Chapter 133: Notes on the Republic of China (Text)

Wu Chen looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, and a flash of inspiration flashed, wasn't it the famous Zhang Jingsheng? Well, he's heard a lot about this dude! It may not be well-known on the outside, but in their area, it is a familiar person.

In this period of contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Republic of China, a group of extremely outstanding talents have emerged in various fields, which further sets off the extraordinary of that era of beacon fire.

He was born in the small county town of Wu Chen's hometown, but he became a prominent figure in the ideological and cultural circles in the twenties and thirties of the last century, a philosopher, an esthetician, a sexologist, a writer and an educator. He is the first batch of foreign doctors in the Republic of China, and is known as the "three doctors" of the Republic of China together with Hu Shi and Gu Weijun, and is known as the "literary demon" and prophet.

In his early years, he joined the League and was appointed by Sun Yat-sen as the chief secretary of the Southern Peace League, assisting Wu Tingfang and Wang Jingwei, Yuan Shikai and Tang Shaoyi in the north-south peace negotiations, and facilitating the abdication of the Qing Emperor.

Since 1921, he has been a professor of the Department of Philosophy of Jingcheng University, and Hu Shiyi became the youngest professor at that time, and he was the first in China to teach "logic" in a university classroom, and the first to put forward the idea of "beauty governance"; He was the first to propose and establish the study of customs in China, the first to translate Rousseau's "Confessions", and the first to publish a research paper on human nudity.

What made him "infamous" was his "History of Sexuality", and his advanced "beautiful outlook on life" obviously angered the people of the time, and newspapers and magazines crusaded against him.

Even Zhou Jianren, who had previously been fiercely criticized for publishing "The Scientific Standards of Sexual Morality", was merciless in his criticism of "The History of Sexuality". Song Ziwen, who was in the same batch as Zhang Jingsheng to study in France, even reprimanded Zhang by name for advocating "promiscuous love" and "fornication" at the Nanjing Education Conference.

Four months after its publication, Zhang Boling, president of Nankai University, was asked by the Tianjin police to ban it in Tianjin on charges of "prostitution."

Later, the helpless doctor returned to his hometown and started public welfare undertakings in the Chaoshan area, opening roads, nurseries, and agricultural schools, and carrying out a vigorous "rural construction movement". At the same time, he took the lead in proposing the planning of childbearing, 37 years earlier than Ma Yinchu, and initiated the discussion of love and love.

Throughout his voice, the reputation is mixed, and his life writings and translations are very rich, but it is a pity that the romance is always beaten away by the rain, and it is drowned in the wolf smoke of history.

Zhang Jingsheng in his later years spent time in Wu Chen's village, if Wu Chen had been born more than ten years earlier, he would still be able to see this old man!

Such a man of the hour, although he was willing to be mediocre in his later years, he was definitely an alternative existence in their four towns. Wu Chen has listened to the old people in the village since he was a child, telling him all kinds of unbelievable anecdotes or "evil things" about this "doctor".

However, no matter how they couldn't understand what this freak did, the villagers were impressed by Zhang Jingsheng's title and knowledge, and admired him even more for his style of refusing Wang Jingwei's recruitment in a desperate situation, and they respectfully called him "Dr. Zhang" openly and secretly.

Because Zhang Jingsheng stayed in their village until he died, it is reasonable for this notebook to remain with them. However, since the person who wrote this note, since he called Dr. Zhang his brother, he should be about the same age, when did he come here? Was it during the Republic of China, or after the founding of the People's Republic of China?

If you look at it from the style of writing, this person is also a high-level intellectual, so it seems that it should be before the founding of the People's Republic of China, otherwise with the identity of a stinky old nine, I am afraid that the action will not be convenient, and from the content of it, it seems to be very contrary to materialism.

After returning to the residence with a head full of paste, Wu Chen continued to go back to the room, lay on the bed, and read all the places where the diary could be turned one by one.

To his disappointment, judging from the content of the record, there was no such thing as treasures, but instead arguing with Zhang Jingsheng about the origin of various species, which took up a lot of space.

This is understandable, after all, Darwin's words were still in their infancy in the Celestial Empire, and the traditional culture of the Celestial Empire was mostly mythical, and the collision between the two currents of thought was particularly intense.

What made Wu Chen wonder was that judging from the route recorded in the diary, it seemed to be very consistent with the map he was looking at during this time.

However, what kind of connection can Chen Hangyan's volunteer cottage discuss with them at all?

Cottage? These days, that map has been firmly imprinted in Wu Chen's mind, he went back to the diary again, and once again determined that the locations recorded in it were almost exactly the same as the map they were cracking.

However, this comparison again, really let him find a little difference, there is a paragraph in the diary, it is recorded that they arrived at a place called "Sibi Mountain", this trip also took a lot of time, although the things they are looking for are still not found, but it seems to have determined something, providing clues for their next focus.

What is this place? It seems like it's important. Wu Chen turned around in his mind, it seemed that he had never heard of this place name, he thought about the boss for a while, but he still had no impression, so he called Lao Luo.

"Sibi Mountain?" Lao Luo was also a little stunned when he heard it, he was cleaning up the archives, and this time the county was also flooded. Although the location of the archive is a little higher and not completely soaked, it has also entered a lot of water, and for this kind of unit, waterproof, fireproof and insect prevention is the most important. This time it was flooded, but because it was not an important department, no one paid attention to it, and even the post-disaster cleaning work was all done by himself and a few aunts.

"That's right, it's Sibi Mountain!" Wu Chen was afraid that he would hear it, so he said carefully how to write these three words, "I don't have any impression, but it should also be where the mountain is, but I don't know if the name Lu Dao is another name or an old name." ”

"Uh-huh, I'll take a closer look!" Lao Luo quickly recalled, this name was quite unfamiliar, and he had never heard of it, and he didn't dare to guarantee it, so he told Wu Chen to go back and check.

After hanging up the phone, Lao Luo opened it in the pile of information, and finally found a record of bandits in a Republic of China version of the county chronicle, which mentioned that Qianbiling is Sibiling.

It's easy to do with another name, you can't find Sibi Ridge, then check Qianbi Ridge, sure enough, check the mountains and rivers again, which records that "Qianbi Ridge, 21 kilometers southeast of the county, near the fishing village ruins." The west is high 519 meters, the situation is dangerous, and the road leads to Zhao'an. According to legend, it is the gathering place of Chen's hanging eyes. ”

After Wu Chen answered Lao Luo's call, he was excited in his heart, and thanked him fiercely on the phone, which made Lao Luo a little inexplicable, isn't it just to write a paper and check the information, so excited? Hey, it's really hard to be reasonable for a person to be a scholar!

Wu Chen didn't have time to explain a lot to him, and based on this geographical location, Sibiling should be the Lotus Mountain they called verbally!

That's all right! He hurriedly took out the map, marked a circle at the location of Lotus Mountain, and began to organize his thoughts.

Because he was afraid of damaging the original picture, he had already drawn one by himself and used it for his usual use, and carefully hid the original picture. A few days ago, he was sorting out materials in the archives during the day, and when he returned home at night, he looked at the map and marked the events that happened in each place at that time and the order of these events.

Now, according to the diary, a route was drawn on it, and finally a little context was straightened out, judging from the recorded route, this should be the distribution map of Chen Hangyan's rebel army back then. And what is recorded in the diary, strung out, turned out to be the route where these cottages were captured by the Yuan army one by one and retreated.

To his shock, the group of people had a striking overlap with their map, could it be that those people had also obtained such a Tibetan map, and carefully studied the whereabouts of the rebels?

After knowing that the Sibi Ridge of the Road was Lotus Mountain, although Wu Chen still had doubts in his heart, he felt that he had made a major discovery, and he was so excited that he called Daya and Du Qin.

After chatting, I realized that Daya was bored at home these days, and the surroundings were in a mess, and everyone was busy with disaster relief, and they were in a very bad mood. Du Qin's family was seriously affected, and the fish rafts that could be harvested were wiped out overnight, and the family couldn't cry if they wanted to, and now they can only wait for the government's disaster relief funds.

I heard that these two people were a little sullen on the phone, and I was a little funny in my heart, these two goods, one was born heartless, and the other was as passionate as playing all day long, but I didn't expect to be so depressed today.

Seeing that the road was already passable, Wu Chen simply drove the car to pick up Du Qin first, and then turned to the big tooth. went up to the second floor and locked them up, and Wu Chen told them all about his findings.

"It turns out that this Chen Hanging King is still two people, which one is the one who eats human flesh?" After listening to Wu Chen's explanation, Daya asked with some surprise, he didn't check the information with Wu Chen, but he didn't know what to do. According to folk legend, King Chen Hangwang is a very evil character, who has good deeds such as fighting against the Yuan soldiers, protecting the people, punishing bullies, and avenging grievances for the people; There are also evil deeds such as killing sisters and eating people. When he was a child, the old man would occasionally scare disobedient children and say that he would go out to play in the middle of the night, and he would be careful to be caught by Chen Hangwang.

"The one who eats people is you, okay, only you have such a good tooth!" Wu Chen said a little depressed, this guy's focus is always different from others, "Can we talk about something serious?" ”

"What's the matter? Aren't we just listening to your research experience, aren't you just talking about those two people, not the same thing? Big Tooth looked surprised again.

"Holy! … Focus! Focus! Wu Chen was almost speechless, "The focus is on Lotus Mountain!" Map! ”

"Oh, Lotus Mountain is Lotus Mountain, what is there to be angry about." Big Tooth shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Du Qin, "This person is really inexplicable! Are you doing research, are you so neurotic? ”

After speaking, the lowly thief with Du Qin and the two people laughed, and when he saw Wu Chen's black face, Da Ya said: "Okay, I've grown so big, and I'm still so stingy!" Doesn't it mean that the Lotus Mountain on the map is the old cave of Comrade Chen Hangyan, and later Comrade Hangyan was ensnared by the surname Gao and died heroically! Hey, who didn't give him a good name? Hanging eyes, hanging samples... He doesn't hang who hangs! ”
