"How about we go inside and chat? It's not very convenient to talk here." Guo Songtao said with a smile.
"Okay." Sheng Muyi readily agreed.
Sheng Muyi has been in Hong Kong for more than two months. She has been alone all the time. She has to change residences frequently to avoid being hunted by the Japanese. She feels very lonely and depressed inside, and there seems to be no hope at all.
I met two people today. One of them had helped her before, and the other was the editor of New Youth Magazine. It was such an unexpected surprise.
Song Zhenyang simply closed the door of the bookstore, and the three of them entered a room inside the bookstore together.
This is the place where the two of them eat, sleep and rest. Song Zhenyang made tea and brought it to her, and then said with a smile: "Miss Sheng, let's say goodbye to Kate, okay?"
She stretched out her hand to Song Zhenyang a little embarrassed and said, "Sorry, my name is Sheng Muyi."
Guo Songtao nodded, very happy, feeling that there was no distance between them, and said: "Miss Sheng's departure from Shanghai has caused quite a stir. The Japanese seem to be very uneasy."
Sheng Muyi said: "I have no choice but to hide from them. Please keep my coming to Hong Kong a secret. It involves a shocking secret and is related to the Japanese, so I can't let them find me, and I can't
Let familiar people discover me."
Sheng Muyi spoke very sincerely, but she could see that she was very anxious inside.
Guo Songtao and Song Zhenyang were a little confused. They couldn't understand what Mu Yi meant. Of course, it was not allowed to be found by the enemy. Why couldn't it be found by people who were familiar with her?
This is a complicated and puzzling question, but if she doesn't say it, she can't ask more, otherwise it will easily cause misunderstanding.
After all, Sheng Muyi is not a comrade within the organization, so we cannot have too high demands on her.
The Sheng family not only has properties in Hong Kong, but also has villas. The Sheng family is not only powerful in Shanghai, but also in Hong Kong. If Sheng Muyi really comes to Hong Kong, she doesn't have to hide at all. As long as she makes a phone call, the people of Sheng's industry in Hong Kong
They are all her subordinates.
Why can't people who know her find her? Guo Songtao and Song Zhenyang still couldn't understand this problem. Later, they made a special report to their superiors. The superiors replied that Sheng Muyi may have had no choice but to not show up in public in Hong Kong. Your only task at the moment is
Just to keep her safe.
Then we can only respect her opinions and do everything she asks, not only to protect her safety, but also to keep her whereabouts absolutely confidential.
"Don't worry, no matter what the reason is for you to do this, we will completely follow your instructions and will not make it difficult for you." Guo Songtao solemnly promised.
"Teacher Guo, please don't mess with me. I can't afford it." Sheng Muyi felt much more relaxed, and the expression on her face became richer.
Strangely enough, Sheng Muyi was not the kind of person who was gullible to others. Now that she has arrived in Hong Kong, she is even more wary of everyone. But for Guo Songtao and Song Zhenyang, she soon fully trusted them.
"Teacher Guo, what are the problems with the manuscript I wrote? Why was it not published? Since it was not published, it means it was unqualified. Why would you keep the unqualified manuscript?" Sheng Muyi asked.
"Miss Sheng, it's not that you are unqualified, one of your manuscripts is very good." Guo Songtao smiled.
"It's so well written? How is that possible? You're not trying to comfort me." Sheng Muyi didn't believe it at all.
"Yes, although the manuscript is good, some of the views are too clear, which will greatly stimulate the Kuomintang government. We are also worried about causing trouble for your family. After research, we feel that it is better not to publish it. I still remember
I have sent you a letter in reply, inviting you to come to the editorial office for an interview when you are free. Actually, I just want to tell you the reason why the manuscript cannot be published." Guo Songtao said truthfully.
"Then you are..." Sheng Muyi guessed a little.
"Yes, we are the Communist Party, and I am an underground member of the Communist Party in Hong Kong." Guo Songtao said with a smile.
"Then Mr. Song..."
"Of course he does too. By the way, his real name is Song Zhenyang, and Peter Song is his pseudonym." Guo Songtao laughed.
"Zhenyang, this is a good name. It is very sunny and strong. Our nation needs this kind of strength most now." Sheng Muyi said with a smile.
"Yes, our nation needs too many things, but do you know what it needs most urgently? A thorough bottom-up proletarian revolution. This is the kind of revolutionary cause we are engaged in now." Guo Songtao
He said energetically.
"Can you tell me more about your Communist Party, including your beliefs and ideas, as well as your revolutionary policy? Don't worry, I will keep it secret and will not tell anyone about it." Sheng Muyi was anxious.
said.
"Tell me, why do you want to know this so badly?" Guo Songtao asked like a teacher treating his students.
“I studied abroad, and when I arrived in the United States, I discovered how backward and weak my country was, and how incompetent the government was. I couldn’t see where our nation’s future would be, and I felt very painful, confused, and hesitant. I
Thinking back to my feelings when reading New Youth Magazine in China, I suddenly realized that you are prophets and enlightened people, one of the few enlightened people in China." Sheng Muyi said with passion.
"Your idea is very good. In fact, we have been paying attention to your situation. You might as well move to the hotel next door. On the one hand, we can protect you, and on the other hand, we can communicate frequently. I will tell you what you want to know
I’ll tell you everything.” Guo Songtao said frankly.
"Okay, I'll move here right away." Sheng Muyi became as happy as if she had found a relative.
Song Zhenyang followed Mu Yi to the hotel where she was staying. After checking out, she stayed at a hotel not far from Huiwen Bookstore.
From that day on, Mu Yi stopped studying makeup for the time being, and instead listened to Guo Songtao preaching to her the beliefs, revolutionary ideas and revolutionary direction of the Chinese Communist Party.
During this period, Guo Songtao also reported to Shanghai the situation of finding Sheng Muyi, and once again asked his superiors if they knew what Sheng Muyi's reasons were.
The superior leaders sent back instructions, asking them to protect Sheng Muyi's safety. Whatever Sheng Muyi wanted to know, they could tell her, but they should not rush to recruit her into the party.
To be honest, Guo Songtao was enlightened when he saw these instructions. He has been working underground for many years, and he can always grasp the essentials and understand the instructions of his superiors at once. However, he always feels that Sheng Muyi's instructions are separated by a layer of fog.
, simply cannot understand.
However, under the careful care and protection of Guo Songtao and Song Zhenyang, Sheng Muyi became much more cheerful, and was no longer as frightened as before, and would be frightened when she heard the sirens in the middle of the night.
Now she sleeps peacefully and soundly every day, eats deliciously, and talks more.
She went to Huiwen Bookstore every day to listen to Guo Songtao preach Marxism-Leninism to her, introduce the political propositions of the Communist Party of China, analyze the current situation of all strata of Chinese society, what is the correct path for China's future, etc.
Sheng Muyi listened with fascination every time, and she kept asking questions, like a thirsty seedling encountering a clear spring, vigorously absorbing nutrients.
"Can I also join your ranks and make revolution with you? I also want to realize my ideals in life!" After listening to it for several days, Sheng Muyi learned Guo Songtao's tone and couldn't help but excitedly made a request.
"It's a good idea that you have. I can ask your superiors for instructions. You must get approval from your superiors to recruit you to join the organization." Guo Songtao smiled.
In his opinion, Sheng Muyi has now changed, her new ideas and concepts have been basically established, and she is almost his comrade. Of course, it still needs to be tempered and tested in practice.
But this matter is not something he can decide. He is just the leader of the team in Hong Kong. Even if he develops a team member in Hong Kong, he must get approval from his superiors. This is a very strict discipline.
In fact, Sheng Muyi is now a peripheral member of Hong Kong's underground party organization, but has not participated in any organizational actions.
