Chapter 6 Letter to Kang Youwei (excerpt) (November 18, 1903)

The difficulty of doing things is the same in all directions.The gentleman came to write a book, saying that the Nanyang people are easy to shake and cannot be relied on, saying that the disciple is lucky and proud everywhere.Who knows the twists and turns, they are all the same.On the surface, the popularity of the master may be more than that of the disciples; as far as his inner feelings are sweet and bitter, Nanzhong will not be allowed here.That is to say, in the case of money, disciples and others hope that Zun Chu can get a lot of money, but they don't want Zun Chu to wait for this mere money, which is Jing Nie's plan.

The disciples and others here are getting down day by day, with soft looks and pleasant voices, to deal with people in various societies, really like the so-called slaves of the public.However, how many of them are beneficial to doing practical things in the Mainland?How many people are beneficial to the social improvement of this local area?Thinking to myself at night, I really feel worthless, I have been tired for a long time.Since I have come to this place, how can I give it up, and since I have done it, I can't use the full strength of a lion fighting a rabbit. It is extremely painful and pitiful to be here.Not only that, but also bear a false name, such as the recent newspapers in Hong Kong and Shanghai, claiming that the insured money is several hundred thousand, who is devoured by someone, and is criticized every day for "sucking the blood of the people, sucking the ointment of the people" .Although I have a good conscience and have no sympathy for others, the so-called comrades in various ports are also discussing privately with each other day by day, and the discussion is long and the heart is cold.And our generation has also failed to do one or two practical things, enough to stick to it for a while, then it will be criticized, and it is easy to accept it directly.Therefore, disciples often think to themselves at night, wishing to find a place to die quickly, and vigorously become a ghost hero, to avenge this shame, but so far they have not gotten the ear of it.Disciple Ge Lun always haunts his chest because of this.Mr. blames its fluidity, of course, but I don't know that external stimuli are often forced to take the risky road?In the past, the death of Fu Cheng in the Tang Dynasty was the result of his death, and the disciples calculated that he would also die because of it in the future.I have read a lot of the world, and I am tired of the world.In the past, I often blamed people for this, but now I don't know why it is so close to this day.

It is difficult to carry out reform, but the words of the husband are solid.However, regarding the matter of Yingtian, my disciples thought that those who gave up money to buy knights would definitely be unusable, so they did not advocate it, not that it is not appropriate to do this.For example, the so-called Lin Xia is now, the disciples have not seen him, so they can't cut him off. Why don't they go for several months, but spend money like water every day, causing the husband to suffer from support.However, if these people make offerings to them, it will be useful, which is not what the disciples dare to say.Have you not experienced the hardships of supporting heroes for several years?Day by day, the air is soft and soft, if a filial son cares about his parents, if he cares about his parents, he can immediately turn back ruthlessly.Therefore, disciples often told Mian and Yun, etc., that offering sacrifices to heroes today is like flattering prostitutes, but after years of vows, once the money at the head of the bed is exhausted, they will cross another boat with a pipa.Therefore, using money to buy human life force is the most dangerous and foolish strategy.The people that the master supports may be different from the previous ones, while the disciples are more involved in the world and more scheming, and there are really unexpected things.Therefore, the disciple's desperation is discussion, not its purpose, but its means.The reason why the nihilistic party does this is because the party leader does it himself.Today's party leader can't do anything, but wants to rely on the people of the lower society and fill his ravines with tens of thousands of gold, which his disciples dare not agree with.

Mr. is not sitting and waiting for the restoration, the disciples would rather not know it?Hereby, it is only occasionally provocative.But if you think about it carefully, even if Nala is dead, if Gou had no military strength, would he be able to carry out his ambition?Faced with the fact that it is so difficult to obtain military strength today, the scourge of foreign invasion and oppression is so urgent, and various domestic societies are so corrupt, when I think about it quietly, I feel that there is no reason why China will never die.Every time I read the newsprint, the thought of world-weariness arises spontaneously without realizing it, and I really want to look at it with my eyes closed.What do you think, Mr. Yu?

Today, if the master transfers the funds to handle secrets, the disciples can't fight, but the true benefits of the disciples will be invisible to others.The master blames his disciples and encourages them to do things well, but he doesn't know how miserable they are.People are urged to join the association every day, and people ask what the membership money is for, and there is no name for it, and the secrets cannot be explained by people.In the port where the meeting is newly held, the number of new members is especially high.If Ge Yi doesn't talk about it, he has to talk about peace; if he talks about peace, he can't talk about education, so he has to advocate public schools;Mr. Wu is responsible for this, but Wu Zhihu used this name, and it would be difficult to collect the sum of thousands of gold in this area!Sir, you can get a general idea of ​​the remittances from various places.Mr. Fu is so welcome everywhere in Nanyang, and his people are so vigorous, and Mr. Fu can only use school newspapers and other things to campaign for them, and there is no income for secret fees.Human feelings are not very far apart, and Mr. Hu can also appreciate the joys and sorrows here.Today public schools are advocated by ministers, consuls and various guild halls, and it may be possible to get as much money as possible. If Mr. Nanyang can actually transfer some of the funds for the school to Guangdong, and at the same time transfer the funds to other uses, it seems easy to do, otherwise it may not be possible. To the human ear.But no matter what the use of this mere money is, it can't become a large vessel, so what's the matter?It's frustrating to read this.
