"Hello Principal Liu!"
"Hello Mr. Zhou!"
The teachers and students greeted one after another, but most of their eyes fell on Zhou Hexuan, but Liu Xiang, as the principal, did not pay much attention.
Liu Xiang said: "This is Mr. Lu Zifang, the dean of academic affairs of Chongqing University. ”
"Hello Mr. Lu!" Zhou Hexuan stretched out his hand and smiled.
Lu Zifang hurriedly shook hands and greeted: "I have long admired Mr. Zhou's name, and I am rarely fortunate to see him today." ”
Lu Zifang is thin and weak, with round-framed glasses, and is a standard image of an intellectual of the Republic of China. He is a native of Shapingba and one of the founders of Chongqing University, which moved from Caiyuanba to Shapingba a few years later, which has a lot to do with Lu Zifang.
Lu Zifang was an all-rounder, and left more than 30 kinds of posthumous works, involving astronomy, calendar, mechanics, acoustics, meteorology, earthquakes, mathematics, archaeology, medicine, biology and many other disciplines, and was praised by Joseph Needham, the world's authority on the history of science and technology, as "a scholar with insight into the study of the history of Chinese science and technology".
Liu Xiang also introduced: "This is Mr. Wang Yunsong, Dean of the School of Engineering of Chongqing University. ”
"Hello Dean Wang!"
"Hello Mr. Zhou!"
Wang Yunsong is relatively old, in his 50s, and he has organized Sichuan students to study in France many times, including Deng Gong, Chen Shuai and Nie Shuai.
In Chen Shuai's original words, Wang Yunsong trained three vice premiers for New China, and this is really a legend.
The third person introduced by Liu Xiang is called Wu Fangji, a person from Jiangjin, and is nicknamed "Poet of the White House".
This gentleman is a prodigy, and at the age of three he can recite "Zhou Nan" and "Zhao Nan" in the "Book of Songs". After his father went bankrupt in business, the family moved to the slums, because the neighbors were selling drugs and gambling, his father used a wooden sign to write "White House" and hung it on the wall to show his innocence, and Wu Fangji called himself "White House Wu Sheng".
When Wu Fangji was only 10 years old, his father was imprisoned for a business dispute, and he filed a lawsuit to avenge his father's grievances, and he actually succeeded in rescuing his father, which became a beautiful talk in Chongqing for a while.
There are many anecdotes about Wu Fangji, when he was studying at Tsinghua Preparatory School for Studying in the United States (the predecessor of Tsinghua University), he was expelled for protesting against foreign teachers insulting students, but fortunately Wu Mi and others funded him to leave the school and go home. On the way back to his hometown, Wu Fangji encountered war again, and because of the exhaustion of the road, he had to beg on foot, which took more than five months and more than 3,000 miles to return to Chongqing, composing more than 70 poems and tens of thousands of words in his diary on the way.
"If you don't write about the people's suffering for three days, the article will live up to the common people."
This is Wu Fangji's poems, most of his works are ancient poems, often describing the suffering of the people, but there are also some half-written and half-white "new poems".
And this gentleman likes to write long poems, and his famous work "Wanrong Ci" is just a small test, and he sang the "Ba Ren Song" of the 19th Route Army to resist Japan with a full 1500 words, which is quite a bit of the meaning of the "Song of Long Hatred" of the Anti-Japanese War.
"Mr. Zhou, Brother Yuseng (Wu Mi) mentioned you many times in the letter, and your famous name has made my ears sound calloused." Wu Fangji joked.
Wu Fangji and Wu Mi are classmates at Tsinghua University, and the two have a deep friendship and have maintained correspondence for many years.
Zhou Hexuan clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Yusheng often praises Mr. Wu's poems, and I have admired Mr. Wu for a long time. ”
Liu Xiang introduced a few more cultural figures, all of whom are well-known cultural figures in Sichuan.
Zhou Hexuan then donated 10 sets of "General History of the World", 10 sets of "The Rise of Great Powers" and 10 sets of "Chrysanthemum and Knife" to Chongqing University, and accompanied by Liu Xiang and others, he visited the library and classrooms of Chongqing University and watched the football match of the Chongqing University team.
At half past four in the afternoon, Zhou Hexuan stood on the playground stage to give a speech, he looked at many teachers, students and said: "Two days ago, I met Mr. Lu Zuofu and talked to him about Japan, and we were all very worried. Mr. Lu visited Northeast China last year and wrote a book called "Travels in Northeast China", which recorded some of the conditions he witnessed with his own eyes. He found that Dalian had become the Dalian of the Japanese, with docks, schools, shops, factories, railways, ...... Everywhere it was occupied by the Japanese, and it was run in an orderly manner, and it expanded very quickly. Mr. Lu also watched the Manchurian and Mongolian Resource Museum built by the Japanese, but all the animals and plants produced in Northeast China were collected and displayed by the Japanese into specimens, and the number of various products produced was clearly investigated, and even the statistics were tabulated, with detailed graphic descriptions. ”
Some of the teachers and students in the audience looked puzzled, not knowing why Zhou Hexuan was talking about this; Others looked indignant, apparently always concerned about current affairs.
"The Japanese have already regarded the Northeast as their territory, and in the future, they will regard the whole of China as their territory!"
"Teachers, students, Japan's invasion of China is imminent, once the two countries go to war, what are China's chances of winning? Sichuan is China's great rear and the last bastion of the Chinese people. I hope that you can learn and work hard to build Sichuan into a more prosperous and powerful fortress! ”
Zhou Hexuan's speech continued, and the content was nothing more than the same, emphasizing the inculcation of the idea of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the viewpoint that Japan would inevitably invade China and China would inevitably win.
What he said was obviously ahead of his time, but in a few months, many people will understand.
The government and warlords may have been slow to respond to the September 18 incident, but that doesn't mean that all people in the country are like this. Historically, after the September 18 Incident, all parts of the country, including overseas Chinese, were extremely indignant, and then established various anti-Japanese organizations to save the country.
For example, Lu Zuofu, three months after the September 18 Incident, called for the establishment of the "Chongqing Salvation Association", issued a telegram to save the country, discussed measures to save the country, publicized and agitated against Japan, organized fundraising, and supported the frontline war of resistance.
Between the "918" and the "77 Incident", they took the trouble to collect all kinds of information about Japan, and sent back to China about Japan's society, customs, economy, education, military, public opinion, politics, history, and other related news for several years, so that the Chinese people could have a clearer understanding of Japan.
There are also many Japanese students who have resolutely returned to China, giving up their good jobs in big cities and spontaneously going deep into the rural towns and villages to publicize Japan's ambitions for China and the brutality of the Japanese to those ignorant and ignorant people at the bottom. This move provided great convenience for the later establishment of anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, and also enabled many people to have a fundamental understanding of the Japanese.
The anti-Japanese resistance began as early as after the 918 Incident, not only the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation was fighting, not only the 19th Route Army was fighting, but also countless unknown people with lofty ideals were working hard for it.
Another example is the students studying in Europe and the United States, who also spontaneously contacted and took advantage of the convenience of educational institutions in various countries to expose the wolf ambitions of the Japanese, and formed an anti-fascist alliance at the World Youth Congress, calling on all governments and the League of Nations to support China's anti-Japanese war cause.
These people are unsung heroes.
Zhou Hexuan now has a great reputation, and he can take advantage of this fame to constantly propagate and call for anti-Japanese ideas. This may seem like a useless act, but it contains great power, and is often even more useful than guns.
Belief!
Spirit!
This is something that a great nation must have.
