“…… As Mr. said, when he was in this book, although he met many like-minded people, he saw more of the classmates who sought profit and did not live in responsibility, and when he returned to China, he only saw compatriots who were willing to be slaves and numb and did not know how to forge ahead! ”

At this time, after being woken up by Chen Moran's words, he felt that Niu Yongjian, who was full of passion in his chest, was talking there regardless of being on the Yangtze River in the Qing Dynasty at this time, as if he was talking about the decline of national affairs with those classmates and how to save the country.

"Today's China, I'm afraid that only the revolution can save China! I think that only a revolution can arouse the blood of our people! ”

At this point, Niu Yongjian, who was a little excited, slapped the block hard, looking unwilling to do anything.

“…… Revolutionary ......"

Suddenly, two words broke into his ears, only to explode in Chen Moran's mind like thunder, and he looked at him in disbelief, as if he was whispering in a low voice beside him.

Chen Moran didn't know the impact of his words on Niu Yongjian or the people of this era, in fact, at this time, although the knowledgeable people knew the numbness of the Chinese people, but they didn't know why it was so, but Chen Moran said that it was the people of later generations, summing up the words of self-reflection a hundred years later, in later generations, this kind of remarks were rarely recognized, and the people who knew it also laughed, and the people who said this were just "foreign slaves in their bones".

The compatriots on this land, whether at this time or in the future, have low self-esteem and excellent dignity or face, they know the gap, but they are extremely unwilling to face the facts, and even if they face the facts, they are nothing more than going from one extreme to the other. This was true at the beginning of the 20th century, and a hundred years later, too.

"Revolution!"

Chen Moran muttered this sentence to himself, thinking of this word, a sentence he had seen in the movie came to his mind, which should be said to be the best interpretation of revolution he had ever seen, which made him finally shake hands with the word "revolution" to a certain extent.

"If you want to be civilized and happy, you must go through the pain of civilization, and this pain is called revolution."

Although it was just a sentence, it made Niu Yongjian feel a sense of emotion, and a long-lost emotion and passion welled up in his heart, he looked at the Chen Moran in front of him, and repeatedly muttered his words between his mouths.

"If you want to be civilized and happy, you must go through the pain of civilization, and this pain is called revolution."

Although he came into contact with the word revolution a few years ago and began to be influenced by revolutionary thoughts, whether it was him or his classmates and friends around him, although he talked about revolution, he did not understand anything about revolution, but now a simple word has made him understand what revolution is. Looking at Chen Moran's eyes, he was completely calm, and even a little fanatical.

Xu is Chen Moran was a little distracted before, this was just a noison to come back to his senses by the explanation of "revolution" that this person kept muttering, but seeing that he was stared at so feverishly by a big man, he always reacted to it somewhat, looking at his fanatical eyes, it almost didn't startle Chen Moran, and suddenly that look made him feel like ...... Well! The excitement of finally finding the organization.

"Don't look at me, I'm not a revolutionary!"

Chen Moran waved his hand and hurriedly put himself out of the revolution.

Chen Moran has always disliked revolution, he fears its tremendous destructive power, he also hates its bloody consequences, and hates that it can be a tool to attack dissidents at any time, but he hates its ever-changing face the most, and he is more ferocious when he devours his own children than his enemies.

Revolution, Mingzhuo, Freedom, Ism, Republican, Datong...... At the same time, these words have also been used to evoke the violence of the majority, to consolidate power, to trample on rights and distort people's surnames, and to create homogeneity.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Moran always resisted the revolution and resisted that word, and it was not until he heard the interpretation of that sentence that he shook hands with that word and accepted that word, and acceptance does not mean recognition. Similarly, now that he understands that he was mistaken for an "organization" by this Niu Yongjian, Chen Moran wants to put aside the relationship.

"Mr. is cautious, Yongjian understands, Mr. Yongjian Xie is here to speak!"

Although Chen Moran wanted to put aside the relationship, Niu Yongjian was still full of respect, regardless of Chen Moran being a few years younger than him, and even saluted with the courtesy of his juniors.

"This, that, and that!"

This person's junior salute and respect between words made Chen Moran almost sigh without patting his head!

The people of this era are too coaxing!

The ethereal blueprint that seems to be impossible to realize stunned Xiao Xinren, Fang Jingyuan, and even Sun Mingjiu, a six-grade official, and a group of people who have just joined the company. This will copy a sentence from someone else, and as a result, he will coax the man in his thirties in front of him, and give himself a junior Lilly, just a few words?

Looking at the person in front of him, Chen Moran suddenly understood something, he couldn't appreciate the enthusiasm of these people, not only that he had never really experienced the environment of the era of perceiving enthusiasm. The person in front of him is only asking for his ideals, even fantasies, and he needs a faith to support him, and he will do whatever it takes to do so.

That is to say, at this time, because of his "nagging" in a few words, he made a junior salute to himself.

Looking at Niu Yongjian in front of him, Chen Moran felt a kind of equal emphasis, looking at Niu Yongjian in front of him, he seemed to see those little people who gave their lives for the battle of ideals and tomorrow ten years later, they fell under the stage of political parties, revolutionaries, politicians, warlords, party leaders, intellectuals, and big businessmen, on this stage they are just small supporting roles, what do they want?

"What misfortune was born in China!"

Chen Moran remembered a sentence in the book between Lin Juemin and his wife, perhaps this is the biggest misfortune of these little people.

Ten years later, that revolution changed China, but for the next hundred years, people here are still trying to find an outcome, an ideal home. For more than 100 years, people here have tied personal destiny and values to universal grandiose terms and narratives. Almost every day, he cherishes dreams, renounces reason, conscience, justice, human freedom and dignity, and relies on the promise of a grand narrative.

Perhaps, in the future, they can shed blood and sacrifice for a faith. But Chen Moran will not, for the people in front of him, at the same time, he has sympathy and pity for them, in this great era, they are just a group of people who are used and sacrificed, they have ideals and beliefs, sacrifice and contribute for this country, but what do they get in the end?

The revolution was successful, but dreams are dreams after all, ideals are still ideals, and in the 100 years since the revolution, people have still repaid their debts to the revolution with suffering and misfortune. Is this the fate of the revolution?

"Revolution!"

Chen Moran shook his head and sighed lightly at these two words that he resisted in his heart. His soft sigh made Niu Yongjian prick up his ears.

"Filial piety, revolution, what is the purpose of the revolution?"

Somehow, although he wanted to dissociate himself from the revolution, Chen Moran couldn't bear to ask the question of the "potentially violent revolutionary" in front of him.

"Seek the strength of the country and the survival of the nation!"

In the past year, it is this question that he and his classmates and friends have been discussing and pursuing this goal, and it is precisely because of the discussion and pursuit that he believes that only revolution can achieve this goal.

"There is never an ultimate purpose in the world, and some ...... It's just the progress of society! ”

Chen Moran smiled, and then looked towards the river, at this time the sun had set, looking at the river reflected red by the sunset, he continued.

"The French Revolution, millions of French people shed their blood for freedom, cut down the emperor, killed the nobles, but what was the result? It was Napoleon, the emperor, who was hit. If the revolution succeeds, the republic will not necessarily come, and when the republic comes, the country will not necessarily be rich and strong! If you are rich and strong, the country will not necessarily cook openly! ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Niu Yongjian, his expression extremely serious.

"So, what do you want?"

One question, but it is two people who need to answer.

Chen Moran is not so much asking Niu Yongjian as he is asking what he wants.

What do I want?

When he asked himself in his heart, Niu Yongjian gave Chen Moran an answer.

"I want the country to be rich and strong!"

When these two words were spoken, Niu Yongjian's eyes were full of expectations for the future!

"Every day, I even dream of the prosperity of the country! Thinking about it, dreaming at night! Can ......"

At this time, Niu Yongjian's face was full of pathos, that is, even Chen Moran, who thought that he had long been numb to this country and everything here, was also shocked by the pathos on his face.

"I woke up from a dream! What I see is this country, enslaved by the Manchurians and ravaged by the foreigners! Is this my country? ”

Niu Yongjian's voice was low and hoarse, and there were even tears flashing in his eyes at this time.

"In this book, a friend of mine once said that he hated to be born in today's China! How humiliating it is to be a man! I replied: Even if the state affairs are like this, our generation should sacrifice their lives for the country and not hesitate, and use the revolution to save China! ”

Looking at the sad but generous look of Niu Yongjian in front of him, Chen Moran has respect for the person in front of him, the big history makes the little people choose to sacrifice, in the next ten years, it is he and thousands of such or China's best young people, again and again for a dream, an idea, to shed blood, to sacrifice, but their death is placed in the altar of the revolution, are they used cannon fodder, or martyrs who dedicated their lives for China's progress? He is a martyr who sacrificed his life for China's progress!

"How can a boy sit back and watch at this time! That's how it should be! ”

The words blurted out only made Chen Moran blush for a while, is this what he said? What are you doing?

"How can you sit idly by!"

Niu Yongjian slapped the railing, his face was full of grief and indignation, he turned his head to look at the person who happened to meet the ship, and his words solved the confusion in his heart, he was a few years younger than himself, but he had far more insight than himself.

"Yongjian didn't think that this cherry blossom holiday, actually met Mr. Chen on the boat, it is really a blessing of filial piety, Yongjian took a boat to Yangzhou this time, and gathered with several like-minded people, such as Mr. does not abandon ......"

"However, I didn't expect you to be here!"

It was a voice from the other side of the corridor that interrupted Niu Yongjian's words, Sun Mingjiu yawned and walked over, and saw that Chen Moran was talking to others, so he hurriedly gave a salute.

"Sorry! disturbed the two Ya surnames, in the next grandson...... Newyon Building! ”

At this time, Sun Mingjiu's eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise. When Niu Yongjian, who turned around, saw the person coming, his face was slightly surprised.

"Sun Mingjiu!"

"You know?"

The two of them actually knew each other, which was beyond Chen Moran's expectations, Sun Mingjiu was a typical old-fashioned school, otherwise he would not have donated his background, and even persuaded himself to donate an official body, but there was no friendship between the two of them.

"However, Xiaozhi and I are classmates of Jingzheng Academy!"

Chen Moran noticed that Sun Mingjiu's face was slightly embarrassed, and Niu Yongjian's face was also a little unnatural, it seemed that there might be something unhappy between the two.

The dispute between the two many years ago made Niu Yongjian feel extremely uncomfortable, and instead of talking about his classmates with Sun Mingjiu, he clasped his fists and saluted, and invited Chen Moran to come again.

"Mr. Chen, if Mr. is free, he can go to Yangzhou with Yongjian, and he will definitely not disappoint Mr."

As soon as Sun Mingjiu heard that Niu Yongjian invited Chen Moran to Yangzhou, he saw that this "New Maniac" hurriedly spoke.

"However, when I set off today, my father had already sent a telegram to Lord Liu, saying that you and I would visit tomorrow, and if it was late, I was afraid that it would make Lord Liu unhappy!"

When he spoke, Sun Mingjiu accentuated the voice of the adult, that is, to remind Chen Moran, and also to Niu Yongjian, although since six years ago, the two fought because of the conflict between words, but more or less I also know that this person is by no means a trouble-free person, this lame man is already acting a little crazy, and he has no scruples.

After hearing the "great idea" described by Chen Moran, although he had some concerns, he knew that with his idea and financial resources, if he really succeeded, if he went to Jinling this time, he could get the support of Lord Liu, it could be said that it would be a sure thing. Although it is not said that it is nine out of ten, there is no problem in thinking about the number of six or four. It is precisely because of this that Sun Mingjiu has staked the rest of his life on him, how can he let him Niu Yongjian ruin his own good deeds!

"This ......"

Although his heart was moved, but with some hidden worries, Chen Moran frowned after Sun Mingjiu's reminder, squeezed out some embarrassment on his face, and looked at Niu Yongjian with expectation.

"Brother filial piety, yes, but a worldly businessman Jal! If he said that the filial brother has what he needs, he will do his best and will not postpone it, but he is still entangled in important matters today, please forgive me! ”

Sun Mingjiu interrupted, Niu Yongjian knew that he was afraid that Mr. Chen would not be able to go to Yangzhou, and he originally wanted to introduce Mr. Chen to a few friends, although he was inevitably a little disappointed, but he smiled.

"It doesn't matter! Anyway! Putting Mr.'s business first! ”

"Hmmm! He also asked him to say that Brother Niu could sit in Chen's Garden on the Public Concession Road after passing through Shanghai, so that he could make up for his mistakes! ”

Although he didn't want to go, Chen Moran still said good things thoroughly, and he respected such a generous person in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

Fang listened to Chen's garden, and then looked at the crutches in Chen Moran's hand, Niu Yongjian couldn't help but be shocked, he said how the name of the person in front of him was so familiar, three days ago, when Fang returned to Shanghai, he heard the sect brother mention the new "lame hao" in Shanghai, but he never thought that it was the person in front of him.

"That is, Mr. Chen still has something to do, Yongjian will not bother, he said, Yongjian and Chen's Garden, listen to Mr.'s teaching!"

"Listen to the sir?"

After Niu Yongjian left, Sun Mingjiu looked at his back in surprise, this crazy man rarely treats people so respectfully, how did he change his surname today, so he looked back at Chen Moran in surprise.

"It's nothing, it's just some gibberish, Brother Mingzhe!"

"Babble? My then, as a brother, I want to remind you that you had better stay away from someone like Niu Yongjian, otherwise I am afraid that he will be burned and I don't know it! ”

"Brother Mingzhe is too worried!"

Looking at Niu Yongjian, who had entered the cabin, Chen Moran sighed in his heart, he couldn't do what they did for the sake of the country, and he was too selfish.

"What do I want?"

At this time, the previous question once again appeared in Chen Moranyu's mind, and when he turned to look at the black and oppressive river, an answer suddenly rose in his heart, and this answer made his heart confused and dared to speak.

"Don't think about it!"

With a sigh in his heart, Chen Mo turned around and walked towards the cabin, as if he remembered something, looked back at Sun Mingjiu with a smile, but said another word.

"Brother Mingzhe, if he has a day, I will really set myself on fire, I don't know if my brother will abandon me!"

"Ahh

In Sun Mingjiu's stunned moment, Chen Moran had already entered the cabin with a smile, in a few hours, the ship would be almost Jinling, no! It's to Nanjing!
