Chapter 58 Remarks: Tokyo Telecom (Og-kun)

Indeed, we should be thankful, it is willing to generously use the words "Republic of China" this time, which seems to be extremely novel and ridiculous; in the lower right corner of the seventh page of "Asahi Shimbun" the morning before yesterday, "Republic of China" Under the title of the "Double Ten Festival Lecture Meeting", there is a paragraph like this: "October 10, called Double Ten Day, is the revolutionary anniversary of the Republic of China. This year, due to the success of the National Revolution, the great cause of reunification has been completed. In Yokohama, Tokyo, The people of the Republic of China will hold a grand celebration. Hosted by the Chinese Embassy, ​​the Overseas Student Supervision Office and the powerful people of the Republic of China, a congratulatory lecture will be held at the Qingshan Hall from 1:00 pm today, and a commemorative drama will be held in the evening. meeting."

All schools had been notified by the supervisory office in advance, and all the international students had a day off.Now that the revolution has succeeded and the country has been unified, this year's Double Tenth Day cannot but be celebrated.What's more, these celebrities and powerful people have fully prepared for us, and of course we should not give up the cheapest and unconditional right to enjoy it. After sitting on the tram for a full hour, I saw this splendid venue!Red and green paper slogans are plastered all over the wall, it is indeed dazzling, look, ... long live, ... long live, long live everywhere, and look again, only in that corner, on the wall behind all the audience Interspersed among the many "long live" is this sentence: "Celebrate Double Tenth and don't forget the imperialism that hinders the revolution".What twists and turns of the wording!It is no wonder that in every Japanese book that discusses China affairs, no matter whether it is good intentions or malicious, it is written that the Chinese people have diplomatic genius.O diplomatic genius!Yes, bluntly saying "down with imperialism" loses the essence of diplomatic rhetoric, and it will hurt the feelings of friendly countries. Naturally, it should be slightly ambiguous and say "don't forget".As for whether the revolution was to overthrow imperialism or the word "imperialism" was secretly written down because the revolution was thwarted, of course there is no need to ask - and it is also something that unknown and powerless young people of our generation should not ask. or.

The speakers are probably those famous and powerful people.One by one, the...representatives,...representatives each played out their big arguments—some couldn't hear them, and some just heard their voices and didn't know what they were talking about.Dresses, western clothes, military uniforms and school uniforms appear on the stage alternately, no, they are displayed.The celebrity slapped his fist on the table, and the chairman alertly led the crowd to applaud like firecrackers; the celebrity stomped his feet, and the crowd guessed that this was the "style" that a celebrity should have when making a bitter speech. No more hints from the chairman, just clapping together-it is a great joy that the popular movement has automatically and without foresight guidance, so our celebrity walked off the stage contentedly.

From the back of the venue, I saw through the thick smoke the podium like a cloud. Celebrities and powerful people floated on the stage like gods, and the disciples of the gods also followed on the stage. Floating to and fro.I'm so guilty, when I saw these immortals, I couldn't help but recall the wooden puppet show I loved to watch in my hometown; the puppets really seemed to have spirituality and were very lively on the stage. Playing the flute, playing all kinds of out-of-tune coloraturas.This seemingly unreasonable memory made me feel a little bit fond of these celebrities and powerful people who were making speeches and rushing around in a hurry, and I also applauded them intentionally or unconsciously.

In the solidarity of all the people, the meeting ended with speeches and slogans.Before the end of the meeting, a celebrity reported: The funfair started at five o'clock, and many ladies were invited to dance for us!Ladies, dance and "give us", naturally, the people are overjoyed, and can't help but thank this celebrity who "has fun with the people" from the bottom of their hearts. five o'clock!People are more and more enthusiastic to participate.Soon, the guest lounge next to the stage was full of beautiful boys with red lips and white teeth and ladies surrounded by pearls and emerald greens.It was the same celebrity who began to walk around the stage to report that he had been elected as the Minister of Entertainment and how he had prepared for tonight’s entertainment; this time, the crowd was more lively and alert than in the afternoon, and they continued to applaud him in return. Hong En.

The celebrity walk stops, and the fun begins.In order to express the culture of our country for thousands of years, the first performance is the leather reed a cappella, and the "lady" that the celebrity especially emphasizes in the report is on the stage at this time.On the carpet, there is a 90-degree black patent leather shoes and white stockings. A slender body wrapped in a black shiny short cheongsam is swaying from side to side, and a white silk scarf is wrapped around the neck. The face and the black hair covered with countless sparkling diamonds, the eyeballs cast a bright line of sight up, down, left, and right with the swing of the body—in short, the whole body is bright, just like writers describe in novels glowing heroine.Among the crowd, the students watched as if they didn't care that their eyeballs would burst out, and the Chinese workers looked at each other and smiled.The entire audience was even more silent than the three minutes of silence before the lecture, only the huqin on the lap of the boy in the suit dared to make a small sound following the singing voice of the bright lady.Whenever she had just finished singing a line and Huqin breathed out a little, the crowd burst into earth-shattering applause.After the singing, the people still tried their best to applaud and demand to sing again, as if snowflakes were shot out from each hand, like the urgent telegram of "ladies don't come out, like the people in the world"; Also, the lady was specially invited to play the piano and sing Duan Xigong Ci by herself - so that the public really knew the versatility of this lady.

Next came the so-called buffoons, played by the men.Incomprehensible, there are three or four before and after.I am really ashamed to look through "Ciyuan" to find the most despicable word to describe the content of this so-called farce.I seem to only see a group of ghosts dancing there; Miyazaki Ryusuke and other revolutionary ancestors sitting by the stage can only help these newly awakened revolutionary youths with wry smiles; The Japanese people looking out of the doors and windows are admiring the art of this great China beyond human appreciation with surprised eyes; the patrolman with a short knife sits aside and sneers with his lips under his mustache.

However, the reason why this is called a farce is probably because there are other so-called serious dramatists.I have no time to report the content of this drama; but their most gratifying last scene cannot be obliterated.In that final scene they were going to stage a National Assembly to execute a warlord.From this you can guess how clever they were, to think of such an opportunity as adding several big speeches.Look at the majesty of that speaker!Throwing fists, stomping feet, suddenly squatting down, and suddenly jumping up like a spring with a long cry; standing still, squatting down again after the applause, and jumping up with a long cry.So: crouch down, shout, jump, clap, jump, clap—the hands of the audience become elastic along with the body of the speaker.

Finally, there was the second point of "dancing" that the entertainment minister who walked squarely emphasized. Sure enough, dancing was warmly welcomed by the people.The entertainment minister is full of ambition after setting the scene, and his big plan of "having fun with the people" has been completed. At eleven o'clock, the meeting is over.The people chanted: "Ladies, dance, give us; diamonds, singing voices, swinging bodies and eyes; spring people who can shout..." So the conclusion is that Chinese culture can be carried forward overseas, and celebrities and powerful people The greatness of the earth... grand occasion, grand occasion!

It's been a year since traveling to the East, and I don't have any gifts for you, so I wish you well.Mr. Ogre.October 12th, seventeen years.

"Proletariat", a transliteration of English Prole-tariat, means the proletariat. [3] Fangwu will be "dismissed" by Fangwu, that is, Fangwu, a native of Xinhua, Hunan, and one of the main members of the Creation Society.In February 1928, he published the article "Send Them" in the second issue of "Cultural Criticism", saying: "In the field of literature and art, all drugs that anesthetize our social consciousness and songs that praise our enemies Check out the words, return them to the writers, and send them to go together."
