With the change of his impression of Gandhi, Zhou Hexuan also found some Gandhi articles to read, which surprised him and made him laugh and cry.

Gandhi's public writings and remarks were full of Marxist terms, and their substance was very different from the Marxist doctrine of violence.

Gandhi, for example, put it this way: "Class war is not suited to the essential character of India, which is capable of developing a broad form of communism based on the fundamental rights of all and equality and justice." What this means is that the class struggle is not in line with India's national conditions, but it can lead to a communist road with Indian characteristics.

Sound familiar?

Therefore, in India's modern political and literary practice, "Gandhiism" and "Marxism" are often combined. Most Indian writers tend to move from Gandhism to Marxism, or from Marxism to Gandhiism.

Gandhiism, in fact, is the product of the fusion of Marxism and the Indian national liberation movement, but it has not flown the banner of Marxism.

Later, Palt Chatterjee, an Indian expert on "common people", put it more bluntly, arguing that Gandhi borrowed Marxism to mobilize the lower castes and untouchables, and used these lower common people as revolutionary tools. The untouchables and the lower castes were merely talking instruments in Gandhi's eyes, and Gandhi never thought of fighting for actual power for the untouchables.

Zhou Hexuan read Gandhi's articles for several days in a row, and almost understood it, and his impression of Gandhi was reversed again. Not contempt, not respect, but indifference.

Chang Kaishen is still meeting with Indian progressives one after another, and he also asked his secretary to write a "Letter to the Indian People", which was published by Soong Meiling on the local radio. The article said that the people of China and India share the same fate, so they should fight side by side. It is hoped that Britain will not wait for any demand from the Indian people and give the Indian people real political power as soon as possible, so that they can exert their infinite spiritual and material might.

Chiang's "Letter to the People of India" won unanimous praise from the Indians, and Nehru commented that it was a great event of historical significance, symbolizing the friendship and future comradeship between the two great nations of China and India.

The British colonial authorities were furious, forbidding Chang Kaishen to meet with Indian progressives again, and urging Chang Kaishen to return to China as soon as possible.

Kolkata, Inn.

Chang Kaishen had already set a date for returning to China, and he walked to Zhou Hexuan's room and said, "Mingcheng has been studying Gandhi's articles for the past few days, and what results have been achieved? ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "Dissecting all the good appearances, the reality is always dirty and cruel. ”

"How?" Chang Kaishen asked.

Zhou Hexuan said: "Gandhi, as well as other progressives in India, opened their mouths and closed their mouths are the exclusive vocabulary of Marxism. ”

Chang Kaishen was surprised: "Could it be that they are all communist believers?" ”

Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said, "Hypocrite." ”

Chang Kaishen wondered: "Communism still has false believers? ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "After my research in the past few days, I have discovered the essence of the Indian national liberation movement. ”

Chang Kaishen said: "What essence? ”

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "The so-called Indian national liberation movement is essentially a movement of the bourgeoisie to use a variant of Marxism to induce the proletariat to resist colonialism. The Indian bourgeoisie had a certain revolt, but weakness prevailed, and they were afraid of a bloody revolution. Therefore, the bourgeoisie uses Marxism to mobilize the mood of the proletariat, uses the proletariat as a gunman, and stands behind it to enjoy the fruits of the revolution. The Indian proletariat faced too much oppression, and the British colonial government was not a single goal, so the proletariat's spirit of resistance could not be fully mobilized, let alone a revolution like that of the Soviet Union. It's a complete farce! Without a major shift in the international situation, the liberation movement of the Indians could never have been realized. ”

Chang Kaishen digested it for a while, and asked Zhou Hexuan to explain part of the content in detail, as for thoroughly understanding it. He lamented: "The revolution still has to rely on itself, and we cannot hope for imperialist sympathy." We Chinese are different, born with a revolutionary spirit, from the first premier (Sun Yat-sen) to the Northern Expedition Revolution, successively overthrew the tyrannical rule of the Qing government and the Beiyang government, and finally established a truly democratic and progressive Republic of China. ”

Zhou Hexuan pursed his lips and smiled: "That's true." ”

"I heard that Cheng Cheng has a new work to publish?" Chang Kaishen asked.

Zhou Hexuan nodded and said, "It was written a few years ago, and it has been proofread and sorted out in China, the United Kingdom and the United States, and it will be published soon." I've been in touch with the Indian Press for the past few days, and they're willing to publish it, and it will be printed as soon as next month. ”

Chang Kaishen smiled: "Then I must read it." ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "It's just a fairy tale. ”

At the beginning, Zhou Hexuan copied "The Little Prince" just to tell stories to children. Now it had to be published, because if the book was not completed as soon as possible, the original author would have started writing it in a few months - "The Little Prince" was written in July 1942, completed in October, and officially published in early 1943.

At first glance, "The Little Prince" is just a fairy tale written for adults, but for the French, there are too many deep meanings in it. Foxes, roses, street lamps...... All kinds of things have meanings, and what really expresses them is patriotism.

This is not an over-interpretation, but rather a way in which a Frenchman was forced to write during the German occupation of France.

The original author, a French pilot, fled to Charles de Gaulle's government-in-exile the year after The Little Prince was published, and died on a flight mission in 1943.

The French can fully understand the patriotism of "The Little Prince", and the French government has even put it into its own currency. In the past, the 50 francs were printed with the portrait of the author of "The Little Prince", and "The Little Prince and His Star" were also printed. The little prince in the book represents patriots, and imagery such as roses and stars all refer to ravaged and fallen France.

On February 21, the half-month-long visit to India ended, and Chang Kaishen took everyone back to China by special plane.

Anald, vice chairman of the Indian Progressive Writers Association, also went with him, claiming that he was going to China for a friendly exchange visit, and Lao Chiang warmly welcomed him. At this time, more than seventy percent of the Chinese "Federation of Literary and Art Circles" were communists or pro-communist personages, and Annard would definitely be deeply influenced by communism.

If Anad could go to another Zhou mansion in Chongqing, it would be understandable that he would have become an Indian Maoist.

Just as Zhou Hexuan and his family were returning to China, "The Little Prince" was published in China, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and attracted widespread attention and discussion, and readers gave countless different interpretations.

At the beginning, Chinese readers' criticism and praise for "The Little Prince" were divided evenly.
