Li Zhen, whose original surname is Lin, his name is Zaizhen, and he later changed his surname to Li, his name is Zhen, his name is Hongfu, and his name is Zhuowu. He was a famous thinker and writer in the Ming Dynasty, and a very influential grandmaster-level scholar in the Taizhou School, a branch of Yangming Xinxue.

He is not bound by the traditional concepts of Confucianism in his thinking, has a strong anti-traditional concept, and even considers himself a heresy of traditional Confucianism. He denounced and criticized the feudal society of male superiority and inferiority of women, emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business, false Taoism, social corruption, and corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and advocated "reforming the old and bringing forth the new" and opposing ideological imprisonment. And those ideas about criticizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, promoting the merits of merchants, and advocating utilitarian values are very much in line with the development requirements of the budding capitalism in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Li Zhen has written a lot in his life, and his works have been banned and destroyed several times, but although people are dead and books are banned, his name has become more and more serious, so that the people have pirated and printed endlessly, and even the "Li's Book Burning" in the hands of the little sister of the Zhou family is also a private version engraved by the people.

Turning the title page, the exposition of Mr. Li Zhen, who had been imprisoned fifty years ago, jumped into her eyes again, and she had read this and other works of Li Zhen, and had read them many times, and could even memorize them backwards.

Regarding this gentleman's opinion, although the little sister of the Zhou family has not seen him, she has been convinced for a long time. In particular, the theories that criticize science, advocate social equality, respect women, and advocate the freedom of marriage are believed from the bottom of my heart. And over the years, she has been rejected by her family for many family affairs, and the reason is not far from what her brother Zhou Jingting believed.

However, after so many years, she has never met a person who truly believes that people can get along with each other on an equal footing, and women can be respected like men. Even the "heretics" and "scum" of the Taizhou School mentioned by her brother Zhou Jingting after returning from his travels could not meet her standards in words and deeds.

But who knows, this time I went to the government office to find out Chen Wen's temper and temperament for my brother and family, but I never expected that there was such a figure who believed in equality and respected women in the army with the deepest class concept. And this person is actually the new famous general of the dynasty who has always been known for his rigorous management of the army. This made her unconsciously well-up with thoughts called curiosity.

"Perhaps, he and Mr. Li Zhen have the same concept, maybe it's okay."

With self-talk, a shallow smile appeared on the beautiful face of the little sister of the Zhou family.

………………

The Southern Song Dynasty version of "Titanic" came out of Jinhuafu City, along the Dongyang River and the downstream Qiantang River to Hangzhou in a few days. Unlike last time, this time because I already knew Li Yu's safe place. So it was quickly sent to his case.

When he saw the visitor, Li Yu knew that it was the handwriting of a scholar from Jinhua Mansion named Lu Xun. Not long after he left Jinhua, he still heard of the geniuses in Jinhua Mansion, but he had never heard of this person named Lu Xun. After reading this person's writing, not only is it vulgar, but there are also problems with mediocrity, and he is really a vassal and elegant guy.

It's just that life after coming to Hangzhou is not very good, although there are friends to help. But a large family needs him to support, Li Yu still read the whole story on the face of the money, and finally wrote a rather tactful comment for the person to take back, which can be regarded as worthy of the honorarium from others.

But who knows, not long after the review went back, the reader named Lu Xun sent someone to send another copy, and for the sake of the Yijin that the person sent again, Li Yu decided to revise it for him. It can be regarded as repaying this trust.

It's ridiculously hard to think about the words of the reader, and it probably takes a lot of effort. Li Yu beckoned the visitors to go back and rest, and only after the ink was studied did Li Yu open the new manuscript paper.

The words are still the handwriting I have seen before, and even the ink fragrance has not changed, Li Yu picked up the pen and began to read it silently word by word......

"The sixth day of the second month of the second year of the Great Song Xiangxing. In Yashan Town, Xinhui County, Guangzhou Prefecture, Zhang Shijie, the last famous general of the Great Song Dynasty, was unable to resist the iron hooves of the tyrant when the waterway was cut off and the soldiers were tired. When the army was defeated, Lu Xiufu, the prime minister of the left, was afraid that the Son of Heaven would be captured by the Tartars, so he threw himself into the sea with the emperor. Even the more than 100,000 people who accompanied him did not want to live in the era of China and died in the Tartars, so they committed suicide by throwing themselves into the sea. Early the next morning, the sea was full of floating corpses, until the edge of the sea-sky transition......"

Knowing that his father died in Yashan, the wife of Zhen Yuandao, a Fuzhou official, and his daughter Zhen Huan boarded a sea ship to that strange country with his uncle, who had always been doing business in Japan. At the same time, the poor Xiucai Bai Zihua in the same city buried his widowed mother who committed suicide by hunger strike with tears, and under the persuasion of his classmates, he also decided to go east to Japan and never live under the iron hooves of the Tartars......"

“…… As the daughter of the Han family, why do you want to marry a barbarian. It wasn't until this moment that Zhen Huan finally understood why her uncle, who had always been weak, tried his best to persuade her mother to take her away from Japan when her father was dead. After nightfall, knowing that there was no room for things to turn around, Zhen Huan quietly left the room and came to the bow of the boat, just to jump! ”

"Even if Japan has always bowed down to the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, even if the big men of Japan have always been keen to learn Sinology, but barbarians are barbarians after all, and even the big men of the Changzhou Domain must not take away her dignity as the daughter of the Han family."

"The sea is very cold, like ice stored in an ice cellar in the winter and taken out in the summer. But for Zhen Huan, this is indeed the final destination. The body gradually sank with the gravity brought by the weight tied to the body, Zhen Huan slowly closed her eyes, quiet as if she was asleep. But at that moment, a thin but firm arm was placed around her waist, and the other hand struggled to untie the weight from her body......"

“…… In a trance, Zhen Huan seemed to have returned to her home in Fuzhou, her father was writing a recital in the study, while she and her mother were doing female celebrity in the autumn sunset, talking about some interesting things about their daughter's family. But when he woke up from his coma, he saw his mother's tear-stained face and his uncle's hateful face. ”

Someone invited a life-saving benefactor, only to hear a snap, Zhen Huan slapped Bai Zihua's face without hesitation, and then came why did you save me from tears. But what she got was that as long as she lived, there would always be a hopeful response, warm and firm......"

“…… In this way, Zhen Huan and Bai Zihua gradually became acquainted, and on this sea ship that crossed Japan eastward, the two walked on the deck together, chanted poems and sang together, and almost talked about everything. And the persecution of her mother and the supervision of her uncle, who lied that he would no longer force her to marry the Japanese kingdom, became stricter and stricter, and even once threatened Bai Zihua that if he did not stay away from his niece, he would kill him on this sea! ”

Under the persecution of his uncle, Zhen Huan and Bai Zihua quickly made a private agreement for life, and even planned to wait for the ship to arrive at the shore, Bai Zihua took Zhen Huan and her mother to flee together, and went to Bai Zihua, the classmate who went to the Satsuma Domain in Japan in advance. When he gets there, he can go sideways to teach Chinese characters in the market, and she will serve the widowed mother at home for the rest of her life, and they will have a home, a group of lively and lovely children, and a bright future......"

“…… Two days before arriving in Japan, just as Zhen Huan and Bai Zihua were talking about love in the cabin, a huge shock threw them to the ground. Amid the cries of the people in the boat, the two men went to the deck, only to see a huge mountain of ice floating on the water, while the bow of the boat they were riding on began to sink slowly after intersecting with the iceberg, and the stern of the boat began to rise high......"

“…… The almost erected sea ship broke into two ends when it was unable to bear its own weight, while Bai Zihua and Zhen Huan jumped into the sea at the moment when the sea ship sank, avoiding the vortex when it sank, and finally survived after finding a door panel. And her uncle suddenly appeared in front of him with a sharp knife to untie his wrist, trying to kill Zhen Huan and Bai Zihua in order to monopolize the door panel......"

“…… On the dark sea, my uncle disappeared into the sea during the struggle. It's just that even if it is close, Zhen Huan can't see the blood-stained sea water next to Bai Zihua. Until the voice of reciting the poem gradually became sluggish, Bai Zihua closed his eyes tiredly, his body began to lose its due temperature, and the moment Zhen Huan saw the lights of the ship in the distance, he quietly sank into the sea......"

Immersed in the story, it was not until the family pushed open the door that Li Yu emerged from the cold but warm sea, but by this time, the sky was already bright.

The arm holding the pen was sore, unable to move, and the ink in the inkstone had already solidified. waved away his family, but what Li Yu remembered was that over the years, "all the crazy slaves came to plow the grave and go to the fields." After the house was left behind, he was on the edge of the battlefield. How many places are extinguished, who has all the flesh and bones? borrowed someone to comfort himself, and spent a peaceful year".

Born secretly under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with a money rat tail on his head, and betraying the sage's teachings on the defense of Yixia, Li Yu no longer had the heart to read any sage books, but pinned the rest of his life on the creation of dramas and stories, as was the case with "Sympathy Companion", which came out not long ago.

However, compared with this story, although his "Sympathy Companion" is more delicate and soft, it lacks the atmosphere and resonance from the times, especially in the last days of the Ming Dynasty when China is about to die again in the Tatars, this resonance is even more shocking.

After sending his family to inform the messenger sent by Chen Wen and waiting a few more days, Li Yu decided to completely complete the story and strive to make it a classic. At this moment, he is rushing to the house of the friend who often helps him to get a few pieces of ice from the ice cellar, so as to verify the reason why the ice floats on the water mentioned by Chen Wen at the end, and the two "crucial" problems of the ice melting in the water and the water level not changing.
