Chapter 314: Interlude: Two Supernatural Stories About Me (6)

"Little Jiang...... Jiang is pronounced 'chiang' in French, and in English, 'chiang' refers to the Chinese surname Jiang alone, so otherwise, I'll just call you chiang, is this okay? Susan said in a somewhat quirky tone:

I have never attached much importance to the title, what people say, I will listen to it, as long as I don't scold or ridicule, I can do anything. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info So I nodded and said, "Okay, then please ask Susan, we ...... now"

"Wait......" Susan interrupted me, "In China, this Susan name is too unChinese, before I came to China, I found that all socialist countries have a very special title......"

"A special appellation? Or is it a special appellation for a socialist country? I...... How did I not know? I exclaimed that my knowledge was so low that even a "foreigner" could know what the "natives" did not know.

"Huh? Chiang, don't you know this special title? "Susan was a bit surprised by my reaction." What is the title? Why don't you just say it? "I'm very honest:

"Comrade...... There is a common aspiration: to achieve a communist society. Don't you know the title of 'comrade' anymore? Susan asked me in surprise:

Of course, I know, it's just that modern society has given too many meanings to this word "comrade", so much so that its original meaning has been gradually "eliminated and forgotten". Seeing that Susan was a little surprised, I could only pretend to be calm and say, "I know." Of course I do. Such as some proletarian revolutionary fighters. We all like to call them comrades, such as: Comrade Stalin, Comrade Deng Xiaoping, Comrade Ho Chi Minh...... Do you want to ......?"

Susan smiled at me and nodded, "That's right, here, you call me Comrade Susan!" ”

Hearing this, I can only use "oh my God" to describe it, it seems that cultural differences can be "harmful", I looked at Susan, and could only helplessly say in a reluctant tone: "Okay." Comrade Susan, where are we going to eat the alley? With a wave of her hand, Susan stopped a taxi, and after getting into the taxi, she said directly to the taxi driver: "Master, take us to Jingran Alley!" (Editor's note: In order to avoid the suspicion of advertising, a pseudonym is used here, in Shanghai, there is no place for "Jingran Lane", in fact.) It's another alley named after a celebrity. )

Jingran Lane is an alley named after the late anti-Japanese general Jiang Guangnai (word: Jingran).

After the 918 incident in 1931. The Japanese imperialists attempted to occupy Shanghai, using Shanghai as a springboard to continue to eat China. Due to Chiang Kai-shek's policy of non-resistance, which caused the entire East China region to fall in a predicament, in January 1932, the Japanese invading army easily pushed its troops to Shanghai, and on the night of the 28th, launched an attack on the Zhabei garrison in Shanghai, thus the "Songhu War of Resistance" began. The commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army stationed in Shanghai was Jiang Guangnai, and the commander at that time was Cai Tingkai. In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's policy of non-resistance, Chiang Guangnai mobilized his troops in this way: "Since the defeat of our country in the First Sino-Japanese War, we have not dared to fight a foreign war. The imperialists drove in, and I fled. The people of the country are brave in private fighting and cowardly in public war, and this imperialism is increasingly showing its teeth and claws, and the people are uncontrollable in grief and indignation. Materially, I am far inferior to the enemy, but if we have the sincerity of all of us, we can open a way to victory. These words are still exciting to read. It is not difficult to see from these mobilization words that Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai are determined to resist Japan.

In a telegram on January 29, Jiang Guangnai said: "Guangnai and others belong to soldiers, only know that legitimate defense, defending the land is their duty, inch by inch of grass, can not give up, resist in order to save the country and protect the species, although sacrificed to one person and one bullet, never retreat, in order to lose the personality of the Republic of China soldiers." Under Chiang Kai-shek's policy of non-resistance, the Japanese army invaded China's cities, if no one was in a country, the three northeastern provinces and some areas in East China were easily captured by the Japanese army, but only in Shanghai, encountered fierce resistance from the 19th Route Army, until February 4, the battle had started for a week, in the face of the total launched by the Japanese army, Jiang Guangnai also led his troops to surround a wing of the Japanese army, and annihilated it. Taking this as a clarion call for counterattack, we pursued the victory and finally smashed the general attack of the Japanese army, which was the first victory of our army against Japan since the 918 Incident in 1931. For this reason, the commander of the Japanese fleet, Koichi Shiozawa, was dismissed from his post and transferred back to Japan due to unfavorable command! The newly appointed commander of the Japanese fleet, Nomura Kichizaburo, increased the strength of the troops, and in the early morning of February 13, launched another general attack on the 19th Route Army. In the face of wave after wave of reinforcements from the Japanese army, Jiang Guangnai once again asked the Nationalist Government for help, and the telegram said: "Although I want to seek peace, the Japanese invaders are absolutely insincere, for the survival of the nation and the dignity of the country, I can only be determined to fight." Under the instruction of He Yingqin, General Zhang Zhizhong led the Fifth Army to support Jiang Guangnai, and with the strong support of the Fifth Army, all the positions lost by our army were recovered, and the Japanese army was greatly damaged, and the Japanese army was greatly discredited by successive defeats, and the Japanese army was forced to change its commander for the third time, this time the change of commander was not trivial, and the Japanese Minister of War General Shirakawa Yoshinori replaced Ueda! It can be seen that this time the Japanese army is desperate and gambles on their own Japanese ministers. Shirakawa Yoshinori increased his forces to nearly 70,000 men. But on the Chinese side, it can be said that it is a different picture: for nearly a month since the war with the Japanese began, the Nationalist government has not paid the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army a single military salary (in the final analysis, not a single bullet or a gun). There is also a theory that it began in October 1931. The Nationalist Government did not purchase military salaries for the army. )。 The 19th Route Army suffered 5,000 casualties. The Fifth Army suffered 3,000 casualties, and the soldiers fought during the day and built fortifications at night, without adequate rest. The soldiers were exhausted, and many of them were still wearing single clothes, not even a decent winter coat. Seeing that the national government still had no movement, the mainstream media at that time, the "Declaration", published a report that "the soldiers at the front had no protection from the cold", and the national government could not count on it. Then count on the power of the people! As soon as the media reported that in just five days, countless cash, food, medicine, cotton clothes and quilts were received, and Jiang Guangnai once said movingly in the preface to his "History of the Bloody War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression of the Nineteenth Route Army": "In the battle of Songhu, our army received great help from the people. Never forget. This hatred of the same enemy makes us feel excited. ”

But...... When the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army went to the Ministry of Military Affairs to collect these supplies. The explanation given by the Ministry of Military Affairs is that all donations from non-governmental and overseas compatriots should be confiscated. To put it bluntly, these materials do not belong to your 19th Army and the Fifth Army, and it is up to the Ministry of Military Affairs to decide who they will not give to them. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Ministry of Military Affairs has misled the country and the people and the world, and it can be said that it is the most disgusting adjective in the world to describe them. In the early morning of March 1, the Japanese army seized the Liuhe River, and the flank of our army was exposed to the Japanese army's eyelids, and at this time, our army's reserves were all bet, or failed to cope with the Japanese landing battle, Jiang Guangnai finally asked for help from Shangguan Yunxiang, hoping that it would cover the flank of our army, but was refused, until more than ten o'clock in the evening, Jiang Guangnai had no choice but to retreat on the whole line.

On March 3, the League of Nations (equivalent to the current United Nations) decided that China and Japan would stop the war, and the Songhu War of Resistance, which lasted for more than a month, would come to an end. On May 28th, a memorial meeting for the fallen soldiers of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War was held in Suzhou (it can only be held in Suzhou, why it is held in Suzhou, everyone must understand!) Jiang Guangnai wrote a couplet: self-defense is a natural human right, 30,000 people generously ascended the throne, there are decapitated generals, no surrender generals, and the rocks and seas are still dry; Meet with the shame of the country, 40 days to see the danger of the order, I led the king to wait, do not let it in, pepper syrup cinnamon wine has more than mourning.

Jiang Guangnai, a veritable national hero. Worthy of our memory......

Located in the western suburbs of Shanghai, Jingran Lane is a more biased area that is obviously much inferior to some of the other famous alley dishes. I'm still wondering how Comrade Susan would know this kind of place, but I didn't expect Comrade Susan to take the lead in breaking the deadlock and said: "Other alleys are said to be commercial hype, I don't like that kind of hype, there is a alley restaurant here, which is the real sense of the alley, I thought about it for a long time, but my grandfather's health is inconvenient, I can only sigh with hope, this time it is just with your reason, so that I can come over to fulfill such a wish!" ”

In this world, in addition to the Chinese have a unique feeling for food, the French will definitely not be less passionate about food than the Chinese, Comrade Susan's blood flows the genes of the two countries that love food in the world, so I can understand her enthusiasm for research and admiration for food. But the next "confusion" really surprised me. After the taxi arrived at Jingran Alley, because the alley was small, the taxi could not go in, so it could only get off in advance, and when the fare was settled, Comrade Susan actually took out a piece of ten euros and handed it to the driver. Fortunately, this driver is a taxi driver in a metropolis, and he has seen a little of the world, knows the euro, and knows the exchange rate of the euro against the yuan, so he can only say to Comrade Susan in embarrassment: "Little girl, I don't have a euro to find for you!" "It was only at this time that Comrade Susan realized that she didn't bring the renminbi with her when she went out (it should have been her mother's control, or she had used up the renminbi herself, and she didn't know it yet, anyway, she was confused. He was embarrassed and said to the driver: "Then you don't have to look for it!" "Now the exchange rate of the euro against the yuan is almost 1:7, the fare is more than 30 yuan, and the driver is given 10 euros, which should be very reliable. The driver didn't say anything, just looked at me, meaning, is this 10 euros really given? I saw that Comrade Susan had said such things, so I didn't want to cut off the "financial road" of other drivers, and hurriedly said: "Master, if the money is okay, you can see you again!" The driver didn't know whether the euro was real or fake, so he said to me embarrassedly: "Young man, you shouldn't lie to me, right?" "I took advantage of Comrade Susan's lack of attention. After making up the thirty yuan car fee, he said, "This shouldn't be wrong, right?" "The driver is also easy to talk to. See that there is a RMB payment. I won't take the 10 euros, so I have to stuff the 10 euros into me. Perhaps the reader will ask why I am here to say so trivial and detailed about this matter, because I have come to prove that Comrade Susan is confused, and second, the subsequent development of this matter is still somewhat related to the ten euros.

After sending off the taxi, I wanted to return the ten euros to Comrade Susan, but Comrade Susan was holding her mobile phone and looking for the exact location of the family that was cooking in the alley. China's house number is different from France's, France is a first-class color street number, from east to west, the street number is from small to large, you have to find a street number, from east to west, this is called "a road to black". In China, it is divided into odd and even numbers, north and south, the south is a single number, and the north is a double number. Encountering the single-family door, there are also bar 1 and bar 2. For a foreigner like Comrade Susan, this is a bit troublesome to find, especially the house number of Shanghai, which is even more "dazzling", not to mention foreigners, sometimes Chinese people can't distinguish between east, west, north, south, and middle. Comrade Susan did it for a long time, and I didn't understand, so I stepped forward and took the initiative to ask for help, she handed me her mobile phone number, and the screen was full of French, and I couldn't understand it, and finally under her reminder, I knew that this alley dish was in No. 37-3 Jingran Alley.

Under my leadership, I finally found No. 37, and under my inquiry, I learned that No. 37-3 was in the yard of No. 37. In other words, to find this alley restaurant, you have to walk into the house of No. 37 first, and then find No. 3 inside.

In the meantime, I want to return the ten euros to Comrade Susan, who has long been attracted by the smell of vegetables coming out of No. 37-3, where to pay attention to your ten euros, and said lightly, you take it first, and then hurriedly ran into the gate of No. 37.

As soon as you enter the gate of No. 37 Lane Hall, there is a strange feeling, perhaps because I have written too many horror novels in recent years, this No. 37 is always reminiscent of the ghost house of a certain number in the capital, not to mention the others, first say that the gate of No. 37, the gate of the people is generally the gate of vermilion paint, which looks festive, but the gate of No. 37 is not, the black black of a water, this black wooden door looks like the era is a long time ago, it should be the building of the Republic of China, but the black paint on this gate has not fallen a piece, and the black is intactSome people may ask, did the owner of this house repaint this door? My answer: No. The kind of "new" that is repainted and the kind of "old" of the architectural style will form a visual contrast, and you can see the old and the new at a glance, and the black on this door I see now is not at all inconsistent with the architectural style of the Republic of China, it is natural, just like I am in the era of the Republic of China. It is precisely because of this that I feel that this is strange and abnormal, Comrade Susan, living in the West, in her concept, China is the People's Republic of China, and there is no such thing as the Republic of China, so she can't see this strange phenomenon, and she runs forward without heart and lungs. I can't let Comrade Susan go because this door is a little weird, can I? I had to follow in. Walking into the gate of No. 37, it is a narrow passage. The green bricks are paved, and the walls on both sides have been mottled to a certain extent, and there are many places where the green bricks have been exposed, and it is rare to have a few pieces of wall powder intact, and they are all scratches and graffiti, which makes it unbearable to look at directly! Maybe this passage can't get sunlight all year round, so there are moss growing on the green bricks, it can be seen how damp it is here, faintly, there is a smell of damp mildew drilled into my nose, smelling, there is an indescribable discomfort, not very comfortable, looking up, the top of the passage is a wooden structure beam, you can see at a glance, this is the same as the house in Wu Xi Taichang Lane, it is divided into two floors, and there should be many rooms on the upper floor, so it is separated by wooden beams, divided into two. Due to the problem of light, the beam on the top is not very clear, faintly, it seems that there are traces of carved beams on the beam, it seems that this house not only looks a little old, but even the "internal organs" in the house are also old!

"Chiang, hurry up! Hurry up and see. Comrade Susan, who had already run to the center of the hospital, greeted her with surprise, presumably because of some novel discovery that made her so excited. I quickened my pace, through the passage, came to the center of the courtyard, and looked at it, nothing special, similar to the house where Jiang Ji lived, there was a well in the middle of the courtyard, and some green bonsai were placed around, the only thing that was different from Jiang Jia's house was that in the huge courtyard, there were a few tables scattered around, and there were disposable dishes and chopsticks and menus on the table, which must have been used by the host here to entertain guests.
