Chapter 47 Condemnation Words (June 20, 1915)

Woohoo, the negotiations between China and Japan have now been settled peacefully. Let us try to calm down and discuss the matter as it stands, but we don't want to point the finger at the government with irresponsible words.When Gai Dang's family was not finished, he was hit by wind and rain. No matter who was here, he had to take the opportunity to resist insults.Respecting Zu Zhechong, his skills stop at this number, and he is responsible for the incompetence of the government's diplomacy.Or say: Why don't you bet on a war to resist?It seems like such a rambunctious rhetoric, but the principle cannot.In fact, in today's China, why do you think it is a tool of war?It is said that it is better to have broken jade than broken tiles, and to break the husband's ears, and it is better to try and get lucky?Those who are afraid to use this theory will return to the truth of every square inch, and may not be able to lead to a decision, but they are only confronting the matter with their own injustice, so they are not afraid to make big words to arouse people's spirits.It is said that it is sincere and reasonable, but I dare not accept it.But if he gathers grievances among strong neighbors and scolds to vent his anger, Zeng Yisi thinks that under the power, there is justice?Let me and the other party change places, and we are willing to escape this once-in-a-thousand-year meeting, isn't it a plan to attack ignorance with both the weak and the weak?We human beings, for the sake of appetite, cook lambs and chickens, and sacrifice chickens; lambs and chickens, Ningfu has the right to compete with me?That is to say, the school, how can I feel sorry?It's just noise and gossip.Therefore, when discussing the past, there is nothing to say about everything. Blaming the government is boring blame;As for the peaceful settlement, since the beginning of the negotiation, both of us have already expected that the result will come from this way, and the price of peace is so important.Is the price of peace this time light?Why is it important?Is the price I can afford?No?This should be judged by our government and our people according to their own conscience and common sense.If you have to force me to say something, then I say that in the negotiations in April, my government has done its best to serve the country with sincerity, which cannot be falsely accused; Fifty steps are of no help to the fundamental remedy for the survival of the country.

The retort is already broken, so what is the benefit of it? This is another righteousness;What we should talk about today is not talking about the past, but talking about the future.I have nothing to blame for the past affairs of the government.What I am most afraid of is that the government may be able to claim credit for the peaceful settlement, saying that it is still safe and sound after the huge torrential rain and wind, breaking the boat and breaking the sails. Then from now on, our little fellows really don't know where to die!Husband, I dare to treat others with an unworthy heart. My government is not mad and heartless. Forgive me for not harming the country or benefiting the country. I am proud of myself.Although, with a cold eye and silent candle, I have seen that most of my husbands are dependent on the treasury, and I have heard the sound of a peaceful settlement, and all of them have stolen their foreheads and hands to celebrate. Although they are still saying indignant words, their selfishness is really gratifying. .It is the same with the people.Given the status of the Chinese people today, they are powerless to influence the state of the country. The so-called majority public opinion and the so-called national psychology are not so important in their essence.However, the so-called public opinion and the so-called psychology have extremely weak foundations, and they cannot have the appearance of a definite continuation.A small number of youths who are full of vigor are stimulated by the concept of national humiliation, and it is easy to experience grief and indignation, and their thoughts are self-effective;If there is no way to nourish its qi, it will be safe and stable over time without being deflated.From the rest of the people who practice the gu, the people who talk about it, most of them use the capacity of righteous indignation to cater to the society, and the words they irritate the public are first of all insincere and nothing.Woohoo, it's not that I like to be jealous, I stole the idea of ​​a peaceful settlement, because of private interests in the whole country, eight out of ten people sincerely welcome it; and what is the price of peace for the country? Not enough grudges in the chest.If peace can be sustained, then after three months or so, the Sino-Japanese negotiations will not only be on the cheeks of the people of the world, but will never stop touching the souls of the people of the world.Alas!I really hope that I missed what I said, although I am afraid that I will not be so lucky in the end.

Alas, if the dream of peace can last for a long time, we will be happy; if the price of peace is only this, we will still bear it.Although, the situation is not necessarily mediocre.Although the discussion on the most stringent items of Japan's requirements has been postponed today, they have not been withdrawn. They are only temporarily removed from the scope of this negotiation in the name of handling another case.According to this name, Japan's continuous demands at any time can no longer be regarded as a legitimate right.This girl doesn't know.In fact, in international negotiations, power is the only thing to see. Whether the rights are legitimate or not is no longer a problem.Now I ask, is there any legitimate right to rely on beforehand?And the result is both.How can people be afraid of repeated blasphemy by calling it one!But even if the European War is not over for a day, every moment will be an opportunity for Japan to make a big splash.Even if the war in Europe ends, but if the balance of power is broken because of this, then my barriers, let alone my parents!And even if the balance of power has not been broken, and if it is ruined, who will have the strength to look east to defend our Muyu!Therefore, for humans, there is room for leisurely progress every day, but for me, there is no size that can be used as a fund for returning babies. This is still a statement for a country.If the rest of the prestige of other countries can still be respected by this country, then my hidden worry may be even greater.Those who cover my big money in this country will be compensated by other countries as much as they are.Cutting one's arms to serve an eagle, sacrificing one's body to feed a tiger, the falcons and tigers gather together, how much flesh and blood are there?Following this thought, our country today is just like sailing in a lone boat going back to the beach, where the beaches are connected to each other, and the more you go back, the more dangerous you go.Now that the beach has just passed, the sails have been torn and the oars have been broken. Fortunately, the whole boat has not been smashed, and the people in the boat are rushing to congratulate each other, saying that they will be reborn, and they are lucky.Is it easy to find?Alas!Those who comfort each other with a peaceful solution, would like to think about it later.

two Are the Chinese still patriotic?Do the Chinese still have the ability to rule their own country?I brazenly asked this strange question, and I knew that the people of the country would gather and spit in my face.But according to today's phenomenon, it is impossible to doubt at the end of the day.I also believe that these two things are not inherent in the conscience and energy of our people, but today they have been choked and destroyed, and there is almost no place for them to grow again.Every time I read this, Gai shudders.It means patriotism, the word "patriotism" has been used as a mantra by the ruling and opposition parties for ten years.If there is no public or private matter, it is said that it is for the sake of the country; if there is no virtuous person, it is said that the country is the premise.In fact, when national interests are slightly incompatible with private interests, then what is the state!

The enemy's foreign aggression is the most sufficient to promote the development of the concept of the country, and this is the constant love of life.Over the past few years in our country, it is better to be hurt than to recover, and to suffer pain is better to recover, so that the instinct of patriotism has not been exhausted. It's the opposite if the day dies and the day shrinks.Those who see a little distance know that the people and the country are indifferent to each other, and the country will eventually be unlucky, and they will seek to rise up and become affiliated with it every day.Even the proclamations and orders of the government follow the tone of the newspaper, imitating the tone of the orator, impassioned, and blaming everyone with the righteousness of love.But what about the listeners of the people?Those who are not bloody and unconscious are just like the wind, pass by without staying, and don't listen to them; those who are slightly bloody and conscious will turn their lips back and question each other, and those who speak will be unable to complete themselves.In this way, I have seen people who are embarrassed by others repeatedly.I advised the guest to be patriotic, and the guest said: My son’s words to love the country, don’t you think that China is the China of the Chinese, and it is better not to let other countries be cut off and ruled?Yu said: Yes.The guest said: If we are not ruled by other countries, our people will no longer have the right to participate in the political power, and all politics are beyond the control of our people; Forever?Yu said: Yes.The guest said: China today is still the China of the Chinese people, and it is not ruled by people from other countries, but have our people ever had participation in political power?Have our people ever had the opportunity to practice their political knowledge and develop their political abilities?For subjugated people like Indians and Poles, there are still local councils, and the people still have to judge and deal with their own interests.Our people do not have this and cannot do it. I don't know why having a country is better than having no country?Yu Tan was helpless.The guest said: Isn't it true that if we are ruled by other countries, our people will not be protected by equal laws, and life and property will always suffer?Yu said: Yes.The guest said: China today is still the China of the Chinese people, and it is not ruled by people from other countries, but was there ever a law that protected my life and property?Can the so-called law protect my life and property?For the people of the subjugated country, although the laws they are governed by are not the same as those of the previous country, there is no law at the beginning;Today, this is not the case, and I don't know why having a country is better than having no country?I can't respond.The guest also said: Don't you think that being ruled by other countries will not count what our people can bear in terms of finances, but only take profits; for all industries, it will also give privileges to other families, And our people's way of food and clothing is cut down and oppressed, and they cannot make progress on their own. If we follow this for a while, the whole country will be exhausted?Today's China is still the China of the Chinese people, and it has never been ruled by people from other countries, but what is the result of our people being suppressed by officials?The tax that the country is providing is really meager, but the people who cultivate and dig into our land always feel that it is not as suitable as being heavily collected by the concession.Private production can only be destroyed without protection. On the contrary, it is better for overseas Chinese to live in peace and enjoy their work.I don't know why a country is better than a country without a country?Yu You was stunned and unable to respond.The guest also said: If you are not ruled by other countries, then people will only be fooled by our people and no longer receive higher education, and our descendants will be as stupid as deer hogs forever, and there is no way to cheer themselves up?Today's China is still the China of the Chinese people, and it is not ruled by people from other countries. How can the so-called higher education be safe?How can it be that only higher education is combined with general education and will be wiped out.I don't know why a country is better than a country without a country?Yu You was stunned and unable to respond.If this makes the guest different from his words, it will be difficult to do dozens of things like this, and I will be stunned and unable to respond to them one by one.Although the words of the husband and guest are said to be deviant and not strange, but the facts are already here, and the psychology of the majority will coincide with it unexpectedly.Alas!I saw that out of ten out of ten out of ten people who thought this way, my husband dared not question me.

In general, the meaning of patriotism is something that everyone knows without learning, and can do it without thinking about it.If the citizens don't love their country, they will put their country in an unlovable place.For example, who doesn't love his body, but when the pain is extreme, there are people who pray for a speedy death.He would rather not know that death is suffering, but since he no longer realizes the pleasure of life, and thinks that filling the amount of suffering of death is only equal to life, he chooses life and death.Who doesn't love his family, but those who have hidden pain in the court and boudoir often escape and don't look back. It's just saying that there is a choice between having a home and having a home. It is true that the suffering of having a home is not as good as the opposite of having a home. For fun too.People rely on this country, the reason why the blood of ancestors has continued for thousands of years, the house where the tombs live, the place where porridge, singing and crying rely on, and the parents of wives and children.What's more, the people of our country have a strong sense of family and nostalgia for the soil. They use the school to teach other people, and they are strong. If they talk about patriotism, they should not be taught vigorously.However, our people are known all over the world as being unpatriotic. How can it be that our people are so unworthy?The reason why Bi Gai Qiuguo is lovable is not available, so even if he wants to use his love forcibly, he cannot obtain it.Mencius said: "Father and son don't blame the good, and if they blame the good, they will separate, and if they leave, there will be no good luck." The sky is in harmony, and sometimes the sky cannot be combined by force, just like this, let alone when the government and the people are in harmony with each other?In the past, the lord of the autocracy, why didn't he have his so-called patriotic righteousness to blame the people, and he said: "Eat hair and practice the soil, you have a good conscience." Public grievances.Today's government urges the people to love the country, but how much is it different from the other?The general said: If the country should be loved, then those who love it should start from the time when they are in charge.Whether the current Dao Yousi regards the country's welfare as a solidarity, but Gu Nai blames our people.Baptizing our people and really losing their patriotic sincerity, do you know that they will be used by the officials in power for their own selfishness?Woohoo, it's not a lie of the people!

From the difficulties of Jiawu and Gengzi to the present day, the mobilization of our people's patriotism and its manifestation in facts can hardly be counted.After all, it is even four or three who are used by cunning party members, and even six or seven who are used by despicable officials.The so-called patriotic donations, the so-called national donations, the so-called patriotic bonds and some other types of public bonds, the so-called cancellation of a certain mine contract, and the redemption of shares by a certain road. Is there any result that can make people feel complacent?How much of a person's true disposition can be, and the husband's safety can't be overwhelmed.For example, virgins, who originally embrace the most pure love, if they go crazy and misunderstand several times, will their true nature be safe and not perish?People in our country take patriotism as their mantra, but it is not a strange thing to look at each other calmly. Couldn't it be the reason?I hope my government will stop blaming the good people with weeping words.Those who cry bitterly are the career of scholars, and the ears of newcomers.If you hold the country's great destiny in your hands and act when the opportunity arises, you don't need to hold on to passers-by to ask for their mutual understanding when the situation is difficult, but if you accumulate sincerity and support each other, then those who respond to you must be appropriate.On the other hand, even though Chen Yi is eloquent and swears, the people will listen to him with eyes and ears.I don’t see my husband before Qing Ye, every time after a catastrophe, there are countless proclamations of fear and strength, hoping to cover the eyes and ears of the world, (Remember that there is a saying in the previous Qing Dynasty: “On the day of great pain and deep wounds, we will It’s time for my ruler and ministers to taste their guts.” Such proclamations are not uncommon.) However, what are their effects?There is a saying in the past: "Respond to the sky with the facts and not with the words."The government still wants to share the country with the people of the whole country, and the government knows that unless the country is shared with the people of the whole country, the country will not be able to stand. The heart of joy in life, the common people will no longer have the relatives of "the time will be mourned, and you will die together";Since the state and the people's welfare are consistent, the people's patriotism is also their nature, so why should we be persuaded?Otherwise, advise Yan Xiji?

Alas!The government also knows that the vast majority of the people are eager to take care of their shadows, wondering when they will judge their fate.He told me I didn't dare to know, I just came from my hometown of Guangdong, and after hearing what my fathers, elders, and brothers said, I almost no longer know what happened in the world.Officials, sergeants, and thieves tortured and oppressed them.The shrewd and ruthless people of the people either seek camps to become officials or soldiers, or they take the lead and surrender to thieves, and then torture others with poison; , Ze Xian whispered and said: "The death will go to you, suitable for the Lejiao."Hong Kong, Macau, Qingdao, and even the treaty ports, so those who tend to go together like water, don’t think about it, just saving lives.Madam is afraid that she will not be able to save her life, but she wants to blame her patriotism, in order to ensure her safety?However, our people cherish the motherland, and every time the country is humiliated, righteous indignation surges, and it is still the same. Even old women, young girls, traffickers, and beggars, when they hear of national disasters, show righteousness in color, lose money and serve their lives, fearing what will happen later.With such a political image, you can still win the hearts of such people. The most patriotic people in the Gap world are the Chinese!Woohoo, this is the vitality of the true country, and the life of the country on the front line is also used to support it.Its successor grows higher, it is today;The choice between the two depends on the direction of the government.There is absolutely no human kindness in the world for a husband who calls the government and wants to destroy the sprouts of the people's patriotism.Of course, if the political image remains unchanged, the hearts of the people's parents and the country will perish within a short period of time.If it is even worse, the government may take advantage of the simplicity and ignorance of the people to make things easy, take advantage of their patriotism, and steal their wealth and strength by tricks, in order to make a small profit for a while without paying attention to the future, and their losses will be ruined. Those who are destroyed will never be restored.Oh, the government, it doesn't make me sad to say it.

Alas!The matter of negotiation is a thing of the past, no matter how hard the government is, the result is so safe that it is not humiliating!Why do you get this humiliation?It must be true, the soldiers of the whole country are in the millions, and the country's annual expenditures are spent on military expenditures, even seven or eight, so why does it mean that there is no soldier?Why do you have no weapons?And given the vastness of China's territory and wealth of material resources, the finances are so embarrassing every day?For such a superficial matter, if the people do not hold the government accountable, who will ask?The reason why the Husband’s government escaped responsibility also has a word, it must be said that the catastrophe is at the beginning of peace, there is no time to give, the vitality has not recovered, and it is difficult to see the immediate effect.I know that the people talk about everything with a little peace of mind, but it can't be used as an excuse for the government in the first place.What Gu Wumin is most worried about and worried about is not the gains and losses of the previous statements, but the presence or absence of hope in the future.It is impossible to fight today, but will there be a time when we can fight in the future?Insufficient equipment, is there a way to make it sufficient?If wealth does not continue, is there a way to make it continue?Soldiers, weapons, and wealth, can they stand on their own without other government?If other governments do not act, will this number have a period of effectiveness?As for all the important affairs, can it be said that they have been carried out today, or can they be said to be carried out gradually?Can all the reforms be consistent with the interests of the country and the interests of the people?Following this past, can the political image be better than before?For all these problems, An De didn't ask the government to blame them one by one?Our people are unlucky enough to have today, and the fruits we reap today are the causes of what we planted before, and our people can forgive us for today's government.Can our people still have a future?The cause of what is sown today will eventually reap the fruit in the future. If it is not good, our people cannot forgive it for today's government.Woohoo the government, it's good at thinking, so it's in its own right.

three But the government is the only one to blame?He said: Evil, what are you saying?No matter who lives in the government, the people who want it are all the Chinese people.A bad government can only be produced by a bad people; a good government can only be produced by a good people.Are the people of our country kind or not?I dare to answer directly: Most of the people with low status are almost always kind; the few people with superior status are almost always not kind.Therefore, who will maintain China's glimmer of hope in the future?Then the people who are the most weary and the most upright are their own people; and this glimmer of hope, who will ruin it?It is like the so-called scholar-bureaucrats of my generation are their own people (referring to people in the world's upper and middle societies).The fate of a country depends entirely on the scholar-bureaucrats. This is true in the history of our country, and the phenomenon of conquering all countries in the world is also true.Covering the so-called scholar-bureaucrats, all state organs who hold public positions draw materials from this, and even all the vital resources in society are divided, so not only their actions can directly cause waves, but their sexual habits are also established.How can it be necessary to travel far, even if Japan is the most exciting place in our minds today, how could there be a benevolent government decades ago?And a few of the literati and bureaucrats can master their minds and sharpen their artistic skills. If they are immersed in the fake, the public office of the country has to come from this; The atmosphere of the whole society is spread by all, and the mutual attraction grows, and the fire spreads endlessly.So far, I have been able to give up three small islands, and I can't dare anyone!What about me?The scholar-bureaucrats of the past planted very evil causes to cause harm to today, and today's scholar-bureaucrats plant even more evil causes to harm all directions.In a bureaucratic country, everyone is sick.Who is the bureaucrat?Scholar-bureaucrats too.The party members are sick of the country, and everyone gnashes their teeth.Who is the party member?Scholar-bureaucrats too.How can the country set up officials?The position is just a scholar-bureaucrat; what is the country doing for money?It's just raising scholars and bureaucrats.Scholar-bureaucrats have no expertise in learning, no specialty in everything, know everything but know everything, can do nothing but can't do everything. It is said that this group of scholar-bureaucrats is unusable, and it is easier to use a group of them. They are unusable as before.Those who persuade the common people to be patriotic are the scholar-bureaucrats; those who regard the country's dangers as indifferent and indifferent are the scholar-bureaucrats, and those who use the patriotism of the common people as a way to make progress and earn money for themselves are also the scholar-bureaucrats. .All kinds of social undertakings are not monopolized by non-scholar-bureaucrats; all kinds of social undertakings are destroyed by scholar-officials.The power of scholar-bureaucrats can make people fearful, so there is no need to correct their faults to drive them away; the status of scholar-bureaucrats can be envied by others, so they practice their skills in order to support them.Alas!Isn't it the Great Plains where the country's affairs are corrupted today?With such a person as the backbone of the society, whoever talks about the consolidation of the army will be the one who organizes, whoever talks about financial management will be the one who is reasonable, whoever talks about persuading the industry will be the one who persuades, whoever talks about the promotion of learning will be the one who prospers, whoever talks about the parliament is the political party, and whoever talks about self-government is the party. Gentleman?Therefore, all the good laws and good intentions of all countries in the East and West will become a cluster of all kinds of harm once they enter our country.If we follow this past, there will never be a time for today's shame, and we are afraid that those who follow will come and die again and again.Ever since, it is doubtful whether the Chinese still have the ability to rule their own country.

Alas!Those of us who call ourselves scholar-bureaucrats, don’t blame the government, the government is nothing more than a product of our generation; don’t make excuses for ordinary citizens, ordinary citizens are the kindest citizens, and they are not ashamed to teach other countries. It's just for sin.Today I want to sprinkle the national humiliation, it is in our generation to renew.From the perspective of my generation, then the state affairs began to have something to do, and then I could talk about the gains and losses of things and the order of their priorities, and then I could stay inside and seek protection from outside.Otherwise, there is no need for external troubles, and I will eventually die and die.Husband and I have too many people in our generation. If you want to exhaust others and start a new life, you will be able to tell the truth. I don’t ask others, just ask me!Si Naizhen Gu Tinglin also said that "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world".
