524 [New Year's Dream]

New Year's Day, 1933.

In the new year, all major newspapers and magazines are engaged in activities.

For example, Shanghai's "Star Daily" launched the selection of "movie queens". Hu Die was elected as the "Actress" with more than 20,000 votes, Chen Yumei ranked second, and Ruan Lingyu could only rank third.

It's not that Ruan Lingyu is not famous enough, but she doesn't like to show her face, as long as she doesn't film, she stays at home honestly. Hu Die, on the other hand, loves to socialize and often participates in many public activities, and his exposure rate is much higher than that of Ruan Lingyu.

As for Chen Yumei, well, this is Run Run Shaw's sister-in-law.

After Shao Drunken made Chen Yumei popular, in order to prevent other companies from poaching and save an actor's salary, he married Chen Yumei home to be his aunt's wife.

Chen Yumei is very famous, she has made nearly 30 movies in three years, and she is better at brushing her face on the screen than Hu Die and Ruan Lingyu combined. Poor and tired, she can't even get paid, because she is the boss's wife. But she can't be said to be the proprietress because she is just a little wife, Shao Drunken Man made a good purchase without losing money****** and the "Actress" selection of "Star Daily", the activities of "Oriental Magazine" are much more high-end.

On the 30th anniversary of the founding of Oriental Magazine, a special feature on "New Year's Dreams" was made, and more than 400 letters were sent to well-known people from all walks of life across the country, including Zhou Hexuan. In the preface of the magazine, it was written: "In these dark years, let alone the 30 million people in Northeast China, who have suffered under the guns of imperialism, our entire country and the entire nation have also fallen into a sea of misery...... We curse the present, but we have tomorrow. If the real life of the day is tense and depressing, we can still have at least one or two sweet and comfortable dreams in this long winter night. Dreams are all our sacred rights! ”

Zhou Hexuan got the magazine at noon, and he took a few wives out to the theater, sat in the car and slowly flipped through it.

The dreams of celebrities are varied, Zhou Hexuan just started to look at it and wanted to laugh, and when he looked at it, he wanted to cry. Because those dreams were too simple, and for the Chinese people at that time, they seemed unattainable.

For example, Zhou Gucheng, a professor at Jinan University, dreams that everyone will have the opportunity to sit on the toilet and defecate.

Everyone has the opportunity to sit on the toilet and defecate...... What a great dream!

Ye Shengtao's dream is: every individual has food to eat, every individual has a job, all the food eaten is definitely not anyone's blood, and all the work done will never fill the belly of one or two people.

Foreign Minister Luo Wengan's dream is that military attachΓ©s are not afraid of death, civilian officials are not greedy for money, and they will always be citizens in a peaceful and prosperous world.

There are also many daydreams, such as Xie Bingying's dream: a world without a country, a nation, and no class distinction.

Yu Dafu's dream is: no class, no competition, no material oppression, no one else, and no private property.

There are also many intellectuals, such as Liu Shiying of the Nanjing National Compilation Museum, who said: The fate of China in the future will not be determined by our dreams, but by our actions...... In the future, China's national identity will still be commensurate with the knowledge, ability, and morality of its constituent elements.

Shi Yucun, editor-in-chief of Modern Times, said: I think that the political system has nothing to do with it, and the problem is all about people.

There are even more ideological and indignant ones, such as Xu Tiaofu's dream: there will be no Chinese studies, traditional Chinese medicine, and national arts in China in the future...... Terms such as national shame and national disaster.

Lin Yutang seems to have gone crazy with humor from George Bernard Shaw for a while, and his dream is listed last, with only four words: I don't dream.

When Zhou Hexuan expounded his dream, he only said one sentence: This bad era is a dream, I just hope to wake up soon, China should be a prosperous, rich, strong, great, and proud country.

Perhaps, as said in the preface of "Oriental Magazine", the Chinese people at this time were nervous and depressed during the day, and only had one or two sweet and comfortable dreams at night. When this article, which recorded the dreams of hundreds of celebrities, was issued, it immediately aroused the spiritual resonance of countless people, and the "Oriental Magazine" on New Year's Day was directly sold out.

At the end of this call for papers, Zhou Hexuan's article "I Have a Dream" was published again: "I have a dream. I dream that one day, every province, every prefecture and every county and every village in China will be transformed into a civilized world full of high-rise buildings and factories...... Our country is no longer the object of ridicule, and there is no longer a need to sign humiliating contracts. Any overseas Chinese can straighten their waists and shout: I am Chinese! β€œ

I don't know how many readers, thinking of the dark reality, burst into tears.

Zhou Hexuan put down the magazine in his hand and said to himself with a wry smile: "Everyone can do dreams, and I don't know how many people will die for these beautiful dreams." ”

Zhou Hexuan soon met a dying man!

When he drove to the theater, Yang Xingfo shouted from afar: "Mr. Zhou, I have admired the name for a long time!" Contemptible Yang Quan. ”

"Brother Hongfu, it's a good luck!" Zhou Hexuan shook hands warmly and said, "I didn't expect Brother Hongfu to come to cheer today." ”

Yang Xingfo said with a smile: "Mr. Shizhi wrote to me, saying that Mrs. Zun was going to take the stage on New Year's Day, so I deliberately set off in advance to Tianjin to see the demeanor of the Winter Emperor." ”

Zhou Hexuan hurriedly introduced Zhang Leyi, Meng Xiaodong and Vivien Li, as for Wanrong and Liao Yaquan, they have reached their due date and may have children at any time, so they did not come to watch Meng Xiaodong's performance today.

There were many aunts and wives in the Republic of China, Yang Xingfo was not surprised, and shook hands with the three daughters with a smile.

Everyone walked into the theater together, and Meng Xiaodong went directly to the backstage to prepare.

Yang Xingfo said in a low voice: "Brother Mingcheng, the preparations in the north are going well, right?" ”

"I wrote more than 50 letters, about 30 of which said I would like to join, and more than 10 expressed my support. ”

"That's good, that's good," Yang Xingfo said happily, "plus Hu Shizhi invited more than 20 people, the scale of the Beiping branch is very large!" ”

Zhou Hexuan saw his excited appearance and couldn't help but remind: "Brother Hongfu, you have been running for democracy and constitutionalism many times, but you have to beware of the yin from Nanjing." ”

Yang Xingfo sneered disdainfully: "Lao Jiang will only assassinate him, he will kill if he wants to, and if I die, someone else will stand up." ”

"Alas!" Zhou Hexuan sighed helplessly.

The man in front of him is dead!

Yang Xingfo was born in the League, served as Sun Yat-sen's secretary in his early years, and had frequent contact with the Communist Party in these years, and actively rescued arrested Communist Party members. His organizational and management skills are super strong, and the Civil Rights League relies on him to run in many ways, unlike Hu Shi, who likes to talk about cannons, Yang Xingfo is a doer.

Therefore, Yang Xingfo must die, and as long as he dies, the newly formed Chinese Civil Rights Protection League will be paralyzed. No matter how much the rest of the people call and shout, Chang Kaishen can ignore it, and in terms of threats from the authorities, 100 Hu Shi is not as good as 1 Yang Xingfo.

Zhou Hexuan looked at Yang Xingfo, who completely disregarded his life and death, and suddenly felt infinite emotion. Perhaps it is precisely because China has countless people with lofty ideals who do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the country that China has dreams to speak of.
