Chapter 508: Double Star (10)
"It's ...... Is there really a debate? Sitting in the office in the university auditorium building, Wang Shizhen asked the embassy comrades again in disbelief. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoEver since I talked to Queen Sisi about the revolution, the upper class of Hungarian society suddenly became very enthusiastic about Wang Shizhen. After two days of visits, those who found her unfortunate discussion with her invited her to RowΓ‘nd University in Budapest for a public debate.
"Yes. Such debates are often held in Hungary. The comrades of the embassy were familiar with the situation in Hungary and gave Wang Shizhen a clear answer. After finishing speaking, he felt a little worried, and asked, "Comrade Wang Shizhen, is your debate draft ready?" β
Wang Shizhen replied briskly: "I have brought the Japanese, and I feel that debate is reasonable. I don't know Hungarian and my German skills are terrible. When I get stuck, I can do some translation. β
These words frightened the embassy comrades enough, and he hurriedly said: "Comrade Wang Shizhen, this is a debate, not a speech. β
"Oh......" Wang Shizhen was inspired, and after thinking for a few seconds, he smiled and said, "I will try my best to turn the debate into a speech." β
The embassy comrade lowered his head and put his hand on his forehead, and Wang Shizhen's reaction made him speechless.
As soon as the two sides of the debate sat on the stage in the auditorium, Wang Shizhen looked at each other first. I saw five people on the other side, plus two translators, and seven people sat in a row. On his side, there is only Wang Shizhen himself, and there are embassy comrades who act as translators. 'Two translators is a good idea,' Wang Shizhen thought to herself.
After reading the other party, Wang Shizhen swept the audience again, and saw young people sitting in rows, and the aisles were full of people, and there were people at the gate and even outside the gate. At this time, Wang Shizhen was a little puzzled, since this debate was real, why the level of the Hungarian revolutionary party was so bad. It is really inconceivable that such a bad level can still instigate Comrade Wei Ze of the Emperor to send special personnel. However, the comrades of the embassy did not give Wang Shizhen an explanation in this regard, which really disappointed Wang Shizhen.
Then the debate began, whether it was an agrarian revolution or a step backwards. Perhaps having never really come into contact with the European realm of thought, Wang Shizhen was convinced that the Hungarian organizers really believed that the reform was promising, and fell into the confusion that they could not understand. If the reforms had been really useful, the nineteen-year revolutionary war that the Republic of China had begun with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would not have ended up in such a sea of corpses and blood.
The first to speak was the Hungarian upper class who supported the reform, and judging by the way he dressed, the upper class should have been from an academic background. This scholar did not blindly praise the old system, but criticized the evil deeds of the old system to a certain extent. However, the solution to the problem is not to completely eliminate the old system, but to limit it to a certain extent and punish the old perpetrators. In this way, a new Hungary will be built.
In Wang Mingshan's ears, this upper-class person was very dissatisfied with the old power distribution system. This deputy first called himself a 'people's representative', and then shouted to the masses that he represented the interests of the people. No matter how clever the tongue is, in the final analysis, it is two sentences, 'the power will belong to me' and 'send the people to death'.
Everyone was given five minutes to explain their main ideas, and Wang Shizhen listened to the content of the translation, and his brain worked quickly to decide and adjust the content of his own explanation. Now he felt that the revolutionary situation in Hungary might not be as bad as he thought, at least there were still some people who wanted to seize power and tried to use public opinion to make efforts. As the academic figure spoke, the young students were emotional, and some kept applauding, and the students below couldn't help but cheer when they were excited to preach the sermon. After a few minutes of finishing the main content, the students stood up and applauded and cheered, with the attitude of finding a confidant.
By the time Wang Shizhen spoke, the excitement of the students had not completely passed, and many people below continued to talk, and the auditorium seemed to have become a big beehive. Wang Shizhen sat steadily, and he just pointed to the students below and his ears when the host asked Wang Shizhen to speak, and made a very funny gesture that would never be misunderstood.
The host could only go up to the microphone and ask the students below to be quiet, Wang Shizhen and other students quieted down, walked up in Chinese, English, and French, and asked once, 'If anyone can understand this language, please raise your hand'. None of the students knew Chinese, one in ten knew English, and one in six knew French. In the end, Wang Shizhen spoke in very unfluent German, but a third of the students said they could understand it.
After showing off his language ability, Wang Shizhen still published his thesis in Chinese. In Wang Shizhen's view, the speech is just a tool, and he has to lead a group of Japanese people, and reasoning with them is a necessary job. So in terms of controlling the rhythm, Wang Shizhen is confident. As for the content of the argument, it is plagiarized from the content of the party class.
Revolution is the Mandate of Heaven, and the Mandate of Hungary is the aristocracy and landlords. They make profits through private ownership of land, and the relationship between private ownership of land has developed to an unprecedented extent in China, which can be described in great detail in the party class. Pick out some basic land relationships at random, and Wang Shizhen will let the students below hear the dumbfounded.
Fortunately, the organizer did not go too far, because there was a translation problem, Wang Shizhen got ten minutes. And these ten minutes were fully utilized, and it didn't take long for Wang Shizhen to draw a map of private ownership of land and fertilizer, and the big text on it took out land rent, taxes, usury, these basic means of exploiting the peasants.
The final summary is that "reform is the recognition of the existence of these land-based rentiers, and the revolution is the complete elimination of these rentiers." The improvements will not succeed, and even if they do work in the short term, they will be filled with opposition on both sides. Revolution is the transformation of the rentier class into self-reliant laborers, which is a great good deed from the standpoint of the revolution. For the aim of the revolution is to create a new world in which the working man is the master of his own affairs. β
Wang Shizhen completed the first stage of the theory within the specified time, and it can be seen that the students below are dumbfounded one by one and can't react at all. For them, such a revolution was heard for the first time. In what they were exposed to, the revolution was without exception a ferocious and brutal killing, a combination of destruction, chaos, and despair. It was a terrible torrent of 'Heavenly Street trampling on the bones of the princess, and the inner library burned to splendid ashes'. But in Wang Shizhen's theory, the core of revolution has very limited connection with violence. Revolution even has an indescribable inner meaning.
It was evident that the gentlemen on the other side also saw that the atmosphere was not necessarily very favourable for them, and the debate moved on to the next stage. Question each other. Because there were many people on the other side, they spoke first, so several gentlemen asked several questions in a row. These questions are very close to the students' thinking, and they all revolve around the violence of the revolution.
As the questions were raised, the following students responded enthusiastically. It can be seen that although these students have dissatisfaction with the existing system peculiar to young people, these dissatisfaction are not at all as wary of foreigners and their fear of the destruction of the revolution brought by foreigners.
Wang Shizhen already understood a little at this time, and the guys who instigated the debate were really far-sighted. When they are able to effectively incite students to support their reformism, and at the same time they are able to combat the 'revolutionary terror' from China, these guys will be able to move left and right and greatly increase their influence."
This world is full of people who don't give for nothing. Wang Shizhen suddenly felt a kind of peace of mind in his heart, if the world was like the cowardice and incompetence he had seen in the past few days, Wang Shizhen would feel uneasy. If a country does not have any understanding people, this is absolutely abnormal. Even if a country is rotten to the roots, there will be wise and discerning people. Now these people are operating in secret, and they are undoubtedly smart people.
For those questions, Wang Shizhen stood up and looked at the debate opponent opposite, and then he turned to the students. "Excuse me, have you had breakfast today?"
This question came as a surprise to everyone, what is the connection between eating and debate? At least the Hungarian students don't understand.
"I used to be a soldier, and for me, I got up at six o'clock in the morning for breakfast and had lunch around twelve o'clock in the afternoon. If I hadn't eaten, I would have been hungry until the afternoon. I didn't eat until the evening, and I felt powerless. Wang Shizhen calmly recounted his experience.
"For human beings, it is necessary to eat every day. Revolutionaries are not angels or demons, they are also human beings, and revolutionaries also have to eat. Of course, the same goes for the reformists. So I'll ask the question, where does the food they eat come from? What do these reformists have to eat in order to maintain their ability to act? Who is providing them with food and letting them carry out their actions. Wang Shizhen adopted the mode of rhetorical question.
It has to be said that very few of the students think this way, especially the university students. In the Republic of China, those who could go to university were those who studied well. If your family is poor, you can also apply for a student loan. If your family is in difficulty, there are also work-study opportunities. However, in Hungary, there are underfed university students, but there are no university students whose families do not have the money to go to school. If the family has no money, they will not be given the opportunity to go to university.
So Wang Shizhen's question made the students feel as if they were a scoop of cold water. Wang Shizhen then threw out a large handful of colder snowflakes, "What I really want to ask is whether these reformists are taking money from the rich or from the poor." β
There is also an advantage to having a low background, that is, you can understand the words of the gun with a stick. After Wang Shizhen's criticism was thrown, it really touched many smart students. Whether they are for or against, they all understand the meaning of Wang Shizhen's words. Although they don't speak Chinese, Hungarians also know how to do things with money. Where the poor have money, they must take the money of the rich to eat. If you take the money of the rich, no matter how much you shout 'take the money of the rich and do things for the poor', it will make people think of 'take whose money to do things for whom'.
When Wang Shizhen revealed such a small corner of the cruel reality to the students, many people really felt that their eyes were wide open and they felt a chill.
The students in the audience did not have the right to speak, but these people opposite Wang Shizhen did. After listening to Wang Shizhen's words, these people were really on fire in their hearts. As the saying goes, you don't hit people in the face, and you don't expose your shortcomings when you scold people. These people have all taken money from rich people, and these people have done things for rich people. Even if Wang Shizhen didn't know those things, these people didn't consider this reality in their hearts. Then they got a little annoyed.
"God loves people. Revolutionaries don't love. "When reformists are attacked, it is easy for them to turn to religion for help.
Wang Shizhen smiled slightly, there are many religions to be exposed to in North America, and there is never a shortage of training in this area. He smiled and said, "Christ is still against usury." He cried out: 'Let the little ones come to me!' He didn't mean to favor one over the other. The poor have no usury, and the poor want their children to be treated equally. And the revolution, at least in our country, gave equal opportunities to all. β
"Christ loves all people, rich and poor." The academics on the other side didn't expect Wang Shizhen to actually use the Bible to talk about things, and immediately retorted.
"It is harder for the rich to enter heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. Jesus must have said that. "The political department of the Liberation Army has never been stingy in imparting these basic tricks.
This does not mean that Christ does not love the world, but that His love is the same!" Wang Shizhen's retort voice was already a little angry and ruined.
Unexpectedly, the other party was not deceived by such a small talk, Wang Shizhen was not angry at all, he replied calmly: "I do not deny what you said about Jesus' position." But this statement is enough to illustrate Jesus' judgment of the world. β
The students in the venue couldn't help but whisper, and the upper echelons of the academic world could not be misled by these words. But it is easy for young students to associate the desire for wealth with inhumanity.
The host saw that something was wrong and immediately came out to play a round. "We're talking about revolution and reform, not about theology. I hope you don't bring up topics that are not related to the topic. β
This was agreed upon by the majority of the students, but a small number of students already felt something intrinsic to the debate.
The ensuing debate was very difficult, and Wang Shizhen's attitude was very simple, human beings need to eat, drink, and spend money, and revolutionaries become members of the masses by uniting with the people. The reformists, on the other hand, are paid to do things, and they cannot live on their own to support the movement. In the long run, they will inevitably become lackeys of the rich and gun-powered, doing things for these people.
The final debate will end unhappily, the people above will be unhappy, and the students below will not be able to express their positions at all. For schools, debates are not really about figuring out something, but about giving students a skill through debate. In this kind of skill class, no one will feel relaxed in the face of the inner torture of world view, values, and outlook on life.
Two days later, when Wang Shizhen was preparing for the trip again, some students ran to the embassy of the Republic of China after dark to ask to see Wang Shizhen. After receiving the meeting, the student representative expressed the hope that Wang Shizhen could give a lecture to the students. There were not many of them, but ELTE students, and the students of other schools who had read the transcript of the debate, really wanted to hear this man from a foreign country give a lecture. The feeling of the students was 'this person seems to be telling the truth'.
