"Mr. Deng is so complimentary." Geng Chaozhong cupped his hands and sat down.
He didn't want to be in the limelight, but he also didn't want to be looked down upon. Yanda was a place where celebrities gathered. Here, a person with little knowledge had no status at all.
Mr. Deng nodded, walked quickly back to the podium with his hands behind his back, looked around the audience, and asked:
"Everyone, do you know why I ask this question?"
Everyone in the audience looked at each other, not knowing why.
Mr. Deng shook his head, looked at the audience, and said, "Who will stand up and recite a passage on the Six Kingdoms for everyone? Let's talk about the land and the Qin Dynasty."
A boy in the front row stood up and began to recite the famous "Theory of Six Kingdoms":
"Today we will cut five cities, and tomorrow we will cut ten cities, and then we will have a good night's rest. We will look around the surrounding areas, and the Qin army has arrived again. However, the land of the princes is limited, and they have an insatiable desire to violently attack Qin. If they serve more and more, they will invade more and more."
Urgent. Therefore, the victory of the strong and the weak has been decided without fighting. The ancients said: The land serves Qin, and it is still the same as holding firewood to put out the fire. If the firewood is not exhausted, the fire will never be extinguished. This is true. Bribing Qin and losing its strength is the way to destruction.
!”
"good!"
Mr. Deng clapped his hands suddenly, raised his arms, pointed to the north, and said sternly:
"Because, the Japanese are just outside the city! In March 1, the Japanese occupied Northeast China. In March 2, the Japanese occupied Rehe. Now in March 3, the Japanese have already reached Beiping City. We are all the way
Retreat, give way all the way. I heard that we are now in peace talks with the Japanese again. I want to ask, when will it end?!
We ceded the Northeast, we ceded Rehe, and now we have to cede North China. If we keep doing this, I am afraid that within ten years we will not have even an inch of ground to stand on!"
Everyone looked serious and listened quietly.
"Some people also say: If industry is inferior to people and weapons are inferior to people, how can we resist the war? How absurd this statement is!
If you dare not fight or fight, it will only make the other party more aggressive and arrogant!
There is an old saying: When an ordinary man is angry, his blood will be splashed five steps; when an emperor is angry, his blood will be splashed across the oars!
An ordinary man can be angry, but what about the country? What about the nation? If a country has no backbone, even if it is fat and strong, it is just a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered!"
Wow!
As soon as Mr. Deng finished speaking, there was a burst of thunderous applause from the audience. Geng Chaozhong couldn't help but look excited. This Mr. Deng really cares about the country and the people, like a famous person from ancient times!
Mr. Deng spoke for a long time and could not help but feel a little out of breath. He shook his hand, glanced at Geng Chaozhong, and said slowly:
"Just now Zhou Xuanhe said that in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor controlled the gate of the country. Where was the gate of the country? It was the city of Beijing! Although Chongzhen hung himself on the Meishan Mountain outside the city in the end, he died well and lived up to the trust of his ancestors! A king who subjugated his country can still do it
So, what about us?”
Everyone looked thoughtful.
Mr. Deng sighed, waved his hand and said:
"However, I am not saying that everyone should go out of the city and fight to the death with the Japanese right now. As students, learning is the first priority. Only by mastering more knowledge can we create more guns and more weapons for the country.
Cannons can also cultivate more talents for the country. But if that day comes, I also hope that everyone will not live like a dog and live in an ignoble way, let alone work as a tiger to oppress our compatriots!"
...........
Mr. Deng’s lecture lasted for more than an hour before it came to an end. After the lecture, Mr. Deng waved his hand to signal Geng Chaozhong to come over, then handed over the "Changgu Collection" that Geng Chaozhong had brought to him, and asked
road:
"Where did Mr. Zhou work before?"
"I once studied in the United States. After returning to China, I just wrote some random words and sold them to make a living. This time I came to Yanda to work as a library associate." Geng Chaozhong answered respectfully.
"Oh? That's considered well-informed," Mr. Deng nodded slightly, "Although the assistant library manager is tired, one good thing is that he can study anytime and anywhere. If things go on like this, his knowledge will definitely improve."
"Thank you sir for your advice. The students think the same way." Geng Chaozhong replied with a smile.
"Okay, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can come and sit in my classroom more often."
Mr. Deng waved his hand, turned and left.
Geng Chaozhong took the book and was about to return to the library. After walking a few steps, he heard light footsteps behind him. When he looked back, he saw Zhao Ersheng holding the book and following him quickly. Geng Chaozhong smiled and said:
"Why, you want to go to the library too?"
"Yeah, I happened to be on my way, so I'll go with you!" Zhao Ersheng said with a smile at Yan Yan.
Geng Chaozhong said oh without saying much, and the two of them walked side by side along the corridor.
Although it was good for Geng Chaozhong to go to class because he had something to worry about, it was only necessary to hide his identity. He also had a lot of cultural relics on hand, which were now stored in the staff dormitory of Yanda. How to transport them back to Nanjing was still a problem.
Yanyuan covers a large area, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk from the classroom to the library. Geng Chaozhong had something on his mind, so he walked even faster. After walking for a while, he felt that there was no one around him, so he stopped and apologized.
Come back.
Zhao Ersheng was holding the book and chasing after him with a look of grievance on his face.
She was petite and only reached 1.6 meters tall. Geng Chaozhong was tall and walked very fast. He only walked for five minutes before he dropped her by more than ten meters.
"How come you don't have any gentlemanly manners..."
Zhao Ersheng finally caught up and complained with his mouth bulging.
"I'm really sorry," Geng Chaozhong said a little apologetically, "I'm used to taking the fast road, I'm sorry."
Geng Chaozhong slowed down his pace, and the two of them walked along the Weiming Lake. The scenery of the lake, mountains, and sparkling waves made them feel like they were walking together.
"You are so strange. You were so eloquent in class just now, but now you are silent. Do you think I don't understand anything and don't bother to talk to me?" Seeing that Geng Chaozhong was silent, the little girl felt a little bit
angry.
Geng Chaozhong was stunned and turned to look at Zhao Ersheng. He saw that the little girl was slightly angry and looked very angry.
This little girl is really troublesome....
"No, no, there's been a lot going on in the library recently, and I've been very busy. I was just thinking about where to put this book. By the way, what major are you studying?" Geng Chaozhong chuckled and asked.
topic.
"Education, my dad said, it is better for girls to become teachers when they grow up." Zhao Ersheng immediately became happy when he saw Geng Chaozhong finally speaking.
"Oh, you haven't grown up yet?" Geng Chaozhong found it very funny and couldn't help but joke.
"You haven't grown up yet!" Zhao Ersheng stomped his feet angrily, but with his cute and innocent look, he looked more like a little girl.
"Haha!" Geng Chaozhong laughed, "It's good to be a teacher. It would also be good to find a women's public school to teach and educate people in the future."
"Actually, I don't want to be a teacher," Zhao Ersheng's big eyes showed a bit of confusion, "I want to be a judge, the kind of justice who pleads for the people, just like Mr. Zheng Yuxiu."
"You? Be a judge?" Geng Chaozhong laughed.
"You laughed at me again!"
Zhao Ersheng was really angry this time. She stretched out her leg and kicked Geng Chaozhong lightly and asked, "Do you know who Mr. Zheng Yuxiu is?"
"I really don't know about that." Geng Chaozhong smiled and shook his head.
"She is a barrister in Shanghai and the first female lawyer in the Republic of China. She represented Mei Lanfang and Meng Xiaodong in their divorce case. Isn't she great?" Zhao Ersheng's face was full of admiration.
"Awesome," Geng Chaozhong nodded solemnly, "When you become a lawyer, you can specialize in handling divorce cases for others. If you encounter someone who doesn't want to divorce, you can use your sharp tongue and say nothing.
We have to let them go!”
Zhao Ersheng nodded first, then woke up immediately, clenched his fist and hit Geng Chaozhong hard several times:
