Chapter 13 Concern and Patriotism (December 23, 1899)

There are those who worry about the country and there are patriots.Patriots who worry about the country say: Are you a shortcoming of the people who speak well?Said: I am only worried about it.Those who worry about the country talk about the patriots and say: Are you the leader of the people who speak well?Said: I only love it.Words of worrying about the country make people angry, words of patriotism make people enterprising, and this is their strength; This is its shortcoming.Zhu Zi said: "Teaching is like helping an intoxicated person. When he is helped up, he falls down again." It is not appropriate to use it, and even good words are enough to mislead the world.As the main author of the newspaper, you must pay attention to the news here.

The most worrying thing in the world today is none other than China; the most lovable thing in the world is none other than China.The more I worry about it, the more I love it; the more I love it, the more I worry about it.I want to cry, but also want to sing.I cry, who will dance?My song is over, who will be the peacemaker? A Japanese youth asked the official: "Everyone in China regards Europeans as snakes and scorpions. Even if they are knowledgeable people, they can't help it. Even if they are officials, they can't help it. Why?"Ren Gong said: "Those who regard Europeans as snakes and scorpions, only in the past did so."Today, on the contrary, they regard Europeans as gods, adoring them, flattering them, and begging for mercy.In the past, everyone thought snakes and scorpions, so I dare not say that they are cute; but now everyone thinks they are gods, so I dare not say that they are enviable.If the words are true, then the Europeans are neither gods nor snakes and scorpions, but gods and snakes and scorpions, that is, gods and snakes and scorpions.Although, this is just an objective statement.If we talk about it subjectively, then if China can stand on its own, what will the gods do?What will the snake and scorpion do?If you can't stand on your own, what will you do if you are not a god?What will the non-femme fatale do?
