Chapter 10 Liang Rengong’s Painful Words on the Current Situation——Legal Bankruptcy Represents Political Bankruptcy (January 1923)

Liang Rengongxin returned from giving lectures in Nanjing and recuperated in Jinmen.A certain gentleman came to visit. It is said that Liang's disease is caused by excessive use of the brain and enlargement of the atrium, but it is at the beginning, and there is no hindrance.Talking about why Liang did not speak about the current situation, Liang said: I had a thousand words to say, but the doctor forbade me to write, so I had to stop.And the current situation where demons and demons are rampant in two days, it is definitely not something that can be relieved by relying on the pen and tongue.Mrs. Liang continued to talk, sighed deeply, and said: The young people who instigated the trend this time were all abandoned by the people of the country, and I don't bother to blame them.The most painful thing is, why does the magistrate (prosecutor) follow orders that undermine the judiciary?In the two houses of Congress, I always thought that there are quite a few people who understand blood. Why do most of the cabinet members who have been criticized by thousands of people agree?Chinese people have very weak concept of law. Now that the three organs of legislation, administration and judiciary are working together to trample on the law, don't they tell people clearly: "The law is an ornament, so it can be ignored"?Doesn’t it clearly tell people that “the law is exclusively used to destroy the weak, and those who have power are absolutely not bound by the law”?After this time, it can really be said that the law is completely bankrupt!

Chinese people are very indifferent to the representative system and very skeptical. We hope that after the resumption of the Congress this time, the members of the parliament will be inspired a little bit, and they will fight for the alternative system of government.Unexpectedly, in the past few months, he has been full of ugliness, and he has nothing to do except worship warlords and help the evildoers.This time the two houses voted in favor, and I dare say that more than half of the members have declared their personality bankrupt.Half a month ago, I was very angry because Jiangsu provincial councilors cut education funds and increased my annual expenses, and I wrote an article to criticize them.There are a few sentences in it that say: "If this does not change, the status of the parliament in the future will become 'gentleman and villain'; the term councilor will become 'all people in the country can be killed." Someone asked me at that time, do you Why do you blame Members so much?I said that we originally wanted to rely on congressmen to punish the crimes of warlords and bureaucrats and protect the rights of the people, but now congressmen are adding fuel to the fire and are exclusively against the people, even doing things that warlords refuse to do. What about times?They are not responsible, and the most painful thing is to make all kinds of empirical evidence to tell the world that the Chinese cannot practice representative politics.From today onwards, it can be said that the parliamentary system is completely bankrupt!When Liang said this, he was very short of breath, as if he was extremely angry.Because the other party was ill, it was inconvenient to talk for a long time, so he resigned and left.
