0357 Reading for the Rise of China

It was a scene that will never be forgotten for the rest of your life.

The old man, the young, and the child all stood up straight, took off their hats, and looked at the hearse quietly, weeping, not bothering to wipe the tears from their cheeks.

Wang Liang restored the scene at that time: "That kind of grief is incomparable. On that ten-mile-long street, Comrade Daluan greeted and saw off many international friends from all over the world, and accompanied the chairman to inspect the PLA troops many times. ”

"Once, the masses could see Comrade Da Luan here, see his vigorous body and kind face. How blessed you are! ”

"On that day, however, the beloved Prime Minister lay quietly in the hearse, gradually drifting away, and said goodbye to us forever!"

On that day, the hearse moved slowly and touched the hearts of thousands of people.

Many people ran after the hearse on the sidewalk.

How people wish the car would stop, how much they wish that time would stop.

Don't go—don't go—don't go—

I am willing to exchange my life for 10, 20, 30 years and even my own life in exchange for Premier Zhou's health!

But the hearse faded away, and finally disappeared into the night.

The people were still facing the direction of the hearse, standing quietly, as if waiting for him to return.

The fight against devils is motivated by hatred for Japan and US imperialism.

But in those successive turmoil, it was this great man who drove Wang Liang to persevere.

He is there, and Wang Liang has a bright light in his heart.

No matter how dark it is in front of you, your heart will always be bright.

He said: "Study for the rise of China." ”

As a young man, he witnessed the reality of Chinese being bullied and humiliated by foreigners in foreign concessions but had nowhere to reason, and the Chinese dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

He didn't understand why foreigners were so arrogant on China's borders.

The uncle sighed and told him, "China is in a bad mood! ”

In class, the principal asked the students a question, "What do you study for?" ”

The students' answers were very enthusiastic.

"Read for reason."

"Study for the sake of being an official."

"Reading to earn money"

"Reading for Food"

"Reading for social status."

One answer after another, but none of them were satisfactory.

He stood up, but replied clearly and firmly: "Study for the rise of China!" ”

He was only thirteen years old.

In the face of the answer of 'reading for the rise of China', the others are overshadowed.

At only thirteen years old, he already realized that if the Chinese wanted to be free from imperialist bullying, they had to revitalize China.

He said so, and later, he did the same, until the end of his life.

And the sonorous and powerful words of 'reading for the rise of China', even today, still inspire countless Chinese sons and daughters to forge ahead.

He said: "I would like to meet when China takes off the world." ”

Wang Liang said wistfully: "In 1917, after graduating from Nankai High School, he went to Japan to study. Before leaving, he wrote a parting message to his classmates: "I wish to meet when China takes off the world." 'A hundred years have passed, this prosperous era is as you wish, the mountains and rivers are still there, and the country and the people are safe. Check it out! Take a second look! ”

These words were said again, and countless people burst into tears.

Tears kept rolling in his eyes, and he couldn't control it at all.

The love of great men is so earth-shattering.

Before he rushed to Europe from Nankai University to work in Europe, he and Sister Deng had already known each other. It's just an acquaintance, and it's not at all to the level of a romantic relationship. Wang Liang recalled that these were all his own introducers to join the party, and the protagonist of the story told them to himself.

These stories with a strong romantic flavor undoubtedly helped Wang Liang strengthen his revolutionary beliefs at that time.

Acquaintance with the May Fourth Movement.

At that time, after returning from studying in Japan, he entered Nankai University and actively participated in the student movement in Tianjin.

Sister Deng, who studied at the No. 1 Girls' Normal School in Zhili, was also an active member of the student movement, and she served as the speech captain of the Women's Patriotic Comrades Association.

Wang Liang said: "In 1919, the relationship between the two of them, Sister Deng later described it to me when she recalled: 'We have an impression of each other, and it is very faint. ’”

It wasn't until 1923 that Sister Deng, who was still staying in Jinshi, suddenly received a postcard from France from him.

In the postcard is written: "I hope that the two of us will go to the guillotine together in the future, just like the two of them." ”

Who are the two of them?

The postcard that had been sent across the ocean was emblazoned with portraits of Liebknecht and Luxembourg.

Liebknecht and Luxemburg were both founders of the German Communist Party and a pair of lovers.

Luxemburg was a well-known political activist and theoretician of the international communist movement, who later died leading an armed uprising of workers in Berlin.

At the moment when she saw the postcard, Sister Deng understood that it was the common ambition of the two of them to devote themselves to the great struggle to save the country and the people.

That's enough.

"This is our prime minister's first confession of love for his wife. May the two of us go to the guillotine together in the future. This is not a revolutionary manifesto, it is a love letter. The love letters that belong to that era, just one line of words, carry all the weight of life. ”

Wang Liang struggled to recall more details.

In 1919, the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal May Fourth Movement broke out, and they met.

At that time, she was studying at the First Women's Normal School in Beiyang Zhili, and was the speech captain of the Women's Patriotic Comrades Association.

He has just returned from studying in Japan and is the editor-in-chief of the Tianjin Student Federation Newspaper.

In order to strengthen the strength of the struggle, he, she, and a dozen other aspiring young people established the core organization of the Tianjin student patriotic movement, the Awakening Society, and published the irregular journal "Enlightenment".

I can imagine how precious it is to be able to share common ideals and aspirations in that era when the road ahead is unclear and the wind and rain are fluttering.

I'm afraid that's the most romantic thing.

This romance happened in 1919, a hundred years ago.

For those who lived through that era, it feels like yesterday.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed, and a hundred years of loneliness have passed.

"Here are a few love letters written by these two great men many years ago."

As he spoke, Wang Liang took out a few photocopied photos from the drawer, pressed the film, and kept them very well.

[Super: After you left yesterday, you fell asleep hazy, and woke up almost dusk. Dinner is served with porridge and ham. After the meal, read a few Tang poems and eat one orange. Go to bed at 10 o'clock and take two packs of sleeping pills. I woke up at half past five this morning and went to bed again at six o'clock, and at eight o'clock I rinsed my mouth and ate two slices of bread. Sun De and Hu Guangbiao came to see, and they passed by here to Jiading to run a cement factory. Later, Dr. Wang praised the bag and the pain was alleviated. You can go down to the ground in about five or six days, and wait for your woman's birth. I have less hard touches and sleep on my side more easily than before. Although the weather is hot, you can still calm down. I hope you will cherish and kiss you! 】
