The reason why Lin Zixuan launched an attack on Japanese yarn mills at this time is related to China's current attitude towards Japan.

When he was in the old house in Wuxi, he listened to his third uncle Lin Boren talk about the current situation in Beiping, one of which was that the Beiyang government was preparing to take back Dalian and Lushun from the Japanese.

Dalian and Lushun were forcibly leased by Russia in 1898 for a period of 25 years, which expired in 1923.

After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan defeated Russia and inherited this lease.

However, the Japanese were not satisfied with the 25-year lease period, and they wanted to hold these two strategically important military port cities in perpetuity.

In 1915, Japan forced Yuan Shikai's government to sign the "Twenty-One Articles", which was skillfully delayed by Yuan Shikai.

Under international pressure, Japan gave up some of its demands, and finally forced Yuan Shikai's government to sign a treaty backed by force, which is the so-called "Treaty of the Fourth Republic of China".

It stipulates that "the lease period of Luda and the management period of the South Manchurian and Anbong railways will be extended to 99 years".

With regard to the "Fourth Treaty of the People's Republic of China" signed under the threat of bayonets, starting with Yuan Shikai, successive Chinese governments have resolutely refused to recognize its legal effect.

At the end of 1922, before the expiration of the lease of the University, the Chinese House of Representatives and the Senate passed bills to reiterate the invalidity of the "Fourth Treaty of the People's Republic of China", which was supported by countless civil organizations and demanded that the Beiyang government negotiate with Japan as soon as possible and take back the University.

Although Lin Zixuan did not know the specific historical process, he knew that the Japanese would never give up Dalian and Lushun.

This negotiation is likely to lead to a major outbreak of tensions between China and Japan.

Sure enough, on March 10, 1923, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a note to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Minister to China, announcing the cancellation of the "Fourth Treaty of the People's Republic of China" and approaching the resumption of the lease upon expiration, but Japan refused.

The whole country was in an uproar.

On March 17, 1923, well-known people from all walks of life in Shanghai established the "National Diplomatic Conference with Japan", announcing that "Japan is still stubborn and unruly, that is, it will sever economic diplomatic relations".

On March 24, a "Shanghai Citizens' Conference on Diplomacy with Japan" was established, which was composed of 21 organizations, including the business federation of various sectors, the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, the Shanghai Student Federation, the All-China Student Federation, and the Shanghai Trade Union.

The whole country was electrified, and before the recovery of the brigade, the whole country broke off economic relations with Japan.

Because of his previous hardline attitude towards Japan, Lin Zixuan was elected as a member of the Shanghai Foreign Affairs Council with Japan.

He used his popularity to publish articles in major newspapers across the country and issue a declaration of severing diplomatic relations with the Japanese economy.

As a result, the severance of economic relations with Japan gradually swept the whole country, and was successively implemented in Shanghai, Beiping, Jinan, Hefei, Wuhan, Changsha, Xiamen and other places, and the scale became increasingly large.

This economic severance was not only a boycott of Japanese goods, but also a severance of all economic ties with the Japanese.

"Then all the undertakings of the Japanese in China should be disassociated with them. If you are not employed by a Japanese company, do not advertise in Japanese news, do not carry cargo on Japanese merchant ships, do not insure Japanese companies, do not deposit money with Japanese banks, do not accept Japanese banknotes, and do not go to Japanese hospitals for treatment. ”

As a result, the Japanese ghetto in Shanghai's Hongkou district became a quarantine area.

The originally lively Hongkou was deserted, like a ghost domain, and the Japanese hid in the public concession and did not dare to enter the Chinese realm.

Lin Zixuan understood that even then Japan would not return Dalian and Lushun, but at least let the Chinese people realize the wolf ambitions of the Japanese.

On March 28, representatives from all walks of life, including Japanese parliamentarians, businessmen, and university teachers, formed the National League against China.

He declared that "the University was won by the Japanese people from Russia with their blood, and no matter what the Chinese side does, the Japanese people will never be allowed to cancel the 21st Article in any situation." ”

From March to April, relations between the Chinese and the Japanese were extremely tense in Shanghai.

This is people-to-people diplomacy, that is, the diplomacy of national civil society.

In this turbulent era, Lin Zixuan was deeply infected.

The Lin family took the lead in organizing textile enterprises in Shanghai to accept workers who were unwilling to work in Japanese yarn factories and provide them with proper placement.

Shanghai's Vientiane Radio Station has become a propaganda tool, and every day it will preach the policy of severing diplomatic relations with Japan, which is a national mobilization.

However, although this is a big event, ordinary days still have to be passed.

The good news is that the American Ausborne finally can't hold on, his embezzlement of public funds is discovered, and the American Oriental Radio Company wants to transfer him out of Shanghai and go back to be investigated.

He found Lin Zixuan and wanted to transfer the radio in his hand to Lin Zixuan at a low price, as long as the cost price was fine.

The cost price quoted by Osbang was 50 silver dollars, Lin Zixuan was extremely speechless, this guy is a businessman, and his bad habits will not change.

In the end, Osterbon sold the radio for 30 yuan, and also transferred his shares in the radio station to Lin Zixuan, and embarked on a cruise back to the United States with remorse.

Another thing is the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Lin Zixuan is preparing to shoot in three films, namely "Iron Blood Pill Heart", "East Evil and West Poison" and "Huashan on the Sword".

Like "Journey to the West", he just shoots movies as TV series.

Audiences during the Republic of China were already very satisfied to see this kind of TV series, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was popular all over the beach, and since the Star Film Company announced the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the newspapers have been arguing about it.

Every reader has a pretty Huang Rong in their minds.

Therefore, the key character of this movie is Huang Rong.

Yin Mingzhu is beautiful, but not eccentric enough, she is suitable for that kind of elegant and generous role, not to mention that she took over another movie by Dan Du Yu.

Ruan Lingyu is too young, and it will be about the same in two years, Lin Zixuan thought about it, only Meng Xiaodong is more suitable.

Since Meng Xiaodong left the Mingyue Song and Dance Troupe, he has concentrated on the development of Peking Opera, and has performed in Shanghai Great World almost every week.

Although she is not as famous as the real Peking Opera actors in terms of fame, because she has the identity of a popular singer, she is on par with those famous actors in popularity.

In the French Concession, there is Lin Zixuan in the background, and no one dares to provoke her.

Even if there are any ideas from the foreign field, they will be reminded and dissuaded.

After all, in the rumors, Meng Xiaodong is a woman who Lin Zixuan came out, Lin Zixuan is not terrible, Feng Jingyao is terrible, unless the power behind you is big enough, it is better to make less trouble.

Meng Xiaodong also knows the reason.

Lin Zixuan once said that he would not let her drink with the guests or sing in the hall, and Lin Zixuan did it.

This time, Lin Zixuan asked her to play Huang Rong, and she agreed without thinking about it, in short, this man would not lie to her.

After the news of Meng Xiaodong playing Huang Rong came out, the audience was very much looking forward to it.

Meng Xiaodong's fame is big enough, and his appearance is beautiful enough, which is enough.

This is the beginning of the transformation of a singer into a movie star, and there will be many singers who sing and act in the future.
