86_86695 "The Chinese are the most politically conscious people in the world. At the same time, the Chinese are also the most learning-loving people in the world. ”

——"Chronicles of Great China" by Zeng Dezhao

"Like all other missionaries, I discovered that China was both heaven and hell for us people not long after I arrived in China."

"China, which is rich in materials and rich in people, is the most beautiful country in the world. Perfect municipal facilities, a systematic public management system, an adequate social welfare system, plus a wealthy and well-educated Chinese people. This qiē not only surprised us strangers when they first arrived, but also made us feel admired. ”

"You know, in this day and age, the vast majority of people in Europe, whether nobles or slaves, are incredibly rude and stupid. Even in a big city like Paris, the state of the city is quite bad. Excrement, sewage, diseases and pestilences of all kinds were the masters of European towns in this era. ”

"From a personal experience, after my expulsion from the Ming government, I was often exposed to the lives of ordinary Chinese in South China. I found that even the Chinese at the bottom of society, although their lives were relatively difficult, they were able to enjoy life in taverns and tea houses often. In the rural tea houses outside the city, I often met ordinary Chinese farmers eating and drinking tea there. ”

"Their lives are certainly not as laid-back and artistic as those of Chinese gentlemen. However, compared to the European farmers who lived like pigs in the sludge and haysheds, it was clear that they were living a heavenly life. Although the discrimination and dislike of the low-level Chinese towards us foreigners is more direct and obvious than those Chinese gentlemen, who are generally comparable to European artists and philosophers, God does not allow me to lie about their actual situation. ”

"However, it was precisely this discrimination and dislike that made me realize that spreading the glory of God in China is as difficult as saving fallen angels from hell."

"Confucius, the philosopher before God, ruled the Eastern world like an octopus. Whether in China, or in China's vassal states of Annan, Korea, and other dozens of countries, Confucius is the uncrowned king of all the Eastern civilizations. This pagan sect leader has penetrated all Orientals, both in their living habits and daily etiquette. ”

More importantly, Confucius and his followers tied his doctrine to the regime of the Eastern Empire. As far as the Chinese gentlemen I met were concerned, their interest in us was more focused on technical and scientific knowledge. Even those Chinese gentlemen who accepted the belief in God were completely Confucian in their sense of etiquette and ethics. On one point alone, none of the Chinese gentlemen who believed in God gave up their sacrifice and worship of their ancestors. ”

"The reason why the brothers Wang Fengsu (an Italian missionary) and the brothers Pang Di I (a Spanish missionary) and Xiong Sanba (an Italian missionary) in Beijing eagerly promoted a radical missionary strategy and led to the outbreak of the 'Nanjing Missionary' was a reaction of anxiety in this situation. In our view, while the missionary strategy of the Matteo Ricci brothers has been effective in promoting the spread of God's glory in China, we also see the crisis of the assimilation of the sacred religion into Chinese culture. ”

"Because I myself have seen in the history books of China what we might do. According to clear records of Chinese history, Nestorian missionaries were already active in China a thousand years ago. Although they achieved great things, they even converted several great emperors of the Tang Dynasty to God. However, their fate also teaches us a vivid lesson. Eastern Roman Christianity, known to the Chinese a thousand years ago as Nestorian Christianity, was finally assimilated by the Chinese and disappeared into the long river of history. ”

"It was only when I met His Majesty the Emperor for the second time that His Excellency Wang Shuhui ('The glory of God is at his feet, Amen') took me as an object to communicate with. However, as soon as he spoke, I fell into a sense of crisis. I distinctly remember him saying to me in a well-pronounced northern Chinese, 'You Nestorian missionaries...... When I heard this, my mind was so empty that I didn't remember the words of His Majesty the Great Emperor at all. ”

"At the time, I was thinking, 'Oh God, this is a complete misunderstanding.'" However, just after I opened my mouth to explain a few words to His Majesty the Great Emperor. His Excellency Marquis Jia Sanqiang, who was in charge of escorting at that time and later served as the governor of Donghua (North America), used a black steel rod to remind me to observe the etiquette of meeting nobles. You know, in the East, especially in the later era of the Chinese Empire, interrupting the conversation of the higher-ups, the power that ordinary Chinese at the lowest level have, can only be enjoyed by a few foreigners who have acquired Chinese nationality. ”

"Obviously, at that time, His Majesty the Great Emperor did not like his words to be interrupted. I saw him with an impatient expression ordering the soldiers to take me back to prison. From then on, I began to live in prison for many years. For a long time after that, I was not received by His Majesty the Great Emperor. ”

"Because I was still in the early days of His Excellency Wang Shuhui's ('Glory of God is at his feet, Amen') to establish the Chinese Empire, I met many great men who later achieved great things. After I returned to prison, His Excellency Chen Feng, who later served as one of the prime ministers of the Chinese Empire, came to the prison and read to me the trial of a court under the People's Committee called the Legal Affairs Center. ”

"Because of His Excellency Chen Feng's accent, it was only later that I found out about the crime I was convicted of in the public information of the Chinese Empire for public inquiry. The charge is called 'endangering national security'. Because I am a foreigner, I have no political rights in China to take away, so I am deprived of my human rights. ”

Forty years later, this charge would have seemed quite terrible. The punishment for this crime, indefinite imprisonment and deprivation of human rights, was also very horrific in the eyes of people in the post-imperial Chinese era. But at that time, it was still a rather inexplicable punishment for the Ming Dynasty, which still fully controlled the power of the state. ”

"For people in the Ming Dynasty, not being sentenced to exile and death was a minor punishment. The Ming Dynasty did not have the word of indefinite imprisonment at all. Neither Chinese nor foreigners had any human rights in China at that time. ”

"Later, when I came into contact with Ba'ath Party materials, I realized that human rights were nothing more than a rhetoric for the Ba'ath Party's ideological promotion to the outside world. Now, most of the human rights activists who are making waves in all European countries are actually fellows who receive Chinese dollar subsidies.

With the blessing of His Majesty the Great Emperor, now that I have Chinese nationality, I can enjoy the freedom of speech guaranteed by the Chinese Empire. You must know what kind of fate will happen to those who say such things if they do not have the nationality of the Chinese Empire. ”

- "I Am a Citizen of the Chinese Empire" by Zeng Dezhao

Wang Shuhui found that the attitude of Chinese in this era towards foreigners is very similar to that of Wang Shuhui's era. In modern society, the parents and grandparents of Wang Shuhui's age group have shown a nationalistic tendency in their treatment of foreigners. As long as it involves foreigners, they will show vigilance and hostility.

People in Wang Shuhui's age group have a markedly different attitude towards foreigners than their parents and grandparents.

Although people of their age are also angry and angry at the humiliation suffered by China in recent history, they grew up in the stage when China returned to the first place in the world. When facing foreigners, what they show is more of a transcendent self-confidence and calmness. Apart from the United States, there is no country in the world that can match China, and even the United States will soon be overtaken by China. This is a consensus of the young people of Wang Shuhui's era.

In the face of Europeans, because of the general decline of European countries caused by the economic crisis, people of Wang Shuhui's age looked down on Europeans more. In their eyes, it is very obscene and ridiculous for European countries that are in a serious economic and social recession, but regard environmental protection and human rights propaganda as the only means of export.

For his part, Wang Shuhui believes that Europeans are readjusting to where they were born – backward and declining second-rate countries.

Wang Shuhui despises modern Europeans who are in complete decline. Europeans, who are now in the stage of social uplift, are also generally looked down upon by the Chinese in the Ming Dynasty. Several relatively young uncles of Zhu Weiyan, the wife of Wang Shuhui, who had never seen the red-haired Yi, also went to the prison to see the missionary.

Wang Shuhui has listened to their impressions. Roughly speaking, they are all clichés such as "barbarians", "raw people", "uncivilized", and "need to be educated".

Wang Shuhui also asked several guards and administrative staff on duty around him. They also had a more unified view of the missionary Zeng Dezhao. Most people think that Zeng Dezhao is a very indifferent thing, like a wild cat and wild dog. Obviously, they felt that since Mr. Zeng Dezhao had snooped on the Fuxing Group, he had committed a real crime. Then, just cut him off.

Wang Shuhui can't say they're wrong. If they are not part of the Revival Society (the revival assessment ended in mid-September, and more than 400 people joined the revival society); If they were still in the state of mind of the Ming Dynasty or even the Qing Dynasty later, Wang Shuhui would have said something to be vigilant and learn from the West.

However, Wang Shuhui felt that it was natural for the members of the Revival Society, who are in the current world, and even in the next two or three hundred years, to be the most advanced organization in the world, and who have studied and practiced cultural knowledge and ideological theories that surpass the two or three hundred years of this era, to say things that despise and discriminate against Europeans.

Naturally, under Wang Shuhui's thinking, the fate of Missionary Zeng Dezhao was rather miserable. He was sentenced by the People's Committee's Legal Affairs Center to the same punishment as Zhang Tianlu's Jinyiwei spies and several spies of several large bandits outside Zhijiang County: deprived of his rights and subjected to labor reform in a coal mine under Wang Shuhui's name.

It was in the process of labor reform that Zeng Dezhao discovered that under Wang Shuhui's rule, no matter how old they are or what kind of work they are engaged in, they are obviously very fond of learning. Even these criminals were ordered to be educated in addition to their daily hard work
