Chapter 203 Yanhuanghong Party Building Achievements Exhibition Week
Harvard University is one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the Republic of the Stars and Stripes. Its headquarters are located in the historic city of Boston, where the medical school and business school are located in downtown Boston. In Cambridge City, Harvard University is bordered by the eponymous Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and there is no clear boundary between the two campuses.
At the end of November 1943, Cambridge City, the headquarters of Harvard University in the Republic of the Stars and Stripes, was carrying out a large-scale exhibition called "Yanhuanghong Party Construction Achievements Exhibition Week". The layout of the entire exhibition area refers to the investment exhibitions of later generations, and takes the form of photos, black-and-white films, physical models, and the distribution of paper promotional materials. Since there was a previous contract with the Stars and Stripes on the purchase of aerial bombs, there was no shortage of dollars in the hands of the Red Party border district at this time. With money, in a country like capitalism, where money is generally king, Wang Fan (disguised as a middle-aged man, Tang Wei) threw out US dollars, advertised in well-known newspapers such as the Washington Post and the Boston Morning Post, and finally made the exhibition known to everyone in the Republic of the Stars and Stripes.
Considering that it was winter at this time, the entire exhibition was arranged in a long building with orange sè, which was very large, and coupled with the massive pictures and other materials brought by Wang Fan and them, the information disclosed was very high. Among them, there are as many as 700 photos of the improvement of ordinary residents' living houses and student teaching school buildings in the Zèngfǔ area of the Red Party Border District, and the method of comparing and taking pictures of the huge changes before and after the same Yanhuang people's houses, the detailed listing of the school's construction photos from scratch, and the number of 100 new-style public schools are displayed in a row to fully illustrate the improvement of people's livelihood and progress under the rule of the Red Party.
Here the emphasis is on the people's livelihood, and it is Wang Fan's idea and insistence to deliberately avoid the dispute of "isms". Before preparing to go to the Stars and Stripes Republic Working Group (about 50 people), Wang Fan deliberately interviewed one by one, focusing on the "red sè" complex and flexible "emotional intelligence" of the interviewers. In Wang Fan's words: This trip to the Stars and Stripes is not to disseminate the ideology of propagationism, nor is it to debate the victory of the ** and the defeat of capitalism. We have only one goal, that is, to win back the students, experts and professors who are studying in the universities and colleges of the Stars and Stripes Republic at this time. If the people in the working group don't understand this, they will only add to the confusion and can withdraw now.
Therefore, the core of the "Exhibition Week" is the "people's livelihood" card, with a large number of photos, film and film copies of materials, which truly narrate the improvement of the living standards and quality of life of the people of Yan and Huang under the governance of the Red Party.
In the exhibition hall, in addition to standing in their respective display areas and explaining the content, the working group also worked with the hired locals to divide several large areas with wooden partitions, and set aside a main road to visit according to the display plan formulated earlier, so that visitors can easily browse the entire exhibition.
It needs to be mentioned here that in the history of the main plane, due to the invasion of Yanhuang by the Japanese invaders, the work of Yanhuang students going abroad to study abroad has almost come to a standstill since 1937. It was not until the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941 that the relationship between the Stars and Stripes Republic and the Yan and Huang Republic began to grow closer because of the needs of the war. Then, around March 1943, with the great change of superiority in the Pacific naval war, the Yan and Huang people saw that the victory of the War of Resistance was in sight, and the bald party Chairman Jiang published "The Fate of Yan and Huang", proposing that in order to adapt to the post-war national construction, it was necessary to start preparing talent reserves.
To this end, the Ministry of Education of the Bald Party formulated the "Five-Year Education Plan for Overseas Students", "Outline of the Plan for Sending Publicly-Funded Students to Study in England in 1943", "Measures for Dispatching Self-financed Students to Study Abroad", etc., and sent a large number of international students several times from 1943 to 1945. But it is quite ironic that when these students graduated and were ready to return around 1950, the bald party was gone, losing the Yanhuang Continent and having to retreat to a corner of the treasure island.
Therefore, in the history of the main plane, these students later split into several parts, some joined the Red Party, some stayed in the Stars and Stripes to develop, and a very small part went to Taiwan. However, since the target plane had only arrived in 1943 and the future of the Pacific War was uncertain, not only had the life trajectories of these students changed, but the total number of Yan and Huang students and professors in the Stars and Stripes Republic at this time was much smaller than in 1949.
But the so-called condensed ones are all jīng hua, although the number of these people is small, but there are many big cows! Among them are the "two coins" in the "three coins" of the later founding of the country's science and technology giants: Qian Xuesen and Qian Weichang.
Qian Xuesen, the "father of Chinese missiles", had obtained a doctorate in aeronautics and mathematics from the California Institute of Technology in the Republic of the Stars and Stripes, and was an assistant professor at the California Institute of Technology in 1943. Qian Weichang, the "father of Chinese mechanics", received his doctorate in 1942 and was doing postdoctoral research at the California Institute of Technology and the National Institute of Spraying and Propulsion in the Republic of Stars and Stripes. After seeing Wang Fan's vigorous propaganda advertisement in the newspaper this time, he couldn't help but have doubts and impulses in his heart, and came to Harvard University to watch the exhibition with Lin Jiaqiao and Guo Yonghuai.
As soon as a few people enter the hall, they can see the hanging painting of "Minsheng" written in Chinese, and then walk to the left along the main road to visit, and you will see wooden walls full of photos one after another, which are full of: the happy smiling faces of children in class, the excitement of running on the cāo field, the brand-new classroom cleaned, the bright glass of the classroom welcoming the sun, and the complete rì lights and teaching equipment; The furniture of ordinary houses, the neatly painted cottages, the country roads paved with cement or asphalt, and the old farmers in the fields who are smiling with the sun on their faces on their three-wheeled motorcycles~~~~.
One after another, scene after scene, ordinary Star-Spangled Banner citizens walked through the photo wall just by browsing roughly, and the four of them watched it for a whole morning, they were serious, staring and watching, comparing before and after, not missing a detail, not forgetting a smiling face, as if they wanted to find a trace from the photo, a kind of evidence, a kind of unbelievable change that can prove Yan Huang, is not fiction, not fake evidence.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the four people who hastily ate lunch continued to a small playing room in the exhibition hall to watch a black and white film with sound (note: the first sound film appeared in 1926, and it did not seem abrupt here), and quietly watched the changes in the mountains and rivers of the motherland far away from the film for many years.
Students in a primary school classroom.
Most of the male and female students in the classroom were in the fourth and fifth grades, dressed in neat school uniforms, sitting upright with their upper bodies upright, listening carefully to the lectures of the teachers on the podium in front of them. The expression of each elementary school student is serious, and the eyes reveal a thirst for knowledge. The chairs under them are the same as the desks in front of them, and they look like newly made wooden desks and chairs. The textbooks spread out on the desk are also very beautiful, although they are not as colorful as those of later generations, but the simplicity and elegance of the blue sè book cover are still in place.
Each student also had their own pencil case, and in the clip of their homework, from time to time, a child gently took out a pencil sharpener, carefully put the pencil inside, and turned it carefully, for fear of screwing the pencil lead with too much force. The second half of the teaching piece seems to be in the afternoon, the students happily assemble what wooden model, the thin wooden strips become an orderly and regular combination under the teacher's explanation, and soon, the outline of a wooden biplane is presented, and each student holds it and happily swings it up and down.
"Can the lives of the people in the Northwest really be improved like this?" The more Qian Xuesen looked at it, the more puzzled he became, and muttered to himself.
"It shouldn't be fake, we carefully analyzed those photos all morning, especially the photos of the 100 schools, from all the details, it will not be taken by several schools from different angles, fictional patchwork." Qian Weichang answered.
"If that's the case, then the future of our country now is," Guo Yonghuai said with some words.
"Do you want to say that the name is not right, and the word is not right?" Lin Jiaqiao glanced at Guo Yonghuai and answered.
"Yes, after all, zhōngyāng is still in chóngqìng, and the Red Party's intention to replace it with such fanfare as the Stars and Stripes this time is obvious." Guo Yonghuai nodded.
"There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust." Qian Weichang didn't mix too much, and just commented on it with ancient famous sentences.
"I'm going to think about it!" Qian Xuesen answered abruptly, and after the other three heard it, they tacitly did not speak, but they all understood the meaning of Qian Xuesen's words, and it was indeed time to think carefully about where they should go.
As for the rest of the Star-Spangled Banner, the populace was drawn to the other two black-and-white films.
On the screen in the playback room next to Qian Xuesen's location, accompanied by pleasant background music and the star-striped banner English, a farmer in northern Shaanxi wearing a gray sè shirt appeared, making some kind of pasta with his wife. After steaming, crushing, and fermentation, the millet with a slightly inferior taste has become a delicacy that people love to eat. On the screen, the original ecological scene of the fifty-year-old man's head sweating, rubbing and crushing vigorously brought out the unique life atmosphere of northern Shaanxi, and with the deepening of the story, a variety of jīng beautiful noodles in Shanxi, such as mutton buns, Lanzhou ramen, Baiji steamed meat, etc., were presented one by one, stimulating the throats of most of the audience, and an indescribable closeness and simplicity flowed in the hearts of everyone at the scene.
Carl is a mechanic and a man of reason, so his temptation to eat is not uncontrollable, although he yearns for it. I saw another screen in front of him, a blacksmith about forty years old, who was gathering jīng to put an iron bar into a blast furnace with a high temperature of thousands of degrees to burn red, and then take it out while it was hot, sprinkle iron powder as a binder, stick a small piece of steel ingot, and continue to put it into the blast furnace to heat it red, quickly take it out after a few minutes, and then hit it violently with a hammer to let the steel ingot and iron bar gradually dissolve into one, and finally under the introduction of the narrator, After more than 100 processes, this rough embryo becomes a beautiful Yanhuang knife product. And in front of the small screening room, several groups of these handmade knives are placed in layers, shining in the shè light.
"Carl, what's wrong?" Colleague Simon asked.
"Simon, even though they're still making knives in a very primitive way, the finished product is beautiful, the process is artistic, and it's very appealing, isn't it?" Carl asked.
"Well, there is a kind of dedication and touching, a kind of persistence and love for their own career." Simon replied.
"I've decided, I'm going to Yanhuang Northwest." Karl said in a sudden and aggravated tone.
“what? You are crazy?! ”
“no! I just want to go there and see for myself, see this blacksmith and get a feel for this life! Carl, who had made up his mind, said solemnly.
In this way, under the influence of the "Exhibition Week" held by Wang Fan, nearly half of the Yanhuang students and experts who studied in the Star-Spangled Banner, as well as some citizens of the Stars and Stripes Republic, boarded one DC-47 transport plane after another to Yanhuang with an attitude of affirmation or curiosity about the people's lives under the rule of the Yanhuang Red Party.
