(I felt that the previous chapter was not well written, so I added another paragraph today.)
Tianjin, Nankai University.
Xu Zhimo, dressed in a suit, is preaching his poetry philosophy to the teachers and students of the school: "There are really good people, really bad people, fake people and useless people. There are also real poems, bad poems and poetry-like poems. There are really good people."
It is the product of personality harmonizing the naturally revealed character, good poetry and poetry harmonizing the natural expression of emotion... The essence of poetry is inspiration, spirit and experience. Whether it is from the eyebrows of a lover, or from bending down to plant vegetables.
In the singing of the country girl, as soon as the inspiration comes, the magic comes out, and the result is poetry, beauty, so beautiful that even the poet himself was surprised..."
Xu Zhimo was speaking on the stage, and the students were taking notes in the audience. From time to time, someone raised their hands and asked questions, and Xu Zhimo answered them one by one easily.
Well, Xu Zhimo is actually here to make money.
He was about to marry Lu Xiaoman, but his father Xu Shenru was firmly opposed to it. Later he reluctantly agreed, but made a request that Xu Zhimo's wedding expenses must be paid by himself.
In order to raise money for the wedding, Xu Zhimo took on jobs from everywhere during this period and had to give seven or eight speeches in a month.
"Bah, bang, bang!" The audience applauded.
Xu Zhimo bowed and saluted the audience, and when he was about to leave, a student suddenly stood up and asked: "Mr. Xu, can your poetry save the country?"
This was obviously an attempt to cause trouble. Xu Zhimo looked a little unhappy and replied: "Although poetry cannot save the country, poets can be patriotic."
Another student asked: "What do you think about Concubine Dao having her hair cut and getting education?"
Xu Zhimo said: "I deeply admire Dao Fei."
"The Southern Revolutionary Army is on its Northern Expedition. Do you think they can succeed?" the student continued to ask.
Xu Zhimo said: "Today we will only talk about poetry, not politics and military affairs."
Feeling that he couldn't stay any longer, Xu Zhimo bowed again and left the stage without giving the students time to ask questions. Immediately, many fans came to him for autographs holding copies of Xu Zhimo's poetry magazine. Their enthusiasm was no less than that of later generations.
Chasing stars.
The weather was hot in summer, so Xu Zhi left school, sweating, and took a rickshaw to deliver wedding invitations. He also had a few friends in Tianjin, and he happened to invite them personally during his trip.
When the rickshaw passed the police station, Xu Zhimo saw a group of people gathered around the roadside, and there was the sound of banging and banging.
"What?"
"Tackling the donation box."
"It's Dao Fei!"
"Concubine Dao is here too, everyone come and see!"
"..."
I saw Wenxiu standing on the steps in front of the police station, pointing to the wooden box that had just been fixed next to it, waving a small flag and saying: "This is a donation box of hope. Every penny in it will be used to build education. As long as
With everyone working together, one day, all children in China will be able to go to school..."
"good!"
There were cheers everywhere, but no one was willing to donate money. They all gathered around to watch the fun.
At this moment, a beggar with ragged clothes and dirty hair squeezed into the crowd and shouted: "Come on, come on, I want to donate money!"
"Hahahaha, it's strange that beggars also donate money."
"Beggars, will you donate the big steamed buns you collected today?"
"Isn't this Feng San'er? He lost his family fortune by eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, and now he is a beggar and still has a good heart?"
"..."
"What happened to the beggar? What happened to the beggar!" Feng San screamed at the top of his voice, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. I have decided to donate today!"
He took out more than ten copper coins from his pocket, thought about it and stuffed a few back, and put the rest into the donation box.
The copper hit the wooden box, making a "chop chop chop" sound, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
"good!"
"That's enough for a man!"
The onlookers suddenly burst into cheers.
Feng San saluted everyone with clasped fists and grinned: "I, Feng Laosan, am also a decent person today!"
"parking!"
Xu Zhimo looked at the beggar who was covered in filth and tattered clothes. He was suddenly deeply moved and had the urge to write a poem. He took out his money bag, counted ten silver dollars and walked to the donation box carefully.
Throw it in.
"Thank you, thank you two gentlemen!" Wenxiu bowed to the beggar and Xu Zhimo.
When Feng San saw Wen Xiu saluting him, he quickly bowed in return, and then laughed loudly: "Did you see that the imperial concubine saluted me, Feng Lao San!"
"Great job, I'll donate a few too!" Someone responded immediately.
About 20 people donated money one after another, but they were only copper coins, adding up to one or two yuan at most.
There were reporters taking pictures at the scene, but Xu Zhimo didn't want to get involved, so he silently returned to the rickshaw and asked the driver to continue on his way. After visiting several friends, Xu Zhimo took the car to the concession and went straight to the newspaper office of "Ta Kung Pao".
Now that the serialization of "The Rise of Great Powers" has ended, the Russian and Japanese chapters have caused great controversy. Because in the article, Zhou Hexuan predicted the rise of Soviet Russia and discussed Japan's mainland policy. He also said that Soviet Russia and Japan had a negative impact on China.
The threat is huge and it is constantly encroaching on Chinese territory. I hope the government and local warlords can pay attention to it.
There are many Chinese people who hold this view, but Zhou Hexuan came to this conclusion after in-depth analysis. The article reads so well-founded that one has to believe it.
Both the pro-Soviet and pro-Japanese factions expressed their dissatisfaction with Zhou Hexuan to some extent, and for a time he was pushed to the forefront. As for the Soviet Union and Japan, there was no reaction. After all, Zhou Hexuan wrote academic articles and published them in British journals.
According to the newspaper, it is impossible for the two governments to find Britain to protest.
Although Xu Zhimo didn't know such an influential figure, he wanted to pay him a visit. In addition to sending wedding invitations, he also had another task, which was to invite Zhou Hexuan to join the Literary Research Association on behalf of Zheng Zhenduo.
"Bang bang bang!"
Xu Zhimo knocked on the door of the president's room.
"Come in!"
Xu Zhimo pushed the door open, adjusted his glasses and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Xu Zhimo."
"It turns out to be Poet Xu, please come in!" Zhou Hexuan was quite surprised and didn't know what Xu Zhimo was looking for.
Xu Zhimo walked to his desk and sat down. He glanced at the manuscripts on the table and asked, "Mr. Zhou is writing again?"
"We are compiling textbooks." Zhou Hexuan stood up and poured water for Xu Zhimo.
Nowadays, education in the Republic of China is extremely chaotic. There is no unified textbook for the whole country. Each locality has its own way. Even the principals have the final say on what courses to teach.
"Mr. Zhou is really dedicated to education, I admire you." Xu Zhimo said sincerely. He is also a patriotic young man. He went abroad after being fed up with the warlords' melee. At first, he wanted to seek a way to save the country, and he studied political economics.
It's a pity that I got distracted in my studies and ended up focusing on poetry creation.
After chatting with each other for a few words, Zhou Hexuan asked: "What do you want Mr. Xu to do with me?"
"It's like this. Mr. Zheng Zhenduo knew that I was coming to Tianjin and specially entrusted me to invite Mr. Zhou to join the Literary Research Association." Xu Zhimo said and took out another invitation. "Also, I will get married on October 3. If Mr. Zhou
If you have time, I hope you can come to Peking to attend my wedding."
