Chapter 154: The Motherland
There are two flowers, one on each branch. In 1938, the Japanese army had not yet occupied Hong Kong, and the route from San Francisco to Hong Kong of Pan Am was still operating normally, Qin Tianlong took a flight from Hong Kong to San Francisco as he wished, and after a short stay in Honolulu (Hawaii) in the United States, the flight arrived in San Francisco, the United States.
San Francisco is the name of the Chinese, the official name of the United States is San Francisco, is a famous tourist city in California, is one of the largest concentrations of Chinese in the United States at that time, with many Chinese laborers with the dream of Jinshan.
San Francisco is located on the western Pacific coast of the United States, and Qin Tianlong's destination Preston is located in New Jersey on the eastern Pacific coast of the United States.
Qin Tianlong sat on the bus to the train station, looking at the beautiful neighborhoods outside the window, the prosperous and clean streets, the unique European architecture, and the leisurely pedestrians, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
At dusk, Greenstone Avenue is full of pedestrians, and the dazzling neon signs can't wait to start attracting the attention of pedestrians. Two old-dressed Chinese people looked around excitedly, looking at all kinds of people around them, the dazzling array of goods in the store, and the smell of food wafting from the restaurant not far away.
The two couldn't resist the temptation, they couldn't help but "coo", swallowed their saliva, and the younger Chinese guy showed an undisguised look of greed on his face, and touched his pocket, which contained a month's salary he had just paid.
''Ah Shui, do you want to go to the restaurant?'' Another Chinese joked.
Ah Shui nodded involuntarily, then shook his head resolutely, and his right hand clenched the salary in his pocket tightly.
''You're right, why are you spending that unjust money?'' Another Chinese said as a matter of course; ''In my opinion, let's go to Maria Street, where there are beautiful women, thin and fat, the choice is yours. ‘’
Ah Shui was angry and funny, and said unconvinced; ''Ah Yin, why did I spend money in vain when I ate?'' Is everyone like you? Every paycheck money is spent on prostitutes?''
''You know a fart?'' People are not romantic, nor are they in vain to come to this world for a trip, let alone the coquettish golden silk cat? It's worth the money, don't you think? Ah Yin said confidently.
Ah Shui glanced at Ah Yin and said; ''You always have something to say, I can't talk about you.'' ‘’
Ah Yin said with a grin; "Life has its own truth, justice is in people's hearts, that's how it is." ‘’
''Why do you look for Susan every time?'' Is Susan that charming? Ah Shui asked curiously.
No, the main thing is that she doesn't look down on us Chinese laborers. Ah Yin sighed and said with a frown.
While talking, the two unconsciously walked to the railway station square, where the flow of people shuttled, lively and extraordinary, both passengers in a hurry, as well as citizens walking and leisurely here, naughty children playing around the fountain, innocent children's voices echoing over the square from time to time.
When the train station arrived, the bus stopped, Qin Tianlong took his luggage, got off the train in a hurry, and walked through the square to the train station.
''Girls, gentlemen, compatriots, please stop your hurried steps and listen to the heartfelt cry and call of a Chinese from across the ocean. Suddenly, there was a sound transmitted by a loudspeaker in the square, Qin Tianlong, who was hurrying, looked up suspiciously, and saw several Chinese young men and women in front of him on his left, a Chinese man in his twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, standing on a stone bench and talking through a loudspeaker.
Although the young man spoke English, Qin Tianlong knew at a glance that they were Chinese and his compatriots, and he was slightly curious in his heart, so he walked over, looking at the excitement is the favorite of the Chinese people, Ah Shui and A Yin were naturally attracted to it, and other people in the square were also curious, and they all surrounded it, and suddenly the three layers around the Chinese young men and women were crowded with people watching the excitement.
''Thank you, thank you, thank you. The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was in high spirits for a while, and thanked him repeatedly.
''Girls, gentlemen, we Chinese, like everyone else, love peace and yearn for peace, but there is a bandit in our eastern part of China, this bandit is called Japan, this bandit first invaded northeast China in 1931 and established the puppet Manchukuo controlled by the Japanese, and later, they engaged in this and that autonomy in North China in a vain attempt to split China, and last year, this greedy bandit created the Lugou Bridge Incident in Beiping, took the initiative to provoke a war, and then they successively increased their troops in Shanghai and Hangzhou BayWhat is shocking is that this bandit called Japan ignored international law and human morality, and carried out inhumane massacres, forcible massacres, robberies, arson, and other acts against the Chinese people and the captives of the Chinese army, especially for the people of Nanjing, and the crimes committed by the Japanese were even more inhumane. The young man waved his arms and looked sad and angry, and the more he spoke, the more agitated he became.
The man took a handful of papers from the hand of his companion next to him, held it high, and said loudly; Mr. Rabe, an American citizen in Nanjing, risked his life to photograph the crimes committed by the Japanese army with his sincerity and bravery, and exposed the ugly and brutal true face of the Japanese fascists with a fearless spirit. ‘’
Several young Chinese men and women quickly distributed the paper in their hands to the onlookers.
''Oh my God, how can these Japanese do this?''
''No, God, I can't believe my eyes. ‘’
''Are these Japanese devils?''
''May God punish them.'' ‘’
、、、、、、、、、、、、、
The crowd of onlookers suddenly stirred up and condemned the crimes of the Japanese beasts.
"Girls, gentlemen, our people are struggling under the iron hooves of the Japanese fascists, bleeding, displaced, hungry, our army is fighting bravely against these inhumane invaders, lovely soldiers use their blood, with their young lives to defend their homeland, however, our country is still very poor, unable to take care of these helpless people in the war, unable to buy guns and ammunition. Please stretch out your warm hands to help a country that is full of disasters, even if it is a cup of coffee, a glass of milk, a piece of chocolate money, we Chinese people will remember it. ‘’
Several young men and women stood around the young man who was talking, holding several donation boxes in their hands. The onlookers were sympathetic and generous, stepped forward and put the money in the donation box.
''Thank you, thank you, God will bless your 、、、、、、'' the young man said politely.
Qin Tianlong stepped forward without hesitation, grabbed a handful of oceans from his pocket and threw them into the box.
''Mom, I have thirty cents, can I go and donate too?'' A little blonde girl in the crowd looked up, looked at her mother, and asked innocently.
''Oh, baby, it's your own money, of course.'' But you can also use the money to buy chocolates, buy cakes. A young American mom said with a smile on her face.
The little girl shook her head, and with a childish face, she said seriously; ''I'm not hungry, Mom, those Japanese are so bad, I want to help the Chinese go and spank their ass.'' ‘’
''Little baby, don't swear, okay, since you're going to donate, go ahead.'' Mom smiled.
The little girl shouted for joy, slipped through the crowd, and threw her only thirty cents into the fund-raising box with her immature little hands.
''Thank you, thank you for this lovely little girl, you are amazing. The young Chinese man said approvingly.
Ah Yin held his month's salary tightly in his right hand, his face changed, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, suddenly gritted his teeth, separated the crowd, strode towards the donation box, took out his monthly salary, took out one, and threw all the rest into it, thought about it, and threw the only remaining one into it.
''Thank you, thank you for the generosity of this compatriot. ‘’
Ah Shui looked at Ah Yin's actions in surprise, with an incredible expression on his face, and said in amazement; ''Ah Yin, are you crazy?'' That's a month's salary, and you're not going to go to your Susan? ‘’
''When the national crisis is at hand, our motherland is bleeding, where do I still have that kind of thought?'' Ah Yin said gloomily.
"Then you don't want to invest all of your monthly salary, you can save a little bit." Ah Shui said puzzled.
"No, if I donate a penny more, maybe I can buy one more bullet and kill one more Japanese devil." Ah Yin said silently. (To be continued.) )
