Chapter 80 To Zhao Qingge

Qing Court: That's strange, why haven't you got my letter yet?I wrote to you at the beginning of December.Please write articles, send books, and prepare to come east, it seems that all this news has been in vain!I also ask you to forward the letter to Yeya. I am wondering why none of you have written. ——Stop talking, let me repeat it again.After we came, we lived in the regiment for a while, and moved in after our house was completely repaired.At the same time, I visited some suburban places, such as Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima, Atami and other nearby places of interest. Tokyo is extremely desolate, and the degree of bombing is much worse than that of Chongqing. To this day, there are still piles of bricks and iron on the ground, and there are no pedestrians on the road.There is a world of difference compared to Shanghai.Our house is very nice, in Japanese style, with a small garden, small and exquisite.There is no fire in the house yet.Because the family downstairs has not yet moved out—it is also a member of the regiment.Wait until the new house arrives before moving out.Probably not too long.We are very busy.After I came, I wrote articles for Japanese newspapers.They are eager to know the situation of the Chinese literary and art circles, and the attitude of the Chinese cultural circles towards Japan.I have met many Japanese female writers, and I am quite disappointed. In the past, they were too deceived, not only about China, but also about the general trend of the world.So I wrote articles every day, met with reporters, and went to Japanese banquets. Japanese food was really unpalatable.Wen Zao is also busy, busy with the allies.The little girl is the happiest and has become the darling of the group, everyone loves her.Her reading has become a problem. There are 21 children in the regiment. They will start elementary school soon. Now they are reading a little at home and writing diaries and letters.The weather here is not cold at all. (Japanese houses are small, so it’s not enough to keep out the cold. The four sides are ventilated. The earthquake and wind make the whole house vibrate.) There is an electric stove in the house. .My health was not bad, and of course I vomited a little blood sometimes, but I never lay down.I have mentioned your matter in my previous letter, because the leader of the fourth group has not yet come, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not yet approved it—the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a backlog of at least dozens of people, and I don’t know where.The slowness of Chinese public affairs can be seen.At the same time, the regiment stipulates that the period of personnel coming to Japan is at least two years. Do you have any opinions on this?Please reply immediately.Christmas here is quite lively, but it's just dancing and drinking champagne in the group.The streets in Tokyo are very deserted, and there are no pedestrians on the streets on New Year's Eve.Last night was Lunar New Year’s Eve. We had a friend treat us to dinner. After dinner, we watched and danced for a while and then came back. The second child (Wei Jie) has been here for a few days. He represents Wynn and will be back in three months.Two days ago, a trustee brought a letter (at the same time the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent something) saying that India would hold a meeting.

(The original text is in English, the handwriting is blurred) Ask me to go to a meeting.The India session is from March 15th to March 31st.But it was the cherry blossom season in Japan at that time. I would like to travel to Nara and other places in Japan at this moment. I don’t know where it will be next spring, so I don’t want to go to India.Instead, the Political Council——(missing below) (approximately between February and March of 1947)
