Chapter 34 In memory of Mr. Leung Kai-chiu

Missing Teachers and Friends, Series 4 Chapter 68 Commemorating Mr. Liang Qichao (1) Today is the fourteenth anniversary of the death of Mr. Liang Rengong (Qichao), and friends Zhang Xuguang and Zhou Zhifeng proposed to write commemorative essays.Last year Shuming returned to Guizhou from Hong Kong, and at the behest of a friend, he wrote an article commemorating the second anniversary of Mr. Cai Zimin's death.Since those who are foolish have learned from both Mr. Cai and Liang, it is natural for them to commemorate Mr. Liang's article.In commemoration of Mr. Cai's article, he pointed out the greatness of Mr. Cai.This article is roughly the same.

1. How to recognize the greatness of Mr. Ren Gong To know the greatness of Mr. Ren Gong, it is necessary to make a comparison with the people at the same time before and after him.For example, Mr. Cai is one of the characters before and after him.The two have been in China for nearly fifty years and have made the greatest contribution.Moreover, its contributions are in the ideological and academic circles, especially the introduction of new trends of thought, breaking through the old traps, and promoting the overall situation of the country.However, the strange thing is that Mr. Ren is eight years younger than Mr. Cai, so he should be later in terms of age, but his influence is first.It was at the beginning of nearly fifty years that his work began.Forty years ago, in the world of thought, he had already ruled the whole world.Thirty-five years ago, Chinese politics were all dominated by the constitutional movement, and this movement was dominated by him.In his heyday, the older Mr. Chua was largely unknown (Chua was an early riser, but not to society at large).It was twenty-four years ago that Mr. Cai created his world from the "May 4th Movement".The new trend of thought after the European War was imported here (especially the anti-capitalist trend), and the national revolution was born here.Therefore, his influence on the overall politics is only a matter of nearly two decades.

When Mr. Ren Gong was in his heyday, the general society felt his inspiration and accepted his leadership.Its power is so widespread that it cannot be matched by any figures before and after it, such as Kang Youwei, Yan Jidao, Zhang Taiyan, Zhang Xingyan, Chen Duxiu, Hu Shizhi, etc.We hardly ever see a single person who can exert such a wide and powerful influence.Kang was originally Ren Gong's teacher, and Ren Gongyuan felt his inspiration and accepted his leadership.However, within a few years, Ren Gong's voice and light far surpassed the Kang family, covering him up.But it should be noted that his period of time was not very long.For example, the year when he came to power (the second year of the Republic of China, that is, 1913; the sixth year of the Republic of China, that is, 1917, two years), is no longer his era.After entering the "May 4th Movement", he would go with the trend of the times instead.After the eighth and ninth years of the Republic of China (1919 and 1920), he and his friends Jiang Baili, Lin Changmin, Lan Zhixian, Zhang Dongsun, etc. gave up political activities, organized a "new society", published "Liberation and Reform", and Collecting books by the Gongxue Society and giving lectures in universities in the north and south were completely influenced by the new atmosphere developed by Mr. Cai at Peking University.

Therefore, when it comes to the long-term and short-term comparison of the social influence, Ren Gong is not as good as other people.So someone commented on him a few words: Its appearance is like a long comet candle in the sky, like a viburnum shining in the world, and the light will not come and go, and the political and academic circles will not have a continuous influence. ——This is the peculiarity of Ren Gong. "Chen Bozhuang Newsletter" ("Thoughts and Times", Issue 13) That's right.From this, we can understand that although you gentlemen are all great, their greatness is different and should not be sloppyly confused.Ren Gong's uniqueness lies in his quick sensitivity, but he can make it public and convey it to others.He is very good at absorbing all kinds of different ideas and academics, and he is the best at displaying them.But it lacks subtlety and profoundness, so it cannot last for a long time.For example, those who are not understood by people at the moment, and whose value becomes more apparent as time goes on, are not his thing.This is also the reason why he created his world when he was around thirty years old, while Mr. Cai had to stay in his fifties.His influence on Chinese society is greater than that of Mr. Cai in terms of space, but will be less than that of Mr. Cai in terms of time, which also depends on this.

In the past, Han Xin and Han Gaozu each had outstanding talents, one was a good soldier and the other was a good general.Comparing Mr. Cai and Mr. Liang, they are similar in positive and negative.Mr. Cai is like Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. He didn't need to fight everywhere by himself, but he could gather a group of heroes to achieve great things together.Ren Gong, no matter his scholarship or writing, is like Han Xin's general soldier, the more the better.Charge forward by yourself, no matter what.His influence on people is direct, which is beyond Mr. Cai's. Ren Gong is full of enthusiasm, so he can't help but want too much.Sometimes innocent, without losing its innocence.Therein lies its loveliness, and herein lies its greatness.However, the lack of concentration and composure leads to many failures in life.

2. Gains and losses in Mr. Ren Gong's life We commemorate the former sages, and perhaps we should only commend his merits.Helplessly, I miss Mr. Ren Gong, and I always feel sorry for him.Ren Gong's academic achievements are more quantitative than qualitative, and due to space limitations, he cannot list them all.Now let’s talk about its political gains and losses. In the Qing Dynasty, there were two major factions, the Paiman Revolutionary and the Constitutional Monarchy.Ren Gong once came and went, but generally stood on the constitutional side and was his leader.Although the revolutionaries won in the end, the inspiration of the Chinese people's political thoughts still owed a lot to others, which indirectly helped the revolutionaries of 1911 a lot.The people of the country should recite his merits, and he himself can take comfort from it.

After the founding of the Republic of China, Song Dunchu (Jiaoren) wanted to implement the government party cabinet, which was exactly in line with Ren Gong Suhuai.At that time, it was agreed to help Song with all its strength, but unfortunately the Song family was assassinated, and the opportunity for cooperation between the two factions was lost.In addition to Yuan Shikai's various wins.Various stimuli from the Kuomintang led to the formation of the Progressive Party against the Kuomintang.Furthermore, Xiong Xiling was ordered by Yuan to form a cabinet, and the Progressive Party was implicitly in power.In the end, he fell into the heavy responsibility of countersigning Yuan's order to dissolve the National Assembly, and he could not escape.With the National Assembly disbanded and all political parties lost ground, Xiong's Pavilion certainly cannot stand.Political derailment, the overall situation corrupted, Ren Gong regretted it too much.This was the first failure in his political life.Naturally, what happened on that day was caused by all parties, and Ren Gong is not alone to blame.It is Chunqiu who blames the sages, and the sages blame themselves, they have to be like this.

Mr. Ren Gong knew and regretted it, so he rose up to overthrow Yuan during the Yuan dynasty.In the movement to overthrow Yuan, Mr. did his best.If it is said that the founding of the Republic of China was the first contribution of the revolutionaries, then this time the re-establishment of the republic has to be made by his faction.The facts of that day have their own historical records recorded by historians, so I won't repeat them here.This is Mr. Ren Gong's first great contribution to the country in political activities. It's a pity that his father died suddenly in Dao Yuanzhong. Mr. Yuan Daohou took care of the funeral and kept the clothes before he got it.So it was planted that Zuo Duan (Qi Rui) came to power in the sixth year of the Republic of China (1917).There is also a paragraph opposing the restoration of Kang (Youwei) and Zhang (Xun).Faith is like what Ren Gong said decades ago, "I love my teacher, and I especially love the truth", which can be counted as his second contribution to the country.

Missing Teachers and Friends, Series 4 Chapter 69 Commemorating Mr. Liang Qichao (2) The restoration has been defeated, the republic has been established for three years, Duan and Liang are in power hand in hand, and they still have a bit of the cabinet spirit of the Progressive Party.This is definitely the lineup that Ren Gong should have on stage.But it should never be, never should be, refuse to restore the Congress, and create a new Congress, so as to destroy the legal system, cause the "battle of law enforcement", and plunge the country into civil war for years.It was the second serious failure of his political life.There is no excuse for responsibility this time, which is different from the previous one.We can only feel sorry for his old man at the end of school, and his political career has come to an end.

In general, Mr. Ren Gong’s achievements in his life are not in academics or meritorious deeds. He is alone in welcoming the new world movement, opening up new trends, shaking the hearts of the whole country, and achieving a transformation that Chinese society should have in history.This is exactly the same as what I said in the article commemorating Mr. Cai: Mr. Cai’s achievements are not academic or meritorious, but they create a trend, promote the overall situation, and influence future generations. 3. My personal gratitude to Mr. Ren Gong I was one of the people who was deeply inspired by Mr. Ren Gong in my early years.In terms of age, I am twenty years younger than my husband.When he organized "Current Affairs" and "Qing Yi Bao" in his twenties, I couldn't read his articles.Even when he was 30 years old, he started publishing "Xinmin Congbao".When I was fifteen years old, it seemed that "Xinmin Congbao" had ceased to be published. I found Renyin, Guimao, and Jiachen. More than six million words), and a thick volume of "The Debate between the Constitutionalist and the Revolutionary Faction" (a collection of all articles in the reciprocal debates between Ren Gong and Wang Jingwei, Hu Hanmin, etc.) to fully read.At that time, those who slept in it were about three or four years old.At the age of eighteen, the "Guofeng Bao" was published, and I just continued to read it.This is a richer and more practical education than my five years of middle school.Although today, the times are more than thirty years apart, it is still very useful for young people to read.It's a pity that only "Anthology of Drinking Ice Room" exists today, and the original newspaper is almost unavailable.Among them, there are many other articles and records of news and current events, which account for about eight out of ten and are also important.Thinking about it so far, I still think it is my great happiness.

Mr. Cai has not written many books, and I have not read many, but I yearn for him spiritually.In the fifth year of the Republic of China (1916), he met Mr. Cai because of the introduction of Mr. Fan Jingsheng (Yuan Lian).But Mr. Ren Gong never asked to see him.Because my late father admired Mr. Ren for many years, when he returned from overseas, he visited him four times but did not see him, and he did not get an answer when he submitted a letter twice, so I dare not take the liberty.By the ninth year of the Republic of China (1920), Mr. Ren gradually knew me.One day, he, together with Mr. Jiang Baili and Mr. Lin Zaiping, visited me at home in vain steps.From this, we often go back and forth.In the fourteenth year of the Republic of China (1925), I compiled and printed my father's suicide note, and I gave him a copy.In the book, there are things that my late father recorded in his repeated visits, but he never encountered the matter of submitting a book but not answering it, and he deeply lamented it.I wrote to point out this passage and asked him to read it.He wrote back and wept hundreds of words, deeply blaming himself.Ask me to tell him that "Qichao has no teeth and dare not forget the teaching of Mr.While lamenting his contempt for scholars, late father Gai still expected him to take the great task of saving the country.If my father knew about this matter, he should be happy.As for me who is the son of man, of course I am very grateful to him (Note: Mr. Ren Gong's reply is attached). In the spring of the eighteenth year (1929), I was very sad when I heard the news of Mr. Ren Gong's death in Guangzhou.Since the fellowship, I have inherited, rewarded and loved, discussed knowledge from time to time, and consulted with an open mind (Mr.First, he has been involved in national affairs for decades, so he is very eager to find solutions to China's problems, but he still has no idea where the nation's future lies.Second, he claims to obey Confucianism and likes to talk about Buddhism. He is sincerely an enthusiastic person with lofty ideals on life issues, but he really doesn't understand it.I gradually have a glimpse of these two major problems, and I am eager to ask for a face-to-face correction with a little bit of experience.Unexpectedly, the husband is an ancient man, let alone meet and talk heart to heart, only endless hatred.Today is this article, although more than ten years have passed, it is still full of nostalgia and gratitude! January 1943 Attachment: Mr. Ren Gong's fourteen-year reply to Shuming's letter to Shuming Zong's brother Huijian: After reading the newspaper, I knew that Mr. Ju Chuan's posthumous essays had been compiled and printed, and I was thinking about writing and begging for money.After reading the slips, I read a passage in "Fu Egg Record" carefully, knowing why Mr. Qichao is so generous with his promise, and the reason why Qichao met Mr. is because he has nothing to do with him.I can't remember the past, but I dare not have other words to cover up my crime.In a word, if you don't study hard, you can't bear the weight of the world with sincerity, so that you can't be ashamed of scholars, and you can't be conscious of being like ordinary people every day.After his husband was martyred, Qichao read his last words in the newspaper. He was so moved that he couldn't believe it. He deeply regretted that there was such a person in the world, but I didn't see him. The heir, the prime minister told each other, and he knew it, so the heart of accepting the handover became more and more earnest).Unexpectedly, Mr. has humiliated the teacher for four or five years, but I have refused to do so! Although there are not many words of mutual education in "Fu Egg Record", as Hui Weng said, one stick and one mark, one slap and one blood, the reason for this is that it really benefits the enlightened and surpassed.In the last few words, Gai still does not think that Qi Chao is unteachable, and he will not bear it in the end; the virtue of the gentleman makes me know it!May my brother have time to tell me when he sacrifices in the spring and Autumn period, saying: Qi Chao has no teeth and dare not forget the teachings of his husband, and strives to save the world with his spirit, so he will repay his husband.I haven't read all the suicide notes, but I dare to believe that every word of this kind of majestic and strong personality is related to the morals of the world.Its effectiveness is not seen today, and it must be seen in the future.Wu Shuming's benefit thinking is why I continue to describe it and make it great, that is, my husband will never die!The school affairs are new, and the schoolwork is quite busy.He is also burying his dead wife, and he has no time to pay for his death.Respect and thank you hastily, without declaring it in case. Goodbye Qi Chao.October 1st.
