Chapter 19: Arrogance

On the long table in the shade, Gu Sansanwu showed a triumphant expression.

Before the race, Gu Sansanwu was really worried that his disciples would not win so easily, but after the start, Gu Sansanwu also immediately realized that the contestants from Fudan High School had not undergone professional sprinting training at all.

At this time, Gu Sansanwu knew that Masao Yamazaki had won.

Principal Li next to him showed a disappointed expression, but this disappointment was only fleeting, and then it returned to normal.

In this era, Fudan High School and Fudan University are the same, Fudan High School can even be regarded as the preparatory department of Fudan University, and President Li is the president of Fudan University and the president of Fudan High School.

President Li was born in Nanyang, went to the United States to study at the age of 19, and was a top student at Yale University, he stayed in the United States for eight or nine years, so he has an understanding of the extent to which competitive sports abroad have developed. He also knows that running 13 seconds in the 100 meters is not fast among high school students in the United States, and at the level of Deng Zhiguo, he can play a horizontal role in old Shanghai, which is the second-rate level in those sports powerhouses in Europe and the United States.

However, Principal Li still has some expectations for his students, and at the same time, he also has a kind of luck in his heart, maybe the Japanese people's sports level is relatively average.

Although Japan is not a European or American country, it is also a "great power" of this era, and its level in sports is indeed higher than that of China.

So after losing the game, Principal Li quickly corrected his mentality.

There is nothing to be embarrassed to admit that China is backward, and what he wants to do as the president of Fudan is to cultivate outstanding talents for China and make China strong?

President Li even felt that today's defeat was not necessarily a bad thing, at least it made the students realize that the gap between China and the great powers, only by knowing that they are weaker than others, will they inspire the determination to work hard and strive to catch up!

"Principal Li, admit it!" Gu Sansanwu's slightly northeastern voice sounded, and he tried his best to show the smug emotions in his words.

However, President Li on the other side is a top student of Yale University, a first-class educator and scholar of this era, and Gu Sansanwu still showed a certain humility when facing President Li. After all, Gu Sansanwu has participated in the Olympic Games, and he can be regarded as a Japanese who has seen the world, and he is still more polite to scholars.

This learned man will be respected wherever he goes.

Principal Li felt that Gu Sansanwu was deliberately demonstrating, he didn't take it to heart, but smiled gentlemanly, without showing the frustration of failure at all, and naturally revealed a wisp of the temperament of an elder, and said: "What a famous teacher and a high apprentice, Masao Yamazaki has the style you had back then, I believe he will shine in the future!" ”

Gu Sansanwu also knew that President Li was purely polite, what kind of "demeanor" did he have when he participated in the Olympic Games? It's not that they have been eliminated by European and American athletes!

Since people say polite words, then Gu Sansanwu will also follow politely! In terms of pretending to be polite, the Japanese consider themselves second, and no one dares to admit first.

On the other side, at the end of the track, Deng Zhiguo and the others lowered their heads and looked depressed.

When I lost the game, I felt uncomfortable, and people came to challenge me, and I actually lost, which was even more uncomfortable.

The key is that Masao Yamazaki is indeed running fast, and Deng Zhiguo can't find a reason to excuse him.

Skills are not as good as others, and you have no temper when you lose!

Disappointment, frustration, and unwillingness, that's probably it, and there isn't much "anti-Japanese" national sentiment.

Before the September 18 Incident, Japan's perception of Japan in China was still stuck in the word "great powers."

Since the Opium War in 1840, China has suffered from invasion by too many foreign powers, signed too many unequal treaties, and lost a lot of land. In the eyes of most people, Orientals and Westerners are the same kind, and they both come to take advantage of China.

Perhaps many people are used to being bullied and taken advantage of by the great powers, and if the great powers do not take advantage of China, they can be publicized as a victory.

The Westernization Movement opened the door for China to learn from the West, and Japan has become the object of Chinese study since the Meiji Restoration became strong, and because Japan is relatively close to China, and at the same time it is visa-free for China, so there were a large number of students who went to Japan to study at that time, such as studying in Japan, and there were not a few people who took Japanese wives among the big bulls of the Republic of China.

Therefore, even after the First Sino-Japanese War, even if Lushun was lost in the Russo-Japanese War, even if Jiaozhou Bay was lost in the First World War, and even if Japan caused the Jinan Massacre, at that time, ordinary people did not realize the real wolf ambition of the Japanese invaders. Even after the 918 Incident, most people still felt that the Japanese just wanted to separate the three eastern provinces from China, and the old Shanghai was still singing and dancing.

As Lu Xun wrote in "Mr. Fujino", there were too many numb people in China at that time. And those who are numb will even feel that the Northeast is far away from Shanghai, are the Northeast people being bullied, and what does it have to do with them?

After the North China incident, let the Chinese understand that the aggressors did not stop, and Japan still wanted the five provinces of North China. After the 77 incident, the Chinese finally realized that the five provinces of North China were not the ultimate goal of the Japanese, they wanted the whole of China, and they wanted to destroy China!

However, in the twenties, people generally did not understand the purpose of the Japanese invaders, so when Deng Zhiguo lost to Masao Yamazaki, he did not arouse specific national emotions in his heart, but was able to accept defeat very calmly.

In sports competitions, the results are set high, and no one is fast when you run, and there is nothing to say if you lose. Besides, they are still great powers, and they are stronger countries than China.

Although he lost the game, he didn't lose the game, Deng Zhiguo still stepped forward to shake hands with Masao Yamazaki very friendly.

Unexpectedly, Masao Yamazaki threw his hand away, obviously not wanting to shake hands with Deng Zhiguo.

This is a very faceless performance. In sprint races, it is an international practice for athletes to shake each other's hands, pat each other on the shoulder, or even hug each other after crossing the finish line, even now.

However, this is only the beginning, Masao Yamazaki not only did not give face, he also looked at Deng Zhiguo with a contemptuous eye, and then said four words in broken Chinese:

"The sick man of East Asia!"

"What did you say!" Deng Zhiguo's face suddenly turned red. Even though Masao Yamazaki's Northeast dialect still has some exotic accents, Deng Zhiguo still understood these four words immediately.

"You don't understand?" Masao Yamazaki pursed his lips, deliberately slowed down his speech and said, "The sick man of East Asia! ”

Masao Yamazaki's Chinese is obviously inferior to Gu Sansanwu, but the four words "East Asian sick man" are still heard by everyone.

"I'm just running a little slower than you, why do you say I'm the sick man of East Asia!" Deng Zhiguo immediately became angry.

Masao Yamazaki still looked empty-eyed, he shook his head, and said, "I, not to say you, are the sick man of East Asia. ”

"And who are you talking about?" Zhang Liangcai next to him asked.

"I mean, you Chinese, the sick man of East Asia, all are!"

Masao Yamazaki arrogantly stretched out his arm, not only pointing at Deng Zhiguo and the other four athletes, but also pointing at everyone around!

Masao Yamazaki is saying that Chinese are the sick men of East Asia!

The audience was in an uproar......
