Chapter 180: The Jews

The song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" was only sung in English once for the rest of his life, and then the curtain came down. Hollywood bigwigs, including Meyer, Albert and Howard, are in a cold sweat. Then, the choir composed of the employees of the Qingyu Chinese Restaurant, which had been resting for a while, took the stage again.

This time, the direction of the song is very clear. The first song is "Loyal to the Country", which became famous for the rest of his life! Although this song was a solo repertoire in later generations, after inviting a few musicians to use its main theme and modify it into a choral song, it became even more imposing!

"The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north! The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost! The heart is like the water of the Yellow River, twenty years, between vertical and horizontal, who can resist! ”

"Hatred, long knives, how many siblings are buried in their bones! What a pity to die to repay the family and country, endure sighing, even more speechless, blood and tears! ”

"The horse's hooves go south, and the people look north! People look north, the grass is green and yellow, and the dust is flying! I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory, and China wants to let the Quartet come to congratulate! ”

In fact, since ancient times, the great trouble of the Chinese is not the Japanese, who have been a small island country for thousands of years, but the natural enemy of agricultural civilization, the nomads on the northern grasslands. In the age of cold weapons, the most powerful type of army was cavalry, and this nomadic people who lived on horseback had a natural advantage.

Throughout the history of Chinese civilization, almost every major turning point in civilization is because of the southward invasion of northern nomads. Although these ethnic groups were eventually assimilated by the extremely inclusive Han nation, the former chaos and white bones also made later generations sigh when they looked at the annals of history. Only the strongest Han and Tang dynasties have the strength to completely eliminate the great calamity in the north.

The image of this poem "Serving the Country with Loyalty" is based on the most powerful dynasty in ancient China. So. Only then can there be words and phrases to defend the territory and open up the territory, and the Quartet congratulates.

And such a dynasty is simply where the spirit and pride of the Chinese lie. Whenever it is mentioned, there will always be a pride that has been passed down for thousands of years. Even in the troubled times when the mountains and rivers are broken, this is the same. The United States, on the other hand, has a history of less than 200 years, and it does not have this kind of accumulation and feeling at all.

Therefore, when this song "Loyal to the Country" was sung by these people in China, all the Americans present found that these inconspicuous Chinese faces. There is an indescribable brilliance and pride. Only those who are familiar with history know that more than 100 years before China's modern era sank, he was the world's leader for thousands of years......

After "Serving the Country with Loyalty", the rest of his life arranged a sword combination for the choir. said that if you want to serve the country loyally, you must always pick up the sword and defend the country. Therefore, after "Loyal to the Country", the choir first sang "March of the Big Knife", which is commonly known as "The Big Knife Cuts Off the Heads of the Devils!" 》

"The big knife slashes at the heads of the devils! Brothers armed throughout the country! The day of the War of Resistance has come, the day of the War of Resistance has come! In front of you are the Volunteers of the Northeast. There are the people of the whole country behind us, and our army and people will unite and march forward bravely, see the enemy, and destroy him. Wipe him out! Come on! The big knife slashed at the devil's head. Kill! The big knife slashes at the heads of the devils! ”

Subsequently, he sang the theme song "Chinese Army Soul" of the TV series "Bright Sword" brought by Yu Sheng from later generations. Although this song was composed in the peacetime of later generations, the majestic and fearless manliness in it is not inferior to the popular anti-Japanese war songs of this era. Moreover. The whole song is not long, and the whole sound is like a roar!

"If the motherland is violated, hot-blooded men should be self-reliant. Drink this bowl of hometown wine. Gone are the strong men. The rolling Yellow River, the surging Yangtze River, give me life, give me strength, and let the blood stain the most beautiful flowers and sprinkle them on my chest. The red flag fluttered, the military horn sounded (bright), the sword was unsheathed, and the thunder and lightning flashed. It has always been a narrow road where the brave wins, forward, forward, forward, forward...... The red flag fluttered, the military horn sounded (bright), the sword was unsheathed, and the thunder and lightning flashed. It has always been a narrow road where the brave wins, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward...... The soul of the Chinese army! ”

By this time, the charity gala was almost over, and the donation box was basically stuffed. Yu Sheng and his team, in addition to sending people to maintain order at the venue, he, Qing Xiaoyi and Huang Zongzhan have already begun to count the belongings in the donation box.

Of course, the main person who counts things is Qing Xiaoyi. Yu Sheng and Huang Zongzhan were not careful enough, and after Qing Xiaoyi took charge of the Qingyu Chinese Restaurant, she already had the momentum of a housekeeper's wife, counting banknotes and checks, and her subordinates were fast. And there will be no calculation errors or omissions. It is far from being comparable to the two big men of Yu Sheng and Huang Zongzhan.

The two big men took the place of Qing Xiaoyi's work, stood next to the donation box, distributed thank-you notes to the people who put checks or banknotes in the donation box, and thanked them in person with a smile on their faces. Huang Zongzhan is in Hollywood, and he is far more familiar than the rest of his life. Therefore, more than half of the people who came to donate were known to him. The other half he doesn't know can quickly climb into a relationship after a few words of conversation. After all, this circle is just so big, everyone looks down and doesn't look up, and there will always be some involvement.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean head walked over with a smile on his face and threw a check into the donation box. The rest of his life has sharp eyes and can see clearly, and the check says five million dollars! The rest of his life was shocked, this is already a veritable huge amount of money, according to his estimates, the rest of the money donated by the rest of the people is not as much as this check! However, the check fell too quickly, and the man's name was too long and in flower font, and he didn't see it clearly for the rest of his life.

Yu Sheng hurriedly thanked him and was respectful. And the white man in front of him seems to be very familiar with Chinese etiquette. actually gave his hand in return, and the hand was not wrong. Huang Zongzhan seemed to know the man in front of him, but he was not very familiar with it.

When Yu Sheng was about to ask the man's name, but the man couldn't shirk it and was about to leave, Huang Zongzhan suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "Aren't you Mr. Rothschild?" ”

The man stopped to leave, and said in surprise, "You know me?" ”

It turned out that Huang Zongzhan didn't really know this man, and he hadn't even said a word before. It's just that when I participated in a high-level cocktail party, I met from afar. The companion who was talking to Huang Zongzhan with a champagne glass told Huang Zongzhan with reverence on his face that this man was from the Rothschild family.

For the rest of his life, when he heard the name Rothschild, he was also a little confused, and this name was a myth and legend in the financial world of later generations. Although this man's bearing is not ordinary, he never thought that the Rothschild family would come to his charity party and donate money to himself for the rest of his life. This was so unexpected!

But. Calm down a little and think about it, but there is some truth to it. Although the Rothschilds were strong, in World War II they did not have any advantage, they were Jews.

The Jews originated from the ancient Semites, who were nomadic in the Euphrates River in the 13th century BC. In the 12th century B.C., it entered the area of present-day Palestine. The Old Testament of the Bible as practiced by the Jews is not much different from the Old Testament of the Bible as practiced by later Christianity. The difference is between the doctrines of the New Testament and the Old Testament.

According to the Old Testament, the distant ancestors of the Jews were named Abraham. In Arabic, the man's name is pronounced Ibrahim, who originally lived near the Sumerian empire of your. According to the Bible and the Qur'an, this man had two sons, Isaac, the youngest son of his wife, who was the ancestor of the Jews, and Ismaili, the eldest son of his maid Hagar, who was the ancestor of the Arabs.

In terms of blood and origin, the two races that fought to the death in later generations. Actually, an ancestor. Two of the world's three major religions, Christianity and Islam, plus Judaism as practiced by Jews, were used by many experts and scholars. Divided into one, the Abrahamic lineage......

The Jews were not very powerful in ancient times, and after fleeing to Egypt due to famine, they were first enslaved by the Egyptians. Subsequently. Although Moses led him to flee to present-day Palestine, it was only a few hundred years. The two kingdoms established by the Jews were destroyed by the Assyrians and then by the ancient Babylonians.

Although the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem after the Persians exterminated ancient Babylon, Jerusalem was soon conquered by the Romans due to Jewish opposition to the Romans. The Jewish temple was also demolished by the Romans. From then on, the Jews began to go into exile all over the earth. It was not until after World War II that Fang Shi established the country again.

The relationship between Jews and Chinese has a long history, dating back to ancient times. Not to mention business dealings, in terms of immigrants alone, China is one of the most comfortable places for Jewish immigrants to stay. When the Jews wandered around the world, it was inevitable that some ethnic groups would enter China. In later generations, the most well-preserved Chinese Jewish Han community was in Kaifeng, Henan. Known as Kaifeng Jews.

This Jewish ethnic group arrived in China during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty. Because the Chinese did not have the anti-Semitic tradition of Western countries at that time, it was also a rare peach blossom source for these Jews. Therefore, after a long period of wandering, this part of the Jews changed from business to settlement. Not only did they not suffer any discrimination, but some of their descendants also joined the court as officials and lived a very nourishing life.

And I have to say that the assimilation ability of Chinese culture is incredibly strong. The Jews of this ethnic group, after a long period of adherence to their own teachings, were eventually assimilated by Chinese culture. Not only is eating meat no longer picking tendons, pork is no longer taboo, and there are even monks who are monks. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, no one in this Jewish community could speak Hebrew anymore, and they were completely assimilated.

Although, in the late Qing Dynasty, after China was forced to open its doors, this part of the Jewish ethnic group, which had been assimilated by Chinese culture, attracted the attention of Jews. The Jews also have the Law of Return for the people in the diaspora, but this part of the Jewish community, which has been assimilated, has lost the possibility of reconverting to Judaism. In 1914, the Kaifeng Jewish community sold the title deed of the synagogue to the Anglican Church of Canada, and the money obtained was used for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

At this point, the Chinese Jewish Aid Society, which was established in Shanghai in 1900, completely ceased its activities to help them restore their faith. And in the thousands of years of wandering of the Jews, this is the only case of assimilation by the local ethnic group.

Of course, this process of assimilation took place in ancient China. The mass entry of Jews into China was after 1840, when the British, believing that they had opened a trade route into China, were dreaming of dumping their own goods. In England, among the top merchants, there were many Jews. These Jewish businessmen flocked to Shanghai, where they formed a community of Sephardic Jews.

With the power of money, these Jewish merchants were very beautiful. Even in the Merchant of Nations, there was a small armed force at their disposal.

Then, when the countries of Europe realized that most of their financial lifeblood was in Jewish hands, a wave of anti-Semitism began in Europe, not only of the Germans who would later cause the Holocaust, but also of Russia and many European countries. Even in 1939, the Americans refused to dock the steamer St. Louis, which was carrying 900 German Jewish refugees.

Even in the colonies of these European powers, there was a wave of anti-Semitism. At this time, there is only one place where there is no wave of anti-Semitism, and that is China! So, a large number of Jews arrived in China from Northeast China or Shanghai. In addition to the northeast, Shanghai became an important Jewish area.

However, the number of Jews arriving in China at this time was still small. It was the outbreak of World War II that really led to the mass migration of Jews. and the murder and rejection of the Jews by Hitler and the Germans. Beginning in 1933, a large number of Jews arrived in Shanghai. The total number of people is more than 30,000!

In addition to the thousands of them who traveled through China to the United States, Canada, Australia, India, New Zealand and other countries, more than 25,000 Jews were stranded on the beach. Of the 30,000 people who arrived in China, thousands were granted visas by He Fengshan, the Chinese consul general in Vienna.

When He Fengshan served as the Chinese Consul General in Vienna, it was from 1938 to 1940. This period was the most difficult time for the Jews in Europe. Germany under Hitler gradually expanded, annexing almost all of Europe. And everywhere in Europe, Jews were basically sent to concentration camps if they were discovered by the Germans. When a sheep enters the mouth of a tiger, the consequences can be imagined. (To be continued.) )
