The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China - Chapter 1035
Due to arrangement and contact problems, the departure time of the visiting scholars group has been delayed.
Jin Yuelin became impatient, so he left Chongqing and took a boat to Lizhuang to raise chickens and take care of Lin Huiyin. While the other five scholars stayed in Chongqing with nothing to do all day, the Zhou Mansion became their salon meeting place.
It was the summer vacation, the children were all at home, and even Zhou Weilie came back from Kunming.
Regardless of whether the children can understand or not, as long as he chats with these scholars, Zhou Hexuan will ask his children to come and listen. All of them are masters. Even if they can’t understand the idea, it is still possible to let the children touch the literary spirit.
These scholars are very interesting. Although they are all bigwigs in the academic world, they fight like children.
Zhang Qiyun, who suggested that Chiang Kai-shek should withdraw from Taiwan, belonged to the “Xueheng School” in his early years. This school advocated the restoration of literature and opposed the New Culture Movement.
And Liu Naicheng belongs to the “constitutional school”. He highly appreciates the book “The Fifteen Years of Wanli”, because he advocates the cultivation of institutional spirit, which is exactly the same idea expressed in “The Fifteen Years of Wanli”.
Liu Naicheng and Zhang Qiyun have great differences on the current system construction in China. The former strongly advocates the westernization of the political system, and everything is based on the system and the law; the latter believes that moral construction cannot be ignored, and morality can make up for the deficiencies of the system, and China’s current situation does not allow the full realization of the rule of law.
Cai Qiao, the founder of Chinese physiology and a future academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was pulled in by the two to judge. Poor Cai Qiao knew nothing about politics and could only be a peacemaker in the middle.
Fei Xiaotong carefully analyzed the economy and people’s living conditions at the bottom of China from the perspective of sociology and anthropology. He believes that the slogans of the rule of law and morality are useless now. The governance of officials has collapsed from the center, and he can only win the war of resistance first, and then gradually solve the political problems.
Liu Naicheng was unhappy and immediately quarreled with Fei Xiaotong. He believed that it was precisely because of the War of Resistance that we could take this opportunity to realize constitutional government and carry out political reform with the righteousness of the country and the nation.
Everyone was arguing, only Xiao Zuoliang watched the play silently.
These six scholars are from different schools. Jin Yuelin represents Southwest Associated University, Fei Xiaotong represents Yunnan University, Cai Qiao represents Central University, Liu Naicheng represents Wuhan University, Zhang Qiyun represents Zhejiang University, and Xiao Zuoliang represents Sichuan University.
Among the six, Fei Xiaotong is the most famous and most well-known to Americans. His book “Economy of Jiangcun” was hailed as “a milestone in the development of anthropological field investigation and theoretical work” by the British and American circles as early as four years ago, and he is also a well-known figure in the international anthropological circle.
Xiao Zuoliang is the least famous, and is completely a foil. He was mentioned in later generations, often when discussing the Communist Party’s land reform policy. This monarch did a lot of research on the Communist Party’s land reform history.
After arguing for more than half a month, these scholars finally set off. Jin Yuelin also put down Lin Huiyin and returned quickly. Their route to the United States is to take the hump route to India first, and then to the United States by sea, which is very dangerous along the way.
The so-called “Hump” is a mountain pass at the southern foot of the Himalayas, and it was the only way for international aid in the late period of the Anti-Japanese War.
At the beginning, due to the performance of the transport aircraft, the pilot could only fly at a low altitude, and had to cross the labyrinth of the Himalayas. Later, the transport plane was improved, and finally no low-altitude flight was required, but the bad weather and the interception of the Japanese plane also made the hump route extremely high in distress.
Fairbank also wanted to invite Zhou Hexuan to go to the United States to communicate this time, but Zhou Hexuan refused to do it, because he was afraid of falling into the Himalayas.
After the scholars left, Zhou Hexuan called Zhou Weilie and Zhou Lingjun and asked them to talk about their thoughts on listening to the quarrel of top scholars. As for the other children, there is no need. Because they are too young, they will definitely not be able to learn a little bit of roughness.
Zhou Lingjun concluded: “Uncle Liu always speaks the truth, and Uncle Zhang is very stubborn. The more they quarreled, the more confused they became. I think Uncle Fei won the fight. Uncle Liu and Uncle Zhang didn’t talk much afterwards.”
“Weilie, what do you think?” Zhou Hexuan asked.
Zhou Weilie said with contempt: “It’s no use arguing, it’s better to do something practical.”
Zhou Hexuan laughed: “This kind of quarrel is really useful at the national level. You can’t do things recklessly, you must determine the correct way of thinking. Just like when you solve a math problem, you must first grasp the key points of the problem, and then determine the method to use. Answer. Do you think this is the truth?”
“That’s right, we have to figure out the crux of the problem first.” Zhou Weilie nodded.
Zhou Hexuan asked Duanmu Hongliang again, “What do you think about Jingping?”
Duanmu Hongliang has lived in Zhou Mansion for several months, and helped Zhou Hexuan to check a lot of Ming history materials. He said: “Professor Fei Xiaotong’s starting point is the actual situation at the bottom of society. He has inspected many villages and towns in Yunnan, and he uses data to speak everywhere. Professor Zhang Qiyun focuses on the overall situation and considers it from the perspective of the government. And Professor Liu Naicheng is keen Regarding the system construction, he wants to set up the institutional framework first and then carry out reforms. However, the views of Professor Zhang and Professor Liu are a bit out of the real situation in China, which is taken for granted.”
Zhou Hexuan sighed and said, “This is how China is now. The bureaucrats in the central government are as divorced from the grassroots as Zhang Qiyun. And most free scholars are thinking about constitutionalism every day and blindly pursuing democracy like Liu Naicheng. People like Fei Xiaotong On the contrary, there are very few, and they have no right to speak. They can only bury their heads in the pile of paper. Lu Yuwen, the director of grains of Henan Province, was right when he was an economist, but when he was in power, his **** decided his head. A mess.”
During the famine in Henan, the attitudes of the military and political factions were very bizarre, completely contrary to people’s consistent thinking.
It stands to reason that soldiers should ignore the people for the sake of military rations, and the government should reduce requisitions for the sake of the people.
But on the contrary, with the exception of Tang Enbo, who was extortionate, most of the generals on the Henan side advocated disaster relief. Jiang Dingwen, commander-in-chief of the First Theater Command, called on his soldiers to save two taels of food every day and use the remaining rations to help the victims. Sichuan army general Li Jiayu was so worried about the disaster, he went to find He Yingqin, but was reprimanded by He Yingqin.
On the contrary, officials of the Henan government disregarded the famine from top to bottom, under the banner of purchasing military supplies and serving the country during the Anti-Japanese War.
“So the National Government is about to die, and the future will be dominated by the Communist Party.” Duanmu Hongliang made no secret of his pro-Communist attitude.
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, “Don’t say this when you go out.”
Duanmu Hongliang said: “Teacher, I’m going to Guangxi, Mr. Ouyang Yuqian invited me to join the Guangxi Art Museum, specializing in creating patriotic plays of the Anti-Japanese War.”
Zhou Hexuan didn’t hold back and said, “If you don’t have enough travel expenses, go to Leyi to get it.”
