Chapter 41: Farewell

readx;?This chapter was written last night for a long time and has been dissatisfied.,I didn't send it.。 The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info changed back and forth in the morning and changed it to a headache, so be it.

Qiu Feng said goodbye to his friends and left the wasteland with a pack of film.

A few days later, the prospecting team also left, with an exact report.

The cover was deserted, and the camp had a desolate smell.

The exiles resumed their previous work schedules, logging trees, repairing camps, reading, holding meetings, attending classes, writing, ......

The day-to-day routine seems to have never changed, but everyone knows that the days of calm are numbered.

The report of the prospecting team will bring Xu Guogong a surprise. It won't be long before the engineering team of the Xingliao Group will drive into the wilderness.

They will drain swamps, build roads, bring in hundreds of workers and roaring machines, and turn the wasteland, which has been dormant for thousands of years, into a bustling mining field.

The coal mine will be sent to various parts of Beiting in an endless stream of convoys to provide fuel for the coal-fired power plants and various steam-powered factories under the Xingliao Group. No one will ever remember the Reclamation Bureau's plan to "fill the granary".

This out-of-this-world idyll, the only one of exiles, is about to be crushed to pieces by the Empire's thriving industrial system, re-melted and forged into an inconspicuous screw on a vast machine.

The ancient sages pondered alone in the villages, temples and bamboo forests, and used their personal wisdom to indicate the spiritual destination of kings and people; Today's thinkers must blend in with the bustling cities, the never-ending factories, the crowded streets, because the truth is there, and the future is there!

In Daqi, everyone must find their own place, and no one is exempt. If you don't want to be left behind by the rushing country, you have to run hard and try to keep up. Even revolutionaries have to fight for their place in the system before they have a chance to speak.

That's it!

Wait patiently, just like the tiger lurking in the minions, waiting for the great development, waiting for the proletariat pouring into the wasteland, and then like a dragon entering the sea, blending into the masses of the people, finding the hidden spark, discovering the surging tide!

Just like Wu Rui said at a seminar on organizational construction: It is not that we want revolution, but that the people desire revolution! There is great power in this desire. Anyone who discovers this power has the responsibility to guide it to where it should be going most - to destroy an old world and build an ideal town!

Jin Tong also attended this meeting, and he rarely participated in such discussions, but this time he made a long speech.

"For more than a year, I haven't attended many meetings, but I still have a lot to think about in private," he said. After thinking about it, I felt that two things were the most important. The first is the building of grassroots organizations, and the second is cultural propaganda. So today, I'm not going to say anything else, just talk about these two things. ”

He said that with the development of imperial industry, the power of the urban working class grew extremely fast. But the establishment of one trade union after another did not lead the workers to the path of political rights, but was content to help them demand wages and negotiate for a small number of benefits.

Why? First, where the working class is strong, the bourgeoisie is more powerful and has a firm grip on the institutions of violence as rulers; Second, most of the trade unions are controlled by the Progressive Party, which is a plutocratic lackey and resolutely follows a reformist line.

What to do?

Hard resistance is not enough, it can only be detoured.

So, Jin Tong talked about the gap between urban and rural areas.

As the population grew, landless peasants poured into the cities, some of them were incorporated into the industrial system, and some of them migrated to the new territories and were absorbed by large agricultural companies, and the old lands of the Central Plains appeared to be relatively stable.

However, a closer look will show that Daqi's grain prices have remained low for decades, agricultural taxes and fees have become a heavy burden on yeoman farmers and small and medium-sized landlords, and the rural economy is not optimistic. Some alarmist newspapers even used the term "decaying countryside" to depict the vast fields of the empire.

The empire's governance of the countryside was very careless, and the work of the pavilion chief was nothing more than law enforcement and tax collection, and in addition, it was subject to self-government.

The "Great Rebellion Case" swept the "Township Sage" class, and now the "New Township Sage" has emerged again. All kinds of dynamic social groups, feudal sects, and new religions are mixed, and as long as they pay taxes honestly and do not openly oppose the laws of the country, no one will look for trouble.

In this way, the idea is clear.

The focus of the work is on the countryside, the vigorous development of communes and commune alliances (similar to the Israeli kibbutz, non-people's communes, mentioned above), the encirclement of the cities by the countryside, and then the peaceful evolution or violent revolution have the ground.

As for urban work, of course, it cannot be abandoned, but it is better to focus on propaganda and infiltration.

If you read more newspapers, you will find that trade unions are often reduced to the role of neutralizing labor conflicts, and once large-scale strikes and demonstrations are organized, they will be criticized by public opinion, some saying that they "do not understand the general situation", some saying that they "affect traffic", and some saying that they "hinder the economy......

In short, what can't be said well, do you have to make trouble? Ordinary workers have seen too much of this kind of propaganda, and they are afraid that they will admit that they have lost money.

Mainstream public opinion is controlled by the capitalists, and the proletariat lacks a voice.

Underground publications, illegal publications, cannot become a regular form of work. Therefore, we can only use the shell of "realism" to firmly develop "proletarian literature and art".

The most important thing here is the question of "why does literature and art serve". Jin Tong drew on the spirit of the "Yan'an Literature and Art Zuo Talk" to talk about "class" and "superclass".

He believes that some literary and artistic works do have a supra-class character, but most of them have a distinct class character. It's a simple question of which side the ass sits on.

From the standpoint of the proletariat, literature and art that serve the masses of the people are the literature and art that revolutionaries need the most, and they should be cultivated with great efforts.

Of course, his own butt is completely crooked many times, such as the unfinished "Darkest Night......

Jin Tong's speech was very long, two hours.

At first, everyone didn't care, but as he spoke more and more bluntly, everyone became more and more solemn.

Although there was a clerk for the meeting, everyone pulled out a small notebook and took notes.

Jin Tong's thinking is not very profound, and there are only two core viewpoints -- the countryside surrounding the city and proletarian literature and art.

However, due to the fact that he borrowed a lot from the expositions of a certain great man, and then added to it his thinking in combination with the historical reality of the world, although he did not dare to say that he was necessarily right, at least he would not be wrong to borrow from the great man.

Two hours of gushing suggestions, no matter what Wu Rui and the others think, Jin Tong has nothing to regret.

At that time, Ashku had already sent the news that the "medical parole" had been completed, and as long as someone sent the documents, Jin Tong would be able to return to society.

Despite too much hesitation and reluctance, he made a rational decision.

This was the last meeting he attended at the CPLM, and it was also the last meeting of the CPLM.

At the meeting, the Chinese Liberation Front officially came to an end, and the Chinese Commune Party ushered in a new life.

After the meeting ended, Wu Rui held Jin Tong's hands and stopped talking. The other party made this statement before leaving, and his intention was very clear.

In the end, all he said was "take care".

Two days later, Jin Tong left Mangai with his sister.

Just as the thief Yuan Wending said in his heart: he yearns for the enthusiasm and romance of the revolution, but he does not want to bear the hardships and difficulties of the revolution.

So that's all I can do -- "I will pass on what I know to you without reservation, and wish you a bright future." ”

Jin Tong only wanted peace of mind, and never thought about what impact the last speech would have on the revolutionaries.

He could not have imagined that this document, recorded as "Mr. J's Speech", would become one of the most important documents in the history of the revolution, and would become the most profound but also the least known imprint of his life experience.
