Chapter 25 Can't bear to read

⊙Tao Juyin has an article titled "Building a Republic" in the book "Anecdotes of Zhenghai", in which he said: "In the third or fourth year of the Republic of China, every time Yuan talked with others about the achievements of running a republic, he was very concerned about the achievements of the provincial officials. Those who came to Beijing to ask for training also took this as an inquiry." Tao then sighed: "The husband's republican government is swearing, how can it be allowed to be crowned with the word "office"? It is clear that it despises the republic and that it is a trial nature. However, those who heard it first There is no response, since opposing the republic is an act of treason, and although the head of state has something to say, no one dares to say it."

⊙November 1922, the 25th anniversary of Peking University.Jiang Menglin promised to the teachers and students of the school that the library must be built in the summer vacation of the second year, so that the students can have a place to read after school starts.At the beginning of September of the following year, when the students returned from summer vacation, they didn't even see the library.At the opening ceremony, Jiang Menglin had no choice but to apologize to everyone, saying that the reason was simple: the Beiyang government hadn't distributed school funding to Peking University for eight months.

⊙Xia Yan said about Sai Jinhua in "Lazy Search for Old Dreams": "Her life experiences in the first half of the 20th century, de Maupassant wrote about them in novels in the 1880s.

The soul of a big man in the temple is not as good as a prostitute." ⊙ In April 1928, Gu Hongming passed away with his braids. In September, "Shenbao" announced the results of a survey: 4,689 men's braids remained in Beijing. ⊙After the Revolution of 1911, cutting braids became the top priority of the revolution.In order to completely cut off the braids, the government of the Republic of China issued the braid cutting decree again and again. In 1912, No. 29 of the "Provisional Government Gazette" published the "Presidential Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Instruct People to Cut Their Braids". In June 1914, the Ministry of the Interior issued the "Six Rules for Exhorting Hair Cutting", stipulating that officials and officials must cut their braids, because at that time there were still more than ten braids in the Senate.

⊙In 1923, Cao Kun was elected president by bribery, which aroused criticism at home and abroad.Wu Jingheng mentioned this matter in a speech. He said: "If all human sperm can be transformed into human beings, then Cao Kun and his wife will have 40 million children after one intercourse. Unanimously vote for him. There is no need to waste a lot of money to buy congressmen." Since then, Cao Kun has often been called the "sperm president". ⊙Hong Xiuquan had many wives and concubines, plus all kinds of female officials and ministers, there were a total of 2,300 in the palace. Hong Xiuquan couldn't remember the names, so he simply numbered them all.

⊙ Braided Shuai Zhang Xun has a concubine named Xiao Maozi.During the Revolution of 1911, Zhang Xun served as the governor of Liangjiang. He fought against the revolutionary party and lost Nanjing.After Chen Qimei learned the news, she proposed to Xu Shaozhen to send Xiaomaozi to Shanghai for an exhibition. The ticket price was 40 cents per person, so as to raise military expenses for the revolutionary army.After hearing this, Xu Shaozhen laughed and said, "A certain man is here to play tricks on me again." ⊙Hong Xiuquan once issued an edict asking all places to offer beauties. The edict said: "That is to say, since the four weeks of the dynasty, all parties will be unified. The east will pay tribute to the big sister, and the northwest will present the young girl. The Taiping will be unified, and the blessings of heaven can be praised." There is also a consoling edict Then, he said: "You sisters, don't be disobedient. It's good to be willing to welcome you. If you are beaten or scolded, don't regret it. The beating is kindness and the scolding is pretty."

⊙Chen Gongbo defended Wang Jingwei and said: "I think the war of resistance should be done, but peace is a last resort. Think about it calmly. When Mr. Wang came to Beijing, the area was occupied to dozens of provinces. There was only rescue for the people, and there was no country to sell. For several years in Nanjing, in order to preserve the vitality of the country and the people, he was devastated every day, endured insults and scolding, and had no choice but to suffer personally, let alone glory. Today, we should remember Mr. Wang’s meritorious service in founding the Republic of China and his history and personality."

⊙Cao Kun has a son, Cao Shisong, who is called "Cao Shisan" because he is the thirteenth.After Cao Kun's death, Cao Shisan went whoring and gambling all day long. His sister was worried that he would ruin the family, so she decided to divide the property and asked Wu Peifu to be the main witness.Wu advocated equality between men and women, and equal distribution of family property.At the end of the distribution, there was an emerald hairpin left. Wu said it was women's jewelry, so he asked Cao Shisan to give it to his sister.Cao Shisan said: "Since men and women are equal, let each have half!" After speaking, he broke the green hairpin into two pieces on the spot and gave half to his sister.Wu Peifu was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted, "You're such an idiot!" He was ordered to throw him out.

⊙Yang Sen has many wives and many children. When he returned to Sichuan once, when he got off the plane, he was greeted by a group of children. He was overjoyed from ear to ear, and told him, "Go back first, and I'll go home as soon as I'm done!" As a result, there was only one son. Let's go, Commander Yang stepped forward and said with one mouth: "Didn't you hear when I told you to go back?" The chief of staff next to him stood at attention and saluted: "Report to Commander, this is a dog." ⊙Yang Sen advocated the "New Life Movement" in Sichuan, requiring women to wear shorts and shorts to participate in physical exercise. One day, he happened to see a lively girl in the sports field. He was very interested and asked her about her family background.He replied, "Commander Yang's daughter." Yang asked again, "Where is there a Commander Yang in Sichuan?" He replied, "It's you."

⊙During the Anti-Japanese War, the national army often owed wages, some for as long as 17 years.After a major company commander was dismissed, he asked the chief of the army for 2,000 yuan in salary arrears over the years. The chief had no choice but to send him back to the gendarmerie headquarters as a lieutenant colonel. ⊙There was a shortage of food in Tianjing City, and there was heavy fog on a certain day.

⊙In October 1931, Puyi and Wenxiu reached a divorce agreement outside the court.The grounds for divorce are: the two have never had sex in nine years of marriage.This incident became explosive news at the time, and newspapers played up it with headlines such as "The Concubine's Revolution" and "Unprecedented-the imperial concubine divorced the emperor".At that time, the last of the "five conditions for divorce" was: "After negotiation between the two parties, Wenxiu is not allowed to remarry after divorce." ⊙Once, when Cao Kun went to the dissection room, he saw the professor dissecting silkworms with a microscope, and said, "You use your brains so meticulously, and the monthly salary of 200 yuan is really not enough for your blood and sweat!"

⊙Liang Shiqiu still capitalized leisurely words when the anti-Japanese war was intensified, and was criticized by left-wing writers as "the anti-Japanese war has nothing to do with it".He defended himself by saying: "It is true that people can use a kitchen knife to kill people when they are in a hurry, but killing people is not the mission of the kitchen knife after all." ⊙During the Anti-Japanese War, the Institute of History and Linguistics of the Academia Sinica moved to Lizhuang Town, Nanxi County, Sichuan.The fourth group of the Institute of History and Philology is the anthropological group, which has many human skulls and human bones excavated from different regions.Soon, these things were discovered by the local people. Every night, someone stood on the mountain and shouted: "The research institute has killed people, the research institute has killed people!" ⊙In 1921, Zhang Chonghe's father Zhang Wuling founded Leyi Girls Middle School in Suzhou.His family laughed at him and said: "This man is so stupid that he doesn't spend his money on his own children, but on other people's children." ⊙The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has a holy family tree: Tianxiong is the prince of the heavenly father, and Tianwang is the second son of the heavenly father.Later, the heavenly brother Xiao Chaogui (Xiao Zeng pretended to be the heavenly brother Jesus descended to earth) married Hong Xuanjiao, the sister of the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan, a brother and brother-in-law. It was a bit confusing to call Xiao Chaogui, so Hong Xiuquan had to call Xiao Chaogui "the emperor's son-in-law" or "your brother-in-law". ⊙When the British scholar Joseph Needham went to Kunming for academic exchanges, he once commented on Chinese professors during the Anti-Japanese War: "Many of them are often famous in Europe and the United States and cannot get enough." ⊙After the outbreak of the May 4th Movement, Sun Yat-sen wrote to Jiang Menglin, the president of Peking University: "Lead two thousand children and help me in the revolution." ⊙Dong Wang Yang Xiuqing was very worried because many concubines in his mansion were seduced by servants, so he wanted to install eunuchs.Li Shouhui and Li Shouchun volunteered, saying they knew the technique of castration.Dong Wang was very happy and asked the two to choose more than a dozen young children for experiments.Unexpectedly, with one stab, four or five of them died immediately. Even though the wounds of the rest were covered with medicine, the wounds could not heal, and finally died of pain. ⊙When Ma Yinchu lived in Hangzhou in 1936, he often took his son to the bathhouse to take a bath.The waiter saw that the vests Ma and his son wore in summer were always full of holes, and the robes they wore in winter were also shabby, so they couldn't help but said: "Mr. Ma is a member of the provincial government and a doctor of economics, and he still wears such shabby clothes?" Said: "It's cool to wear a vest with holes in summer." He also said: "The function of clothes is to keep warm. It doesn't matter whether it is new or old, as long as it can be worn, it doesn't matter!" ⊙The rice used for cooking in the canteen of Lianhe University students is the "gold rice" provided by the government. It is very rough and contains a lot of sand, stones, rat droppings, and chaff. "What are the eight treasures?" Said: "Grain, bran, chaff, barnyardgrass, stone, sand, rat excrement and musty smell. It is red in color and strong in taste. It can be smelled fifty steps away from the dining hall. It is opposite to the teeth." And patience is the biggest test. I would like to leave the secret recipe for enjoying it: fill the rice half full, scoop up a spoonful of soup or water, stir it vigorously with chopsticks, and make it into a vortex. Among the eight treasures, seven treasures will sink to the bottom of the bowl. Increase the purity of rice to about 90%." ⊙During the Anti-Japanese War, the government of the Republic of China had financial difficulties, prices rose, civil servants lived in hardship, and their mood was depressed.Yan Jiagan was the director of the Fujian Construction Department at the time. Once he went to a friend's house and saw a strange picture in the living room: one person was sitting on a chair, and the other was kneeling in front of him. Looking carefully, the kneeling and sitting people were both friend himself.Yan Bai couldn't figure it out. When he asked, he replied, "It's called asking others rather than yourself." ⊙When he was at the Southwest Associated University, Jiang Lifu suffered from stomach ulcers, duodenal bleeding, etc., and was not suitable for eating brown rice, so he sent the brown rice to a rice mill for processing.There are a lot of people milling rice, and it is necessary to lift the rice bags to the mill one by one.Jiang Lifu often scattered rice on the ground, and before he could pick up a handful, people waiting behind would come up, and the scattered rice had to be thrown away for nothing, and in the end only half a bag remained. ⊙Pu Jiangqing said in a letter to his family on February 20, 1943: "The current salary is still the same, and my colleagues are extremely poor. This month, the Ministry of Education rewards school teachers who have served for more than ten years, each with a fund of 1,500 Yuan, I have already received it, and there are some small supplements." He added: "Now I need to add two mosquito nets and half a dozen socks, and it will cost six to seven hundred yuan." ⊙ On March 8, 1941, Zhu Ziqing wrote in his diary: "Originally everything went smoothly, but because of hunger, the efficiency was affected. I have never felt hungry in the past, and I often boast that I don't know what hunger is. But now one to twelve My legs are weak, my hands are trembling, and my eyes are blurry, just eat a little. This is probably the reason for eating two meals, and it is also because of excessive use of stored energy." ⊙After Luo Changpei's death, Lao She said in his mourning article: "He can sing many Kunqu operas. Xintian (Luo Changpei's character), I will never hear your smooth voice again, singing "Night Run"!" ⊙Yang Chongrui, the pioneer of maternal and child health in my country, made a statistic in 1928: "In China, there are no less than 500 maternal deaths every day, and 400 of them cannot be rescued." ⊙ On April 15, 1919, Hong Shuzu, the direct commander of the assassination of Song Jiaoren, was executed by hanging.

After signing the "Xin Chou Treaty", he also wrote a poem, which read: "Three hundred years have hurt the country step, eight thousand miles away to hang the disabled people." ⊙During the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, a large part of Japan's military expenditure came from the fanatical donations from the Japanese people.According to statistics, the total population of Japan at that time was 41.81 million, and at least 7.4% of them donated money. ⊙In 1881, Li Hongzhang said that if Japan dared to despise China, China might as well "withdraw its defenses from the Russian army, divide the army into three lines, carry ships, and go straight to Nagasaki, Yokohama, and Kobe... The reputation is strong, and the enemy is afraid. ". ⊙ Ke Xingzhi, the author of "The Biography of Shi Pingmei", once said with emotion: "In any literary history, there is no mention of Shi Pingmei, a famous female writer in the May Fourth New Culture period."

This place is in the south of Henan Province, hundreds of miles away from Qinyang.The Feng Department strayed into Biyang, which delayed the opportunity of the war, and eventually led to the failure of the anti-Chiang. ⊙ After Zhang Guotao defected to the Kuomintang, he said to Chiang Kai-shek: "Chairman, my brother has been confused for many years." ⊙Hong Jun once drew a map of the Sino-Russian border based on Russian maps.

It was later clarified under the vigorous defense of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Qing Dynasty, and Hong Jun was impeached for this. ⊙ Zhang Taiyan saw Chen Er'an, the deputy chief of staff, and said to people: "This is the first-class person in China, but he will be the one who will die in the Republic of China in the future." Er'an hated him so much that he lured Zhang to Beijing and was placed under house arrest in Longquan Temple .After Taiyan's death, Er'an said: "Taiyan died in the cloud, and there is no one in the world who really knows why I, Chen, am like a human being. Taiyan really knows me, and I really know Taiyan. Lu Langzhai said that it is better to get Zhang Taiyan to write a text than to use it. One hundred thousand soldiers and horses still despise Taiyan's ears; I say that the word Taiyan can determine the safety of the world." ⊙On November 7, 1918, Liang Ji and his son Liang Shuming discussed news about the European War. "Will the world be better?" Liang Ji asked.Liang Shuming replied: "I believe that the world is getting better day by day." "It's good if it can be better!"
