"What's wrong with China? No one told me the answer, I had to look for it in books. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"After the death of the missionary who took me in, I wandered all over the United States. Because of the Chinese Exclusion Act, it was difficult for me to find a serious job. Normally, I lived by petty theft, and I used to sell old porcelain as antiques to the Yankees to cheat me out of money, and later disguised myself as Japanese to submit articles to magazines and newspapers, barely earning some money. ”

"I've been in history class at Harvard, and I've been studying politics and economics at Princeton. I often pretend to be a Japanese or Chinese student, and they are polite to international students, but I am very disgusted with Chinese workers stranded in the United States. By the way, I also wrote a thesis for a master's degree at Harvard, and I made $200 that time. ”

The students silently looked at the man on the stage who was laughing freely, it was their new headmaster, a homeless man, a fraudster, and a thief. But they can't feel a sense of hatred for him, more sympathy and pity, even admiration.

Not to mention anything else, Zhou Hexuan is self-taught by auditing, and he can actually write a graduation thesis for a Harvard master's degree, and he has real talent in his stomach.

Zhou Hexuan's story continues: "Later, I smuggled into Europe, and found that it was much easier to mix there than the United States. Although they still discriminate against Chinese, it is only narrow prejudice, at least it does not deprive Chinese of their right to work. The French are romantic and naïve, the British are gentlemanly and arrogant, the Germans are rigorous and rigid, and the Russians are blunt and rude...... Every nation has its own characteristics, and if you keep an eye on it, you will find many interesting things. Of course, I'm more concerned with libraries around the world, painstakingly sneaking in and peeking at forgotten historical materials. I want to understand these countries, why they can become great powers, and why we, China, are weak and incompetent? ”

"What is the state? It is nothing more than land, people, culture and government. ”

"Since the late Qing Dynasty, China's land has been largely lost, the Chinese people are generally ignorant and ignorant, China's culture is outdated and backward, and as for the Chinese government, hehe, it cannot be described."

Zhou Hexuan went around in a big circle, and finally entered the topic: "I know, you also understand. China's current situation makes people anxious in their eyes, which is why you are making a student movement and engaging in a student movement, hoping to contribute to China's rejuvenation. I understand this, but I don't advocate violence. For example, last year, the house of the head of education, as well as the "Morning Post" newspaper building, were burned down, which has become a violation of the law and the crime. What is it that you advocate for freedom of speech and use violence to deprive others of their freedom of speech? Do you slap yourself in the face? ”

The students didn't know how to refute it, because last year's march was a bit excessive.

Moreover, many of the most active revolutionaries among the students had already run away by this time, and most of those present were relatively peaceful, and would not explode at the slightest spark.

Zhou Hexuan said: "In the eyes of many people, Peking University is a mess, and I am willing to take over this mess." I hope that everyone can study with peace of mind, because school is a place to learn knowledge after all. If he really wants to make a revolution, I support him to go to the south, and I can provide assistance if the travel fee is not enough. During my tenure as president, I was not allowed to openly shout revolutionary slogans, openly propagate revolutionary ideas, or openly form revolutionary associations, and violators were immediately expelled! If you really don't like me as a principal, you can protest to the Ministry of Education, and if the number of protesters exceeds 100, I will immediately take the blame and resign. That's all I have to say, and you'll see you again. ”

After Zhou Hexuan finished speaking, he left, without stopping for a moment, and went straight to the gate of Peking University.

The teachers and students were collectively in a state of confusion, not knowing what to say about the principal. There are a lot of weirdos in Peking University, and everyone shouldn't have seen it for a long time, and now it seems that their new president is also a weirdo.

Dare to claim to be the lackeys of reactionary warlords in front of the teachers and students of the most progressive universities in the country, and if someone else else is sprayed with blood. It is even possible that in the middle of the sentence, he will be dragged off the stage by the angry students.

Zhong Guan summoned several student representatives and whispered for a while, and those students immediately ran excitedly to deliver the news.

On the way to the classroom, the students were still discussing Zhou Hexuan's speech just now.

A student said angrily: "It's really hateful, you don't let us shout progressive slogans and propagate progressive ideas, is this still Peking University, which is free and inclusive?" Zhou Hexuan had just taken office, and he ruined the school spirit of Peking University. ”

"Principal Zhou also has difficulties," another student helped to argue, "he is actually progressive in his thinking, but he is subject to the warlords, so he has to do so, otherwise he can only continue to suspend classes." ”

"If classes are suspended, classes will be suspended, and this kind of university that imprisons freedom will not be accepted." The previous student said.

At this moment, the student representative who was in charge of helping Zhong Guanguan to spread the word came and whispered, "Everyone be quiet, please listen to me." Principal Zhou's words just now were a bitter ploy, he explicitly forbade us to set up a progressive club, but it was still okay to discuss it in private, and we only needed to change the name. For example, to propagate redism, we can establish agricultural societies and industrial societies, and everything will turn from light to dark. In addition, in order to paralyze the reactionary warlords, we must scold President Zhou. The harder he scolds, the safer he is, and it is best to write an article in the school magazine to scold. ”

The group of students listened in disbelief, but quickly came back to their senses.

"I'll just say that Mr. Zhou is a good person, and if he can write works like "The Rise of a Great Power" and "The Goddess", how can he be willing to be a lackey of a reactionary warlord?"

"yes, and "Generation" and "Answer". The night gave me black eyes, but I used him to find the light, which is to teach us to grope our way forward in the darkness! ”

Speaking of which, Principal Zhou is also from a bitter background. He wandered abroad since he was a child, and he did not know how much humiliation and suffering he suffered, and even did not hesitate to be a thief and a liar in order to make a living. In this kind of growth environment, he was still self-taught and wrote the thought-provoking "The Rise of Great Powers", what a powerful heart! ”

"I'm going to write an article to scold Principal Zhou, scold hard!"

"Let's go together, everyone protects Principal Zhou together, and lets go of the scolding together."

“……”

This is all a strategy discussed by Zhou Hexuan and Zhong Guanguan, first telling his own experience to win the sympathy and understanding of the students, and then throwing out reactionary remarks to arouse the rebellious psychology of the students, and then explaining the facts to create a glorious image of bearing the burden of humiliation.

In this way, the students will really regard Zhou Hexuan as their own person, and accept and support him as the principal in their hearts.

As for leaks, Zhou Hexuan is not afraid at all, he can be said to be the students directing and acting on their own, hiding from him to engage in those progressive activities. As long as he didn't participate in person, Zhang Zuolin would not hold up the butcher's knife, and he could resign and apologize when the time came.

From the end of 1926 to the middle of 1928, for a whole year and a half, students took pleasure in scolding the principal.

At first, it was scolded in the school magazine, and soon it developed into scolding in the social newspaper. And the scolding is very artistic, without a single dirty word throughout the article, but Zhou Hexuan is portrayed as a big villain with sores on the soles of his feet and pus on the top of his head.

Even a poetry club in the school also held a "Scolding the Principal Poetry Contest", a beautiful new scolding poem, full of students' heart to defend the principal.

Secretly, whenever the students mention President Zhou, they are all respectful, thinking that Zhou Hexuan is protecting Peking University with infamy.

Zhou Hexuan doesn't care about this, he knows when Zhang Zuolin will be finished. At that time, countless students naturally stood up to correct his name and reveal the truth to the world, and he took the opportunity to resign as the principal, and a great image of accepting orders in danger, enduring humiliation, and retiring after success was born.
