18. The country is gone, where is there a home?
Shi Sizhong was very speechless about the fact that those guys were still playing patriarchy at this time, and at this time it should be to let the best talents receive the best education, so as to ensure that everyone can have enough talents to use in the future. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But these guys are still those old-fashioned patriarchal ideas, and would rather send those stubborn boys with little qualifications to study abroad than give their female offspring to study, which is a complete manifestation of patriarchy.
And why did Mr. Wang allow his two daughters to study back then, in fact, his son died in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising in China, and after coming here, he only had two daughters. It is impossible for him to have a son, so he can naturally tolerate his daughter studying as an heir. But now these older generations are still seriously patriarchal, even if they would rather send their sons who are not carved to study abroad, they are not willing to give those girls a chance to study.
Although Shi Sizhong enjoys the importance of patriarchy everywhere, he can marry a pair of sisters at one time, and maybe even more women in the future. But he does not exclude women from receiving education, which is also where his thinking is more open. After all, in the next generation, let alone China, which country in the world does not want compulsory education, almost everyone with certain conditions will be engaged in compulsory education, and even many countries will engage in compulsory education even if they smash the pot and sell iron. In such a situation, both boys and girls are obliged to receive education, and the whole world is thinking like this, so he will not deny the right of girls to be educated. But these guys are really good and powerful, so Shi Sizhong is speechless.
"Guys, think clearly, how much will we waste if we let your uneducated sons go to school next? How much time do we waste to get them to learn well, and how much time do we waste? When the time comes, we will definitely lose a lot, will we procrastinate? Can we procrastinate? We don't have this time, and we don't have this time, and even one of you is at least fifty years old, and you have long passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, how much time do you have to delay? ”
"We're desperate to turn a minute into two minutes now, and you're here to deliberately delay our time? Wasting one's time is tantamount to chronic suicide. Wasting other people's time means killing people for money. You let those uneducated people go to study abroad, that is a waste of everyone's time, then this is a plot against everyone! Shi Sizhong said.
When those people of the older generation heard Shi Sizhong's words, they all accepted it a little. Because everyone is older, everyone has been here for more than 20 years, and naturally hopes to return to China as soon as possible. Once the ancient people reached the age of fifty, they could die at any time for various reasons. The average life expectancy of ancient people was shorter, and they were certainly afraid of this. They are afraid that when will they die in a foreign land, so they are really going to become barbarians for the rest of their lives, what face do they have to meet their ancestors?
However, some people still hesitated and said: "But a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, this is the teaching of the ancestors!" And if a girl is studying, she will still marry in the future, and she will not be able to inherit the family business at that time, so isn't this a big loss? When the time comes, once they get married, isn't it someone else's? ”
Shi Sizhong simply said: "You let the girl inherit the family business, so what's the matter? ”
When Shi Sizhong said this, everyone shook their heads, obviously this was even more unacceptable to everyone. In ancient times, the patriarchal mentality was so serious that it was even believed that only men could inherit the family business, which could not be changed in a while.
"No, how can you let a girl inherit the family business?" "Yes! If so, wouldn't it be the last one? "Well, if that's the case, is the family still a family?" "The so-called orderly, how can women be the masters of the house?" "Yes! If the girl is allowed to inherit the family business, won't the family not be a family? ”……
When everyone was talking, Shi Sizhong immediately opened a sentence and said, "The country is gone, do we still have a home?" ”
Shi Sizhong suddenly let out such a shout, and everyone immediately fell silent. Then everyone heard Shi Sizhong's words, "The country is gone, do we still have a home?" The words were suddenly silent. Because these people are all people who have no homeland and are adrift in foreign countries. Shi Sizhong once again talked about the sore spot in their hearts, which is their eternal sore spot. Sold to a foreign country by the Manchus, it was equivalent to exile. If it was in the past, at most it would be exiled to the frontier, exiled to the northeast of Xinjiang, and distributed to Ningguta. But now, they've been assigned, halfway around the world. As an ancient person, it is tragic to leave your hometown, let alone leave your motherland?
Even if they can't go back to their home now, they can't go back to their country, the Manchus regard them as rebels, if they dare to go back, then what awaits them is definitely the butcher's knife of the Manchus. Some countries cannot return and are forced to join foreign nationality, which for an ancient Chinese is "changing from summer to Yi", which is completely inconsistent with China's traditional culture. Even though they may be people from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they are deeply influenced by traditional thinking, and this kind of Chinese thinking has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even ordinary people regard foreign countries as barbarians, and becoming barbarians is the pain in everyone's heart.
But now Shi Sizhong said again, "The country is gone, they have no home", so that they immediately realized that they don't even have a "country", where is there still a "home"!
"Seniors, I do not deny the traditions left by our ancestors. But I have to say that the traditions left by our ancestors must now give way to our present realities! You stick to tradition, I have no way to interfere with this, and I can't interfere in your family's affairs. But I have to say that we should not be so 'feudal' at this time, we must think about our country. It's not wrong for you to be afraid of your home, but now that we don't even have a motherland, how can we survive? Everyone should know that the motherland is gone, does it make sense for us to say anything? We don't even have a motherland now, and you insist on these trite things, so what's the point? Shi Sizhong once again said with some hatred that iron does not become steel.
