Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

"Sinking into ignorance, stuck in bad habits, stuck in superstition, contemptuous of reform, playing with the law, and lazy with the times." In the evening, Chen Zhongpu walked into the editorial room of "New Youth" with the latest evening paper under his arm, and just stepped through the door In the middle of the day, his whining sound followed:

"Tell me about this. There are such people in society. When will our nation and our country rise?"

Facing this righteous indignation, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the editing room could hardly raise a wave.

If it was normal, the big guy must have thought that something great happened in society, and asked him after him.

Now that I've seen it a lot, I understand that their editor-in-chief is an editor whose blood surges at every turn, and if he encounters any major event that affects social development and society, he will be much calmer.

"Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai :

"I know that Shizhi doesn't like politics, and I also understand that Yucai is busy writing. After all, you can't do two things with one mind, but you are not so busy with the usual, why don't you hurry up and express your opinions."

After returning to China for a while, Hu Shi began to feel dissatisfied with "New Youth" for taking a slant and staying away from academics. Now seeing that the editor-in-chief wanted to encourage everyone to interfere in politics, he took the initiative to stand up and said: "Shou Chang has just been recommended by Mr. Zhang Shizhao and became our Beijing editor. The director of the university library is also very busy nowadays.

You, the director of the subject, should have forgotten this matter. It is really wrong. In my opinion, our "New Youth" should firmly adhere to the path of academics. This is the foundation of our society. Don't you see that there are several companies in the same industry who were banned by the government because they were too ostentatious. "

"I don't like to hear these words anymore. What academics are called the foundation of a society, and exploring the future of the nation is the foundation of our "New Youth". Things like politics cannot be kept away from, and they are closely related to our lives. It’s better not to do things.”

Seeing that Hu Shi was still sitting there, Chen Zhongpu simply bent down and looked him in the eyes, criticizing him face to face.

Although Hu Shi has a gentle temper, he is not afraid of his friends: "Mr. Cai has made many remarks in public, saying that only pure aesthetic education can cultivate our feelings, and then make the self-seeking and self-interest dissipate. Promote national development.

Too much mixing of political things will definitely make the idea of ​​aesthetic education dirty and even degenerate, which is contrary to Cai Gong's wish and contrary to Peking University's school-running philosophy! "

The other party was so stubborn that he couldn't get in. Chen Zhongpu was so angry that he nodded with his index finger, and finally felt a little impolite, so he simply turned his fingers into a fist and slapped his palm hard: "Confused, you are so confused, how can this world make you and me Do you feel at ease in the world of academics? Let me ask you this, can you talk to Mao Xiong and let them return the northern border to us, and tell the Japanese devils to let them quit Shandong.

Or you think this is too difficult to do, and you can talk to the customs about letting the Chinese take power. Tell me, which one can do it?Which one gives you peace of mind to engage in aesthetic education in China?So what the lonely people said, I will definitely confront them later. "

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Mr. Li took the initiative to stand up and poured a cup of tea for Chen Zhongpu: "Let's sit down and talk about Zhongpu's business, so as not to hurt everyone's peace."

After handing over the cup, Mr. Li looked at Hu Shi again, with a gentle but firm tone: "Although aesthetic education is good, it can only be watched and not full. Our education chief, Fan Yuanlian, was forced to resign because of political struggles and went to In the United States, it is called inspection education.

This reason is obviously not convincing to everyone, so, do you know what this means? "

Hu Shi cautiously asked: "Faction down?"

Chen Zhongpu snorted coldly when he heard this, and drank tea by himself.

When Mr. Li saw it, he smiled wryly and shook his head: "The reason why our Peking University was able to engage in such a big battle and was safe and sound is not only Cai Gong who played a leading role in it, but also his old friend Mr. Fan Yuanlian who took care of him." Well, now that he is gone, the future of our Peking University is hard to say for the time being.

If you want to do academics in peace, it depends on whether they agree or not. "

Not only was Hu Shi not frightened, but he was a little happy: "There are three fires for a new official to take office. Our Peking University has such a big goal, and we are likely to be the first one. In order not to get burned, we should only talk about academics, not about state affairs, and be wise and protect ourselves." yes."

"Pfft~"

He had just had a sip of tea before he could swallow it down, when Chen Zhongpu spit out in anger when he heard this, he was almost out of breath:

"Cough... you... are so short-sighted, you really are a summer bug."

Once the three views of adults are formed, it will be difficult to shake,
After trying to understand this truth, Mr. Li let out a long sigh, and took Chen Zhongpu aside:
"What Shizhi said has his reasons, Zhong Pu, you don't have to be like this. Having said that, I have a very good thing to tell you."

"Quickly tell me, cough cough." Chen Zhongpu took a deep look at Hu Shi, then followed Mr. Li to his office, took the documents and looked at them.

Before I saw the text of the article, I was surprised by the title:
"Specific matters concerning the cooperation between the Changxindian Trade Union and the Work-Frugal Study Society of the Academy of Sciences in France"

"Well, you are so conservative, you actually secretly cooperated with Zhiyuan behind my back, saying, how long have you been hiding it from me, and you haven't heard any rumors before, how good is the secrecy?"

When Mr. Li heard this, he was obviously taken aback, and then he poked his head over. After seeing the title of the document, he suddenly realized that he wanted to take it over: "It's just a matter of the past few days. It's working behind your back."

"Hey, if you don't speak clearly, you don't want to take the document back." Chen Zhongpu was very dissatisfied with this reason, and started to read it without consent.

However, what is surprising is that apart from the cover, there are only some simple outlines inside, and when it comes to specific cooperation matters, they are still blank.

"What's going on here?" Monk Chen Zhongpu Zhang Er was puzzled.

Mr. Li smiled happily: "I told you, there is nothing in it, you still don't believe it, now you finally believe it."

Chen Zhongpu frowned: "I still don't quite understand what you mean."

Mr. Li pulled a bench over to let him sit down, took the documents over and explained: "Well, there are two reasons. You know that there are many railway workers in Changxin Store. One of them is Cheng Nuo. The work-study institute studying in France wants to invite some skilled masters to teach the students so that the students can be self-reliant."

"What about the second one?"

"Secondly, Cheng Nuo has also set up a machinery manufacturing factory, and the workers brought from Shanghai are not enough, so he wants to recruit some from Beijing. Of course, what I'm going to say next is exactly related to it."

As he said that, he found a stack of invitations. The appearance was simple and elegant, and he looked very attentive. Unfortunately, he couldn't find anything particularly valuable from the outside.

Chen Zhongpu looked left and right with the invitation, and asked curiously: "What is this, who invited it, and who invited it?"

Mr. Li raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Just take a look and you'll know. There are sure to be surprises."

"I miss you, Li Shouchang, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and now you have learned to whet my appetite. You have made progress, you have made progress." Chen Zhongpu spoke slowly, but when he got it in his hands, he was quite nimble, and he opened the invitation in the blink of an eye. Open it to reveal the letters inside.

It was fine at first glance, but the more I read it, the more pleasantly surprised I was, and in the end I was so excited that I almost tore the letter.

In fact, the content is very simple. After successfully flying the F-1 prototype, the aviation school founded by Cheng Nuo decided to hold a public flight performance and invite patriotic people from all walks of life.

The editorial office of "New Youth" where Chen Zhongpu and others worked was naturally among those invited.

"Is this a real plane, and they didn't come to fool us from Zhiyuan?" Chen Zhongpu took the letter and read it several times, still unimaginable: "It's just so silent, and there is a thunder on the ground?"

Mr. Li smiled and said: "As for the truth and falsehood, don't you and I know when it's time to perform? Besides, we have been with Zhiyuan for so long, and we still don't know that he is not a braggart? Whenever he is silent for a while, It's not that he's exhausted, but that he's busy accumulating strength."

Chen Zhongpu picked up his cup, took a sip of tea with difficulty, and was still very excited: "That's right, Zhiyuan has gone farther than us on the road of 'Mr. Sai', and we don't even know what flowers he has picked now , if he refuses to look back, we don't even have the right to smell his fragrance."

At some point, brother Xun had already quietly touched him, and suddenly said: "It's useless for you to flatter Zhiyuan like this, why don't you go back and think about words, and then tell him face to face."

Chen Zhongpu couldn't help laughing: "Yucai, in terms of sharpness, it has to be you."

Brother Xun shook his head, took back his share from a pile of invitations, and expressed a little emotion: "Airplanes will be an indispensable thing for the military. We have thousands of aircraft guarding the port, which is enough to deter neighboring powers."

Mr. Li nodded, with reminiscence on his face: "In the early years, I heard Mr. Feng Ru's speech by chance, and most of the content has been forgotten with Mr.'s unexpected departure, but there is a sentence in it that I still remember. The memory is still fresh."

Chen Zhongpu asked curiously, "Oh? Let's hear it."

Other editors in the editing room were also attracted, and even Hu Shi couldn't help but move closer.

"Military weapons, there is no aircraft, and it is bound to be advocated. It will become a unique weapon to serve the motherland. If you don't succeed, you'd rather die!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

I don't know how long after that, Hu Shi made a quiet voice, with inexplicable sadness in his tone: "It's a pity that Mr. died young, it really adds to the talent."

Chen Zhongpu gave Hu Shi a meaningful look, but he didn't answer his words, but started another topic himself: "Saving the country by aviation, Mr. Feng's thought shocked us deeply, and aroused the patriotism of the Chinese people. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a role model for my generation.”

Following this line of thought, Mr. Li said: "When Feng Ru was making an air show in Oakland, USA, President Sun Da came to Oakland to watch it, and he praised his work greatly, and he also foresaw the role of aircraft in future wars. importance.

So with the current domestic situation, if Zhiyuan's plane is really successful, why not cooperate with the President? "

Regarding this point, Mr. Li's words are not aimless. In fact, before and after the Wuchang Uprising, the President began to raise funds from overseas Chinese, asking them to help build an aircraft fleet.

This call was positively responded to, and the branch of the Tongmenghui in Chicago united with some overseas Chinese in the United States to set up the "Revolutionary Aircraft Corps of Overseas Chinese in the United States" to prepare to join the domestic revolution.

This move not only won the understanding and approval of the overseas Chinese, but also promoted the overseas Chinese to donate money to buy aircraft in the United States to aid the Chinese revolution. They purchased 6 Curtiss aircraft and supported 23 overseas Chinese.

After the founding of the Republic of China, some patriotic overseas Chinese in the United States raised funds and donated money to establish an aircraft manufacturing company in San Diego, USA. Not only did they make their own aircraft, but they also had Chinese aviators as pilots for flight training.

It's a pity that the domestic political environment is too complicated, and these planes are basically useless.

Even so, the environment has deteriorated to the present, and the President continues to try his best to raise donations from overseas to buy more aircraft, and believes that purchasing aircraft at this time and organizing an aircraft fleet to participate in the war is of the utmost importance.

"Forget it, the President is a political mascot right now. He pulls him out when he needs it, and pushes him away when he doesn't need it. Introducing Cheng Nuo at this time is a disaster rather than a blessing!" Thinking about it, Chen Zhongpu still overturned this opinion.

Brother Xun agreed and said, "At present, Mo Rongxin, the newly appointed military governor in Guangdong, is at odds with the President. Those who framed the guards of the Presidential Palace are all bandits, and they shot and killed them at will. Tell us about your idea to get them to cooperate at this time." , it hurt Zhiyuan.”

Hu Shi also wanted to say something out loud, but as he said, he didn't know much about politics, he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, and finally forced himself: "Airplanes don't necessarily have to be used for military purposes. , it can carry people."

Although there are merits, but because of the previous matter, this statement was automatically ignored by everyone.

However, Brother Xun is still somewhat pessimistic about new things: "Because of the influence of Zhiyuan, I am also more interested in industry recently. As far as I know, the aviation industry is a field involving many cutting-edge disciplines, and it has nothing to do with Chinese society. Traditional craft workshops are two completely different things.

Especially in a country that doesn't even have a complete industrial system, hoping to realize the ideal of "saving the country by aviation" through aircraft, no matter how you look at it, is far from the actual situation in Chinese society today. "

This statement sounds factual and reasonable, and there is no exaggeration.

But because the person who did this was Cheng Nuo, a figure who gathers talents and creates miracles all the time, no one is sure about this matter.

Perhaps, as the invitation said, the plane really can succeed.

Even Hu Shi couldn't help but said: "Zhiyuan's ability is beyond doubt, even if you don't go, I will go."

Of course, in addition to technical promotion, it is also an excellent social occasion.
