It is unprecedented in China to introduce masterpieces and so many illustrations. But only 1,000 copies are printed, and it is difficult to reprint. The idea is not to make profits, and the price is as low as possible.

Don't come here."

⊙Mei Yiqi seldom talks, and seldom makes assertions.

I promise that China will never be like the green-backed banknotes of the United States and the German mark."

Wang said, "Mr. Judge, you confuse the government with the political power! State administrative organs are part of state institutions. Power refers to state power, that is, the power of the ruling class to exercise class rule, which is guaranteed by violent institutions such as the army, police, courts, and prisons... Mr. Judge, you The regime in question overthrew a certain government, such a question is logically confused and conceptually wrong!" ⊙In 1948, the national government ended its "political training" and held a national election.Yu Youren's calligraphy is well-known both at home and abroad. Before running for the election, he rushed to write nearly a thousand banners that read "Peace for the Eternal World", and planned to give them to the representatives of the National Congress to show his kindness and win him over.The reporter asked him what kind of support he had for running, and Yu replied, "I have a note."

Luo Ze said: "If I want to be the minister of foreign affairs, I will be the minister of foreign affairs. Minister of Foreign Affairs!" ⊙In 1941, the Japanese army launched a large-scale bombing of Chongqing.Zhang Jiluan said to Wang Yunsheng: "We should think of a way to attack the enemy. We will write an article today titled "We Are Harvesting Rice". Let's say, when the last ten days are sunny and enemy planes are attacking again and again, our farmers are thousands of miles away. Cut the golden rice between the fields, let the enemy planes come, and let them watch us cut the rice. Since the Anti-Japanese War, cutting rice is our top priority. With food, we can fight.” ⊙ On April 2, 1938, Peking University, Tsinghua University and the private Nankai University jointly formed the National Southwest Associated University (the school site is in Kunming).The three schools are both united and independent.To this end, Feng Youlan made an analogy: "At that time, the United Nations University seemed to be a big family in the old society. There were grandfathers and grandmothers as the parents at the top, and there were several houses below. Each house had its own" Private houses'. They generally live on the extended family, but each house has its own business." ⊙Han Fuju's speech: "There are no outsiders or bad guys here today, so I want to tell you three secrets: the first secret cannot be told to you for the time being, the content of the second secret is the same as the first secret, and the third secret is before The two points have been covered, and today’s speech ends here, thank you all.” ⊙When Wang Zengqi first arrived in Kunming, all American movies were shown in the cinema, and a person sat in a corner of the box and interpreted them, called "speech".Once there was a plot in the film: John invited Mary to dinner.

After the banquet, he rushed to pay the bill. His friend suddenly said loudly that he was not qualified to be the host.Jiang asked why.A friend said: "You are named 'Guest', which means you are destined to be a guest.

The student regretted it after seeing it, and determined to study from then on. Repeat, he thought. ⊙Wu Zhihui is very humorous.During the imperial examination in the late Qing Dynasty, Wu Zeng Zhongju, and later he said to his friends: I cheated this candidate, because the articles I wrote were not long, but they were all written in big seal characters, so the examiners of the imperial examination could not understand the characters, and felt that the characters were well written. Very good, just admitted me. ⊙Li Hongzhang did not know foreign languages, so before meeting with foreign envoys, he learned a few words temporarily, which often worked.One time when he saw a Russian envoy, he wanted to learn a few words of Russian, but Russian was extremely difficult to learn.

Sheng was still not satisfied.Ding simply falsely took 1 million, but Sheng thought it was too much, so Ding went down from 900,000, 800,000, and 700,000.Sheng was satisfied when Ding gave out 500,000 yuan when he was completely exhausted, and said, "Ding Weici! If you had told the truth earlier, wouldn't you have suffered so much less?" ⊙In 1880, Li Hongzhang instructed Tang Tingshu to present to the Qing court, requesting the construction of a coal transport railway.In order to avoid criticism from the opposition, it was specially stated in the memorial that this railway does not have a locomotive and is towed by donkeys and horses.The Qing court then allowed it to play. ⊙ On the day Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, representatives from all walks of life were invited to a banquet. Kang Shiduo, Wu Zesheng and Wang Jianzhai attended the banquet in the name of "representatives of the press".After Yuan Shikai toasted, the three kowtowed to the north and shouted long live three times, only Wang Jianzhai shouted long live four times.After leaving the palace, Kang Shiduo and Wu Zesheng repeatedly scolded him for being rude. ⊙In 1935, the 66-year-old former Prime Minister Xiong Xiling married the 33-year-old Fudan professor Mao Yanwen.Zheng Hongnian, the president of Jinan University, sent the couplet and said: "The children and grandchildren are surrounded by the new mother, and they are happy to see the old man." Mao Yanwen's classmate Chen Zhaoyu sent the couplet and said: "The old classmate becomes the new aunt, and the old uncle becomes the eldest brother-in-law." Another person made more damage, The couplet said: "Xiong Xiling's ambition is not dead, and Mao Yanwen suddenly realized." ⊙Before Cao Kun bribed the election of the president, in order to please Cao Kun, his subordinates spent 30,000 yuan to give an actor named Jin Mudan to Cao Kun as his concubine.When Cao Kun bribed the election, he bargained with the congressmen, and some congressmen brought out Jin Mudan, saying: Marshal Cao's bid is too low, and a vote of a dignified congressman is not as good as an actor? ⊙When Zhang Xun was restored, he only brought ten battalions of soldiers and horses into Beijing, and the large army was still in Xuzhou at that time.Before departure, Zhang Xun said to his subordinate Zhang Wensheng: After the restoration is announced, another 40 battalions of soldiers and horses will be dispatched to Beijing.When it was done, Zhang Xun sent a telegram to Zhang Wensheng, saying only that "forty pots of flowers will be transported to Beijing quickly" to avoid leaking the secret.In the end, he really received forty pots of flowers, and Zhang Xun was so angry that he said, "It's broken! This kid also smoked my ladder!" ⊙In 1913, the Hubei Metropolitan Government was reorganized. Rao Hanxiang was promoted from the Secretary of the Interior to the Minister of Civil Affairs.

All the equipment is in order, and there are two big circles of fiber rattan outside; if it hadn't been pulled back by pulling the beach, it would have almost overwhelmed the cypress boat; Master, you have to pay for a ship that sinks in waves." ⊙On May 2, 1884, the American "Chicago Daily Tribune" issued a shocking report: "Former Chinese Prime Minister Prince Gong (Yixin) committed suicide."The report also reviewed the political career of the Chinese "premier" with "two ups and downs", gave him a high evaluation, and used US Secretary of State Seward as a foil, "It is said that whenever Seward talks about China and the United States, In order to emphasize his authority, he always said, 'Prince Gong and I agree...'"
