Chapter 26 Twenty-six, micro-features

Annihilation: On October 6, 1915, Tianjin "Ta Kung Pao" reported the news of the test flight of the Chinese aircraft. The test flight failed. The report said: ... due to insensitivity in the aircraft, it fell to the ground immediately and injured the platoon leader of the aircraft company ...and the reaction of the audience was:...the guests from all walks of life were disappointed and scattered. It was a battle, and there were too many people...No one cared about the safety of the pilots, and the audience "smacked it"...Now we know what we lack What's up. Cracking down on counterfeiting: Ma Pinghen, a female student, met Lu Xun in Hangzhou and gave her a poem: I come to Junjiju, who will awaken the soul?Pingping mountain forest track, I will go with my husband in the next year... Because the poem is too bad, so Ma Pinghen wrote to Lu Xun.Lu Xun was surprised: I never went to Hangzhou. Someone dared to pretend to be me, so I asked my friends to investigate first. Sure enough, I found a fake Lu Xun. What should I do next?Lu Xun took Xu Guangping to Hangzhou for publicity, and the fake Lu Xun disappeared.

People's livelihood: In 1960, Japan launched the National Income Doubling Plan, aiming to double the real income of ordinary people within 10 years.The operation of this plan is very simple. It is nothing more than vigorously supporting private small and medium-sized enterprises, improving production efficiency, and continuously increasing national income in the process.When people have money, they stimulate enterprises to reproduce through consumption.In this way, Japan made itself an economic powerhouse.Only a country whose people are rich is a truly powerful country. The missionary Matteo Ricci summarized the Chinese people in the Ming Dynasty: 1. Personal interests are higher than national interests; 2. Personal relationships are higher than abstract principles; 3. Personal preferences are higher than right and wrong judgments;

Reading: Bush Jr. is notoriously not fond of reading. At most, he only reads for 15 minutes before going to bed, so he can only use the opportunity of vacation to read binge-reading in a targeted manner.Every time he reads a good book, he can't help running out to recommend it. He has recommended more than a dozen books to Americans, including "The Prince" and "King Roosevelt"... A country that dares to recommend books to the public is powerful.They don't need to unify their minds, they are only afraid that the people will lose their skepticism. Old news: Former US Vice President Al Gore graduated from Harvard University, so Harvard nominated him as the candidate for the new president of this prestigious school.However, Gore is only one of the 500 nominated candidates. In the United States, it is far more difficult to become a university president than to run for the president. Gore’s academic background does not have the slightest advantage, so he has no chance in the end... The spirit of university independence, the vice president has no chance The position of principal is still relatively unfamiliar to some countries.

Descendants: Zhang Xueliang's nephew Zhang Lushi returned to China and went to Shenyang. He wanted to visit the grave of his grandfather Zhang Zuolin, but was rejected.Because every day someone claims that he is Zhang Zuolin's grandson and asks the government to accept him.Zhang Lushi found the museum, conducted an interview, answered questions about the Zhang family's genealogy, and confirmed his identity by overseas phone calls. Finally, Zhang Zuolin's descendants stood in front of the grave for the first time. Treasure hunt: In 1979, after Williams published a book, he claimed that readers could find a golden rabbit with gems according to the clues provided by the book.The book became extremely expensive in Luoyang, selling more than 1 million copies.Two years later, the golden rabbit was found under a stone cross in Amphill, Bedfordshire, England.

In 1896, Li Hongzhang went to the United States. When his ship entered New York Harbor, he was greeted by many magnificent motorboats.Li Hongzhang thought it was an American official who came to greet him, but on the other side's boat, all young men and women jumped over, and it turned out to be the boat of the American media.Li Hongzhang said: In the United States, the media is omnipotent.The reporters shook hands with Li Hongzhang and asked: What news do you want to release?Li Hongzhang said: I want to learn something from you... Li Hongzhang knows that he has to learn from others. In 1925, the Beijing Women's Normal University students expelled the principal Yang Yinyu.Lu Xun, who worked in the Ministry of Education at the time, supported it.Zhang Shizhao, the head of education, was unable to do Lu Xun's work, so he fired Lu Xun.Lu Xun was furious and took Zhang Shizhao to court.In terms of rank, Zhang Shizhao is a ministerial leader, and Lu Xun is at most a senior staff member (maybe a deputy director). Guess who won this lawsuit?Yes, Lu Xun won.The officials in the Republic of China were quite sad.

Chiang Ching-kuo was in southern Jiangxi when he was young. He once said: I walked 2,850 miles in southern Jiangxi and passed 974 bridges. Among them, 714 needed to be repaired, 84 could not be walked on, and only three or four were newly built. Not solid.The rest of the bridges are all made of a single fir.Of the 189 tea kiosks I passed, only 21 were recently repaired, and 42 could barely sit.I saw 43 water conservancy projects, and 39 need to be repaired...Comment: Numbers make great people. In the late Qing Dynasty, the six southern provinces held a rural examination every three years. The following are the questions of the 1901 rural examination: 1. Chinese and Western laws are different, and Westerners are not punished by Chinese laws.What should China do to become its own master? 2. Why is the economy developed in the West?China is very poor now, what should we do? 3. According to international law, does anyone have the right to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries? 4. Please tell me the benefits of building a railway in Shandong. 5. How important is learning chemistry to agricultural development?

During the American Civil War, Lieutenant Robert called a meeting, and the meeting turned out to be a mess, which was worse than no meeting.Robert was so angry that he wrote a book on how to hold a good meeting - "Robert's Rules of Procedure".It is stipulated in the book: the meeting must have a moderator, and the moderator remains neutral. All presenters face the moderator and express their views and opinions within a limited time.It is forbidden to interrupt others, it is forbidden to criticize others, it is forbidden to argue with each other, and only talk about things but not people.

Tang Degang said: Columbia University's doctoral degree is super difficult to get.The school stipulates that the doctoral dissertation must be written into a book, and 100 copies will be handed over to the school after publication, and one book will not be given to graduation (now it is handed in microfilm).In his early years, Hu Shi studied in the Philosophy Department of Columbia University. His thesis was on Chinese philosophy, but his teacher could not understand it and refused to give him a diploma. Twelve years later, it was discovered that Hu Shi's thesis had become a model in Chinese academic circles, so Hu Shi's classmate 12 years ago gave him a doctoral cap.

The Tian Mu System of the Celestial Dynasty is an important document of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom era.There is a point of view that this system is super advanced, how is it an advanced method?According to the Tian Mu system, every family has five hens and two sows, and there is no time to lose it... It means that each family can only raise five hens and two sows, and no males are allowed.Why is it not allowed to adopt a father-in-law?If you don't raise roosters and pigs, where will the females come from?The tyrants don't care about these, but they hate the male species anyway. Diplomacy: Hong Xiuquan rose up and occupied Nanjing.Admiral He Bo of the British Navy went to Nanjing to find Hong Xiuquan, and discussed letting a British ship berth near Nanjing to protect British commercial interests.Hong Xiuquan delivered a decree: The heavenly father appears, and you are not allowed to do this.When the note came into the hands of Pacharley, Pacharley was furious and said: This spirit did not appear right, please manifest it again.Hong Xiuquan was forced to reissue the edict: Heavenly Father appeared again, allowing you to do this... Excerpted from "Gordon in China".

Hu Shih said (roughly speaking): The disadvantages of Chinese people’s academic pursuits are: first, they are quick and easy; second, they don’t pay attention to liberal arts;The reason for these three is that Chinese people are eager for quick success, not the process, but the result.The final result is that the academic world has two characteristics. One is that there is no self-esteem, and of course there is no self-esteem without thinking.The second is that there is no ability to import civilization, because technology is only the fruit of civilization, without cultivation, how can there be fruit?

Tell a story about Zhang Zuolin's employment.Zhang Zuolin had a chef who didn't buy a ticket on the train, but occupied the first-class box, and was pushed off the train by the railway law enforcement team.The chef was furious and revealed his identity, only to be beaten severely.The chef cried and went back to complain to Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin was furious and slapped the table: What's the name of the person who beat you?Some people call it Chang Yinhuai.Zhang Zuolin said: I just need such a stern and selfless person... Since then, Chang Yinhuai has been promoted many times. Speaking of our traditional culture: chivalrous men are always above the law.The rivers and lakes must be far beyond the law.People, the only way to reason is to stop the sedan chair and cry for injustice.Honest officials, if you want to get things done, you have to kill first and play later... In traditional culture, there is no fair court.It is a society where good people keep silent in the face of evil.This kind of social culture cultivates citizens who lack legal awareness and cannot cooperate. Everyone has to fight for themselves. Mr. Liang Shiqiu's "Queuing" article said: During the Anti-Japanese War, people did not queue up to buy tickets at the station.But after the Japanese occupied the station, order was restored.why?Because a Japanese soldier was patrolling back and forth with a whip, and when he saw someone jumping in line, he raised the whip and gave him a hard blow.Mr. Liang asked in grief and indignation: Do the Chinese really need such a whip? Wu Si analyzed Jin Yong's martial arts and said that there are four characteristics: 1. Grassroots origin. 2. Free from the law. 3. Don't worry about family chores. 4. The girls are chasing you like crazy... Finally, it is concluded that the martial arts dream is just a deformation of the emperor's dream, a rich fantasy of a lazy man with a sense of justice.Finally, Wu Si asked: Westerners fantasize about acquiring wealth, while our imagination focuses on the ability to do harm. Does this mean that we have not left our childhood? West Point Military Academy is a terrible place, and its elimination rate is as high as 60%. There are four principles of school governance in this school: One is the principle of elites. Both teachers and students choose the best.The second is innovative thinking, and there is nothing wrong with sticking to the rules.The third is the critical spirit, dare to deny.The most important thing is the fourth point: the honor system, whose criterion is not to lie, not steal, not to cheat, and does not tolerate the existence of such people... Can we use the four principles? Missing: Mei Zihan said: When I was a child, I seldom heard adults tell Chinese stories that suited me.Occasionally heard a few, but very few.I don't have a big land of Chinese stories in my heart, and I can't tell Chinese stories often, and I don't have the opportunity to often nurture emotions and grow in those stories.Later, when I became a writer, my heart was often empty, with a feeling of lack of water, lack of roads, lack of ethnicity, and lack of identity.
