Chapter 1140 There are also workers in China who ask for monthly passes
Just when Zhu Jishi asked Maria to send money to Bakunin's account, he never imagined that on a certain street in London, Comrade Hu Zhenguo, who once wanted to overthrow the Ming Empire and establish a democratic republic, was hurriedly asking Karl to send money to him. Marx's house walked down the street. Hu Zhenguo is now the president of the London-based China Work-Study Association.
In the past few years, the work-study society he founded and led has successively sent more than 8,000 Chinese students to Europe to seek ...... Revolutionary truth. Compared to the work-study movement in history, the whole is 4 times more! It's a remarkable number, imagine how many revolutionaries were born in the history of just over 1,600 Chinese young people who went to France to work and study! If this number is multiplied by 5, the reactionary rule of our Emperor Zhu will probably really be in jeopardy!
However, Zhu Jishi must have ignored this problem at the moment, not only did he not give the order to stop this extremely dangerous "movement", but also donated money to the China Work-Study Society, which opened the door to this movement that is likely to train hundreds or thousands of revolutionaries.
And Hu Zhenguo, who led the movement, really did not seem to be the material of a great revolutionary -- this man is now also middle-aged, with a successful career and a happy family. In addition to the deep hatred of the sea of blood, uh, in fact, there is nothing to "hate", there are no close relatives killed by Emperor Zhu's army, and the closest blood relationship is an uncle. His father, who is a capitalist in Shanghai, doesn't care about this, what is he still blind? Therefore, in the past two years, he has not developed any revolutionary organizations among the students who have remained in Europe, let alone tried to contact any foreign governments for support...... In fact, he never realized the truth that rebellion needs a foreign backstage.
So in Europe all these years. He devoted all his energy to cultivating talents, not to rebels. The "Sino-British Tuition School" opened in London. Opened the "Sino-French Cram School" in Paris. He also opened the "Sino-German Tutorial School" in Frankfurt to help Chinese young people who have just arrived in Europe learn foreign languages and remedial scientific knowledge. In addition, according to the students' grades in these cram schools, they are recommended to apply for universities, technical schools, junior colleges, and even seminaries, in short, so that no student is left without a book to study. He is much more capable than those in charge of Chinese students studying in France in history, and of course he has sufficient funds. The current Ming Dynasty is not the semi-feudal and semi-colonial China, but the third power in the world!
However, this "work-study" has a work-word after all, which means that the work-study association can only subsidize part of the cost of international students. There are still many international students who work part-time or even full-time in their spare time. For this reason, Hu Zhenguo and the personnel of the Work-Study Society in Europe also did not do much for them.
And today, he went to visit Dr. Marx because of these Chinese students who were not admitted to European schools for various reasons.
Well, of course he knows Marx! This is not surprising, he and Marx are both celebrities in London, and both are related to China. How can they not know each other? However, knowing is knowing, but friendship is not very deep. This is because Marx's political thinking is different from his...... This Hu Zhenguo is a revolutionary. That is also a bourgeois revolutionary, and it is not quite the same as the proletariat.
Or in the words of the Hereafter. He's a well-known person. He had some opinions on Emperor Zhu's reactionary dictatorship and aggressive expansion, but he would not really stand with the working people and oppose the exploitation of the bourgeoisie and the landlord class. He also did not approve of the Chinese students working in the London factories joining the International Workers' Federation in the name of "representatives of the Chinese working class".
Therefore, today he went to Marx's house to go to the "counter-revolutionary", not to make a revolution with Marx!
"We must not let these young people learn badly, otherwise the imperial court will investigate it, and the entire thrifty society will not be able to bear it......" Hu Zhenguo thought about the chaos that these "representatives of the Chinese working class" might make, and his scalp suddenly felt a little numb. Now his Hu family is a big family, and his sons and daughters, as well as his father and several younger siblings are all in China! What would they do if something happened?
He glanced up at the sky with dark clouds falling, and saw that it was going to rain again, so he hurriedly quickened his pace. Today he heard a report from a young man who was working in a textile factory in London, saying that Jiang Zhaocong, a student from Zhejiang, had invited several students from Zhejiang to meet Marx and asked to attend the inaugural meeting of the International Workers' Union -- what was this guy surnamed Jiang doing? What kind of worker is he? His family runs a salt shop and has a lot of money. Even if this kid can't study in the UK, he will be a small man when he goes back, and he won't go to work as a worker.
These young people really don't know what they're thinking!
At this time, the door of Marx's house was knocked on by several Orientals in overalls. The leader was a young man with handsome eyebrows and a little majesty, who was saying something to a few people around him in an official dialect with a Zhejiang accent.
"Remember, when we go in, we will say that we are coming to Europe to ask for help on behalf of the Chinese working class, you know?"
"But, Su'an, we are not workers in China. That's not a big deal, is it? ”
"What's so bad, we are workers now, and we also need help, isn't they, the International Workers' Union, want to help the workers?"
As he was talking, the iron door was opened, and a white woman in her forties, copied English with a German accent, looked at the Chinese outside the door, and asked suspiciously, "...... are you?"
"We came from China and are representatives of the Chinese working class." The handsome young man hurriedly introduced himself, "My name is Jiang Zhaocong, and I made an appointment with Mr. Marx." ”
"Oh, it's Mr. Jiang, please come in, please come in." The white woman was very polite when she heard that the visitor was "a representative of the Chinese workers," and invited her to the door. Marx's spacious living room was already full of friends at this time, all foreigners in cheap suits, and many of them did not even trim the edges. The smell of cigarettes and strong coffee floated in the living room, and there were people making loud speeches, so that Jiang Zhaocong and the others came in without attracting anyone's attention.
"Wait a minute, I'll go and talk to Mr. Marx." The woman was actually Helen, the maid of Marx's family. Lin, she let a few Chinese sit in the living room, and she went upstairs to see Marx. Jiang Zhaocong, on the other hand, listened attentively to the speech that was going on in the living room. He has been in the UK for more than a year and has a full grasp of the English language.
“…… The revolution that is now taking place in Poland is at the heart of all our work. After the success of the Polish Revolution, what kind of system should be used to administer the world's first proletarian country is the question we need to think about the most. The Constitution of the International Workingmen's Association must also serve this core - to ensure the success of the Polish revolution and to ensure that the Polish proletarian regime can survive and develop under the encirclement of capitalism. ”
It was at this time that Helen. Lin Yu had already walked to Jiang Zhaocong's side, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Marx invites you to go upstairs to talk, and you are alone." ”
"Oh, okay, okay." Jiang Zhaocong nodded again and again. He also knew Marx at several London workers' meetings, where he listened to Marx's truth about how dark capitalism is and how it must perish. I think it's very interesting. After one of Marx's speeches, he asked a few questions individually as a workers' representative, and Marx felt good about this young Chinese man, so he recommended him to read a few books of his own. I don't know what inspired him, but Jiang Zhaocong suddenly felt that this international workingmen's association should also have representatives of Chinese workers, and that he was both a Chinese and a worker, and should be able to represent the Chinese working class. Anyway, it's also a chance to get ahead, right? (To be continued......)
