Chapter 3 What is the world?
A small passenger ship sailed slowly on the sea. Under the setting sun, the water splashed by the oars left long tail marks on the golden sea.
No one knows how much change this ship will bring to the world.
Shouyuan ate saury in his mouth and silently thought about how to proceed in the future in the cabin. But of course, he had to find a way to get Hanako to Beijing first. He had never let down a girl in his two lives, and he never would in his previous life. This
Never in my life!
At this time, there was a sound of fighting outside the cabin. Shouyuan didn't want to pay attention to it until a voice came:
"Compatriots, the Japanese are bullying us Chinese! Come and help! I beg you!"
Are there any little devils who dare to bully our compatriots? Rebel against him!
When Shou Yuanji walked to the deck, he saw a group of people gathered in a circle. Inside, a man in student uniform knelt on the ground and begged the onlookers to save people. He tried his best to pull the crotches of some people in long gowns and coats with long braids on the back of their heads.
Chang, begged his compatriots to help, but those whom he appealed to all shook their heads and took a step back, and then continued to watch indifferently.
When Shouyuan squeezed in, he saw a sailor pulling a woman's clothes, trying to do something wrong. Shouyuan's eyes were scarlet, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. I am a young man who was born under the five-star red flag.
See this kind of thing?
I saw Shouyuan rush forward and kick the violent Japanese sailor to the ground. The sailor was kicked to the ground and looked at Shouyuan angrily. He looked like an old wolf with fried hair, but when he saw that he was wearing a sergeant's uniform
Yes, the ferocity in his eyes disappeared, only anger remained: "Baga!"
When the onlookers saw this scene, some people laughed out loud and said in Mandarin: "Hey? Little Japan is beating Little Japan!"
"Yes, it's a rare sight in a hundred years!"
Shouyuan said in Japanese: "Why do you want to bully a woman!"
The sailor looked over, not looking at Shouyuan. The male student wiped away his tears and stood up, bowing to Shouyuan: "Thank you sir for saving me. My sister and I returned to China after studying in Japan."
"On the ship, they insisted on saying that there was contraband in my sister's suitcase, and then we refused to allow them to inspect it, so the two sides started fighting, and then the sailor started to pull my sister's clothes." As he spoke, he shed tears again.
Shouyuan asked: "Why don't you hit him?"
The male student choked up for a moment. He was stunned for a while and then said timidly: "I, I can't win."
Shouyuan sighed and shook his head. At this time, the captain and several sailors rushed over with guns raised. The crowd of onlookers immediately dispersed and ran to a distant place to continue watching.
When the captain saw Shouyuan in military uniform, he stepped forward and saluted: "Why do you want to obstruct our law enforcement?"
Shouyuan took out his ID from his pocket: "They are students too, don't embarrass them!"
The captain saw that he was from the Japanese Army Military Academy, and there was a banknote clipped on the last page of the ID, so he quietly walked away with the banknote and returned the ID respectfully: "My younger brother is also studying at the Military Academy. I saw it today.
For your sake, please let these two Chinese people go!" After saying that, he waved his hands and the sailors retreated one after another.
The male student then went up to help his sister up, and both of them thanked Shouyuan. Shouyuan looked at the male student, and he seemed quite handsome, but why didn't he have a backbone?
Shouyuan said in Mandarin: "Okay, don't be polite. We are all compatriots when we go out. No matter what, I can't ignore death."
The male student was ecstatic: "Sir, are you Chinese too?"
Shouyuan pulled out his braids hidden in his coat: "Okay, pay more attention on the boat. If you need anything, you can come to me."
After saying that, he ignored the two students.
The journey home is always long. The boat arrived at the Bohai Bay and was about to arrive in Tianjin. Shouyuan stood on the deck and looked at the looming outline of the mainland. His heart became more and more anxious. This body also felt the breath of the motherland.
These days, I always meet those two students when I eat every day. The male students always reveal some information in their words: Daqing Pills, aspiring young people should stand up to benefit the world and overthrow tyranny! Follow Mr. Zhongshan to create a republic.
Last night, the male student even invited Shouyuan to join the alliance. Shouyuan was stunned at that time, thinking: Do you know who I am? So casual?
Shouyuan laughed and fooled him, but the male student didn't seem to give up. After returning, he asked his sister to come over to persuade him, but Shouyuan laughed and said nothing.
After getting off the boat, a carriage came to pick up the brother and sister. The male student's words to the servants always made Shouyuan feel indescribably arrogant and condescending. When parting, the male student even invited Shouyuan to his home.
I was visiting as a guest and it turned out that his family owned a textile factory and had a homestead in Tianjin.
Shouyuan shook his head silently: If this organization is full of people like this, no wonder they have been deficient since the growth period. They are obedient to the outside world and heavy-handed to the inside. Ahem.
On the way to the train station, Shouyuan saw all the living beings in this world. Many years later, after winning the victory of the national revolution, in an interview with Pravda, he said about this trip back to Beijing:
This is the first time I suddenly bumped into people who were on the verge of death due to hunger and nothing to eat. Have you ever seen the dying skin and flesh hanging on his body, wrinkled; the whole body is skinny and all the bones are clearly visible; his eyes have already
Sloppy; even though he is a 20-year-old young man, he moves like a haggard old woman, dragging his body forward step by step. If he is lucky, he should have sold his wife and daughter long ago. He has already given up everything he has
Everything was sold - the wood for the house, most of the clothes.
Sometimes, he has even sold the last fig leaf on his body. He staggers under the scorching sun, his testicles dangling on his body like dry olives - this is the last cruel mockery, reminding you:
He is a human being!
The children were even more pitiful. Their tiny bones were bent and deformed, their little arms were as thin as branches, and their bulging bellies were filled with bark and sawdust, as if they had tumors.
Women were lying in the corner waiting for death, with their buttocks as thin as razor blades and their breasts hanging on their chests like shriveled sacks. However, after all, there were not many women and girls, and most of them were either dead or
was sold.
Entering the city of Beijing, people were singing and dancing along the streets. There were no beggars lying on the ground. There were some well-dressed young men in the alleys competing with each other to see whose crickets were stronger. The old men were in teahouses, restaurants, and theaters, listening to operas and singing.
Song, carrying a cage and walking the bird. Officials dressed in animal-like clothes walked into the sedan chair with square steps and were supported by servants.
Damn it! What kind of world is this!
