Shanghai, Public Stadium.

The athletes of the Olympic national team, sponsored by Zhou Hexuan, have gathered from all over the world to conduct intensive training more than half a year in advance.

Regardless of the event, the athletes run 5,000 meters every morning, well, that's a warm-up.

"Hey, Liu, morning!"

"Mary, you're prettier today."

“……”

Charles Paddock had a fritter in his mouth and greeted people all the way. He was hired as a well-paid track and field head coach, broke the sprint world record more than a decade ago, and invented the "leopard sprint".

It's just that the World Champion has now become a dead fat man with a belly as big as a pregnant woman.

Charles Paddock fought in World War I, then turned to sprinter, and when he couldn't run, he joined the newspaper as a reporter. If he hadn't been asked to come to China as an instructor, he would have served as a Marine Corps adviser during World War II, and eventually died on a flight mission.

As for the "Mary" that Paddock just flirted with, she is a specially appointed language teacher of the Chinese national team, responsible for tutoring foreign languages for athletes. If nothing else, at least you have to learn the language of the competition, such as "all in place" and "start".

Today's international languages are English and French, and the next Olympics will be held in Germany, so who knows what language the referees and starters will speak.

Take Charles Paddock, an American who competed in Belgium more than a decade ago, and the starter actually spoke French in the final. Paddock listened with a confused face, mishearing "all in place" as "re-prepare", and he was still stunned when the starting gun sounded, and he was already more than 3 meters behind others at the start, well, this guy still won the championship in the end.

"Run! Keep running, pick up the speed," Liu Chunhe, the head coach of daily training, shouted, "It's a national shame that the hateful little Japanese assassinated Mr. Zhou in London!" The cost of our current training camp is sponsored by Mr. Zhou out of his own pocket, and we can't embarrass Mr. Zhou! We must increase the amount of training and strive to get good results in the Olympic Games next year, which is worthy of Mr. Zhou's ardent hope! Run, run for me! ”

"Liu has gone crazy and actually doubled the amount of daily training," Charles Paddock said to Mary after chewing the last part of the fritters, "Well, the breakfast in China is really good." Mary, are you free for the weekend? Let's go to the movies together. ”

Mary rolled her eyes: "If you can lose 60 pounds, consider going on a date." ”

"I protest, fat people also have human rights!" Paddock roared.

In a short time, dozens of athletes from the national team had completed the 5,000-meter warm-up run, gathered together to catch their breath and chat.

A car suddenly drove into the stadium, and Wang Zhengting, president of the All-China Sports Association (Chinese Olympic Committee), walked over happily and shouted: "Coaches, athletes, there is good news for everyone!" ”

Liu Chunhe leaned over and greeted, "President Wang, what good news." ”

Wang Zhengting waved the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile: "There is news from Sweden that Mr. Zhou has won the Nobel Prize in Literature!" Mr. Zhou is the first Nobel Prize winner in China and the second in Asia after Rabindranath Tagore in India! ”

"Hooray!"

"Long live Mr. Zhou!"

After a brief moment of stunned and shock, the coaches and athletes suddenly began to cheer loudly, and many men and women hugged each other and jumped wildly.

"Won, really won! Ahh Liu Chunhe cried with joy, waved his fist and shouted, "Mr. Zhou can win the award, we can also win the award, everyone work hard." ”

Wang Zhengting smiled and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Mr. Zhou is the pride of China, and you are also the pride of China." Chinese are not the sick men of East Asia, Chinese are the best race, and I hope to see you on the podium at next year's Berlin Olympics! Long live China! ”

"Long live China!"

"Long live China!"

The coaches and athletes were full of passion, and their blood was about to spurt out, and the slogans were mixed with excitement, resentment and hope.

……

Tianjin, First Hope Primary School.

The former concubine Wen embroidery has been washed away at this time. She is nominally the vice president of the China Hope Foundation, but most of the time, she stands on the podium and lectures to students.

Last fall, Wen Xiu got married, and her husband was Chen Zuoke, the principal of First Hope Elementary School.

Chen Zuoke is 12 years older than Wenxiu, not highly educated, middle-aged and widowed, with a son and a daughter by his side. The marriage of the two of them did not alarm anyone, and they lived together after receiving the license, and they didn't even set up a simple banquet.

"All of them, assemble at the playground!" Yao Zhen, a math and physical education teacher, blew the whistle and shouted.

When the students arrived at the playground, they found that the national flag had been lowered, as if preparing for a flag-raising ceremony. Everyone is very curious, today is not Monday, what are you doing raising the national flag?

Hope Primary School has developed to now, there are 163 schools, mainly distributed in Hebei and Pingjin areas, and there are a few in Henan and Shandong. Not to mention any private donations, only Zhou Hexuan's own donation is as much as 300,000 yuan per year.

In the nine years since 1926, more than 20,000 students have graduated from Hope Primary School, more than 110,000 students are still studying, and more than 40,000 students have dropped out of school for some reason. The oldest graduates have now been admitted to higher secondary schools, and even those who have dropped out of school can write and calculate.

In North China, Hope Primary School is a signboard, and even after children drop out of school, it is more advantageous to become an apprentice for others - there is no need to ask for an insurance person.

Among the many Hope Primary Schools, Tianjin No. 1 Hope Primary School and Peking No. 1 Hope Primary School are the most famous, both of which have more than 500 students enrolled in the school, which is very large.

"Raise the national flag!"

"Sing the National Flag Song!"

The principal, Chen Zuoke, shouted passionately, his hand holding the newspaper was shaking, and the other teachers were also so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

The students looked up at the rising of the national flag and sang in unison: "The mountains and rivers are magnificent, and the products are abundant." Yan Huang Shixuan, East Asia dominates. Don't give up on yourself, don't be complacent, glorify our nation, and promote the ...... of great harmony"

This is the "National Flag Song" of the Republic of China, which is different from the national anthem, and is specially sung when the flag is raised and lowered.

It is said that the Nanjing National Government is very strange, not only rarely use the national anthem and the national flag song separately, but also even have three versions of the national flag song, and even once used the party song to replace the national anthem and the national flag song.

Until now, in 1935, the Nanjing government has not determined a standard version of the national flag song.

Is there such a central government?

When the national flag was raised to the top, Chen Zuoke smiled and said to Wen Xiu: "You can announce it." ”

Wen Xiu wore a cheap cloth jacket, walked to the flag-raising platform, and said with a smile: "Students, teachers, tell you a good news." Mr. Zhou Hexuan, won the Nobel Prize in Literature! ”

"Bang Bang!"

The teachers had already known the news in advance, and at this time they led the students to applaud wildly.

Seeing that all the students were puzzled, Wen Xiu said: "The Nobel Prize is the highest award in the world. So far, only India's Rabindranath Tagore and our Mr. Zhou Hexuan have received such honors in the whole of Asia! Students, some people compare Chinese to the sick man of East Asia, and some people say that the yellow race is an inferior race, but these are all rumors and false! Chinese can also win the Nobel Prize, Mr. Zhou can win the prize, as long as you study hard, you may also win the prize when you grow up! We are no worse than others, and what foreigners can do, Chinese can also do......"

The hundreds of students in the playground, all of whom were poor children, heard of the "Nobel Prize" for the first time and did not understand the significance of it. They only know that Mr. Zhou won the grand prize, just like they got a certificate for good results.

Maybe one day, when they recall this moment, they still remember what the teacher said: "We must study hard and strive to become a person who is useful to the country and the nation like Mr. Zhou." ”

……

Hankow.

The big stage of the new market.

Mei Lanfang was performing "Farewell My Concubine", and the audience gathered and applauded.

"Persuade the king to drink and listen to Yu songs, and relieve the king's sorrow and dance. Ying Qin has no way to break the country, and the heroes are fighting in all directions. Since ancient times, as the saying goes, don't deceive me, the moment of success or failure, the treasure account of drinking is relaxed, and the treasure account is ......"

"Good!"

On the stage, "Xiang Yu" strode to the center, and was about to say "There is a concubine", when someone suddenly dragged Zhang Wanbao to the stage: "Good news!" ”

"Xiang Yu" was stunned, and said anxiously: "What's the good news?" But the Han army retreated. ”

"Hahahaha!"

The audience was collectively stunned, but when they heard this, they suddenly burst into laughter.

The troublemaker is also a drama fan, and Nianbai said: "Your lord, the whole world celebrates the great news!" Wow, yes, yes! ”

"Xiang Yu" turned sideways and said: "Concubine, and submit the battle report!" ”

was disturbed to sing for no reason, Mei Lanfang was extremely dissatisfied, but she could only continue to act. He opened the evening newspaper, glanced at it, and was overjoyed, and couldn't help but say: "King, it's really good news!" ”

"Xiang Yu" was anxious, and hurriedly urged: "What good news is it, come quickly and with lonely thoughts!" ”

Mei Lanfang quietly made a gesture, and the scene (accompaniment band) immediately understood, and immediately began to blow and beat. Mei Lanfang sang with the accompaniment of the music card: "Zhou Hexuan is a true bachelor, and now he is famous in Europa." Beat the great writers of China and the West, Nobel Prize...... He called it in his hand! ”

After singing, Mei Lanfang shouted loudly: "King Qiyu, Mr. Zhou Hexuan, a scholar of my country, has won the Nobel Prize in Literature!" ”

Countless audiences in the audience were pleasantly surprised, and suddenly burst into cheers: "Good! ”

"Xiang Yu" danced and snatched the sword in Mei Lanfang's hand, and improvised a dance, and the musicians followed the gongs and drums, and the scene instantly became cheerful. "Xiang Yu" sang while dancing the sword: "Wen is outstanding and famous, and he was assassinated." Imperial concubine! ”

"The concubine is here!" Mei Lanfang responded.

"Xiang Yu" drew his sword and looked around, and said excitedly: "Mr. Zhou's literary cover is a hero, and his name is Europa, so that the world will know that I have heroes in China!" What about national disasters? Let's see our self-improvement. Concubine, hurry up and fight with Gu to get out of the encirclement and welcome Mr. Zhou's return to China! ”

Mei Lanfang bowed her knees and said, "Concubine Command!" ”

"Good!"

The audience stood up and applauded, and the cheers from the audience were so loud that they could tear down the ceiling of the theater.
