In the summer of 1935, the city of Mukden was extremely hot, as if the sun could not pass with people, deliberately trying to make people drowsy, and the green leaves looked verdant in the sun. Pedestrians are in a hurry on the road, occasionally the hawkers' cries penetrate the alleys, the breeze blows through the lake and the fish seem to be unable to lift their spirits, the people who go to the green hide under the big trees to take refuge in the shade, and the insects fly by from afar, bringing a wisp of singing.

Wang Mingzhi is a student at Fengtian Dezhong Middle School, and at this time, he and his classmates are singing the national anthem of Manchukuo and holding a flag-raising ceremony.

(Within heaven and earth, there was a new Manchuria.) New Manchuria is Xintiandi. Standing up to the sky, without suffering and worry-free, causing my country. There is only love and no grudges, the people are 30 million, the people are 30 million, and even if they are multiplied, they will be free. Emphasizing benevolence and righteousness, and still being courteous, so that I can cultivate myself; The family has been paid, the country has been governed, what else to ask for. Those who are near will be assimilated with the world, and those who are far away will flow with heaven and earth).

The reason why Wang Mingzhi called this name is said to have been given by his father, because his father said that their family was the descendants of Wang Xizhi, and his father loved calligraphy, so when he breathed the first breath of air in this world, his name was already set.

"I refuse, the refusal is invalid...... Okay, then that's it" ...... "Then so be it" has become Wang Mingzhi's mantra. Wang Mingzhi has never been interested in his name, just like he is to the principal standing on the high platform of the playground.

Zhang Yifu, their principal, a man in his forties, is now singing the Manchurian national anthem with deep affection, and the national flag has been raised to the top of the flagpole with the singing, and the flag-raising ceremony has finally ended. And then Zhang Yifu's speech, which is nothing more than a boring and boring old tune.

"Are we still Chinese, how can this useless dog's leg be endless," Wang Ming, who had not listened to the speech, looked at the sky absentmindedly and muttered.

"Shh......h Be quiet, you're not afraid to run to the playground," a voice came from beside him.

"They won't be able to hear what they're afraid of," he glanced to the right at Yang Wu, who was talking to him.

Yang Wu, Wang Mingzhi's brother who has played since he was a child, peeing and mud with his bare buttocks together, the two of them can't be familiar, if you see Yang Wu there, then it must be Wang Mingzhi who will come into your eyes in the next second. Yang Wu and Wang Mingzhi are the same age, but they are a little anxious, how can that sentence come from a young man, Yang Wu's physical fitness is very good, and he is a fool who sleeps on a cold kang without being cold.

He has a younger brother named Yang Wen, Yang Wen is far from his brother's health, but he is very right to learn his name very well, but he loves to be sick, and he has been like this since he was a child. Yang Wu sometimes wonders if Yang Wen is his own brother, but the relationship between the two brothers has been very good since childhood, so it's no wonder that they are brothers after all!

"They can't hear it, but the gang on the left can't hear it," Yang Wu said with his eyes to Wang Mingzhi's left.

Wang Mingzhi realized what was going on and looked to the left, on their left were Japanese students, and the school was divided into Japanese students and Manchurian students in the past, but since the "Ideological Correction Law", the separate teaching has been abolished, and it has been changed to a unified teaching of Japanese textbooks and learning Japanese.

The Japanese students, as the masters of the occupied territory, looked down on the Manchurian students, believing that it was their Japanese help that established the Manchukuo state, and that your emperor had to rely on the support of our Japanese.

Wang Mingzhi looked to the left and seemed to have not noticed him, and he was lucky in his heart, but in his heart he was angry that he had to be careful when he said something.

He looked at Zhang Yifu on the high platform and was respectfully inviting the vice president of the school, Watanabe, to speak on stage.

Junichiro Watanabe, it is said that he is a top student at Kyoto University, his father is a high-ranking Japanese official, Watanabe's age looks like he is in his twenties, but he has a handful of Danhu, which looks nondescript. However, most Japanese people grow beards like this, so it's good to see how to get used to it.

Watanabe spoke in Japanese, and at the end he even said that he would sing the national anthem in Japanese, and the Japanese students became excited, while the Manchurian students talked about it, and at that moment someone shouted: "Why do we sing in Japanese, we are not Japanese!" Yes, yes, we are not Japanese! Why do we want to sing in Japanese".

Everyone shouted, and the students were a little out of control, and then someone from the Japanese students shouted: "Manchurian pigs are not worthy of speaking Japanese, Manchurian pigs get out of school!" When the Manchurian students heard this, they became even more angry: "If you want to get out, you Japanese dogs will get out!" Get out of school! ”

The two sides shouted and approached each other, argued, and glared at each other, at this time it was already tense, Wang Mingzhi was close to the Japanese students, he saw that things were not good, and found an opportunity to drag Yang Wu back.

"All quiet and quiet" Zhang Yifu shouted loudly when he saw that the situation was about to get out of control, but no one paid attention to him, the two sides had already squeezed together, Zhang Yifu hurriedly walked to Watanabe's side and bent over to ask for instructions: "Principal, what do you think you should do, this, this, do you want to call the police."

Watanabe ignored him and still looked down: "No, tell the teachers to persuade the students in their own class, and you go and call the guards to let them come over to maintain order." Zhang Yifu looked at the vice principal, who was much younger than himself, and bent his waist even more: "Is this all right?" Headmaster, I'm afraid that if we really fight, the scene will get out of control. Watanabe looked at Zhang Yifu with slanted eyes and smiled: "No, the Manchurian side doesn't have the courage, you can do it now!" ”

"Yes, Headmaster, I'll go!" After Zhang Yifu finished speaking, he hurriedly organized the teacher to go.

At the same time, the two sides have been pushed and pulled, and the teachers have been led by Zhang Yifu to disperse to various classes to dissuade the students. The guards had already come over to maintain order around the high platform, and seeing that the scene was about to be controlled, it was impossible to fight like Watanabe said. Watanabe calmly looked down, got off the high platform, turned around and walked towards the teacher's building, which was the only building in the school, and said that the building was nothing more than a small two-story building.

Wang Mingzhi looked at the chaotic scene and said to Yang Wu: "You go and call Yang Wen, if we don't join in this fun, we won't be able to fight anyway." Let's go to the old tree behind the school, I saw it yesterday, there is a bird's nest on the tree, let's go up and try to dig it out, hehe, there are eggs to eat tonight. ”

Yang Wu smiled and said to him, "Good Lak! It's up to you then, the old tree is tall, you can be careful. Wang Ming looked disapproving: "There are no trees in this world that I can't climb, and bird eggs that I can't dig out, you see!" ”

Yang Wu looked at Yang Wen, then turned his head to him and said, "Then you have to be careful, if you fall, your mother will go to my mother to complain." ”

Wang Mingzhi rolled his eyes: "Where did you get so much nonsense, go and tell Yang Wen to go, let's go." ”

Yang Wuying said: "Okay, I'll go now." Waiting for both of us. After saying that, Yang Wu ran away.

"Go, go"! Wang Mingzhi urged.

After talking to Yang Wu, he began to look for the direction that slipped away. Just as he looked back, he met a pair of eyes, and she was also looking at Wang Mingzhi.

Under the long eyelashes, a pair of clear eyes like the jade spring of the Tianshan Mountains, charming and moving, the face of melon seeds, white and a little powdery, soft eyebrows are thick and black, condensed like jade under the nose, the ruddy cherry mouth is half open and half closed, the long black hair flutters in the breeze, tall and slender, perfect and well-proportioned figure, which proves that she is the unique school flower Bai Xiaoting of the school.

Wang Mingzhi knows her, she is unique in this school, oh no, maybe it is the existence of the entire Fengtian Middle School, she studies well, grows well, has a good background, and the most important thing is that she sings well, what oil painting, piano, dance does not she can't do, even martial arts!

It's really an all-powerful and invincible beautiful girl in the universe, okay, a beauty like her must not know Wang Mingzhi, but it is enough for Wang Mingzhi to know that it is her.

The moment he looked at Bai Xiaoting, there was a feeling that he had never felt before, although he had seen Bai Xiaoting before, but it was far away, he only knew that this was an unattainable beauty, but on this occasion today Bai Xiaoting looked at him, his eyes were facing Wang Mingzhi's heart suddenly jumped, and his whole body seemed to be electrocuted, and his eyes did not obey and looked at her blankly.

The brain is still quite clear, "What's the situation, it's amazing, I've always heard people say that you can't look at the eyes of beautiful women, and you will be hooked away, and you don't believe in old jokes and people who say this before, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, and I didn't see my mother hook my father's soul away." But what's going on today? I'm going to be hooked when it's over.,Awesome.,Is there a level of soul hooking? When I go home, I have to tell my mother, your level is not enough, you have to study hard."

He looked at Bai Xiaoting, completely unaware that Bai Xiaoting's eyes looked at him were actually despising him. When the male students went forward, the female students naturally hid behind, and at this time, when the male students were all competing for the lead, he squeezed back like the female students, and he also talked and laughed with Yang Wu, completely with an attitude of caring about my.

And when he wanted to slip away and dig out the bird's eggs and look around, in Bai Xiaoting's opinion, it was just where I should flee in case of a fight. Now in Bai Xiaoting's heart, Wang Mingzhi is a cowardly, selfish, unmanly person, and ambitious.

At this time, how could Wang Mingzhi know that this girl who looked as beautiful as a fairy, the first impression he had when he saw him was like this, if he knew, he was afraid that he would have to regret it. While he was thinking wildly, the situation took a dramatic turn for the worse, and the dissuasion of the teachers did not work, but the two sides fought because of something he knew later, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

When he reacted, the two sides had already been scuffled, Wang Mingzhi reacted very quickly, and hurriedly looked in the direction of Yang Wu and Yang Wen, and saw Yang Wen lying on the ground covering his head, blood flowing out of his head, and Yang Wu was now fighting with several Japanese students.

Students on both sides, you punch me and kick someone keeps falling, Wang Mingzhi is anxious, although he himself is indeed timid, his physical fitness is average, since he was a child, only others bullied him, and he has never done anything out of the ordinary, which is also the reason why his parents taught, his parents often said in his ear: "Mingzhi, people must be benevolent and righteous, they must be courteous, they can't fight, they must study, fighting is only something that reckless people do, you can't go to fight and cause trouble at home, you know." ”

So Wang Mingzhi has understood a truth since he was a child, I can't fight, what should I do when others bully me, it's too much of a loss, he was smart and immediately realized a truth, then I'll run! But when the brother who grew up with his bare ass since he was a child fell to the ground, and the other was still fighting with the other party, and he didn't know if he would also fall to the ground in the next moment, Wang Mingzhi hesitated, as if he had something in his mind.

Scene after scene of the past is tossing and turning in my mind, the arrogance of the Japanese, the corruption and incompetence of the government, and the country has been broken? Now I can't even speak my mother tongue, why is this happening, why is China in this era so slaughtered? He was thinking, can he run away now?

I can run away, can my friends, brothers and relatives run away? What about your own parents? Can they? If you can run away, what about this era? Is it for us to run away?

In fact, Wang Mingzhi already knew in his heart that China and Japan would still fight sooner or later, and then it would be a stormy battle, and he didn't know the tragedy and time of the battlefield, but what he could think of was that it was a war that no one could run away from, a war of life and death, what would happen to us? He didn't know, and at this time, looking at the students fighting on both sides, he thought to himself that maybe this day would not be too long......
