Crimson Dawn

Chapter 44

Xie Mingxian, 24 years old, native of Hunan, scholar.Although he is not tall, he still looks quite straight, but what impressed Chen Ke the most was Xie Mingxian's pair of amber eyes.Amber is not as pale as yellow, nor is it dull.To be precise, the Chinese are not black-haired and black-eyed, but a deep brown that is unique to China.That is, a little bit of yellow is added to the black.Thick without losing a kind of warmth.Compared with this extremely dark color, amber is very eye-catching.And Xie Mingxuan didn't like to talk usually, his bright eyes looked at everything happening around him calmly, as if he had something to express, but he was so silent.

Chen Ke spoke highly of Xie Mingxian, every time Xie Mingxian was asked to do something, Xie Mingxian could always complete it well.Chen Ke still remembered the first time when Xie Mingxian was recruited. At that time, this young man neither showed off nor flaunted his reputation as a "scholar", but had an attitude of working and getting paid.In this day and age, it is a very rare quality to see.Later, when Chen Ke wanted to continue to hire Xie Mingxian, Xie Mingxian expressed that he hoped to work more and get more money.Not even willing to take political classes for free.Later, Chen Ke said that he would still pay Xie Mingxian for the lectures, so Xie Mingxian took his notebook and came to the lectures seriously.

Because he was worried about giving lectures to Fudan students, Chen Ke wrote a manuscript full of "nationalist sentiment". In China, there will be enough market for this kind of article.In the end, Xie Mingxian's evaluation turned out to be "nothing to say".

Chen Ke knew that this kind of nationalist incitement was always empty-handed.From Chen Ke's political point of view, all the so-called ethnic stuff is a false proposition.The birth of nationalism is the product of social development, so nationalism must disappear in the process of social development.As a communist, or more precisely, a Maoist, Chen Ke didn't like the concept of nation at all.Class struggle is the root of social contradictions, and advocating nationalism itself is a means, not such an illusory thing that really exists.In Chinese tradition, there is familialism and the distinction between Chinese and barbarians.But there was never a tradition of nationalism.The Chu culture was still a standard Nanman culture in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it is still a treasure of Chinese culture now.If we have to talk about blood, most of the Chinese people whose ancestors were "barbarians" are probably the majority.Chen Ke has blood type B, has a Mongolian spot birthmark, and has double toenails on his little toe. It stands to reason that this is the performance of standard Hun blood.But first of all, Chen Ke is a Chinese through and through, including himself and the people around him, and no one has ever doubted it.

No one would ever think that Xiongnu culture is Chinese culture, but Mr. Sima Qian clearly recorded in "Historical Records" that Xiongnu is also a standard Yanhuang Miao.From the perspective of the division of labor in human society, the separation of nomadic and farming created the nomadic Huns in the north.The oldest nomadic enemy in China is just a branch of Huaxia.Later, the Xiongnu merged into China again. How many "descendants of the Huns" sacrificed their lives to defend China is impossible to count.Chen Ke is still like this as an ordinary person, so Chen Ke doesn't like the so-called "nationalism".

Xie Mingxian was able to completely deny nationalism and think that Chen Ke's provocative speech had nothing to say. This insight is not ordinary.

Looking at Xie Mingxian's slightly bored expression, Chen Ke couldn't help asking: "What does Mingxian think? Please tell me bluntly."

Seeing Xie Mingxian's appearance, he had something to say to Chen Ke a long time ago, his lips were slightly taut, it seemed that he had made up his mind.Sure enough, Xie Mingxian replied: "Mr. Wenqing, when I first met you, to be honest, I thought you were a fake foreign devil. I didn't like you. Later, I felt that your book was reasonable and not heretical. I was right. Mr. Wenqing looked at him with admiration. But Mr. Wenqing, the so-called employment is not suspicious. If you use me, please believe me. Do whatever you want me to do. If Mr. Wenqing thinks what you said is right, then I will do it. After getting up, you will naturally follow Mr. Wen Qing’s instructions. You are giving lectures every day. You can’t wait to let us think and do exactly what Mr. Wen Qing said. No matter how good you speak, how can you help? Now write again After reading such an article, I don’t even know what Mr. Wenqing is going to do.”

This is a very serious word, if it were someone else, Xie Mingxian would never say it so bluntly.But for some reason, Xie Mingxian believed that Chen Ke could understand and accept his thoughts.I don't know why, although Xie Mingxian has a lot of dissatisfaction with Chen Ke, but he is very confident in Chen Ke's temperament.Xie Mingxian is a scholar, and he has seen some famous teachers.In all fairness, although Xie Mingxian didn't like Chen Ke at first, he still really admired Chen Ke's knowledge.Although at the beginning, as Xie Mingxian said, he didn't like Chen Ke himself, but after a long time, he also felt that Chen Ke was not an annoying guy.And on the surface, Chen Ke was still able to listen to other people's words.Moreover, Chen Ke was relatively rich, and Xie Mingxian very much hoped that he could take on more work under Chen Ke and earn a fortune.Unexpectedly, although Chen Ke has many money-making techniques, he doesn't seem to care too much about it.Instead, come up with new ideas.Xie Mingxian had been dissatisfied for a long time, and today he couldn't help it, so he simply told the truth.

After Xie Mingxian finished speaking in one breath, seeing Chen Ke's solemn expression, he felt that he might have spoken too seriously.With Chen Ke, he doesn't earn much, but Chen Ke is finally a literati, and the work he does is not manual labor.If Ran Xie Mingxian went to find a job now, he also felt that he might not be able to find this type of job. If Chen Ke turned his face in a fit of anger... Thinking of this, Xie Mingxian was also a little apprehensive, and he said: "This is also my own opinion. , Mr. Wen Qing, please forgive me for any inappropriateness."

Chen Ke fell into deep thought. He didn't guess what Xie Mingxian was thinking, and what he was thinking had nothing to do with Xie Mingxian.Xie Mingxian's complaints made Chen Ke suddenly realize something that was confusing him recently. "How should the revolutionary work go on?"

It must be said that Chen Ke himself is not a revolutionary trying to break everything.Born in China at the end of the 20th century who had initially completed industrialization, Chen Ke had the word "system" instilled in his bones since he was a child.If it is said that the party at that time relied on theoretical study to build a real industrial party in China, an agricultural country, then Chen Ke's awareness really met Marx's original wish.The works written by Marx were originally intended for the people of industrial countries to read.Chen Ke is completely within this "scope of application".

Chen Ke knows "right and wrong", but he himself may not be an innovative person.Without enough social practice, it is not easy to make a breakthrough in theory.Back in this era, everything Chen Ke did was "imitation".imitation of predecessors.And the nature of Chen Ke's "system" made it impossible for him to accept "making mistakes".In the history of the party, many mistakes were made at this stage.This is an inevitability. Without experiencing failure, it is naturally impossible to sum up experience and embark on the right path.Chen Ke used to be a teacher. During this not too long period of his life, Chen Ke understood one thing.If the teacher is really serious about teaching, then in the teaching process, the teacher's gains are much greater than that of the students.Because students only make their own mistakes, and teachers have seen countless mistakes through students.

The correct path is not a straight line in theory. He has experienced countless failures and mistakes, and finally found the right path.This process is not done by learning, but by practice.Chen Ke made a metaphor. What the students see ahead is often an insurmountable mountain, but in Chen Ke's view, it is one or even multiple mountain roads.This is not only Chen Ke's own practice, but also includes many things Chen Ke has learned from the students' practice.

From the perspective of this experience, Chen Ke should let everyone practice and experience the revolution by themselves at this stage.What Chen Ke has to do is to analyze the results of these practices with everyone and explore the correct path.Chen Ke himself had no revolutionary experience.And even though Chen Kexian wanted to practice, Chen Ke was temporarily tied up by a lot of work, and he didn't have the time to go to the grassroots.The result is that Chen Kexian is desperately instilling theoretical knowledge to students and comrades.But the students don't seem to appreciate it.

Faced with the current difficulties, what we need is solutions and what we need is to do it, not to learn some theories that are completely divorced from practice.Xie Mingxian in front of him is an example, as are the students in the school who are dissatisfied with Chen Ke.As long as they are given opportunities to practice, students and comrades will definitely make great progress.

But Chen Ke also knew that once he entered the practice period, things would definitely get out of Chen Ke's control.Reality is always stranger than the most exaggerated fiction, just as the same physical theory can produce different understandings among students.When Chen Ke was in high school, there was a classmate who made all the mistakes in the multiple-choice questions. Even if it was a multiple-choice question, if there was only one wrong answer, this classmate could only choose the wrong answer and give up all the correct answers.The physics teacher at the time was not angry. Instead, he thought that the student had really worked hard.Otherwise, Guangmeng's answer would never have such a result.

A revolution is not a dinner party, and a revolution is not an exam paper.If you let the comrades do it freely, there will be various losses. Chen Keke is not confident to solve all the problems at any time.Moreover, the revolution will ruthlessly abandon many people, which has long been proved by countless examples.Chen Ke asked himself. When reading history books, Chen Ke could still agree with "killing decisively", but in the face of these classmates and comrades who got along day and night, Chen Ke couldn't make up his mind.

While thinking, the door opened.Yu Youren opened the door and came in. When he saw Chen Ke, Yu Youren's face was full of surprise. "Mr. Chen is here."

Quickly putting aside other thoughts, Chen Ke stood up and said, "Mr. Yu, I'm here to apologize."

After hearing this, Yu Youren laughed, "Students are young and energetic, what does it have to do with Mr. Chen. If you say that you are guilty, wouldn't I be even more guilty as a teacher?"

After everyone sat down, Yu Youren roughly talked about what happened this time. The so-called fighting is naturally not a life-and-death struggle, not even punching and kicking.It was nothing more than a few pushes and shoves by the students, and a piece of clothing was torn.Everyone yelled fiercely, and some words were more "radical", but Fudan Public School didn't care much about it.The students these days are already radical, and yelling a few words of rebellion is a common thing, and no one really takes it easy.The matter has been settled, and the two parties to the dispute have gone back to the dormitory.

Chen Ke's purpose this time is to resolve the internal conflicts of the Huangpu Society, and he also wants to say hello to Mr. Ma Xiangbo on the way.In any case, the reason why the students fight is themselves.If you don't show up at all, it's not appropriate.No matter how high-sounding the mouth of a creature like a literati is, if the other party doesn't even have basic respect, it's easy to hold grudges.In this regard, it has nothing to do with fame.According to the position of the united front, this aspect must not be ignored.

Hearing that Chen Ke proposed to visit Mr. Ma, Yu Youren said that Mr. Ma was at school.Chen Ke immediately said that he wanted to visit now.Yu Youren led the way, and the group walked across the campus to Mr. Ma Xiangbo's office.Chen Ke is a celebrity in Fudan Public School, and many people have listened to his lectures.Seeing Chen Ke appearing, many students were greeting Chen Ke.The attitude of ordinary students is very good, but some students from Huangpu Institute are not very satisfied.Seeing Chen Ke coming, they looked at Chen Ke uncomfortably, and two of them simply turned around and walked in other directions, not knowing what they wanted to do.

When he arrived at Mr. Ma's office, Yu Youren opened the door. Chen Ke saw a familiar face inside at a glance. After careful identification, it was Cai Yuanpei.Cai Yuanpei was quite surprised to see Chen Ke coming in.It has been more than two months since the last time they met, and neither of them planned to have a deep friendship, but they did not expect to meet here today.

"Wen Qing, do you know He Qing?" Mr. Ma Xiangbo saw some clues and asked.

"I met Mr. Cai once." Chen Ke said with a smile.

The gentleman just responded.

"This time I made a special trip to apologize to Mr. Ma." Chen Ke didn't want to entangle Cai Yuanpei, he said hastily.

"Wen Qing is too polite." Mr. Ma Xiangbo said openly.

After chatting for a while, Cai Yuanpei interrupted casually, "I read Wen Qing's masterpiece a few days ago. When I saw Wen Qing before, I really didn't know that Wen Qing's talent is so good."

"It's not my fault alone. When writing that book, this Xie Mingxian also helped a lot." Chen Ke introduced Xie Mingxian to Ma Xiangbo and Cai Yuanpei.Now that Chen Ke had said it, the attention of the two of them naturally turned to Xie Mingxian.Anyway, that's how literati meet when they meet, and everyone is very polite.After chatting for a while, Chen Ke apologized again, seeing that Mr. Ma Xiangbo didn't mean to blame him, he got up and left.

After leaving Mr. Ma Xiangbo's office, he saw a few people standing in the distance, and the leader was Xiong Mingyang.Seeing Chen Ke coming out, he came straight towards Chen Ke.Yu Youren was right, Xiong Mingyang was not injured as expected, but seeing him clenching his fists, deliberately throwing his arms aside, striding over with arrogance, Chen Ke stood where he was and waited for him to come.

Xiong Mingyang walked up to Chen Ke, looked him up and down, with a mocking expression on his face.He emphasized with a kind of hypocrisy unique to literati, "Mr. Chen, you actually explained that you came to school. I drank too much, talked nonsense when I was drunk, and caused trouble for Mr. Chen. Here I will accompany you." After finishing speaking , he put his fists together and bowed slightly in a pretentious manner.

"You also understand revolution? After reading a few books, you feel like you can make revolution?" Chen Ke laughed.

"What?" Xiong Mingyang really didn't expect that Chen Ke's words came up like this, and the dark color of ridicule on his face suddenly turned into astonishment.

"The Huangpu Institute is about to start social investigation activities, the purpose of which is to investigate the current situation in China. You think you want a revolution. If you don't know what China looks like, how can you make a revolution?"

"Does the revolution still need to be investigated..."

"How many do you think the common people know about land cession and compensation? I'm not talking about the common people, but you, I think you know a lot. Let me ask you, do you know how many treaties Europe, America and China have signed? What are they all about? What is the impact of the treaty on China? Can you tell me now?" Chen Ke's face was already very cold, and there was even a mocking look on his face.

There were a few students who came with Xiong Mingyang, and they all seemed to support Xiong Mingyang, and their faces were originally full of dissatisfaction.After Chen Ke asked him such a slap in the face, the expressions of Xiong Mingyang and others immediately changed into embarrassment.The arrogant arrogance flew to the sky.

"Forget it today. Go and gather all the members of the society, and go to the society for a meeting at seven o'clock tomorrow night. I will assign the social investigation work to everyone. Don't be arrogant." After Chen Ke finished speaking, although Xiong Mingyang was already discouraged Yes, but there is still a look of shame.Chen Ke handed him the manuscript he had written, "If you want to hear beautiful words, I have plenty here. Read this first. I wrote it by hand when I was in school today. See how it differs from the lectures I usually give. "

After finishing speaking, Chen Ke didn't wait for Xiong Mingyang to speak, and took Xie Mingxian away.

It wasn't until he walked out of the school gate that Chen Ke asked, "Ming Xian, you said you want to take on some work, but you don't know what you want to do."

"A job that can earn money. I need to earn some money." Xie Mingxian said frankly.

"It's good to want to make money, but can you tell me why?"

"This..." Chen Ke asked the purpose bluntly, but Xie Mingxian found it difficult to say the reason.

"I have no other intentions. If you want to make money, you must have determination. Different reasons bring different determination. You tell your reasons, and I can arrange a job that suits you."

Hearing what Chen Ke said, Xie Mingxian also felt that it made sense. He plucked up his courage and said: "I want to take my mother out, and I must have a family business first. Therefore, Mr. Wen Qing, it doesn't matter how hard or tired you are. Just make money."

"This determination is not small. But can Ming Xian talk about it in detail." Chen Ke asked with a smile.

"It's about my family's private affairs, I'm sorry."
