In a blink of an eye, his daughter was about to be one month old, and Zhou Hexuan thought of more than ten names, but he was not satisfied with any of them.
In desperation, Zhou Hexuan could only find helpers. For example, Wang Guowei, Chen Yinke and other Chinese masters are excellent candidates for naming. The names they chose have both connotation and style.
It was another Friday, and Zhou Hexuan took the train to teach at Tsinghua University and visited several masters along the way.
The driver drove Zhou Hexuan and the Sun brothers to the station. As soon as the three got off the bus, they saw a rickshaw speeding towards them.
Lu Xun carried a large suitcase, lit a cigarette in the early summer breeze, and then carried the suitcase alone into the train station.
Long gown, flat head, one-word beard, distinctive appearance.
Zhou Hexuan recognized Lu Xun in the crowd at a glance. He smiled and walked over to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Zhou!"
"Who are you?" Lu Xun turned around in surprise.
"My surname is also Zhou, and my name is Zhou Hexuan." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Lu Xun was quite surprised, shook hands and said: "I have admired you for a long time, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Zhou Hexuan asked: "Mr. Zhou, are you going to Peking?"
Lu Xun nodded and said, "My mother is ill. I'll come over to visit her."
After Lu Xun left Peiping, he had been spending money to support his mother and his wife, and these bills were later published by researchers.
In April alone, Lu Xun's mother spent six times on medicines and bought several old hens (to make chicken soup), which shows that her health condition is not optimistic.
Lu Xun was so frightened that he hurriedly went north, not only to visit his mother, but also to inform his mother about Xu Guangping's pregnancy, using the incident to cheer his mother up.
Sun Yonghao helped buy train tickets, and by the way, he also bought Lu Xun's share.
Lu Xun did not refuse. While waiting in the waiting room, he said: "What do you want to express in the last chapter of your book "Guns, Germs and Steel"?"
"It's just my personal opinion." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Lu Xun asked directly: "Do you support Chang Kaishen's dictatorship?"
"What do you think?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
"It doesn't seem like it." Lu Xun frowned.
Zhou Hexuan said unabashedly: "My evaluation of Chang Kaishen is only eight words: dictatorial and incompetent, democratic. Such a person is more than enough to rule a province, but if he wants to govern the whole of China, he does not have the ability."
"Dictatorship is incompetent, but democracy is immeasurable..." Lu Xun pondered this sentence carefully.
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Looking at Chang Kaishen's behavior in the past two years, we know that he wants to establish a dictatorship like Mussolini in Italy. But it is a pity that he cannot even fully control the Kuomintang Party, let alone the warlords everywhere.
His usual tricks are nothing more than assassination, bribery, forming gangs, and favoring public interests for personal gain. He is more like a gang leader than a national leader. How can I support such a person?"
Lu Xun quite agreed with Zhou Hexuan's evaluation. He wondered: "Then why do you say in the book that China should have one-party dictatorship and intra-party democracy?"
Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly and said: "Whether you agree or not, Chang Kaishen is the person most capable of reunifying China today, even if it is in name only. Only with a unified Chinese government can international diplomacy be effectively implemented and China's international affairs
Normalization of status. For example, taking back customs, concessions and consular jurisdiction. Only a unified Chinese government can implement reforms in various fields, promulgate perfect laws and regulations, and develop the national economy, industry, agriculture and commerce. Chang Kaishen is unlikely to do too much
If you have a party system, you can only hope for inner-party democracy."
Zhou Hexuan could not use the China of later generations as an explanation, he could only focus on the current situation.
"You don't want this kind of unification!" Lu Xun was obviously a little angry after hearing this. He hated Chang Kaishen extremely, because several of his good friends were killed by Chang Kaishen's Qing Party.
Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said: "When a foreign enemy invades and China is in danger of life and death, it is valuable to have a unified government. Even if this government is corrupt and incompetent, it can at least unite people's hearts and call on the Chinese people to resist."
"Foreign enemy?" Lu Xun thought of Zhou Hexuan's "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", "Do you really think that the Japanese dare to accuse the world of injustice and launch a blatant invasion of China?"
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "The basis of Japan's rights and interests in Manchuria and Mongolia is the so-called leased areas of Guandong State, that is, Lushun and Dalian in China. These were received from the Russians, and the official document only had a short lease period of 25 years. In 1934
Before the concession expires, the Japanese will either withdraw from Northeast China or invade China. There is no third possibility. Based on Mr. Zhou's understanding of the Japanese, what do you think they will choose?"
Lu Xun smoked a cigarette and remained speechless.
This was the first time he heard that the Japanese-occupied Lushun and Dalian had a lease term, and it only expired in five years.
Lu Xun had many Japanese friends and had a very deep understanding of Japan. In his view, Japan could not give up its vested interests and would inevitably use force to invade Northeast China before 1934.
There was no talking all the way, and Lu Xun smoked wildly on the train. The smoke filled the air and choked the people around him.
It wasn't until he arrived at Peking Station that Lu Xun said to Zhou Hexuan: "Perhaps, Northeastern affairs can be resolved through diplomatic means and do not necessarily have to resort to war."
Zhou Hexuan lamented: "China is about to start a civil war. This civil war may be an opportunity for Japan to invade Northeast China. If Fengjun enters the Pass, the Kwantung Army will take advantage of the opportunity. Even if Fengjun does not enter the Pass, the Kwantung Army will probably
We will attack, but it will only happen sooner or later."
"You are too arbitrary. Who can predict what will happen in the future?" Lu Xun still took chances. He did not dare to imagine the terrible consequences of a war between China and Japan.
"We'll see." Zhou Hexuan was too lazy to say anything more.
Several people left the station and stood on the side of the road waiting for the rickshaw, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of it.
Zhou Hexuan asked passers-by and found out that the rickshaw drivers in Peiping were on strike.
Since the victory of the Northern Expedition and the move of the capital to Nanjing, Peiping has declined rapidly, and all industries have withered. In less than two years, more than 1,500 shops in Peiping have closed down, and the market has been in depression.
The rickshaw drivers are faced with competition from trams outside and exploitation from car dealers inside. Coupled with the general economic depression, they are almost unable to survive. They can only join forces to go on strike and hope that the car dealers will reduce their wages, otherwise they will not be able to support their families at all.
At this time, the officials in Peking had no thought at all and were incapable of developing Peking well.
Because the situation is too complicated!
Peiping is nominally Yan Xishan's territory, but the mayor is Feng Yuxiang's, and Yan Xishan only appointed the director of public security. There are also director of social affairs and director of health, who were recommended by Chang Kaishen and his wife. The director of land is Bai Chongxi's.
The Director of Public Utilities is a veteran of the Kuomintang Party, and the Director of Finance was formerly Feng Yuxiang’s Director of Military Supplies...
It can be said that the small Peking City Government is the epitome of the chaotic political situation of the Republic of China today.
Mayor He Qigong wanted to make a difference, but he has been sidelined. He just said he was ill and stopped going to work a few days ago.
By the way, Li Shizeng’s monthly education fund of 300,000 yuan was also cut off.
At the beginning, Yan Xishan misappropriated money from Tianjin customs and salt taxes and distributed education funds in the name of the Peking Municipal Government's finances. But just a month ago, the Nanjing government reached an agreement with foreigners and forcibly seized the Tianjin Customs and Changlu Salt Bureau.
After Yan Xishan lost a huge source of wealth, how could he still be willing to engage in loss-making business? Depressed, he cut off the educational funds of the Peking University District.
