Three days later, Zhou Hexuan met Liang Qi on his death bed in Peking Union Medical College Hospital.?
Standing in the ward were Liang Qi's wife Wang Guiquan (the main wife's maid), the eldest son Liang Sicheng, Lin Huiyin and his wife, the fourth son Liang Sida, the fifth son Liang Sili, the third daughter Liang Siying, and the fourth daughter Liang Sining.
As for Liang Qi's other children, except for the eldest daughter who married in Nanyang, the rest are studying in Europe and the United States.
Zhou Hexuan walked in, nodded to Wang Guiquan, Liang Sicheng and others, and asked: "How is Mr. Ren Gong's condition?"
Liang Sicheng lowered his head helplessly, while Wang Guiquan wiped his tears and said: "Sometimes I'm awake, sometimes I'm comatose. I'm afraid it won't work."
"well!"
Zhou Hexuan sighed and silently walked to the hospital bed.
Among the friends Zhou Hexuan has made since time traveling, Liang Qi and Feng Yong have the deepest feelings for each other.
Liang Qi was both a teacher and a friend to Zhou Hexuan. There was almost no flaw in this old gentleman's character, which made him both admirable and lamentable.
As if hearing the footsteps, Liang Qi suddenly opened his eyes and smiled weakly: "Mingcheng is here, sit down."
"Sir, please rest in peace and recover." Zhou Hexuan held Liang Qi's hand.
"I'm going to die," Liang Qi obviously regained consciousness and became much more energetic. He told his family, "After my death, doctors can dissect my body to find out the cause of the disease. This can be considered as a contribution to modern medicine."
"Master!" Wang Guiquan burst into tears.
The other children also gathered around the bed with sad faces, and Liang Sicheng shed tears silently.
Zhou Hexuan shook his head helplessly. As a time traveler, he knew the cause of Liang Qi's death.
Liang Qi initially fell ill due to overwork. Under the treatment of experts in traditional Chinese medicine, his condition has improved. However, Liang Qi did not care about his body, and his living habits were extremely bad. Not only did he often write, but he also occasionally played mahjong all night long.
As a result, Liang Qi's condition deteriorated rapidly and he had to go to Union Hospital for surgery.
Due to the nurse's negligence, when marking the surgical site with iodine, the left kidney that was supposed to be marked was marked as the right kidney. The surgeon Liu Ruihuan was also careless and did not carefully check the light film, so he removed Liang Qi's healthy right kidney.
, leaving behind the diseased left kidney.
The healthy kidneys were cut off, but the diseased kidneys were kept. Liang Qi completely ignored maintenance in the past few years, and continued to write books and forget about food and sleep, saying that death from illness would be a matter of time.
This matter caused a huge stir, known as the "Wrong Cutting of Liang Qi's Kidney Case". The hospital kept the secret and the chief surgeon was transferred. Liang Qi probably knew the truth, but he tried hard to defend the hospital, saying that he was very healthy after the operation.
As for the reason, the main reason was that many Chinese people did not believe in Western medicine at that time, and Liang Qi did not want to discredit Western medicine because of himself.
Liang Qi's family did not know the situation. It was not until 40 years later that Liang Sicheng was admitted to Union Hospital due to illness and learned the truth from his attending doctor.
Since Liang Qi is unwilling to disclose the truth, Zhou Hexuan will naturally not tell it. If the world knows this, with Liang Qi's huge influence, the development of Western medicine in China will definitely be hindered.
Liang Qi warned his family, and then said to Zhou Hexuan: "Mingcheng, I did great damage to the ideological circles of the late Qing Dynasty, but made little progress, so I can be called a sinner. Compared with my teacher Kang Youwei, he is too prejudiced, and I
Too unprejudiced. The two of us deal with the current situation in this way, and the same is true in our studies. He holds the thought of royalist reform and remains unchanged, while I am always hesitant and searching, and my thoughts keep changing. Neither is advisable, not only for the country, but also for the nation.
You have not made much contribution. You are a great talent in the ideological world. You should guide the people to the right path. You must not be like me, hesitating and wavering. The future of China depends on your generation."
Zhou Hexuan's nose was a little sore, he nodded and said: "Hexuan will keep this in mind!"
Liang Qi smiled, his pupils gradually dilated, and there were no signs of life anymore.
"Good go, sir." Zhou Hexuan stretched out his hand to press Liang Qi's forehead, brushed it down gently, and closed his eyelids.
The Liang family members in the ward were already crying. Wang Guowei pushed the door open and stood stunned on the spot, with the visiting gift in his hand falling to the ground.
It's so strange to say that in history, when Wang Guowei committed suicide, Liang Qi helped preside over the funeral. However, due to the influence of Zhou Hexuan's time travel, it became Wang Guowei's funeral to send Liang Qi away.
Zhou Hexuan sighed and walked out of the ward, taking a long breath of fresh air, his mood eased slightly.
Wang Guowei shook his head, turned around, walked to Zhou Hexuan, and asked: "Mingcheng, what are Mr. Ren's last words?"
Zhou Hexuan said: "He said that he had no opinion and that he had done too much damage to China and contributed too little. He told me to strengthen my ideological beliefs and avoid wavering."
Wang Guowei looked back at the situation in the ward and sighed: "We'd better help prepare for the memorial service and funeral."
Now Mrs. Liang has cried her heart out. Except for Liang Sicheng, her several children in China are still underage and they really need friends to help with the funeral arrangements.
That night, Wang Guowei was responsible for convening everyone, and the "Funeral Committee" was established the next day. Wang Guowei served as the chairman and wrote invitations to Liang Qi's former friends, while Zhou Hexuan was responsible for the specific affairs, arranging the memorial service and funeral matters.
As for Liang Sicheng, Lin Huiyin and his wife were responsible for designing the cemetery for their father.
As a powerful thinker and politician in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Liang Qi's funeral seemed quite shabby. The National Government did not express any expression, only some of his former friends came to see him off. Friends from Shanghai and Peking held public memorial ceremonies, and many newspapers There are also corresponding reports.
Although there were many people who came to express their condolences, they were not from the elite class and basically belonged to the cultural circles, including Qian Xuantong, Hu Shi, Ding Wenjiang, Xiong Xiling, Zhu Xizu, Xiong Foxi, Yu Shangyuan, Yang Honglie, Wu Qichang and others from various universities. There will be a meeting, and the organization will also send representatives to the event.
Perhaps, for today's Chinese political circles, Liang Qi is really outdated. Without power and influence, who cares about his life or death?
In sharp contrast, half a year later, Sun's body was found in the Biyun Temple in Xiangshan, Beiping. The hearse left the Central Party Headquarters and traveled more than 20 miles to the mausoleum. Along the way, people took off their hats and stood in awe, with more than 50,000 spectators.
Zhou Hexuan watched the coffin being laid into the ground and couldn't help but sigh: "An era is over."
"Yes, an era is over." Hu Shi, who came all the way from Shanghai, said sadly.
Yuan Shikai died, Sun Yat-sen died, Kang Youwei died, and Liang Qi also died. The turbulent era of the late Qing Dynasty was completely over. With the victory of the Northern Expedition, China ushered in a new era. Unfortunately, this new era did not seem to be the same. Too bright.
As a representative of the Shanghai Party Headquarters, Chen Dezheng later proposed at the Third Plenary Session of the Kuomintang Party: "Anyone who has been certified in writing by the Provincial Party Headquarters and the Special City Party Headquarters as an anti-(harmony) revolutionary element shall be treated as an anti-(harmony) revolutionary by the court or other statutory acceptance authority." Harmony) Revolution. If you are not satisfied, you may appeal. Only the higher court or other higher statutory acceptance authority shall refute it if it obtains written certification from the Central Party Committee."
In other words, as long as the Kuomintang party headquarters finds you guilty, your appeal will be useless, and the court will be nothing more than a device.
The footsteps of dictatorship are getting closer and closer.8
