Chapter 59 intense

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the fortunes of the country were weak, and foreigners used the word "China" as a scornful name for China. Su Manshu was very annoyed by this.Once, Manshu accidentally discovered from the Indian epic "Mahabharata" that the word "China" in ancient Indian language originated from the ancient Indians' praise of the "wisdom" of the Chinese people in the Shang Dynasty. He was very pleased and wrote letters all over the world. Tell friends, let everyone know that "China" originally represented the superiority of the Chinese nation.

Qin Yuliu recalled Su Manshu when he was studying in Japan and said: "Manshu is lonely and quiet. If you are incompetent, you can speak Cantonese. Everyone is very lonely when you meet him. . . Once recovered Taiwan, his mother was Japanese, Manshu's life experience is similar to her, and she respects her very much. Although Su Manshu is of mixed Chinese and Japanese blood, he hates the Japanese like enemies. He has lived in Japan for several years and refuses to speak Japanese, preferring to take the trouble to find someone to translate.Manshu was once infected with an epidemic. A friend came to visit and asked him in surprise why he didn't go to see a doctor. Manshu didn't answer, and talked about him from left to right.A friend forced him to go to the hospital. He said, "I am very grateful for your kindness. You understand my personality. If you are willing to be my interpreter, I will go to the hospital with you." The friend smiled and replied, "You don't have to worry about it. It's gone." So Manshu came to the hospital with his friends.The doctor received him warmly and asked Manshu what was wrong, but Manshu didn't say a word, and his friend answered on his behalf.The doctor asked while remembering, but when he turned around, Manshu disappeared, and his friends couldn't be found anywhere, so he could only apologize to the doctor and bid farewell.After finding Manshu’s residence, he had already returned. His friend said, “You are such a childish person. You went and ran back and didn’t tell me. Why?” Manshu replied, “You mispronounced my illness. How can you prescribe medicine indiscriminately." The friend said shyly: "Then you say it's not bad?" Manshu replied: "You forgot that I don't speak Japanese?" The friend left at a loss for words.

In 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, and the ensuing Xin Chou Treaty and Boxer indemnity made the already exhausted Chinese nation even more miserable.Su Manshu was studying at Datong School in Japan. The teachers and students of the school would shout sixteen-character slogans every day after class: "The shame of the country has not yet been revealed, and the people's livelihood is so difficult. I will never forget every meal, boy Xu Zai!" When in Suzhou, Su Manshu and his friend Zhu Liangren and others went to Monkey Mountain in the outskirts to "recall the soul of the country".They brought sacrifices and held a black cloth bordered with white borders (painted with a mighty lion on it, with the words "The soul returns" written on it) and climbed to the top of the mountain. The red flag of "Calling the Soul of the Country" sang the "Song of Calling the Soul of the Country" in unison.

Facing the national crisis and the broken mountains and rivers, Su Manshu said boldly: "If it is necessary and necessary, I will be Jing Ke today." In the book, Su Manshu denounced "Confucianism is a bullshit slave lesson" and "the emperor is a lone husband and a thief who robs other countries of the country."Lu Xun called it "the sound of waking up from the steam of blood". Su Manshu believes that it is "a work full of indignation, and the author really has a heart. ... In the seventh chapter, he writes about Jiao Da drunk and cursing, and the words are happy. Jiao Da must be writing about a Han person... What Jiao Da said... ...Words are blood, and words are tears. Therefore, this book has been banned for sale many times, and people all over the world have seen this. Everyone today reads this book, but they all have no feelings, and they only list it as a book of love. It is not wrong. ?”

Once, Su Manshu and his friends went to a beef restaurant for dinner and entered the private seat. Before they sat down, the shopkeeper came to stop him, saying that it was only for foreigners.Not long after, several foreigners entered the private seat, and they turned out to be Cantonese who had naturalized in Japan.Manshu, who is a Cantonese, published it in the newspaper. The opening article said with grief and indignation: "My heart is full of blood when I am sad, but I can't let it go! I heard it: foreigners and people from other provinces say that China will not perish. Once it dies, it will die in the hands of Guangdong people."

In 1905, Su Manshu taught at Nanjing Army Primary School. He visited the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty many times, and shed tears every time.One day, when Manshu was visiting the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, he came across a tile from the Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty. He regarded it as a treasure.In the future, he also asked Chen Qubing to write poems for Wadang, which shows how much he cherishes it. When the Revolution of 1911 broke out, Su Manshu was extremely excited when he heard the news in Java and was eager to return home.In his letter to Liu Yazi and Ma Junwu, he said: "The voice of the great man is aroused, and he wants to talk with his palms in the shadow of the sword; the lack of wisdom is suitable for foreign countries, but the left and right ears are the only ones."

In 1915, Su Manshu wrote a letter to Zheng Tongsun and Liu Yazi in Japan, saying: "The small garden is planted with beautiful trees, which is enough to look forward to. When I undress, I look for lice and put them on the ground. A dwarf also issued a lice in his hair, calling it Yu Guo. He, Yu said, "The lice on Yu's body are white, and the lice on the son's head are black. Why do you want to overpower them?" The dwarf is at a loss for words. However, I am a citizen of a weak country. Does Yazi know that I am sad and sighing?" On the letter paper, the words "I am a citizen of a weak country" are faintly stained with tears.

In 1916, the domestic situation was turbulent.One day, Liu Bannong and Su Manshu met. A dim oil lamp was lit in the room. The two sat on low soft chairs by the window. Liu Bannong discussed Western poetry with Manshu enthusiastically.Liu talked for a long time, but Manshu didn't open his mouth, he just smoked his cigar slowly.At the end, he suddenly said loudly: "Ban Nong, what kind of poems are you talking about and what kind of knowledge are you seeking at this time!" Su Manshu wrote: "Everyone will not become a Buddha in a day, and there will be tears in my dreams."
