Mr. Zhang currently lives in Berkeley, Calif., where he served as superintendent of Chinese naval students.

Lin Zixuan remembered that he came to the United States to fight a lawsuit in high spirits, and if it were not for Zhang Kangren's help, he might have to take a lot of detours and pay a large amount of tuition fees to American lawyers.

In the past few years, they have not been closely connected, after all, they are too far apart, and they don't have much contact.

But he will not forget this friendship, this is an old man worthy of respect.

got Zhang Kangren's address in California, Lin Zixuan took Lin Xiaoling to California to visit Zhang Kangren.

He knew that Zhang Kangren had heart disease and had been on medication, but as he grew older, his health was not as good as before, he reduced his social activities, and spent most of his time recuperating at home.

Zhang Kangren was quite surprised by Lin Zixuan's arrival.

At the beginning, he helped Lin Zixuan because he wanted to use Lin Zixuan's lawsuit to improve the situation of Chinese in the United States, which can be said to be selfish.

Now Lin Zixuan's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and he has been reported by mainstream media in the United States, becoming the pride of the Chinese.

In the Chinese community in the United States, there are many more Chinese who know Lin Zixuan than those who know the warlord leaders in China, and they think that Lin Zixuan represents China.

Zhang Kangren couldn't imagine the heights that Lin Zixuan would reach in the future.

As Time magazine put it, this Chinese writer is still too young and has a bright future ahead of him.

He asked Lin Zixuan to meet with the Chinese living in the United States and say something encouraging.

Just like the article "I Have a Dream" written to black people, it can inspire Chinese Americans to continue to fight for their own survival rights in the United States.

And not only for this generation of Chinese. And also for their children and grandchildren.

No one wants their children to live in a discriminatory environment and not be able to naturalize. Become a second-class citizen, so even if you know that there is little hope. And they have to stick with it, too.

Zhang Kangren will never forget that early morning, the six of them took turns to read "I Have a Dream", and the voice echoed in the room, impassioned.

At that moment, he felt that he was so close to his dream, it seemed to be within reach.

However, several years passed, and the status of the Chinese in the United States still did not improve, but he never gave up.

Lin Zixuan's news reported by the mainstream media in the United States has greatly encouraged Chinese Americans. The United States, which does not live in this era, cannot understand the feelings of the Chinese.

Lin Zixuan agreed, this was a request he couldn't refuse.

He remembered that because of World War II, the United States needed China as an ally, and the U.S. government repealed the Chinese Exclusion Act at the expense of China.

Although discrimination against Chinese people is still widespread in American society, it is difficult for Chinese people to enter the mainstream society in the United States, but it has finally given Chinese hope to the Chinese people.

That was twenty years later, though.

At this time. China was still in a period of warlord warfare, Duan Qirui's government recognized a series of unequal treaties signed with Western powers, and negotiations on the May Day Massacre were inconclusive.

This is the best proof that a weak country has no diplomacy.

Only when the country is strong can the rights and interests of overseas Chinese be better protected.

Before that. Lin Zixuan can not do much, he can only comfort and encourage overseas Chinese with words.

Zhang Kangren was quite influential among the Chinese in the United States, and he and Lin Zixuan came to New York. In New York's Chinatown, representatives of Chinese living in New York were gathered.

They have business elites. But most of them are engaged in business activities at the bottom of society, and there are also gang members and labor representatives.

Lin Zixuan communicated with them. He gave a lecture in a small theater and was attended by hundreds of Chinese living in New York.

The title of his speech was "My Chinese Dream".

He put forward the concept of the "Chinese Dream", the so-called Chinese Dream, which is to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

We have a history of 5,000 years of civilization and a glorious ancient civilization, and we are not inferior to any nation in this world, but more noble than them.

We are the descendants of the dragon, after a hundred years of humiliation, the people of the country have gradually awakened, no longer a sleeping lion, to be slaughtered, and will eventually become a soaring dragon.

To achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it is not simply to regain its former glory, but to make China, which has been bullied by foreign powers, even stronger.

If the country is not rich and strong, it will be bullied; If the nation is not revived, it will have no shame to be the successor of the dragon.

This Chinese dream may require the joint efforts of a generation, or even several generations, and every Chinese will need to make their own contribution, but it will eventually be realized.

Remember, we have a common name called China and we have a common ancestor called Yanhuang.

At the end of the speech, Lin Zixuan thought about the current situation of China in this era, thought about the humiliation suffered by this country, and looked at the Chinese below, some of them were excited, a little confused, and some were disapproving.

It is the young people who are excited, they still have a lot of enthusiasm and are easy to be impressed.

Confused are middle-aged people, who have experienced all kinds of social injustices, and begin to wonder if China will really be able to become strong in the future.

Most of the people who don't think about it are the elderly, who have seen too many tragedies and have long been accustomed to and numb.

Lin Zixuan understood that this speech might not have achieved the desired effect.

It is of little use to shout empty slogans and give them hope that they will not know when it will be realized, and they also expect China to be strong, but the reality is often disappointing.

When Sun Zhongshan came to the United States to raise funds to overthrow the Qing government and establish a new Republic of China, they gave great support.

Now that the Qing government has long been overthrown, and the Republic of China has been established for 14 years, the warlords in the country are still fighting, and their situation has not improved, or even worsened.

When Lin Zixuan communicated with them just now, the most asked question was the domestic environment.

When will the civil war be stopped, the country will be reunified, and the country will be enriched and the army will be strengthened?

He couldn't answer.

In the end, Lin Zixuan decided to end this speech in a special way, and he was going to sing a song.

"The rivers and mountains are only in my dreams, and the motherland has not been close for many years, but no matter what, it can't change my Chinese heart. Although I wear a dress, my heart is still Chinese, and my ancestors have already branded everything I have with a Chinese seal. ”

"The Yangtze River, the Great Wall, the Yellow Mountain, and the Yellow River weigh a thousand pounds in my heart, no matter when, no matter where, my heart is as close as ever. The blood flowing in my heart, surging with the voice of China, even if I am in another country, I can't change my Chinese heart. ”

At this moment, Lin Zixuan sang this song "My Chinese Heart" with great emotion.

The Chinese below originally didn't know what Lin Zixuan was going to do, but listening to this song, they slowly felt uncomfortable in their hearts, and tears flowed involuntarily.

This song sang the hearts of overseas Chinese, and many Chinese sang along.

Zhang Kangren looked at Lin Zixuan and was excited.

Lin Zixuan's Chinese dream is very good, but it is still far from overseas Chinese.

This song is sung to the hearts of overseas Chinese, although they are far away from their homeland, they have never forgotten the land that haunts their dreams, and they all have a Chinese heart. (To be continued.) )
