The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

(I felt that the last chapter was not well written, and I added another paragraph today.)

Tianjin, Nankai University.

Xu Zhimo, dressed in a suit, is preaching his philosophy of poetry to the teachers and students of the school: "There are really good people, really bad people, fake people and useless people. Poetry also has real poetry, bad poetry and similar poetry. Really good people It is the character that is naturally revealed when the personality is harmonious, and a good poem is the product of the harmonious emotion that is naturally revealed...The essence of poetry is inspiration, spirituality and experience. Whether it is from the eyebrows of a lover, or from bending over to grow vegetables In the singing of a country girl, as soon as inspiration comes, tricks come out, and the result is poetry and beauty, so beautiful that even the poet himself is surprised..."

Xu Zhimo spoke on the stage, and the students took notes off the stage. From time to time, some people raised their hands to raise doubts, and Xu Zhimo answered them one by one with ease.

Well, Xu Zhimo is actually here to make money.

He is about to marry Lu Xiaoman, but his father Xu Shenru firmly opposes it. Later, he reluctantly agreed, but made a request, that is, Xu Zhimo's marriage expenses must be settled by himself.

In order to raise money for the wedding, Xu Zhimo went around picking up jobs during this period, and gave seven or eight speeches in a month.

"Papa papa!" The audience applauded.

Xu Zhimo bowed down to salute, and was about to retreat when a student suddenly stood up and asked, "Mr. Xu, can your poetry save the country?"

This was obviously here to stir up trouble, Xu Zhimo looked a little unhappy, and he replied: "Although poetry cannot save the country, poets can love the country."

Another student asked: "What do you think of the education of Concubine Dao Duanfa?"

Xu Zhimo said: "I deeply admire Concubine Dao."

"The Southern Revolutionary Army is making a northern expedition. Do you think they can succeed?" the student continued to ask.

Xu Zhimo said: "Today we only talk about poetry, not politics and military affairs."

Feeling that he couldn't stay any longer, Xu Zhimo bowed again and stepped back from the stage without giving the students time to ask questions. Immediately, there were many fans holding Xu Zhimo's poetry magazines and looking for him to sign, and their fanaticism was not weaker than that of later generations of stars.

The weather was hot in summer, Xu Zhi left the school rubbing his sweat, and took a rickshaw to deliver the wedding invitations. He also has a few friends in Tianjin, and this trip happened to invite him personally.

When the rickshaw passed the police station, Xu Zhimo saw a group of people surrounding the roadside, and the sound of beating and beating came from there.

"What?"

"Stacking the donation box."

"It's the sword concubine!"

"Concubine Dao is here too, everyone come and see!"

"..."

I saw Wenxiu standing on the steps in front of the police station, pointing to the wooden box just fixed next to it, waving a small flag and saying: "This is the hope donation box, and every penny in it will be used to start education. As long as Let us all work together, and one day, children all over China will be able to go to school..."

"good!"

There was a lot of applause, but no one was willing to donate money, and everyone was watching the excitement.

At this moment, a beggar in ragged clothes and messy hair squeezed into the crowd and shouted: "Rang Rang, Rang Rang, I want to donate money!"

"Hahahaha, it's strange that beggars also donate money."

"For a beggar, would you donate the steamed buns you begged for today?"

"Isn't this Feng San'er? I lost my family property by eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and now I am a beggar and still show kindness?"

"..."

"What's the matter with the beggar? What's the matter with the beggar!" Feng San screamed at the top of his voice, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, man, donate today!"

He took out more than a dozen copper coins from his pocket, thought for a while and stuffed a few back, and put the rest into the donation box.

Tong Zi'er hit the wooden box and made a "chop chop chop" sound, and the scene was suddenly quiet.

"good!"

"Enough man!"

The onlookers suddenly burst into applause.

Feng San greeted everyone with cupped fists, grinning and said: "I, Feng Lao San, am also a decent person today!"

"parking!"

Xu Zhimo looked at the beggar who was covered in filth and tattered clothes, and suddenly he was deeply touched and had the urge to write poetry. He took out his money bag, counted ten silver dollars, went to the donation box, and carefully put it in.

"Thank you, thank you two gentlemen!" Wenxiu bowed to the beggar and Xu Zhimo.

Seeing Wenxiu salute him, Feng San hurriedly saluted back, and then laughed loudly: "See, the imperial concubine saluted Feng Laosan!"

"Good job, I'll donate a few too!" Someone responded immediately.

More than 20 people donated money one after another, but they were all copper coins, which added up to one or two yuan at most.

There were reporters taking pictures at the scene, Xu Zhimo didn't want to get involved, so he returned to the rickshaw silently and let the driver continue on his way. After visiting several friends, Xu Zhimo drove to the concession again, and went straight to the newspaper office of "Ta Kung Pao".

Now that the serialization of "The Rise of Great Powers" has ended, the Russian and Japanese chapters have caused great controversy. Because Zhou Hexuan predicted the rise of Soviet Russia in the article, and discussed Japan's mainland policy. He also said that Soviet Russia and Japan were a great threat to China and were constantly encroaching on China's territory. He hoped that the government and local warlords would pay attention.

There are many Chinese people who hold this point of view, but Zhou Hexuan came to this conclusion after in-depth analysis. The article reads with reason and evidence, which makes people have to believe it.

Both the pro-Soviet faction and the pro-Japanese faction expressed their dissatisfaction with Zhou Hexuan more or less, and pushed Zhou Hexuan to the forefront for a while. As for the Soviet Union and Japan, there was no reaction. After all, Zhou Hexuan wrote academic articles and published them in British newspapers. It is impossible for the governments of the two countries to protest against Britain.

Although Xu Zhimo didn't know such an influential figure, he wanted to pay a visit. In addition to sending wedding invitations, he also has another task, which is to invite Zhou Hexuan to join the Literature Research Association entrusted by Zheng Zhenduo.

"Bang bang bang!"

Xu Zhimo knocked on the door of the president's room.

"Come in!"

Xu Zhimo opened the door and entered, adjusted his glasses and said, "Mr. Zhou, my humble servant Xu Zhimo."

"So it's the great poet Xu, please come in!" Zhou Hexuan was quite surprised, not knowing what Xu Zhimo asked him for.

Xu Zhimo went to the desk and sat down, glanced at the manuscript on the desk and asked, "Mr. Zhou is writing again?"

"Compiling textbooks." Zhou Hexuan stood up and poured water for Xu Zhimo.

Nowadays, the education in the Republic of China is extremely chaotic. There is not even a unified teaching material for the whole country.

"Mr. Zhou really devotes himself to education, I admire you." Xu Zhimo praised sincerely. He is also a patriotic young man. He stayed abroad after being fed up with warlord melee. At first he wanted to find a way to save the country. He was studying political economics. Unfortunately, his reading was wrong, and he finally devoted himself to poetry creation.

After chatting with each other for a few words, Zhou Hexuan asked, "Why is Mr. Xu looking for me?"

"It's like this. Mr. Zheng Zhenduo knew that I was coming to Tianjin, so he specially entrusted me to invite Mr. Zhou to join the Literature Research Association," Xu Zhimo said, and took out another invitation card. "Also, I will get married on October 3. If Mr. Zhou If you are free, I hope to come to Beiping to attend my wedding."
