Bloody Journey: Those Years in Northeast China

Bloody Journey: Those Years in the Northeast - Chapter 469 Young China Talk

"I grew up in a coal mine, and the reason I went to prison was to steal iron. If you tell me the reason, you may think that this person is embarrassing, but do you know why I steal iron?" Er Huizi suddenly raised his voice.

"In order to buy books, I stole iron to sell money to buy books! It can be said that in my more than forty years of life, books have been my best companions!"

"Of course, my story of stealing iron to buy books is definitely not worth following. The reason why I want to tell you about my stealing iron is because I want to tell everyone my attitude towards ideals."

"I was an underground worker back then. When I was resting while digging coal, other people were smoking, drinking, and bragging, but I was reading a book by the faint light of the miner's lamp above my head. At that time, my fellow workers laughed at me and said that I Big characters are not enough to pretend to be an educated person. There was even a man named Chen Tiezhu among my coworkers back then. This man was the most powerful bastard in the mine back then. He actually secretly tore up my books to wipe his ass!"

"Am I afraid of Chen Tiezhu? Of course I am afraid. He fought so hard back then, and a pipe pliers weighing dozens of kilograms was used to smash people's heads. Am I not afraid?" Said the second time, his eyes squinted involuntarily At a 45-degree angle, make a memorial.

"Chen Tiezhu has bullied me many times, and I endured it, but when I found out that he was tearing up my book secretly, even though I was terrified, I stood up and fought him hard! The entire Mining Bureau didn't People dare to provoke him, but I dare to fight him, why?" Er Huizi suddenly raised his voice

"Of course it's for ideals!" Erhuizi said hoarsely.

"He can beat me, he can scold me, but he can't tear up my book! This is my attitude towards ideals!"

"On the road, in the cafeteria, in the bathhouse, on the wine table, anytime, anywhere, you can easily catch me studying hard. It is precisely because I have paid so much for my ideals After so much hard work, I finally met a noble person when I was imprisoned for the second time!"

"This noble man is the current Party Secretary of our Hongqi City!" Erhuizi raised his voice again, and after saying this, he turned his head and bowed deeply to Li Guodong, "Thank you, Li Guodong. Secretary!" After thanking Li Guodong, Er Huizi turned around and faced the audience again.

"Secretary Li was the warden of Dabeigou back then. When he met me for the first time, he was reading a book of Soviet literature. I still remember that the book was called Quiet River Don, because I also read it. After reading this book, it is inevitable that there will be a few more words.”

"Secretary Li is a person who loves talents, and his own cultural accomplishment is quite high. He didn't expect me, a prisoner who stole iron, to know literature. Out of curiosity, he took the initiative to chat with me. The more we talked, the more speculative we became. , Even for me that night, Secretary Li did not hesitate to violate the principle, made a cup of strong tea, and left me in his office to talk all night. In this way, we discussed Soviet literature all night..."

As Erhuizi's narration became more and more realistic, Li Guodong smiled wryly on his face, and the audience in the audience became silent. They were not convinced by Erhuizi's spirit of showing his ideal, but by Erhuizi. The background of the son was overwhelmed.

The second son is actually an old friend with the secretary of the municipal party committee, so what's the deal?

Even those people in the audience who usually look down on Erhuizi looked at Erhuizi with reverence in their eyes, and no one doubted the authenticity of Erhuizi's words. After all, the secretary of the municipal party committee was here Sitting on the stage!

Erhuizi is definitely a smart man, so smart that he took advantage of the commendation conference, which was not an opportunity, to turn the secretary of the municipal party committee into his friend in public.

Once Erhuizi said these words, no matter whether he was a ruffian or an official in Hongqi City, who would dare to provoke him?Of course Er Huizi knew the benefits of doing so, so his speech continued: "

"Although I am a prisoner and Secretary Li is a state worker, our love for literature made us let go of our grievances and became friends with each other. The reason why I was able to start a business after I was released from prison was that Secretary Li lent me money and let me Opened the first book rental store!"

"Speaking of which, I have to talk about the laid-off workers in our city. I have also been a worker. I know that the workers are suffering and the workers are tired. The laid-off workers are even more bitter and tired. But is suffering and tiredness the reason for your depravity? ?”

"A lot of big old men send their wives to the ballroom, let them dance with other men, and then smoke and chat with others outside the door, do you think you are still human?"

"The reason why people are human is that they have thoughts and can think independently. If you live only to eat, what is the difference between you and an old sow in a pigsty? Is your ideal just to be a pig, or a pig? A murderer, a robber?" The expression on Erhuizi's face at this moment was as much indignation as he wanted.

"If you want to be a writer, you have to work hard every day; if you want to be a scientist, you have to study cultural knowledge desperately, and even if your ideal is just to be a man who stands upright in the family, then you should Get up early and work late, and hold up a piece of sky for your wife and children!"

"If you want to realize your ideals, there are no shortcuts. There are only two words, hard work! If a person has no ideals, what is the difference with a salted fish? Wake up, my dear friends, go Think about why we live!" At the end, Erhuizi raised his arms and shouted.

Originally, the atmosphere of the crowd was always joyous and high-spirited during the second speech, but after the second speech ended, the crowd became completely silent.

"Does your ideal want to be a pig, or a murderer, or a robber?" Er Huizi's angry voice echoed in people's ears for a long time, and some people even showed guilt on their faces. color.

People's ideology guides people's actions. If people fight for their ideals every day like chicken blood, what will the whole society and the whole country be like?

Thinking of this, even Li Guodong was moved and infected. He even sketched in his mind a scene of the entire Chinese society being thriving and full of vigor.

"...The wisdom of the youth makes the country wise, the youth is strong, the country is strong, the youth is stronger than Europe, the country is stronger than Europe, the youth is more powerful than the earth, the country is stronger than the earth..."

Li Guodong seems to have seen the immature faces of children, reading Liang Qichao's "Young China" aloud in school!
