Chapter 34 Section 33

The summer vacation is over, back to school, already a sophomore in high school.Students are divided into subjects, and Sun Tianchou studied liberal arts.Yan Mingxing also studied liberal arts, but he was still in the same class as Sun Tianchou.Mr. Zhu's hometown is in Simao area, and the formalities have been completed, and he is about to be transferred back to his hometown.He called Sun Tianchou to say: "Tianchou, study hard! As long as you are admitted to the university, you will be a flying dragon and go to the sky, and you will become famous! You will have a brilliant future! If you fail the exam, it will be hard to say! I hope you will fight for the exam! Come on! The teacher is far away, waiting for your good news." Sun Tianchou was excited again, and said: "Mr. Zhu, I will never disappoint your hope! I must become a great person and add glory to the teacher!"

The new homeroom teacher, Ou Wenguang, has gray hair and looks nearly seventy years old, but is actually only fifty.Mr. Ou is from Wumeng, a landlord, and his parents died when he was seven years old.After he was liberated, it was the Communist Party that brought him up.After he graduated from Wumeng Teachers College at the age of seventeen, he was assigned to Miliangba Middle School to teach physics.He was not only the record holder of high jump and long jump in Miliangba County, but also the center of the county basketball team at that time.And a beautiful cursive hand.After working for just one year, the political situation in China changed.The party asked the teachers to give their opinions.Mr. Ou didn't say anything to the Chinese Communist Party, but he was very grateful to the Chinese Communist Party.Without the Communist Party of China, he would be an orphan who would wander the streets forever and die in the wilderness, and would not be able to become a glorious teacher of the people.At the meeting, he put forward many opinions, with the purpose of making the Chinese Communist Party correct its shortcomings, carry forward its achievements, and make it greater, more glorious, and more correct.Unexpectedly, he was labeled as a rightist.Twenty-two years in purgatory.When he entered the prison at the age of eighteen, he was in full bloom, and when he left the farm at the age of forty, his waist was hunched and his hair was white.All the most precious things in life were lost.I used to shout "Long live the great Communist Party of China" loyally, but now I don't shout it.I used to shout "Long live Chairman Mao" loyally, but now I don't.

His lectures are lively, but the problem is that there is less time for lectures and more time for complaining.Students memorize it by rote. If they memorize Chinese and mathematics too much, they can't memorize dialectical materialism.Mr. Ou asked the students questions from time to time, but the students were at a loss.The students shouted one by one, and no one could answer the same question.The students stood up like a forest, so Teacher District sighed: "We still have to invite Sun Tianchou." He called Sun Tianchou to get up, answered the questions, and told everyone to sit down.In another class, a question was asked to a large group of students, and no one could answer it.Teacher Ou sighed again: "It's a pity that Sun Tianchou is not here! Sit down."

Teacher Au is frank and different from other teachers.Other teachers teach students the principles in the book, just like a political commissar teaching soldiers.District teachers are different.Said: "Students, when you study, you are jumping through the dragon's gate and changing your own destiny! Like Sun Tianchou, a rural student, you must work hard to change to become an urban person! From a farmer to a cadre, a Teacher, etc. This door is the college entrance examination! Once you enter this door, you will change your destiny! If you cannot enter this door, you will not change your destiny! It is not impossible to talk about the principles of the country and the nation, but for you now, It’s too far away, too impractical for your reality! You must concentrate your efforts on the college entrance examination now! Erase the hat of ‘farmer’, escape from the countryside, and enter paradise! The city is paradise! You are still in the countryside, and you are still a peasant. Serving the motherland and serving the people is empty, and you can’t do it even if you want to! Those who can contribute to the country and the nation are great scientists and industrialists. How can farmers repay? Look at the farmers at Miliangba. One hundred and eighty thousand people! How much contribution has they made to the country? Very small! Digging the ground with a hoe every day, I can’t support myself, and I have to rely on state relief! Digging and digging, the earth is being dug up, and the population Explosion, water and soil erosion. Contrary to the country and the nation, the whole Miliangba County was a virgin forest hundreds of years ago. We farmers came and destroyed the forest. Miliangba is full of mudslides. How many mudslides flow into the Yangtze River every year? I don’t know! Anyway, our mudslides are famous all over China! If the flow continues like this, there will be no need for other places. If a single rice grain dam flows for thousands of years, the Yangtze River will become the Yellow River! Chongqing, Wuhan , Nanjing, and Shanghai are buried underground just like Kaifeng! So as long as everyone goes home and becomes a farmer, it is a trouble for the country! It is not good for yourself, and it is not good for the country! You are admitted to university, technical secondary school, or anyone else. I look down on the school, even Miliangba Normal School, as long as your household registration is moved out of the countryside, you will make a contribution to the country! Because of this, Miliangba will lose one farmer who causes soil erosion!"

Sometimes he said to Wang Xunjie: "Who do you want to learn from? You have to learn from Mr. Wang Xunjie! His home is in the highest and hottest place in Miliangba. That place is called Fara! I used to go back to Wumeng by car. On the beams, the snow was deep, and the car couldn’t go. There was no other way, we went to the village to buy yams to eat. The village was full of thatched houses. When we entered the house, there was nothing! Not even yams! Seven or eight children. They just crawled on the ground without any clothes on! The women were holding one in their arms, another on their backs, one in their left hand and one in their right. There were a few around them, crying I said: "Can you have fewer children?" Those women said: "No! More children will bring more blessings! More children will be better!" This is the place where a teacher Wang came out, a college student! I asked Teacher Wang : "Mr. Wang, I was deeply surprised that you were able to walk from that place to the podium of the highest school in Miliangba. It was really not easy! How do you feel?" How did he answer me? Think about it, students! "The whole class couldn't answer.Teacher Ou said: "He just told me: 'Mr. Ou, I feel like going to heaven!'" The whole class roared with laughter.Some girls love Wang Xunjie for being young and handsome. When Mr. Ou said how backward and poor Wang Xunjie’s family was, they blushed when they said they felt like they were in heaven.Those boys and girls in the city despise Wang Xunjie after hearing this.

Mr. District told the truth, and said so in every class.Sometimes he said: "Teacher Wang Xunjie, you are good! You are also a good person, and you can teach well! In a thatched cottage at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, in such a hungry and cold place, it is unimaginable that such a talent can be produced! This shows: no one is worse than anyone else! People are born equal and there is no difference. It is the environment and society that make the difference between people! People can eliminate this difference through hard work and education! Students, this is Truth! Grasp this truth, and fight bravely!” Wang Xunjie went to Miliangba Middle School, and originally covered up the situation of his hometown and his family, but Mr. Ou didn’t expect to tell it all, which caused many students to look down on him , Some young teachers from urban areas look down on them even more.He was very annoyed by Teacher Au, but there was nothing he could do.Mr. Qu is an old teacher, and the principal respects him three points, let alone him.So I can only be angry.

Yue Yingxian studied at Miliangba in the first semester, and Mr. Ou also taught him.So he talked about Yue Yingxian again: "Last year I taught a student named Yue Yingxian, who is also from Fara! When the young man came to sign up for tutoring, he was wearing a felt jacket and his whole body was dusty. Maybe he never took a bath at home. Behind his neck and ears, his body was full of dust. It’s black! You can smell the stench on his body from two meters away. He brought a hundred dollars and came to sign up. When I saw it, I told several other teachers: “This student doesn’t need him to say, look at it. It’s pitiful, the family must be very poor, forget it, and let him pay for his tuition fee!” So ​​we didn’t want his tuition fee and let him make up for it. He didn’t study well at the beginning. , After a few months, the results came out, the college entrance examination, the entrance to the teacher college, throwing off the hat of "farmer", officially jumped into the dragon gate, and lived a good life. I told you about Yue Yingxian's place! It’s not much better than Africa! But as long as a person has a will, there is no failure! Where there is a will, there is a way!”

Finally, after Mr. Ou had finished the list of Wang and Yue, he promoted Sun Tianchou in each class: "Sun Tianchou is also from Fara! Poor! Quite poor! You can see that he wears everything. Patch! I asked Wang Xunjie and Sun Tianchou. Sun Tianchou’s family is poorer than Mr. Wang’s and Yue Yingxian’s! But what about being poor? Look at it if you don’t believe me. If he is admitted to a school in 2011, he is an extraordinary person! Then I am far inferior to him! You rich children from Miliangba County are no longer his opponents! And he wants to be admitted to a prestigious university. Most likely, I don’t think it’s a problem if he is admitted to an ordinary university! He’s like a high jumper, his back is about to go over the top of the pole, and the ‘farmer’ hat is about to be thrown off!”

Sometimes he said: "Students, watch TV carefully! Our Chinese football players, when they first came on the field, fought bravely and ran like flying! After running for a while, they couldn't run anymore! What about those in developed countries in the West? They kept running. , ran to the end, and still ran! Why? Because we are poor, and our players grew up eating starch. They are rich, and their players grew up eating protein! So they can’t compete with them physically. How do you still kick?" Or just say: "Students, run quickly! We didn't have the opportunity to run before, but now, we finally opened the gap! Hurry up! Go to Shanghai, go to Beijing, don't come back Just live there for the rest of your life, and just die there! You don’t even need to bring your ashes back! You are determined not to come back! What are you doing when you come back? Taking care of his younger brother is a heavy responsibility and a arduous task, otherwise I will tell him to go to a university, fly away immediately, and don’t urinate in this direction! I can’t do it! I can only die in this little rice Dam!"

Mr. Ou taught politics, and he taught four of the six classes in the whole grade.Taking these three people as an example every day, students from Fara and Buckwheat Mountain were extremely embarrassed.Students of all grades know Farah Poor.Needless to say, Wu Mingbiao, Xie Qingsheng, Wu Yaojun, Zheng Chaobin, etc., Wu Mingdao grew up in the county town and was no different from a group of city students, so he was ashamed to hear it.Among the Fala students, only Sun Tianchou and Xie Qingsheng studied liberal arts, and the rest all studied science.The results are Sun Tianchou and Wu Mingdao the best.

Sun Tianchou was blown away by Mr. Zhu and others, and his reputation was greatly improved.The district teacher waited and boasted again, and his reputation was even greater. Even the first-year students in the school knew that there was Sun Tianchou.But soon Sun Tianchou disappointed Mr. District. Sun Tianchou had decided to apply for military academies, the first step was to apply to the Army Academy, and after graduation from the Army Academy, he applied to the Intermediate Military Academy, and after graduation, he applied to the National Defense University to become a general.So he gets up every morning, runs around the court, works out.Sun Tianchou never ran on the playground. This made many people curious, thinking that Sun Tianchou wanted to apply for a sports school in the future.After the exercise was over, I ran to the county library instead of class.The county library has a set of twenty-four histories, and no one has read them for a long time, let alone read them all.Sun Tianchou is so ambitious that he is determined to finish reading it in a year or two.There is only one history book in the whole county.No loans allowed.The administrator took pity on Sun Tianchou and allowed Sun Tianchou to sit inside and read every day.Mr. Ou saw that Sun Tianchou didn't go to class all day and couldn't find it anywhere, so he came here to look for it.Seeing that Sun Tianchou was reading "Historical Records", he said: "Young man, you can't get rid of your 'farmer' status as Sima Qian! Right now, the most important thing for you is to take the school exam, which is worse than reading a hundred history books. Important! If you can’t pass the exam and go back to the countryside, what’s the use of reading the Twenty-Four Histories again?” Sun Tianchou refused to listen, and became addicted to reading, out of control.No matter how Mr. Ou persuaded him, he just refused to listen.One month later, Mr. Ou asked where he had been reading, and Sun Tianchou said that he had finished reading "Han Shu" and was about to start reading "Han Shu".Teacher Ou said: "When will you finish reading?" Sun Tianchou said: "Read it in two semesters." Teacher Ou said: "Good! You will just graduate from high school at that time, and you can go back to school after finishing reading." The family has gone to dig the ground." The former history teacher retired.A new college student named Tang Zhiwen came to the school.This teacher Tang was admitted to the Provincial Normal University by Mi Liangba a few years ago.Studying at school is good.When I graduated, I didn't want to go back to Miliangba.Miliangba did not produce talents, and finally there was a student who graduated from a normal university but did not return to Miliangba. So the deputy county magistrate in charge of education and the county education director went to the province to make trouble, and forced the student to be taken back to Miliangba. dam.After returning to Miliangba, he was assigned to teach history in the high school of Miliangba Middle School, which happened to be teaching Sun Tianchou and others.He has disheveled hair, poor clothes and shoes, very simple but also cynical, obviously dissatisfied with society.Before coming to class on the first day, Mr. Ou talked about his experience, and the students all admired Mr. Tang.Sun Tianchou listened and admired him very much.After Teacher Tang came to class, he felt good about Sun Tianchou.He also praised Sun Tianchou in every class.The students respected him very much. He said that Sun Tianchou could do it, so Sun Tianchou could do it.Sun Tianchou thought he was from the history department of the university, and he must have read the Twenty-Four Histories once or twice.Unexpectedly, Mr. Tang has never read it at all, and only read it casually, and has never finished it.Twenty-four historical books, only know the title, read "Historical Records".He heard that Sun Tianchou was reading the Twenty-Four Histories, so he said to Sun Tianchou: "I advise you not to read it! I am impatient to read it! If you want to study history, you should study the history of Greece, Rome, Europe, and the United States. Well worth it. Chinese history, as Lu Xun said, is a history of 'cannibalism'! Li Zongwu also said that it is a history of 'thick black'! Twenty-four histories are nothing more than praising the dictatorship of twenty-four schools The history of the Demon King! Not worth studying!" Sun Tianchou strongly disagreed with him.However, both of them are relatively strong, and neither can persuade the other.But Sun Tianchou couldn't be persuaded, so he didn't.But he often asked Sun Tianchou to play football and cook with him, saying that he liked Sun Tianchou's ideas.Sun Tianchou has already studied the history of Fala and Buckwheat Mountain, and in his next vacation, he plans to travel all over Miliangba County to collect information about the history of Miliangba.Sun Tianchou told Teacher Tang.Teacher Tang said: "I know more about the history of Miliangba than you. There is no research field! Your work is useless!" Not much contribution.Sun Tianchou argued with him, but he didn't listen.When Teacher Tang came to school, he ignored everyone because of his eccentric temperament.At first the teachers were still afraid of his great reputation, but soon they saw that he was nothing more than that, so they began to despise him.The school leaders thought he was conceited and looked down on others, so they didn't give him any housing.Let him live in the hotel every day.He became angry, and went to the county government to quarrel with the deputy county magistrate who wanted him back.The deputy county magistrate told the school once or twice, but he ignored it.Anyway, I thought he was amazing at first, but now I think you are just a teacher, what's so amazing!A poor teacher, you are only worthy of looking for the principal, are you worthy of looking for me?Later, Mr. Tang went to find him, but the deputy county magistrate ignored him.Teacher Tang then scolded the school, the county education bureau, and the county government.His status in the school continued to decline, and after only half a year, everyone abandoned him. It has been three months, and this semester is about to end. Sun Tianchou's eyes are swollen from reading, and he just finished reading "Three Kingdoms" and "Book of Jin", and this semester is over.As soon as the holidays came, Sun Tianchou visited the people from town to town to record the rumors.He first walked along the Jinsha River valley, and then along the Niulan River valley.This holiday, I finished the entire Miliangba County.Only then did I realize that Miliangba is actually just a big red mountain standing alone in the middle.The cliffs are connected by steep ridges, and the ditch is long and deep.Erosion is serious, and rockslides, landslides, and mudslides continue.From the Han Dynasty to the present, Miliangba landslides have caused the Jinsha River to stop flowing five times.During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a landslide in Miliangba. A mountain jumped over the Jinsha River, jumped across the river, and jumped from Yunnan to Sichuan. Yunnan called it "Stone Dragon Crossing the River", and Sichuan called it "Yunnan Stone Moving Sichuan".The traffic was difficult. Until the Communist Party came to power, Miliangba's external traffic was carried out by post roads.For hundreds of years, the people of the whole county have been building post roads.The first is to be built by common people, the second is to be built with donations from large households, the third is to be built by Biaoyouying Mansion, and the fourth is to be built by those who have accumulated virtue and practiced good deeds.In the Qing Dynasty, the post roads were all equipped with flood defenses, each with a general and a hundred troops stationed there.The rice passage leading to Wumeng from Miliangba County is full of cliffs, facing an abyss, and people dare not cross.From the fifty-second to fifty-sixth years of Qianlong, Liu Handing, a native of Miliangba, donated money to build the Majingzipo post road, which is called "mason house".Miliangba respectfully called Liu Handing "Liu Gong", and the county annals wrote a biography for him.In the seventh year of Guangxu, Wang Shitai and Xia Yongshun from Jiangxi donated thousands of taels of silver to dig a one-kilometer tunnel between the cliffs, which can accommodate sedan chairs and horses, and built a ten-meter-long iron cable bridge between the cliffs at the exit.Until now, the roads connecting the whole county of Miliangba have to climb up from an altitude of several hundred meters to Dahong Mountain, which is nearly 4,000 meters above sea level, before they can cross the mountain and go to the other side, like a chicken paw.From any place in the county to another place, you have to go through Dahong Mountain.Dahongshan is like an autocratic demon king, and any place has to have a single-line connection with it, and they are not allowed to connect directly without it.Many township governments do not have access to roads.There is not an inch of asphalt road in the whole county.It is surrounded by two rivers on both sides.Neither river is navigable.The Jinsha River has 19 dangerous shoals in the area of ​​Miliangba County.In the thirty-sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yuanhan, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, developed Jinsha River shipping.During the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty, copper transportation was difficult. To protect the capital, copper was used for casting coins. Ertai initiated it and Qingfu strongly advocated it. The governor of Yunnan Zhang Yunsui was in charge of dredging the Jinsha River water transportation.In the seventh year of Qianlong's reign, 800,000 people were mobilized, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were consumed. Only part of the flight section was opened, from the entrance of the Xiaojiang River in Miliangba Hall, Wumeng Prefecture, to Huangping, Yongshan.In the 14th year of Qianlong's reign, due to the difficulty of navigation due to dangerous beaches, land transportation was still used.The Anti-Japanese War broke out in the 26th year of the Republic of China, and the eastern part was completely occupied. In order to break the Japanese blockade, the government of the Republic of China was eager to dredge the Jinsha River waterway. In February of the following year, a team led by Wang Wei and Zhang Guanlun set off from Kunming and entered the Jinsha River along the Pudu River. , intending to go down the Jinsha River directly to Sichuan, and investigate the water flow, beach mouth, mileage, and sailing conditions along the river.In the thirty-first year of the Republic of China, the Ministry of Communications of the Republic of China government sent inspector Wan Zong to lead a trial voyage, and it crashed at the Miliang Dam section. Six people died in the Miliang Dam section, and several of them were foreigners.The development of the Jinsha River had to be shelved.After the Communist Party came to power, it has repeatedly repaired the waterway of the Jinsha River and blasted rocks to break up the beach, but to no avail.There is not a bridge on the two rivers of nearly 500 kilometers.There are nine ferry crossings on the two rivers in the county, and small wooden boats are used to ferry people. There are very few motorized boats.extremely dangerous.In addition, in some places, the valleys are deep and the water is fast. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, rattan and bamboo woven cables were used to fasten the two sides of the bank, called ziplines.A wooden chute about 30 centimeters long is put on the zipper rope, and an oval ring with a length of 1 meter is fixed on the zipper, and a rope is tied to the ring, which is three to five meters away from the river surface.Hanging on the river like a spider's thread.Over the years, Sun Tianchou has heard news from time to time that the ship capsized here, the rope broke there, and how many people died.Provincial newspapers often published news that the Miliang Dam shipwrecked and dozens of people died.Dahong Mountain stretches in all directions, forming the mountains and rivers of Miliangba County.The largest piece of flat land in the county is Miliang Dam, which is less than half a square kilometer, and it is not flat, it is a slope.There is not a township government in the county that is not on the slope.Many township governments cannot afford to build a straight street.In some township governments, there are cliffs next to the streets, and there are no houses.Looking at other mountains from a high mountain, I saw heavy ridges.Those lands are like big-character posters pasted on the wall on a slope that slopes up to 70 or 80 degrees.Also like some tattered clothes hanging on a line.That ridge is the clothesline, which is overwhelmed and seems to be broken.Many houses, on the steep hills, are not standing on the hills, but hanging like birdcages on the outer wall of the houses of the people living in the rice grain dam.As long as the hook on the top is broken, the birdcage will fall down the stairs.The same goes for these houses, as long as you don't pay attention, they will fall off the cliff.No matter whether he went up or down the mountain, Sun Tianchou felt that if he went up and down the stairs in Miliangba, there would be a difference in height every step he took. Due to mining over the years, Miliangba forest has been completely destroyed.The largest mudslide in the county is 12 kilometers long and breaks out more than 10 to 30 times a year.When the scale is large, the total amount of debris flow reaches 370,000 cubic meters, and the duration lasts for 12 hours. The maximum instantaneous faucet flow rate is 2,400 cubic meters per second. In a valley with a slope of 6.5%, the maximum flow rate Fifteen meters per second.In Dingsi year, there were 170 bursts of debris flow, with a total volume of 180,000 cubic meters, a measured capacity of 2.2 tons per cubic meter, and an impact force of more than 60 tons per cubic meter.Miliangba mudslides occur frequently and on a huge scale, which is rare in the world. It is said to be the second largest mudslide in the world.In the year of Renshu, the Chengdu Institute of Geography established an observation station in Miliangba County to undertake key projects of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and conduct research on the formation mechanism, movement characteristics and comprehensive management of debris flows.
