Chapter 150 Dependence - the prosperity of a country is not due to its large population

In February 1920, Zhang Jingsheng, a doctor of philosophy who studied at the University of Lyon in France and returned to China, wrote to Chen Jiongming, advocating family planning.In his proposal, he said: "The prosperity of a country does not lie in its large population, but in the fact that everyone is qualified to be someone." After the book, I thought it was satirizing myself, dismissed it as fallacy, and said to the people around me: "This man must be crazy!" When Jiang Guangchi's revolutionary novels were published, almost no revolutionaries read them.Everyone has deep prejudices against Chiang and his writing, and against new literature in general.Chen Duxiu flipped through "The Young Drifter" and said, "Even though it's a hot day, my capillaries will still stand up."

When Zhang Guotao first arrived in the base areas of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, he commanded the Red Army soldiers to fight several victories, and for a while he had the reputation of "Sai Zhuge" from the central government.Once, the officers and soldiers of the Independence Regiment returned to the station after winning a battle. The peasants congratulated the soldiers along the way. Seeing Zhang Guotao sitting in a sedan chair, some people thought that Zhang was a captured local tyrant and said, "Why don't you put him on all fours?" Or say: "What a fat pig! It's worth the ocean!" The soldiers hurriedly corrected him, "Don't talk nonsense, he is our center."

Lu Xun once said "save the children". In the 1920s, Gao Changhong had a falling out with Lu Xun. Because Lu Xun said he was old at the age of 45, Gao thought it was a "degeneration of spirit".Gao Changhong borrowed Lu Xun's words and asked: "Is there an old man who no longer eats people? Save the old man!!!" Hu Shi likes to talk about politics, but what he talks about stirs up muddy waters.He once stood on the side of the warlords and slandered the Kuomintang, causing dissatisfaction among public opinion and young students. Zhang Nanxian, a veteran Kuomintang member, criticized him and said: "Warlords are rampant, rely on politicians to correct them; politicians are despicable, rely on scholars to correct them; Now that scholars add this again, the suffering people of our country will never have peace.” The warlords and the Beiyang government were not interested in him either, and Bai Jianwu, Wu Peifu’s military adviser, warned him: “As a personal friend, I look forward to seeing you in the future. Speech should be more prudent and higher.” Tang Erhe, who was the Minister of Education in the Beiyang government, also persuaded him as a friend: “I advise you not to talk about politics. I thought it made sense. When I went to the government to have a look, it turned out that it was not the same thing at all! Almost none of what you said scratched the itch. You said it was one world, but we walked in another world. So I I advise you not to talk about politics."

After the failure of the Great Revolution, Chen Duxiu buried himself in philology, but stood outside the circle of struggle within the party.This attitude makes his enemies say that he despises them for pride, and disdains to fight them.Peng Shuzhi said that he maintained "Oriental political morality" and was not suitable for modern struggles. Chen Jitang said to Hu Shi: "I advocate reading scriptures, worshiping Confucius, and worshiping Guanyue. I have my reasons." He believes that production and construction can be scientific, but a person must have a foundation. It must be sought in the ancient culture of the country.Hu Shi said: scientific knowledge is needed in production, and scientific knowledge is also needed in life.Chen said: "You all forget your origins! Didn't our five thousand-year-old ancestors know how to be human?"

Lu Xun once said that justice is on their side, so what does their justice have to do with us?And speaking of it this way, some people will stare at me angrily, because the masses belong to them, and comrades belong to them, so what do I have?Well, let's just say it doesn't concern me, so I become an individualist. In September 1931, the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Association was established and decided to organize a petition group to Beijing.After arriving in Nanjing, he went to the Central Military Academy with the Tianjin student petition group to meet Chiang Kai-shek. Gao Chongmin made a generous speech and asked Chiang to lead his troops to the north to regain the lost ground in the Northeast.He said: "The efforts made by the people of the Northeast to promote reunification and defend the country are worthy of the central government. However, since the enemy invaded, the central government has not sent a single soldier or made a clear statement of resistance to Japan. Are you sorry for the people of the Northeast?" Jiang blushed and became angry from embarrassment, and said: "The Northeast is lost, and the people from the Northeast can come to petition, but Tianjin is not lost, so why do the students from Tianjin come to ask for it?" As a result, the petition group became even more angry, shouting and cursing The sound is endless.

When Hu Shi was the principal of Peking University, students rioted and surrounded Hu Shi in his office. Hu Shi said, "If you don't leave, I will make a phone call, and you will be arrested."
