Whether it is the photo of Mr. Big seen in the Mo family's old house in later generations, or the words of the Mo family that came into contact with these days, it seems that they are avoiding Mr. Big's "weird" appearance, Lu Zhuhu has never seen anyone point out in person that Mr. Big is not like a Chinese, he himself is like this, Lu Zhuhu naturally does not talk much, today Mr. Big actually took the initiative to mention it, so that Lu Zhuhu is still very surprised.

The two entered the study, because it was only a temporary residence, there were not too many books in it, and there was only a row of Confucian classics, Song and Ming Dynasty articles and Buddhist scriptures on the shelves.

Mr. Big motioned for Lu Zhuhu to sit down, he was silent for a while, and then said, "My brother and I, your brother Qitao was not born to the same mother, do you know?" ”

Lu Zhuhu shook his head and nodded: "I seem to have heard of it." ”

"I'm an illegitimate child." He was serious about Lu Zhuhu and did not contain major mood swings, although he was very distressed about them early on.

Although there has been such speculation, he frankly said that this Lu Zhuhu is still very surprised, the Mo family has been rich for many generations, such a large industry to let an illegitimate child to control is somewhat inconsistent with the Chinese traditional "standing up for a long time" rule, this topic is not easy to comment.

"My mother, probably a Jewish woman, I don't know how my father met her, or when they separated. Maybe he met her when he first came to Europe, and he took me with him when he first returned home a few years later. ”

Mr. Big smiled, pointed to himself and said, "At that time, I was not too young, maybe not much younger than him is now Zhenfan, but I don't remember anything before returning to China, there is the first image of the old mansion, as if I was there all my life." ”

"My grandfather was much more conservative, he couldn't have accepted a foreign woman as a daughter-in-law, he said that a woman's feet were half as big as a man's, and she looked no different from a monster. He didn't even want me, saying—"

Although Mr. Big was just a child at that time, the image was still profound, and his lips trembled a little:

"This doesn't look like a person from the Qing Dynasty at all, or even like a ...... Alone. It would be a blasphemy to put his name on the genealogy, and if he died, he would be confused by his ancestors—I don't think it would be better to send it to the church, where the words of the missionaries are more suitable for him, and the strange things they teach are more useful to the 'foreigners......"

"My father fell out with him almost when he came back because he wouldn't let him marry a European woman. He was young and vigorous at that time, patted his ass and took a boat back to Europe, leaving me in the old mansion, what do you like to deal with the old man, send it to the church, anyway, it's your family's seed, you won't kill him at most, right? ”

Lu Zhuhu was shocked, this big gentleman's father - it sounds quite cold, right? It's cruel to a child!

"Then then—"

Mr. Big smiled: "I was very scared to stay alone at that time, especially at night, the old house was black and cool, and the family didn't seem to pay much attention to me, but I seemed to have my mother's genes, and when the people in the family didn't pay attention, I had already climbed to the roof, sat on the cornices and looked into the distance, did my father come back to pick me up——"

He laughed, Lu Zhuhu also laughed, and he was a little sad, in his memory, the old mansion of the Mo family was quite elegant and simple, but it was a cage for children.

"I was bumped into by my grandfather a few times, and I couldn't help laughing and scolding: It is true that the evolution of foreigners is not as complete as ours, and they will go up trees and climb over the wall when they are born - in fact, my grandfather still loves me very much, he is just angry that my father is disobedient and willful, at that time he wants to go out to watch the play, and he always wants to hug me and watch it together, but I am more afraid of the stage, and when I see the painted face, I cry and struggle to go home every time, and at this time I was knocked on the head by my grandfather: This little foreign devil doesn't even like to listen to such a beautiful play, Sure enough, it's different from us......" Now thinking back to the time when I went to the theater with my grandfather when I was a child, Mr. Big has a look of longing and melancholy on his face.

"At that time, Gong Lian went to his grandfather at home every once in a while to drink and talk about the current situation, and when he saw his grandfather calling him 'little foreign devil' and 'foreigner', he stopped it and said don't do this, it will hurt the child. He thought that I was no different from other people, and called me 'the little ghost head of the Mo family', and told my grandfather about the places that gradually fell out of place in the past 'Huayi's discrimination', and said that if you teach him the method Chinese of teaching foreigners, then he will be a foreigner in the future, and use the things that teach him to guide him, then he will not be different from others except for his appearance...... So later he said that he would personally urge me to read the sage classics, and gave me the name of 'Tao Xuan', and later changed it to ......" Both of them laughed, and Lu Zhuhu understood why Mr. Da saw his great-grandfather differently from others.

"Lian Gong Liangbang Jinshi was born, it's a pity, I couldn't study with his old man for a few more years, I have a child's heart, see her sneak out to play without paying attention, he was busy with official business at that time, and it is impossible to keep urging me, usually he came back, asked Mencius today? I said I memorized it, and basically wrote it down temporarily, and after he heard it, he said very well, go to your house to eat—" laughed.

"Such a good man, why can't God let him live even three and five more years......" Mr. Big muttered in a low voice. Because of him, my grandfather also valued me more and more, and I helped him take care of the family business at the age of twelve, and they all said that I had a good understanding and was quick to do things, but in fact, I just didn't want others to think that I was not doing well and said that it was because I was different from others. ”

He didn't play up much of the pain he suffered when he was a child when he was stared at because of his strange appearance, as if everything had come naturally.

"I didn't come to Europe for the first time until I was 20 years old, and my father had lived in Europe for many years, and he had only returned to China twice, once to marry Qitao's mother, and my grandfather told me that, and he agreed, because he had been separated from my mother for a long time. All he said to me was that you have grown this big? Then they went to Europe. Another time was when my grandfather died, and I was told that he didn't know how to manage the family's business in China, but fortunately, I had already taken over, so I would come to the Mo family in the future - this is also what my grandfather meant before he died. It was also the first time I met Qitao, he grew up in England, and he was a little older than Zhenfan is now, but I was still very happy, because although his mother was indeed 'Chinese', he could neither speak official or slang, and he was less like a 'Chinese' than me. ”

Mr. Big's smug appearance made Lu Zhuhu feel a little funny, and he thought: In fact, the kind of people who can't speak a word of Chinese in the future will be considered noble, right? That is, a strange person like Mr. Big will be complacent with the vulgarity of "a mess".

Listening to Mr. Da talk about the experience of half his life, Lu Zhuhu can roughly understand what he means: at the beginning, his parents were enthusiastically combined, completely ignoring the different cultural backgrounds and family acceptance at that time, and after the enthusiasm, the two patted their butts and scattered, but whether it was for themselves or their parents, there was a painful experience process, the most tragic was an innocent child, obviously, if it weren't for the open-minded and enlightened person like his great-great-grandfather, his own grandfather was a benevolent person with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, I'm afraid that what happened to him will be quite bleak, not to mention his status and identity today.

Although the traditional family leader has its rigid and stubborn place in ideas, two people with similar family backgrounds are more likely to have topics and get along more easily, just like his father later married the mother of Mr. Two, and it seems that he is doing well. When true love comes, it is natural to be able to overcome all poverty, hardship and cultural differences, but this enthusiasm is gone, and the legacy left behind is not only the two people who need to face......

"Did Mr. Big come to Europe and look for your mother?" Lu Zhuhu asked, he shouldn't be looking for it, after all, it was the bloodline of this foreign woman that made him so lonely when he was a child.

Mr. Big looked at him, "That's naturally - to find." Pointing to the Confucian classics on the table, he indicated that he had grown up reading the Confucian classics under the guidance of Lian Gong.

"She didn't have anything to be sorry for me, even after she separated from my father, she also wanted to take me with her, but don't look at my father as a Stayor, he is more ...... than my grandfather in his bones Tradition. He pondered a less offensive word: "Well, even if he doesn't like me that much, but his species, he won't let others raise it." ”

"Zhenfan and Jinhua's grandmother now lives in Thessaloniki, Greece, married to a Greek, and is very happy now, and she has children and grandchildren. I also took Jinhua to visit her last year. ”

Lu Zhuhu thought of the autobiographical film "Kikujiro's Summer" directed by the Japanese director Takeshi Kitano he knew, and turned away in the face of his mother, who abandoned him when he was a child......

Mr. Big, he is really a good person, "repay grievances with virtue", from his description, there has never been a bad person, even his father, who clearly doesn't care about him.

Speaking of his mother's presence in Greece, Mr. Big suddenly smiled: "How did you tell me how my mother went to Greece?" She...... Want to go to the first World Games in Athens? ”

“？？” Lu Zhuhu opened his mouth: "In 1896? ”

Mr. Big calculated for a moment and nodded: "It's a matter of the Guangxu period, right?" ”

Lu Zhuhu smiled awkwardly: "That...... Lingtang is really fashionable enough......"

Mr. Big waved his hand and smiled: "Why don't I say that Jinhua is a bit like her grandmother?" Her grandmother was also a fast runner when she was younger, and she always won first in their area......"

Lu Zhuhu is now basically an expert on the Olympic Games: "However, in the first World Games, female athletes were not allowed to participate......

Women were not allowed to participate in the ancient Olympic Games, and the first modern Olympic Games in Athens followed the ancient system, so the participants were all male athletes, mainly the idea of "the father of the modern Olympic Games" Coubertin, who was born in the aristocracy and was very conservative about women's participation, and his famous quote was: "In sports, a woman's greatest contribution is to encourage her son to achieve great results, not to break records herself." ”

The women's participation in the second Paris Olympics was still not officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee, and Coubertin continued to strongly oppose it, but there were already French women who participated in the pullback ball competition, and by the 8th Olympic Games in 1924, and in Paris, the 23rd Plenary Session of the International Olympic Committee passed a resolution to officially allow women to participate - it seems that the status of women in France is relatively high. So in Amsterdam '192, women competed in track and field for the first time, and Coca-Cola sponsored the Olympics for the first time......

What was taken for granted in later generations is difficult every step in this era, but human society is also speeding up its progress.

"It's true that I won't be allowed to participate. She began to think that the reason why female athletes were not allowed to participate was that, that contestant was not allowed to wear, was it? ”

Lu Zhuhu nodded: "It seems that there is such a saying." "In ancient times, the Olympic Games were indeed bare-naked, and the nakedness of the athletes meant giving gifts to the gods, and the organizing committee of the competition also encouraged the aesthetic evaluation of the male body, which was also judged by physical fitness and posture in those days.

But it's not completely naked - in ancient Greece it was forbidden to show your nakedness, so you would tie up the elongated one with a string to prevent something from being exposed...... It's kind of emotional to think about.

This topic is a little inappropriate, and Mr. Big can only laugh half helplessly and half funny: "She said at the time that if she didn't wear clothes because she was participating in the competition, then ...... There is nothing unacceptable ......"

Lu Zhuhu: "......" hehe, Ling Tang ...... It's a bit fierce......

But in the end, this was not the reason, so I still didn't participate. Fortunately, she met someone who was kind to her and stayed there. ”

Lu Zhuhu thought to himself, no wonder the eldest lady would definitely not be able to win the Olympic championship without her own help, but her own strength was already good - the source was found.

Although Lu Zhuhu is not a "raceist", it is certain that Chinese women in this period were weaker than foreigners because of hundreds of years of foot binding and staying at home.

It was from Mr. Big's words that her mother was Jewish and she was in Thessaloniki, Greece, that she inevitably thought of something related to the current German Führer-

In 1943, Nazi Germany planned to commit genocide by transporting Jews from Greece to Auschwitz and other death camps in Poland, where Thessaloniki was located, the largest Jewish community in Greece. The ruthless Führer and his German government went so far as to get along with a "bizarre" rule that Jews who were transported to death camps had to pay for the train themselves.

If you want to kill me, forget it, why do you want me to pay for myself to send myself over to you to die?

In short, the Nazis were so cold-blooded, and the innocent civilians in the war were not spared, and it is recorded that Nazi Germany transported a total of 58,585 Jews from Greece to concentration camps such as Auschwitz in Poland, and there is probably no greater hope for survival here than during the Jinling massacre.

Countless facts are always on the alert to land and chase the tiger, don't look at how polite and friendly His Excellency Hitler was on weekdays, he is the most difficult to clear in history, without exception.

If you think about it this way, it is really not surprising that Mr. Big is more identified with his Chinese identity - he has Chinese and Jewish ancestry, but if he identifies as a Jew, how can he still be active in Nazi Berlin now!

Only when he is a Chinese will he be treated as a friendly guest.
