Coquettish Rebirth

On the way back, Jia Hongjian kept a smile on his face.His confident and stable attitude really made Zhang Fenggu feel at ease, as if Jia Hongjian thought about it for 2 minutes after returning to the company, and then he could immediately come up with a suitable move to deal with someone like Mao. Same!

But at this time, Jia Hongjian really didn't have any good ideas, even after he got to the company, he didn't have any good ideas.Just as he was quietly sitting in his boss chair thinking, his cell phone rang suddenly.After picking up the phone, I heard the voice of Ye Jing's father on the other end of the phone, "Hello, Hung-chien? I heard that you got into a fight with that guy Mao?"

Probably Uncle Ye got the news from other places, so he called to take care of it.While thinking about this, Jia Hongjian replied, "Hehe, he scolded me first. Although I don't hesitate to talk to him, I can't let him scold for nothing? So it's like beating a child on a rainy day. Come on, if you have nothing to do, just play with him for a while." Jia Hongjian said this matter very easily, after all, don't let the elders worry.

Just after Jia Hongjian finished speaking, he listened to Uncle Ye on the other end of the phone and said, "Hehe, but it's fun, you should pay attention to the scale. The above has noticed the quarrel between the two of you." , Today, Mao’s article is about to hit the line, and the higher-ups are worried that the article you wrote later will cross the line, so let me remind you..."

Hearing this, Jia Hongjian just said "Oh", and suddenly realized something, he hurriedly asked: "Hey, Uncle Ye, what is the limit mentioned above?" "The limit is that the Americans openly You can write and talk about the published or declassified ones, but you can’t talk about the ones that are not written by the Americans. Hung-chien, let me tell you something, don’t tell the outside world, the central government will now catch this. What's the matter, so don't startle the snake..."

"The central government is catching those who have written articles that have crossed the line?" Jia Hongjian was taken aback for a moment. "Cough...the arrest has something to do with foreign countries. It works for foreigners! In short, now that the central government is investigating this matter, Boss Jiang is very angry and the consequences will be serious. So you have to be careful, don't listen to rumors. Write it all down. Otherwise, it will alert others. It would be bad if you escape early. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Jia Hongjian probably understood what was going on - during the Chinese New Year exercise, there was originally a plan to attack Taiwan.As a result, because of the leak of the news, all the US aircraft carriers were wandering around. Boss Jiang and the others were furious about this. Unexpectedly, the US spies were lurking at the top of the military—this plan was only known to the top of the military. !So it seems that after this incident, they began to investigate quietly. Looking at it now, it seems that they have already locked in people, and they are slowly tightening the encirclement, and then collecting evidence or something, so I don’t want Jia Hongjian to accidentally startle the snake. ...

After thinking of this, Jia Hongjian's attention did not focus on this area, but he began to think about things around the boundary mentioned earlier, "Hey, Uncle Ye, you said that the Americans made it public. Can it be said that I can say what other countries say publicly?" After hearing Jia Hongjian's words, Uncle Ye was taken aback, "What does other countries have to do with other countries? ?”

"It doesn't matter. What I mean is, I can quote whatever Western countries have said about the Ford Foundation?" Jia Hongjian asked. "Well, that's what it means." Uncle Ye roughly confirmed it. Although he didn't quite understand why Jia Hongjian said that, in the end he felt that the problem was not serious, so he nodded.

After hanging up the phone here, Jia Hongjian began to prepare to write an article.When chatting with Mr. Ye just now, he suddenly remembered something, that is, in his previous life, he had read a book, "Who Bears the Consequences—CIA and the Cultural Cold War" written by a British journalist, It is different from other Cold War analysis articles.This article does not analyze and decipher the exchanges between the two sides in the Cold War from a political or military point of view. Instead, it uses the newly declassified documents of the United States to compile a book about the "soft power" of the United States in culture, education, etc. "A book about Cold War struggles in the field.

Jia Hongjian vaguely remembered that in order to infiltrate the hegemonic ideology of the United States, the Central Intelligence Agency had carried out cultural export activities in the cultural field for more than half a century: holding lectures and seminars, establishing academic journals, opening libraries, and funding exchange visits of scholars, Endowment for chair professor positions, etc.The Cold War activities in the cultural field of the United States are actually fighting for the hearts of the people-they have long since discovered who has the so-called right to speak, whether it is brainwashing or bribery, as long as these people who have the right to speak If they take American values ​​as their values ​​and take the interests of the United States as their own interests, then they will become propagandists behind the enemy lines of the United States, and they will continue to promote the ideas that the United States wants them to have to the people of the other country. So as to destroy the ideas of those in the third world countries who want to protect or promote their own traditional culture!

This kind of cold war on the cultural front is, to put it bluntly, the so-called "soft power" proposed by Western countries in the 80s.What is soft power?That is, when China was still a kingdom of heaven, the king or prince of another country could run to China and shout "I wish I was born into a heavenly man"!Maybe even after going to China to study abroad, I never want to go back to China, and then spend my whole life in China, and even die in China!

Taking the appearance of one's own country not as a special case, but as a universal standard, is like when the Chinese dynasty had no national ideology before, it did not talk about the country, but only about culture.Let foreigners ignore the difference between countries and nations, but admire China purely culturally, and then feel that China is the highest stage of culture, and then they are willing to stay in China for a lifetime, and then no matter what the mother country is!The so-called cultural cold war in the United States is exactly the same thing. They are very aggressive in promoting the so-called overall Americanization. For example, in the 80s, China once popularized liberalization. At that time, socialism was what socialism was, and they simply stopped doing it. , just learn from the United States directly!This is the Cultural Cold War!

After thinking about this book, after thinking about the so-called cultural cold war, Jia Hongjian thought of a very simple way, that is, by finding this book, and starting from this aspect of the narrative, he directly tried to find a way to bring Mao and other people together. People are separated.Through Mao Zedong's so-called method of attracting neutral masses, then establishing a united front, and finally isolating and attacking a very small number of people, Mao was trying to hide someone in the camp of experts and scholars in an attempt to lure Jia Hongjian to attack the entire camp of experts and scholars. The trick failed!

After probably having an idea, Jia Hongjian patted his thigh, and immediately asked Xiao Zhang to take him to the Shanghai Library.He is quite excited now, he just thinks that as long as he finds this book, everything will be fine!If he remembered correctly, there was a foreign language borrowing area in the Shanghai Library.The meaning of this foreign language borrowing area is obvious, that is, to borrow books published in foreign countries but not in China!As long as he finds the English version of the book, Jia Hongjian can translate it himself!When it's time to slap the face, just look for the "drop point" a little bit, and then aim and hit the dry goods directly!

However, after arriving at the Shanghai Library, Jia Hongjian suddenly discovered a piece of bad news—the library industry has not yet been fully computerized these days, which means that there is no database for him to query!In the libraries of later generations, there are computers that can check the specific number. For example, after entering the name of the book or the author's name, you can directly check whether the book is in the collection, or where the book is located. The place, the number, which bookshelf it is on, whether it has been lent out, bought a total of the basics, and the remaining basics are on the bookshelf.But if there is no such digital query now, then Jia Hongjian needs to do it himself!

He, Jia Hongjian, spent an entire afternoon in the foreign language borrowing area of ​​the Shanghai Library. Not only did he look through all the bookshelves, he even asked the librarian for help at the end, but he couldn't find it. book!At the end of the day, it gave Jia Hongjian a bit of a headache—he thought of using this book as a basis to make face-slapping texts, but he couldn't find the book now, and his Jia Hongjian's memory of this book was not clear. It's not so deep that you can roughly remember the main ideas and main content of each chapter and page, how can you write this?

In the end, when returning to the company, Jia Hongjian simply thought of a trick. He called Ye Jing in the United States directly and asked Ye Jing to inquire about the relationship between the American Sherlock Holmes Company and the American publishing house and book company. system to see if there are any books on this in the United States.But one night passed, and after the next morning, Ye Jing called and said that the book was not available in the United States either!

Wipe, this is a headache!Could it be that this book has not been written yet?Is there no such book in the world now?So under such circumstances, how did he, Jia Hongjian, write about this aspect?Why can't Ye Jing go to check the CIA's declassified files over the years, and use the first-hand information to directly do it herself?Even if Ye Jing agreed, the Americans might not agree!After all, Ye Jing is of Chinese nationality. Can this non-US citizen check the declassified files of the United States casually?Jia Hongjian really didn't understand this, so he wanted to think about it and see if he had other ideas... Wait, a bold idea really appeared in his mind! (To be continued..)
