953 [Ideal and Reality]
Ever since the German bombing of London, the remote town of Bletchley has become overcrowded.
Because it is not too far from London, it is easily accessible by rail, and it is cheap, and there are no military and industrial facilities that are not easy to bomb, so it is one of the best options for Londoners to escape the war. Between August and October, more than 10,000 people had already arrived in the town, and Zhou Hexuan and his family barely found an empty room in the hotel.
"Sir, you are so lucky that you just moved out two families today." The innkeeper said with a smile.
As soon as he finished saying this, a few more people went downstairs and said that they wanted to check out.
Zhou Hexuan asked curiously, "Where are you going?" ”
The man of the house said, "Go back to London." ”
"Why?" Zhou Hexuan said.
The man said, "I'd rather go back to London and be blown up than be bored here." There is nothing in the town, no cinema, no café, no football matches, no ...... There is not even a decent primary school, and the quality of the teachers here is so poor. ”
Well, the reason is strong, because the town is boring, so everyone chooses to go back to London to be bombed.
Compared with the two, the Chinese people's demand for life is too low, and they are satisfied as long as they have food to eat and can survive.
It's very funny to say, the more than 10,000 Londoners who poured into Bletchley will all run out in less than half a year. Because life in a small town is too LO compared to London, they live very unhappily - how is this like war refugees? It's like a group vacation.
After checking out, the family left with their suitcases and humming a song, rejoicing like tourists at the end of their vacation.
Ma Jue felt quite funny: "These British people are too optimistic." ”
"They haven't seen the cruelty of war yet, after all, the last world war didn't hit Britain itself." Xiao Qian suddenly interjected. He followed Zhou Hexuan all the way, including Zhou Hexuan attending the Danmo Society gathering, and Xiao Qian was also waiting outside, preparing to write a reportage about Zhou Hexuan.
Zhou Hexuan said: "This is not the main reason. ”
Xiao Qian was curious: "What else is the reason?" ”
Zhou Hexuan said: "First, the strong self-confidence brought by the empire on which the sun never sets, although Britain has long since begun to decline, the sacred aura of the British Empire still works for every citizen. Second, since the 20s, the British economy has developed rapidly, and the Labour Party has brought civil rights and welfare, and the British people are full of energy, and they have gotten rid of the basic requirements for food and clothing. ”
Ma Jue said: "But there are still many homeless people in the UK. ”
"That's not the mainstream," Zhou said, "after the end of the last world war, the great powers were undergoing drastic changes. The most obvious thing in Britain is that the Labour Party has formed a government twice, and each time it came to power, it vigorously promoted socialist reforms, which brought a strong sense of cohesion and identity to the middle and lower classes of the British people, and even social welfare became an ideological consensus. Therefore, when the Labour Party formed a government for the second time, although the unemployment rate in Britain was as high as 10%, its public support rate remained high. Had it not been for the economic crisis, which forced the Labour Party to cut welfare policies, the Labour government would not have collapsed at all. ”
Xiao Qian was puzzled: "What does this have to do with war?" ”
Zhou Hexuan explained: "The sense of national identity brought about by socialist reform, this country improves the welfare of the common people, and this welfare becomes a social consensus, then naturally countless citizens will choose to be patriotic." Don't look at the prevalence of pacifism in Britain a few years ago, but if the flames of war really burn to the British mainland, the British will definitely choose to defend their homeland because this country makes them feel like they have a head start. ”
Ma Jue asked, "What about China?" ”
Zhou Hexuan said with a wry smile: "There is only national hatred and family hatred and national cohesion left in China, and most of the people at the bottom are actually unwilling to fight for the country." Even for some ignorant people, the rule of Japan is no different from the rule of the Nationalist Government, and they all live in hardship and hardship. ”
Xiao Qian took out a small notebook and asked, "Mr. Zhou seems to be very dissatisfied with China's economic welfare policy?" ”
"What do you think?" Zhou Hexuan didn't have a good airway.
Xiao Qian continued to ask: "What does Mr. Zhou think of "Five Five Constitutional Grass"? ”
Zhou Hexuan said: "It looks beautiful, but there is no possibility of realizing it at all. ”
"Why?" Xiao Qian was extremely surprised.
Since the all-out war of resistance, Chiang Lao was forced by the terrible domestic situation to start implementing the so-called constitutional reform. In particular, at the Fourth Session of the First Session of the National Council for Political Participation in September last year, various political parties and personages without party affiliation put forward seven motions urging the state government to carry out constitutional amendments and constitutional reforms.
This series of incidents has been unanimously praised by the Chinese government and the public. Some people believe that it represents the spirit of common hatred and solidarity of all parties, and is a great blessing for the country; Some people also believe that China's politics is beginning to unfold and is embarking on a new stage.
However, in the eyes of the discerning person, the "Five-Five-Year Constitution" and its amendments are nothing more than empty buildings.
Ma Jue studied law, and she was also very puzzled: "Yes, sir." I have carefully studied the "Five Five-Five Constitutional Grass", and all the terms are perfect, how can it be completely unrealizable? ”
"Because it's so perfect." Zhou Hexuan said.
Xiao Qian wrote it down in a small notebook and asked, "Is perfection also wrong?" ”
Zhou Hexuan explained: "The core of the Fifth Five-Year Constitution is 'direct civil rights', which is a very noble political ideal, but it may not be effective in operation. Britain and France have a long history of constitutional government, but it has not been possible to achieve direct civil rights until now. Some states in the United States have occasionally adopted direct civil rights, but they have not achieved much success. The first country to exercise direct civil rights was Switzerland, a small country with less than one percent of China's population and less than one-fifth of its administrative regions. Isn't it a big joke that the Republic of China can't even effectively control the townships and towns, and wants to engage in direct civil rights? ”
Ma Jue and Xiao Qian were suddenly silent, they were not stupid, they just didn't think about the bad side.
Zhou Hexuan continued: "The scholars who formulated the "Five-Five Constitution" must also know this fact. But they still chose to do so, nothing more than to split power from the Kuomintang and break the dictatorship of Chang Kaishen. They were so eager and set their goals so high that the constitution lost its relevance. If Chang Kaishen really passed this constitution, it would definitely make a lot of jokes and mess up the existing administrative system. ”
After all, Ma Jue is a doctor of law from the London School of Economics and Political Science, and he was awakened by Zhou Hexuan's words and immediately thought through many questions. "I'm going to write a paper about it," she said. ”
"Don't!" Zhou Hexuan hurriedly stopped.
"Why?" Ma Jue asked.
Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly: "Now the progressives of the whole country have great respect for the "Fifth Five-Year Constitution", if you express opposing opinions, you will inevitably become an accomplice of dictatorship and a sinner of democracy!" ”
Ma Jue was instantly speechless.
Zhou Hexuan sighed: "Let's go, put away your luggage, walk around the town, or don't think about those national events." ”
