The next day.

Tokyo Imperial University, Moral Education Garden.

Lu Shi was standing on the podium and chatting about some issues related to Japanese translation.

Because the first exchange was a little unpleasant, Naito Hunan was beaten by other demons, so the current exchange atmosphere is biased towards pure academics.

Ethnicity, culture, etc., everyone tacitly did not mention it again.

Otherwise, it would be too unsightly for someone to have their front teeth knocked out.

Lu Shi said above: "Japanese is occasionally omitted, and the most common is that there is no subject, and when a sentence is thrown, it is inevitable to speculate according to the context." For example......"

He would have liked to give an example,

But the students below are not very energetic,

A few even dozed off from time to time with heavy dark circles under their eyes.

It doesn't matter when it's land,

"That's all for today."

After that, you have to step down from the podium.

As a result, someone immediately raised his hand and said, "Professor Lu, please wait!" I have a few questions about Lord of the Flies. ”

Lu Shi understood,

The students seemed to be in a state of limbo because they had been reading all night.

He said, "Okay, we can talk." ”

The student immediately asked, "Professor Lu, do you not support the Fauvist sect represented by Masato Goto?" ”

Lu Shi spreads his hands,

“

set fire to the mountain, and sit at the bottom of the prison;

Premeditated homicide, fixed-term imprisonment.

”

A smooth sentence was originally intended to ease the atmosphere.

As a result, the Japanese students below had no humor and entertainment at all, and still had that serious expression.

Lu Shi had no choice but to ask: "Do you support what Goto Masayto said and did?" ”

Silence fell below,

“……”

“……”

“……”

After a moment of silence, someone said, "The piglet was killed, and that cannot be denied." But I don't think the real cause of death is Masato Goto. They were just teenagers, and if they weren't trapped on a desert island, how could they do such a thing as murder? ”

The student next to him chimed in,

"That's right! There are more than two children who die in Lord of the Flies. The ship they were on ran aground in a battle with enemy ships and sank, killing dozens of adults. After the children were stranded on a desert island, a new dead appeared on the island. ”

"Tsk......"

Lu Shi was speechless,

The so-called "obedient and listening", he pondered the taste.

The view of these Japanese students is that the root cause of death of the two children who were killed is the same as that of the adults.

The ship ran aground as a result of a battle with an enemy ship.

What's wrong with Masato Goto?

He's just a kid!

This line of thinking is similar to the method used by some people in modern times to whitewash war crimes.

The most typical thing is: "I am also a victim. ”

Lu Shi groaned,

"You ought to know about the Battle of Tsushima, right?"

The student below nodded,

Someone said: "There are records in the historical materials of many countries that the ancestors of the Yuan dynasty conquered Japan. ”

The atmosphere has not changed.

Because of the long time, the history that was trampled by the Mongolian people with iron hooves does not make them empathize.

Lu Shi continued: "At that time, Yin Hong, the servant of the Yuan Dynasty's Ministry of Rites, held a golden talisman and served as the deputy envoy of the national letter, and sent an envoy to Japan with a letter of state. Do you know the contents of the national credentials? ”

There was silence in his answer,

The question is too hard.

Lu Shixiao,

“

'Heaven decrees, the emperor of the Great Mongolian State is in the letter. The king of Japan, I am the king of a small country since ancient times, and the territory is close to each other, and he is still honest and harmonious. Besides, my ancestors, who were ordained by the heavens, were dying, who were in a foreign land, who feared the power of Huaide, could not be all......

”

This national letter is very domineering.

To put it simply, Japan is a small land, and I can't beat it, so I either surrender or die!

Hearing the letter of state, Emperor Dasheng immediately reacted.

It's like throwing another little boy in the crowd,

The discussion exploded,

"Rampant!"

"Hmph...... So they're nothing now. ”

"It's really a bad beating......"

……

Lu Shi pressed down with both hands,

"Everyone, listen to me."

After a few days of communication, he has gained a lot of authority, and the students are still willing to be obedient.

The scene was silent.

Lu Shi said: "The Yuan army set out from Hepu and successfully landed on Tsushima Island, and the island owner Zongsuke and his son led eighty cavalry to intercept it, but they were completely annihilated. Ao Ga, the leader of the vanguard of the Yuan army, gave the order to slaughter the city, and only a few people survived on Tsushima. ”

This is the opening part of the game "Ghost of Tsushima".

The atmosphere among the students began to grow scorching again.

The pain of the nation cannot be covered up.

Lu Shi asked: "The gentlemen say, is this Ao Ga an evil ......?"

The words are not finished yet,

"Of course!"

The following has already been shouted.

Lu Shi snorted coldly in his heart,

"Really? But according to historical records, Ao Ga is not crazy and has no bloodlust. He was uninteresting, almost boring, not at all like a murderer. He chose to slaughter the city only because of the orders of Marshal Xindu of Zhengdong. ”

Immediately, a student stood up and retorted: "That's the historical materials of the Yuan Dynasty, right?" ”

Lu Shi shook his head,

"The historical records of the three parties are like this, the Yuan Dynasty, Goryeo, and Japan."

"Ah......h

The students began to whisper again.

Lu Shi smiled,

"So, according to what you have just said, the root cause of death of those people on Tsushima Island is not the massacre of Oga, but the war between the two countries. Oga acted according to orders, but the atrocities were recorded in the history books, gaining a bad reputation, and he was also a victim. ”

The atmosphere at the scene was very weird,

Who would have thought that boomerang would come so quickly?

And Lu Shi is well-informed and knowledgeable, and he can pull out a historical fact at every turn, but he can't debate it!

Lu Shi concluded: "Some evils do not start from their own evil motives, but are brutal crimes without brutal motives. If you don't think about it beforehand and don't repent afterwards, your behavior is still an evil. ”

The students couldn't help but think.

It's a pity that the reason why the demons are stunned is that they are stunned.

(laughs)

What Lu Shi said had little effect.

Someone else said, "Professor Lu, don't talk about that." How about we go back to Lord of the Flies? ”

"Tsk......"

Lu Shi was slightly speechless,

"Yes. What do you want to ask? Or is it a question of the Fauvism represented by Masato Goto? ”

"I just think it's okay for children to want to eat meat and be afraid of wild beasts in that situation," the student said. ”

Lu Shi said "um",

"That's true. I didn't say anything was wrong. ”

Students scratch their heads,

"However, your words are full of criticism of Masato Goto."

"Poof!"

Lu Shi couldn't help laughing,

"Didn't I criticize Keiichi Amano?"

The students were stunned,

After reading the whole book, they all felt that Keiichi Amano was a representative of the square, a symbol of civilization and order.

Lu Shi sighed,

"You didn't study well. If you look closely, you will find that the initial election was ridiculous, and Katsuichi Amano became the leader, relying on the inexplicable favor of the children. And what about his abilities? ”

In "Lord of the Flies", Katsura Amano is noble.

But when it comes to ability,

He misused people, and when he clashed with Goto Masato, he would only blame, and his intelligence was not as good as that of a piglet who firmly believed in science.

It can be said that he has no leadership at all.

But for some reason,

"The initial election was ridiculous, and Keiichi Amano became the leader, relying on the inexplicable favor of the children."

When Lu Shi said this, he always felt like he was hinting at something.

The students subconsciously looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace,

After that, they quickly shook their heads,

Don't think about anything that has no evidence!

Besides, Emperor Meiji will not have a voting system like Keiichi Amano,

The two have nothing to do with each other at all!

Lu Shi smiled: "I didn't say which side I supported in the book. You think I'm criticizing Masato Goto because that's what you think in your hearts. ”

In one sentence, you can pick yourself clean.

Emperor Dasheng was fooled and lame,

"Isn't that what we think?"

"Hiss......"

"Probably subtly."

……

They were all confused.

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"Well, instead of talking about that, let's talk about writing skills. "Lord of the Flies" is a typical desert island literature, and the plot follows the traditional desert island literature trilogy model of 'wandering on a desert island, surviving on a desert island, and returning to civilization'......"

The students below were still digesting the question just now, and they were so easily diverted from the topic,

For the next ten minutes, Lu Shi was talking about desert island literature.

……

Afternoon.

Tokyo Railway Station.

Li Huixian was holding Liang Sishun with one hand and Liang Sicheng with the other, and was seeing off her husband.

got the manuscript of "Lord of the Flies", Jiang Guoliang has already returned to Yokohama first,

Liang Qichao was not at ease and wanted to go back as soon as possible.

"Xinmin Cong Bao" has just been released, and there are only a few main contributors, so it is not easy to catch a big man like Lu Shi, so it is natural to do a good job of publicity.

Li Huixian whispered: "Ren Fu, I want Sishun to worship Professor Lu as a teacher." ”

Liang Qichao groaned,

From his heart, he was a little resistant to the behavior of climbing high branches.

But Lu Shi is different from others after all,

He was of great standing in England and had a close personal relationship with King Edward VII, so perhaps he could take a copy of the Constitutional Monarchy?

Liang Qichao looked at his daughter.

Unexpectedly, Liang Sishun hid directly behind his mother,

"I don't want to read."

Liang Qichao was helpless,

"Good, good. If you don't read it, don't read it. ”

Li Huixian glared at her and complained in a low voice: "Ren Fu, you don't have to sing red-faced." ”

She has always been responsible for teaching her daughter, and she is more strict,

Liang Qichao is good, he dismantles the platform badly, and he knows the compromise of "good" and "yes yes" for his daughter.

If this continues, what will happen to my daughter's studies?

And, one more bit of a headache,

Liang Sishun and Liang Qichao have not been together for a long time, and there is already a trend of not kissing their fathers.

Liang Qichao was slightly embarrassed,

"I think Professor Lu doesn't have time to teach Sishun."

Li Huixian thought about it,

"Then ...... Worship as a teacher? ”

The seat teacher is the honorific title of the chief examiner in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Therefore, Li Huixian used it inaccurately.

But Liang Qichao can understand,

It is nothing more than to let Liang Sishun hang his name there and form a good fate.

He muttered for a moment,

"That's fine. Just don't force it. If Professor Lu refuses, there is no need for us to entangle, otherwise we will try to provoke people. Moreover, Professor Lu wrote such a shocking "Lord of the Flies" in the vernacular, which is already very face-saving. ”

Li Huixian nodded,

"I understand."

Liang Sishun next to him asked, "Is the teacher the kind of teacher who won't let me endorse?" ”

The little girl doesn't want to study.

Liang and Li were speechless for a while.

Liang Qichao said with a smile: "Generally speaking, when you need to worship the teacher, the books you should memorize have already been memorized. ”

Liang Sishun's little face collapsed,

"Do you still want to carry it?"

Liang Qichao couldn't complain about this daughter, and turned to Li Huixian and said, "Madam, then I'll go in first." The timetable of Japanese trains is always not very accurate, and I have to be earlier and later in advance. ”

Before Li Huixian could speak, Liang Sishun opened his mouth first,

"Father, take care."

Liang Qichao was amused and laughed,

"Do you still know 'take care'?"

He bent down, touched his daughter's head, and then picked up the baby Liang Sicheng and teased him, and went straight into the waiting hall.

At the beginning of the 20th century, departures and arrivals at railway stations were not yet separated,

The waiting hall is also the arrival hall.

The hall was busy,

Because there are a lot of people, and there are all kinds of smells,

The smell of sweat, the smell of wine, the smell of smoke, the aroma of lunch, the smell of expensive perfumes......

Huge train schedules hang on the walls, and many people gather there to tiptoe around.

Liang Qichao found a place to sit down.

Beside him, two Japanese were chatting about Lu Shi,

"Have you heard the content of Sir Luk's speech at the University of Tokyo today?"

"Of course I did. He talked about Lord of the Flies. ”

"Actually, what I want to say is what happened later, and he summed up the overview of desert island literature very well."

……

Desert Island Literature?

Liang Qichao was also interested.

He couldn't help but observe the two Japanese.

One of them was bare, thin, and thin, and even a wide kimono could not hide his depressed spirit, and he looked like he was seriously ill.

The other wears a suit,

This dress is supposed to work for the Japanese government.

They are none other than Shimazaki Fujimura and Masaoka Shiki,

The two were waiting for Tatsunosuke Hasegawa, and then they would visit Lu Shi together.

Masaoka said, "Before, no one should have systematically proposed the concept of 'desert island literature', right? Sir Luke is the first. ”

Shimazaki Fujimura nodded,

"After all, it's the writer who wrote 'No One Survives.'"

Masaoka Zigui smiled,

"Haha! That's reasoning, and there's a difference between the two. If you want me to say, "Robinson Crusoe" can be regarded as a precedent for desert island literature. ”

Hearing this, Liang Qichao shook his head silently.

Shimazaki Fujimura noticed,

"You don't seem to agree much, sir...... Not...... Are you Chinese? ”

Liang Qichao nodded,

"Surname Liang."

Because I had met Lu Shi before, Shimazaki Fujimura subconsciously was a little kind to the Chinese,

He was curious: "Does Mr. Liang have a different opinion?" ”

Liang Qichao groaned,

"If memory serves, Shakespeare's The Tempest predates Robinson Crusoe."

Shimazaki Fujimura and Masaoka Shiki looked at each other, a little surprised,

Are the Chinese so knowledgeable?

Masaoka Zigui said in a low voice: "Mr. is erudite. As you said, when Professor Lu was talking about desert island literature, he also mentioned Shakespeare's The Tempest. However, he also gave two earlier examples for reference. ”

Liang Qichao was puzzled,

"And there are even earlier examples?"

Masaoka Zigui nodded,

"Yes. Professor Lu said, first, in ancient Greek mythology, Iason passed through the island of Remnos when stealing the Golden Fleece and experienced many bizarre things; The second is Homer's epic poem "Odyssey", which successfully expresses the conflict between man and fate through Odysseus's drifting and life on the sea and desert islands. ”

Liang Qichao's admiration for Lu Shi in his heart went to the next level,

Greek mythology, the Odyssey,

He had heard all of this, but he couldn't do it at all if he remembered it so clearly like Lu Shi.

Liang Qichao asked again: "Professor Lu also talked about "Lord of the Flies"? ”

Masaoka Zigui sighed and didn't reply.

Shimazaki Fujimura, who was next to him, said, "We heard about it too. ”

Liang Qichao was curious,

"How?"

So, the two faithfully retold their hearsay.

Liang Qichao was very confused when he heard it,

Why do students at Tokyo Imperial University have such strange brain circuits?

He whispered, "Actually, Professor Lu has discussed related issues with me. He thinks...... Forehead...... Why are you staring at me like that? ”

I saw the eyes of Masaoka Zigui and Shimazaki Fujimura staring straight away,

The two looked at Liang Qichao, as if they had seen a beauty.

LIANG Qichao is cold,

"You ...... cough cough cough ......"

Masaoka Zigui also realized that he was too eager, and quickly explained: "Don't worry, we are all people who can keep secrets, and we will not reveal Professor Lu's words to the outside world. Moreover, we are already familiar with Professor Lu, and we asked him to write "The Nature of Japanese Civilization". ”

Liang Qichao looked at the other party,

"So it's you? Yes...... I see, you're Mr. Masaoka! ”

Masaoka Zigui smiled and officially introduced himself: "Contemptible Masaoka Zigui, currently working as an editor in the magazine "Azalea". ”

The two shook hands.

Liang Qichao also put his mind at ease,

Indeed, Professor Lu himself is critical of the Fauvism represented by Masato Goto in Lord of the Flies. He believes that there is nothing wrong with wanting to eat pork, and there is nothing wrong with not even wanting to be rescued and wanting to live on a desert island for the rest of his life. ”

Speaking of which, Shimazaki Fujimura took out a notebook and pen,

Rustle Rustle –

He carefully recorded.

Liang Qichao suddenly felt that his vanity was satisfied, and even his tone of speech became a little graspy.

"What do you think is the difference between Masato Goto and Keiichi Amano?"

The two pondered.

In terms of ability, the two children seem to be half a catty,

That can only be the difference in position.

Shimazaki Fujimura replied: "The former represents barbarism, cruelty, and autocracy, while the latter represents civilization and order. ”

Liang Qichao nodded,

"That's right. And because of the difference between the two, you said, they have very different attitudes towards their opponents. ”

Masaoka Zigui suddenly,

"I see!"

On a desert island, rationalists can tolerate the existence of Fauvism,

Not the other way around.

For those who are not strong-willed, Masato Goto tempts with pork;

For those who have a vestige of conscience, Masato Goto uses threats to force them to join;

At last

Pig Cub and Keiichi Amano, one was run over by a boulder, and the other was chased by fire all over the island.

Liang Qichao said: "Professor Lu believes that people cannot be without animal nature, 'lose animal nature, lose everything'. However, if it is completely dominated by bestiality, it is destined not to be worthy of being called a civilization. If Masato Goto's gang is also civilized, then the wild boars on the desert island may also have their own civilization. ”

This passage is full of impact.

I don't know how long it has been, Masaoka Zigui has woken up like a dream,

"Sure enough, Lord of the Flies isn't about children. It is a parable, a prophecy. ”

Shimazaki Fujimura was confused when he heard it,

"Prophecy what?"

Masaoka Zigui said in a low voice: "Just like when we asked Professor Lu to write "The Nature of Japanese Civilization", don't you think that there is something ...... in Japan now? Some ......"

For a moment, he couldn't find the right words.

Shimazaki Fujimura understood,

"yes, especially after that naval battle, it changed so quickly."

During the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan and China competed for leadership of the East Asian region.

This competition unfolds at all levels of culture, economy, society, and the minds and ideologies of intellectuals, and military conflicts can only be regarded as one of them.

Therefore, the whole society is permeated with a strong atmosphere of "going down and going up".

And "Lord of the Flies" ......

"Whew~"

Masaoka Ziki exhaled,

"I want to publish a book review in Cuckoo."

Shimazaki Fujimura is a little worried,

"Will this work?"

Masaoka replied, "No problem. The book review is called, "Japanese, you have to reflect! What do you think? ”

Shimazaki Fujimura nodded again and again,

"Good name!"

Liang Qichao on the side was stunned when he heard it,

He really can't understand the Japanese,

Sometimes, they are extremely arrogant, murderous, and do not know etiquette;

Sometimes, they are very modest and low-key, and even send themselves reflection papers.

Sure enough, as Professor Lu said, "national character" is a big and empty concept.

But at the same time, it also confirms the metaphor of "chrysanthemum and sword" used by Professor Lu in "The Nature of Japanese Civilization".

Liang Qichao was thinking about these things that he didn't have,

Who would have thought that Masaoka Zigui suddenly had a new idea,

"I don't think the general exclamation is emphasisful enough," he said. It's better to change the tone of rhetorical question, and change the book review to "Japanese, why don't you reflect?" What do you think? ”

Shimazaki Fujimura said "um",

"Good! This is good! ”

Masaoka Zigui is very satisfied,

"I'll start writing today!"

(End of chapter)
