Chapter 26: Broad-minded
In the construction of the city of Kotoshima for a year in a row, the majestic and magnificent scenery has been completely highlighted.
The overpasses intersect in the city center, looking like blooming flowers in the sky, and their outstretched paths, like spider's legs, wind through the tall and low buildings of the city.
All kinds of cars of all kinds are running back and forth on the road. At the airfield on the outskirts of the city, there are groups of planes that take off and land from time to time. The huge body of the airship, which rises slowly and often blocks the sun's light, comes and goes in the air, and it doesn't feel very crowded when it is poured out.
Below, on the vast fields of fertile land, it was no longer ploughing oxen that walked slowly, but tractors that were small and stretched out and carrying huge ploughshares and were busy in the fields.
In the distance in Qingdao City, at the harbor, tall cranes are nervously unloading goods from ships.
These are just a year's worth of construction, and there is little to believe in what anyone says. If they believe, they will say that it is a miracle.
But who knows how many thousands of scholars, hundreds of thousands of international students studying various sciences, how much effort and sleepless nights this future city has spent! Since they arrived at all the excellent universities in Europe and the Americas, all of them have been under the leadership of Gu Weiduo's student union, and they have begun to discuss what an "ideal city" looks like.
After the site was determined, it was used to organize scholars to discuss and demonstrate day and night by what kind of secret means, and after that, another construction plan was spent to invite the world's top urban construction scholars and architects to sort out and formulate the final construction plan.
The cost of money and manpower can be staggering in any country.
After the capture of Qingdao, the construction plan began. Who knows how the China Renaissance Party, which has reached hundreds of thousands of party members from the most basic level three to the first level, will lead the dozens of millions of Shandong people in Qingdao and its vicinity to carry out construction brick by brick.
If it weren't for the installed capacity of wind turbines reaching a certain level, how could it be possible to use several airships all night to illuminate the sky, making the entire Qindao a city that never sleeps.
To make all this praise into a miracle is exactly the praise that the world should give them.
It should be said here that although he is more idealistic than practical, he is not fundamentally a traitor.
Of course, because of the environment, I don't have a clear view of international politics. Because of credulity, he is often instigated by others to make some wrong decisions. Just like in the last "Guangdong Incident", he unfortunately played a bad role. The most basic misconception is that no one would believe that the Chinese National Defense Force at that time was capable of defeating the retaliation of the Japanese army.
Whether it was the Chinese soldiers at that time, or Wang Jingwei and his wife, who had seen Tang Yunyang in Europe, almost everyone asserted that in the face of Japan's all-out attack, it would only cause the fall of Shandong.
However, as a result! As a result, the eyes of the people were shocked, and the "Chinese Revolutionary Party" fell from its seat as the vanguard of the Chinese revolution and became an accomplice in aiding and abetting the abuse. Not only did the radio stations in Shanghai and Shandong continue to report this to the whole country, but the number of members of the "Chinese Revolutionary Party" is rapidly losing like a stock market crash.
As a leader, in addition to his own self-blame, his prestige in the party has rapidly declined, and even his position as a leader has become precarious. At this time, the most ridiculous thing is that the party members who had signed and maintained absolute obedience to the "sir" personally began to move.
Ever since the airship entered the place where the city of Kotoshima could be seen, "Mister" never left the city below, and he was deeply attracted by the new and vibrant city.
The "lady" on the side is also looking at this rapidly developing and hopeful place.
"Looking at the scale of construction here, to be able to build such a place full of bright vitality, such a character should also be a broad-minded person!"
"Sir" also nodded and said, "Yes, if you only know people who are fighting for power and profit, it is impossible to build such a magnificent city in such a short time!" ”
Indeed, the debate within the party on whether or not we should be "broad-minded" was only concluded the day before yesterday, and the debate among the people is still being debated in the newspapers and on the radio. Compared with Wu Zhihui, the "critics" here are much freer, they can scold whenever they want, and they will not interfere no matter how they scold.
"Isn't there a gap in philosophy? So I have to ask, what is the difference between Shanghai and New York? ”
Tang Yunyang's question made Gu Weijun and other people in Europe and the United States want to laugh. Shanghai was one of the most famous cities in the world at the time, and the other was just a colony invaded by foreign countries, a place full of rogue tycoons and extraterritoriality, and no place for even the most basic dignity.
In their eyes, it is not a question of how to compare, but a question of whether or not they are qualified.
Here I have to say two "bad words" about Shanghai.
If we talk about the image of Shanghai in the hearts of others, it is like a girl in my own family, although her beauty is undeniable, but because of the opening of Shanghai, it belongs to a place that grew up in a special atmosphere formed under colonial rule.
When it comes to the economy, no one dares to say that Shanghai is insignificant. But when it comes to the impression of Shanghai, it is often said by others that "Shanghai is stingy, and Shanghainese are scathing!" ”
Regardless of whether this assessment is correct or not, as a Chinese man, Shanghai has become a paradise for foreigners and hooligans, and the reason is simply because of the shame that a generation of Chinese men destroyed by opium has created for China.
It's like a girl from a certain family who is bullied by others, who is to blame? Do you want to blame the girl in that family for no reason? This is extremely unreasonable behavior!
And this shame comes not only from the aggression of foreign devils, but also from the social form of the Chinese themselves, including everyone, who has never received the same respect for science as "officials" or "gods". A hundred years of shame is nothing but the shame of a hundred years of backwardness, and if one day science is backward, then it will always be a shame, a shame that has never been cleaned.
Because, as someone else once said, if a guy falls twice in the same pit, then this guy must be an incorrigible stupid. But today, when we are speculating in real estate, beautiful women and handsome men, we are beginning to worry about seeing the source of shame - the impetuousness immersed in the hustle and bustle, which has just become a little beautiful, is being resurrected in this city that has just become a little beautiful.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of the participants, Tang Yunyang also smiled.
"Everyone thinks it's unacceptable, but in fact, everyone has not thought about it, one is the economic center of China, the world's largest country, and a young city that is growing. So I would like to ask, what is the difference between them? No, you don't have to answer, please listen to what I have to say, right? ”
Tang Yunyang stretched out his hand to stop everyone's discussion, and politely reminded everyone that whether they agreed with him or not, he was speaking now, and others should maintain procedural respect.
"I would say that the difference between Shanghai and New York is only two words - mind!"
After reading reports on the Internet about the exclusion of foreigners by Shanghai locals, it already made him feel uncomfortable. In my mind, I have already decided that Shanghai is just a stingy Shanghai.
If you talk about the city you admire, Tang Yunyang admires New York. It was not its prosperity, it was not its abundance that attracted him. In his consciousness, what he admires is the inclusiveness, acceptance, and openness of New York City.
If you can look down on people everywhere when it comes to affluence, then isn't New York, the richest city in the world, qualified?
But New York doesn't! Its abundance is a testament to the fact that openness is where New York's cleverness and wisdom lie.
This is not something that any leader will put forward on a whim, it is naturally put forward by the motives of social development, and once it is formed, it is not something that any leader can change. (Excerpted from, "Wealth and Civilization" by Mr. Ji Huaiqiu)
Therefore, New York's mind is broad-minded, and after hearing the kind of xenophobic words that circulate on the Internet, Shanghai, which is full of impetuous hustle and bustle today, has become more and more petty in Tang Yunyang's eyes.
Here, there is no need to discuss whether Tang Yunyang's views are correct, after all, no one is perfect, and I believe that Shanghai's xenophobia is only a small part.
Finally, Tang Yunyang made a concluding speech, and at this time, because of his speech, quite a few people had a trace of understanding in their eyes! ”
"Although I have said that Shanghai is not a good thing, it is foreseeable that if we intend to make Shanghai a real Pearl of the Orient, then it is a sufficient and necessary premise to first give a broad mind.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that some people are saying that the Chinese people should not enjoy democracy now, but should first teach them what democracy is.
Personally, this is a ridiculous theory, and only a fool would think so. It's as if you don't need to give your child what milk or what kind of food to feed, just smell it, isn't this pure? That's why I'm asking the members of the committee to agree to run for election after the country is stabilized! ”
Having said that, there is no need to go on, the applause already represents this group of elites who have returned from Europe and the United States, and agrees with the mind of their common leader!
