Chapter 78 Insight - half of our country will not fall to the enemy

In 1923, when Jiang Baili and Gong Hao returned to Beijing and passed through Xuzhou, Jiang suddenly had a feeling: "One day in the future, when we fight against Japan, the Jinpu and Jinghan routes will be occupied by the Japanese army. Our national defense should be based on Sanyang. That is, Luoyang, Xiangyang, and Hengyang." Hearing this mythical and strange theory, Gong felt that Jiang was too sensitive, and thought to himself, "In the future, China and Japan will go to war. No matter what, half of our country will not fall to the enemy." Gu Weijun thought that China's affairs were difficult to handle, especially diplomacy.He believes that the object of internal affairs is the people, and the object of foreign affairs is the country.In domestic affairs, sometimes you can charge a lot of money and write a bad promise. Anyway, the people are ignorant and powerless, and they can't do anything to you.As for diplomacy, it must be genuine, not fake, and not demand a high price, otherwise it will be boring and reap the consequences.He once said: "Since the Paris Peace Conference, I have dealt with a lot of China's diplomacy. The problem I have made is that everyone asks for prices randomly. Suffering."

Gu Weijun believes that in diplomacy, one must be able to fight and also give way.When you fight, you must fight, and when you give way, you must give way.All I want to do is to give an order and force the other party to accept my order.In some diplomatic incidents, the crowd became emotional and shouted the slogan "it is better to die than to die".Gu Weijun was most disgusted by this point.He said: "A nation, a country, is a matter for generations to come. People of our generation can only be the home of this generation, where can they be the home of generations to come? Individuals can also be 'broken jade', a nation, is 'Jade Broken' is unacceptable."

The last time Chen Duxiu was arrested, the lawyer who defended him was Zhang Shizhao, the leader of the Jiayin faction.His defense was subsequently published in Shanghai's "Shenbao" under the title "Is the Party the State?" Zhang Shizhao said: "Chen Duxiu "is not harmful to the country. The Kuomintang cannot represent the country. Is it endangering the Republic of China?" At the end of 1931, Zhu Jiahua was appointed Minister of Education.He is in charge of national culture and education and has made great achievements.His belief is: "When we teach and participate in central politics today, we must at least do something for culture and education." He pays attention to education reform and strives to promote the modernization of China's education system. He said: Higher education "should be enriched, not extravagant , we must improve the level of research and academics, and pay attention to the cultivation of practical talents”; secondary education “should meet the needs of society and help the people’s livelihood”;

In 1932, shortly after Xu Deheng was released from prison, Yang Xingfo approached him and asked him to join the Civil Rights Protection League.Xu said, "I can't even protect my own human rights, but I still protect other people's civil rights." Yang Xingfo replied, "We just need people like you to protect civil rights." In 1933, Li Roushi and other "Five Martyrs of the Left League" were killed for two full years, and newspapers at that time did not dare to report this matter. Shi Zhecun, editor of "Modern" magazine, later recalled that Lu Xun's famous article "In Memory of Forgetting", "This article was left in the editorial rooms of two magazines for several days. The editor did not dare to use it, so he forwarded it to I".Shi Ye "was a bit hesitant" and "did not dare to make a decision", "ask the boss, Mr. Zhang Jinglu, to make up his mind. After reading it, Zhang hesitated, and after two or three days of consideration, he resolutely decided: go! The reasons are: first, he was reluctant to part with Lu Xun's article Ordinary masterpieces were killed, or were given the honor of being published by other publications; second, after careful study, this article did not directly offend the ruler's sentence, and it was published in the concession, which is not worthy of any serious crime."

After Lu Xun's death, Ye Gongchao spent a few weeks rereading all of Lu Xun's works. Ye Zanyang said: "Sometimes when I read his mixed feelings, I feel that his words are good, and at the same time I feel that he is 'aiming'. (Lu Xun loves to use all kinds of military terms) the target is really not worth a bullet. Neither the person who scolded him nor the person who was scolded by him is equal to him in any respect." Hu Shi blamed Ye Gongchao and said: "Lu Xun died during his lifetime. You can’t even spit on your head, so why did you write such a long article to praise him?” Ye said: “People belong to people, and articles belong to articles, and one’s literary achievements cannot be denied just because of people.”

Fu Sinian once said to Hu Shi: "We must have our own methods. Once we enter the government, we will have nothing to do. Instead of joining the government, it is better to form a party; instead of forming a party, it is better to run a newspaper." In the opposition, once Gai entered the government, he was unable to fight.” When Fei Gong was young, he returned to China via the Soviet Union. A friend asked him his impression of the Soviet Union. He said: "The overall impression is not bad, there are many new things, but I don't like to force people to accept a certain idea. Standardize thinking. I hope to explain the truth clearly to the people, and let the people compare and choose freely." The friend said: "You are a typical liberal!" Fei Gong replied: "No matter what doctrine you say I am, I love this free atmosphere, and I believe that everyone has a brain, and they have the ability to judge right from wrong."
