Chapter 147: A New Year

Xu Wenqiang, a former student at Yenching University, was a patriotic young man who was arrested and imprisoned for three years for participating in demonstrations in May 1919.

This time his release was related to the civil war of the Beiyang government.

In April 1922, the first warlord war broke out between the Feng and the direct line.

Wu Peifu, a direct warlord supported by Britain and the United States, joined forces with the warlords of the six provinces to attack Liang Shiyi's cabinet for flattering and betraying the country, forcing Liang Shiyi to resign.

On May 5, the Japanese-backed Feng warlord Zhang Zuolin was defeated and withdrew from the pass, and Wu Peifu won the war.

On June 17, 1922, under the intervention of Britain and the United States and other countries, the two sides negotiated an armistice and signed a peace treaty.

In order to show his progressive and pro-people side, Wu Peifu adopted the "good government doctrine" proposed by Hu Shi on September 19 and established a so-called "good man government" composed of intellectual elites with the jurist Wang Chonghui as prime minister.

However, the good guy government lasted only 72 days, and on November 29, Wang Chonghui resigned.

Although this good government is just an ornament, it has also done some things, including the release of the arrested patriotic youth, and Xu Wenqiang was released.

He left the train station and walked towards the French Concession in the darkness of the night, where he was going to find a former classmate.

Xu Wenqiang had just walked not far when he encountered a group of social forces that were slashing each other with knives.

Zhabei District belongs to the Chinese community, which is a relatively chaotic place, and the law and order is very poor, and this kind of land fighting and robbery are not uncommon.

Just when he was at a loss, he was pulled aside by a pear vendor and hid.

This pear seller is called Ding Li, he is a fruit seller in the area of Zhabei Railway Station, he is a master of pear peeling, known as "Fruit Ali".

He also did the "Throwing the Top Palace", that is, several people cooperated and snatched away people's top hats when the crowd was crowded.

When Ding Li knew that Xu Wenqiang was going to the French Concession, he told him that entering and leaving the French Concession at night would be strictly investigated, and he would not be able to enter without identification, so he could only wait until the day to enter with the vendors.

He warmly invited Xu Wenqiang to stay at his house for one night.

So, Xu Wenqiang came to Ding Li's house and spent the night in that simple house.

On the second day, Xu Wenqiang left Ding's house and went to the French Concession, where a completely different new life awaited him.

Some things are like this, and when I first experienced it, I thought it was very dull, but in retrospect, it may be fate.

Lin Zixuan got up for breakfast and habitually flipped through the newspaper.

In Shanghai, families above the middle class subscribe to two newspapers, one for the newspaper and one for the newspaper.

The two newspapers cover almost all of Shanghai's news coverage, with Bao Bao focusing on people's livelihood and News leaning towards political news.

The headline of the "Declaration" was Einstein's speech in the Public Concession yesterday.

It is said that the atmosphere was very warm, and many famous scholars listened carefully to the lectures as students, and some college students even cheered many times, and some even burst into tears.

At the end of the lecture, the Chinese scholars asked a variety of questions, hoping that Einstein would answer them.

They seem to think of Einstein as an omnipotent God, thinking that with the wave of his hand, he could create a small universe.

The headline of the "News" was a "New Year's Day Declaration" published by Sun Zhongshan, which expounded his political proposition, that is, "the Three People's Principles are the foundation of the country, and the Five-Power Constitution is the program of the system."

During this period of time, Sun Zhongshan has been reorganizing his own party, and the results have been remarkable.

This afternoon, he will also give a speech at Shanghai's Vientiane Radio Station, calling on the whole nation to unite nations.

Although Lin Zixuan claimed that Vientiane Radio was a commercial radio station and had no political inclination, everyone knew that radio as a propaganda tool would inevitably have such a situation.

Sun Zhongshan also saw the propaganda function of the radio station, so he made this request to Lin Zixuan.

There are now at least 2,000 radios in Shanghai today, and they are growing rapidly and rapidly, and these radios are mostly in middle-class households, and these people's opinions can be influenced through radio.

It was impossible for Lin Zixuan to refuse this request, and it was worth taking a little risk for it.

In the afternoon, he would go to Vientiane Bookstore and accompany Sun Zhongshan on this historic broadcast.

Lin Zixuan turned to the fourth page, and the news of his marriage appeared, which was published as entertainment news, he was not dissatisfied, compared to Sun Zhongshan and Einstein, he was still just a small person.

Einstein left Shanghai in the morning, and there should be a lot of people to see him off, and Lin Zixuan didn't plan to join in the fun.

He thought about whether he should work hard for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Einstein's popularity in Shanghai has a lot to do with the fact that he won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Even if they do not understand the theory of relativity, Chinese scholars will only think that they are not knowledgeable enough, and will not suspect that Einstein is a liar, which is the halo effect of the Nobel Prize in physics.

However, the Nobel Prize is never fair, and Orientals need to work harder to win the Nobel Prize.

Either you're controversial, or you have a work they can't ignore.

"The Old Man and the Sea" alone may not be enough, but also literary works that can shake the world.

Moreover, age is also a problem, if thirty years later, it should not be a big problem, but Lin Zixuan is only in his twenties, and they will not consider this young Oriental at all.

The youngest winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in history is the 44-year-old Frenchman, Albert Camus.

Camus was a representative of the philosophy of the absurd and its literature, and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957.

Sometimes, age is also a qualification.

This issue can be put on hold for the time being, and Lin Zixuan and the Nobel Prize in Literature will not intersect for at least a few years.

After resting in the morning, Lin Zixuan and Feng Chengcheng came to Vientiane Bookstore to prepare for Sun Zhongshan's arrival.

At half past two o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Zhongshan and Song Qianling came on time, and Lin Zixuan prepared a small welcome ceremony with his colleagues from Vientiane Bookstore.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the radio station officially started.

First, a piece of music was played, and then the announcer introduced the following program.

Sun Zhongshan stood in front of the microphone and began to speak, he didn't take the script, so he started talking.

Lin Zixuan and the others listened quietly, and Jiang Wei, who had been interning at Vientiane Bookstore, and her classmate Wang Jianhong were also behind the crowd and witnessed this moment.

The speech lasted for more than half an hour, and Sun Zhongshan left an inscription and left at four o'clock.

Lin Zixuan and Feng Chengcheng returned home by car, looking at the banners to celebrate the New Year hanging on the commercial building outside, and he suddenly realized that the new year had begun.
