Chapter 18: The Island
The more Fang Hongjian said, the more Cao Yuanlang felt that he was weak-hearted, and Cao Yuanlang also had his own theoretical basis, this Fang Hongjian had been writing novels on "Happy Forest", and it seemed that he should not be good at poetry, so he urged with bad intentions: "It's okay, let's feel it." ”
Fang Hong gradually brewed his emotions for a while, and then chanted in a flat voice with grief:
"At that moment, in the incense mist of the prayer hall, I suddenly heard the true words of your chanting;
On that day, I shook all the prayer cylinders, not for excess, but to touch your fingertips;
In that month, I kowtowed and hugged the dust, not for the Buddha, but for your warmth;
That year, I climbed 100,000 mountains, not to cultivate the afterlife, but to meet you on the way! ”
Although this "That Moment" is called Cangyang Gyatso, it is actually a lyric written by the famous musician He Xuntian in Zhu Zheqin's "Yang Jinma" album in 1997, and the name of the song is "The Believer", but later due to misinformation, it was considered to be the work of Cangyang Gyatso, so Fang Hongjian is very sure that this poem will definitely not crash like "Broken Chapter".
This poem "That Moment", which was obviously different from all the poetry styles at that time but had a touching artistic conception, naturally shocked Tang Xiaofu, Su Wenjun, Cao Yuanlang, and Zhao Xinlin, and came over for a long time. ”
Fang Hong gradually sighed, and then replied in a low voice: "This poem is for my fiancée who has passed away, after learning her bad news, I used to be depressed for a long time, burning incense and praying in front of the Buddha all day long, just hoping to see her again, this poem was written in the temple at that time." ”
After Fang Hongjian reminded her like this, Miss Su suddenly remembered, that's right, it is said that Fang Hongjian had a marriage contract with the Zhou family of Dianjin Bank before, and even the cost of his stay abroad was actually the dowry originally prepared by the Zhou family, so it seems that their relationship is indeed very deep, so it is no wonder why I was very reasonable with Hongjian on the boat, but after arriving in Shanghai, he was like a divorce from me, it turned out that he had not completely forgotten his ex-wife.
Thinking of this, Miss Su was very guilty and said to the other party: "I'm sorry, Hongji, I have aroused your sadness." ”
Fang Hong gradually shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's all in the past." In fact, the reason why he chose this poem is because he just said that he will not crash, second, because it is in line with his experience, and third, because he wants to use this poem to express that he has not forgotten his ex-wife, so as to tactfully reject Miss Su's kindness.
Zhao Xinlin and Cao Yuanlang, who already understood Fang Hongji's thoughts and knew that he would never be their rivals, had a very good attitude towards Fang Hongjian at this time, and Cao Yuanlang praised him without a bottom line: "This poem made by Brother Fang for his fiancée is comparable to Su Dongpo's "Jiangchengzi". ”
Fang Hong, who was ashamed of being a copyist, gradually waved his hand again and again: "Brother Cao, you are killing me." Then he said apologetically to a few people: "I'm sorry, everyone, thinking of the past, I'm a little uncomfortable in my heart, so I won't hinder everyone's Yaxing, and I'll invite a few more when I have the opportunity in the future." ”
Everyone recognized Fang Hongji's reason, so they all comforted him to relax his mind and go back to rest.
Fang Hongjian thought that with this episode, Miss Su should be dead to him, but what he didn't expect was that just because of the deep affection he showed for his deceased fiancée at the moment, it deepened his perfect image in Miss Su's heart, and even Tang Xiaofu had a good impression of him, because in a woman's mind, since you can be so good to the woman before you, then if we are together, you will definitely be good to me. And this person is dead, so he will definitely not be his opponent, just need time to slowly dilute his memories.
What he didn't expect was that Zhao Xinlin, who had changed his opinion about him and even began to appreciate him because of this incident, actually put his thoughts about his deceased fiancée and this poem "That Moment" together and wrote a lingering and touching story published in the Huamei newspaper where he worked.
As soon as this report came out, Dr. Fang Hongji's affectionate name immediately sounded, and even Fang Hongji's ex-father-in-law and mother-in-law said that they had found a good aunt, but it was a pity that his daughter was blessed, and even made a special trip to donate a sum of money to his new clinic, which Fang Hongjian did not expect.
However, at this time, Fang Hongjian didn't have time to worry about these trivial matters, because he knew that if nothing else, the Japanese would be in Shanghai in half a month, and he had to take advantage of this quiet time to arrange all the matters of his clinic.
Sure enough, on August 13, half a month later, the Japanese army attacked Shanghai under the pretext of the "Hongqiao Airport Incident", although he had seen the cruelty of the war and the destruction of people's lives in books, but only when he was really here, Fang Hongjian really realized this, and even he regretted that he knew that he should retreat to Chongqing.
Because of the Battle of Songhu, the area originally located north of Suzhou Creek, the northern and eastern districts, including the public concession, and the Zhabei area under the jurisdiction of the Chinese boundary, used to be the most rapidly growing area of Shanghai in the early 20th century, but now it has become the front line of the confrontation between the Chinese and Japanese armies, and the industries and residential buildings in the two districts have been completely destroyed, and the people's property has suffered heavy losses.
Other areas such as Yangshupu, Nanshi and Wusong were also severely damaged, with countless buildings burned and millions of citizens forced to take refuge in the concession area south of Suzhou Creek. Because the concession was still under the control of the British, American, French, and other powers, the frightened Shanghai citizens believed that the Japanese would not dare to contend with the European and American powers, and the concession would undoubtedly become a temporary "haven of refuge."
Seeing this scene, Fang Hong gradually couldn't help but secretly sigh that if he was the protagonist of the anti-Japanese soldier Wang Wen, otherwise he would be able to go to the front line to kill the Quartet. However, it is not that he can't do anything, so Fang Hong gradually put down the clinic he had just opened, ran to Zhongshan Hospital, and treated the wounded together with the doctors of Zhongshan Hospital, contributing to the anti-Japanese war.
Unfortunately, on November 12, Shanghai finally fell into the hands of the enemy due to being outnumbered. Even Zhongshan Hospital, the base where Fang Hongji had been fighting for the past three months, was ruthlessly occupied by the Japanese army.
PS: There are some things that I dare not and cannot write in detail, so I have to write them off.
Some book friends questioned in the comment area that penicillin cannot be made without strains, and friends who are interested in this can go to Baidu to learn about the laboratory preparation method of penicillin. In addition, penicillin can be extracted by its practical soil method, which is described in detail in the Japanese drama "Benevolent Doctor" and my clumsy work "1885 British Tycoon", so since the soil method can be done, let alone a laboratory with sufficient equipment and equipment.
