I rely on talking to brush the copy

Zhou Dezhang, the principal of Kaiming Middle School, was reading a newspaper. As he was reading, he uttered a "hmm".

His wife asked him, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Dezhang pointed at an article in the newspaper and said with a smile, "This article is interesting."

His wife leaned over and read aloud, "Do rats look down on people?"

Zhou Dezhang stroked his beautiful beard and praised, "The author is quite ingenious. He actually thought of using a rat as the protagonist. It's interesting to observe people and things from the perspective of a rat. It's interesting!"

His wife also became interested. She took the newspaper and quickly finished reading the article. She nodded in agreement, "The topic is novel and the idea is profound. It's a good article."

She glanced at the author, "Night Watchman?" She looked at her husband, "Have you heard of him?"

Zhou Dezhang shook his head, "Judging from his sophisticated writing style, it should be a new pen name given by an old author." He shook the newspaper, "This article should be a series of articles. I wonder what his next story will be about? I'm really looking forward to it."

...

It's rare to go out, so Le Jing plans to take Li Shuran for a good walk.

The little girl studies all day long now. If she doesn't go out to play, she will be locked up as a nerd.

Passing by a Western pastry shop, noticing Li Shuran's curious eyes, Le Jing asked her: "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Li Shuran shook her head in shock: "No, no, the pastries here are too expensive!"

Le Jing smiled indifferently, but was interrupted when the words came to his lips: "Li Shuran, I thought you were so pure and reserved, but now it seems that you are just a fickle woman!"

Le Jing paused, looked up, and saw a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old. He looked ordinary, his clothes were clean and tidy, and he didn't look like a rich man. His resentful eyes lingered on the faces of the two people.

Li Shuran's face turned pale. From her expression, she obviously knew this person.

Le Jing stood in front of Li Shuran: "Nonsense! Who are you? You defamed my sister in public like this, please apologize!"

The boy's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Le Jing with a little surprise: "My sister? Are you her brother?"

"Yes, apologize to my sister!"

The resentment in the boy's eyes faded, and he explained casually: "Sorry, it's all misunderstanding. I am Shuran's boyfriend. I saw that my brother was close to Shuran, so I had a misunderstanding."

"You are not my boyfriend!" Li Shuran screamed: "Don't spit blood!"

Le Jing's expression also turned cold, "My sister doesn't know you, a girl's reputation is so precious, please stop talking nonsense."

The boy said calmly: "Maybe I can ask my brother for a moment?"

Le Jing glanced at Li Shuran and asked: "What do you think?"

Li Shuran shook her head vigorously, grabbed Le Jing's sleeves, and her cheeks flushed with anger: "Brother, don't get entangled with him, let's go."

The boy's face changed, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes The young man pouted, his eyes were full of disdain: "You are shameless! My family works in the Tang Mansion. It is your blessing to be favored by me!"

Le Jing sneered: "So what if it is the Tang Mansion? Can people from the Tang Mansion molest decent girls in public? If you keep pestering me and saying dirty things, I will call the police!"

The young man curled his lips, his eyes were even more disdainful: "You can ask around in Beijing. Our Tang family is a guest of the police department. We often hang out with the adults during festivals. You can call the police and see if the police will arrest me. Or arrest you. "

Le Jing asked calmly: "Is your last name Tang?"

"... My family works for the Tang family, and my father is the most trusted person of Mr. Tang..."

Le Jing interrupted him: "Oh, it turns out that you are just a lackey, and you keep saying our Tang family. People who don't know you would think you are the eldest son of the Tang family."

"You are not the young master of the Tang family, why do you think the police will not arrest you? Please don't be unreasonable, sir.

The boy blushed with anger and shouted loudly: "You don't even piss to see what kind of virtue you are! You are just the daughter of a small merchant from another place. I like your sister because I give you face. Don't be ungrateful!"

This is originally a busy street. Because of the boy's sudden loud voice, it naturally attracted a lot of discussion.

Le Jing also raised his voice: "What a vicious dog who bullies others by taking advantage of your power! You are doing evil under the banner of Tang Mansion and molesting decent women on the street. If I were Mr. Tang, I would definitely call the police to arrest you and clean up the family! "

After that, he ignored the boy's dirty talk and grabbed Li Shuran's hand, "Let's go. "

On the way, Le Jing learned the whole story from Li Shuran.

Mr. Tang of Tang Mansion is a wealthy businessman. He not only does business with the British, but also with the Japanese. He is well-versed in human relations and has a lot of face in the police station.

The boy is called Wang Defu. His father is Mr. Tang's driver, and his mother is Mr. Tang's wet nurse. He grew up with Mr. Tang. He is the most bullying and cowardly, and despises the poor and loves the rich.

Li Shuran never talks much about her family affairs at school. When others ask, she says that her parents are doing business abroad and sent her to Beijing to study.

After a while, she was remembered by Wang Defu.

"My classmate said that he is the son of a servant, and the master will assign him a maid in the future. He is arrogant and naturally unwilling to do so. Although I am not from a prominent family, I am also a lady, so..."

Le Jing suddenly realized.

It turned out that Wang Defu was planning to cross the class through marriage.

He saw that Li Shuran looked pretty and looked like a young lady, and when he learned that her parents were not around, he naturally got confused.

Li Shuran was unhappy and blamed herself: "It's all my fault. I caused my brother to suffer. If only I had behaved more carefully..."

Le Jing: "What does this matter have to do with you? It's Wang Defu who has evil intentions. If it weren't for you, he would have entangled others. If you blame yourself, you will do what he wants!"

Le Jing comforted Li Shuran a few more words, finally making the little girl happy.

He also asked Li Shuran if she wanted to transfer to another school, but Li Shuran refused.

Li Shuran said: "Just like what you said, brother, he did something wrong, not me. Why should I avoid him? There are teachers in the school watching, and he doesn't dare to do anything to me! If he does it again If you pester me, I will call the police!”

Le Jing thinks about it too. After all, this Zhang Defu is just the son of a servant, and Tang Mansion will not make any effort for him.

In addition, there were many things going on during this period, so Lejing put this matter aside.

It's just the beginning for Le Jing's articles to be published in the "Literature Journal". His top priority now is to carefully write the next serial content of "Rat Eyes Look Down on People".

After all, "Rat Eyes Look Down on People" is a series of articles, just like the serialization of online articles in later generations. If you want to maintain its popularity, you must continue to update it. Of course, the writing environment in the Republic of China is still very relaxed. He doesn't have to update every day. Lejing's requirement for himself is to update at least weekly, and weekly updates is his current limit. Firstly, he is not in good health now, and secondly, the works he writes are not the mindless and refreshing works of later generations. What he writes is tragedy, leaning towards the path of serious literature, which is a heavy burden on his brain.

Le Jing was carefully crafting his second article that day when he saw Yang Jinglun rushing in excitedly, waving a newspaper in his hand and shouting: "Sir, sir, you are famous!"

Le Jing put down the pen in his hand and glanced at him, "What?"

Yang Jinglun's face turned red, he pointed to a spot in the newspaper and said excitedly: "Sir, look, it's Mr. Zheng. Mr. Zheng has written an article to comment on your article!"

Le Jing's expression was slightly dull.

Mr. Zheng...is he the Mr. Zheng he thought?

His eyes eagerly followed the direction of Yang Jinglun's finger. The moment he saw the name, he felt calm and composed like a happy scene, and his brain went blank for a moment.

Mr. Zheng, it turns out to be that Mr. Zheng!

Mr. Zheng, whose full name is Zheng Yiliang and whose pen name is Xiaoyao Sanren, is a famous revolutionary and scholar in history. During his lifetime, his fighting ability was astonishing. Using the pen as a weapon, he fought against all the dark phenomena of society at that time. He was one of the best warriors in the field of rhetoric. But it was his death that pushed him to the altar and made him famous throughout the ages and admired by all.

He was assassinated.

He has offended too many people in his life, and there are too many people who wish he would die. Even a hundred years later, the person behind the assassination of Mr. Zheng is still a mystery.

Regarding the death of Mr. Zheng, there is only this cold line of text in the history textbook: On October 5, 1928, the famous scholar Zheng Yiliang was shot in his bedroom and died at the age of 35.

This revolutionary fighter who advocated freedom and equality throughout his life eventually died before the dawn of the new world.

Today is April 25, 1925. There are still about three and a half years left before that despicable assassination. There is still plenty of time. Le Jing doesn’t know if he can prevent this despicable assassination, but if he has the chance, he will always To stop it.

But these are all things for later. What needs his attention right now is the book review written for him by Mr. Zheng published in the newspaper!

"Read "The Eyes of Rats Look Down on People" - How long will the world last in which people are inferior to rats?" Yang Jinglun read the article softly: "Recently I saw a quite interesting article in the newspaper, and it was about The society of the Republic of China through the eyes of a mouse from the future..."

"...Rat eyes look at people, and they feel that all living beings are ridiculous..."

"...Although Bai Xue is a rat, as the name suggests, the mouse has a heart as clean as snow, which is much cleaner than many people in this world. However, such a clean Bai Xue cannot survive in this era when people are inferior to rats. It must become the pet of the rich and beg for mercy from the rich in order to survive..."

"...Why are our citizens so insensitive? Why are our citizens despicable and cruel? As the author Night Watch said, it is because a terminal disease called poverty disease has infected the entire country, and poverty disease has taken away the people's natural life. Emotion and reason degenerate them into irrational beasts..."

Then Mr. Zheng Yiliang changed the topic and shifted to criticizing the darkness of society and the inaction of the state. Mr. Zheng used this to once again advocate his consistent revolutionary proposition-total Westernization.

Finally, Mr. Zheng concluded: “Today, we must admit that if our country wants to be prosperous and strong, we must learn from all the advanced aspects of the West. The government must vigorously develop industry and commerce, must vigorously promote education, and must improve basic medical services... … Only in this way can our China become the free, equal, bright, and prosperous new China that Bai Xue said a hundred years from now!”

After finishing speaking, Yang Jinglun's clear voice was choked with sobs. He asked Le Jing in a hoarse voice, "Sir, do you think we in China can stand up again?"

Facing the young man's confused eyes, Le Jing nodded heavily and said, "I will definitely stand up. Before that, we just have to wait."

Waiting for the great man to emerge, the declaration on the tower of the city finally resounded in the east, dispelling the darkness of a century and pushing this country and nation towards a new tomorrow.

The influence of the celebrity effect is huge, and this is the same in any era. With the big man Zheng Yiliang writing articles to praise it, various book reviews for "Rat Eyes Look Down on People" appeared one after another in major newspapers for a while, and the pen name of "Night Watcher" became a little famous in the cultural circle.

Many big men have heard that a newcomer recently published a very good article in the newspaper, which also attracted Zheng Yiliang to write a review. The pen name of "Night Watcher" was also remembered by many people for a short time, but many people just forgot it at first sight. After all, it was just a newcomer who had just started out, and it was still unclear whether he would be a dragon or a snake in the future. Few people would be impatient and leave early like Zheng Yiliang.

Then in the second week, the second story of "Rat Eyes Look Down on People" was published in the newspaper.

The protagonist of this story is a ten-year-old prostitute.

A little girl who was sold to human traffickers by her parents in exchange for the family's survival money.

This little girl has a prototype, that is, the daughter of the maid who was taken in by him. Zhou's daughter is eleven years old this year. After being sold to a brothel by her parents, she often comes back to see them and subsidizes her family with her own prostitution money.

It sounds incredible at first, but it is a very normal thing in today's era. Many of the sisters in the same brothel as Zhou's daughter were sold by their husbands, parents, and even children. These poor women use the money they get from their bodies to subsidize their families and support their families.

Although many progressive people have begun to call for women's liberation, for most people in this era, women are family property, and it is a normal choice to pawn women when the family has no money. Even these women think so.

Zhou's eldest daughter does not resent her parents at all. She even considerately wants to save the prostitution money for her younger brother to marry a wife in the future.

Of course, Zhou Da and his family were not the kind of people who didn't care about their daughter's life or death at all - if they were really that kind of people, Le Jing would have kicked them out long ago. He would not waste his kindness on such scum.

Zhou Da had already agreed with his son that he could only marry a wife after redeeming his sister, and he must take care of his sister until she died.

When Le Jing asked their family about the whole story for writing, Zhou Da's eyes were red, and he told his son viciously: "After I die, if you dare to ignore your sister, I will turn into a ghost and find you!"

Of course they knew that forcing a girl to become a prostitute was worse than beasts, they just... had no choice.

For poor people like them, just being alive was a struggle. As a certain literary giant said in his work: "Dignity and morality are what rich people say to others. For poor people, filling their stomachs is the greatest truth."

According to the standards of this era, the prostitute Zhou's daughter was already a happy poor girl. After all, her parents still cared about her life and wanted her to live.

But the prostitute described by Le Jing was not so lucky. The prostitute was named Bai Xiang. When she was five years old, she was sold to a brothel by her gambling father. When she was seven years old, she was deflowered by a client in the brothel and became a prostitute.

Because she was young, her clients were all people with sexual fetishes, and Bai Xiang was tortured cruelly. So she soon contracted a sexually transmitted disease, her lower body was ulcerated, and she had acne. The madam first burned it with tongs, and later when even the tongs didn't work, the madam took away all her belongings and drove her away.

And it was at this time that Bai Xue and Bai Xiang met. This is the beginning and the end of the story.

The pampered and wealthy mouse met a poor prostitute with dirty diseases, and then heard about her life from the dying girl.

Bai Xue was just a mouse, so it couldn't do anything. The only thing it could do was to be a qualified listener, silently recording the short and unfortunate life of the prostitute named Bai Xiang in its heart.

Another story of a mouse looking down on people.

As Le Jing expected, this article touched the sensitive nerves of many people and caused an uproar.

Because in the Republic of China, prostitutes were legal professions and brothels would pay taxes according to the law. And for many men in the Republic of China, ** was an elegant thing.

Once Le Jing's article came out, didn't it stir up a hornet's nest for some people?

So the one-sided praise for "Rat Eyes Look Down on People" in the newspaper immediately turned into a series of scoldings.

The author has something to say:

The author is afraid of being locked up, and the author dares not speak. I originally wanted to popularize some relatively obscure history with you, forget it, let's all go.

My gay friend said that although the content of my article is extremely politically correct, the wind is very tight now and I can't talk about any politics. My gay friend said that I am wandering on the edge of the high-voltage line and asked me to restrain myself.

This is not the first time I have been locked up for politics. I wrote "Bookstore" and was locked up again and again after repeated revisions. I was really scared (the funny thing is that my bookstore was locked up because I talked about American politics...)

Okay

I will dance with shackles in the future, and you can also read the article with shackles.

But even if I am locked in a coffin, I will shout out with my last voice: TG is awesome (screaming hoarsely)
