Chapter Ninety-Three: Practice Tests the Truth

【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.

Audrey chatted with a group of ladies for a long time in the afternoon, and each family brought one or two girls about her age to accompany her, received a lot of gifts, and met a lot of new friends.

Seeing Zhou Nan come back, everyone said goodbye one by one, leaving the couple to prepare for it, and then went to the banquet.

It was obvious that Audrey was not used to being the center of attention, and she struggled to get used to it, but it also made her a little tired.

Zhou Nan intimately let her lie on the bed for a while, and also helped her massage for a while, so that she could quickly recover a little spirit.

Waiting for Etinny to inform him, he took Audrey with him to the banquet hall.

The people who were able to come to the dinner were either rich or noble, and many of them were not Indonesian Chinese, but came from Malaysia and Siam.

Cai Lao presided over the welcome ceremony, and Zhou Nan also came to the stage to give a speech. However, he spent half a day in the afternoon, and he didn't say much at this moment, just said some things on the scene.

Most of the Chinese in Borneo are immigrants from the south, and Borneo is located in the middle of the sea, and in this era, there are all kinds of rare seafood, which can make Zhou Nan eat enough.

Although they were all migrated from the south, due to the greater humidity here, the taste is salty and spicy, and the food here is more in line with the taste of Zhounan.

Zhou Nan can be regarded as well-informed, but he was still shocked by the "generosity" of the banquet, because some seafood that was almost extinct in later generations was still very common in this era.

Three-foot-long lobsters, yes, not one-foot-long but three-foot-long lobsters, almost all of them are one at a table. The table where Zhou Nan sits, the lobster, is almost a meter long just by the body, which is almost rare in later generations.

Audrey was even more shocked by this seafood feast, seeing those strange fish, huge lobsters and sea crabs, and those strange seafood, she didn't know how to put down her chopsticks.

The same is true of Stolko and Etinny, although Westerners now have some advantages in other aspects, but when it comes to eating, the Chinese are their ancestors.

Under Cai Lao's humility, Zhou Nan was not polite at this time, uncovered the shell on the back of the lobster, used a knife to cut a piece of white and tender shrimp meat and put it in Audrey's bowl, and then helped her add a little seasoning, she took a bite, showed a pleasant expression, and nodded to Zhou Nan all the time.

When the others saw Audrey's cute expression, they couldn't help laughing, and then they raised their glasses and drank freely.

Pontianak is a city that has no electricity, the infrastructure is still poor, and there is not much entertainment at night.

Many people wanted to talk to Zhou Nanpan, but after dinner, he was taken away by Huang Jiaqiang to be interviewed by his radio and newspapers.

In terms of scale and influence, his radio and newspaper influence is still very weak, not to mention compared to Nanyang Siang Pao and Sin Chew Daily, almost no one knows about his newspaper outside Pontianak.

While he said with a dead face that he wanted Zhou Nan to support the local media, he had people stop other media and prevent them from interviewing Zhou Nan. This made Zhou Nan also a little crying and laughing, thinking that he really needed to support the local media in the future, so he returned to the small building where he lived half-pushed and half-pushed.

In the two-hour interview, Zhou Nan gave a complete introduction to his life in Europe and the trajectory of his development. With the addition of Stolko and Etinny, Wong returned with a full load of reporters satisfied.

As soon as he left, Cai Lao and Huang Wenxin came together and informed him that the next meeting had been postponed to three days later because both sides needed to have internal consultations.

However, since the Chinese left-behind on Java Island are still waiting for a decision here, they agreed to contact the Javanese first, asking them to hand over the murderer, and if the other party ignores them, the Chinese will retaliate.

Of course, this reprisals will not be amplified, not against all Javanese, but only against the guerrillas hiding in East Java.

Although the two sides have many differences in development, they are still the same in safeguarding their own national interests.

Although the meeting was temporarily suspended, Zhou Nan didn't think that he could be idle, because there were so many Chinese from other places, and just receiving them, Zhou Nan was probably a little lacking.

Sure enough, the small building where Zhou Nan lived became the center point of Pontianak, and even if it was a separate meeting between the two factions, it did not attract as much attention as Zhou Nan.

The Pontianak Daily published a daily article about Zhou Nan's past experience, which also made the newspaper's sales continue to rise.

Although Zhou Nan did not participate in the separate meetings of the two sides, it does not mean that he is unaware of the differences between the two sides. Because most of the compatriots who come to visit Zhou Nan every day are members of big families who have achieved little success in Southeast Asia, they are also well aware of the main differences within the Chinese people at present.

The contradiction on the conservative side is still relatively small, because it is mainly a matter of interests, and as long as it is interests, they can compromise with each other.

The contradictions on the radical side are getting bigger and bigger, and the plan proposed by Zhou Nan is a mutually compromising plan, and at the same time, the centralized policy and the staunch anti-personal centralization policy also make the radicals worry that their side will lose control in the future government.

Although most people have recognized Zhou Nan's proposal as conducive to the development of the Chinese people, some die-hard idealists still fantasize about a complete revolution.

On the second night of his arrival in Pontianak, Zhou Nan wrote an article on ethnic compatibility called "Hua and Han". In the article, Zhou Nan distinguishes the Han as a single ethnic group, while the Chinese are a multi-ethnic composition that includes the Han Chinese.

This includes the Han Chinese, but is not limited to the Han Chinese.

In Borneo, there are also more than a dozen ethnic groups living in Borneo, as well as some isolated natives. Although this emerging country is dominated by Han Chinese, as long as other ethnic groups that obey the management of the Han people and recognize the Chinese culture, they will also be recognized as members of this country.

When it comes to cultural integration, there is no culture in the world that can be compared with Han culture, and a few generations later, Zhou Nan was confident to solve the problem of national integration.

In fact, even now, there are many Chinese whose own blood is no longer pure. Over the years, countless Chinese have taken root here, and a large number of them have married indigenous people.

In the original history, this part of the mixed race with Chinese blood was basically classified into other ethnic groups later. But in this life, Zhou Nan hopes that they can be proud of their Chinese ancestry.

On the evening of the third day, when Zhou Nan understood the growing contradictions of the radicals, he wrote a new article: "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. ”

Although the name of an article was borrowed from later generations, the content written by Zhou Nan was completely different from the content of that article.

In this article, Zhou Nan makes a serious analysis of the development of Confucianism and the reform and complacency of Chinese culture.

Confucian culture can be said to be the most representative part of Chinese culture. From Dong Zhongshu's exclusive Confucianism to Emperor Wen of Sui's imperial examination system, this is a process from theory to practice.

In fact, Confucianism in this era has always been changing with the changes of the times.

However, starting with Zhu Xi in the Song Dynasty, Confucianism gradually became a monopoly after becoming a vested interest.

Zhu Yuanzhang drove away the Mongols and was utilitarian for a hundred years, but he was a turtle. His superficial knowledge of traditional Chinese culture led him to turn Confucian scholarship into a truly self-contained sect.

Knowledge is not the same as Confucianism, writing and writings, and scholarship, this knowledge system is much earlier than Confucianism, so to speak, Confucianism is only a school of systematic learning of knowledge.

But when it came to him, it became Confucianism equal to knowledge. Since then, Chinese scholarship has truly entered a dark age, and apart from Confucianism, all other scholarship has become crooked.

What was thousands of years ago is still true and unquestionable. This is not the fault of Confucianism or Confucius, but the fault of later generations and those with vested interests.

From Confucianism, Zhou Nan talked about Marxism.

In the article, Zhou Nan did not deny the greatness of classical socialism, but Max himself wrote in the book: Whether human thinking has objective truth is not a theoretical question, but a practical one. People should prove the truth of their thinking in practice, that is, the reality and power of their thinking, that is, the nature of their thinking. The debate about the reality of thinking apart from practice is a purely philosophical one, not a social one.

Nowadays, people regard Marxism as the Bible, but they only see the purpose and ignore the process of combining reality and theory, which is complete dogmatism.

The current Soviet Union was fanatical, and Zhou Nan did not directly attack dogmatism, but expounded his own opinion.

First of all, human nature is the most fundamental force in the fight against dogmatism. The selfishness and self-existence of human nature have been the root forces of the search for self-happiness from the very beginning, and the human existence of the individual cannot be ignored at any time.

Second, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. The opposition between objectivism and subjectivism exists at any time, and how to determine the truth or falsity of truth is not based on the rationality of theory, but on the effect of reality.

The truth of a hundred years ago may be backward now, or it may apply to you but not to me. Therefore, the so-called truth is not immutable, but should keep pace with the times or adapt to reality.

Zhou Nan knew that after his article was published, he would definitely be attacked by many people. But in order to make these Chinese abandon their prejudices and work together to form a strong state, he did not care that the Soviet side might criticize him.
