Chapter 12 Talking about Young China (February 10, 1900)

The Japanese call me China, one is called the big empire, and the other is called the big empire.It is a language, and it is also a translation of the words of the Westerners.Alas!Is it really the boss of China?Liang Qichao said: Evil, what are you talking about!What are you talking about!There is a young China in my mind. If you want to talk about the old and young of the country, please speak first about the old and young: the old often think about the past, and the young often think about the future.Thinking only about the past gives birth to nostalgia; thinking only about the future gives birth to hope.Only nostalgia, so conservative; only hope, so aggressive.It is only conservative, so it is forever old; it is only aggressive, so it is new every day.Thinking about the past, everything is what you have already done, so you only know as usual; thinking about the future, everything is what you have never done, so you always dare to break the rules.Old people are often worried, while young people are often happy.There is only a lot of worry, so you are discouraged, but you are also happy, so you are full of energy.Only discouraged, so cowardly; only arrogant, so heroic.But cowardice is also, so lingering; only boldness is also, so take risks.Only by taking care of oneself can we destroy the world; only by taking risks can we create the world.Old people are often tired of things, but young people are often happy.I only hate things, so I often feel that there is nothing I can do; but good things, so I often feel that there is nothing I can't do.The elderly are like the sunset, the young are like the sun; the old are like barren cows, the young are like tigers; the old are like monks, the young are like chivalrous men; Like pour brandy; old people are like meteorites from other planets; young people are like coral islands in oceans and seas; old people are like pyramids in the desert of Egypt; young people are like the railway in Siberia; old people are like willows after autumn, and young people are like trees before spring. Grass; the elderly are like the pools of the Dead Sea, and the young are like the origin of the Yangtze River: this is the general difference in personality between the old and the young.

Liang Qichao said: It is inherent in people, so it should be in the country.Liang Qichao said: It's sad, boss!The pipa woman at the head of the Xunyang River, when the bright moon circles the boat, the maple leaves are rustling, and the quilt is cold on the iron, like a dream but not a dream, recalling the beauty of spring flowers and autumn moon in the dust of Luoyang; Sitting in five pairs, talking about the legacy of Kaiyuan and Tianbao, composing the melody of neon clothes and feathers; the melon growers in Qingmen, facing Ruren on the left, taking care of Ruzi, recalling the grand event of Houmen like sea pearls and shoes; Flying in the seclusion of Ceylon, with a few or two guards or good people who visited, they said that in those days, short swords and horses galloped through the Central Plains, swept across Europe, and fought bloody battles in the sea. , then caresses the thigh, and finally embraces the mirror.

Alas!The face is chapped and the teeth are gone, the white hair is full, and I am old.If one has nothing to worry about outside of depression, no heaven and earth outside of misery, no sun and moon outside of depression, no sound outside of sighing, no career outside of waiting for death, beauties and heroes, let alone the ordinary and mediocre yeah?Relatives and friends in life are all in the tombs, living and eating, waiting for orders, let’s live today, let alone know the future, let’s live this year, let alone next year, there is nothing more disheartening in the world than the boss.As for this person, he desires to use the means of taking clouds to return to heaven's work, and to grasp the spirit of mountains and seas, can it be possible?Alas!Is it really the boss of China?Standing today, it refers to the past, the three dynasties of Tang and Yu, how they were governed; how great were the emperors of Qin and Hanwu, how great were the heroes from the Han and Tang Dynasties, how prosperous was the literature from the Han and Tang Dynasties; What is praised by poets and chapter writers is that He Yifei is a relic of the beautiful scenery and joyful things in the youth of our country.Today, I am old and decrepit. I cut off five cities yesterday, and cut ten cities tomorrow. Everywhere, there are birds and dogs frightened. Is it so-called "the eldest married as a merchant's wife" for a slave of citizenship?Alas!According to Jun Mo's words, I can't bear to look at the old days, the haggard time, the prisoner of Chu is facing each other, looking at the shadow, the life is in danger, the day is not worrying about the night, the country is a country waiting for death, and the people of a country are people waiting for death. It's not surprising that everything is played by people.

Liang Qichao said: Is it the biggest fruit in China?It is also one of the big problems on the planet today.If it is the boss, it is China as the country of the past, that is to say, there was this country on the earth in the past, but now it is gradually disappearing, and its fate in the future is almost gone; if it is not the boss, it is China that is the country of the future, that is, the country on the earth This country did not appear in the past, but now it is gradually developed, and the future has a long way to go.Do you want to decide that today's China is the boss?For a teenager?Then we must first understand the meaning of the national character.What is the husband country?There is land; there are people; the people who live in the land rule the land they live in; they make their own laws and guard them, there is sovereignty, and there is obedience. Everyone is sovereign and everyone is subject.If this is the case, it is called a fully established country.There is no fully established country on earth, since a hundred years ago.Those who are fully established are the affairs of the middle-aged; those who are not fully established and gradually become fully established are the affairs of the young.Therefore, I can conclude in one sentence: European countries are today a country of adults, while China is a country of youth today.

China in ancient times, although it had the name of a country, did not have the shape of a country.It may be a country of families, or a country of chiefs, or a country of feudal feudal vassals, or a country of autocracy by one king. Although there are different types, it depends on the constitution of the country. department.Just as a baby develops from an embryo to a child, one of the two organs of the body grows first, and the other is that although the whole body is thick, it cannot be used.Therefore, before Tang and Yu was the age of embryos, during the Yin and Zhou dynasties it was the age of breastfeeding, from Confucius to today is the age of children, gradually developed, and now it is beginning to enter the realm of adults and above.If its growth is delayed, then the people and thieves of the past dynasties will suffocate its vitality.For example, he was sickly in childhood, turned into an old state, or suspected that his death was coming, but he didn't know that it was not completely established.It is not the past, but the future.

And in the past in my China, there was no country, but there was an imperial court.I, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, live together in a family, and have stood on this earth for thousands of years, but if you ask what the name of their country is, there is no such thing.Husband's so-called Tang, Yu, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing are all dynasty names.The dynasty is also the private property of the family; the state is the public property of the people.The court has the young and the old, the state owns the country, and the court and the country are different things, so it cannot be understood that the court is old and young and the country is old and young.Wen, Wu, Cheng, and Kang are the youth of the Zhou Dynasty; You, Li, Huan, and Nan are the old age.Gao, Wen, Jing, and Wu refer to the young age of the Han Dynasty; Yuan, Ping, Huan, and Ling refer to their old age.Since the rest of the dynasties, there has been no such thing. For those who are called the elders of a court, it is not acceptable to be called the elders of a country.A royal court is old and dead, just like a person is old and dead, what is the difference between what I call China.However, my Chinese people have not appeared in the world before, and now they are just beginning to sprout.The world is big, the future is bright, beautiful, my young China!

Mazzini is the leader of the three Italian masters.He was convicted of state affairs and fled to a foreign country. He was founded for a while and called Young Italy.The people of the whole country gathered together to respond to the surging clouds and mists, and the death was to restore the old things and make Italy one of the most powerful countries in Europe.Husband Italy, the oldest and largest country in Europe, since the fall of Rome, the land has been subordinated to the Pope, and the power has been transferred to the Austrian country. It is almost so-called old and on the verge of death, but it has a Mazzini, and it can hold the whole country and be young. What's more, I am actually a boy in China?In the land of more than four hundred prefectures, and the daunting citizens of more than four hundred trillion, how can there be no one like Mazzini.

There is a chapter in Gong Zizhen's collection of poems, titled "Neng Ling Gong's Youth Walk", I have loved reading it, and it is interesting to see its intention.The people of our country call themselves the boss of their country, and Siguo is the boss; the people of our country know themselves as the young people of their country, and Si is a young man.There is a Western proverb that says: "There is a man who is three years old, and there is a boy who is a hundred years old." However, the old and young in the country have no fixed shape, and they actually follow the people's will.I have seen that Mazzini can make the young people of the country, and I have seen that the officials and people of our country can make the bosses of the country, I am afraid of this!With such a majestic, rich, elegant and peerless young China, why do Oxi and Japanese call me the boss?Therefore, those who hold the power of the country are all old people.Decades of stereotyped writing, decades of writing in vain, decades of being poor, decades of salary, decades of manuscripts, decades of singing promises, decades of kowtow, If you ask for a few decades, you will definitely not be able to get an official position.Out of a hundred people, there are more than two ministers in the house and more than two supervisors in the outside. Ninety-six or seven of them are not equipped with five sense organs. If they are not blind, they will be deaf. .He eats, walks, sees, hears, and speaks, and is still unable to control himself. He needs three or four people to help him catch him, and he can survive the day. Here, he wants to blame him for state affairs. How different is it to set up countless puppets and make him rule the world.And those people, since they were young and strong, they don't know where Asia and Ouluo are, Han Zu and Tang Zong are the emperors of that dynasty; , cultivate him, wait until his brain is dry, his blood vessels are congested, his breath is dying, and he is next to ghosts, then put my 20,000 miles of mountains and rivers and 40 million lives into his hands in one fell swoop.Alas!The boss of the empire is indeed its boss.Those of that generation have accumulated dozens of years of stereotyped writing, vacancies, errands, salary, manuscripts, singing promises, kowtows, greetings, and all the hardships and hardships before they can get the clothes of the red-topped flower feathers. Color, Master Zhongtang's name, is his full energy, and he has exhausted his life's strength to maintain it.Just like that beggar who picks up an ingot of gold, even though the thunder is thundering and hovering on the top, his hands are still holding his purse tightly.Tell them here that the country will be subjugated and divided, and Bi Wu will listen to it, and Wu will believe it.Even if the fruit dies and the fruit is divided, and I am seventy or eighty this year, I hope that within a year or two, the foreigners will not come and the robbers will not be able to afford it. I have lived happily for a lifetime.If you have no other choice, cut off the land of three provinces and two provinces, congratulate you in exchange for a few of my yamen; sell three or several million people as servants and slaves to redeem my old life, what's wrong, what's so difficult manage.Alas!Today's so-called old queens, old officials, old generals, and old officials all have the means of self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace. "The west wind urges people to grow old overnight, and all their beauties are withered to the end." Making Wuchang become a doctor, and bringing a reminder to celebrate his birthday, it is so painful!Taking this as a country is to be able to die without old age, and I am afraid that it will die before it is old.

Liang Qichao said: Those who create today's big China are the injustice of China's old age; those who create a young China in the future are the responsibility of the young Chinese.What is the point of the old man, the day of saying goodbye to this world is not far away, and my young man is a newcomer to the world.Just like those who rent out the house, he will move to another place tomorrow, and I will enter this room today.Those who will be relocated don't take good care of their windows and slats, and don't keep their courtyards clean. It's no wonder that ordinary people are persistent.If I were a young man with a bright future and a vast future, and China was a cow, a horse, a slave, and a slave, then cooking and flogging would be cruel, but my youth would be like that; Then the honor of commanding Gu Pan is only enjoyed by my young man. What can I do with him who is dying and neighbors with ghosts?If he leaves it indifferently, it can still be said; if I leave it indifferently, it can't be said.If the young people of the whole country become young, then our China will be the country of the future, and its progress is immeasurable; stay also.Therefore, today's responsibility does not lie with others, but with my youth.If young people are wise, the country will be wise; if young people are rich, the country will be rich; if young people are strong, the country will be strong; if young people are independent, the country will be independent; if young people are free, the country will be free; The country is the hero of the earth.When the red sun rises, its way is bright; the river flows out and flows down into the ocean.The dragon dives into the abyss, and the scales and claws fly; the breast tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts tremble.Falcons try their wings, and the wind and dust suck it up; strange flowers are born for the first time, and they are so arrogant.Go-getters send out their horns, and they have their awns.The sky wears its blue, and the earth wears its yellow.Even though there are thousands of years, there are eight wastelands.The future is like the sea, and the future is long.Beautiful my young China, not as old as the sky; strong my Chinese youth, boundless with the country!

"Thirty fame and dust, eight thousand miles of road, cloud and moon. Don't wait for the boy's head to turn white, empty and sad." This Yue Wumu's "Man Jianghong" is also the words and sentences of Yue Wumu. The author has memorized it since he was six years old and loves to recite it until now Enduring.From now on, he abandoned the name of mourning time guest, and changed his name to the boy of young China.Author attached.
