Chapter 26: The United States, or Japan?

"If you were given another chance to study in the United States or Japan?"

"Japan."

……

Although Lu Zhuhu changed his doctrine and was invited to participate in the exhibition match between the Shanghai Chinese team and the national team (actually a selection match), it is a pity that the sky is not beautiful.

April 27, heavy rain.

28, heavy rain.

29, heavy rain.

The match scheduled for the 29th can only be cancelled. According to the itinerary, the national team will go to Nanjing, the capital of the Nationalist Government at this time, to participate in the mobilization activities before the expedition. The exhibition match with the Shanghai Chinese team will also be moved to Nanjing.

There is a joke that after the opening of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, the journey from Beijing to Shanghai was shortened to 8 hours, but in the Republic of China era, the Beijing-Shanghai railway only took 8 hours. (Prince Ma's language, auspicious and royal)

This is true, during the Republic of China, the whole journey of the Beijing-Shanghai Railway actually did not even take 8 hours.

Because the Beijing-Shanghai Railway at that time was not from Beijing to Shanghai, but from Nanjing to Shanghai, that is, the current Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, the total length was only more than 300 kilometers, according to the level of trains at that time about forty or fifty kilometers per hour. In 1912, when Sun Yat-sen was inaugurated as provisional president, he took a train from Shanghai to Nanjing, but it took more than seven hours.

On the night of the 29th, after Lu Zhuhu came to the Republic of China, he took an old-fashioned steam train for the first time and drove on this railway with historical vicissitudes to Jinling.

He wasn't a member of the national team, so he didn't travel with them, just one person. The swaying carriages, the characteristic "besides and besides" sound of the old train, and the continuous drizzle outside the car, I suddenly returned to the night when I went to school to report.

He is very familiar with this city, when he was a teenager, he would come here two or three times a year, lingering in front of an old blue brick house that imitated the Western style of the Republic of China, looking forward to seeing the little girl in this house one day come back -

Until now, he had never seen the girl come back.

……

Zhou Xianyan had a similar experience with him in foreign countries, so the two of them had a very happy conversation that day.

"From Brother Lu's words, there are a lot of misdeeds against the Japanese people, why do you want to study in the East?" Zhou Xianyan felt very strange, Lu Zhuhu obviously received a new type of education during his conversation, and was proficient in English, French, etc., and should have understood that the United States and Europe were much more developed than Japan, and they were more valued when they returned from abroad. Moreover, if he had gone four years ago, the September 18 Incident had already occurred, and the hatred of Japan in the country was already very high, and this was the ......

It's really puzzling.

"No," Lu said, "Japan's tickets are cheap – and I'm shy." ”

Zhou Xianyan: "......"

Everyone laughed, which was kind of understanding.

Zhou Xianyan also laughed and sighed: "But I also went to the United States before I knew what the situation was now." Today, the United States is indeed the most powerful country in the world. I don't know how long it will take for me to have that kind of weather......"

"So, we need people like Xianyan and Brother Lu to go abroad to learn new things from those countries, build our country, and sooner or later compare this Citigroup country to ......"

"Absolutely as I wish!" Zhou Xianyan nodded and looked at Lu Zhuhu: "The Japanese wolf is ambitious, and now they are unwilling to teach my country's students who are really useful, and you don't see how many times the students in Japan have protested with the Japanese government." ”

"If you were given another chance, the United States, or Japan?"

……

In fact, Lu Zhuhu has indeed faced this problem.

There are several very good colleges and universities in the United States – and even Yale.

At that time, Lu Zhuhu, who was stimulated by the chaotic football environment in China, once said: "I want to go to a country where there is no football anymore!" This shit ball! Disgusting balls! Money Deal Balls! Bastard balls! Talk about everything, just don't talk about ball! ”

Isn't the United States such a paradise of "no" football!

At that time, it was already imperative for him to go to the United States.

But when it came, he didn't go in the end.

But because I received a handmade postcard.

The source is Osaka, Japan.

……

Under the cherry blossom trees, two sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls in brightly colored kimonos sit side by side on a swing.

People are more delicate than flowers, smiling as if their curved eyebrows and eyes are coated with crystal honey.

The one on the right is Xi'er.

A big lady who doesn't understand anything.

It's been years since I saw her photo again.

Even if you look at it visually from the photo, it looks like it was taken when Xi'er was just separated from him.

"Silly Tiger! You see, do I look good in this pink outfit, or do I look good in this blue outfit? She smiled and pinched Ying Ying's small waist and said.

"The powder is good!" Lu Zhuhu looked at it, "Oh, Xi'er, this is a kimono, I don't think I should wear ......"

"Why?" Mo Xi'er stared at the big eyes and asked harmlessly.

"This, this is the clothes of the Japanese!"

"What happened to the Japanese clothes?" She's always at a loss.

"Hey, you really don't understand, we have a lot of hatred with the Japanese." Lu Zhuhu shook his head and said, Xi'er grew up overseas, she doesn't talk about this in school, and there may be no one to guide her at home?

Lu Zhuhu told her about the Jinling massacre, the mass grave, the Chinese laborers, Songhu, Changsha, Chongqing......

"The Japanese are so bad!" She looked at herself: "But this is just a piece of clothing, if it's clothes, isn't it just good-looking?" She looked at Lu Zhuhu pitifully, hating many countries and hating family hatred, and she didn't know very well what was right and wrong.

She's just a little kid who doesn't know anything.

These things, no matter who they put on them, Lu Zhuhu is extremely disgusted, and he has his own principles-

Isn't a kimono just a Japanese garment? Didn't you learn it from China? We have even lost our traditional clothes, but we have to turn to foreign clothes, or Japanese clothes, isn't this admiration for foreign people? What is not a dictionary forgotten?

But in Xi'er, he just can't hate it no matter what. - Although he still won't change his opinion that "what you admire Japanese is to forget your roots."

Xi'er's view is much simpler than him: this is the clothes, the clothes are good-looking, no matter what heavy connotation it has, the historical significance is a mess.

If you want to argue with her, you will never be able to argue with a result-

"Oh oh, Silly Tiger, you have a point. I remembered. I'll take notice. ”

Go back.

"Wow, this dress looks so good! I'm going to wear it! ”

“……”

……

There is a person who has all kinds of shortcomings that you can't understand, has extremely different ideas, and can't be educated by education, but you still can't help but think about her anytime and anywhere. Maybe that's love.

Therefore, when he finally got a little bit of information about her, he couldn't help but make up his mind immediately.

The United States, or Japan?

Japan.
