"Xiaonan, Xiaoning, say goodbye to daddy!" Yu Peichen said while holding his two daughters.
"See you, Dad!" Zhou Ning waved her little hands and shouted in a sweet voice.
"Wow wow wow!!" Zhou Nan burst into tears suddenly, as if he vaguely understood that he was about to separate from his father.
Zhou Ning turned to look at her sister, stunned, and started crying as if she was infected.
Zhou Hexuan quickly hugged his daughter and kissed and comforted her for a while, finally making the two little guys burst into laughter.
Zhou Hexuan hugged Vivien Leigh again, who came to see her off: "Vivian, take care of yourself in the United States, and send me a telegram if anything happens."
Vivien Leigh was wearing a windbreaker, sunglasses and a hat. She stood on tiptoes and kissed Zhou Hexuan's forehead and said, "I will do it. Don't worry."
"Goodbye, sisters!" Ma Jue also smiled and waved.
"goodbye!"
Zhou Hexuan happened to catch a smooth sailing boat when he returned to China this time and left with the US special envoy to China.
The special envoy to China on this trip is Laughlin Currie, who is Roosevelt's senior administrative assistant and is visiting China as Roosevelt's personal representative.
In the study of modern history, many scholars believe that Curry's visit to China was invited by Song Ziwen to discuss the upcoming "Concession Act" and to obtain more US aid. In fact, this understanding is wrong because it is often
When Keshen and Soong extended the invitation to visit, the Lend-Lease Act had not yet been introduced in the U.S. Congress.
In fact, Chang Kaishen invited Hopkins, Roosevelt's close adviser, with the purpose of achieving a Far East cooperation plan among China, Britain and the United States. But Hopkins left for Britain some time ago, so Roosevelt appointed Curry as his administrative assistant.
as special envoy.
Not only that, Hemingway and his wife were also members of this special mission. It was Hemingway who later won the Nobel Prize for writing "The Old Man and the Sea".
Hemingway's apparent identity was the U.S. government's special commissioner and reporter for Currier's magazine and the Afternoon Newspaper, but his true intention was to be sent by Roosevelt to investigate the "Southern Anhui Incident" and the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so as to facilitate the U.S. government's formulation of specific aid programs.
Hua plan.
Historically, Hemingway and his wife secretly met with Duke Zhou in Chongqing.
Martha (Hemingway's wife) was impressed by Zhou Gong's demeanor at that time. She later recalled: "We thought that Zhou was a winner and the only truly good man we had ever seen in China. If he was a typical Chinese
If the Communist Party, then China's future will be theirs. For me, I have been strongly attracted by this charming man."
And Hemingway recalled: "Zhou was a man of great charm and wisdom. He maintained close contact with the embassies of all countries in China. He succeeded in making almost everyone who came into contact with him in Chongqing,
They all accept the Communist Party’s position on whatever happened.”
When Hemingway returned to the United States to meet Roosevelt, he directly predicted: "After this war, the Communist Party will definitely take over China, because the best people in that country are Communists." He also wrote a report on the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party,
And it was clearly pointed out in the report: Chang Kaishen regarded Japan as a "skin disease" and regarded the "China red disaster" as a serious concern.
…
The U.S. special envoy to China took the passenger ship "Matt Nissan", which can only go to Hawaii, where they will transfer to a Pan American Airways flight to Hong Kong.
Zhou Hexuan met Currie and the Hemingway couple on the boat. The three of them shook hands very warmly and greeted: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am very happy to be traveling with you."
"I'm very happy too, why don't you go have a few drinks?" Zhou Hexuan invited.
The three Americans were all obviously drunkards, and they said happily: "It's a very good suggestion."
Martha Gellhorn sat skillfully at the bar, raised her glass and said, "Mr. Zhou, I really like your rock song, it's very exciting!"
"My pleasure." Zhou Hexuan smiled.
Hemingway said: "Martha has always wanted to go to China since she saw your "The Lady"."
Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said: "The current situation in China is very bad. You must be mentally prepared."
"War is very familiar to me," Martha said. "I have reported on the Spanish Civil War and the Soviet-Finnish War. I know what war means to a country. I hope to understand China and write about China's situation for people to know."
People all over the world know it.”
"Thank you very much, I'd like to toast you!" Zhou Hexuan raised his glass.
Martha Gellhorn is a female writer and war correspondent. She and Hemingway met in a bar and became Hemingway's third wife a month ago. Well, she herself is also married for the second time.
This couple has a lot in common. They are both writers, war reporters, and both ended their lives by suicide. Even the reasons for their previous divorces were the same because they were not in harmony with their partner's ideas.
However, Martha Gellhorn was more aggressive. When she was in Chongqing, just by asking questions, she could make Soong Meiling furious and swear.
No, before she even said a few nice words, Martha started to expose Zhou Hexuan's shortcomings: "Mr. Zhou, I heard that you have a very good personal relationship with Hitler?"
"Who did you listen to?" Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile.
Martha said: "I came back from the Finnish battlefield interview. I went to Berlin on the way and discovered something very interesting. Your works have been completely banned in Germany. After my careful investigation, it seems that Hitler himself
Order given."
"Then what?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
Martha said: "Then I continued the investigation and got clues from an SS man. You, Mr. Zhou, an internationally renowned anti-fascist fighter, was once a guest of Hitler. Hitler even designed a pistol himself and gave it to you."
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "The King of England, George VI, once admired Hitler. Do you think the King of England will collude with the fascists?"
"Of course not," Martha said, "but after my careful investigation, I found that the new version of the German Nazi's racist propaganda was published after you visited Germany. So I have always wanted to interview you about the Nazi's racist propaganda.
What role do you play in this?"
Zhou Hexuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Madam, you are not interviewing me, you are maliciously slandering me."
Martha smiled and said: "Are you angry? I'm just..."
"Honey," Hemingway interrupted, "you can drink a few less drinks, and you can also say a few less drunken words."
Special Envoy Curry also smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou, can you tell me about the situation in China? I think I should be more fully prepared for my work."
"As you wish, Mr. Special Envoy." Zhou Hexuan said.
Currie asked: "What do you think of the recent Wannan Incident?"
Zhou Hexuan said: "I express my strong condemnation. The Chinese people need to unite as one instead of fighting among themselves before driving away the enemy."
"What about the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party?" Hemingway also began to investigate.
