604 [Forbidden Song]
Nanjing, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Mr. Wang Zhaoming, President of the Executive Yuan, is giving a speech on the theme of "Broken Households and Nouveau Riche". He pressed the chairman's table with one hand, raised his index finger with the other, and said gracefully:
"In recent months, a serious question has arisen in the domestic intellectual circles: why has China declined to such a point...... This problem naturally arises because of the distress of the national disaster, because of the distress of the national crisis, and then the search for a way to save the national crisis......
Some people say that the Chinese nation has lost its self-confidence, forgotten that it has a culture of more than 4,000 years, and is arrogant and incapable of raising its courage at all...... Another part of the people said that this is the lack of introspection of the Chinese nation, because China's 4,000-year-old culture is really inferior to that of Europe, and the Chinese nation should reflect on it thoroughly...... and in the recent issues of the Independent Review, Mr. Hu Shizhi said this point most painfully. ”
Wang Zhaoming glanced at the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and saw that everyone was listening attentively, and he continued: "Compared with the ancient European culture, ancient Chinese culture has its own characteristics. Or is it low? This is a question that we do not want to discuss for those who study the history of ancient cultures. But China has its own culture, and there is no doubt about it. I don't want to be on a par with a cultured country in Europe, only a country that doesn't have its own culture, like Japan......"
After repeated comparisons, Wang Zhaoming came to a conclusion, that is: China is a broken household, and Japan is an upstart!
Then, Wang Zhaoming extended it to the point that China, an upstart, still lives in the glory of his ancestors and has no fighting spirit to work hard. Therefore, whenever there is a crisis for survival, he still holds the concept of obeying the destiny of heaven, is lazy, and is not ashamed. Therefore, a child who has broken down is far less energetic than a self-made man - the Chinese are not as combative as the Japanese.
After using countless examples to prove his point, Wang Zhaoming said the last paragraph: "You can start from scratch, why can't you get up in the middle of it?" As long as you get rid of the psychology of pride, compare clearly, work hard to do it, and make a modern country, this is the only way to save the world now, and carry forward the ancestral civilization, and this is also solved! ”
"Bang bang bang!"
The audience applauded, and the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs collectively stood up and slapped for five minutes.
This speech is very positive, and it is a warning to the people to abandon the concept of the Heavenly Empire, accept advanced ideas and things, and strive to make the country strong. As for the content of this crooked speech, such as the infinite admiration for Japan and Germany, it was ignored by everyone, or rather, it was recognized by everyone.
Wang Zhaoming stepped down with a smile, and Foreign Minister Zhang Qun immediately greeted him and said with a smile: "President Wang, the ministry has prepared a banquet, please be sure to enjoy it." ”
"No need, now that the national crisis is at hand, those of us who are officials should set an example and practice frugality." Wang Zhaoming said righteously.
Zhang Qun hurriedly patted his ass: "It's still Dean Wang's high realm!" ”
Zhang Qun is Chang Kaishen's person, Wang Zhaoming doesn't want to offend, but he doesn't want to get too close. He said a few words of earnest advice, asked Zhang Qun to do a good job in the diplomatic work of the Republic of China, and then took people back home.
A car carrying Wang Zhaoming out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was broadcasting news on the open-air radio on the street. Suddenly, I only heard the announcer say: "The following song is "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" written and sung by the famous scholar Mr. Zhou Hexuan himself......
Wang Zhaoming didn't care about it at first, but when he heard the lyrics such as "Bandits have always invaded and will eventually die", "How can we let the land be trampled on again, and everyone will take up the mission", he immediately changed color and said angrily: "What did Xu En do? The Central Radio actually broadcasts this kind of song, which will cause diplomatic disputes! Turn around and go to the radio! ”
The pedestrians on the road stopped to listen, and many of them were so excited that they burst into tears after listening to the song.
"The Great Wall will never fall, and the Yellow River is surging. That's a well-written lyric! ”
"Mr. Zhou is worthy of being a great poet, and he writes songs so heroically."
"It's a pity that the Great Wall War of Resistance was lost, alas!"
"Sigh what? Although the Great Wall War of Resistance was lost, we have 40,000 compatriots in China, and the Japanese devils dare to fight him, and one person drowns him with a mouthful of spit! ”
"Well said, as long as Little Japan dares to come, Baojiao will not come back."
"This song is so good, where can I sell a record?"
"Didn't you listen to the nightingale (announcer Liu Junying, beautiful name Nightingale) say, it's a record of EMI, which is sold in department stores."
"Hey, I'm going to buy one, this song sounds exciting."
“……”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Central Radio Station of the Nanjing Nationalist Government were both located in the Gulou District of Nanjing. In just a few minutes, Wang Zhaoming came to the radio station by car, he walked in angrily, and asked, "What about you Director Xu?" Let him come out and see me! ”
Director Xu is Xu Enzeng, the director of the Central Radio Station, and can also be called the director.
When a section chief in the station heard that Wang Zhaoming was coming, he hurriedly ran to greet him, and said stubbornly: "Dean Wang, Director Xu is not here, do you have any instructions?" ”
"Not in the stage? Well, bastard! Wang Zhaoming said angrily.
The section chief smiled and said, "Director Xu is indeed not here, if you have something, tell me." ”
Wang Zhaoming really didn't dare to do anything to Xu Enzeng, because Xu Enzeng was from the CC department and was Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu's confidant. Xu Enzeng, who was not only the director of the Central Broadcasting Station, but also the head of the General Affairs Section and the Investigation Section of the Organization Department of the Kuomintang Central Committee, once induced Gu Shunzhang to defect and almost uprooted the CCP Central Committee in Shanghai.
How so?
When the military command is established next year, Xu Enzeng's status is even above Dai Li, the former is the director of the first division, and the latter is the director of the second division. Later, with the Central Unification, Xu Enzeng even became the head of the Central Unification and the Military Unification Bureau. Even when Chang Kaishen wanted to give orders to the Central Unification and the Military Unification, the document only wrote the words "Enzeng, Deputy Director Xu of the Central Unification Bureau", and he had to give Xu Enzeng personal instructions before taking action.
It was not until 1945 that Xu Enzeng completely lost power, and he was in charge of the secret front of the Kuomintang (mainly the Central Unification side) for 15 years.
is such a confidant who is valued by Lao Jiang, Wang Zhaoming really doesn't dare to provoke. He looked at the section chief angrily and asked, "What is the song you played just now, what is it called "The Great Wall Will Never Fall", and who approved your playing?" ”
"Yes...... It's Deputy Director Wu. The clerk replied apprehensively.
"Deputy Director Wu? Hehe, Wu Dao! I know this person," Wang Zhaoming rebuked sharply, "You listen to me, this song is a banned song, it is easy to cause international disputes, and it is not allowed to be played in the future!" ”
The clerk was dumbfounded and said, "Forbidden songs? But I can't help it, Bandai Records sent it, and their boss is British. ”
Wang Zhaoming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "I don't care about anything else, anyway, the Central Radio Station is not allowed to play!" ”
