Marulanda's strength lies not in his strength, but in his spirit.

In terms of strength, he is not ranked at all in the long river of history, and he is not even as good as Cuba's leader Castro. But when it comes to spiritual strength, Zhou Zhou can only think of Gandhi, the father of the nation of India.

In contrast to him, South Africa's Nelson Mandela was nothing more than a politician seeking fame. Because in terms of leadership, organization, and charisma, Mandela is far inferior to these revolutionaries. What Mandela can be proud of is that he has been in prison for decades, and time has turned him into a so-called great man.

However, Marulanda pursued his ideals through constant struggle and study from his youth, and fought for them all his life. As the politicians in Colombian politics today have shown, even if they are Marulanda's opponents, even if they do not agree with Marulanda's political ideas, they have to admire this seventy-year-old man. Because he has never been selfless, he is dedicated to the country.

Although Bogotá is the capital of Colombia, this is the first time that Marulanda has been in the capital, and for more than 70 years of his life, he has been active in the countryside, in the primeval forests of the active south.

He said more than once that he did not like the luxury of the big city, because he was afraid that he would not be strong enough to give everything to his ideals.

Zhou You and Gracia supported Marulanda, but the closest to them, except for the guerrilla Colonel Guayata, was President Uribe's special envoy Herrera.

However, Zhou You and Marulanda didn't care that Herrera was also following so closely, and he was sent out mainly to inquire about Zhou You's conversation with Marulanda. No one dared to steal the limelight with Marulanda, not even President Uribe, but at this time, they would not let Zhou You discuss too sensitive matters with Marulanda.

"Evan, at your current age, you've achieved what no one else can do in a lifetime. You haven't seriously thought about it, what is your pursuit in this life? ”

Zhou You didn't expect that the conversation between Marulanda and himself would start from this unrelated topic, and he was a little caught off guard, because he had never considered the problem from this perspective.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Personally, I'm still in a state of confusion. However, I have thought about this problem before, and I have summarized the different levels of life, but my ideas are not yet mature. ”

He smiled and said, "Just if we were chatting, let's talk about it." ”

Zhou You thought for a while and said: "I divide people's lives into four levels, the first level is survival, which is also a level that most people are in. When the goal of survival is achieved, all that needs to be considered is enjoyment. But the third level becomes responsibility, which is not only responsibility to oneself, to one's family, but also to society. The fourth stage, which I personally think is faith, or ideals......"

Hearing Zhou You say this, Marulanda laughed and asked, "Then what stage do you think you are in now?" ”

Zhou You smiled: "The third, my ideological realm is not enough for the fourth stage." ”

He smiled and said: "You know, I am a person who has not been to school for a few days since I was a child, and I have never been a theorist, at most a practitioner. In our guerrilla units, all leading cadres have a set of Mao selections, which is also our Bible. I suggest you have time to read more books, and I personally think that there is no book that can be more enlightening than this one. ”

They walked into the lobby of the hotel, which was two thousand square meters long and filled with set up dining tables. There were thousands of people from the country, government officials, business representatives, and guerrilla leaders from Colombia, but they did not fill this hall.

At this time, all the people stood up and applauded the respectable old man together.

Zhou You and Gracia let go of the old man's arm, but he insisted on holding Zhou You's hand and continued to move forward. It was not good for Zhou You to pull and pull with him on such an occasion, so he could only accompany him and walk towards President Uribe and his party, with a smile on his face.

His mind was still wondering, why did Marulanda do this, didn't he know that this deliberately sent the wrong signal? And the meaning of what he said just now, Zhou You hasn't figured it out yet.

Zhou You would never believe it, Marulanda was casually talking about this topic, but what he wanted to express, Zhou You really didn't understand.

Mao Xuan, of course I know this set of books, I grew up listening to this name since I was a child. However, he had never seen it, and he didn't even know what it was about. People and foreigners regard this book as the Bible, but they have never read it themselves, which is really a bit ashamed!

The atmosphere was very enthusiastic, and it was not only the first time that Marulanda appeared in the capital, but also the highest-level meeting between the leaders of the two sides of the civil war. Although no high-level talks between the leaders of the two sides were arranged, the emergence of Marulanda also ushered in the dawn of the peace process.

Since 1964, the FARC has been formally established as a guerrilla force, which has become an irregular force of about 15,000 men on 70 fronts throughout the country, controlling 40 percent of Colombia's rural areas and most of the coca-growing areas.

Marulanda himself has become an indispensable figure in Colombia's nearly half-century history. He was seen as a savior by the local population in rural southern Colombia, living according to his own "political system" in the guerrilla-controlled areas, receiving an education, and taking charge of his own security, as if he were an independent kingdom.

Since the 90s, the guerrillas and the government have been engaged in peace talks, but the talks have been inconclusive because the two sides have too many differences and deep grievances on some important issues.

This time, Marulanda's attendance was welcomed by more than 90 percent of the people in the country. According to a media poll, almost 100 percent of people are optimistic.

Taking advantage of Marulanda's handshake with Uribe, Zhou You took two steps back, gave up his position in the center, and stood with old Volando, applauding the historic handshake.

Many Colombians at the scene, including media reporters and waiters, couldn't help but burst into tears when they saw their handshake. A dark-skinned mixed-race waiter fell to his knees and tried to kiss Marulanda's shoes, but was stopped by bodyguards.

Seeing this episode, Marulanda walked up to him and took his arm to help him up. On such occasions in front of dozens of media outlets, Marulanda could not speak, smiled and patted him lightly on the arm, and then turned to introduce his attaché to President Uribe.

Although he did not speak, the other party still cried excitedly and sat down on the ground. Under his influence, many people burst into tears, adding a lot of warmth to the meeting.

When arranging the seating, Zhou Yu resolutely did not sit between Uribe and Marulanda, this position is definitely a volcanic crater. In the end, after some compromise, former President Arango, who represented the traveling ex-bank, sat between the two people.

Zhou Youjing sat at the end of the seat, and to his left sat Gracia. To the left of Gràcia, the Speaker and President of Congress, Luis Fernando, sits and to the Speaker, and above the Speaker, Marulanda.

This was followed by Arango, then President Uribe, then Volando Sr., Vice President Santos, Colonel Guayata and finally Commander-in-Chief of the Colombian Army, Muriel.

Subsequently, President Uribe, on behalf of the Government, extended a warm welcome to Marulanda and the representatives of the guerrillas, as well as thanked the companies that had traveled, including from the mainland, and the banks of Spain and Singapore.

His speech was short, less than five minutes. Subsequently, Marulanda also stepped onto the rostrum and stood in front of the podium. He began with Colombia's history of independence, continued with decades of turmoil brought to Colombia by both ideologies, and expressed optimism about the future.

In the end, he also welcomed the enterprises in the mainland and ended with Deng Lao's shelving of disputes and common development. His words were also warmly applauded by everyone at the scene.

Originally, it should have been Zhou You's turn to speak on stage at this time, but Zhou You felt that he should keep a low profile on this occasion and let Arango speak on stage on his behalf.

The last person to take the stage was an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the mainland, who congratulated the cooperation on behalf of the mainland government, gave a good outlook on the future development prospects, and concluded the pre-dinner ceremony.

The dinner was short, with a total of an hour set aside for the event, followed by a rich program by Chinese and Colombian artists to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

The dinner ended on time at half past ten, and Zhou You, under the reminder of old Volando, said goodbye to everyone one by one according to diplomatic etiquette, and got into the car home.

Such a dinner party is not only boring, but also very tiring, every expression is in the lens of the camera, you can't have a little gaffe. What's more, every word that comes out has to be carefully considered, and Zhou You has been tensing his nerves, feeling that it is more tiring than driving for a day.

The return car arranged for Batistuta to be the driver, Gracia sat in the passenger seat, and in the back seat sat Zhou Yu and Volando Sr. "Daddy, what do you think of what Marulanda said when she was waiting for me at the door? I really don't understand what he means. ”

Old Volando pondered for a moment and said, "When he mentioned Mao Xuan, the main purpose should not be to target you. ”

Zhou Youleng took a moment and understood a little. "Do you think he's targeting the mainland?"

"I think so." The elder Volando also said with some uncertainty: "This should be the signal he released, and the main purpose is to show the enterprises from the mainland, so that it can bring more benefits to the guerrillas in future negotiations." ”

I still can't figure it out, if that's the purpose, why did Marulanda go around this circle? Is complicating simple things a necessity in politics? (To be continued.) )
