On November 15, amidst the sound of firecrackers and streamers in the sky, Xu Shichang, who had taken over as vice premier of the Provisional Government, made his first public appearance and officially announced on behalf of the Chinese government that he would take back all Japanese concessions in China and abolish all unequal treaties with Japan from now on.
The news spread, and the whole country rejoiced.
What is a Concession? The concession is the product of imperialism's gross trampling on China's territory and sovereignty, and is a monument of shame that has been pressing on the heads of the Chinese people for decades. How many people with lofty ideals have tried to overthrow it, but they have not been able to do so, but today, the mountain has finally loosened.
In China in this era, I believe that there is nothing more exciting for the Chinese people. Beijing, Shanghai, and other cities and regions across the country, except for some mountain villages where information is not yet developed, have all begun to boil. Under the leadership of the Communist Party members and young students, countless ordinary people ran out of their homes and took to the streets to start holding a grand parade and celebration.
Although at the beginning of the declaration of war against Japan, many people questioned the Communist Party's Xiao Mubai's inadequacy and many people worried that the First Sino-Japanese Year incident would be repeated again, but when the news of the People's Army's successive victories was transmitted back from all fronts, this voice of doubt and worry soon began to disappear. Especially now, when the provisional government once again announced that it would take back the Japanese-occupied concessions and abolish the unequal treaties, the vast majority of people finally began to believe that the Communist Progressive Party led by Xiao Mubai could really lead the whole country on the road of Chinese rejuvenation.
Of course, with the vast majority, there must be a small part. After all, for generations, the most important thing in Chinese society is those discordant voices.
In Beijing, a teahouse near Qianmen Street is crowded with people and has been packed. The tea drinkers, whether they were poor or well-dressed, talked about their views on the current situation to the loud cheers of the procession in the street not far away.
I saw one of the men say, "Hey! If you want to talk about this Communist People's Army, it's really powerful. Not only did he sink several battleships of the Orientals, but also killed a lot of Oriental soldiers in the Northeast, and then he actually hit North Korea in one go. ā
"Isn't it, how ferocious the Oriental soldiers are! Not to mention the time of the first Wu year, they defeated the Qing Dynasty and lost the land, ceding the land and suing for peace, let's just say that a few years ago in the Northeast, they insisted on pinching the Russian old Maozi, and killed him and threw away his armor, until the old Maozi sued for peace. ā
"Who says it's not, if you want to say that these days, you really have to look at the Communist Party, what Beiyang, the Kuomintang, how can anyone have the courage? Last year, the British were cleaned up in Burma, and now they are fighting the Orientals again. Seeing that his words aroused everyone's echo, the man slapped his thighs excitedly while speaking.
After the man finished speaking, he didn't wait for the other tea customers to react, and a forty-year-old man dressed as a flag man first looked disdainful and said, "Hmph, you know fart!" If it weren't for the fact that the Communist Party took advantage of a sneak attack this time, would the Orientals suffer such a big loss? Keep your eyes open, and when the Orientals are ready, maybe something will happen! Is it really that the Orientals are so easy to provoke? In the year of Jiawu and Gengzi, there are few foreigners? It's really hairless, and it's not good to do things. The Oriental soldiers who Lafayette had no choice but to get, just some young people like him, can they? ā
Although the man did not name him, who here did not know who he was targeting? It's just that his words have also attracted the approval of several fellow good deeds.
"Isn't it, isn't this war a joke? It's a pity that so many young lads are gone. What is this called? Iniquity, iniquity! ā
"If you want me to say, it's better to hurry up and take advantage of the fact that the Orientals have not started reinforcements in the country, and propose peace talks earlier, so as not to make a fuss like in the first year of the first year, and in the end they will not be able to collect the field, and the land will be ceded and the compensation will be paid."
"Yes! Oh, yes! These Orientals are so ferocious, if they wait for them to enter the Northeast and Shandong, it will be bad. ā
The middle-aged man saw that there were more and more people who echoed him, and his face suddenly became proud, and just when he was about to say a few words, several young students who had participated in the parade happened to walk in, and when they heard the surrender remarks of walking here, they immediately said angrily: "The Japanese wolf ambitions should have been cleaned up a long time ago!" You people don't want to be a country, but you are still spreading surrender here, what is your intention? ā
"Hey! Little cub, which eye did you see us walking and surrendering? We're drinking tea here, talking about the sky, is it possible that we are still in the way of the king's law? ā
"You, you, you..." Although the young students hated these people's surrender words, they were obviously not good at arguing with others, and they were choked up for a moment and did not know what to say.
Seeing that the young students had nothing to say, the banner man began to become triumphant again, but when he suddenly saw a soldier in a KPA uniform standing at the door out of his eye, he suddenly shuddered in his heart, and immediately pretended to disdain to debate with them anymore, bowed his hand and said goodbye to everyone, and quickly left the teahouse.
Tang Jingming was in a very bad mood, not because he heard the talk of everyone inside outside the teahouse, but because he suddenly thought that as a soldier, the comrades-in-arms of the fraternal army were born and died for the country on the front line, but he was hiding in the rear and enjoying the blessings, which was really undeserved.
After two years in the army, he was determined to serve the country, what did he do? Don't you just hope that one day you will be able to go to the battlefield of resistance against aggression and personally drive the foreign powers out of China? Why is it that now that such an opportunity has come, I am a little content with the status quo?
When he returned home and had a hasty dinner, Tang Jingming didn't have time to explain anything to his parents, so he quickly went back to his room. However, lying in bed, he couldn't sleep at this time, and his mind was his parents who raised him for a while, his comrades-in-arms who got along day and night, and his ideal of serving the country in the army for a while.
Tossing and turning, he didn't sleep for a long time, until the sky outside began to shine, Tang Jingming finally made a decision. That is, end the vacation early and return to the army immediately. At this time, even if his unit will not immediately open the front line, he will feel at ease after being with his brothers in the company.
With his mind already made, Tang Jingming no longer hesitated, and immediately got up and began to pack his luggage. After thinking that he didn't know how to say goodbye to his parents, he walked to the desk again and picked up a pen to write a letter to his family.
"Parents and parents are on top: since the ** war, China has sunk, national sovereignty and territory have been trampled on by foreigners, and the people have suffered for more than 70 years...... The child watched the vicissitudes of life and was determined to serve the country in the army...... However, the country raises soldiers for a thousand days, and it is used for a while, in the autumn of the rise and fall of the country, the husband is still responsible, I am a soldier, and I should move forward bravely, how can I retreat from the battle? Shang Wang's parents are considerate of the difficult times and are good at self-care...... Fortunately, I have younger brothers and younger sisters who can serve my parents and two elders on my behalf...... This war should be a war for the survival of the nation, and there is only sacrifice. This so-called I live and live, and I live and die...... The child has made up his mind, and he still hopes that his parents will fulfill ......! ā
After two years away from home, he never realized that his parents would age so quickly. All the things in his childhood suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. At this moment, he is so reluctant, reluctant to leave this family, his father's strictness, his mother's kindness, his naughty little brother and younger sister, but he is a soldier, a soldier who promises the country with his body, and he must make a choice at this time.
After stopping the pen and sealing the family letter, and placing it on the table, the sky outside had already begun to shine. Tang Jingming didn't delay any longer, picked up the luggage that had been packed before, and strode out of the house.
But he didn't want to, as soon as he opened the door and walked out of the house, he saw his parents, as well as his younger brothers and sisters. I saw that my father Tang Mengxuan pursed his lips, and it took a long time to say, "Jingming, you... Are you leaving? ā
Looking at the old father and mother whose temples were already gray, Tang Jingming couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and after a pause, he had to harden his heart: "Father, please forgive the child for being unfilial, and he can't be under your knees." Nowadays, people are offending me, the country is in trouble, how can the child be a soldier, how can he ignore it? ā
"My son can think like this, being a father is not an unreasonable person, but he has no eyes on the battlefield, I hope you ......" Tang Mengxuan turned around before he finished speaking. Rao is usually elegant, but when he saw his eldest son leaving home, his eyes were red.
Tang Jingming's eyes were slightly red, and he knew what his father meant, so he knelt down on his knees, kowtowed three times to his parents, and reluctantly glanced at his younger brother and sister before he said: "Jinghui and Jingyue are still young, and I hope that my father and mother can teach me more, and the child will go!" ā
"Jingming ......" saw that he was about to turn around and leave his eldest son, and his mother Tian cried first.
At this moment, Tang Jingming couldn't hold back any longer, tears burst out of his eyes in an instant, he knelt down on his knees again, and couldn't cry: "Father, mother, when the child is born, the country is like this, it is the helplessness of the child, but if the son of the child is born, the country is still like this, it is the child's incompetence." Please forgive the child for being unfilial! ā
"Don't be a child, and I am glad that you can do that, and I am very pleased that you are a father. When he goes to the battlefield in the future, he hopes that you will be able to fight bravely and be loyal to the country. Hearing his son's crying, Tang Mengxuan not only did not turn around, but instead said harsh words.
"Why bury bones, life is full of green mountains." Tang Jingming got up, and after giving a solemn military salute to his father, he picked up his luggage and turned around and left with great strides.
No one knows when he will come back next time.
