It is not only Zhou Hexuan and his party who go to Shandong to do charity. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Xianqing, a special commissioner of the China Jisheng Association, set up temporary shelters in Qingdao and Jinan, and also brought disaster relief funds to Yanzhou and Yizhou to distribute relief.

Shanghai Huang Yilin, Cheng Jingsheng and other 22 people initiated the establishment of the Shanghai Temporary Charity Relief Association to raise funds to help the hard-hit areas in southern Lunan, and also went to the disaster areas with other Salesian organizations to adopt orphans affected by the disaster. In addition, Ji Shenghui of Shanghai sent people to dredge the river in Qufu and dig the river to build embankments to prevent further floods in summer.

Many charitable organizations in Beiping, Tianjin, and even across the country also went to Shandong to relieve the victims with donations.

The Red Cross Society of China, the Red Cross Society, the Youth Association, the Huayang Charity Relief Association, the Wushan Society, the Compassion Society, the Tongshan Bureau and other organizations jointly initiated the establishment of the "Shandong Hunger Prevention Association", and a large number of disaster relief materials and donations flow to Shandong every day.

As early as the beginning of the year, the three eastern provinces made great efforts to provide relief to the victims of the disaster in Shandong. Various institutions and organizations in Harbin have raised a large number of sorghum (red grain), and all government personnel in Harbin, regardless of their positions, have been suspended from pay for five days, and the money has also been used for disaster relief. (Many people here in Harbin came to Guandong in the late Qing Dynasty, and they are helping their fellow villagers in Shandong)

Because Sun Liangcheng, the new chairman of Shandong Province, used to be Feng Yuxiang's old department. So now Feng Yuxiang is also trying to help, not only the officers and men of the Northwest Army spontaneously donated money and materials, Feng Yuxiang also ordered Henan, Shaanxi and other provincial governments to give full assistance once the victims of Shandong are found in the territory.

As the saying goes, when one side is in trouble, all sides support.

China has never lacked the power of justice and charity, and during the Republic of China, it was not all insensitive and cold-eyed spectators.

The disaster in Shandong has touched the hearts of the Chinese people so much, mainly because it is so miserable here. Some places are already empty, and in any wilderness, you can see people dying of starvation.

Zhang Zongchang was able to make Shandong look like this, which is really worthy of being a wonderful flower in the warlord world of the Republic of China. With him in Shandong, the people of other provinces didn't want to donate, for fear that the donated silver would be put into Zhang Zongchang's pocket.

The prestige of the Nationalist Government in Nanjing was obviously much higher, and as soon as the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Shandong, all parts of the country immediately enthusiastically donated money and materials.

Zhou Hexuan and others disembarked in Qingdao, traveled west along the Jiaoji Railway to Jinan, and then took a carriage to Shanghe County. The situation along the way is terrible, and starvation is not an adjective, but a real occurrence.

On the "open-top" carriage, Zhou Hexuan looked at the victims who were hurrying in twos and threes, and asked in surprise: "Why are there more victims near Jinan?" ”

The handlebar sighed: "The little Japanese devil is making trouble." In the past, the victims all ran to Jinan, but now that the little Japanese occupy Jinan City, they will do all kinds of bad things, which is worse than Zhang Zongchang, the demon king of the mixed world. Not to mention the victims at the moment, even the residents in the city have left Jinan with their families. ”

Meng Xiaodong said angrily: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Expedition, why don't you leave Jinan alone?" Let the Japanese behave here. ”

"Ta Kung Pao" reporter Chen Jie'an said with a sarcastic smile: "Looking at the whole of China, which general with troops dares to do something with the Japanese?" They will only be in the nest, and they don't even dare to let out a fart when they meet foreigners. ”

The little boy Meng Ke suddenly got up from the carriage and said coaxingly: "When I grow up, I will become a general and drive all the Japanese out of China!" ”

"Sit down for me!"

As soon as Meng Ke finished speaking, he was pulled back by his mother and beaten indiscriminately with his ass.

The crowd laughed.

At this moment, the handlebar suddenly stopped, and the front was blocked.

Zhou Hexuan jumped out of the car and walked forward, but saw two carriages and three ox carts parked in front of him. The axle of one of the cars was broken, and there were men and women standing on the side of the road, and even a foreigner.

"Hello, do you need help?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

"No, it will be repaired soon," a young man in a suit and leather shoes replied, "Hello, I'm Nie Zhengqing of the Shandong Hunger Prevention Association, and these are our members." The foreigner friend's name was Harrett Aban, and he was a reporter for The New York Times. ”

"I'm Zhou Hexuan of Tianjin Jimin Association, and it's a pleasure to meet you." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile. He did represent the Tianjin Jimin Association, and this time he also brought 2,000 yuan of disaster relief funds from the Jimin Association.

As soon as Zhou Hexuan reported his name, the other party immediately became a sensation, and they all rushed towards him.

"You are Mr. Zhou who wrote "The Rise of Great Powers"?"

"I've read your "Dog Officer", it's so well written!"

"Mr. Zhou, are you also here for disaster relief?"

"Mr. Zhou......"

Even the foreign reporter ran over, warmly shook Zhou Hexuan's hand and said, "Zhou, I have wanted to interview you for a long time!" ”

Harrett Aban is a very famous figure, he has a very high position in the American press, he has worked in many American newspapers, and even achieved the position of editor-in-chief of the newspaper. But he was "tired of the same days", and had a whim to go to the Far East to break into the world.

"Hello, Mr. Aban." Zhou Hexuan said happily that of course he also knew about this American reporter.

In other words, those who are familiar with the history of the Republic of China should have an impression of Harrett Aban.

He is the chief correspondent of the New York Times in China, and has reported on the Guangzhou Revolution, the Northern Expedition, the Northeast Banner, the Central Plains War, the Middle East Road Incident, the Jinan Massacre, the 918 Incident, and the Xi'an Incident...... These major events that happened in the Republic of China were transmitted by him to the "New York Times" and to the global public, and even his reports could influence the political decision-making and diplomatic strategies of various countries.

There were many Western journalists during the Republic of China, but no one could compare with Aban. His later residence was located on the top floor of the Bainaohui Building in Shanghai, where he was surrounded by reporters, assistants and servants, who rode in the latest limousines and were accompanied by bodyguards. The high-level officials of China, Japan, Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and other countries in China all regarded him as a guest.

However, with such a high status and wealth, whenever he encounters a major event, Aban will inevitably go to the scene to interview, and even go to the battlefield to feel the artillery fire.

This guy is a risk-taker, and he can even risk his life for the sake of covering the news.

While the handlebar was being repaired, Harrett Aban sat on the ground without hesitating his image, lit a cigarette and said, "Zhou, you know what? The American publisher who helped you publish "The Rise of Great Powers" was previously my subordinate. He wrote to me and said that if I meet you in China, I must help him do an interview. ”

"What do you want to ask?" Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

"I'm very curious about everything about you." Harrett Aban pulled out his interview book slowly, "Come on, let's get started." ”

The life story that Zhou Hexuan made up, he has repeated it countless times, and he has already been ripe, and now he has repeated it again in front of Aban.

This time, unlike any other time, Harrett Aban's interview was the headline for The New York Times.
