Chapter 118: Ending the Foreigner's Sense of Superiority
"Oh, Esoteric? Can you tell me what this secret is? A reporter who had not spoken suddenly said, Yang Xia must be, this guy is a native of the United States, and he has a mouthful of English flavor of the United States.
"Since it's said that it's a secret legend, it's naturally impossible to sue you. Okay, go ahead, we don't have the news you need. Yang Xia admonished again.
After speaking, Yang Xia signaled to Chen Pinxia and Chen Lao, you can take everyone away, if you stand here and don't leave, foreigners think that there is an opportunity, and they will rely on it.
Perhaps, Chen Lao still realized something, and when he saw Yang Xia signaling him to go, he immediately led everyone out of the square and walked in the direction of the hotel.
Yang Xia naturally followed along, and the group of foreigners stood in place for a while, and finally left. Others don't give interviews, and they can't force them.
In fact, if this group of foreigners is an honest reporter, Yang Xia is also willing to communicate with them. But that guy is obviously tempting Chen Pinxia and Chen Lao, why don't you move your family to Shangjing? If you are not prepared for this question, you may not be able to answer it well. Behind this question, there is one of the most fundamental differences between China and the West: migration/migration/freedom/freedom.
The question is that under the national conditions of China, can that kind of policy be introduced? China is an agrarian society, while the West is a seafaring society, both of which are fundamentally different. The history of later generations has proved that even if the government guides the people to migrate, and the people are unwilling, the difficulties and problems in the process are unimaginably complex.
Yang Xia and the others went back to the hotel, but the matter was not over. Yang Xia clearly felt that there were two plainclothes people following them. It's just that Yang Xia thought about it repeatedly. Just now, the delegation of Nanshu writers, including himself, can be regarded as winning glory for the country. Even if these plainclothes follow, what can be gained?
From Yang Xia's point of view. The two plainclothes may have been stalked by white, and none of the people in this group were traitors, and the other was not spies. However, from the point of view of plainclothes, they felt that it was worth tracking, because they found a very strange teenager, whose English was smoother than that of their veteran informants, and this teenager reversed the shape of the conversation in just one sentence.
What's the matter, although we like to go to Beijing. But we love our hometown just too much! Moreover, in the end, the word "secret biography" was used to arouse the appetite of foreigners, and a few simple dialogues and confrontations made foreigners play around. Who is this young man?
Of course, plainclothes can completely stop Yang Xia and the others and ask each other directly which unit they belong to, and it is easy to make it clear when you think about it. However, plainclothes did not do this. They decided to sneak up and see, perhaps, to hear more conversations. Of course, they track. It is because this group of people, both old and young, walked to Tiananmen Square, since it was on foot. Isn't that going to be a long way?
"Hi, Yang Xia. Did you just speak English? Bai Shan, editor-in-chief of Nanshu writers, asked.
"Yes, Mr. Bai." Yang Xia has a lot of respect for Baishan. And I'm a little ashamed, because after I gave them prose in the early days, the poems I've been writing lately, even if there are essays, have been taken away by other newspapers.
"I didn't expect your English to be so good." Bai Shan sighed inexplicably.
"By the way, Yang Xia, you let us go just now, did you feel something wrong?" Chen Pinxia and Chen Lao are not too stupid, and finally understand the risks in the square.
"Yes, because those foreigners have bad intentions. Your next questions will not be answered, nor will you be answered, but whether you answer or not, you will fall into the trap of others! Yang Xia didn't care about the intelligence officers who followed behind, and told the truth as much as possible about these writers who were still relatively simple at this time.
In fact, the incident that happened in the square ten years later may not have been instigated by foreigners, and it may not have been without the reasons why those students were young and ignorant. At that time, although China was open, but looking at foreign countries is still like a fog, after all, there are a few people who have been abroad, and most of those who have been abroad are also very confused, and they have long been fascinated by their skyscrapers, how can they still distinguish the true from the fake.
"Wouldn't it? With so many people looking at them, do they dare to do bad things? A writer representative named Wang Jiuchen was a little unimpressed.
"I believe what Comrade Yang Xia said, for example, since the foreigner likes to go to Beijing, why don't you make your home in Beijing? I was thinking about it at the time, or Yang Xia came up to relieve the siege, although we like to go to Beijing, we also like our hometown. Yes, in that case, why do we have to make our home in Shangjing? This question has to be asked rhetorically, not directly. Answer directly, no matter what the answer is, foreigners will still have questions, and at that time, you will be dizzy. After all, Chen Pinxia is a department-level cadre, and he immediately thought of something, and he also found a way to fight back.
This is like the relationship between teachers and primary school students, in elementary school, why teachers are very authoritative, not that the teacher is powerful, but that the student's mentality is wrong, if the primary school student will ask rhetorically, presumably the teacher's life is not so good.
"It turns out that the young man's name is Yang Xia." When the two intelligence agents got the news, they slowed down. Because they roughly guessed their identity from this group of people, both old and young, with strong local accents and casually dressed, this is a group of writers' representatives who came to Beijing for a meeting, so they can already go back to make a business.
Yang Xia felt that the two plainclothes people slowed down, and his heart was also relieved, although he felt that there was nothing wrong, but who knows, besides, Yang Xia himself is not very familiar with foreign-related things, and when Yang Xia had the opportunity to learn about this piece in later generations, the times were completely different, and at this time, Shangjing was still a particularly sensitive period, so the activities of the wall did not end.
It's just that what happened later was completely different from Yang Xia's original intention. At 7 o'clock in the evening, Gu Min, secretary of the Nanshu Writers Association, knocked on Yang Xia's room again: "Comrade Yang Xia, please go to the conference room on the eighth floor to hold an emergency meeting!" ”
"Hey, I'll go right away." I just had a short time after eating, and it was good to move.
"Comrades, after receiving the notice of the Huaxia Writers Association, a short meeting will be held temporarily, because the matter is more urgent. It's a waste of time. Next, I would like to invite Comrade Zhang Jingde, a member of the party group of the Huaxia Writers Association, to give instructions. ”
"This time. It is really inappropriate to call comrades to a meeting. But the matter is urgent, please forgive me. Before I make arrangements for the collaborative work, I would like to ask Comrade Chen Lansheng to give a briefing on the situation. Zhang Jingde said a few words, and pushed the people around him out.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Lansheng, and I am a staff member of the security team of the conference. Here, I would like to report two things, the first thing, today at 4:30 p.m. When the delegation of the Beisai Writers' Association went sightseeing in Tiananmen Square and met a group of foreign journalists, because they were not good at dealing with foreign journalists, they said some things that were easy to be used by Western hostile forces.
The second thing happened in Tiananmen Square. The nature of the incident is exactly the same, that is, at about 4:10 minutes, your delegation of Nanshu writers also met that group of foreign journalists, and. The questions asked were almost identical, but to our great relief. Comrade Yang Xia of your delegation of Nanshu writers not only skillfully defused the malicious interviews of foreign reporters. He also won the initiative in the dialogue and won glory for the country. Comrades sitting there. Many people were at the scene at the time, but they may not know what Comrade Yang Xia said at that time, I have a record here, I will read it to you, you will understand when you listen to it-"
In fact, when Chen Lansheng of the Ministry of Security revealed his identity, the writers attending the meeting were already very nervous, they were secret workers of the intelligence front, would it be good to come to their own meeting? Sure enough, it's not a good thing, the writer who said the wrong thing in Beisai, if he didn't say that he was expelled after returning to the unit, he would definitely be punished, oops, isn't this Shangjing the first good place, how did it become the first dangerous place, there are traps for any word.
Listen, listen, how can you be praised? Although it is a comrade Yang Xia who is praised, it is basically certain that there is nothing to do with the Nanshu writers. Then, everyone listened carefully to what Yang Xia said at that time-
Yang Xia said: Although we like Beijing, we also like our hometown! Everyone has heard this sentence, and Yang Xia then said in English: Let's go, we don't have the news you imagined here! In addition, I would like to advise you: Describing the world with colored eyes will ultimately harm others and yourself.
The foreigner retorted: Ah, who are you, are you threatening us?
Yang Xia asked rhetorically: Am I threatening you? Do I need to threaten you? Do you have any evidence that I threatened you, I am talking about a common saying in our Chinese - lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot! Excuse me, are you willing to shoot yourself in the foot? I'm reminding you as a friend, but you're a dog biting Lu Dongbin - you don't know the hearts of good people!
After a while, another foreigner asked: Hey, this gentleman, your English is so authentic, which university in the UK did you study? Guess how Yang Xia answered?
Yang Xia replied like this: Although learning a language is the best to go to the place where the language is generated, what I want to say is that although it is the best, it is not the only one! Chinese culture has been around for 5,000 years, and it has long had its own secret about how to learn.
A foreigner immediately said: Oh, secret legend? Can you tell me what this secret is?
Yang Xia finally said: Since it is said that it is a secret legend, it is naturally impossible to sue you. Okay, go ahead, we don't have the news you need.
Everyone understands that Comrade Yang Xia was full of clever ways in his conversations with these ill-intentioned foreigners, not only defusing the offensive of foreigners, but also safeguarding the dignity of the motherland. Okay, everybody, get busy. I will report on these two things. ”
This Chen Lansheng stopped abruptly when he said this, then nodded with everyone and left. Nepal media, can't you wait, and the secretary of the writers' association hasn't left.
"Comrade Yang Xia, I'm curious. Why did you think to say these things at the time? As soon as Chen Lan left before her death, Zhang Jingde of the Party Group of the Writers' Association asked.
"Nepal media, you can't be low-key if you want to!" Yang Xia was depressed for a moment, and then said very casually: "Leader, my idea at that time was very simple, that is, I couldn't let the comrades of Nanshu suffer. ”
The comrades of Nanshu, especially Comrade Chen Pinxia, were all red, and they were afraid for a while! He really felt extremely lucky, if it weren't for Yang Xia, he would really have fallen into the way of a foreigner, and maybe the chairman's position would be gone when he went back.
Is Yang Xia's words true or false? It should be said that half-truths and half-truths. Half true, he did have this idea at that time, after all, everyone is from Nanshu, and everyone is uncomfortable if someone makes a mistake; Half-false is also another half-truth, that is, he has a kind of unhappiness in his heart when he sees foreigners, Nepal media, these foreigners have been superior in China for more than 100 years, Yang Xia's truest idea is to end the foreigner's sense of superiority!
It's just that this point of view can't be said, because it is not quite in line with the general trend of reform and opening up of the great man. (To be continued......)
