Chapter 644: Loyalty to My Motherland, Loyalty to My President!
…… In the first week of April, the world's largest and most suspenseful general election was held simultaneously at 11,000 polling stations. Because the general election of the Republic of China is not a direct universal suffrage, voters actually elect the seats in the National Assembly, and the nominee of the party that wins more than 50% of the seats will automatically become the president of the country. Under these circumstances, Yang Qiu, who had made great achievements in recovering the territory and continuously implemented reforms, and also introduced the Cheng Cheng bill, had no opponents with the National Socialist Party, and the Democratic Party was not even a foil.
Although there is no suspense, it is still necessary to do a full set of plays. But when Yang Qiu smiled and took his family to the polling station set up in front of Peking University for the first time, and solemnly cast a vote in front of countless flashing lights, his heart had already flown to Europe.
"Leng Jie!"
The world-famous Paris Grand Chapter 644 Pledge allegiance to my motherland, allegiance to my president! At the door of Madame Curie's laboratory, Leng Jie and Yan Kici had just finished their five-day work when they saw a large group of Chinese students gathered outside and beckoned to them.
"Luo nerd, Ke Zhao, Xu Baoluo? It's all here today. Leng Jie and Yan Keats quickly froze. Because the people who came were all publicly-funded students sent by China in the past three years of 24, 25, and 26. Among them, there are not only students from the Department of Mathematics such as Hua Luogeng and Ke Zhao, but also Xu Baoluo and Zhao Zhongyao, two junior disciples of the Department of Physics, and even Zhou Peiyuan, a lecturer in the Department of Physics of Nanjing University who went abroad for short-term study.
After the end of the European War, Yang Qiu took advantage of the rare peacetime to accelerate the sending of international students to countries around the world. The United States and France were the two countries that accepted the most, followed by Germany and Great Britain, and finally Austria and Hungary, and if it were not for the poor relations between China and the Soviet Union, perhaps the Soviet universities would not have spared it. So it's not surprising to see black-haired, yellow-faced classmates speaking their hometown dialect on campus. The strange thing is that whether it is public or private, the study abroad career is very intense, and even on the rest day, everyone rarely gets together, but why is it all here today?
Yan Keats, like Leng Jie, was a seed student of the physics department who was selected that year, and he was loyal to my motherland and my president before Chapter 644 in Los Angeles, USA! Polytechnic studies. Since last year, he transferred to the University of Paris to continue his studies and joined the world-renowned Marie Curie laboratory team, where he met Leng Jie. As one of the top students on public assignment, he knows better how difficult this kind of gathering is. So he eagerly asked, "Is there something wrong with someone?" ”
"No one has an accident, we have something to do with you two." Zhou Peiyuan was the only one in this group who came to study for a short period of time as a teacher, so the students respected him very much, took out a telegram and handed it to the two of them and said: "I received this five days ago, and you two stayed in the laboratory for five days and five nights, so we had to come here every day." ”
Leng Jie thought it was an urgent matter at home, but after reading it, he found out that it was actually issued by the Office of Overseas Studies of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Domestic Science and Technology Dragon League and various universities. A telegram inviting them to return home! This is an extremely rare thing! Since the establishment of the Republic of China, especially after the country was actually controlled by Yang Qiu in 1915, the government's attitude towards international students has been much more lenient, even if someone occasionally joins the nationality of other countries, it is generally not uncommon, and the matter of marrying foreign wives is not uncommon, not to mention this kind of large-scale recall similar to that of the Manchu government.
What the hell is going on in the country? Economic crisis? Everyone shook their heads, the economic crisis is not enough to recall international students, and not long ago, the Office of Study Abroad also sent a telegram to all expatriate agencies and representatives of international students. He said that he would continue to ensure that the study expenses of publicly-funded students were not reduced, and even cut the budgets of many government departments to meet them, which made everyone very moved.
It's been a few days. It's suddenly going to be recalled, no wonder everyone doesn't understand.
Everyone's eyes gradually converged on Zhou Peiyuan, and he said with a smile: "After receiving the telegram, I contacted the consulate in Paris, and also went to Belgium to meet Ambassador Lu Zhengxiang. The ambassador told me that this recall is not only for us, but also for 33,000 students who have studied abroad for three years from 25 to 27 years and stayed abroad in the early years! Even those who were the first to complete their studies in the 28-year class will be recalled, mathematics, physics, chemistry, radio, medicine, liberal arts, etc. Ambassador Lu also told me that in addition to us public students, private students who have completed their studies have also received telegrams, and Chinese embassies around the world have also received requests to take advantage of the economic crisis. The opportunity of the wave of unemployment in Europe and the United States to hire top scientists and technicians to start a business in our country letter. In the past few days alone, they have received dozens of calls from Austria, the Czech Republic, and Hungary. Mr. Neumann has already agreed to go to Nanjing University as a visiting professor! ”
"Wow! So many people! ”
"Teacher Zhou, do you have a big plan?"
"Feng. Professor Neumann?! Is it true? When I was in Germany, I even listened to his classes! ”
There were not only student representatives who went to France to send to France. There are also young people who study abroad privately. Although we all have different academics and grades, we have one thing in common. They are all young, the oldest is only in his early 30s, and serving the motherland is still everyone's biggest dream. So when I heard that the recall was so strong, the scope was so wide, and the top talents from Europe and the United States were to be introduced, the body, heart and blood instantly became hot!
"I don't know, but before I came back, Ambassador Lu told me that he had received a telegram that we are today, right now! A new president has been born! ”
"Really? The election results are in? "Even if they know that there is no suspense about the domestic election, the international students, including Leng Jie, still can't ignore it. Zhou Peiyuan was even more excited, and his eyes were moist when he spoke: "He unified the country, and he still gritted his teeth and insisted on compulsory education when everything was in ruins." It took him 19 years to complete the construction of basic industries, and it took 19 years! Send 150,000 students, including us, out of the country, and allocate $20 million a year to support us. We owe him 19 years, we owe the country 19 years! Today is finally waiting for the opportunity to repay the service, he is a new president who attaches importance to education, talent, science and technology! I'm so proud of him! ”
"We've waited!"
"Haha, Luo nerd, we have a new president!"
Every international student gathered around was moved by these words, and even Yang Qiu later wrote in his memoirs that he never imagined that his influence among the younger generation would be so huge!
Someone once said that the period before and after Xinhai was the second glorious era of Assassin culture in Chinese history, but those who said this forgot that there was only the simplest, most passionate, and most persistent, and only the era when the warrior died as a confidant! There are so many splendid assassins.
Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty's Westernization Movement, how many capable people with lofty ideals have the desire to serve the country. Crossing the ocean to ask for new knowledge. Some of them died in a foreign land, and some died in the sea, but they still couldn't stop the dream of a strong country from the heart. Therefore, when they returned to China, they found that the country was still a desert, so they gave up their profession and devoted themselves to the revolution. Carrying a bag of explosives to vent dissatisfaction in the simplest language. But now it's different! Since 1912, Yang Qiu has implemented compulsory education for all in his jurisdiction, and later it has been extended to the whole country.
None of the people present knew how widespread compulsory education was, but they only needed to see the smiling elementary and middle school students on the streets. The fact that a high school student or college student has sailed across the ocean is enough to prove that he has done a good job.
But not everyone wants to return to China immediately, it's not that they are unpatriotic, but that many people can't let go of the topics they are studying at hand and the good educational environment abroad that they have become accustomed to. When everyone was in a dilemma between returning to China and continuing their studies, a melody suddenly sounded from the side. Everyone turned their heads to look, and the one who sang was actually Hua Luogeng, who had been nicknamed Luo Nerd by everyone because of his hard work. I saw him slowly roll up the book and stare at the east. No one else was humming softly.
Rivers and mountains only linger in my dreams.
The motherland has not been close for many years.
But no matter what.
It can't be changed.
My Chinese heart.
Although the dress is worn.
My heart is still Chinese.
My ancestors have long since taken everything from me.
Branded with the Chinese stamp ...... Yangtze River and Yellow River.
It weighs a thousand pounds in my heart.
Anytime, anywhere.
The heart is as close as ever.
Blood shed in the heart.
The surging voice of China cannot be changed even if you are in another country.
My Chinese Heart...... No one knows when this song "Chinese Heart" spread among international students, everyone only knows that it was the first time they heard it. It was at the London Chinese Students Association that several naval cadets who interned at the Greenwich Naval Academy in the United Kingdom took the lead in singing by chance. The trainee officers said that they heard this from Colonel Bingwen, who is known as the Five Tigers of the Navy, and it doesn't matter whether Colonel Bingwen is the original or not!
Simple lyrics, touching melody, compose a world-famous song! The most unforgettable thing is that this famous song is simply tailor-made for thousands of wanderers who are adrift overseas!
The singing gradually became louder, and every Chinese student present sang along to the beat, and at the end of the year, they couldn't help but burst into tears. The singing also attracted the attention of hundreds of foreign students who pointed at him.
"I'll go back!" Sing a song. Leng Jie took the lead to stand up: "I remember that before I came out, I happened to encounter the Qinghai earthquake when I participated in the Northwest Expedition, and I also met Mr. Zhan Tianyou who went to the Longhai Line to inspect the damage. At that time, we saw a lot of victims, and I and others couldn't understand why the soldiers didn't distribute the relief food so quickly. Later, I learned that if you only send food, I am afraid that the country will not be able to save so many mouths if it is poor!
Mr. Zhan Tianyou told me that day. This is the real China. He told me, "Nation-building is not just an empty word, it takes everyone's effort!" "He is a role model for all of us, and the great project he proposed for the Ring China Railway has amazed the world. What's even greater is that there is a man who is turning his dream into reality! I feel honored that I have encountered the best years compared to Mr. Zhan's generation. He's retired, then, now it's my turn I'm going home, I'm going to go the way he left behind. ”
"Loyalty to my homeland, loyalty to my president...... rs!!!
