The bedroom is not big, with simple and ordinary furnishings, including a bed, desk, wardrobe and stool. In addition, there is an electric light in the room which is quite luxurious.
My predecessor, Yu Hua, usually studied here.
"Ta."
Yu Hua opened the door and entered the room, took a look, and reached out to touch the door frame on the right according to his memory. A slender and flexible straw rope entered his hand. With a gentle pull, the tungsten filament incandescent light bulb hanging in the middle of the bedroom was energized and activated, blooming with bright and symbolic light.
The yellow light of hope.
"There are also electric lights, which is nice."
Looking at the incandescent lamps that he had only seen in his hometown in the countryside, and the straw rope switches that he had never seen before, Yu Hua breathed out gently. These products containing technology finally made him feel a lot safer. He closed the door and
Head towards the desk.
It has to be said that according to the memory of the predecessor, Chongwen House is the only one among the twenty-three households in Jinguo Hutong that has electric lights installed.
As a symbol of human civilization, the electric light that changed the living habit of "ploughing at sunrise and sleeping at sunset" can be seen everywhere in later generations. However, in today's era, it is a high-end symbol of wealth and wealth. Only large landowners or wealthy families can
Only then can it support its consumption.
The electricity bill in Peiping City is calculated by kilowatt-hour, which is 30 cents per kilowatt-hour. The monthly electricity bill for one electric lamp is close to 10 yuan.
What is the concept of ten yuan?
These days, a busy innkeeper's monthly salary is only about five yuan. If the lights are turned on for a month, the innkeeper needs to work without food or water for two months.
If it weren't for Yu Qinghe's generous army salary, there would be no need to think about electric lamps, as oil lamps would be too expensive.
Yu Hua sat upright, with three things placed on the surface of the desk. He put aside the death notice for the time being. He picked up the first envelope, opened it, and took out thirty Chinese legal tenders with the image of Leader Sun printed on them, all of which were in denominations of ten yuan.
Another envelope was also opened, and inside was ten yuan wrapped.
"Three hundred yuan of legal currency, all in ten-yuan denominations. The legal currency of the Republic of China in 1937 was still valuable, but it needs to be exchanged for Dayang, or small yellow croaker. Once the Anti-Japanese War breaks out, the legal currency will depreciate rapidly." Yu Hua carefully counted and confirmed that everything was correct, and thought.
I’m going to make some preparations to exchange for the ocean in the next few days.
The French currency around 37 years old is relatively strong and circulates across the country. Although it is not as good as the ocean, it is not like toilet paper in a few years. If a person with hemorrhoids uses it to wipe his butt, it will basically bleed every time.<
/p>
He carefully arranged his belongings and took out a heavy small iron box from the bottom drawer on the right side of the desk according to his memory. He opened the box and found that it contained the entire family's savings - one hundred and twenty yuan and a small yellow croaker.<
/p>
This is all Yu Qinghe’s savings over many years of joining the army.
Three hundred legal currency, ten oceans, and the death notice were all put into it. Yu Hua closed the box and put it back in place. After doing this, he immediately took out a brand new notebook and a notebook from the first drawer on the right.
Pen.
Printing and debugging.
Looking at the blank page with a faint smell of paper, Yu Hua looked solemnly, held the pen in his right hand, and wrote five words according to his habit——
What should I do?
Asking questions on paper and thinking on your own have always been Yu Hua’s habit.
Putting down the pen, Yu Hua sat upright, with his elbows propped on the table, fingers crossed, and his eyes silently staring at the question on the first page of the notebook.
If a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries.
Returning to Peiping in 1937, what should I do?
This is the biggest problem Yu Hua is currently facing, and there must be a solution.
In the 26th year of the Republic of China, 1937 AD, an extremely dark page in Chinese history. The Xi'an Incident came to an end. The strategy of "pacifying the internal situation before resisting foreign aggression" changed, and the policy of "stopping the civil war and uniting with the Communist Party to resist Japan" was established. The whole country united
Facing Japan, which is eyeing and full of ambitions.
The memory in his brain clearly told Yu Hua that in five months left, as a student in Peiping, he would soon witness with his own eyes the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, which symbolized the earth-shattering changes in China.
After Marco Polo Bridge, China will suffer the most severe blow.
In 1937, Japan fully invaded China. The mountains and rivers collapsed, the world was turned upside down, the country was devastated, and the blood of tens of millions of Chinese people was about to flow all over the land of China.
The entire country and nation will face the most serious crisis in history!
Is it a loss of country and humiliation of power?
No!
It is the subjugation of the country and the annihilation of the species!
This is something more terrifying than losing one’s country and humiliating one’s power.
This is a century-old era of humiliation!
This is an era when the Chinese nation is suffering and is even in danger of extinction!
Yu Hua is very clear about what is happening and what will happen in the future.
The high school history textbook that came to mind seemed to tell the story of history. Soon, in Peiping, he would personally experience the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, hear the sound of gunfire, see the Japanese army occupy Peiping, and read about the National Revolution in the newspapers.
The army retreated steadily, including the defeat in the Battle of Songhu, the fall of Nanjing, and then the tragic Nanjing Massacre.
Three hundred thousand people died.
He will see the despair of countless people in Henan, and he will also see the human tragedy of starvation and death everywhere.
The past history is now the future!
North China is so big that there is no room for a desk. This is no longer a warning in a history textbook, but a reality that is actually happening.
Under such a background, what should I do?
Yu Hua was calm and collected, although there was an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart. He picked up the pen again with his right hand and wrote two words under the first question——
To survive,
Sacrifice.
The former, stay in Peiping and live like ordinary people in the market, not caring about national affairs. As long as they wait for ten or eight years, little Japan will be driven away. After a few more years, New China will be established, and everything will be fine. p>
The latter uses his own identity, his own knowledge, and everything he owns to do great things, but do good things without worrying about the future.
Who to choose?
The former may die, the latter may live.
"You're all here. After eighteen years of being a prosperous citizen, you should now contribute to your ideals and motherland, and live up to this experience."
Yu Hua's eyes were as bright as stars, and he stared at the two words he had written. The two thoughts in his mind collided with each other, and then he made a decision and murmured to himself.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The whole person has a solemn expression, holding a pen in his right hand and scratching out to survive.
Survive?
Is this appropriate?
This is inappropriate.
As the old saying goes, come what may.
If you want to survive and be a submissive citizen under the Japanese rule, it is better not to come, go back and be a peaceful citizen in your own prosperous age, work hard and wait until death.
As a fracture-level military fan, Tieba military strategist, Zhihu scholar, b-site famous scholar, and self-recognized national-level talent, Yu Hua has his own ambitions and ideals. However, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and he wants to do something big.
At that time, he often chose to give up because the charging data cable was not long enough, but he was still an outstanding Communist Youth League member and quasi-college student.
Yu Hua was born in Le City, Sichuan Province, and his family was poor since he was a child. His mother died of illness when he was ten years old, and his father died of an accident when he was fifteen years old. After his parents left, he lived alone. With the preferential treatment for poor students and work-study program, he studied in high school.
After studying in high school for three years, Yu Hua finally passed the second-level exam.
However, as soon as the university admission notice was received and opened, Yu Hua lost consciousness and came here.
"Squeak."
The long and sharp metal pen tip scratched the surface of the paper, making a slight sound.
Below the word sacrifice, six words appear again.
Join the military, politics, business, study medicine, industry, science and technology.
Era background: In 1937, during the Republic of China, the Anti-Japanese War was about to break out, and the Second World War was about to break out.
Advantages: status as a time traveler, knowledge and insight ahead of the entire era, awareness of national historical events and global patterns, high school education.
Disadvantages: No capital, no self-preservation, no connections, status as an ordinary person, lack of experience, and no understanding of the society and relationships of the Republic of China.
After Yu Hua finished writing, he put down his pen and stared.
Six words, six paths.
The time has come to 1937, and there is not much room and time to choose. Taking into account the advantages and disadvantages, as well as the background of the times, Yu Hua must find the most suitable path for himself among the six paths.
First of all, Yu Hua needs to clarify what his biggest advantage is.
That is the identity of the time traveler.
As a Zhihu scholar and a famous scholar on B.com, Yu Hua knows very well that the information stored in his head is the most precious.
This information that records future events is the most precious treasure of the entire Chinese nation, a priceless treasure that cannot be exchanged for anything.
Next, use the elimination method.
To join the army, the best choice is to contact the Red Party and join the Eighth Route Army. With a high school education and the knowledge in your head, it is easy to join the Eighth Route Army, but it is difficult to do something big. In addition, there is also the biggest disadvantage: it is easy to die. "I can't die, the living time traveler is the most useful time traveler." Yu Hua thought silently, picked up the pen in his right hand, crossed out the first of the six roads - joining the army, and moved his eyes to the second place.
To enter politics, it is best to join the Red Party, followed by the Kuomintang camp. However, Yu Hua has no talent for politics and does not know how to be a leader. Most importantly, he has no ability.
After thinking about it, Yu Hua did not hesitate and crossed out the second path of entering politics with a pen.
What about business?
With an initial capital of about NT$500, but no connections or self-preservation, a businessman is like a walking pig in this era. Anyone who sees him can take a bite of the fat, and some even kill him and eat it directly.
.
Whether you encounter bandits or soldiers, you are basically dead.
Yu Hua silently crossed out business, looked at the next person - studying medicine, paused for two seconds, remembered the experience of digging out corns and cutting a cut on his toes, sighed, rejected it without hesitation, and crossed it out with a pen
.
He is not qualified to hold a scalpel. Besides, Brother Xun said: Studying medicine cannot save the Chinese people.
