The Liberal Democratic Party has fully predicted that Zhou Nan will rely on the "General History of the World" to be in the limelight, because this tome about human history can indeed be called the best historical and humanistic book in modern times.

However, the more influential middle and second volumes have not yet gone on sale, and they do not believe that a history book that tells the story of a hundred years ago will cause a sensation around the world.

It is true that the General History of the World sold well, but it did not cause much of a sensation among ordinary people. It's just a small area of the academic community that has attracted the attention of some people, and it's not particularly outstanding.

Although the sales momentum of this book is very good, this is also because Zhou Nan writes a humanistic book in a relaxed and interesting way, so that ordinary people can also get the pleasure of reading from this kind of knowledge book.

But, to everyone's surprise, Zhou Nan's lecture tour set off a hurricane in Europe with his great name, a hurricane that was enough to destroy the rigid minds of Europeans today.

Each of the five presentations in Paris was so captivating. More importantly, Zhou Nan's analysis and judgment are all close to reality, and there is absolutely no high or low level of theoretical researchers.

To give a very simple example, Max and Enkes, Max is a pure theoretical researcher, so when he was alive, it can be said that he was not welcomed, because most people could not accept his theories and thought that they were empty buildings.

The opposite of him was Enks, who was not as respected as Max in later life, but was highly respected in the days when they were both alive.

Because Enkes was not a pure idealist like Max, he focused on the combination of theory and reality, so he was accepted by most people.

Of course, in terms of the depth of thought, Enks is not as good as Max, because most of the theories were completed by Max.

That's why Max was praised on the altar in later generations.

The two of them are typical geniuses who are half a step ahead of the world, and crazy people who are one step ahead of the world.

Another example is the great mentor that Stolko once admired, he was a pure theoretician in the first half of his life, so he was not popular anywhere, and people respected him, respected his knowledge, but did not agree with most of his views.

In Switzerland, he is not close to reality and promotes his set. But Switzerland, although not wealthy, is stable and has almost no people living in extreme poverty.

So he didn't pay attention to it at all, and most people took him as a joke during his time in Switzerland.

Only when he returned to his homeland, where the gap between the rich and the poor was too great and the national contradictions were fierce, could his theory have the soil to survive.

If Zhou Nan was just a theorist, he would have attracted some attention in the academic world at most. However, although his book has not yet been published, his speech has already closely followed the melody of the times, and his ideas have been slowly expressed through the changes in the real environment.

His unbiased stance made his theory accepted by most people, not only Western countries, but even the academic circles of the big countries in the East, which could not find the slightest fault with Zhou Nan and accepted his theory.

Ordinary people can accept his theory, the West accepts his theory, and the East also accepts his theory, which also makes Zhou Nan a famous benchmark and public knowledge in this era.

Of course, this public knowledge is not a derogatory public knowledge in the later Internet era, but a public knowledge recognized by everyone.

This also means that Zhou Nan's words are getting heavier and heavier.

Jean Nord was one of the most shocked.

He originally spent some public relations funds and bought off some media to promote Zhou Nan.

The greater Zhou Nan's fame and the higher he is praised, the more he will be restricted, and the safer his family continuation will be.

By the time Zhou Nan's five speeches in Paris were over, the world was already boiling over him.

It was unthinkable that Zhou Nan would throw out such a shocking topic in Paris, directly analyzing the current complex international situation in Europe.

The point is that his analytical stance is fair and the content is rigorous, because it is recognized by everyone, and it becomes more weighty.

Zhou Nan became popular, not because of his books, nor because of his most popular music performances after each speech, but because of his clear understanding of the current international situation.

As a result of this change, Zhou's speech has long since become a focus of attention from governments across the globe.

Therefore, when Zhou Nan was about to leave Paris and go to Lyon, he couldn't stay anymore and brought his assistants and bodyguards to escort Zhou Nan.

He has also bought all the media in the south of France, and is ready to go all out to praise Zhou Nan. Of course, these are things that he didn't tell Zhou Nan directly, there is a Stolko by Zhou Nan's side, and he will definitely know these things in the future.

Lyon is just over 100 kilometers from Geneva, much closer than Zhou Nan from Paris. Before Zhou Nan arrived in Lyon, he had already arranged everything for Zhou Nan.

He quit the room he had booked in a hotel in the city and rented a villa in the church on the hill of Fourvière, which was not only more beautiful but also safer. Once the doors of the villa were closed, it was impossible for any journalist to harass them.

His foresight proved to be very useful, because after Zhou Nan's first speech in Lyon, he threw out "On the Cold War and the Iron Curtain", and Zhou Nan caused even more sensation.

In this speech, Zhou Nan compassionately explained for the first time to the Allies and the Soviet Union that once the Iron Curtain was opened, the whole of Europe would fall into an abyss of misery.

Western Europe is almost in ruins, and agriculture has recovered less than half of what it was. Originally, Western Europe had to import food from Eastern Europe, and once the confrontation formed, Western Europe would at least lose millions of people due to lack of food.

He didn't condemn either side morally, he just made a point. Even in the event of a future war, the neglect of humanitarian aid cannot be ignored, and war should be separated from refugee relief.

Decades later, human rights and humanitarianism have become the mainstream of the world, which is another battlefield in the struggle between the East and the West for the right of public opinion in the context of the Cold War.

But in this day and age, human rights and humanitarianism are just a joke.

Humanism is an idea that originated in the European Renaissance. Advocate caring for people, respecting people, people-centered worldview, advocating personality equality and mutual respect.

But in this era, there is simply no country or force that will pay attention to this aspect.

Zhou Nan threw out this topic at this time in order to make himself a pioneer of this concept, because this is the mainstream idea of society in the future.

Occupying this moral high ground, no one will be able to compete with them at this level in the future.

But except for Zhou Nan, no one else knew his true thoughts, but they were moved by Zhou Nan's noble sentiments.

In the speech that day, more than half of the students were moved to tears, and countless female students were crazy because of Zhou Nan, and they were proud to be able to kiss and hug him.

If Nord hadn't brought a few more bodyguards, Zhou Nan probably wouldn't have been able to walk out of the gate of the Lyon College of Sciences intact.

From the history of Europe, to the present of Europe, from the prospect of Franco-German relations to the confrontation between East and West. Zhou Nan finally put forward his complete idea of humanitarianism for the first time in Lyon, the ancient cultural center of Europe.

Next, Zhou Nan went to several universities such as the University of Lyon 1 to fully analyze humanitarianism.

From the people-oriented period of the Spring and Autumn Period in ancient China, to the concretization of freedom, equality, and fraternity during the French Revolution.

Humanitarianism was completely analyzed by Zhou Nan into two meanings according to the current social reality.

The first is bourgeois humanism, which derives mainly from the historical and worldview of mankind. The Renaissance put forward a human-centered worldview, advocated human rights, denied theocracy, demanded respect for human value, human dignity, and human free will, opposed asceticism, and advocated secular education and scientific knowledge. The right to develop human nature is required to be fully realized.

The second is socialist humanism, that is, humanism based on ethical principles and moral norms, which originates from bourgeois humanism.

The main difference between these two types of humanism is that one is idealism and the other is materialism.

Although there are fundamental differences in ideology, Zhou Nan also analyzed in detail that the two kinds of humanitarianism can actually coexist, and believes that both kinds of humanitarianism can extend the spirit of charity to help the weak.

Yes, this is the real purpose of Zhou Nan.

The competition of countries in the world doomed this world to not be a peaceful world, and Zhou Nan did not have such a broad mind to care for everyone, help everyone, and have no ability to change the world.

However, he can be a pioneer of ideas. As long as his ideas can be accepted by those in power, then his ideas can help more people than he would have worked hard to save himself.

His strength is his thoughts, his ideas. Other than that, he doesn't have any greater advantages and abilities than others.

His mind is his most important weapon, a lever that can change the world.

In five days, he gave four lectures in Lyon, three of which were about humanitarianism, but he did not fully describe his theory of humanitarianism.

However, this has caused a huge stir around the world.

Newspapers around the world reproduced his speeches in their entirety every day. These are all things that need to be paid, of course, if you don't give it, Zhou Nan won't ask for it.

All remuneration was announced by Etiny to be donated to the Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) as their operating fund to help all those in need.

The Red Cross in this era is still very trustworthy, and the supervision in Europe is very strict, and there will be no disgusting cases of corruption and corruption.

Not to mention those civilians, even these acquaintances around Zhou Nan were all moved by Zhou Nan.

Originally, they only admired and appreciated Zhou Nan's talent, but now, they were conquered from the heart.

Even Jean Nord, who is a hedonist, felt that his soul was purified because he listened to Zhou Nan's speech for several days in a row, and promised to donate 500,000 Swiss francs in front of the officials of the Red Cross.

Although others did not donate as much as he did, from Lyon to Paris, from France to Switzerland, to the United States, there was a wave of donations.
