Chapter 50: Interlude
Books are the ladder of human progress, and the reason why man has become a human being, the spirit of all beasts, is because of the way of knowledge inheritance that distinguishes him from beasts. Wild animals use genes to record, while humans do use pen and paper, how does the amount of information recorded by genes compare to that of pen and paper? Countless traversal texts say how the traverser is interested and how to use the accumulation of thousands of years of knowledge in later generations, and can make achievements in everything that amazes the people of the world. In fact, Guangxu understands that as a traverser, the biggest and only advantage is information. Such as events, such as talent. The traveler can keenly know the direction of history, especially as an emperor, and there is no need to conduct various assessments on the celebrities who have appeared in history. Because history has long since made a final judgment on the conduct and morality of these people. As long as Guangxu lets them play their strengths, he can let them play their greatest ability. There are advantages and disadvantages, but the biggest deficiency of the traveler is the understanding of the human situation in the society at that time, especially in a society like China, which has valued human relations since ancient times. There is an old Chinese saying: be a man in advance. If you can't handle interpersonal relationships well, the emperor can only really be Guangxu. Books have become the best way to understand today's society. Therefore, Guangxu ordered all foreign ministers to fully cooperate with Rong Hong to purchase books from various countries. From science and technology, from agriculture to the military, as long as Rong Hong proposes it, he must find a way to buy it.
Inside the Zhonghua Library, Guangxu looked at the list of new books. He found a book called "My Chinese Childhood", and the author made Guangxu happy.
"Rong Lao, can you contact Li Enfu and let him return to China as soon as possible. The country needs him. The long-lost plan in Guangxu's heart finally has the most suitable person.
"Young master, this person is giving a lecture in the university hall. Now, maybe his speech is not over yet. ”
Li Enfu, a native of Guangdong, was one of the first batch of Chinese students to study abroad. The first man with a blood surname who used his pen and mouth to shout for his compatriots in the United States, published "My Chinese Childhood", and became the first Chinese American to publish a book in the United States.
Five years after the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States, the lives of Chinese people in the United States are entering the most difficult moment. He married Miss Elizabeth of New England. The local newspaper said the couple's marriage was shocking, but people were excited. Obviously, the racial imprint that this Chinese youth bears in that particular era has been completely ignored, and he has fully entered American society. Li Enfu - a young man studying abroad in the Qing Dynasty, who had already entered the middle class, had married an American girl and had children, had become a naturalized and had no worries about food and clothing as his "high-class Chinese", but he chose the way of survival that put him in the most difficult situation.
He let out a roar as a Chinese! With his mouth and the pen in his hand, he cried out for his fellow citizens. He gave speeches in New England, accurately dissected the Chinese labor problem, provided strong arguments, and strongly condemned the supporters of the [***] movement, and his words and deeds caused great repercussions at Yale and in New England at the time. In order to convey his voice to the western United States, where the tide was most intense, he decided to go west. At this time, he was already the father of two daughters. His trip to the West eventually led to the rapid collapse of the marriage. And his efforts to sacrifice everything for his compatriots were also in the ashes in the West. Lee Eun-bok, who lost everything, began a life of drifting.
After Rong Hong received Guangxu's appointment to return to China to preside over the Beijing Normal University Hall, the first thing he thought of was Li Enfu. But he was still working hard for the Chinese in the United States, and in the end he failed to make it to the opening ceremony. And on the first day he came back, he began his lecture without a break. Because Li Enfu's years of experience told him that without the support of the motherland and a strong leader, Li Enfu's own efforts seemed so insignificant. So he came back.
The speech was wonderful and received a lot of applause. The speech was very lively and received a lot of applause, and the speech was very sensational and received a lot of tears. In his eyes, these are the spirit of striving for progress and the hope of the future.
"Teacher." Li Enfu respectfully bowed to Rong Hong: "Why didn't the students see the teacher when they spoke. ”
This is not curious, this is not the later [***] society, there is no so-called stinky old nine (for Chinese born before the seventies, the term "stinky old nine" is not unfamiliar, it is synonymous with Chinese intellectuals in the sixties and seventies of the last century. This "laurel crown" invented by the old man has been worn by Chinese intellectuals for nearly twenty years). In China's 2,000-year-old feudal society, with the exception of the Yuan Dynasty, which ruled for less than 100 years, the status of the teacher was absolutely respectful and unshakable. Life is five kneels, and the prince of heaven and earth is a teacher. Once he is a teacher and a father for life, even if he is an emperor, it is impossible to cross the boundary. It can be seen that in the 2,000 years of teaching by word and deed, even during the war period of the Republic of China, teachers are also a respectable profession. Respect for teachers and superiors is one of the foundations of the thousand-year-old inheritance of Chinese civilization.
Guangxu still failed to catch up with Li Enfu's speech, because when Guangxu arrived, it was just over.
"Enfu, this is Young Master Li Ming. I haven't seen the young master yet. Rong Hong introduced Guangxu to Li Enfu.
Li ming? Which young master still makes the teacher so respectful? Without waiting for Li Enfu to understand, Guangxu said: "No need to be polite, Rong Lao, please arrange a quiet place, how about we talk in detail?" ”
"Why don't you just go to my office?"
Before the word "good" in Guangxu's mouth came out, a very discordant woman's voice came: "Dengzi, come and help." ”
Anne Qian was very angry, the speech was very exciting, but the boys only discussed the content of the speech and forgot about the handling of the equipment, and several girls had to do it themselves. Just when Anqian couldn't move the equipment and put it down to rest, she saw Guangxu, so she asked Guangxu to help, but as soon as she spoke, she became a disciple.
"You go first, I'll come in a moment." Guangxu saw Anqian calling him, and immediately ran forward.
"Move this to the equipment room next door." Ancy said, leaning at her waist.
"Holo." After Guangxu moved up, he found a problem, a very big problem. It's not that the thing is too heavy, but the girl comes forward as soon as she screams, is it possible that the shadow of the feminist life in the previous life has come here, how can I say that I am also the emperor.
"Dengzi, isn't it too heavy? Why don't you ask your attendants for help? ”
"It's not heavy. But Ansie, what are you doing? Why don't there be classmates to help with all this stuff? ”
"They were all discussing Mr. Li's speech, where do they remember to move things." Li Jurong came out of the Great Hall carrying things.
After Anqian's explanation, Guangxu understood.
The university hall presided over by Rong Hong, who has lived in the United States for a long time, naturally carries the atmosphere of American school freedom, and after Guangxu transmitted to Rong Hong the concept of the student union in later generations that the students themselves manage the school, some small things in the school, such as arranging speeches, are all left to the students themselves. And this time Li Enfu's speech happened to be Li Jurong's group arrangement. Why would it be arranged by a girl? There is nothing to be curious about, how could Rong Hong, as the principal, not know Li Jurong's identity. Naturally, it will be arranged, and Li Jurong and An Qian in the dormitory are naturally together, but this is the first time.
Guangxu was chatting happily, but Rong Hong on the side was full of urgency: "Leng Jun is not going to help the young master soon." ”
"It's not the right time."
"Teacher." Li Enfu was a little puzzled: "Who is this Young Master Li Ming, who is sacred, which makes the teacher so nervous." ”
"As for who he is, you will know when you talk to him about it, and you can see that he expects a lot from you. Be careful to reply, and don't talk about it. Do you remember? Rong Hong was a little nervous, he couldn't tell Li Enfu now that this was a pilgrimage, and he was afraid that he would make a mistake in the prelude for a while. So be careful to be reminded. can only see the emperor in front of him and the emperor he saw in the palace, if it weren't for the coldness on the side, he would have thought it was a fake.
"Leng Jun, you follow aside, protect the young master's safety."
Although there are many things in the mouth, there are actually few things. Two round trips and that's it.
"Li Ming, you're from the capital, right?" Ancy asked.
"Of course, native-born. What's wrong? ”
"You must be familiar with the capital, aren't you?" A smile twinked in Ancy's eyes. The smile in Anqian's eyes seemed to Guangxu to mean something else.
"Right? What are your thoughts? Guangxu replied cautiously.
"That means you know what's the best in the capital. This is my first time in Beijing. Well, look at how hard you are working to help. Invite us to dinner. Ancy said with a happy smile.
Got something to eat? Don't eat for nothing, don't eat. "Okay." Guangxu agreed without thinking about it. But as soon as the words came out, he regretted it: "No, I'm doing you a favor, why am I still inviting you to dinner?" ”
"Who wants you to be from the capital. You can't go back on your promise. ”
"Another day." agreed too quickly, and the temptation of the beautiful woman as the emperor did not resist: "There is something to do today." I finally managed to make an appointment with Principal Yung. Next time, will it work? ”
"If we invite you, you'll have time, right?" Anqian was very unhappy: "If you don't want to ask, just say it." Lecher. ”
"No, it's true. Another day, please by all means. "And he called me a disciple.
"Sister Ann." A girl who came with her gently pulled the corner of Anqian's clothes: "You see that Principal Rong is still looking at us, there may really be something." Forget it. ”
"That's it." Guangxu nodded hurriedly: "Next time, definitely, but what are your names?" I must know who I owe for a meal. ”
"The one who spoke was called Yang Zao'er. That was Huang Lin. Li Jurong introduced on the side. The two girls next to her were still blushing.
"Remember, you still owe our sisters a meal."
"Remember, I can't forget it." If you dare to forget, looking at Anqian's temper, she will definitely spread Guangxu's name as a disciple all over the capital. It is necessary to prevent problems before they happen: "I said Anxi. I have never spoken frivolously to you, and I have never even touched your hands, and it is really detrimental to my glorious image that you call me a disciple in this public. Shouldn't you make amends to me? ”
"Promise to invite us to dinner and regret it in person, do you still have a glorious image? What compensation do you want? ”
"I'm really okay. Now everyone knows I'm a disciple, but I haven't done anything. I said Qian'er, why don't you let me be rude once, so I deserve the name of a disciple. ”
Anqian blushed: "Dengzi, who is your Qian'er." After saying that, he left angrily.
Guangxu looked confused, didn't he just make a joke? Besides, I didn't say it was my Akane. When Guangxu said this, he forgot that this was not the campus of the later generations. This sentence is definitely a move of a disciple in this era.
