Chapter 159: "Selling Newspaper Song"

"Tony, have you read this newspaper? This Mr. Liu Haisu is really sympathetic! At breakfast that morning, Chen Yuanqi handed over a newspaper and said to Monet.

Because Monet couldn't spare his hand for the time being, he motioned for Chen Yuanqi to put the newspaper on him, and then asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”

He has been criticized for several years because of the employment of a female model, but now he is even more ruthless and is directly wanted, forcing this Mr. Liu to flee to Japan, which shows how conservative the thinking of the Chinese people is now!

Obviously, falling female models have been popular in Europe and the United States for hundreds of years, Tony, Michael, you are all painters, have you all painted falling female models, right? What's wrong with that, you say? Chen Yuanqi said indignantly.

In 1913, Master Hongyi (then still called Li Shutong, the lyricist of "Farewell"), arranged a sketching class for male models in Zhejiang No. 1 Normal School for the first time.

It was not until 1920 that the sketching of falling female models began, the first models were all Belarusian women, and on July 20, 1920, there was the first female model in China, but the poor girl was only three days old, and was arrested by his father, although the situation after that does not know the details, but it will be very tragic to think about.

At the same time, this incident caused an uproar throughout Shanghai, and even the "Declaration" and "News" published articles in Shanghai Municipal Councilors petitioning the authorities to severely punish Liu Haisu, and Liu Haisu was even called one of Shanghai's "three literary demons". (The other two are Zhang Jingsheng, who advocates sexual knowledge, and Li Jinhui, who wrote the "glamorous sound" of "Drizzle.") )

On August 24, 1925, the Jiangsu Provincial Education Conference passed a proposal to ban models, and Sun Chuanfang also ordered Liu Haisu to be wanted and sent someone to destroy the art studio, and Liu Haisu was forced to flee to Japan.

"The Sword Comes"

Just when Monet's mind was full of cranky thoughts, Michael echoed: "That's right, you Chinese thinking is really too conservative, learning to paint the human body is a compulsory course, you look at the great French painter who has not painted a female body?" And not only painting, but also medical research on women's bodies! ”

And Monet disagreed: "Michael, although what you said is right, but this Mr. Liu Haisu is not without fault in this matter, he knows that the overall atmosphere in the country cannot accept women from good families to engage in the work of falling female models, and he also knows that he can find women who are willing to be falling female models by spending money, such as the previous Belarusian women, so why can he simply use money to solve the problem, he has to destroy the reputation of a good girl?"

That's right, you're fighting against feudal etiquette, but you should use your interests as capital, what's the matter of being generous to others? (There was a similar thing recently, let's talk about it at the end of the article!) )

After breakfast, several people went out for a walk, and when they turned an intersection, Chen Yuanqi accidentally bumped into a little girl who ran over in a hurry.

So he hurriedly helped the little girl up and apologized: "I'm sorry, little friend, I was careless, are you okay?" I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up! ”

Unexpectedly, the little girl just stood up and slapped the dirt on her body, so she shook her head and replied while picking up the newspapers scattered on the ground: "Sir, I'm fine, in fact, it's my fault, it's me who ran too fast when I turned!" ”

Chen Yuanqi saw that she had picked up more than a dozen newspapers, and she was carrying a bag specially used to hold newspapers, so she guessed: "Are you selling newspapers?" ”

The little girl nodded and replied, "Yes, sir, do you want to buy a newspaper?" ”

Chen Yuanqi hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Then I'll buy all these newspapers for you!" ”

Unexpectedly, the little girl shook her head stubbornly and said, "No, sir, I'm really fine!" ”

Although Chen Yuanqi admired the little girl's backbone, he really wanted to help her, and when he was thinking about how to change the appropriate way, Monet suddenly interjected: "Little sister, if you don't do this, I'll teach you a song "Selling Newspaper Song", so that you can sell newspapers while singing, and it will definitely increase sales!" ”

"But I'm afraid I'm too stupid to learn!" The little girl replied with her head bowed.

"Don't worry, this song is very simple, you will definitely learn it as soon as you learn it!" Monet encouraged.

Then he began to sing: "Lalala! La-la-la! I am a small expert in selling newspapers, and I don't wait for the morning to wait for the newspaper to be delivered, but while walking, I shout at the same time, today's news is really good, and I will buy two newspapers for seven copper plates. (Actually, there are two more paragraphs later, but Monet didn't teach them because he didn't think they would help sell newspapers.) )

Because the tune of this "Newspaper Selling Song" is simple and catchy, the little girl really learned it after listening to it twice, and the little girl's crisp voice is very good to sing.

After learning this, the little girl saluted Monet and said, "Thank you, uncle, for teaching me such a beautiful song!" ”

"No thanks, okay, you go sell newspapers, we have something to do too!" Monet waved his hand.

After the little girl left, Michael said to Monet in some surprise: "Mr. Monet, I really didn't expect you to write songs, although I don't know what the lyrics mean, but the tune is really very good!" ”

"The lyrics are perfect for this little girl who sells newspapers, I'll translate them for you!" As he spoke, Chen Yuanqi translated the lyrics to Michael.

And Monet proudly showed off on the side: "I will have a lot of things, you will know later!" ”

PS: Recently, there was a delivery man surnamed Yang in Shenyang, who grabbed hundreds of orders in the early hours of the morning in order to fight against the company, but they were all delivered after acceptance, and cancelled his rider qualification before the company reacted.

Although his original intention may be to fight against the company, the conflict between you and the company should be resolved by yourself! What's the matter with you implicating these hundreds of customers who ordered?

Some riders said that the customer has no loss, and you can apply for a refund! But you don't want to think about it, I ordered takeout in the middle of the night because I was hungry, but you maliciously grabbed the order, I didn't wait, I have to focus, and I have to apply for a refund, why do you toss me with the conflict between your rider and the company? How come I didn't lose anything?

What's even more incomprehensible to me is that there are many riders on Douyin who regard him as an idol, and even want to play like this before he resigns. You are not ashamed of such a lack of morality, but proud? With this quality, it's no wonder that you can't even do something as simple as delivering takeaways, and you deserve to be unproductive for the rest of your life!
