Chapter 15 Comprehension
"Red Stars Shine in China", a highly documentary work. Edgar Snow truly records what he saw and heard in the field interviews in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region of China from June to October 1936, and reported to the world the situation of China and the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, as well as many Red Army leaders and Red Army generals.
On 210, 1938, the first full Chinese translation was published in Shanghai. Considering the release in enemy-occupied areas and the Kuomintang government-ruled areas, the translation was renamed "The Journey to the West". This book was printed in just ten months, causing a sensation in China and overseas Chinese gathering places. There are countless reprints and reprints in Hong Kong and overseas Chinese gathering places.
In the book, Snow explores the background and reasons for the development of the Chinese revolution. He judged that due to the propaganda and concrete actions of China's GCD, the poor and oppressed people had new ideas about the country, society and individuals, and new beliefs that must be taken. With an ideological armament and a group of determined young people, they were able to fight the rule of GMD for ten years. The author also portrayed the tenacious and heroic great struggle of the Chinese Communists and Red Army soldiers, as well as the great and ordinary spiritual outlook of their leaders.
He interviewed Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, He Long face to face, and other leaders of the Communist Party of China and Red Army generals, and formed a shallow or deep friendship. Snow accurately grasped the spiritual bond between Mao Zedong and the Chinese people with peasants as the main body. No one knew them better than Mao Zedong. He was better at synthesis, expression and understanding their wishes. This would profoundly restrict the process of China's modernization in the next decades, including its success and twists and turns.
Wu Ming pinched off the cigarette butts, closed his eyes gently in the smokey little room, and began to think. This was how he spent the whole day.
This is the choice of the times and the people, and it is also determined by China's national conditions. Wu Ming patted the "Walk to the West" on the table with his hand. There are too many poor people in China now, especially in the vast rural areas. The rural areas of the old China are a severely ill elephant. When the bourgeoisie in big cities, they go into their own countryside and rural areas, and they can't believe how could such an old countryside exist? Such an old peasant? The Jiang regime is too far away from the reality of the old countryside! He cannot change the current situation in rural China, nor does he have such courage to completely separate the connection between the bourgeois consortiums that support him and the landlords. This is his ruling foundation, so he must take care of their interests. The enthusiasm and destructive power of the millions of armed farmers and the people at the bottom of society is unimaginable, so he was defeated.
Only Mao Zedong made correct predictions about the important role that ordinary Chinese people, especially farmers, will play in historical creation. He discovered the power hidden in hundreds of millions of working people and asserted that China's future will be in their hands. The GCD he led began in the countryside, uprooted the old ideas, old consciousness, and old corruption. Then cleansed the city and transformed China with major operations.
It is undeniable that GCD was an honest, efficient, down-to-earth party at this time, but why did he make so many mistakes and take so many detours later? Wu Ming couldn't figure it out.
There is a saying among Hong Kong people: First, Mao Zedong, second, Bruce Lee, Mao Zedong had the courage and strategy to sweep thousands of troops, while Bruce Lee had the invincible skill in fighting all over the world. Wu Ming was still very convinced of this. It would be impossible not to admire the great man. But even if a great man made a small mistake, it would be earth-shaking. A small insect like himself could kill him and he could overwhelm two dead grass.
"Hmm?" Wu Ming suddenly thought of something in his mind, but it was still very vague.
With a bang, the door was pushed open vigorously. A cold air hit the face, which scared Wu Ming. Cough, cough, cough, Dorothy just reached into her head and was choked back.
"What are you doing? Didn't I say that people are not allowed to come in?" Wu Ming was very angry and shouted loudly.
"Cough, cough." Duoloxi did not show any weakness. While coughing, he reached out to block the door, "You, are you king or emperor, you cannot violate what you say, say!"
"King? Emperor?" Wu Ming seemed to have some insight and looked at Dorothy in a daze, "Golden words? Democracy? Authoritarian?"
"Hey!" Dorothy reached out and shook his hand in front of Wu Ming's eyes, "What's wrong? It's been a day, I'm going to have a meal, I'll call you. Hello!"
Wu Ming's eyes rolled, his spirit was restored, and a smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand and opened Dorothy, "What are you feeding? You are so old and you can still feed someone to eat!"
Haha, Xu Zhenzhen smiled and pulled Dorothy, "If you can joke and sarcastic people, it proves that he is not sick. You see, his eyes are flexible again, so stay away from him!"
Wu Ming picked up the "The Journey to the West" on the table and handed it to Dorothy, "I've finished reading it, let's go to have a meal!"
He didn't even say thank you, and was not polite." Dorothy covered her nose and chatted endlessly.
"I have to feed you later, why are you anxious?" Wu Ming said without looking back, and immediately got a few pink fists on his back.
…………………………
"What's wrong with your face?" During the meal, Wu Ming saw Li Zhenying's ghostly love, and he covered up his eyes. After a closer look, he found that there was a small piece of blue on his face.
"No, nothing." Li Zhenying laughed.
"We dress like a young master. We can't stand the contemptuous eyes of the Eighth Route Army soldiers. They were training, so we got a little bit of a fight with them." Han Han said with a smile: "But we won three games in five battles."
"What are you comparing? Fist, Shooting, or Running." Wu Ming pursed his lips and asked indifferently.
"Fist and foot." Li Zhenying answered honestly: "That, tomorrow, can you go with us to see? There is a guy from the Eighth Route Army who is very powerful. I heard that he has worked as a monk in Shaolin Temple."
"Shaolin Temple, I'm still in Wudang Emei!" Wu Ming rolled his eyes and said, "Cut it down, just like a juggling gesture. My kung fu is too fierce. Don't you want me to go up and compete with this monk from Shaolin Temple?"
—
"Brother, you can teach him a lesson." Li Zhenying grinned and rubbed his face. "He heard that you have good knife skills and great kung fu, and he looked unconvinced. I looked very angry when I looked at him."
"Stop, we are civilized people, don't touch each other." Wu Ming shook his head, took the food and threw it into his mouth.
"It's better not to compare, so you won't lose your reputation for being lost for the rest of your life." Han Han fanned the flames next to him.
"I didn't have any reputation." Wu Ming smiled indifferently, "What are you doing to waste? You are really unlearning."
Li Zhenying and Han Han looked at each other and smiled bitterly, both shook their heads, and had no choice but to do anything.
"All right, don't be sad." Wu Ming put down his bowl and chopsticks, "I've been bored for a day, and I'll go out with you tomorrow and take a look. As for not doing anything, let's talk about it then!"
"Okay, just go." Li Zhenying flattered happily, "Brother, you can scare that guy when you stand that guy and then go back to Shaolin Temple to be a monk. I dare not say that he can do martial arts."
"It's past, it's past." Wu Ming patted Li Zhenying on the shoulder modestly, "Although I'm very handsome, don't say it in front of so many people? Be humble and keep a low profile."
"Uh!" Han Han vomited and everyone burst into laughter.
After dinner, Wu Ming and others returned to the room and chatted for a while. Xu Zhenzhen, Dorothy, and Zhang Juan came to find him.
"What's the matter with me?" Wu Ming walked out of the door and asked.
Zhang Baojuan hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "That's right. The song "Mr. Liu sang is really good to serve the country. Our art troupe also wants to learn this song, so I want to ask Mr. Liu to teach it if it is convenient."
"Go!" Xu Zhenzhen persuaded with a smile: "It's a pity that such a good song will not be allowed to spread."
"It's just such a small thing, why are you doing so many people?" Wu Ming said with a smile: "I'll just go."
Dorothy was a little surprised by Wu Ming's pleasure. She looked left and right and gently pulled Wu Ming's clothes.
Wu Ming frowned, walked behind two steps, and asked softly: "What are you doing? Just say something."
"You have changed a little." Duoloxi asked a little strangely: "I thought you would refuse very simply. Did you understand after watching "The Westward Journey"!"
"It's so interesting. I just suddenly figured out something." Wu Ming replied in a low voice.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Dorothy smiled and approached Wu Ming and held his arm.
"When you were young, did anyone say that you would be ugly in the future? And you would do a lot of bad things?" Wu Ming asked.
"Nonsense, I was very cute when I was young, and everyone liked me." Dorothy glared at Wu Ming, "Besides, I was still young at that time, why can I determine my future?"
"Yes, I'm still small and have a lot of room for growth. I can't blame it for the mistakes it may have made but has not made yet." Wu Ming sighed: "It's my time and space disorder and preconceived ideas. Although my strength is very thin, I will try my best to find out the reasons for its tortuous growth and avoid future tragedies. This may be a very difficult thing."
"I don't understand very much." Duoloxi replied honestly.
"It's right if you don't understand." Wu Ming smiled faintly, "Life is like a dream. Sometimes I think, maybe one day when I wake up, the world will change. But before I wake up, I still want China to do something, even for my mother!" A man's resistance to Japan is not ashamed of the world's Ying, and his spirit is so angry that Zi Nisheng Chapter 15 Insight
