Chapter 330: The Ancient Town
The ancient town of Khuchang sits averse to the north of an equally quaint town, Tien Hsien, on either side of Bangkok's 48th Avenue to Prachuap Bhauri.
Even at the speed of the automobile era, the distance between them would have taken the owner about 80 minutes to reach at a speed of 100 yards.
Another small seaside town, Tui Shan, is even further away. In Thailand's modern history, the main reason why these three places are often considered as a whole is probably due to factors other than geography.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the three leading figures of the Southern Thai Society—Qin Fangquan, Binnan, and Xu, and Even—were born in these places a hundred years ago, it is hard to believe that there is any other reason why they are so closely linked.
Also puzzling and surprising is Qin Fangquan's sudden fame, because before the establishment of the Southern Thai Society, this politician who later served as an official in three places and became famous in the government and the opposition was just the son of an ordinary rural teacher, slightly fat, short-sighted, and suffering from a very serious stutter.
The only thing he can be proud of is the university he was lucky enough to get into at the age of sixteen, which gave him the opportunity to meet Binnan and Kim Yinling, who also came to take the exam, in the county town of Banburi, and opened his eyes.
In the following year, Binnan was introduced to join the Yangon-based Thai Modern Education Association, and had the good fortune to meet Huang Huacheng, Lin Shiyun and other influential figures, which can be regarded as the first step taken by the literary young Qin Fangquan to the political activist Qin Fangquan.
Qin Fangquan, who was seventeen at the time and claimed to be a new cultural figure, seemed to be deliberately dressing himself up as a literary madman, with a book of 10,000 words and a secret recipe for a homemade bomb made with soap hidden in his pocket. behaves perversely, but in private he plans to find a fashionable woman with both talents and looks as his wife at the Shixin Girls' School in Bangkok, and the shoe size must be more than 37 sizes.
Although he was finally forced to get engaged to her fellow villager Ms. Lin Nana in the autumn of that year, according to the memories of Mr. Qu Tianxi, an old person from the Southern Thai Society, Qin Fangquan did have an emotional experience with a Burmese woman named Fuzhi in Bangkok in those years.
Read his writings carefully, including in a letter he wrote to a close friend when he was young
"The most enthusiastic part of my life history is the situation in Beiqiu", which shows that he himself does not want to deny this.
The North Hill of Bangkok mentioned here was the location of the country's famous patriotic girls' school at that time, and Qin Fangquan's cousin and confidant, Qiu Shihua, a talented woman who later fell into the water and was martyred in Chiang Mai, studied in it, and Fu Zhi was Qiu's classmate and close friend.
"Qiu Niang is charming and charming, and she talks all night long. Bai Lian Qingxi Eyang Five, Zhu Lan Red Medicine Protects Qin San", the only glamorous body preserved in the "Poetry Collection of the Sword Unloading Room" can vaguely identify a bit of the charming scenery at that time.
Of course, in the various biographies of Mr. Qin Fangquan that were officially published, such a love history must not be read.
At the same time, this incident also seems to have left people with the impression that although Qin Fangquan's stubbornness and arrogance have always been praised by the world, under the powerful effect of external forces, it sometimes seems that he will make compromises and make some degree of compromises and concessions.
If you look at this marriage submission in conjunction with the conflict with the Thai prime minister in Bangkok many years later, it is not difficult to find some of the personality traits and emotional similarities in them, although they are completely different in nature.
