Zhigang's son Daxiong suddenly came back from college because he wanted to join the special volunteer army.Zhigang was obsessed with the imperial civilization movement, and his son wanted to volunteer as a soldier, but he was happy, but his wife cried to stop him, but Daxiong himself was determined to volunteer, and he didn't care about his mother's stop. Instead, he said: "Mother's brain old-fashioned. Da Xiong refuted his mother's stubbornness.But his mother still wouldn't give up dissuading him, so she asked Hu Wenqing to persuade Daxiong, but Hu Wenqing still didn't have the theory and persuasive power to change Daxiong's determination.In the end, it was Taiming's turn to persuasion.Daxiong's mother cried and begged him, Taiming agreed: "Okay, let me try!" 'Tai Ming saw Da Xiong.Daxiong knew that Taiming also wanted to dissuade him, so his attitude was very firm from the beginning.Taiming had to start by unraveling his mood first.Then he said, "Da Xiong!Let's gossip with uncle today!This is the tea I brought back from China. It is a little different from the tea here. You can taste it.There is nothing for you to taste, to celebrate your journey, drink a cup of tea, hahaha..." Taiming said this nonchalantly, Daxiong's mood has obviously eased a little.Taiming said again: "Da Xiong!Volunteering is a very commendable thing, why do you have this idea?Say what you believe in, will you? Da Xiong expressed his beliefs with confidence. According to his thoughts, Taiwanese are now standing in the stage of a big test of whether they can become Japanese.The jihad that is going on now (he said it is a jihad) can only pass the test if we work together.It is the long-cherished wish of our young people to be a pillar of humanity in order to liberate one billion East Asian people.This theory is very naive.Taiming thought: 'There is also a poor, uncritical young man here! Taiming suddenly recalled what happened when he was called to the army. He saw the anti-Japanese youths in the motherland in the mainland, who were not yet old enough to serve in the army, and the heroic gestures of bravely dying for righteousness were vivid in front of his eyes.Taiming looked at Daxiong with a sad heart.

Da Xiong was exactly the same as those rough young men who sang military songs and strode forward with air, as if they had forgotten their humanity.Whenever Tai Ming saw those young people who were cleverly painted and puppeted, he always felt a little cold on his skin, but he was helpless.But Da Xiong is his nephew, he is related by blood, no, even if he is not a relative, for a young man who is about to go astray, he must try to save him.As Taiming thought about it, an indescribable enthusiasm surged up in his heart. He first started from the past history that the ideal of the so-called ethical country often collapsed before being overbearing. He explained that this was because of the contradiction in the fundamental concept of the country.In modern times, countries became even more degenerate. Capitalism turned its foundation to colonies and often oppressed the development of weak and small nations. Nazi Germany even stood on a narrow worldview, delusional that it was the best nation, and dreamed of dominating the world.In Taiwan, not only is Taiwan's material goods extracted, but it is also destroyed spiritually.

'Da Xiong!Look at the reality before our eyes! When Taiming said this, his tone finally became fierce: "They wanted the Taiwanese to become Japanese, but on the one hand they adopted a tough control, controlling the Taiwanese so that they could not move."Now you want to throw your life to fight, who are you for?Why throw life away?You think about it! Taiming's tone naturally warmed up. He is always conservative and rarely speaks out his beliefs in front of people, but now he has a clear goal, to use his own persuasion to save a young man who is on the verge of delusional abyss... …

Taiming also said that the mass killings in the war were rationalized and heroic in the name of the country.All contradictions are conceived in the country.History is distorted on the premise of the state, and the textbooks that justify the existence of the state are nothing more than propaganda for its rights.The educational process from elementary school to university, in short, is just a consistent propaganda process.Thanks to this education, everyone is accustomed to the life of the state, which in turn becomes a tradition and becomes an institution.Institutions put people into a model.Those who do not want to be included in its mold are called heretics.

Taiming used Chinese footbinding as an example to illustrate the incident.Foot binding used to be a standard of beauty in China, and the moral immorality of foot binding was not asked.The whole society thinks it is good and beautiful, and does not question it.However, because of contact with modern Western culture, the idea that footbinding is beautiful collapsed.A new standard of beauty, a new moral standard debut.And the history of Chinese women's emancipation, because of the abolition of footbinding, wrote its first page.Institutions have an essential cause of blinding.Taiming took the issue of the opposition between countries again. If society progresses, the opposition will disappear, and the need for war will disappear.At that time, the war will only be recorded in history as a cruel habit that existed in the past, Taiming concluded in this way.The renunciation of war he speaks of is nothing more than conceptual abstraction, but at least there is a higher ideal here.Although the forms are different, Daxiong is infatuated with a concept and takes it as the basis of action. Therefore, Taiming's statement has the effect of persuading Daxiong's concept.

At the end of Taiming's long and enthusiastic speech, Daxiong heaved a sigh of relief with his red face as if he had just woken up from a dream.What Taiming mentioned was a fresh surprise to Daxiong that he had never heard before.He sighed and said: "Uncle's views are really different, surpassing those of the Reds." ''My point of view is not red or black, but just taking things of course, thinking of course, and observing facts as facts.Having the courage to recognize the facts is at least the attitude an intellectual should adopt. What do you think? As Taiming said, he looked at Daxiong with a knowing smile on his face.Da Xiong obviously understood what Tai Ming said.

'uncle!I get it, I'll reconsider. Da Xiong said so, keeping his head down.Taiming felt that his own persuasion had achieved a certain effect of persuasion.Taiming had a feeling of thanking heaven.
