This is the office of Qu Qiubai, head of the Department of Sociology at Shanghai University, and there are five people in it.

Including Qu Qiubai, Xiang Jingyu's husband Cai Hesen, Liu Hua, Deng Zhongxia and the Hunan man who just spoke.

In the eyes of these people, Lin Zixuan is the kind of rich young master who doesn't know the hardships of the people, and what he writes is either a martial arts novel for entertainment and pastime, or a Western novel that reflects American life.

Lin Zixuan's ordinary remarks also represent the interests of the bourgeoisie, and he once signed the "good government" proposed by Hu Shi, which has long been classified into the category of bourgeois reformists.

"He promised to help with the publicity, but he would not participate in the strike." Xiang Jingyu replied.

"That's nature, capitalists, how can they oppose themselves." Liu Hua said sarcastically.

Liu Hua came to Shanghai in 1920 as an apprentice at the Printing Office of Zhonghua Book Company, and in 1923, he entered the Central School Attached to Shanghai University as a part-time worker.

"It's a pity, he has a lot of propaganda tools at his disposal, just the radio station can play a huge role, if he can lean towards us, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Qu Qiubai said with regret.

"Mr. Lin taught a semester of writing at Shanghai University, and I worked with him." Zheng Zhongxia recalled, "He seems to be deliberately avoiding politics, just wanting to be a simple literati. ”

"I'm afraid not necessarily, he returned to China for three years, founded a bookstore, filmed films, wrote books and said, his reputation became more and more famous, his influence became greater and greater, and he put forward a new proposition in Beiping a few days ago, which is not something that a simple literati would do." Cai Hesen guessed.

"I've read this gentleman's proposition, 'The Third Way,' and this is a neutral route." The man with a Hunan accent pondered. But in today's China, his path doesn't work. We have to stick to our own path. ”

This was the end of the discussion about Lin Zixuan, and they talked about other things.

From 1924 onwards. Shanghai University has opened compulsory night schools for civilians, and has also set up cram schools in yarn factories in western Shanghai.

Go deep into the factories and spread their ideas among the mill workers to create the conditions for a strike.

A strike is a systematic project, and it is not just a matter of shouting a few slogans, it requires adequate preparation, and acting in haste will only lead to failure.

Shanghai has the largest number of female workers in the textile industry, and is the most severely exploited, which is relatively easy to convince. But how tens of thousands of female workers can ensure one heart requires excellent appeal and organizational skills.

Strikes are a game of trade.

Once there is a strike, the female workers have no income, and their families still need money to live, which cannot last, and they can hold on for a week, but they may not be able to hold on for a month.

How to solve the worries of female workers and appease their emotions are all issues that need to be seriously studied.

The general means of doing this is to organize mutual aid associations. Female workers help each other to tide over difficulties.

We will also raise a relief fund to help female workers who are particularly in difficulty, so as to calm people's hearts. Otherwise, the disunity of the people is the biggest reason for the failure of the strike.

This is an internal-specific strategy.

Externally, it is necessary to strive for vigorous publicity from the media. Gain broad support from all walks of life and put pressure on factory owners.

It is also necessary to guard against counterattacks and repression by the factory owners and the concession authorities.

A successful strike requires meticulous investigation upfront. Thorough preparation, sound negotiation tactics and determination to sacrifice.

Xiang Jingyu and Cai Hesen had this experience while studying in France. The French have a tradition of strikes.

The meeting ended and they left.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiang returned to No. 318 Jiaxiuli, Muerming Road, a typical Shanghai Shikumen building, in the Public Concession, with the man with a Hunan accent.

They are neighbors who claim to be a family.

At the same time, Tagore and Xu Zhimo returned to Shanghai.

Prior to this, Tagore also went to Shanxi to discuss the topic of philosophy with the Shanxi warlord Yan Xidan.

Tagore's departure was much bleaker than the sensation he had when he arrived in Shanghai, and on the whole it was not a successful visit, and he inadvertently became involved in the strife of Chinese thought.

After Lin Zixuan left Beiping, Tagore's speech in Beiping did not go smoothly and was obstructed by many young students.

For this reason, Xu Zhimo was extremely angry and unwilling to translate the remarks of those young people.

Hu Shi stood up, spoke up, reprimanded the young man's rude behavior, and replaced Xu Zhimo as Tagore's continued translator.

Although he did not agree with Tagore's views, he would not be like such a young man to drive people away, at least to the extent that he was a landlord.

Perhaps Zhou Zuoren's view is more calm.

On May 14, Zhou Zuoren published an article entitled "'Adult Harm' and Others" in the supplement of the "Morning Post", stating that he "will not join in the opposition or welcome" of Tagore's visit to China and his speech.

Because he felt that the friendship of the landlords should be welcomed.

It would be unfair to borrow his old man's sign to sell metaphysics, and as for the opposition of those who support science, although his ambition is commendable, he is also a little nervous.

The rights and wrongs surrounding Tagore's visit to China have finally come to an end.

On May 30, 1924, Tagore left Shanghai and returned to India via Japan.

Xu Zhimo accompanied Tagore to Japan and sent the Indian poet to Hong Kong, when Xu Zhimo asked Tagore if he had left anything behind.

"My heart has fallen on China." Rabindranath Tagore said.

However, Chen Duxiu did not give up the attack because of Tagore's departure, and he began to settle accounts after the autumn.

On June 1, he published an article under a pseudonym entitled "Sending Tagore -- and Comforting the Frustrated Hospitality Gentlemen", comparing Hu Shi and Lin Zixuan with Zhang Junmao, Xu Zhimo and others.

He scolded the scholars who hosted Tagore in China, especially Hu Shi, who he believed was not firm in his position.

This may have been the beginning of the break between the two new literary enlighteners.

Lin Zixuan didn't have any idea about Chen Duxiu piggybacking on him, and he didn't even have the idea of fighting back, because there was no need, Tagore was gone, what should the Chinese do.

History will give a fair assessment of what is happening today.

His current focus is on Feng Chengcheng, he doesn't pay much attention to the outside world, and he is too lazy to fight, that is, he only knows when he mentions it when a friend visits.

June is Feng Chengcheng's due date, and the family is quite arguing over whether to ask a midwife to deliver the baby or go to the hospital to give birth.

Although the medical level of Shanghai hospitals in this era is worrying, Lin Zixuan still believes that the hospital, the midwife feels too unreliable, and if something goes wrong, it will be too late to send it to the hospital.

So since June, Feng Chengcheng has been living in the Guangci Hospital in the French Concession.

This is a hospital founded by the French Catholic Church, which is very famous in Shanghai, which is later known as Shanghai Ruijin Hospital.

On June 7, Feng Chengcheng was pushed into the delivery room.

Lin Zixuan was waiting outside the delivery room, Lin Boqing and Feng Jingyao were also sitting on chairs and waiting anxiously, and Feng Jingyao's men were patrolling the hospital, attracting many people's attention.

It seemed that it didn't take long, and it seemed that a long time had passed, that Lin Zixuan heard the cry of a baby in the delivery room.

His hanging heart finally fell. (To be continued.) )
