After a hangover, Cheng Qi rejoined himself in the great cause of fighting for the freedom of the people of Daliao. The resumption of the newspaper is also in full swing. A senior, who did not want to be named, generously donated a sum of money to them so that they could sign an agreement with the typesetting factory.

Seeing that the workers were still using lead typesetting, Cheng Qi thought that it would be nice if there was a laser phototypesetting system...... But this can only be imagined. After all, even electrification is still being explored in the laboratory.

After a night of discussion, it was decided to convene the second Global Congress on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 - according to the statistics of the Minister of Personnel Hua Fangfu, five of the thirteen delegates attending the first "Global Congress" were from the Great Liao Empire, and the rest were citizens of the Song State. The members of the upcoming second congress will be student representatives from six or seven more countries, including the Xia Kingdom, the Korean Kingdom, the Japanese Shogunate, and the South China Sea United States.

"The situation of the people's cause is very good, not a small good." Guo Shan happily concluded, and Huang Yang also reported a good news to everyone: "Comrades, friends. Our friends Ma Zhan and Yuan Xue in Huainan sent a letter! ”

"What did they say?" Cheng Qi got up from behind his desk, he was worried about writing something for "The Truth".

"Friends, comrades, glad you have returned from a dangerous place. We would like to report to you on the development of the workers' movement in Huainan......"

Ma Zhan and Yuan Xue took the mode of separate actions in Huainan, Yuan Xue took the route of the women's liberation movement, she started the street movement to be handy, and soon pulled up a women's army, united many lower-class women, especially won many maids from the families of high-ranking officials and dignitaries to their side, and those rich old men discussed something, and she could know it immediately

Not only that, under Yuan Xue's active activities, there are no so-called dust women in several state capitals in Huainan, and the former Qinlou Chu Pavilion has been seized by the government - those sisters who have lost their footing were united by Yuan Xue and bravely stood up to criticize the bustard and the pimp, which was spread as a good story in Lianghuai for a while.

What Ma Zhan did was even more dangerous, he first got along with the unloading workers at the train station, and after gaining their trust, he was entrusted by them to go to the canal to mediate a dispute with the Cao Gang.

"The Cao Gang is a gang organization with a long history, with a certain underworld nature, but at the same time, we can't ignore that the vast majority of the awesome lower-class gangs are actually poor manual workers. They formed an organization with the original intention of uniting and helping themselves. It's just that the leadership of the upper echelons has been stolen by ruffians, bullies and bad elements, and has become the dark side of society. ”

After analyzing the organizational structure and composition of the Cao Gang, Ma Zhan put forward the slogan "Unite the Poor and Rely on the Laborers", and through education and propaganda, the Cao Gang workers realized that they were all coolies, oppressed and oppressed by the big bourgeoisie and upper class gang members, just like the railway workers. Now that the railway workers had united and expelled the bullies who had occupied the railway station, the masses of the Cao Gang had begun a spontaneous struggle.

"Now, through a multi-pronged approach – we are purging the bastions of gang power node by node by means of organizing strikes, sit-ins, marches and court debates and other legal means of struggle – on the one hand we insist on uniting the greatest number of workers, seeking common ground while reserving differences, helping each other and loving each other, and on the other hand persisting in the criticism and struggle against the upper strata, and by organizing strikes, sit-ins, marches, and court debates."

Despite the good picture, Majan remains cautious about the prospects: "But the influence of the gang members will not disappear yet, they have been here for five or six hundred years, many of the workers still have the idea of taking turns to sit in the village, and among some of the workers there are signs of the idea of happiness, and if we do not pay attention to these small dynamics, then in a few months the laborers will find that they have driven away a few old bullies and replaced them with new ones to continue riding on their heads." Therefore, we feel compelled to explain an important issue to the delegates to the forthcoming Second Plenary Session -- our issue is not simply to change the dynasty, but to completely eradicate all oppression and eliminate the possibility of the existence of any kind of privileged stratum and privileged ideology. Only when this ideal is realized can our goal of transforming society be accomplished. ”

When Huang Yang read this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "That's it!" The ideal of Datongism will surely be realized! Let's use such a letter as a reissue. ”

Cheng Qi's heart couldn't be calm, and he said: "Since that's the case, then I'll write an editor's note for it." I've already thought about it, and it's called the "Manifesto of Cosmopolitanism."

"A ghost, a ghost of the Datong world, roams the land of China. In order to encircle and suppress this ghost, all the reactionary forces were united—the Japanese generals, the secret agents of the Liao State, the royalists of Dali, and the Donglin Party of the Song State, all tremblingly united. ”

"Now, within the empire in the north, the republicans who were most feared by the imperial court were given the title of cosmopolitans, and yes, no cosmopolitan could tolerate the existence of emperors, nobles, or other privileged persons. Never before have the Romanitans been so willing today to openly state their views and aims to the whole world and to pierce all the invented or distorted claims of the opposition with this public manifesto! ”

Soon, on the major campuses in Bianjing, this fiery declaration began to circulate. Of course, hostility and criticism also came from different corners.

"[The Declaration] is full of denigrations of the system of private property, and history has shown that the absence of a clear system of private property is the root of all evil. Only when private property is protected can everyone make the best use of their strengths, and create wealth ......" (from a supplement review in Bianjing Reading Weekly)

The ignorant babbling of a group of young people is nothing more than a contemporary response to Mozi's utopia. The so-called ideal of great harmony is very beautiful, but considering the selfish nature of human beings, it seems so pale. (Statement by the Governor of the Lee Kui Research Society at the University of Tokyo)

……

But at the same time, they also received a lot of enthusiastic responses, which gave them full confidence. On a warm afternoon, a horse-drawn carriage stopped at the gate of the small courtyard where Cheng Qi and Huang Yang lived together — a signboard for the editorial office of the newspaper was now hung in front of the courtyard.
