Reborn superpower

() Although Zao Wou-ki is talking about history, it does not feel boring at all.Because, as a reborn person, Zao Wou-ki naturally has many conclusions for future generations, and his understanding of history is more "thorough" than the history experts of this era.Moreover, Zao Wou-Ki's diction also contains many fashionable vocabulary of later generations, which is particularly fascinating.

Tens of thousands of students can be said to be fascinated by it.

However, there are no absolutes.Over the years, Huaxia has indeed bred some dissidents and some ideological freaks.When Zao Wou-ki was halfway through his speech, his podium was full of papers for asking questions.Moreover, Zao Wou-ki doesn't even need to think about it, these questions are particularly harsh.

In the second half of the speech, some people also shouted slogans: "We don't need preaching, we need democracy and freedom!" Of course, these voices were quickly suppressed by the speech organizers.

Zao Wou-ki asked college students to ask questions in the form of "slices of paper". This is the best way for him to understand this era.Because, the signal of an era is first manifested in the youth.

However, these students obviously didn't want Zhao Wou-ki to pass the test easily.

The questions on these notes can be roughly divided into four categories: one is about Zao Wou-ki’s personal and life problems; the other is about when China will catch up with the developed countries, and this one is obviously patriotic and anxious; The class is a question about some ugly phenomena in society, such as bureaucracy and corruption. Is there a solution?This type of question belongs to realists who care about current affairs; the fourth type refers directly to the so-called democracy and freedom. They deny the traditional Chinese culture and traditional spirit, and carry out the most thorough changes in society, preferably completely Westernized...

In Zhao Wuji's view, these people are just young students after all.It can be said that it is far worse than the "public knowledge" of later generations.The "public knowledge" of later generations.They often put themselves first in the position of spokesperson for the public.From a moral point of view, we should put ourselves in an invincible position first. We are people who "plead for the lives of the people", don't we?Do you still dare to deal with me?

It is true that among those people who make a living out of "opinions", there are many people who truly love this country and nation, but.It cannot be said that they are really loyal.

As a reborn, Zao Wou-ki has insight far beyond this era.Huaxia needs different voices and even different forces to cleanse some outdated concepts and habits, but Huaxia absolutely does not need the kind of person who advocates the abolition of square characters at every turn, and does not integrate with the world without drinking coffee.

Question: "Mr. Zao Wou-ki, what do you think of Kyoto University? Are you disappointed that you didn't get into Kyoto University during the college entrance examination?" Obviously, this is a question from a student who has a sense of superiority towards Kyoto University.

"Kyoto University is a first-class university in China. It has a fine tradition and enjoys great benefits in the world. I didn't get into Kyoto University. It's not because of my poor level. It's because there are too few students in Kyoto University. If I lose because of this, Wouldn't that mean that 12 billion Chinese people will be lost? Therefore, since the 12 billion Chinese people will not be lost, then I also hope that the children's shoes of Kyoto University will not be proud!"

Question: "I heard that Mr. Zao Wou-ki's martial arts are superb, and many of your literary and artistic creations are also at the level of masters. May I ask: Do you feel very proud? (Please tell the truth!)" This is an understanding of Zao Wou-ki. Quite a deep question.

"A person's ability comes from the cognition of things. There are a few old sayings in China, people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. I think that no matter how strong an individual's ability is, it is impossible to exhaust the world and nature. , Therefore, I really don’t feel proud. I still have a long way to go, and I continue to gain happiness on the way to explore the world.”

Question: "In today's society, there are so many corrupt officials. Is there any way to deal with them?"

"Good and evil, greed and purity, have always been a pair of contradictions, that is, the two sides of things. When we realize that greed is a problem, governance has already begun. The old saying says that in troubled times, heavy codes are used. I think it makes sense, but I It is even more advocated that heavy codes should be used in peacetime! Treat the person in the same way as the person, because greed may lead to chaos.

For corrupt officials, I have always advocated economic means to deal with them!Doesn't he like a luxurious life?Once corruption is detected, it is the best way to deal with it by returning his life to civilian life! "

Zao Wou-ki's answer aroused warm applause!

However, no one knows better than Zhao Wou-ki how greedy and despicable the later generations of China have become, especially the countless "naked officials", which made Zhao Wou-ki very disappointed. Allowing him to talk about such doctrines and ideals in his position is the greatest irony in Chinese officialdom.

If Zao Wou-ki was in power, of course his children could go abroad to study. After all, the education level in China is relatively poor;At the very least, whether or not children work in the country should be a mandatory requirement for the role of officials.

In later generations, Zao Wou-ki once heard a disgruntled teacher say: "We ordinary people have no country to go to, only to be patriotic." These words are full of helplessness.

Question: "Why is China so poor and backward? Is it really caused by the aggression of the great powers?".

This question was really beyond Zao Wou-ki's expectation. From this question, it can be seen that Kyoto University has lived up to its reputation and is indeed a thoughtful university.

Therefore, Zao Wou-ki unexpectedly thought about this question for about half a minute before he came up with the answer: "The question about children's shoes is very good and very in-depth. There is a relationship between aggression, but this relationship needs to be sorted out and positioned; the aggression of the great powers severely hit the feudal rule of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, allowing China to open its eyes to see the world, and at the same time promote the development of China's industry and commerce. This is a positive side.

However, we cannot forget the humiliation imposed on us by the foreign powers, let alone praise this kind of aggression.The aggression of the great powers is unjust in any era, and it is a criminal act of robbery!Its harm to China and its plunder of China are not only a disaster for the Chinese nation, but also a shame for us!

The real reason for China's poverty and backwardness lies in the seclusion and conservatism of the Qing Dynasty and its rejection of industrial civilization.As we all know, capitalism sprouted in China at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the rulers of the Ming Dynasty had a much looser policy on industry and commerce than on agriculture, and the tax rate was only [-] or even [-]%.but.The Manchus were a nation on horseback.Its productivity and culture are in a state of semi-slavery.For modern industry, especially firearms, instinctive fear and rejection.

A fact that everyone may not know is that in the late Ming Dynasty, Chinese firearms were like muskets.There is no gap with the West, and even has a slight advantage. However, after the Manchu Qing gained national domination.Destroy all gun-making workshops, confiscate all muskets and store them in storage, and at the same time continue to implement the sea ban in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

The move of the Qing Dynasty was objectively conducive to maintaining the rule of the minority over the majority, but the biggest evil result was also produced from this, that is, China's productivity has been stagnant since 1644.It was also in this era that Britain established a brand-new social system, which has a history of nearly 300 years since then.The West began the era of steam engines and the Industrial Revolution, and epoch-making technological products such as locomotives, machines, electrical appliances, and automobiles greatly improved the production level of the West.And Huaxia still lived a life of men farming and women weaving in the dream of a great country in the sky. "

Zao Wou-ki has no intention of inciting national hatred in the country, but historical facts cannot be obliterated.In the history of China, it was ruled by ethnic minorities twice, which brought about two major historical regressions. This cannot but lead to reflection: Why are hundreds of millions of Chinese people no match for a foreign race that is only one percent of the population of China? To accept its rule?

These historical facts themselves indicate that something is wrong with Chinese culture.In later generations, there is a propaganda slogan saying that China is a peace-loving nation!Zhao Wou-ki felt that this slogan really spoke the truth, because Huaxia was indeed too docile and too friendly to foreigners. Even in the most powerful Han and Tang Dynasties, he only fought a few limited "self-defense counterattacks" That's all.

A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands!After Huaxia culture dominated Confucianism, especially Zhu Ming's Confucianism, the only blood xing had been diluted and obliterated by gentle preaching.

Question: "Some people say that one Chinese is a dragon, and one Japanese is a worm; and three Japanese are a dragon, and three Chinese are a worm. Mr. Zao Wou-ki, what do you think of this point of view?"

In fact, Zao Wou-ki has already explained this issue in the section "a monk carrying water to eat", but Zao Wou-ki decided to talk about it more, because it involves industrial civilization and agricultural civilization, as well as China's modernization.

"I know who said this. First of all, I agree with this point of view in a limited way. Because it does reveal some weaknesses in the national character of the Huaxia people. But, have you ever thought about why the Huaxia people and the Japanese people would How could there be such a stark difference?"

After Zao Wou-ki asked the rhetorical question, he gave the students about ten seconds to think, and then continued: "Actually, we should thank Mr. Bai from Taiwan (the only real place name) for his evaluation of the Chinese people, because this It is what Huaxia people should be proud of!

As I said before, the formation of a nation's character has a great relationship with the geographical environment. China is located on both sides of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. The land is fertile and has the convenience of irrigation. The farming civilization has created the hardworking Chinese people Character and ingenuity, but the biggest problem of traditional farming civilization is the lack of social division of labor and cooperation and cooperation among laborers.

But Wa country is different, that country has only a few mountainous islands, poor agricultural production conditions, coupled with frequent tsunamis, typhoons, and earthquakes, making their lives full of uncertainty, therefore, they must hug each other In order to survive in the harsh natural environment.Of course, the Japanese had basically achieved industrialization long before the First World War and became one of the great powers. Modern industry also contributed a lot to shaping the national character. "

"The core of the modernization that China is advancing is industrialization, which is to change China from a traditional agricultural country to an industrial country, and the Chinese people will also change from a state of natural people who are free and unorganized and obedient, and then become people who know how to cooperate and cooperate. People in modern society!" (To be continued.)
