Mr. Zhu frowned slightly and did not immediately answer Lu Shanmin's question. The tea room became quiet.

Lu Shanmin did not urge him to lift the teapot and add tea to Mr. Zhu.

In fact, he could probably guess it without Mr. Zhu's answer.

If he fails to find conclusive and convincing evidence in the end, his fate will be very tragic.

This kind of misery may be more cruel than death. At that time, everything he does will become evidence of the shadow's counterattack, and will be allowed to be kneaded by the shadow, and may even be pinched into an unforgivable demon, a lackey of capital, and even a dishonor that cannot be washed away even if he dies.

Mr. Zhu looked at Lu Shanmin with some difficulty, "Shanmin, if you lose, the little background accumulated by the struggle of the three generations of the Lu family will be completely gone, and your descendants will find it difficult to turn over again."

Lu Shanmin didn't feel much trouble in his heart, and nodded and said, "I understand."

Mr. Zhu said with concern: "From the selfish point, I don't want you to do this kind of thing that makes an egg hit a stone."

Lu Shanmin looked at the four words "Sitting and watching the mountains and seas" on the wall and said slowly: "You have walked through the Long March, killed the Japanese, written books, and fought the war against the Mid and aid Korea. Which of these wars is not a war between an egg and a stone? Your generation has defended the land of China with blood and supported the Chinese nation with its backbone. I, Lu Shanmin, are just an ordinary person, and do not have the great spirit of you to sacrifice your head and shed blood for the country. However, I have to avenge my enemies, and my friends' beliefs and ideals need to be realized."

Lu Shanmin looked at Mr. Zhu calmly, "I didn't think about giving up. There was a time when I often woke up in nightmares. I dreamed that my friends and family died one by one in this war, one by one in front of me. I was afraid, I was really scared, afraid that they would kill them."

Lu Shanmin breathed out and said, "When I saw a friend of mine who was going to die, I suddenly understood a truth: what they feared was not death, what they feared was the shattered beliefs and dreams in their hearts, and what they feared was the lack of hope."

"I used to think they participated in this war entirely because of me, but gradually I found out that it was not. I had a friend named Xiao Bing. His death was because he had an ideal. He hoped that the lower class could achieve a fair chance of success through hard work. The reason he chose me was not because of how deep his feelings he had with me, but because he wanted to shape me into a banner, and the lower class could see the banner of hope."

"And Sister Mei, I also thought she died for me, but gradually I realized that she was not. She was redeeming the mistakes she had made, and at the same time she was fighting against her tragic fate. Her subconscious mind was like Xiao Bing. They all wanted to prove to this world that no matter how low the background is, they had to fight the life they wanted."

"There is also the friend I mentioned before. His name is Qi Han, a killer, an international wanted criminal. He was not a killer at the beginning. He was a soldier king in China. He accidentally killed someone in order to help his dead comrades-in-arms' family and went into exile abroad. But he always pretended to be Huaxia and wanted to do something for China. But what can he, a wanted criminal, do for the country? Nothing can be done. He was very depressed and very sad. The only thing he could do was to die. Even though he knew that his death might not produce any value, he would resolutely die."

"Actually, I know that he is telling me with death that he can't just give up."

"I can't let them die in vain."

Lu Shanmin's breathing became a little disordered, "and Zixuan,,,."

Mr. Zhu raised his hand to interrupt Lu Shanmin's words, and the atmosphere in the tea room became more solemn and depressed.

After a while, Mr. Zhu sighed deeply, "We are a country where the people are in charge of their own country. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, generations of leaders have worked hard to create a fair, just, happy and harmonious society, so that everyone can live a happy life."

"Oh"! Mr. Zhu sighed again, "I feel particularly heartbroken when I hear those friends you said."

Seeing that Mr. Zhu’s face was full of self-blame and ashamed, Lu Shanmin quickly said, “Grandpa Zhu, this is not your fault. I know this will take a process.”

Mr. Zhu nodded, "In the past ten years, China's total economic output has increased by 2.5 times, ranking second in the world. The total RMB size has increased by 3 times, foreign exchange reserves have increased by 1.8 times, and the high-speed rail mileage has increased by nearly 200 times. China's skyscrapers account for 70% of the world's total. The rapidly expanding economic scale is like a flood of water. It is anxiously looking for the boundaries of its territory, while the violently impacted part is also anxiously under the pressure and discomfort of evolving. This is a long and uncertain adjustment cycle. So far, all parties in it have not found the most suitable way to get along."

Mr. Zhu sighed, "There must be big fish in the big water. The appearance of big fish has caused the turmoil of big water. Some people have proposed a new 'Chinese threat theory', while others have predicted their fatness and death while admiring the fatness of the big fish. Even the big fish itself cannot adapt to the sudden development of its size."

Mr. Zhu looked at Lu Shanmin and said, "The country is water, and capital is fish. Big water is both eager for speed. The game between big water and other big waters, the adaptation between big water and big fish, and the collision between big fish and other big fish and small fish have created the current magnificent and chaotic situation."

"The shadow appears in such a chaotic situation."

Mr. Zhu stared at Lu Shanmin's eyes and said, "But you have to believe that our Chinese are essentially different from Western countries. Although we need capital, the purpose of our capital is to create value and wealth for the country and the people. Our essence is to let capital serve the people. However, the current situation is relatively complicated and has not yet reached its ideal state. But I believe that with the intelligence and talent of our Chinese people and the spirit of struggle that is not afraid of sacrifice, it will definitely be realized. The ideals and dreams of your friends will also be realized."

Mr. Zhu murmured: "At that time, the shadow will have no space for survival and no meaning of existence, and they will completely disappear."

After saying that, Mr. Zhu looked at Lu Shanmin with a frown slightly, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Lu Shanmin smiled slightly, "Grandpa Zhu, don't worry, I am from the Chinese. I love our country and nation. I have never had even a little hatred for the country and nation because of temporary flaws."

Mr. Zhu nodded with satisfaction, "The son does not mind the mother being ugly. Even if his parents have some things that are not good, then what should be done to make it better."

Lu Shanmin also nodded, "You are right. I have no reason to retreat for my friends, myself, and the country and nation."

Mr. Zhu wanted to speak but stopped, and after a long time, he said lightly: "Zixuan didn't see the wrong person."

After Lu Shanmin left, the old man walked into the private room, looked at the still steaming teacup, and asked, "You really let him fight to the death"?

Mr. Zhu said lightly: "When every generation leaves, they are unwilling and reluctant to leave, while the next generation is grateful to their predecessors but destined to rebel."

The old man sighed and sat in the seat where Lu Shanmin sat before. "Old leader, didn't your original intention persuade him to give up?"

Mr. Zhu smiled, "Their generation is so comfortable, they are in danger of forgetting the past, and this kind of forgetting, not to mention forgetting the content itself, means that they have lost their own dimensions, a leaping loudness in the survival of the country and the nation, because memory and leaping are the same, or that unless through the path of memory, people cannot reach depth. So I suddenly changed my mind."

The old man said lightly: "The times are different, and the young people are different from ours at that time."

Mr. Zhu said lightly: "Class struggle is endless and they should not forget it."

The old man said silently and after a while, "Our generation is fighting bloody, isn't it just that we hope their generation will live a more stable life?"

Mr. Zhu said lightly: "Every generation has its responsibilities and mission. Now China is not yet at the time when Ma Fangnanshan, and the country and nation have not yet truly revived. Although there is no need to die as many people as we did back then, there must be someone to bear some responsibilities."

The old man sighed again, "I thought the foundation for the eternal solidarity of China in the war, but now it seems that we have not solved all the problems."

Mr. Zhu said lightly: "There is no one-time solution to all problems of the country and the nation. The times are changing, and problems are also changing. Every era has different problems. Every era needs corresponding people to solve the corresponding problems. This is the responsibility of their generation."

The old man nodded slightly, "But, is this method necessarily correct?"

Mr. Zhu pondered for a moment, frowned slightly, "Who knows whether it is right or wrong when crossing the river by feeling the stones? The existence of shadows is not entirely due to shadows. The injustice of social distribution and the blockage of the upward channel are the most fundamental problems, and we need time."

The old man still shook his head, "What a great young man, I really don't want him to become a victim of the changes of the times."

Mr. Zhu murmured: "I know what you think. You are just Zixuan's godfather, and I am Zixuan's biological grandfather."

The old man said helplessly: "I once read a story. The emperor was afraid that the power of the Beggars' Gang would lead to instability in the regime, so he found the leader of the Beggars' Gang and hoped that he would dissolve the Beggars' Gang. Then the help of the Beggars' Gang said, 'If everyone in the world is equal and everyone has food to eat, who would be willing to be a beggar? Without beggars, how could the Beggars' Gang come from?' If the shadow matter was really so easy to deal with, it would have been dealt with long ago. This is a social problem that a country must face when it develops to a certain extent. If such a big thing is done, it would be too heavy for you to do such a big thing."

Mr. Zhu shook his head, "It's not that I want him to do it, it's that the ideals and beliefs of a group of people push him to do it. When we established a new China, many people of kindness and ambition have sacrificed their lives in their youth, and their generation also needs such people."
