Chapter 1 Lu Xun's scolding war
ps: Please support the genuine version and help the book to be strengthened
After the Beijing Peace Conference, China's international status and strength leapt to the forefront of the world. Just as the people of the whole country were immersed in the joy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, Lu Xun, vice minister of education of the Chinese Empire, published a fiercely critical article in the "Freedom Talk" column of the "Declaration", setting off a fierce war of scolding throughout the country.
That day, in the office of the presidential palace, Nguyen Trung Shu, who had already served as the secretary general of the presidential office, knocked on the door and came in and put the three declarations in front of Song Xiaofei. One of them is Lu Xun's article: "Our Times":
"Whether you love it or not, in our time, public knowledge has officially become a curse word. What a comical picture it is in itself that the public knowledge, which represents the conscience of society, has become the object of ridicule of those who are submissive, humiliated, skeptical, and almost dog-horse.
In our time, we have all become accustomed to this false prosperity in front of us, accepting it as an immutable fact, and some have helped to perpetuate it, in the name of 'promoting positive energy'. None of us is merely a victim, we are all its conspirators.
In our time, we are cheering and numb for tigers and flies to fall out of anti-corruption. Each of us is evading the responsibility of the times to act actively, freely, rationally and quickly. We buried our hopes in our hearts. We wrap ourselves in a mask of indifference, burying deep in our subconscious those enormous, human and moral spiritual potentials.
In our time, some young people have stepped up. Let the world see their pursuit of truth, their love for free thought, their political ideals, and the courage and vision of the people. They know that man is not just a product of the actual world, but is capable of connecting himself to something higher. Despite the fact that this real world is gradually stifling this ability of young people.
It is a fact that our times, our international standing has greatly increased. It is also true that our economy has been a great success. It is a fact that our army has achieved an unprecedented victory. It is also true that we have achieved great success in the fight against corruption. Our slogan of rule of law. It's finally made clear, and that's the truth. However, a single document from the government department can increase the tax. This is also true. It is also true that those ** tigers and flies, who have no restrained power in their positions, still have not changed.
Our time. We can get it from the newspaper every day. Hear different expressions of the same topic: about our country, how prosperous our economy is, how great our times are, how patriotic our people are, how happy our people are. Our dreams will come true tomorrow.
But. All of us know that our country is not yet truly prosperous, that the tremendous creativity and spiritual potential of each and every one of our people have not been effectively brought into play, and that the country has long relied on degrading the dignity of workers and relying on a deformed real estate market and large-scale investment to drive economic growth. We are wasting a little bit of energy for future generations. We pollute the land, rivers, forests, and even the air that our ancestors gifted us.
Today, we don't need statistics, and we can understand more quickly and deeply what kind of situation our economy has fallen into: tens of millions of young people in big cities are saddled with bank loans for decades, living without dignity every month to repay the high interest rates of banks, and tens of millions of migrant workers are working without any security on construction sites in cities and assembly lines in factories. Taxpayers in our country have only the obligation to pay taxes and do not have the corresponding rights.
These are not the main problems in our country. Worst of all, we live in a morally polluted society. We are accustomed to duplicity. We learn not to believe in anything, we learn to focus only on ourselves. Such concepts as patriotism, democracy, freedom, love, friendship, mercy, humility or tolerance have lost their depth and scale, and for many they merely represent the brainwashing of the government with ulterior motives, which seems comical in this age of entertainment to death.
This year, time flies quickly, and the arrival of a new era seems to be coming very slowly!
Some, using themselves or others as a tool to make money, our people are banished to some gigantic deformed, noisy, pungent smelling machine, reduced to its cogs and screws. It is difficult to say whether the self-confidence of our people, nation, and politics will be revived in a new historical posture and whether a new era will be ushered in.
A truly confident person or people is able to listen to others, accept others equally, forgive their enemies and feel remorse for their sins. But this self-confidence is too far from the society we live in. Most Chinese still don't want the Buddha and miss Qin Shi Huang. Our people cannot understand the power behind the Buddha that can make love, tolerance, and ideals deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the hearts of the people. Our dream: a republic, self-confidence, democratic, with a prosperous economy and social justice, a republics with a rich humanity that serves the individual and therefore hopes that the individual will also serve it, and we are waiting for Qin Shi Huang to send it to us. We are silently waiting for Qin Shi Huang to return the people's government to us!
Our politics still advocates power scheming rather than expressing the demand for the welfare of the people, and our politics is accustomed to deceiving or plundering society. Our society has too many enemies, and those are our own vices: indifference, emptiness, personal ambition, selfishness, and infighting. Free elections and free campaigns are far away, and we don't seem to need them ourselves, nor do we understand why people in other societies need them.
Whenever and wherever our fellow citizens hear that there are people in the world who believe that freedom is above life, that responsibility is above materiality, and that hope can prevail over power, they will feel novel, what is the hope of the world like? But this is also the last bit of hope left in the world for intellectuals with a conscience, for our children and grandchildren!
One day, our president will be able to say to all the people with a clear conscience: 'The people's country has been given back to you!' 'A new era for our country. And it really begins! ”
Song Xiaofei read Lu Xun's article, and his thoughts were as sharp as ever. Like a dagger. Most of him also agreed with the problem raised by Lu Xun in his heart, which needed to be solved, so his face was serious. But when Lu Xun asked the question, he was still as mean and ruthless as ever, which made Song Xiaofei feel a little unhappy.
Ruan Zhongshu, secretary general of the Presidential Office, watched Song Xiaofei read Lu Xun's article and tapped his fingers on the desktop in front of him. said: "President, Lu Xun insinuated in the article that you are Qin Shi Huang, and many members of the National Congress were very angry when they read this article. He was asked to be removed from his post as Deputy Minister of Education. Lu Xun smeared the Chinese Empire like this, he is the idol of many young people, and young people will be affected badly. ”
Song Xiaofei didn't speak, but opened the second article. Signed "Huangfu". The title scared Song Xiaofei a lot, "Lu Xun is a tool for hostile forces to smear China", the article said:
"The hostile forces of the United States and other Western countries cannot see the rise of China, and they have paid special attention to Lu Xun for more than a day or two. It is precisely under the packaging of the American and Western media that this so-called 'national backbone' has been labeled as a conspicuous political label and established as a representative of anti-society and anti-system. But no matter how you look at it, Lu Xun can't represent many people, and what he can really represent is the interests of his backstage boss, that is, the top forces in Europe and the United States. Lu Xun has become a tool and a pawn for American politicians to smear China.
There are problems in any social formation and system. But no country allows other countries to interfere in its internal affairs. If the United States really wants to develop long-term, stable, and friendly relations with China, then it can no longer stubbornly cater to or even encourage the extreme words and deeds of a very small number of people in China. Destabilize Chinese society.
American-style human rights, democracy, and freedom are not suitable for China, and the United States must learn to respect China's core interests and learn to adapt to getting along with China on an equal footing. 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you' and create incidents under the banner of 'human rights,' 'freedom,' and 'democracy,' is only self-exposing its ugliness, which is not effective for China, and even less beneficial to the United States itself.
I advise the Lu Xun people in the country to regard the country as their home, don't jump out and scold your parents because of all kinds of discomfort you think you think, what do others think of you? In fact, no matter how much you scold, in the end, it is still the parents who are scolded by you, your parents also have shortcomings in your eyes, so it's like this for the country, smearing China, and turning against China when it comes to China, so that outsiders can see the jokes, it's really shameless......"
Song Xiaofei saw this logically confusing article and said to Ruan Zhongshu: "This 'Huangfu' article is from you, the part-time head of the Ministry of Mission, right?" It smells of gunpowder! ”
Nguyen Trung Shu said: "Yes. Next, we are going to organize colleges and universities to criticize Lu Xun, hoping that the Ministry of Education will also remove Lu Xun from public office as soon as possible. President, if you look at the third article, it is Lu Xun's response, and the words are even more excessive. ”
Song Xiaofei picked up the newspaper and looked at it, the title was "There is no such thing as smearing China", Lu Xun responded to the article of "Huangfu" and said: "Huangfu himself has taken too much medicine for positive propaganda, so he always thinks that the thoughts in other people's heads are poisonous, and always wants to prescribe patriotic prescriptions." It is not a big deal for a person who has taken too much positive propaganda medicine to be self-righteous and likes to treat others as fools, but I am afraid that he will call on the government to enforce his self-righteousness, call on the government to forcibly treat others as fools, and call on the government to force others to think like him.
In fact, there is no such thing as smearing China, and there is no such thing as anyone who is not patriotic. It is human nature to be patriotic. Some people with ulterior motives always like to criticize others for being unpatriotic out of nothing to show that they are patriotic, in fact, most of the people who think that others have brain problems will be scolded by others for being neurotic, and people who casually take others as fools are usually fools themselves.
If a person doesn't even understand what a critical spirit is, and others point out problems and don't think about ways to solve them, but they always like to accuse the person who raised the problem of smearing China, what is that normal people's thinking? A thing that is not black, can it be discredited by others after a few words? Historically, only a powerful person like Zhao Gao could refer to a deer as a horse......"
Ruan Zhongshu said: "Lu Xun's first article insinuated that you are Qin Shi Huang, and this response article scolded me for referring to Zhao Gao, who is a deer as a horse, which is tolerable and unbearable, please ask the president to immediately remove him from the post of vice minister of education, and severely punish him, otherwise people's hearts will be in chaos!" It will be difficult to unify the minds of young people! This is not what I mean alone, and many old comrades in the Ministry of Education have long been unaccustomed to what Lu Xun did.
