The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China - Chapter 1037
“Because of learning Western culture, they unknowingly become slaves of foreign literature… Chinese people succumbed to Western culture by rejecting it, and arrogant and inferior to the inherent culture. Submission turned into faith, believing in what it was. He considers himself a loyal follower of a foreign doctrine; his inferiority complex has turned into self-pity, and he has the heart to insult China’s inherent cultural heritage.”
This passage is excerpted from “The Destiny of China”. Chang Kaishen’s original intention was to smear the Communist Party and democrats. Among them, “a certain theory” refers specifically to communism and liberalism. However, he continued to scold all the new youths since the May Fourth Movement. It seems that as long as the Chinese who have studied Western culture are all **** who have forgotten their ancestors, they are all lackeys who believe in Western culture.
“These national humiliations go against the hopes of our people, damage our people’s self-confidence, and arouse our people’s strong revolutionary demands. The May 4th Movement is the most obvious manifestation of this demand. Under the strong revolutionary demands of the people, the politics of warlords and bureaucrats , there is only one way to fall.”
Here, Chang Kaishen turned into a eulogy of the May 4th Movement, completely forgetting that he devalued the spirit of the May 4th Movement. His logic was the logic of double standards. He said that the New Culture Movement was to learn Western culture and politics for self-improvement. Communists and democrats forgot this starting point and became slaves to Western culture. However, the Kuomintang and his fellow Jiang kept the starting point in mind, so they were able to overthrow the Beiyang rule and become the great saviour of the Chinese people.
When discussing the corruption of Chinese ethics and morality caused by unequal treaties, Lao Jiang cited various ugly phenomena in the concession to prove his point. He believed that the concession was a shelter for prostitutes, gambling and bandits, and made China into a country where everyone has a good reputation and shameless.
Chang Kaishen also attacked Christianity in the book. He believed that the Confucian way of Confucianism can stabilize society, educate the people, and improve all things, while the introduction of Christianity will destroy the morality of the Chinese people from the foundation.
It seems that there is no concession, there will be no prostitutes, gambling and bandits in China. It seems that without Christianity, Confucianism can make China worship the good and obey the propriety.
From culture to politics, Chang Kaishen used Yuan Shikai’s proclamation as emperor and Cao Kun to promulgate a constitution for election bribery to demonstrate that Western political theory is not suitable for China’s reality. He believes that any Western theory should take into account China’s current situation, not just copying it, but adjusting and improving it in light of China’s local conditions. It seems to make sense. In fact, Chang Kaishen is very vaguely saying that those who believe in Marxism are scumbags, the democratic parties that believe in Western constitutionalism are also scumbags, and those who believe in Western culture and education are still scumbags—in China, dictatorship should be established. , In China, one should govern the country by virtue.
The above, how can Zhou Hexuan help him wash?
The book “The Destiny of China” offended the democratic parties, intellectuals, educators, Christians and Marxists at home and abroad.
Therefore, some people call the thoughts expressed by Chang Kaishen in the book “Boxer Thought”. Just like the Boxer Rebellion back then, foreigners’ things are garbage, and foreign oil, foreign fire, foreign lamps, and foreign cloth are all filth. It seems that as long as the foreign demons are eliminated, China will be rejuvenated and strong.
As for why China’s modern times are backward, why does traditional Chinese ideology and culture lead to the decline of the country’s power, Lao Jiang put all the responsibility on the Manchu Qing government. He believes that there is no problem with traditional Chinese culture, but it was distorted by the Manchus. As long as the mistakes of the Manchus are corrected, China can rely on its own inherent culture to develop.
This view can be very confusing, but he completely forgets that the cultural system of the Manchu Qing was inherited from the Ming Dynasty, and Confucianism was distorted to the limit as early as the Song Dynasty.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, he had already distorted Confucianism once. Even if the Confucian tradition is to be restored, Han Confucianism should be restored, with great unification and great revenge. Don’t be cowardly, just be rigid, not the Ming Confucian who was highly praised by Lao Jiang.
In Zhou Hexuan’s view, Chang Kaishen’s publication of “The Destiny of China” is nothing more than to strengthen cultural propaganda and set the tone for opposing the Communist Party and democratic constitutionalism. But his attack was too broad, and he didn’t know how to win over one faction to attack the other, but he actually stood up and shouted: “I’m not targeting anyone, everyone here is garbage!”
The most nonsense, what the **** is Lao Jiang attacking the westernization of education in the book? Even if some professors including the Southwest Associated University provoke you, there is no need to fire on all the people in the education circle.
When Zhou Hexuan was reading this book, he suddenly found himself being scolded, and he was being scolded in academic, ideological, educational and other aspects.
In fact, Chang Kaishen just scolded the Qing Dynasty, imperialism, Beiyang warlords, democratic parties and the Communist Party very clearly. But his ideological theory is too vague, the argumentation process is too vague, and the map cannon is too much, causing all readers to feel that they are being scolded – including Chang Kaishen and his wife Song Meiling are in the scope of being scolded.
As the saying goes, Lao Tzu became mad and even scolded himself!
When “Fate of China” was hated by readers, a month before the official publication of “Fifteen Years of Wanli”, a battle of Stalingrad in the East – the Battle of Shipai, broke out in China.
It was because the money for the project was deducted by greedy Mo, and he used bamboo poles and lime to build the river defense. Feng Yuxiang heard the news and shot the chief officer to justice.
On May 25th, the Japanese army of 100,000 troops attacked the Shipai Fortress, and the Chinese side successively invested 150,000 troops to defend it.
Shipai is located in the Three Gorges area, which is the only place to enter Sichuan. Once the Japanese army conquers Shi Pai, Sichuan will have no more danger to defend the fortress, the Japanese warships can go upstream very easily, and the accompanying capital Chongqing will also be seriously threatened.
The national army general who presided over the sticky mission was Hu Lian, who graduated from the fourth phase of Huangpu and belonged to Chen Cheng’s direct line.
Before the battle, Hu Lian had already written two suicide notes.
One is for his wife: “When the sons grow up, they still want to be a soldier to avenge their father and serve the country… I can be frugal at home, I can have food and clothing, I am poor and happy, and I have a clear lesson… More than ten years of military career. , I have a lot to say to you. I will say goodbye now, and I am deeply grateful. I will leave a gold watch, a fountain pen, a diary, and a book to commemorate… Life is a hundred years. …”
A letter to my father: “…If a son can die, the love of adults is also enough…”
He said to his soldiers: “From tomorrow onwards, we will face off against the enemy…to the last one, bury the bones of the enemy here, and write our name and blood on the rock of the stone tablet.”
In this battle, China’s only remaining air force and navy all entered the battle, but in front of the Japanese air force and navy, there is no comparison at all, and they can only play a small harassment and deterrent effect.
It was the army that really relied on, and various positions were bombarded and bombed, bombed and bombed by Japanese planes and warships. The soldiers of the 1st platoon of the 34th Division were fighting in the thorn woods. The Japanese invaders could not attack for a long time, so they called in planes to support them, and they blew the woods directly into bald stumps.
Although the national army resisted stubbornly, it was ultimately no match for the Japanese aggressors’ coordinated attack by sea, land and air, and the Japanese invaders gradually attacked the main positions outside the Shipai Fortress. Fortunately, the mountains were steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Japanese warships and tanks were useless, and they could only use mountain artillery in conjunction with aircraft bombing.
The national army could not withstand the powerful bombing firepower of the Japanese invaders, and the peripheral positions were quickly broken. At this time, General Hu Lian resolutely launched a hand-to-hand battle, ordering the soldiers to rush out to fight with the enemy, so that the Japanese planes would not dare to bombard recklessly.
The soldiers from both sides fought together, and no gunshots could be heard for three hours, because the hand-to-hand combat was so anxious that it was impossible to fire. This was the largest hand-to-hand battle in World War II.
After used hand-to-hand combat to drive the Japanese out of the main peripheral positions, the Japanese reorganized their attack the next day. The Chinese Air Force and the American Flying Tigers were frequently dispatched at this time. The Chinese Air Force bombed Japanese supply lines and airfields, while the Flying Tigers fought with Japanese aircraft and shot down 6 enemy planes. The Chinese navy, under the bombardment of Japanese planes, deployed drifting mines from upstream to prevent Japanese warships from cooperating with the army.
After another day and night of attacking, the Japanese army finally wavered and turned around and fled east.
In this battle, our army wounded and killed more than 7,000 enemy bandits.
The main general Hu Lian was promoted to deputy commander for his merits and won the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun.
