The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

The scolding war in the south was muddled, first Lu Xun scolded Zhou Hexuan, then Guo Moruo scolded Lu Xun, and then Guo and Lu scolded each other.

Zhang Junmai rushed out to speak for Zhou Hexuan, promoting his socialist theory, Guo Moruo immediately turned around and scolded Zhang Junmai. When Zhang Junmai refuted Guo Moruo, Lu Xun wrote an article and scolded them both at the same time, Zhang Junmai and Guo Moruo immediately responded by scolding Lu Xun.

Mr. Guo's participation in the war has nothing to do with "Guns, Germs and Steel".

The reason is that after President Chang betrayed the revolution, Lu Xun and many progressives wanted to jointly launch a new cultural movement.

Guo Moruo strongly opposed this, and more people agreed.

Lu Xun's mouth was so poisonous, and under extreme anger, he wrote an article unceremoniously: "From a distance, it looks like a dog, but from a close look, it looks like an Oriental dog. When you look at it, oh, it turns out to be Mr. Guo Moruo."

Guo Moruo naturally wanted to fight back, enumerating Lu Xun's three major crimes, calling Lu Xun "a remnant of feudalism on the literary and art front."

Immediately afterwards, members of the Creation Society, including Yu Dafu, launched a siege against Lu Xun.

While Lu Xun was fighting with the Creation Society, he also found time to scold Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Junmai. And Guo Moruo was not idle, scolding Lu Xun and at the same time refuted the authoritarian ideas of Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Junmai one by one.

Guo and Lu have become old enemies since then, and they have spoken to each other many times since then. But this time it turned into a three-party melee, and Zhang Junmai, a socialist, appeared out of thin air.

In the end, everyone scolded and scolded, and it was completely impossible to tell the enemy from ourselves.

Don't gossip.

Tianjin, Balitai.

Zhang Boling, the founder of Nankai University, came forward to greet him with a smile, shook hands and said, "Mr. Zhou, you are really a rare visitor, and you will not be able to invite even if you ask thousands of people."

"Haha, I came here uninvited this time." Zhou Hexuan laughed.

The preparations for the radio station were almost complete. Zhou Hexuan directly resigned from his post as the director of the editorial department of the supplement of "Dazhong" and handed over "Dazhong" to Li Shoumin for management, while he concentrated on running the radio station.

Zhou Hexuan came to Nankai University this time to seek cooperation. He needed a professional announcer, but the guys who came to apply for the job spoke Mandarin so badly that even the locals in Tianjin were terrible, and the accent sounded like a cross talk.

In addition to recruiting announcers, Zhou Hexuan also wanted to recruit some radio talents, so that if there was a problem with the broadcasting equipment one day, he had to ask the American devils for help.

Although Nankai University has not yet established a Department of Electrical Engineering, it has already set up related disciplines, which are under the unified management of the School of Science.

Nankai is still very good. This is the first private university in the north to set up science courses, and it is also the first coeducational university in the north. Moreover, the Nankai thieves are rich, and the Rockefeller Foundation is supporting them behind them. If there is any disagreement, they will build a new school building and establish a new department.

In comparison, Peking University is much worse. It can’t even pay teachers’ salaries. Universities such as Tsinghua University and Sino-French universities are supported by Boxer indemnity, and Peking University didn’t get a dime from Boxer indemnity.

Zhang Boling introduced two people around him: "Mr. Zhou, this is Mr. Jiang Lifu, Dean of the Department of Nankai University, and this is Mr. Rao Yutai, Director of the Physics Department of Nankai University."

Jiang Lifu, a mathematician, presided over the approval of many modern Chinese mathematical terms. The Harvard student Jiang Zehan we mentioned earlier was a student of Jiang Lifu.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Nankai Department of Mathematics, there was only one teacher, Jiang Lifu, who taught eight courses and also handled the administrative work of the Department of Mathematics. After Dr. Ling Bing left the school, Jiang Lifu acted as the principal of Nankai.

As for Rao Yutai, he was the founder of the Department of Physics in Nankai. Later, when he was in Changsha Temporary University (the predecessor of Southwest Associated University), Deng Jiaxian, Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao were all his students.

Zhou Hexuan quickly shook hands and said, "Hello, Professor Jiang, and Professor Rao!"

"Mr. Zhou, I have admired you for a long time."

Jiang Lifu and Rao Yutai shook hands with Zhou Hexuan respectively.

Zhou Hexuan exchanged some pleasantries, and quickly explained his purpose: "Mr. Zhang, I want to open a radio station in Tianjin. I need an announcer who can speak Mandarin, and technicians who are proficient in physics. I hope to cooperate with Nankai."

Before Zhang Boling could speak, Rao Yutai laughed: "That's not bad. Letting students from the physics department work part-time will not only apply what they have learned, but also improve their hands-on ability."

A few years later, Nankai University established the Department of Electrical Engineering, and also set up a school-run radio station. All the equipment was assembled by the students themselves.

Zhou Hexuan also said: "I plan to spend an hour every day to broadcast academic programs. The content is not limited, it can be scientific knowledge, it can be poetry and prose, or it can be the latest academic research results. These are all provided by Nankai students. Certainly."

Zhang Boling was very moved when he heard it. It is a great thing for Nankai University that the school can run a program on the radio station.

"Mr. Zhou, I agree with your cooperation proposal," Zhang Boling said with a smile, "But it's rare for you to come here, so let's give lectures to the students first."

"Hahahaha, I knew I couldn't run away." Zhou Hexuan laughed.

The Balitai campus of Nankai University has only been newly built for a few years. It has all kinds of facilities and its own science museum. Naturally, there will be no shortage of auditoriums.

After lunch, Zhou Hexuan followed Zhang Boling to the auditorium.

The students who got the news rushed over one after another, and within a short while the seats were full, even the aisles were full of people standing.

Zhou Hexuan is a celebrity in Tianjin. The local students are very familiar with him. How could they miss this good opportunity to get in touch with him? Not to mention the university department, even the middle school department heard the news and rushed to a lot of students.

Looking at the crowds below, Zhou Hexuan stood on the stage and said with a smile: "I won't be giving a speech today, let's ask questions freely. Students who have questions, please raise your hands."

The students looked at each other and suddenly hula raised a bunch of arms.

Zhou Hexuan chose one at random: "The classmate who wears blue clothes and glasses."

The student stood up excitedly: "Mr. Zhou, what do you think of the current war? Which side do you think will win?"

Zhou Hexuan smiled, avoiding the truth and said falsely: "This is more difficult to say, maybe, we will know the truth in half a year."

"Do you think it will be finished within this year?" the student asked.

"I think so." Zhou Hexuan said ambiguously, but in fact he expressed it clearly.

Now that the Northern Expeditionary Army has almost reached Shandong, the momentum is like a rainbow. If the war ends within this year, then Zhang Zuolin will definitely lose.

The second student was even more interesting. He said indignantly, "Mr. Zhou, I admired you very much, and even went to buy your new book. But you disappointed me so much, you actually advocated dictatorship!"

"Have you watched "Guns, Germs and Steel"?" Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile without getting angry.

"I saw it, I was very angry!" said the student.

Zhou Hexuan laughed and said, "A book with 320,000 words, why don't you pay attention to the first 300,000 words, but focus on the last 20,000 words?"

The student said: "Because I yearn for freedom and democracy!"

Zhou Hexuan ignored it, and said: "Let's not talk about political orientation, let's talk about "Guns, Germs, and Steel" today."
