"Why am I so emaciated in my cell? Because the country is weak and the family is weak. Parents are looking forward to it, waiting for good news;

Wives and children hugged the quilt, and the water chestnuts lamented bitterly. Even if he is allowed to enter this state, when and when will he return rich? Since ancient times, there have been many wanderers, how many people have celebrated triumph?"

After the promulgation of the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States, the identity of the new Chinese in the United States was immediately reviewed. Many are being held in immigration processing units.

The immigration processing station on Angel Island in San Francisco Bay has held hundreds of Chinese new arrivals to the United States. The conditions here are harsh, the interrogation period is long, and many Chinese cannot bear the humiliation and choose to commit suicide in order to seek relief.

In the dim, damp cell, a Chinese man angrily carved farewell poems on the wall, full of despair.

At the age of thirteen, he left his hometown and went to study in the United States, thousands of miles away, and lived in a foreign country for ten years.

"The country is closed and dilapidated, and the noble ministers of the Eight Banners regard the Chinese people as cattle and sheep, and would rather give outsiders to thieves!

Diligent in learning? Bitter reading? Serving the country? Even though I studied hard, I completed my junior school, intermediate school, and university education in ten years! And how!

Liwei can't report to the country! It is better to leave this crippled body to be humiliated by foreigners in vain, than to die to liberate! ”

Kuang Rongguang, who once was a member of the young children studying in the United States, refused to accept the Qing court's call to return to China because he insisted on completing his studies at Yale University, and had just obtained a bachelor's degree in mining from Yale University.

Although the final result of the trial has not yet been released, according to the Qing court's punishment of refusing to accept the summoning of foreign students, Kwong Rongguang can already guess the situation he will probably face.

In the seventh year of Guangxu (September 6, 1881), the plan for young children to study in the United States was cancelled, and according to the order of the Qing court, a total of 120 students studying in the United States would all be interrupted and repatriated to China.

The news spread thoroughly, and it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for young international students who had lived in the United States for eight or nine years and had come into contact with the knowledge and cultural influence of modern society outside.

On September 8, 1881, in order to resist the Qing court's summons, 11 students in the United States left their host American families and rushed together to seek asylum in the diplomatic mission established in the Han Kingdom.

On September 15, 1881, under the instigation and guarantee of the Han consular staff, 20 students chose to disobey the orders of the Qing court, or continue to stay in the United States to complete their studies, or take refuge in the Han Kingdom, and then transferred to European countries to start a new path of study.

None of the 120 students who studied abroad were born in the high-level ruling class of the Qing court, nor did they have a single student who was born as a child of the Eight Banners aristocracy, and none of their family relatives had the opportunity to benefit from the ruling system of the Qing court, and the way for them to study in the United States and complete their studies in order to obtain the resources to advance was stifled by the Qing court, and in addition, under the influence of the Western national ideology at the end of the 19th century, it is impossible to expect that the international students who have received modern education will still have a good impression and loyalty to the barbaric and backward Qing court.

Young people are still enthusiastic and susceptible to new ideas, and they are also the group of people who are most easily agitated.

By the end of September, when the chartered ocean-going ships were ready to take the students back to China, the Qing court officials found that fewer than 40 of the 120 students had come, and nearly 60 students refused to return to China for various reasons and excuses. (About 20 young children in the United States had been encouraged by the Han side to leave the United States.) ）

The Qing court officials in charge of supervising the affairs of international students panicked and hurriedly contacted the US government to negotiate the pursuit and repatriation of students stranded in various schools in the United States.

Kwong Rongguang, Kwong Xianyi, Kwong Jingyang, Yang Zhaonan, Huang Jiliang, Lin Peiquan, Zhou Changling, and more than a dozen others were arrested by the US government and imprisoned in a cell in San Francisco, along with thousands of American laborers.

Kwong Rongguang finished writing a farewell poem on the wall, threw away the broken stone in his hand, and closed his eyes when he was about to hit the wall to seek death, but was firmly stopped by a pair of strong arms.

"Brother, at a young age, why can't you think about it, isn't it just a matter of staying in a cell for a few days, and after a few days the Americans are relieved, we can all go out, why bother to kill yourself?"

"Brother Kangnan, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, the imperial court may have other difficulties in canceling the plan to study in the United States, even if we can't stay in the United States to continue to complete our studies, but after returning to the Central Plains, we will take the initiative to ask the imperial court to admit our guilt, and the imperial court will not blame us too much for the sake of rare talents.

Chen Lanbin, Lord Chen and Li Hongzhang, Master Li have always cherished talents, as long as we wake up in time, we will not delay the future in the future. ”

"Zhou Changling, open your dog's eyes wide, thousands of compatriots died tragically overseas, the imperial court not only did not uphold justice for overseas Chinese, but also signed an understanding agreement with the Americans, such a court also wants Lao Tzu to kowtow to him and pay allegiance! Fuck it! ”

Xu Zhixuan, who went to the United States to study naval affairs, couldn't get used to the corners of Zhou Changling's humble mouth, and scolded, "Your father was a dog for the British in Hong Kong, and he sent you to the United States to study by relying on the power of the British.

Fake dog minion, get out of the way, say one more, and immediately kill your dog! ”

Xu Zhixuan's eyes widened wildly, so frightened that Zhou Changling shrank aside and didn't dare to speak.

"The people and compatriots have been humiliated to this point, and they still cannot be united! What's the point of surviving for a while? ”

Kwong Rongguang witnessed the quarrel between the two classmates and said sadly.

"Brother's words are wrong, the Manchu Qing Dynasty Tatars poisoned the Central Plains for nearly three hundred years, tied their hair and changed their clothes, tampered with, and destroyed the saints' classics, and the people lived numbly in order to survive, and my generation of young people, fortunate to go to sea to see modern civilization, awaken the national concept, so far in troubled times, aspiring young people should stand up and awaken the sleeping spirit of the people! How can we rebuild the character of the people because of temporary setbacks and humiliation? ”

"The court has no way, and the people don't know the righteousness, where can we see hope?"

"Who says there is no hope, in today's world, is there only one mainland as the residence of Chinese descendants?"

"You mean the South American Han Kingdom?"

It is precisely this meaning, on the hardships and hardships, His Majesty led hundreds of remnants of the army, decided to revolt, and faced so many hardships and hardships, and today, His Majesty and the South American Chinese have been based in the La Plata region for 14 years, expanding more than 360 square kilometers, 10 million people, and 200,000 enthusiastic and courageous Chinese men under his command! With such an achievement, pushing up to 5,000 years in China, how many heroes can do it! ”

"Are you from South America?"

"Yes, brother Tu Haitao, on the orders of your superiors, I will go into the prison to answer you."

"Being in a desperate situation, facing the calm response of foreigners from all over South America, how many unbearable hardships did His Majesty of the Han Kingdom have to endure to create the situation of the Han Kingdom in South America today?"

Imagining the difficulties and setbacks of Li Mingyuan's entrepreneurial stage,

Kuang Rongguang suddenly felt that the difficulties he encountered were not only not comparable to Li Mingyuan, but also far inferior to those Peruvian Chinese workers who fought with Li Mingyuan.

"A dignified seven-foot hot-blooded man, treated as a slave to the Eight Banners Manchurians at home, and abused and beaten to death by foreigners like pigs and dogs overseas, I'm fed up with Kuang Rongguang!

Jing Yang, Zhiqing, Ziming, no matter what you plan, I will not return to China no matter what! ”

The country is sinking, the people are suffering, it's a big deal to give up their own blood and turn against the Manchu court of this dog's day! ”

An unprecedented belief took root in his heart, and Kwong Rongguang felt as if the blood in his body was boiling, full of hope and strength!

"Aspiring young people bear the hope of the future of the nation, when they stand up and build the backbone of the country with their enthusiasm, I have decided to return to the Han Kingdom in South America and use the knowledge I have learned to contribute to the construction of a happy land for the Chinese!"

"Brother Rongguang, are you only an aspiring young man, and we are all cowardly and cowardly? The slave of the alien Tartars, if you don't do it, go to the Han Kingdom in South America, count me in! ”

"Me too, the eldest husband is going to live vigorously, how can I kowtow and kneel for the rest of my life, and be a slave to the Qing court and foreigners!"

"I have long admired His Majesty the Emperor of Han for his martial arts, and I am the one who goes to South America!"

Infected by the emotions of Tu Haitao and Kuang Rongguang, except for Zhou Changling, whose home is in Xiangjiang, other students studying in the United States have agreed!

"Your Majesty often says, young people, young people are the hope of the future of the country and the nation, the country is strong when the youth is strong, the country is strong when the youth is strong, the country is stronger than the world, the country is better than the world, you are all in the prime of life, enthusiastic and strong young people, to meet you, is really a great blessing in life!"

"It's also a blessing for us to meet a young hero like Brother Tu."

"It's just ......"

"Thank you brothers for lifting up, let's talk slowly in the future, and it's important to discuss how to meet your plan for returning!"

"Brother Tu, please speak, we listen to your orders!" ……
