Chapter 97 To Zhao Qingge

Qing Court: Both the letter and "Untitled Collection" were received.Very good.The chrysanthemum petals in the letter worship.The red leaves of the sun are attached as a reward.Nikko is the most beautiful place in Japan, and Kegon Taki is located there, with beautiful lakes, mountains, springs, waterfalls, and especially red leaves.It is exactly: "Mountains are full of valleys, red leaves and yellow flowers, it is a sad and desolate time, and heartbroken people are at the end of the world." This ditty is too sad, but the red leaves all over the mountains and valleys are indeed a spectacle.We went there at the end of last month, during the Red Leaf Festival, stayed in Nikko for one night, stayed in Yumoto above 5,000 feet for one night, and took a bath in the hot spring.Looking at the rainbow in the evening, getting up early to watch the snow, when it was still full moon, I thought of you, but unfortunately you are not here!This is often the case in the world.Yushan Tour, I know you will think of me too.Japanese chrysanthemums are also good, they are extremely fat, and my friends always bring flowers when they come to see me, but unfortunately they cannot be sent to China.The crab has not been eaten yet.

Let me tell you, I'm so greedy, I'll go buy it tomorrow.I heard that Fangyuan once visited you. This gentleman has a lot of things in his belly, so there is a lot to talk about. Old people often complain, but they don't vent much to young people.It's very interesting to hear him talk about people around the May Fourth Movement.The eldest sister arrived here on the afternoon of the 20th. She is in good health and has a healthy appetite. She will not be allowed to study for another six months (until next summer).Learning the piano and studying English is fine, anyway, I will go back together next year.I was planning to boast to you about my body, saying that I haven't vomited blood for a long time; just the day before yesterday, I suddenly vomited again, quite a lot.The reason is drinking too much.I haven't dared to drink alcohol for a long time. Recently I tried (yellow wine) twice, and the result was very good, so I became more courageous.After all, the blood vessels are still not working.It exploded the third time.You don't have to scold me. After I reported it, I said that I would stop drinking from now on.There are too many opportunities to eat and drink here, and it is very dangerous to meet acquaintances.You also need to get liver injections frequently, okay?I am very busy, and I always want to write articles, but I always have no time.Is Lao She's third "Famine" out yet?Please send me one.In a hurry, knock on your peace.Bing Xin's 47th, 11th, 24th 1948 New Year's speech In the atmosphere of Christmas and New Year, the night of wine, green lights and red lights, according to the psychological habits since ancient times, people should be full of joy and hope, but in fact Not so!In the midst of the sky full of wind and the ground full of cold snow, the mouths of the hungry and frozen people are naturally full of sorrow, resentment, and anger, and the hearts of the relatively full and warm people are only gloomy, disappointed and sad.The most tragic thing is that this kind of situation is too common. There are almost no corners in the world that can escape the oppression of "hunger and cold"!

The war sweeping the world has caused widespread uneasiness; the stagnation of industry, the reduction or shortage of food, the soaring price of goods, the increasing unemployment index, and the daily death of tens of thousands during the harsh winter months ! Listening to the howling wind outside the window, how many of them can sleep soundly in the warm quilt?Looking at the trembling and crouching poor by the roadside, how many of them can have enough to eat at the sumptuous feast? Everything we see and hear and see in front of us and overseas disappoints us, makes us sad, and makes us indignant... But before all things are reasonably resolved, we still have to do our best.Among the vast masses of people who are in dire need of help, we must pick out those who we think should be the first to help.

We want to help innocent, innocent children whose future is full of responsibility and hope.The wars started by the predecessors have caused their homelessness, starvation and death, especially the children of the invaded countries. They are doubly unfortunate.We extend our warm arms to them.Our meager strength may not be able to provide them with food and clothing generally. We hope that with small material help, we can give them a little supplement and the effect of rest. We want to help those women who suffer from the sufferings of war without the responsibility of war, especially women in countries that have been invaded. Their fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons have been killed, and their families and gardens have been destroyed. . . . Afterwards, they are still gritting their teeth and enduring struggles to overcome all kinds of difficulties after the war.We also especially want to help them, materially and spiritually, to help them bear, tidy up, and build!

The Overseas Chinese Women's Association in Tokyo is planning this kind of work, and with all my respect, I wish them success!
