Chapter 427 426【Propaganda】
"Hello, Principal Liu!"
"Hi Mr. Zhou!"
Teachers and students greeted him one after another, but most of their eyes fell on Zhou Hexuan. On the contrary, Liu Xiang, who is the principal, didn't pay much attention.
Liu Xiang introduced: "This is Mr. Lu Zifang Lu, the Director of Academic Affairs of Chongqing University."
"Mr. Lu, hello!" Zhou Hexuan stretched out his hand and smiled.
Lu Zifang hurriedly shook hands and said, "I have admired Mr. Zhou's name for a long time, and it is rare to meet him today."
Lu Zifang is thin and thin, wearing round-frame glasses, a standard image of an intellectual in the Republic of China. He is from Shapingba and one of the founders of Chongqing University. A few years later, Chongqing University moved from Caiyuanba to Shapingba, and he has a lot to do with Lu Zifang.
Lu Zifang was an all-rounder. After his death, he left more than 30 posthumous works, involving astronomy, calendar, mechanics, acoustics, meteorology, earthquake, mathematics, archaeology, medicine, biology and many other subjects. A scholar with profound insights in the study of the history of science and technology".
Liu Xiang introduced again: "This is Mr. Wang Yunsong, the dean of Chongqing University's Work Study College in France."
"Hello, Dean Wang!"
"Mr. Zhou, hello!"
Wang Yunsong is relatively old, over 50 years old. He has organized Sichuan students to study in France many times, including Deng Gong, Chen Shuai and Nie Shuai.
In Chen Shuai's original words, Wang Yunsong trained three deputy prime ministers for the new China. This is really a legendary figure.
The third person introduced by Liu Xiang was Wu Fangji, a native of Jiangjin, nicknamed "White House Poet".
This gentleman is a child prodigy. He could recite "Zhou Nan" and "Zhao Nan" in "The Book of Songs" when he was three years old. After his father's business went bankrupt, the family moved to a poor area. Because the neighbors were gambling with drugs, his father wrote "White House" on the wall and hung it on the wall to show his innocence. Wu Fangji called himself "White House Wu Sheng ".
When Wu Fangji was only 10 years old, his father was imprisoned due to a business dispute. He filed a lawsuit to defend his father, and he succeeded in rescuing his father. It was a good story in Chongqing for a while.
There are many anecdotes about Wu Fangji. When he was studying at the Tsinghua Preparatory School for Studying in the United States (the predecessor of Tsinghua University), he was expelled for protesting against foreign teachers insulting students. Fortunately, Wu Mi and others helped him to leave school and go home. On the way back to his hometown, Wu Fangji encountered war again. Because the travel expenses were exhausted, he had to beg on foot. It took more than five months and more than 3,000 miles to return to Chongqing. On the way, he wrote more than 70 poems and tens of thousands of diaries. Word.
"If you don't write about the people's suffering for three days, your articles will fail the people."
These are Wu Fangji's poems. Most of his works are ancient poems, often describing the sufferings of the people, but there are also some "new poems" that are half-literary and half-white.
Moreover, this gentleman likes to write long poems, and his famous work "Wan Rong Ci" is just a small test. His "Ba People's Song" praising the 19th Route Army's anti-Japanese war has a full 1,500 characters, which is quite a bit like "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" during the War of Resistance.
"Mr. Zhou, Brother Yu Seng (Wu Mi) mentioned you many times in his letter. Your famous name makes my ears sound like cocoons." Wu Fangji joked.
Wu Fangji and Wu Mi are classmates at Tsinghua University. They have a deep friendship and have kept in touch with each other for many years.
Zhou Hexuan clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Yu Seng also often praises Mr. Wu's poems. I have been admiring Mr. Wu for a long time."
Liu Xiang introduced a few more, all of whom were well-known cultural figures in Sichuan.
Zhou Hexuan then donated ten sets of "Global History", ten sets of "The Rise of Great Powers" and ten sets of "Chrysanthemum and the Sword" to Chongqing University. Accompanied by Liu Xiang and others, he visited the library and classrooms of Chongqing University and watched Participated in the football match of the Chongqing University team.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Hexuan stood on the stage of the playground to give a speech. He looked at many teachers, students and students and said: "Two days ago, I met Mr. Lu Zuofu and talked with him about Japan. We were all very worried. Mr. Lu visited the Northeast last year and wrote a book "Travel Notes on the Northeast", which recorded some situations he witnessed. He found that Dalian has become the Dalian of the Japanese, with docks, schools, shops, factories, railways... Everywhere was occupied by the Japanese, and they were well-organized and expanded very fast. Mr. Lu also watched the Manchurian and Mongolian Resource Museum built by the Japanese. All the animals and plants produced in the Northeast were collected and displayed by the Japanese to make specimens. The production quantity of these products has been investigated clearly, and even tabulated statistics, with detailed graphic descriptions."
Some of the teachers and students in the audience showed doubts, not knowing what Zhou Hexuan was talking about;
"The Japanese already regard the Northeast as their territory, and in the future, they will regard the whole of China as their territory!"
"Teachers and students, Japan's invasion of China is imminent. Once the two countries go to war, what chance will China have? Sichuan is China's rear area and the last bastion that the Chinese people stick to. I hope that you can learn something, Work hard to make Sichuan richer and stronger, and make this fortress stronger!"
Zhou Hexuan's speech was still going on, and the content was nothing more than the same set, constantly emphasizing the indoctrination of anti-war ideas, emphasizing the views that Japan would inevitably invade China and China would inevitably win.
What he said was obviously ahead of his time, but in a few months, many people will understand.
The government and warlords may have been slow to respond to the September 18th Incident, but that does not mean that all Chinese people are like this. Historically, after the September 18th Incident, all parts of the country, including overseas Chinese, were extremely indignant, and then established various anti-Japanese and national salvation organizations.
For example, Lu Zuofu, just three months after the September 18th Incident, called for the establishment of the "Chongqing National Salvation Congress", issued a national salvation telegram, discussed countermeasures for national salvation, publicized and agitated the anti-Japanese war, organized fundraising, and supported the front-line anti-Japanese war.
The most active ones are the Japanese students studying abroad. Between "September 18th" and the "July 7th Incident", they painstakingly collected all kinds of information about Japan, and made a comprehensive analysis of Japan's society, customs, economy, education, military affairs, public opinion, politics, History and other related news have been sent back to China for several years, allowing Chinese people to understand Japan more clearly.
There are also many Japanese students who returned to China resolutely. They gave up their good jobs in big cities and spontaneously went to rural villages and towns to publicize Japan's ambitions for China and the brutality of the Japanese to the ignorant and ignorant people at the bottom. This move provided great convenience for the later establishment of anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, and also enabled many people to have a basic understanding of the Japanese.
The Anti-Japanese War began as early as the September 18th Incident. Not only the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, not only the 19th Route Army, but also countless unknown people with lofty ideals worked hard for it.
Another example is European and American students. They also spontaneously contacted and used the convenience of educational institutions in various countries to expose the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese, and formed an anti-fascist alliance at the World Youth Congress, calling on governments and the League of Nations to support China’s cause of resistance.
These people are unsung heroes.
Zhou Hexuan has a great reputation now, and he can take advantage of this reputation to constantly promote and call for anti-Japanese ideas. This kind of action seems to be doing useless work, but it contains huge power, and it is often even more useful than guns.
belief!
Spirit!
This is what a great nation must have.
