Chapter 25 Chapter 25

The situation unfolded very quickly and overwhelmed the people who had to deal with it.Everyone has several meetings with each husband, running here and there again, and the results of the discussions have to be planned and implemented separately; the mind and physical strength are spent to the fullest, and they are not taken seriously.You should be tired, right?No, never.Everyone is like an artist. The great statue that has been worked hard one by one with one awl and one chisel is about to succeed. In the final effort, the awl and chisel are constantly waving and carving, and the wrists are not tired; When the great statue of one's own hand will be revealed before the eyes of all, it will arouse the highest excitement and add a lot of energy.

Education is, of course, an item that cannot be easily ignored.In order to be able to deal with this project calmly after the change, a meeting was organized first.Ni Huanzhi is the current teacher. Although his concept has changed and he no longer says "all hope depends on education", he is eagerly looking forward to the future of education; no one knows that he will be indispensable in this meeting. There have been several meetings, and Huanzhi feels much more satisfied with each resolution.Both institutionally and methodically, the congregation bases its argument on another theory (one different from that on which the dying status quo is based); will no longer be accommodated in new resolutions.When these new resolutions are implemented, Huanzhi thought, education should show its true function

The meeting ended that day, and he walked with Wang Leshan. It was getting dark, and the chilly spring breeze was quite chilly. With a passion for the light, he took Leshan's arm to talk about the unfinished topic just now.He said: "This issue of rural education, I think, is very profound and very important. It is not difficult for farmers to understand their status and mission, but they must get some inspiration, and the improvement of agricultural technology requires detailed guidance: This kind of responsibility belongs to rural education. If this work is done well, it will be like a big building, which has laid a deep foundation and will never collapse no matter what."

Wang Leshan nodded quietly.He has become more and more serious recently, as if he didn't know that the brilliant scene was about to begin, which made Huanzhi feel strange, but he didn't dare to ask.He smacked his lips and said: "It's just that there are not so many talents. The situation is developing so fast, it can be seen that there is a lack of people in any aspect; most people like to work in lively places; rural education is lonely and lonely, and only people who have a deep understanding Naturally, as soon as the new situation develops and word spreads that people will be recruited for rural education, the applicants will definitely gather like flies; "

"This, of course, does not allow anyone to make up for it. It is not that there is absolutely no rural education in the status quo we are dissatisfied with. They teach the peasants a few words and a little bit of superstitious social dogma; in fact, they teach them to be more useful and more A tame slave! Since we absolutely reject that kind of rural education, how can we let an indiscriminate person take charge of it?" "It seems that students from normal schools may not be able to do it, right?" "This is the damned sin of a group of people who preside over teacher education. They set up normal schools in cities, and all facilities are based on cities; although some normal students come from the countryside, they forget the countryside in the end. It's better In some normal schools, their affiliated primary schools are often the most advanced among ordinary primary schools, and they are willing to put in effort to experiment and practice new educational methods and new theories. However, they always suffer from a very serious problem. It is to regard their schoolchildren as belonging to the city, and they belong to the relatively affluent class in the city. During the period of trial teaching, the normal students came into contact with the schoolchildren treated in this way, and they returned to the countryside to educate pure rural children. , what else is there but being incompatible? As for adult education in the countryside, those who preside over teacher education have not even dreamed of it; if they are blamed, they will be wronged."

"In this way, it is also an urgent matter to open a large number of rural teachers' schools." "Naturally, at least as much as a training institute for political workers." "Come make a detailed plan!" Le Shan said, looking at the newly installed barbed wire beside the road.A row of shophouses was blocked outside the barbed wire, leaving only a very narrow gap for pedestrians to come and go.The sky was already dark, and the dim yellow electric light illuminated the figures passing through the gap. "Damn it! They thought they would protect everything they plundered by doing this!" Huanzhi couldn't be as indifferent as Leshan. He hated foreigners for showing hostility, and laughed at them seeing the new situation coming with the momentum of landslides. After all, he will be guilty and timid; he can't help but say this every time he sees barbed wire fences on the sidewalks and soldiers in different costumes brought by warships.

"Standing in their position, how can we do it if we don't do this? Could it be that Nuo Nuo keeps saying that we will return everything we plundered? If so, will there still be conflicts and struggles in the world? Only one side wants to plunder, and the other side wants to resist , all different, conflicts and struggles took place. Whoever is strong and strong, victory belongs to him.” He talked about conflicts and struggles, but Leshan was as calm as talking about trivial matters. "Judging from the current situation, most of the victory belongs to our side; the new diplomatic story in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is the prelude to victory." Huanzhi was still so innocent, and at this time let a lot of optimism occupy his heart, believing that the bright realm will soon be over. There will be banknotes that are tantamount to believing in full cash.He said proudly: "They foreigners must be frightened in private; they sent soldiers to block the barbed wire just because they couldn't bear the terror and used it to strengthen their courage. Think about it, none of them know that the Shanghai citizens at this time, Each of them has the ambition to leap forward, and each of them is full of new vitality. As soon as the opening bell of the great drama rings, they will all rush to the stage and move with the spirit of breaking new records. This They have no precedent in their experience, and are incapable of imagining; only a mysterious sense of terror is within their power."

"Have you seen the tide of the Qiantang River?" "No. I went to Hangzhou ten years ago and looked at the Qiantang River from under the Pagoda of Six Harmonies. The river flows slowly, not when the tide is high." "Last autumn, I went to Haining to watch the tide. At first, the river flow was slow and shallow, as if you could see the bottom. For some reason, I suddenly heard a soft rumbling sound, as if there was something far away. A factory is running machines. People say that is the sound of the tide, and the distance is still far away, about a hundred miles away. In less than ten minutes, the sound becomes very loud, as if enveloping the universe, swallowing the atmosphere, Come to break the silence of this peaceful and leisurely state, and be the forerunner of the rushing and raging tide. However, the head of the tide has not yet disappeared. The people watching the tide are silent; there is a loud thunderous sound that excites the eardrums and shakes the atrium at the same time. It sounds rhythmically, and everyone feels the greatness of the natural force and the smallness of the individual; that voice leads a completely different world, it is reckless, and it wants to stir everything up. This is just like the mood of the people in Shanghai at the moment. No matter who is in Shanghai at the moment, they will hear the loud thunderous sound, so they will feel extremely nervous and mysterious. Those who are about to rush to the stage will try to Those who strengthen their courage are almost the same at this point."

"You are so leisurely, describing and watching the tide, like their writers don't have to worry about writing short essays." "At that time, a friend who went with me asked me, the tide has not yet come, and the state of loud noises covering the world, what can be compared? I said, the ancients' "Watching the Tide" is all nonsense, only the eve of the Great Revolution can be compared symbolically. Just now When I think of this sentence by chance, I will tell you." Afterwards, both of them remained silent, each walking along with their own faint shadows printed on the road.Suddenly Le Shan said to himself, "I don't know when someone will cut off my head."

What an abrupt sentence!There is no connection with the previous words.And it was said at this night, it was completely meaningless when Huanzhi thought about it.He asked with a suspicious smile, "Are you joking?" "No, I've never liked to tell jokes." Le Shan replied, still in his somewhat stern tone. "Then, today, isn't it too much for you to think like this?" "Do you think it's almost time to finish writing today? If you think so, you are wrong." "Of course it hasn't come to the end of the article, but at least half of the article has been written. As far as Shanghai is concerned, it has to be said that a considerable paragraph can be concluded immediately."

"Most of the article, quite a few paragraphs, didn't talk about the reality of the matter. Let me tell you, the beginning of the upcoming scene is the real beginning! To write this article, you need collateral, and the collateral is the head. " "That's not the case, is it?" Huanzhi said disappointedly.It was as if he had obtained a treasure, but someone said that the treasure might be broken and dirty, which aroused half-belief and melancholy. "Not so? Let's see the future!—Good-bye, I'm turning the corner." Although he suffered from lung disease, his back was still short and dainty, and he disappeared in the crowd of people and vehicles in an instant. Huanzhi slept on the bed that night, unable to get rid of Leshan's abrupt words.Those words turned into many hazy scenes completely contrary to expectations, making Huanzhi smell the rotten atmosphere of disappointment and sadness.From those scenes, he saw all kinds of hearts, and also all kinds of blood; hearts collided with each other, like the stones used in ancient wars; flow.Afterwards, although the rotten heart is rotten, the vivid heart is also tired of conflicts, and it is limp, like a pile of rotten flesh; the dirty blood is certainly dirty, but the fresh blood gradually becomes stale, red, like a pool of stagnant water.Then, there is nothing, and emptiness rules everything. He vaguely thought that he was confused by the dream, so he should wake up for a while by turning on the light.But my body seemed to be bound, and I couldn't sit up anymore.He wanted to turn over and face outside, but he couldn't do it, so he just put his right leg that was on the inner bed on top of his left leg, thinking in a foggy state: "This one, I saw with my own eyes... That one, I also saw it with my own eyes... Established! Produced! Long live! Decided! Do this! Guys! These voices are still ringing in my ears, are they illusory? No? No, no, it's not illusory, it's true." But his mind seemed to turn to another page of the book: "Such a change, judging from some revealed clues, is quite possible.... What was thrown over? Chi! It's a rotten heart!... Hey! Dirty blood stained my clothes!...Isn't that What is Leshan's head?" He saw Leshan's head jumping here and there like a football in a stadium; his eyes protruded, his eyebrows slanted, and the severed part was red, which was a red velvet cushion.Now I know that I have not seen the truth.Isn't Leshan the second stage of lung disease?This is the blood gushing up from Leshan's rotten lungs.But then I realized it again, how can this happen, I must be dreaming; stop, don't dream.This thought disappeared quickly, and he saw again the balloon-like things in the hands of vendors in the New Year's market, one cluster here, one cluster there, floating in the air.Look closely, the eyes are protruding, the eyebrows are hanging obliquely, it turns out that all of them are the heads of Leshan... "The army has arrived at Longhua! Ah, Longhua! Get up, this is not the time for Shen Shenchun to sleep!" In the dormitory closed by the stagnant morning light, it was Mi Siyin who shouted loudly like a crane in nine days sound.She didn't sleep soundly all night, and when she saw a little twilight on the window, she slipped outside to meet the newspaper vendors coming from Wangping Street. A cry filled with joy, enthusiasm, and vitality immediately surged up to respond: "Have you come? Ah, our army has finally arrived!" Then there was a hasty and leaping sound; the female students got up and put on their clothes, opened the cage, and hummed the song "get up", every word seemed to be faltering and faltering.Some of them drew the curtains and opened the windows to look up; ah!The weather is fine, and the rising sun shines fresh red. Huanzhi was awakened by the sound, feeling a little dizzy.When he heard the shouts of the female students clearly, a shock passed through his body like an electric current, and he felt that he had never been so excited, and he had never been so awake; the degree of excitement and sobriety cannot be expressed in words, except for his own feelings. , there is no other way to appreciate its depth.Last night's absurd dream is finally nothing more than a dream; I can't get rid of it for a long time, and only when I am in a coma; at this moment when I am awake, as long as I have a little energy in my mind, I will think about other really important topics. How can I go looking for those boring dreams for no reason!Thinking of this, he stood up abruptly, and put on a short padded jacket, like a soldier putting on his iron armor when going into battle. If you can still feel calm and peaceful at this moment, then it must be a waste like ashes; otherwise, it is a hero with great courage.Huanzhi, who is neither, just wants to run outside at the moment; he knows that a live drama as grand and majestic as the Qiantang Tide is about to begin, and he is willing to be a performer and a viewer at the same time; He couldn't predict how exciting and joyful the mood would be, and he was eager to taste it for himself.But another idea held him back: the situation has developed to this point, isn't there an urgent need for a detailed plan for the rural teachers' school?It takes half a day to finish writing it, and then go outside, it is serious. However, how could he sit down and write a plan for a rural teacher's school?The female students took out the biscuits, candies, towels, toothbrushes, etc. that they had bought for a few days, and distributed them one by one, wrapping them in this way and tying them in that way with female-specific care, preparing to comfort their so-called "our army"; The almost ecstasy of laughter came up one after another, which made his heart itch, as if he was about to laugh out loud, and at the same time seemed about to cry, so he had no choice but to walk out of the room and join their work. A female student said, "What's the point of giving something to a soldier without saying a word? We should have something to say." Another female student continued without hesitation: "There are so many things to talk about, and the truck can't finish it. You are the vanguard of the revolution! You are the gods of liberation! Your achievements for more than a year will always be engraved on the The hearts of the people of the whole country! Your spirit of sacrifice opens the first page of China's new history!..." "I want to say to them like this: Soldiers, China has existed for thousands of years; but soldiers who belong to the people for the people are unprecedented! Soldiers who are not for the people and do not belong to the people are either slaves or looters; only You, none of them! For this, we respect you, love you, and give you a small gift." "Good! That's the best way to say it; you're the representative of all of us!" shouted everyone, all the more diligent and vigorous in their work. "I don't want to say a word." Everyone turned to look at Mi Siyin who said this sentence; the innocent and determined expression filled her brows, eyes and lips, which showed that her words had a deeper meaning than what she said.Several people asked, "Why don't you want to say a word?" "It's much more kind to say nothing. I just want to give them a kiss on the mouth!" "Haha!" Everyone laughed.But the laughter stopped immediately like the feet of summer rain; they felt all her emotions in her eyes that were brighter than in love, and in her trembling voice that was more excited than shouting, Therefore, as if infected, his lips also had a strong desire to kiss the soldiers. "Oh! I should give each of them a kiss," Huanzhi sighed, breaking the momentary silence; he was moved to such a depth that he would have shed tears a few years ago. It was past nine o'clock after the distribution of the comfort items.When Huanzhi returned to his room, he thought again about the rural teacher's topic that had been spinning in his mind at that time.He thought of the political understanding of the peasants, he thought of the economic oppression in the countryside, he thought of improving agricultural technology, and he thought of using machines; , You must be very careful and considerate before you can meet face-to-face.He picked up the pen several times to write on paper, but he shrank a few times, thinking that he hadn't thought it through enough.The flag, the gun, the fire, and the shadows of blood flashed at the door of his heart from time to time, alluring, as if he was still calling softly: "Come out! Come out! At this moment today, thanks to you still sitting Stay! Come out! Come out!" It was already twelve o'clock when it was written on a piece of paper. After a hasty lunch, he refused to go into the room with his feet anymore, so he ran out of the school.The trams had stopped because the tram workers had their rally.Several postmen rode past on bicycles, no longer carrying leather bags or sacks for carrying letters, but carrying a squarely wrapped paper bag in their hands, which was a gift they were going to give as a gift. He felt that there was a strange air in the street.It is very quiet, but it is the silence of the moment before the storm is about to come; it is peaceful, but it is the peace of the moment before the earthquake is about to break out.Everyone's eyes shone like a madman, and everyone's face showed a look of excited nerve endings; although some were joyful, some were sad, some were excited, and some were panic, their emotions were not consistent.The metaphor of the Qiantang tide mentioned by Leshan yesterday came to mind, and he said to himself: "They were lost in mysterious amazement for a moment when they heard the loud sound that enveloped the universe. Ah! Great voice! Expressive power the sound of!" Suddenly, a continuous burst of firecrackers broke through the quiet and peaceful air; people on both sides of the road raised their heads.Huanzhi looked at the place where the public's eyes were focused, and it turned out to be a Cantonese restaurant, which was hanging up the brand new banner; the banner was opened, green, white, and especially the red that took up most of it, vivid and strong The land was imprinted in the eyes of the public, and everyone's hands couldn't help clapping like leaps. "Long live China! Long live the revolution!" As soon as the tide of the Qiantang River rushes over, it immediately becomes a world where there is no place where there is no movement and no place is no place where there is no turbulence; since then, peace and tranquility have retreated, and no one will feel sorry for them. or nostalgia.What filled the space on this road was the sound of clapping and cheering. The "Three Heads" with one hand on the pistol at their waist and the "Yin Zhu" with the short gun hanging from their shoulders stared at this group of crazy citizens, as if they wanted to interfere and show their majesty; They are also smart, knowing that if they intervene, they are just asking for trouble, so they just pretend not to see or hear, and still stand in the middle of the road like puppets. Huanzhi felt that his body seemed to be lifted by a force, and he was lifted up in the sky; at the same time, his heart turned into an unknown number of hearts, all of which were hidden in the hearts of those applauding and cheering people.Because he rose high in the sky, he thought, he will fly from now on!Because the heart of his own family is the heart of others, he thought, from now on it will become bigger and bigger!He didn't want to shed tears, he didn't understand how to describe the feelings at this moment; he just looked at the brand new flag with green and white, especially the red that took up most of it, reverently, like a holy festival. He felt that his legs had gained a lot of vitality, so he hurried northward.The moving banners were stretched out one after another from the roofs of this house and that house, and each side stretched out, causing a burst of warm applause and cheers. "Boom!...Boom!...Boom!" "Listen! Gunshots at the train station!" Passers-by listened sideways, showing curiosity but not taking it seriously, just like listening to the fireworks that sound like cannons in a French park on the 14th of July. "Friends of labor! You have started to use your armed forces! Some of the enemy troops at the train station are just for you to try out. You still have to..." Thinking like this, Huanzhi took bigger and more urgent steps , Go straight to the train station.
