Chapter Eighty-Nine: Malaya
Back in April, Su Zizi returned to the statue island from the Panama Canal, bringing more than 100 people with her, all of whom stayed at the factory in Uruguay. It was a member of Lin Lili, a Chinese telecommunications master whom Su Zizi met in the Panama Canal.
Lin Lili's family is originally from Fujian, and their ancestors went to sea to earn a living, mostly living in Malaya. He is quite prestigious among the Chinese in Singapore and Malaya, mainly engaged in rubber and agriculture. The Chinese are hardworking and have accumulated a lot of family business. But the Chinese in this era were not only suppressed by the colonial rulers, the British, but also threatened by the Malayans all the time.
Malaysian Chinese, also known as Malaysian Chinese or Chinese-Malaysian, referred to as Malaysian-Chinese, Malaysian-Chinese and Malaysian-Chinese, is a Chinese ethnic group of Malaysian origin. Most of them call themselves Chinese or Tang Chinese, and the Malaysian Chinese are mainly immigrants who migrated from Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan in China for hundreds of years from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China. After the founding of the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China, they began to call themselves Chinese, Chinese and overseas Chinese.
There are three main ethnic groups in Malaysia, Malaysian Chinese, Malays, and Indians, all of whom arrived in Malaya at the same time. Malaysia has indigenous people, but not Malays, in fact, the Malays entered Malaya from Indonesia, but these Malays claim to be indigenous, which leads many people to think that Malaysians refer to the phenomenon of Malays.
When Chinese first arrived in Malaysia, they often set up private schools to educate the next generation, and most of the private schools at that time used the "Three Character Classics", "Thousand Character Texts" or "Four Books and Five Classics" as teaching materials.
In Nanyang, most of the British colonial political axes adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards them in the early days of running schools; However, in 1920, the colonial British government saw that the Chinese were growing stronger, and gradually promulgated the "School Registration Act 1920" to obstruct and suppress them. The ignorant Malays served as a tool for the British colonial government to suppress the Chinese.
Since the Chinese came to Malaya, the Chinese community, Chinese education and Chinese newspapers and periodicals are considered by the Chinese community to be important tools for inheriting Chinese culture and uniting the strength of the Chinese people, and the three are collectively known as the three pillars of the Chinese community. Lin Lili's grandfather, Lin Cheng Wanzai, was one of the leaders of the local Chinese community in Kuala Lumpur, and in the Huanghuagang Uprising led by Sun Yat-sen, he attacked the Manchu Governor's Mansion with a large banner and was killed on the spot.
Generations of Malay Chinese have looked forward to the strength of their mother country and supported overseas travelers, and have paid blood and money for this. After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, countless Chinese donated money, countless young people embarked on the journey of resistance, and countless people spilled their blood on the battlefield.
But as far as Li Guang knew, until the end of World War II, the Chinese in Malaya were still oppressed and even slaughtered. In September, after the start of the European War, Lin Lili brought the leader of the Kuala Lumpur Chinese community, Lin Fangda, who is Lin Lili's father, to Stone Statue Island.
Li Guang's perception of Lin Fangda is very strange, and in Li Guang's feeling, this person belongs to the kind of hero who really fights for his ideals. Lin Fangda sold his family property and organized more than 200 Chinese youths to fight against the British and Malayans in the deep mountains and old forests. Li Guangshi did not expect that there were also Chinese guerrillas in Nanyang. And it's been fighting for ten years.
The situation of Lin Fonda's guerrillas is not optimistic, and now the economy is difficult, there is a serious shortage of weapons and ammunition, and it is extremely difficult for a small force to survive in an encirclement that is almost entirely hostile.
Li Guang was shocked by Lim's ambition to establish a Chinese-dominated country in Malaya, where millions of Chinese would be able to read and be free from foreign enslavement. He has been fighting for this goal for more than 20 years, from the establishment of the Republic of China to the present, he has been fighting against the British colonial authorities, and he has tried all peaceful means one by one, but they have been fruitless, and they have ended in the bloodshed of the Chinese again and again. In the end, he chose to fight with force. A literati who was originally holding a pen now picked up a gun.
Li Guang knows history and he can draw conclusions on many things without thinking, but as Lin Fangda, he chose the path of force in failure after failure, a little bit of exploration. The amount of blood and tears in it can be imagined.
Lin Fangda's conclusion at the cost of blood was different from that of another Chinese leader, Tan Kah Kee, although both worked for the free reading of the Chinese. Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the "Nanyang Overseas Chinese Relief Association for Refugees from the Motherland" led by Tan Kah Kee has mobilized 8 million overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia to raise a huge amount of foreign exchange for China. These overseas sons and daughters are so that one day their home country will be strong and their overseas travelers will have a refuge.
Li Guang knew that Chen Jiageng made great contributions to China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but he also knew that after the end of World War II, China fell into a civil war, and the overseas Chinese in Nanyang did not get the support of their mother country that they wanted, and they still experienced bullying from other races again and again. It should be said that the mother country, whether it is Jiang Zhengaxe or the Republic political axe, is indebted to these overseas travelers.
Even from the perspective of a 21st century person, it is difficult to say that Lin Fonda chose the wrong path. But in the context of World War II, Lin's ideals were destined to be shattered. If there was a chance, it would have been at the end of World War II. But China's civil war has made this opportunity a lost one.
The struggle of the Chinese in Malaya was not without effect, and Singapore was established through the efforts of several generations of Chinese. Li Guang is not familiar with history, he doesn't know if Lin Fangda has a specific role in it, but he is sure that Lin Fangda's blood is behind the brilliance of reading.
Forty-seven-year-old Lin Fangda was already like an old man at this time, with a thin body and white hair. Years of survival in the wild have taken a serious toll on his health. The weak body has a pair of blazing eyes, fighting for the Chinese, fighting for the children and grandchildren, Li Guang was shocked by the unyielding spirit of this old man who is not an old man.
Lin Fangda came to Shixiang Island to inspect Li Guang. For the sake of the more than 200 Chinese guerrillas under his command and the ideals in his heart, this old man hoped to find an ideal successor.
Li Guang has great respect for this warrior who has fought for the Nanyang Chinese all his life, Li Guang thinks that he is just a small person, in addition to wanting to make some contributions to China's resistance in this era, the biggest idea is to live a rich family on Shixiang Island after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, and it is best to be accompanied by Su Zizi and Yuan Ran.
And the shock brought to Li Guang by the middle-aged man with white hair in front of him was extremely huge. In literary and artistic works, some people are born with a shocking temperament, but Li Guang has never seen it. And Lin Fangda has no temperament, but he has a kind of spiritual charisma, Li Guang's achievements today should be said to be far beyond Lin Fangda, but he knows that he is far inferior in spirit.
This person is the spirit of the Chinese people, and it is a great blessing for a country and a nation to have such a figure.
Such talents have truly inherited the national spirit. The decades of education in later generations have never instilled such a spirit in Li Guang, who has persevered and persevered in fighting for the nation. The person in front of him is so pure, he gave up his family business, slept in the open for decades, and fought for the reading power of Nanyang Chinese.
Li Guang had never seen such a person in reality, and the saint was nothing more than that.
Lin Fangda is like a mentor, little by little, he confided his decades of experience to Li Guang, and Li Guang did not shy away from talking about his expectations of the battle situation and history (fart predictions, he knows history at all. )
When Li Guang said that in this world war, the Chinese will surely win the final victory. If the world war ended, the Chinese at that time, if properly organized and supported by their home country, should have the opportunity to establish a Chinese nation in Southeast Asia.
Lin Fangda's eyes lit up and said, "I look forward to that day." ”
"Yes." Li Guangdao, in fact, Li Guang was just comforting this old man who would die soon. He wasn't sure if the reading power of Singapore's model was Lam Fonda's ideal.
Although Li Guang did not make any guarantees to Lin Fangda, he also had a thought in his heart at this time, if, if possible, could he promote Singapore's reading power at some point in the future, or even establish a real Chinese country?
Li Guang had a small notepad listing some of the histories he knew. But none of his records are about the Chinese in Malaya, and the arrival of Lin Fangda reminded Li Guang, and that night, he remembered two things, saying that when Ben attacked Malaya, there was also a Chinese volunteer army to resist, and he said that he also carried out a massacre against the Chinese in Singapore.
If he didn't know, Li Guang would still be able to deal with it calmly, but when Li Guang remembered the crime of this devil, he had to do something for the Chinese in Nanyang, and at least he had to give a reminder.
That night, Lin Fonda died of illness on Stone Statue Island. And Li Guang and Lin Fangda didn't even talk about how to support each other, and didn't talk about a little bit of cooperation.
Along with Lin Fangda came Lin Fangda's son Lin Mouzhong, daughter Lin Lili and grandson and several other family members. After receiving a letter from Lin Mouzhong's hand, Li Guang knew that Lin Fangda's trip of 10,000 miles was to support orphans.
Lin Fangda not only entrusted his family to Li Guang, but also entrusted a guerrilla force of more than 200 people to Li Guang. even entrusted his life's ideals to Li Guang.
Li Guang sat on the beach that night.
Waiting for Lin Fangda to settle down, Li Guang sent Lin Mouzhong and Lin Lili onto the freighter. He already knew something about this small guerrilla unit, which had not undergone much training at all, and Li Guang decided to take over this unit for training first. Lin Lili, on the other hand, brought a high-power radio back to Singapore to be responsible for providing intelligence transit.
Li Guang has learned a lot about some of the Lin family's situation in recent days. The Lin family is also quite powerful in Nanyang. Lin Mouzhong's cousin Lin Mousheng (this person has a historical prototype and temporarily takes the homonym.) He is the President of the Singapore Construction Association, a Director of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry, and an Executive Committee Member and Education Officer of the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan.
Lin Mouzhong and Lin Mousheng are the same age, both are 30 years old, and Lin Lili is only 25 years old. In fact, the guerrillas' operations were all led by Lin Mouzhong, and they had a lot of experience in jungle warfare. Lin Lili was sent to the United States to study telecommunications because of Lin Fangda's inconvenient communication. At the end of the 37th year, Lin Mousheng organized a number of strikes against his rubber and iron mines in Malaya as soon as the army began to invade China.
However, at present, among the Chinese community, the mainstream supports China's War of Resistance against Japan, but there are not many people who support the establishment of the armed reading power, so although Lin Fangda is famous, he does not receive a lot of financial support.
