Chapter 115 Section 9 Tolstoy gave the Chinese revolution a sap

If it is said that Sun Wen's republican thought is not systematic, and he just borrows a little from something, then Zhang Binglin doesn't even have the ability to borrow something. Zhang Binglin was jokingly called Zhang Crazy by the world. His biggest problem was hitting people before he could say a few words.Once when he was eating, he was discussing with Huang Xing while eating, but he suddenly lost his temper, picked up his job bowl and slammed it on Huang Xing's forehead, causing Huang Xing's face to be covered in blood, but Huang Xing could only embarrass Sorry for laughing - he can't go crazy and you go crazy too, right?If you are beaten by a lunatic, you can only suffer from being dumb, and if you change someone, you can only admit that you are unlucky.

Zhang Binglin has too many lunatics. When this person first arrived in Japan, the police department came to check his household registration and asked him to fill out a form. Zhang Binglin filled it out like this: Parentage: illegitimate child. Occupation: Saint. Age: Longevity is boundless. ... Who can believe that he is so crazy even filling out a form, saying that he is insane? The reason why Zhang Binglin went crazy was because he was more annoyed, probably because he had learned more than anyone before and after. He is a heavyweight master of Chinese studies, but in the mind of this master of Chinese studies, knowledge and learning piled up like a hill , placed together in a disorderly manner, but it just didn't ferment and produce great ideas.If you only have knowledge but do not form your own exclusive thoughts, you have to drop your book bags and eventually become a pedantic old Dong Hong, a nerd.Not only Zhang Binglin, this kind of thing would drive anyone crazy.

Sun Wen can lead the group with his hodgepodge of thoughts, but others don’t even have hodgepodge in their minds, so if you don’t read more ancient books than anyone else regardless of knowledge, and only see whose thoughts are more valuable, then Sun Wen is at least better than others. Zhang Binglin was half a square taller. The leader's thinking is only half a block higher than that of his subordinates. This is really a dangerous thing. You must know that just above this half block, there is a real ideological teacher Zou Rong. If this young man hadn't exhausted himself If he dies in prison because of his energy, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Sun Wen to have a big influence.

What's more dangerous is that once someone on the same level as Zou Rong appears again, Sun Wen's authority will be strongly challenged. Just at this juncture, this great thinker who is qualified to be compared with Zou Rong has really come. And two came at once: Liu Shipei and He Zhen! What is the history of these two people?Why do you say they are thinkers? Liu Shipei and He Zhen were a loving young couple. While loving each other, they pondered revolutionary ideas. At that time, Liu Shipei even gave himself a pseudonym called "The First Person of the Fierce Sect", which means that the people in the world I am the most revolutionary, no one can compare to me.This loving couple made a big fuss in Shanghai, advocating the racial revolution. The magistrates were so shocked that they wanted to cry, and begged them to go to another place to go to the revolution... So Liu Shipei and his wife went to Tokyo, and lived with Zhang Binglin, and lived together. Explore the road to revolution.

The main topic of the three people is: Gu Hongming, who has small feet and braids. This Gu Hongming worked as an aide under Zhang Zhidong, the governor of the two lakes. This person is well-versed in both Chinese and Western languages, and understands foreign dialects in seven or eight countries. Every time he goes abroad, he deliberately drags his big braids, singles out the place with the most foreigners, and takes a newspaper of foreigners. Looking at it the other way around, when all the foreigners were amazed and laughed so hard, Gu Hongming put away the newspaper and recited the news in the newspaper in foreign dialect, which shocked countless foreigners.

Gu Hongming studied Western learning too deeply and knew its disadvantages. Unfortunately, he turned around and fell into the quagmire of nationalism. He traveled all over the world, gave public lectures, and persuaded Western countries to follow the example of China, abolish monogamy, and establish polygamy system, polygamy is good, as long as it is good, it is good... Gu Hongming's advocacy of polygamy is aimed at annoying Western women and deliberately causing trouble.Sure enough, many Western women went to openly debate with him, thinking that the social system of polygamy is not as good as polyandry, and men's endurance is obviously not as good as that of women, so polyandry is more scientific.

So Gu Hongming said with a smile: Have you seen the teapot and tea bowl?This teapot is a man, and this teacup is a woman. There has always been a teapot with several teacups. Who has seen a teacup with several teapots? Such a clever metaphor made the Western woman who insisted on polyandry dumbfounded and had nothing to say. In short, Gu Hongming intended to publicize the quintessence of traditional Chinese culture and attack the disadvantages of Western learning with shocking theories. It was no longer exciting just to argue with foreign women. He chose Tolstoy, a great Russian writer, to start, and in 1906, through the Russian Consulate General in Shanghai, he sent Tolstoy his own book written in English:

One is "Respecting the King", and the other is "Today, Emperors, Please Think Deeply!On the Moral Causes of the Russo-Japanese War"...Looking at these two titles alone, it looks like two articles rather than two books. After the great writer Tolstoy received these two books, he wrote a reply letter shortly afterwards: "Letter to a Chinese".Published in the German version of "New Free Press", the French version of "Europa Post" and the Japanese version of "Osaka Mainichi Shimbun". The letter said: In China's recent years, the impetuous Lun, aiming at the new party, believes that reforming China is nothing more than imitating Western methods.There are those who speak to suggest a representative regime, those who speak to revitalize the army and navy, and those who speak to revitalize the commercial industry of Western law.Discussions are clamoring, as thick as beetles.This is not only a shallow and clumsy talk, but also a foolish solution.Based on what I know from China, this system actually runs counter to the Chinese nation.Today, the legal system, military system, and industry are all important things, but the Westerners have followed suit, but the agricultural life in China has been lost at once.

The translation of Tolstoy's letter is not very clear. If it is translated again, there will be only one sentence - beware of the peaceful evolution of the Qing Dynasty by Western capitalist countries. Conservative agricultural life, believe in the three teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and the disaster will disappear." Tolstoy asked the Chinese to stay in the farming era and not learn from foreigners to move forward to modern civilization. This letter was nothing more than a sap, which stunned everyone in the League and fell into confusion.
