Chapter 302: Family Affairs, State Affairs, and World Affairs
On January 1, 1926, Lin Zixuan held a national Chinese propaganda conference in Jiumu Land, Huajienan City, Shanghai.
Most of the participants were young students and educators, as well as a number of journalists.
To be honest, the attitudes of the south and the north are not the same in the promotion of the Chinese language, and the southerners are more repulsive, after all, the Chinese is formed on the basis of the Beijing dialect.
People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are more accustomed to using the southern dialect, which is also known as Wu Nong soft language, also known as Jiangdong dialect.
Although there was a lot of publicity in the newspapers, the citizens of Shanghai did not buy it.
Fortunately, this conference is just for show, the focus is on the next promotion and popularization in schools, Chinese education is not to eliminate dialects, but to provide a more general way of communication.
Even in later generations, Mandarin has been implemented for so many years, and the dialect still survives tenaciously.
Lin Zixuan spoke in Chinese about the benefits of using the Chinese language, and also told the story of Babel in Western society.
In ancient times, mankind united to build a tower that hoped to lead to heaven, and in order to stop mankind's plan, God made mankind speak different languages, so that human beings could not communicate with each other, and the plan failed, and mankind has been scattered ever since.
This story shows that by using the same language, it is easy to communicate, eliminate misunderstandings and barriers, and work together.
He spoke in Chinese, but after coming down he still used the Shanghai dialect.
No way, most of the Shanghainese people have migrated from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they usually speak in dialects.
After Lin Zixuan finished speaking, it was the turn of the representatives of the education sector to speak, followed by the speeches of the student representatives. There were also speeches by representatives of the media......
A single propaganda conference took the morning, followed by a meal with scholars in the field of education. Let's talk, this New Year's Day has passed.
Some people like the feeling of being watched on stage. Lin Zixuan is not among them.
He noticed that he had become more socially engaged since he returned, and that social groups that had not invited him before had also invited him.
Not only in the cultural world, but also in the political and financial circles, the education and technology circles, etc., he is unbearable.
This is because his social status has improved, attracting more people's attention, and some parties are even proud to have him attended, that is, the greater the fame, the more entertainment.
Back home. Lin Zixuan, who was a little dizzy, sat on the sofa, Feng Chengcheng brought him a cup of tea, and the two chatted casually.
Recently, smallpox has become epidemic in Shanghai, especially in children.
There have been fatal cases in hospitals in Huajie and the concession, and the authorities have issued notices telling the public to avoid contact with smallpox patients as much as possible, and to seek medical attention in a timely manner.
Smallpox had a high mortality rate at this time and was an extremely serious infectious disease.
Lin Zixuan knew that there was a smallpox vaccine in later generations, and he also knew that it could be prevented through pox in this era. However, in China, very few children actually prevent smallpox through vaccination.
Once infected, with the current level of medical care, life is in danger.
He can only ask his family to go out as much as possible, especially Lin Zhijian's children. It is also the object of key protection.
Recently, Feng Jingyao was proud, he was originally a director of the French Concession Board of Directors, and now the French of the Board of Directors are discussing increasing the rights of Chinese directors in the French Concession.
In the future, Feng Jingyao can participate in the board of directors of the public board of directors. Put forward their own opinions on the management and construction of the French Concession.
The French used the Chinese to manage the Chinese, and they didn't want to spend too much energy on it.
There was even a French director who proposed to let Lin Zixuan enter the board of directors. wants to use Lin Zixuan's prestige in Shanghai to calm down emergencies.
Lin Zixuan was not very interested in this, and he did not want to get too involved in political activities.
There is another thing from Lin Zixuan's third uncle. Lin Boren, who served in the Tianjin government, the third uncle was extremely obsessed with being an official, and he could be said to be an official fan.
The so-called learning of literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family, China has thousands of years of official-based thinking, and it is noble to be an official.
This is not something that can be eliminated by a great revolution, it is an idea engraved in the bones of the Chinese.
Lin Boren was keenly aware that the situation was not right, and sooner or later there would be a war between the Guangdong Nationalist Government and the Beiyang Government, and this battle would come soon.
As an official, which side to throw in is a matter of choice.
Logically speaking, the Beiyang government could not fail, and the Guangdong Nationalist Government had less than 300,000 troops, while the direct warlords and Feng warlords had more than one million troops, and the gap was too great.
As an opportunist, Lin Boren felt that it was not safe to do nothing, and his heart was unstable.
He was ready to send his son to study at the Whampoa Military Academy, and if the Nationalist Government of Guangdong prevailed, there would also be a security guarantee.
This requires Lin Zixuan to dredge up the relationship, and Lin Boren knows that Lin Zixuan has a good relationship with the people in Guangdong.
For Lin Zixuan, this is just a gesture, but he is hesitating, whether this generation of the Lin family wants to enter the political world, he is considering this matter from the perspective of the whole family.
In the future, the Lin family will be dedicated to taking the road of business, or will it be a combination of business and politics.
The future is a great era of change, once you go the wrong way and stand on the wrong team, the whole family will be wiped out.
If Lin Zixuan was alone, or a family, he would never be involved in politics, but everyone in this family has different ideas and different pursuits.
He told Feng Chengcheng about this, otherwise he would send the third uncle's son to study abroad.
Feng Chengcheng thought that he should not be so arbitrary, with the Lin family's network in Jiangsu and Shanghai, as well as Lin Zixuan's reputation, it was unrealistic to completely get rid of political factors.
Lin Zixuan thought about it and felt that it made sense, he couldn't stop other people's futures just because he hated politics.
Everyone has their own path, so let them go!
He sent a telegram to Song Ziwen and introduced his cousin to the past, as for the future future, it depends on his own efforts.
Song Ziwen urged Lin Zixuan to go to the Soviet Union as soon as possible.
Since the invitation of the Soviet Union, there have been people who have visited the Soviet Union and come back with different opinions.
But the voice of criticism became smaller, and more of an exclamation for the USSR.
The Soviet Union is doing a great social experiment compared to the dead China, and perhaps China needs to do the same in order to get rid of imperialist oppression.
This does not contradict Xu Zhimo's thoughts.
Xu Zhimo looked at the Soviet Union from the perspective of a liberal and felt that the Soviet Union was full of oppressive atmosphere.
Those who expressed these views viewed the Soviet Union from the perspective of the state, believing that the socialist construction of the Soviet Union was worthy of China's study and reference, and that it could solve China's practical problems.
The two look at the problem from different angles, and naturally draw different conclusions.
Lin Zixuan understands this truth, he just hasn't figured out what kind of perspective he should use to look at the Soviet Union, from a personal perspective or from a national perspective? (To be continued.) )
