The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

The students of Shanghai Jiaotong University are really good. The graduation commemorative magazine they produced is completely self-sufficient by the students.

What should I do if I have no money to print?

Pull advertising sponsorship ah!

Then a very weird picture appeared, I opened the graduation commemorative magazine, and this page still said that everyone participated in a certain event in a certain year and a certain month, all kinds of nostalgia and sensationalism. And when I turned to the next page, several advertisements suddenly popped up, just like the brochures of later generations of infertility hospitals.

Zhou Hexuan glanced at the graduates present, he liked the spirit of the students of Shanghai Jiaotong University very much. Every boy wears a standard Zhongshan suit, full of vigor and vigor, unlike Tsinghua University and Peking University, where there are everything from gowns, suits, and uniforms, and there are even students who wear mandarin jackets all day long.

Of course, you can also say that Peking University and Tsinghua University are full of flowers and inclusive, depending on the angle of understanding.

Speaking of school uniforms, Zhou Hexuan was also drunk. Recently, he has given speeches in several schools in Shanghai. The most lively event in Shanghai's education circle is probably the "School Uniform Movement".

The education circle in Shanghai is completely flattering Chang Kaishen, actively responding to Chiang Kai-shek's "New Life Movement", and once again formulating strict student uniform regulations, calling on all students to be uniform. This is not only true of universities and middle schools in the city, but also of elementary schools in the suburbs.

It is a good thing for students to wear school uniforms, but I am afraid of overcorrecting.

If strictly following the regulations of the Shanghai Municipal Education Bureau, middle and high school students need to prepare three sets of uniforms.

For example, high school boys need to have a set of gray woolen school uniform (including hat), the price is 6 yuan, and a gray woolen coat and camel hair lining, the price is 8 yuan. In addition, two sets of yellow cloth student clothes (including hats) are required, and the price is 6 yuan.

The price of the three sets of student uniforms adds up to 26 yuan, while the monthly salary of ordinary workers in Shanghai is only 5 yuan. How can students from the bottom of the grassroots afford it?

As soon as the new dress code issued by the Shanghai Municipal Education Bureau, it immediately aroused doubts from all walks of life. Wu Yongjiu pointed out in the semi-monthly "Jinxue": "Unifying school uniforms does not take into account the common people in the city and the vast rural areas. For poor families, brother's clothes are worn by brothers, father's and son's clothes are worn by brothers, and the size is the same. There is no other way, and I dare not give up old clothes... If you ask them to pay for uniforms, it is tantamount to denying their children from school.”

Chang Kaishen's advocacy of the "New Life Movement" is a good thing, and it can greatly improve the national spirit. But once the central government's decree reaches the local level, it will be 100% deformed, and good governance will also turn into a government that harms the people.

In order to flatter Chiang Kai-shek, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Education ordered all students in the city to dress uniformly. As a result, many poor students were forced not to study because they could not afford school uniforms.

How absurd!

This is not only the case in Shanghai, but also in the whole country. Education bureaus around the world have formulated their own school uniform standards, making it difficult for students who cannot afford school uniforms.

The "New Life Movement" is like this in the field of education, and it is also like this in other fields.

Those officials are so crazy, they don't consider the actual situation on the ground at all. In order to flatter the central government, they sent people to Nanjing, Shanghai and other big cities to learn scriptures, and then copied them back home, making the local people miserable.

...

At the graduation ceremony, Principal Li Zhaohuan first spoke on stage, followed by the graduate representative. The whole process was similar to that of later generations.

Immediately afterwards, the student host said: "Today, we are honored to invite Mr. Zhou Hexuan to attend the 23rd graduation ceremony of Jiaotong University. Next, I would like to invite Mr. Zhou to say a few words for everyone!"

Zhou Hexuan happily came to the stage, holding a tin horn and said: "Your graduation trip has traveled far enough. I heard that you all drove the train to Tianjin. Why didn't you take me with you when you went back? It would save me Two tickets."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

There was a burst of laughter from the students under the stage.

Zhou Hexuan suddenly put away his smile, and said seriously: "This time I am going south from Tianjin, and I am riding on the latest imported steam locomotive. The theoretical maximum speed is close to 140 kilometers per hour. Is it fast? Very fast! But what I want to say is that the British The steam train has reached a top speed of 150 kilometers per hour. The Japanese have just opened the express operation line from Changchun to Dalian in the northeast. Although the speed of the Pacific 7 steam locomotive they use is only 85 kilometers per hour, it is actually a test. car. It uses a streamlined locomotive, which is specially used to test high-speed impact, and is studying the practicability of an internal combustion engine locomotive. I heard from a Japanese friend that Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries is developing a locomotive with a speed of 160 kilometers per hour. Their locomotive is using It was designed in an aircraft wind tunnel!"

The Jiaotong University graduates here are basically majors in train-related majors. The same is true for Qian Xuesen, who majored in mechanical and power engineering.

At the beginning, everyone was laughing because of Zhou Hexuan's joke, but when Zhou Hexuan mentioned the trains between Britain and Japan, everyone immediately became silent.

"Shame!"

Zhou Hexuan said loudly: "Japanese locomotives are actually being tested on Chinese railways. They are constantly developing and absorbing China's blood to develop, and their technology will become more and more developed! Students, you are all China's most precious Science and engineering talents. I only hope that today’s graduation is not the end, but a new beginning. I hope you will use your scientific talents to contribute to the prosperity and strength of China. The current situation in China is very bad, not only the scientific research is not as good as Japan , the industrial foundation is even worse. The Japanese are already using aircraft wind tunnels to study new trains. But China doesn’t even have its own wind tunnels. I hope that one day, the Chinese people’s own wind tunnels will come from those present The hands of the students. Thank you!"

Zhou Hexuan bowed and retreated, while the students applauded with stern faces.

Principal Li Zhaohuan shook hands with Zhou Hexuan and said, "Mr. Zhou, you are right, we must catch up!"

Just as Zhou Hexuan was about to speak, he suddenly saw a graduate standing up, raised his fist and shouted: "Masters, let us fight for the rise of China!"

"Strive for the rise of China!"

In response to all calls, other graduates shouted one after another, and their voices were mixed with aggrieved and angry.

Li Zhaohuan was very satisfied with this, he felt that it was right to invite Zhou Hexuan this time. He himself is a scholar-bureaucrat, so he doesn't know how to play sensationalism in speeches, and he doesn't have the ability to mobilize students' emotions.

As the time approached noon, the graduates went to the Baxianqiao Youth Association collectively, where there was a meal prepared by the school for them.

Zhou Hexuan was also invited to go there together, and was taken by teachers and students to take various group photos.

Not long after, the graduation autograph book filled with students' names was handed over to Zhou Hexuan. The student representative turned to a blank page, took a pen and ink and said, "Mr. Zhou, please write something for us."

Zhou Hexuan lifted the brush confidently. He has already practiced brush calligraphy, and he is not as afraid of embarrassment as before. Immediately wrote a beautiful running script: "Don't worry about having a position, worry about standing; don't worry about not knowing yourself, ask for what you know! ——Zhou Hexuan"

"Good!" All the students applauded.

The two sentences written by Zhou Hexuan were said by Confucius, and they roughly mean: Don’t be afraid of not having an official position (suitable position), but to see if you have the ability to stand on your own. Don't be afraid that no one will know you, but whether your talent is enough for everyone to know.

Zhou Hexuan was very satisfied with the calligraphy he left behind. Although he was not as good as those top calligraphers, he definitely surpassed the second son Yuan who sold calligraphy everywhere.
