Subtitle of this chapter: There are celebrities in talking and laughing, and the group photo is not in vain.

"Before joining the revolution, I thought my brother Yuan Yanqian was a great genius who was not bound by secular principles. After arriving in the liberated areas, there were criticisms of him, and he was disgusted. 'Here the sensitive word' once said to me: 'Yuan Hongjian wants to deny imperialism at all.' I was a little unimpressed. After studying the history of social development, my thinking changed slightly. With the help of my comrades, I understood that I was still on the reactionary bourgeois side on this issue. Combined with the study of the history of social development, the country and the revolution, and the brief history of the Chinese revolution, as well as the writings of Comrade "sensitive words here", and the results of my own ideological struggle, I realized ......

"My brother was born into a family of declining bureaucrats and gentry, and he was also enlightened by my father, and later entered Hujiang University in Shanghai, and in 1917 he went to the United States. The material and spiritual civilization of the United States enabled a young man from a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society to be rapidly subjugated, and his long-term educational environment gradually shifted his position to the bourgeoisie. The articles he wrote abroad, such as "Socialism", became famous internationally at the time. His "A Group of Wives and Concubines" was in line with the requirements of the people at that time. He played a certain progressive role in opposing dead literature, old rituals, and innovative ideas......"

Only by this time he had already begun to go astray, not only into the arms of bourgeois political economy, but also as an advocate of US imperialism internationally. In literature, he also put forward the 'Inboism' or 'Funism', which means that the Inubius is the goal and means of literary works. At this time, Hu Shizhi also advocated Ibsenism in China. The two of them sang together at home and abroad, misleading many young intellectuals at that time, including myself......" (note 1)

"During World War II, the Chiang Gang government, which almost lost Chongqing, was threatened by the Japanese army and had to turn to the United States for help. He accepted a special appointment from the U.S. government to return to China to serve the bourgeoisie, and became a senior adviser to the American advisory group. In fact, it was the governor of the Chinese colony who upheld the will of the Americans......"

At that time, even the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Chiang Gang government could not stand his arrogance, and could even be said to be tyrannical. Once, he happened to meet Miss Kong Er's chartered plane landing at the airport and found that she was smuggling vital supplies. So he ordered the American soldiers to confiscate all the goods on the plane, kill all the pet dogs on the plane, give them to the Chinese garrison soldiers at the airport to add vegetables, and also arrested Miss Kong Er herself in the Sino-US Cooperation Institute......

"It wasn't until 'sensitive words here' came forward in person that he released people. However, Miss Kong Er had some unspeakable things happen in the Sino-US Cooperation Institute. Therefore, Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi jointly challenged my brother at a government meeting, asking for an explanation, but he roared in front of the public, saying, "Your aunts of the Song family can sleep with Americans, why can't your niece of the Kong family?" It is said that 'sensitive words here' vomited blood in public when they heard this......"

However, his move was not to curb the smuggling activities of the Chiang Gang government, because he himself was the biggest smuggler at the time, and in order to obtain his personal wealth, he not only sold American military aid to us, but also sold it to the Japanese Marines in Southeast Asia for profit. At that time, the brother in my heart who had secretly supported me on the revolutionary road was already dead......"

——Excerpt from Yuan Yanmu's "Criticism of My Brother Yuan Yanqi"

Mr. Dresser nodded in approval, "Because listening is the end and the means of every book...... Mr. Yuan, I have to say that this is very much because of the listening opinion. ”

Ms. Kaiser said, "Mr. Yuan, is this your creative pursuit?" Well, your words that don't talk about literature are indeed very important to listen to. ”

"Hahaha......" Mr. Fitzgerald also laughed, "I really understand when Ms. Cather says this, no wonder I also like Mr. Yuan very much." ”

Only Mr. T.S. Eliot asked thoughtfully, "Mr. Yuan, how do you think the work can be listened to?" ”

"Is this ......?"

Yuan Yanqian looked up at the table clock and frowned slightly, he still has a second wave of guests today. If you want to pretend to be forced to do this, you have to talk about it at length, so the time is a little tight.

So he snorted and said, "Mr. Eliot is stumped on me, and if I understand this problem thoroughly, I will not study political economy, but become a professor of literature." ”

"That's right, guys." He changed his words and said, "You're all going home for Christmas, aren't you?" ”

With the exception of himself and Mr. Fitzgerald, no one else in the room was a New York native, Mr. Dresser was a Wisconsin, Ms. Cather was a Nebraskan, Mr. Crafts was a Rhode Islander, and Mr. T.S. Eliot was a Missouri. Naturally, they want to go back to their own homes.

"I have a Christmas present for everyone. Ann, come with me to get the present. ”

With that, he walked into the storage room with his secretary and brought out the gifts he had prepared a long time ago...... Mahjong tiles and five plus skins.

Seeing Master Yuan so polite, everyone stood up very politely. Mr. Dresser was the first to say, "Mr. Yuan, how embarrassing is this. We don't have any gifts. ”

"You're welcome, I've prepared your gifts for you!" Saying that, Yuan Yanqian entered the study and happily took out a few books.

Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be their own works.

"Ladies and gentlemen, sign your book, and it will be a Christmas present from you!"

"This ......," everyone looked at each other a little embarrassed, but at last Monsieur Dreser nodded, "in that case, we will listen to you." ”

These famous or future famous writers picked up their works and wrote their own greetings and autographs.

"Mr. Yuan, please accept ......"

"Wait, wait a minute." Yuan Yanqian turned her head to Miss Ainuka again and asked, "Ann, is the camera machine used?" ”

The little dragon girl held a hammer camera in one hand and a bulky magnesium lamp in the other, and said with difficulty: "Don't worry, Emma has taught me." ”

“VERY GOOD.”

Master Yuan, who didn't care about pity for the fragrance and jade, nodded, these signed books and these photos will be historical relics in the future. I am a person who wants to be a master, why is there a lack of these historical materials?

In the future, when I write my own memoirs, these are all evidence; In the future, when others make their own documentaries, this is all material.

"Let's come one by one, and then we'll have a group photo at the end." He commanded, "Monsieur Dresser, read ...... with me."

"CHEESE!"

Note 1: Ibsenism is somewhat similar to the hybrid of early utopian socialism and democracy, pursuing utopian morality. In terms of literary creation, it shows the brilliance of positive humanitarian ideals and a strong edge of social criticism.
