Chapter 57 Writing in the Republic of China (56)

The appearance of Nakamura Ryota once again reminded Le Jing of the approaching war.

The Anti-Japanese War was the most brutal war ever fought on Chinese soil.

Lasting for 14 years, China suffered 35 million civilian casualties and displaced hundreds of millions of people, causing direct economic losses of US$100 billion and indirect economic losses of US$500 billion to China...

It was the most embarrassing moment in the history of this country called China: the capital was massacred, 22 provinces across the country fell, and the national army retreated steadily. Finally, they had to retreat to Chongqing, located in the southwest inland, to meet enemy aircraft again and again. bombing.

So embarrassed, so desperate.

So desperate that the father sent his son to the battlefield with a "die" flag, and the mother sent away all her sons to fight in the East; so desperate that men disappeared from the villages in the north and south of the Yangtze River, and many villages were renamed "widow villages"; so desperate that countless Chinese and overseas Chinese formed The death squads returned home to join the war; they were so desperate that 13- and 14-year-old children also went to the battlefield and fought with the enemy with bayonets; they were so desperate that the government shouted the most tragic slogan - "One inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, one hundred thousand young people and one hundred thousand soldiers"... …

When despair reaches the end...the sad soldiers will win.

Le Jing knew that the night would eventually dissipate, the war would be won, the Chinese people would stand up, and they would regain their pride as a great nation.

He was just a weak scholar who could not influence the situation of the war. He could only use the pen in his hand to provide spiritual support and support to the soldiers and the people.

"The Way of the Animals" made Le Jing an instant hit, and the pen name Night Watchman also successfully spread across the country, becoming known to more people.

While people started to criticize this work in newspapers, they also aroused curiosity about the author.

What kind of person is the Night Watchman? Where did he get such deep experience and insights at such a young age? What was his thinking behind creating "The Way of Animals"? As the original author, how would he interpret his work?

Driven by all kinds of curiosity and doubts, the Literary Society of National Peking University sent an invitation letter to Literary Journal, inviting Le Jing to give a lecture at their school.

When Yang Jinglun brought the invitation letter to Le Jing, Le Jing was doing his Chinese homework.

After all, he is a Xibei from the future, and his classical Chinese skills cannot be compared with the scholars of this era who have been enlightened by the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood. This also caused Le Jing to be partial to science. His science scores are among the top in the class, and his history is also among the best in his grade. However, his Chinese scores are only in the middle of the class.

Mr. Bai Nianqiu, who taught him Chinese, had talked to him countless times and would give him some advice in private from time to time. Especially after Le Jing's Night Watchman pen name was revealed, Mr. Bai looked at him with even more confusion. He seemed to not understand why Le Jing had written several novels, but why was his Chinese so poor?

Yesterday, Mr. Bai called him into the office again, frowned and stared at his 75-point Chinese score, and said anxiously: "Your score is a bit too high for Tsinghua and Peking University. Your Chinese score is too high."

Le Jing:……

He really wanted to tell Mr. Bai that in fact, he really didn't have such high ambitions to study at Tsinghua University and Peking University. He really wasn't picky about universities in this era.

There were only a few universities in the Republic of China, so those who could get into university were the elite among the elite who had studied hard for more than ten years. What Le Jing received in modern times was an exam-oriented education that was biased towards quality education. In terms of hard work, he was definitely not as hard as the students in the Republic of China. In addition, Li Jingran was a scumbag and did not leave him any "intellectual legacy", so Le Jing really could not have the ambition to study at Tsinghua University or Peking University.

Universities in this era had their own propositions and independent admissions, and there were no reference materials such as "Five-year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation" and "Huanggang Secret Paper". In his opinion, he was just lucky to be able to get into college in one go.

But in Mr. Bai's view, Li Jingran is only 17 years old this year and has written so many excellent articles. He is a well-deserved pride of heaven. Although I don’t know why this proud man who relies on his pen to make a living does not do well in Chinese, but with his talent and a little hard work, wouldn’t it be easy for him to get into Tsinghua and Peking University?

Out of this love for talent, Le Jing received many Chinese test papers written by Mr. Bai independently and hundreds of recommended Chinese classics. This also led to the fact that in addition to writing novels, he could only endlessly write Chinese papers.

So when Le Jing heard Yang Jinglun say that Peking University wanted him to give a lecture, he was quite dumbfounded.

He is still worried about whether he can be admitted to Peking University. Peking University students will ask him to give lectures to them.

Originally, Lejing was not willing to participate in this kind of limelight. Le Jing also knew very well how many kilograms and taels of ink he had in his stomach. He was just taking advantage of the future.

Other organizations have also extended invitations to Lejing before, and the Peking Writers Association even invited him to join its membership! But these were all rejected by Lejing. He just wants to write quietly and is impatient to deal with these complicated personnel relationships.

But...this is Peking University!

This is Peking University, which has given birth to countless famous figures from all walks of life! When he goes to Peking University this time, he might even meet many historical celebrities!

So after much hesitation, Le Jing decided to write a reply to Peking University Literary Society and agreed to their invitation.

In the reading room of Peking University Literary Society.

Students in twos and threes stood or sat between the thick and tall solid wood bookshelves. Without exception, they all held a book in their hands and were immersed in the book.

Suddenly, there was a harsh sound of a stool leg scraping across the floor in a corner. Many students frowned and stared in the direction of the sound. Then they saw a girl with two pigtails standing up with excitement.

"Great!" The girl raised the letter in her hand and shouted loudly in the quiet reading room: "Mr. Night Watchman agreed to our invitation and will come here to give us a lecture on Saturday!"

As soon as these words came out, the students who were originally a little dissatisfied immediately became excited and surrounded the girl who was talking in three circles inside and outside, chattering and communicating.

"Really? What time on Saturday?"

"Mr. Night Watchman never shows up in public. I heard that he refused the invitation of the Peking Writers Association to hold a seminar! I didn't expect that he would accept the invitation of our club!"

"I must bring "Memoirs of a Famous Courtesan" on Saturday for Mr. to sign!"

"Why hasn't "The Animal Realm" been published yet? I really want to buy it and have Mr. to sign it!"

"My friend's younger brother is studying at Kaiming Middle School. He heard that Mr. Night Watchman is very handsome and has a gentle personality."

"Yes, yes, I heard that too. I also heard that he is very gentlemanly. , especially caring, often goes to orphanages to support orphans..."

The girl with pigtails surrounded by them is called He Jingwen, the president of Peking University Literature Society. At this time, she heard the divergent discussions of the members in groups of three or two, and hurriedly reminded: "We want Mr. to analyze his works for us this time, so when we meet Mr., the focus of our discussion should be on his works. It is forbidden to ask about Mr.'s private life."

"Got it."

"Of course!"

The sparse responses rang out, and He Jingwen looked at the members who could not hide their excitement, and deep worries still emerged in her heart.

I hope her members will not cause trouble to Mr. at the lecture on Saturday.

...

On Saturday morning, He Jingwen was blocked in the corridor in front of the club activity room, staring at the long line of people in front of her (she also saw students wearing Tsinghua school uniforms in it!) Her voice was extremely weak: "What's going on?"

The vice president smiled awkwardly: "Somehow, the news that the night watchman was coming to give a lecture spread, so not only people from our school, but also people from other universities rushed to listen to the lecture..."
