"Do you know that while Milliscent Fawcett and her partners were demonstrating to the government that women were capable of rational political negotiation – refuting the notion of 'women's impotence' with practical actions, the suffragette (suffragtte) and Ms. Emmeline began to smash and rob? Thankfully, however, the UK government is also aware that suffragists are the mainstream of the feminist movement, that suffragettes are just a small part of the stubble of the feminist movement, and that the efforts of Millicent Fawcett and her allies have offset the tarnishing of the image of women by violent gangs. ”

What happened next might seem even more ridiculous to you, that such a powerful WSPU gang was wreaking havoc everywhere, and the destructive violence they were good at came to an abrupt end in 1914! You can go through the files, and since then all the violence that disturbs the peace has stopped, and it is gone! Why, because World War I broke out. They know very well that in peacetime, the people and the government will tolerate these excesses for a variety of reasons, but when they enter the wartime system, they will destroy them with such impunity...... It is not an exaggeration to say that treason, it is a crime that can be punished heavily. See, a group of smart people, smart people in the truest sense of the word! ”

"What did Emmeline Pankhurst do after the war began? It becomes "encouraging women to give birth in the rear and men to go to war". Turned into a patriot - she called herself. Joke, hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in the British Isles alone, 99.99% of whom were men she hated, so can they be advocated by just 2,000 people? Or is it because the rooster crows, not because of the rotation of the earth? ”

"Oh, by the way, when it comes to Ms. Emmeline Pankhers's advocacy for men to go to war, they don't just pay lip service, they do it - that's what I said earlier about Operation White Feather."

"We have to understand that Britain is a civilized government, which means that most of their behavior is normal, after the outbreak of war. London never relaxed its preparations for war, as they were recruiting soldiers – mostly men. But you know that not all men are suitable for military service, or are not old enough, or are weak, or short-sighted, or have been sent back to their homeland to recuperate because of injuries. I think you can understand what the London government is doing, right? Edward asked

Ceyleri nodded, this is too normal, but since Edward brought it up, there must be something unusual behind it.

"At this time, Emmeline Pankhers took to the streets, indiscriminately, and when they saw men, they forced white feathers into their pockets, which they called Operation White Feathers, which was supposed to 'encourage' men to go to the front. But do you think this is really encouraging? It's actually an act of humiliation...... I didn't like war, but from an organizational and political point of view, the London government was doing a good job, and a large number of qualified soldiers were sent to the front...... This has nothing to do with white feathers, it is purely an instinctive act of the government. ”

As a result, many young men who were not physically fit for the army, perhaps only fifteen or sixteen years old, committed suicide because they could not bear the humiliation, and some soldiers who had been rotated back to their hometowns were harassed for this. London had no choice but to customize a set of re-entry badges with the inscription 'forkingandempireservicesrendered' and issue them to the soldiers to ensure that they would not be humiliated by this hatred...... To be honest, the Germans may not have been able to do such a thing......"

"How can such a thing happen?" Silari was taken aback

"Of course, the British are too thin-skinned, and if they were in the United States, these WSPs would have been thrown into the river long ago...... At the same time, normal women left their homes and worked in factories and villages to replace the production vacancies created by male conscription. Labor is hard, but women have proved in labor that they have the courage and conviction to be inferior to men, and even improve the efficiency of labor, because women are less likely to get drunk and fight or something......"

So it was only natural that after the war, in 1920, women got the right to vote...... Got it? Rights are earned by oneself, and only those who prove their worth to everyone and can promote social progress have the right to vote, not reactionary and backward people who are enemies of the social productive forces...... From this point of view, I personally oppose giving voting rights to those who often buy for zero dollars in my country, but I can't help it, I support the choice of the majority, which represents civilization and hope after all. ”

"By the way, under the electoral system, women make up half of the vote, which is a huge resource that no politician can ignore, so as long as women can prove that the claims that 'women are inherently inferior to men' are, they will soon be able to break the shackles. The United States is obviously not doing enough on this, but I think I should be able to see a black president, a black secretary of state, a woman president, a woman secretary of state, and I have no doubt about that...... Of course, is there a black female president...... It may take time, but I optimistically estimate that it should be seen on the 300th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China! ”

"And please answer me, why did Miss Boxer instill in you that the violence of Emmeline Pankhers and WSPU was the main reason why women gained the right to vote, and deliberately ignored what I said?"

"Quick, don't think too much, answer at once, I'll see your instinctive reaction......" he urged.

"I'm not sure for sure, and I don't want to believe it, but from what I've learned about legal history and sociology...... "Silari bites her lip and her voice trembles," she cites to justify the extremism and violence of the women's rights movement...... With the origin, everything is easy to do...... But I, I'm still ......"

"I'm pleasantly surprised, you have a very keen sense of politics, and after a long time, you must be a very good politician, really, it's not a compliment. I would also like to add that Emmeline Pankhers is actually a patriarch, and her rhetoric is constantly creating gender antagonisms between men and women, and fanning ordinary people with such extreme views. So if I'm right, it won't be long before Miss Boxer will be violently campaigning and preaching the inferiority of men publicly......"

"I said before that you should quit, but now that I have changed my mind, you stay in the club and let you see what you don't want to believe finally happen, which is also a kind of growth and exercise for you."

Silari asked, "And after that?" ”

"After that," Edward sneered, "I'm afraid that Miss Boxer, as Emmeline Pankhurst II, will eventually have a head-on confrontation with me, so let's see who will go to jail...... Yes, don't be afraid, I'm telling the truth, I have a hunch that this war between me and her will inevitably end in prison for one of them! ”

That's the case, but I pouted in my heart, it must be the one who went in......

But he still said very seriously: "The normal operation of modern society is enough to show the importance of social orderFrom Emmeline Pankherth to Boxer, the core of their behavior is to dissolve the existing social order. ”

In other words, when the goal of dissipation cannot be achieved, it is to strive to retreat to the next best - to raise the cost of social operation, and the result is naturally borne by the whole society, and when the social benefits cannot cover the cost, the result is social disorder, moral disintegration, and entering the animal society...... All the existing laws of contemporary civilized society have been zeroed, and violence has become the only social order, do you think this is good or bad for women? - Of course, modern society is very robust, and it will not be overturned by them. At least they can make trouble for a hundred years...... without worrying about causing human civilization to regress. ”

"The fans of these women's rights activists are the basis of their extreme behavior, by gnawing at the social roots to enrich themselves, by consuming social consensus for self-benefit, by dismantling the social order to protect themselves, and some people do not eradicate this moth in time but condone it, and try to feed it with more social roots, social consensus and social order, and appease it with greater concessions in exchange for a night's sleep - this is of no use at all!"

"Hey" his face was stern, but he sighed in his heart, "Dude, it seems that this time I want to contribute to the stability and unity of the United States, and I am about to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and I have to do my part as the successor of capitalism...... After all, Lao Tzu is now rich, has a girl, has a social status, and can also call the underworld, a typical person......"

"I've said everything I need to say, isn't that correct...... No, the word correct should not be used, in short, you can go to the historical sources to judge whether my views and the arguments cited are appropriate, and I believe that with your wisdom it is not difficult to come to a final conclusion. As an elite student with rigorous academic training, you don't need me to teach you how to search for information and judge its authenticity and reasonableness......"

"It just so happens," remembered Edward, "I'm going to the library, and Miss Routhberg asked me to pass her a letter to Marie Ree...... Why don't you go with me, this old lady is very willing to mentor young people, although the information you are looking for has nothing to do with her major, but it must be good to listen to her advice......"

……

When the two arrived at the library, Marie was in her fifties, dressed simply, with gray hair, and a rather kind appearance, and after Edward handed over the letter, she was very enthusiastic: "Ed, I heard Ruth talk about you, come and sit in my lounge...... Just made coffee ......"

Edward couldn't ask for it.

The two entered the break room, only to find that someone else was present.

is still a handsome guy, thirty-five or sixteen years old, black hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, if the face is wider, it is very Shaun Connery style, but judging from his thin body and occasionally stunned gaze, this guy should also be a scholar, and a guy who is obsessed with learning, usually this passerby's hairstyle...... Or that they don't have a concept of hairstyles at all, and the same is clearly true of the person in front of them.

Under Marie Ree's introduction, three young people exchanged names, this handsome man was named Jonathan Spencer, and Marie Ree was a doctoral student.

His thesis was finally published, and he came back to his teacher to report the good news.

Marie Ree was a student of Fairbank, one of the leading sinologists of his time, named after the Center for Oriental Studies at Harvard, and Marie Rui left Harvard to pursue a career at Yale, where Jonathan was her favorite disciple and studied sinology in nature.

Upon learning that Edward was half Chinese, Jonathan immediately offered to give him a copy of his book.

Edward couldn't refuse, thanked him and took it, and looked at the cover of "Cao Yin and Kangxi".

"It's a lot of ideas," he exclaimed, "and it's a direction that few people have touched." ”

"This is the direction that the teacher guided me, and she has a keen eye and sees the academic value in it, which happens to be very much appreciated by me."

Edward turned two pages slightly, raised his head and looked at the other party: "You are British?" ”

"Huh?" The other party was stunned for a moment, showing an expression of disbelief, "Yes?" But I don't think my accent is serious, huh? ”

"Well, it has nothing to do with your accent, it has to do with books, and I don't know much about historical considerations, but your way of writing is brilliant, not like a traditional academic paper, but it has a very good sense of reading...... This is the strength of the English historians, just as the French are particularly good at explaining the simplest questions in the most complex language, but they themselves do not get lost at all, and this is the talent of their respective civilizations......"

"Yes......" Jonathan laughed, "thank you for the compliment, and it is also a credit to Lady Mary Ree, who resisted the pressure of the Professors' Committee and insisted that it was appropriate to adopt this style of writing so that I could get my degree." ”

"So what are you going to do next?" Edward asked

"One of the issues I came to discuss with my teacher today is this, when I was writing my doctoral dissertation, I looked up a lot of information about Kangxi, so I wanted to write about him in the next book...... But how to write and from what angle I haven't completely figured it out. You know, I'm pretty confident in my writing, and I want to play to that strength, but there's not much that people have come before to learn from that. ”

"Well," Edward scratched his head, "since your writing is so good, have you ever thought about doing something bigger?" ”

Marie Ree didn't speak, watching the two young men talk.

"Bigger things, how to say it," Jonathan asked

"I'm talking nonsense, I think, you can write in the first person, you can completely simulate the emperor's heart, and use the first-person perspective to tell his daily life...... Let me think that I don't think there is such a way of writing in the academic world. This kind of writing is not particularly standardized, and it is too demanding for the author's writing...... But I think you're ......," Edward laughed, "it should be possible to ......"

"Jonathan, you can really give it a try" Marie Ree is keenly aware of the value of this idea, "this is where you can play to your strengths......"

"That'...... Okay" Jonathan was clearly excited, he was impressed, what a temptation it was for an Englishman to simulate the mind of an ancient Chinese emperor and then write it into a book.

"Okay, this book is simply called "Kangxi", and I want to write your name on the title page as a thank you."

"I'm so honored." Edward also smiled, "By the way, do you have a Chinese name?" Don't you all have to get a Chinese name for yourself if you are engaged in Sinology, otherwise it won't look authentic......"

"Yes, I'm talking to the teacher......"

"Shall I get you one?"

"Tell me?" Jonathan is looking forward to it

"Well, if you're engaged in Chinese history, you must know Sima Qian?" Someone asked

"Yes, that's my academic idol, he's a good historian, he's also a good writer, so, that's why I'm ...... Add literary writing to historical essays. ”

"Then it's easy to do, your surname is Spencer, the surname is Shi in Chinese, the name, Jing Qian, the abbreviation of Jing Yang Sima Qian."

"Shi Jingqian? I love the name! ”

"That's good!"

"Thank you, Edward, for meeting with you today to solve my two big problems, thank you so much!"

"Just a small contribution"

Immediately, he dragged Silari over and explained his intentions, and Marie Rui and Shi Jingqian immediately stated that they were skilled in seeking materials, after all, the Yale History Library was their home......

Of course, he quietly expressed his feelings for Jonathan or Shi Jingqian to Cilare, "Is this guy...... It's a failure......"
