Lu Yongzhi stood on the podium of the Oxford Ladder Podium, facing the audience of hundreds of people below, without any sense of tension. Perhaps his special identity gave him the ability to gain insight into the world's initiative, which gave him full confidence.

Perhaps he was the first Chinese to stand on the podium in the hundreds of years since the establishment of Oxford, and his curiosity attracted many professors and students. He originally planned to arrange more than 100 people from the Department of Political Science and Philosophy as the subjects of speeches, but now he has at least doubled and has made a comeback.

In the first row were the gentlemen of the Trinity College School Committee, most of them were professors and administrators. Because the topic of today's speech was very attractive: the way out of the British Empire and the future design.

This topic is already quite shocking.

Uchi made a quiet gesture and started his own speech:

Mr. Oxford. Today, I am standing here. I am facing a group of nobles. Aren’t you? A family with an annual income of less than 20,000 pounds cannot sit here. But I am not afraid because I am in my twenties and have earned the money most of you should make in your life.

As for the experience, I, who have only read the Four Books and Five Classics for a few years, are higher than most of you. I think you are just learning knowledge from books, and I am gaining knowledge from the wordless book in society.

(There was an uproar, and many people were whispering. Several professors in the front row obviously frowned.) I

I am a Chinese, my name is Lu Yongzhi. It is equivalent to your small landlord family in rural England. I have no education, but I have only been to a private school for a few years.

God, your Professor Paul invited me to the title that I originally gave me was: Changes in the political system of the Qing Dynasty. I don’t want to talk about it because I didn’t say it. Apart from adding some information to you when writing your papers, it will be of no benefit to the whole of China.

I don’t want to say the improved theory, but I can’t say the revolutionary theory. Because I will eventually return to my country, I don’t want to become a revolutionary party just because of any opinions expressed, and I will no longer have the right to speak after returning to my country.

(Laughter.)

Therefore, for a political system, improvement or revolution is not important, because everyone who is in the banner of reform or revolution for their own interests is playing hooligans.

The last topic agreed with Professor Paul was: the way out of the British Empire and the design of the future. Sorry, Professor Paul, when I was drafting the speech, I changed the topic again.

The British Empire, even if it attacks its policy design, should I still be able to live well. Because the British Empire advocates democracy and freedom.

applause.)

Don't applaud for the moment. Because what I am about to say is that democracy and freedom in your mind are not the same as what I say.

Some time ago, I went to the British Museum to visit Marx's seat in the library, where he wrote the capital theory. Today, everyone here is a political theory and a philosophy. You are all talents who do top-level design for the country in the future. However, I want to ask, how many of them here know about Marx? How many of them have read his works?

(A handful of people raised up.) OK

Thank you for raising your hands. There are no more than ten people including professors, right?

Look, this is Oxford, which boasts about academic freedom. Let’s put aside whether his theory is correct or not. At least in the academic sense, changing the thinking from the entire research of single individuality in the past and treating a group as a research object is this an innovation that transcends the predecessors?

Unfortunately, few people pay attention to the world's top universities. Why? Because your ideas are limited to the theories you accepted in the past.

May I ask, this is called democracy and freedom?

As students and scholars in the Oxford Department of Politics and Philosophy, you only know Feuerbach and Hegel. This is your greatest undemocracy and unfreedom!

(Someone wanted to stand up and protest in the middle of the first row, but was dissuaded by Professor Paul.)

Art freedom is not just empty talk, and democracy is not a word. I know that Oxford mentors want to interrupt me because my cognition is different from them. I am just an opening remark and have not yet reached the point. Can I continue to say it? (

A burst of applause rang out.)

Thank you everyone, at least in Oxford, you can also have the right to express your personal opinions.

The British Empire is now the center of the world and the center of economic and cultural. It can be said that if Edward VII sneezes, the whole world will catch a cold. Everyone feels very happy to live in the British Empire now, right? That's right, when most countries in the world have become an imperial raw material supply site, you should feel happy.

Yes, this sense of happiness cannot last for a long time. Why? Because the short-sightedness of the entire upper class only focuses on the little material interests in front of you. What you export to the world is only powerful, not real values.

Strength can conquer people's hearts. But that's only for a moment.

You should know by looking at the history of our Great China. We have trembled under the iron hooves of foreign races countless times, but we have stood up again and again. The reason why the Chinese nation can stand tall for thousands of years and will never be truly conquered is because we have a common value that continues us.

This topic is too big, so I won't extend it.

It should be said that the British Empire has been continuing the old path taken by foreign nations in the past. It only knows how to conquer but not how to output its own values.

Until now, no one in the British Empire has summarized their values ​​well, right? Can anyone present tell me what the true values ​​of the British Empire are?

Inclusiveness. Marx has been expelled, but the British Empire can tolerate the existence of his theory. This is inclusiveness. What does this inclusiveness bring from the humanities field to the social science field? It is scientific progress.

So. Being able to limit the royal power is the demand of equality, although it is not done enough.

Ideals, beliefs... I'm sorry, I can't make it up anymore. Because this is the value that the British Empire should have as I imagined. But in reality, it's just a little bit of signs and a little bit of sprouting.

The British Empire did not rely on values ​​to open the doors of other countries. Like all foreign nations, it still relies on force to rely on power.

It is undeniable that it is necessary to open a closed door. But what about after violence? It is to allow the public to accept and recognize advanced values.

Yes, you have not, and all you have done is to covet the wealth of this country, and even use opium, which is a very despicable means.

This is not the equality and fraternity claimed by God, it is the act of robbers. So what I want to say is that if the British Empire does not change this thinking, the prosperity of the Empire of the Sun will not set will only be a temporary moment.

It’s not an exaggeration to say this. Open the history and take a look. The Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain were on the same path as you back then. Now, do they still have glory? It’s just that the mountains and mountains are in the evening.

If you want to achieve something in politics and philosophy, you must first learn history. Only by learning about the past can you understand the present.

Applause, long applause.) I

What is the ideal social form?

There is no huge gap between the rich and the poor, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. This society belongs to everyone, and this earth is also shared by all mankind. Everyone has the ability to enjoy social resources and resources...

It is originally greedy and concentrates the vast majority of social resources in the hands of a small number of people. This is immoral because it violates the theme of equality and fraternity, social peace.

Hopefully, one day, I can see that in the House of Commons that determines national policies, there are not only nobles, but also workers and farmers who represent the vast majority of the society. This is our ideal society, and this is also the prescription I prescribed for the British Empire as a Chinese. Thank you.

Thank you everyone.

The voice is not very enthusiastic, it is more polite. But more people are in deep thought.

It is the result that Lu Yongzhi wants. No one can change other people's worldview through a speech. What he can do is to open a gap in the window of another world so that everyone can see the scenery.

As for whether it can bear fruit, it is hard to say.
