after they left, Xie Wanxian sent a telegram from Beijing to Shanghai, saying that she and Mrs. Feng were going to leave for the south to Zhenjiang for the New Year, and they would stay in Shanghai for a while.

After Xie Daoyong's death, Mrs. Feng was really depressed for a while, but she was the aunt of the banner family, and after three years of filial piety by Xie Daoyong's tomb, she moved back to the capital, and also single-handedly completed Xie Wanxin's marriage and married her to a banner man who was honest and did business.

Wan Xin works in the school where Xie Wanxian teaches, doing logistics. After Xie Daoyong's death, she was a little depressed, but the innocence and liveliness in her nature were still there, although she had never gone to school, but Xie Daoyong personally opened the Meng, memorized Tang poems and Song lyrics, and also fooled herself to read the four books, so she was not completely illiterate in school, and occasionally she could chat with the Chinese language teachers about two lines of poetry, which was quite popular.

When Xie Wanxian wanted to take Mrs. Feng south to Zhenjiang, Wanxin was really unhappy for a while, and proposed to take her mother to her mother-in-law's house, but Mrs. Feng refused, Wanxian knew that she wanted to realize Xie Daoyong's expectations before her death, because even she knew that Xie Daoyong had talked about saying goodbye to the old man countless times, saying that he wanted to go back to Zhenjiang and have a lively time with his brothers and sisters-in-law, and he didn't have to go through any personal exchanges.

Wanxian asked Xu Shinian to buy tickets for them and ask for the best carriage berth, when Xu Shinian was about to interview Sun Wen, Wanxian went directly to his newspaper office and told him these things, in a cordial and ordinary tone, like a couple who have been married for a long time.

There was a young man who had just arrived in the newspaper and didn't know the situation, but seeing that the two of them often interacted, they joked: "Mr. and Mrs. Xu are really a couple." ”

Xu Shinian didn't say anything, but Wanxian took the initiative to say: "We are just old friends for many years, not husband and wife." ”

The young man was shocked: "Aren't they husband and wife?" Why? I think Mr. and Mrs. are a good match. ”

Wanxian laughed, her eyes fluttered, she glanced at Xu Shinian, and then joked with the young man: "Don't call me Mrs., call me old, I'm still an unmarried girl." ”

Xu Shinian laughed on the side, nodded again and again, and said to the young man: "This is my former student, and I personally sent her to Peking University." ”

As he spoke, he packed into his bag, which he had to carry on the table, a pen and a hardcover book, and a pocket watch and all the banknotes, which he had sewn himself, a cloth bag, but now even the young people of the newspaper used it.

"I'm going to see Mr. Sun," he strode out, telling Wanxian as he said, "You have to hurry home." ”

Wanxian didn't do it: "You go to see Mr. Sun, can't you take me?" I've told you a long time ago, and I'd like to see him too. ”

Xu Shinian and Sun Wen can be regarded as former superiors and subordinates, but after the establishment of the Republic of China, Xu Shinian retired from Zhenjiang to become a teacher, and then went to Beijing to serve as a staff member of the Ministry of Education because of Xie Cheng's recommendation, which can be regarded as parting ways with Sun Wen, who fell Yuan. However, the political views of the two did not disagree very much after all, and after Xu Shinian stepped down from public office in Beijing, they could still sit down and talk calmly.

Xu Shinian also had a debt of 7,000 taels of silver from the Xie family, and he had always allocated this money from his salary and sent it directly to the Xie family. Because of this, he lived a hard life, wearing a suit again and again, and carefully sewing up any damages himself, barely keeping his appearance neat, but when it came to interviewing political dignitaries such as Sun Wen, he looked a little poor.

When Xie Wanxian first learned from the newspaper that Mr. Sun had asked Xu Shinian to interview him by name, he offered to buy him a better suit, but the latter politely refused. Today he went to see Mr. Sun again, and she brought it up again, Xu Shinian frowned and said to her: "You are just a middle school chemistry teacher, how much salary can you get every month?" It's better to keep a little for yourself. ”

"At least I don't have to rent a house to live in." Wanxian is now living in the house left by Xie Daoyong, and together with Mrs. Feng who moved back from Zhenjiang, "I should rent a house for a month, use this money to make you a new dress, and I will borrow you, and it will not be too late for you to slow down in the future, how about it?" ”

Xu Shinian smiled bitterly: "I have borrowed enough from your family, and if I have to accumulate it, I am afraid I will not be able to repay it." ”

"What you owe to your family has nothing to do with me, it's just what you owe me." Wanxian advised him, "You can't always wear your old clothes to see Mr. Sun." ”

"Back then, when everyone knew each other, they talked about old clothes, even bloody clothes," Xu Shinian said, "If he picks on me because of my clothes, then he will talk about revolution and nation-building." ”

Xie Wanxian sighed and muttered to herself: "What kind of crooked reasoning and heresy talk about you is all invigorating." ”

Xu Shinian snorted and laughed, his eyes were crooked, he turned his head to look at Xie Wanxian, and said in a mocking tone: "Yes, I'm a literati, isn't what literati are best at reversing black and white?" ”

"It's a reversal of black and white," Xie Wanxian said, "It seems that you also know that you are wrong." ”

Xu Shinian only pursed his lips and smiled, but did not speak.

They took the bus to the hotel where Sun Wen stayed, there were a lot of people on the bus, Xu Shinian protected Wanxian between his arms, the crowd pushed and shoved, the two inevitably got closer and tighter, Wanxian was calm, but Xu Shinian was embarrassed, so that he had to find some topics to divert his attention: "The young man who joked with you today is still your junior alumnus, a graduate of the Department of Political Science of Peking University, named Mei Siping, although he graduated for a while, he has only been to the newspaper for a few days, and he has written comments at a very high level. ”

Xie Wanxian nodded between his arms, and asked very cooperatively: "He graduated so long, why did he just come to the newspaper office?" ”

Xu Shinian said: "I came with Mr. Sun, he worked under Mr. Sun's deputy, Mr. Wang Zhaoming, and this time he also followed Mr. Wang's arrangement and was responsible for contacting people in our media circles. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly laughed: "Speaking of this Mei Siping, there is an anecdote, I don't know if you have heard of it, during the May Fourth Youth Movement before, he was the one who burned Zhao's house." ”

Xie Wanxian was taken aback: "It turned out to be him, this is really thunderous, and the entire Peking University is still circulating his old stories." ”

Xu Shinian nodded: "You can have more contact with him, you are alumni, you are the same age, you should have a lot of common language." ”

Xie Wanxian didn't speak for a while, and finally sighed softly: "Okay, I know." ”

As the car walked forward, the people on the car gradually became scarce, Xu Shinian and Xie Wanxian distanced themselves from each other, and said with a smile: "You should know some young talents." ”

"Sir is right," Xie Wanxian looked into his eyes and said slowly, "If this is what you want, then I will do it." ”

Xu Shinian was stunned and silently turned his face away.

Sun Wen received them in the hotel, this was the first time Xie Wanxian saw him, but he was taken aback, this man with gray temples and a sallow face was like two people with the high-spirited revolutionary leader in the newspaper, he sat behind the desk with his waist bent, looking in good spirits, and he could make Xu Shinian's jokes: "Why, I came with my wife today." ”

Xu Shinian hurriedly explained: "This is my student, I respect you very much, I heard that I was coming, and I clamored that I had to go along." ”

Sun Wenji nodded to Xie Wanxian kindly: "Really?" That's my pleasure. ”

"It's also my honor to have the opportunity to meet Mr.," Wanxian treated Sun Wen with great respect, she sat on the side in a proper manner, let Xu Shinian interview Sun Wen first, and then interjected when the interview was over, "What does Mr. think is the future of my country?" ”

"Of course it's on you young people," Sun Wen smiled and coughed again, he was quite relaxed now, and said in a casual manner, "As long as young people like you don't give up hope, then our country won't give up hope." ”

Wanxian shook her head in disappointment: "This is just an empty word, I want to hear more specific, sir, where do you think the way out for my country is?" ”

The smile on Sun Wen's face disappeared a little, revealing a deep contemplative color, and after a long pause, he sighed softly: "This question is not easy to answer, it is too big, but if you insist on an answer, I think the future of my country is in the general people and the army." ”

Since Guangxu first established the Xingzhong Society in the 20th year of Guangxu, it has been 30 years, and in these 30 years, he has failed countless times and regained his strength countless times.

But hope is one thing, reality is another. The most cruel thing about the real world is that it never changes according to people's will, from the earliest Xingzhonghui to the current Kuomintang occupying Liangguang Jiangshan, he has been making a revolution all his life.

"I've been making revolutions all my life, and I've only recently learned what revolutions are." He coughed, and then continued, "Revolution is to take the lives of others, to build up arms, to seize power by violence, and there must be no attempt to coexist, and there can be no hope of peaceful coexistence between two opposing classes, such as the feudal emperor and the working citizens." ”

This was the last time Xie Wanxian saw Sun Wen, because he was already in poor health, and there was a strict control of the time of each meeting, Xie Wanxian felt that he still had many questions to ask, but a man in a black suit walked over and politely asked them to leave.

Xu Shinian obviously knew each other, but the two of them didn't say anything, only nodded as a farewell. Sun Wen was helped up and personally sent Xu Shinian to the door: "Cunzhi, I read all your articles before I came, it's really gratifying, although we haven't seen each other for ten years, you are still the Xu Cunzhi I am familiar with." ”

Xu Shinian bowed to him slightly: "The prime minister praised it falsely." ”

Sun Wen patted his hand: "I hope you can come back, before I came, Zhong Kai also mentioned you, save it, I don't believe that the current Republic of China is the Republic of China you expect." ”

Xu Shinian pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll tell you nothing, sir, I don't know what I expect the Republic of China to look like." ”

Sun Wen was silent, sighed, and smiled again: "It should be the late Qing Dynasty, when you first came to interview me, I said that." ”

====================================

Mei Siping: His glorious deeds have already been mentioned in the text, but it is worth mentioning that Cao Rulin, who was burned down by him, resolutely refused to cooperate with the Japanese during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and refused to serve as a puppet prime minister. But what about Mesping...... Well, let's talk about the final ending, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, he was arrested and shot for traitor.
