Chapter 68 Letter to Cai Yuanpei[1]

(September 22, 1936) About Mr. Zhimin: During the May 4th Movement, Peking University classrooms, gatherings in old Beijing, lectures in Xiangcheng, Mr. Shu Ling's advocating and grand discussions, it has been 20 years! What date is it today? The day when the nation-state survives and dies.The old people are like the generation of Mr. Mao, the middle-aged people are like the generation of Mao Zedong, and the young people are the students of today. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, regardless of industry, agriculture, business and education, and regardless of beliefs and respects, they will fall into the hands of foreign invaders. Restoring my rivers and mountains, the people will not be my people, and my city walls will not be my city walls. The so-called subjugation of the country and the destruction of the species are unparalleled in the past. How will you do this? It must also be said that it is feasible, and the princes who are alone in power may say that it is not feasible, or that they must slow down, steal the door without rejecting it, tigers devour people without fighting, and lead the whole country into insensitivity and suffocation. Mr. Sun Yat-sen's policy of uniting Russia, the Communist Party, and agriculture and industry was effective during the first great revolution from 1925 to 1927. During the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, it was also effective. That is the most revolutionary period of the Kuomintang.The destruction of Mr. Sun's revolutionary policy has led to the continuous civil war, and the turmoil of foreign aggression is overwhelming! August 25th, the Communist Party sent a letter to the Kuomintang[2], although the old policy was reintroduced, it is actually the key to saving the nation. As far as the plan is concerned, what will you do here? After reading the "New Text Opinions", it is impressively listed as the first one, sir.Twenty years later, I suddenly saw my respected and beloved Mr. Limin, who published a brand-new discussion that is completely different from the old and new die-hard parties. Sir, you should know that I am not the only one who rejoices when I see it, and it is definitely not just the Communist Party. It must be countless people! From comrades to friends who say that Mr. sympathizes with the cause of resisting Japan and saving the country, I am not the only one who rejoices when I hear it, and I am definitely not the only one who is the Communist Party. There is no doubt that I will be the honest sons and daughters of the whole nation.However, we have made great strides and made further progress. Upholding this righteousness, we will rise up and take the lead. With the national giants of the Restoration Society and the Tongmenghui, and the academic leaders of Peking University and Academia Sinica, when the nation is in peril, they will make a plan to turn the tide, not only Sit down and act, not only sympathize, but also advocate, denounce the Nanjing authorities to immediately stop the civil war, abandon its wrong policy of conceding externally and demanding internally, abolishing its subjugation policy of patriotism, crime, traitor and reward, mobilize the whole country, army, army and air force, implement The real anti-Japanese war, restore the revolutionary Three Principles of the People and the spirit of the three major policies of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, save 450 million compatriots from dire straits, convene the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Congress of all parties, factions, walks of life and armies, and convene the National Congress elected by the people , establish a national defense government that unifies the outside world, and establish a true democratic republic, so that the country will be prosperous and prosperous, and the nation will be placed in a forest of freedom and liberation.If so, then the master will surely shine for all ages, leave a fragrance for thousands of generations, buy silk and compete for embroidery, spread to people all over the country, post it by post, and spread it in the mouths of the whole people.Sir, will the people who have listened to the teaching thousands of miles away reduce their joy a little bit and increase it even more to the point of infinity?
