Chapter 79 79. Lu Yizheng's Lost

■Yang Xikun, the KMT's ambassador to South Africa, admired you and brought back an elephant tusk from South Africa as a present for you.what do you think of him □He was a senior diplomat of the Kuomintang all his life, but he was actually very confused.He ate alone with me again and again in his later years.Eightieth birthday asked me to sit with him.During that meal, besides Mrs. Yang and Qi Fengyu, Mrs. Lu Yizheng was also present. Lu Yizheng was succeeding Yang Xikun as ambassador in South Africa. ■Is Lu Yizheng not confused? □ Of course confused.But it would be more correct to say lost.Look at his autobiography "Weak Ministers Can't Recover Heaven", he wrote:

My feelings for the mainland cannot be described as complex.Despite half a century of estrangement, I still have far more relatives and friends in mainland China than in Taiwan or the United States.I have worked all my life to fight for the proper status of the Republic of China. What I am against is only the communist system and has nothing to do with the people of the mainland. In fact, Lu Yizheng's wishful thinking is unreasonable.How can you cut out the "mainland people"?In fact, this is simply impossible.Lu Yizheng said that he "worked all his life to fight for the rightful status of the Republic of China." This is a collective mistake shared by Lu Yizheng and tens of thousands of people, including Long Yingtai.

■Long Yingtai wrote this book and likes to do interviews, so he should interview Lu Yizheng, right? Before and after "Great Rivers and Seas 1949", Lu Yizheng worked as a reporter for the Kuomintang "Dagang Daily" and as an interpreter in the Korean battlefield under the control of the United States. Later, he followed the Chiang Kai-shek regime all the way, and finally became an ambassador to South Africa. For his Republic of China And Lee Teng-hui, who illegally bribed South African party and government officials, such an upright official who specializes in doing dirty things for the Kuomintang, is too representative. Why didn't Long Yingtai visit?

□Why visit?I can't ask why.In the book "A Year of Hope", Lu Yi used "I Read" as the title, and he had already expressed his heart to Long Yingtai.Lu Yizheng said: "I once said at the press conference that Long Yingtai took out this new book from the bottom of her heart. If I were asked again today, I would say, 'This is a good book that can still be read a hundred years later. '." "Even if I went back to sixty-three years ago, when I was a reporter for Nanjing's "Dagang Daily" and covered the news of the Kuomintang-Communist peace talks and the constitutional National Assembly, I would not be ashamed to say that I would not be like Long Yingtai. The news perseveres in its pursuit to the end, and it will never stop until it finds an interviewee.” Lu Yizheng didn’t know that the condition for a good book is that if interviews are used, it’s good that you never stop until you find an interviewee, but “Da Jiang How many people have died on such a big topic as the sea, how can interviews alone be enough?What's more, Long Yingtai's interviewees are "little coffee", so how can he know the height, breadth, and depth?Can Long Yingtai interview Chiang Kai-shek?Therefore, even for "big coffee", it depends on information and historical materials.However, Long Yingtai read too few books.Lu Yizheng said that what Long Yingtai "wanted to describe was the true appearance of that chaotic era, and had nothing to do with beliefs or doctrines, parties or individuals, favors or hatred, pain or hope."Lu Yizheng was wrong. What Long Yingtai did was "directly related", and what she wrote was too far away from the "true appearance of that chaotic era".For example, she and Lu Yizheng were confused about the definition of the so-called "Republic of China".Of course, they are not the only ones who are confused, and the KMT literati are without exception.

■ Give an example of a "big coffee". □Like Kuomintang literati Yu Yingshi.
