The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

"Poof!"

Suddenly an Asian student stood up in the classroom, slammed the table angrily and shouted: "I protest! Mr. Zhou, this is an unwarranted slander of the Japanese Empire and a serious insult to the Yamato nation! You must apologize!"

"I protest too!"

"I protest too!"

"..."

Four or five Asian students stood up one after another. It was obvious that they were all international students from Japan.

Since the Meiji Restoration, many Japanese students have studied in Europe and the United States, with Berlin, Germany being the most popular among them. The famous Japanese filmmaker Kawakita Nagamasa recalled: "If you go to a place like Berlin, there are many Japanese students there. You can't learn German, and you can't study the life of real Germans."

In the UK, there are also a lot of Japanese students studying abroad, and there are several who came to listen to the lecture today.

Faced with the aggressive questioning from these Japanese students, the Chinese students in the classroom could not sit still. All the Chinese students, including Ma Jue, stood up. They were originally preparing to rebut, but now there were so many people that they didn’t know who to speak first.

"Classmate Ma Jue, tell me." One of the students said.

This statement was in line with everyone's opinions. The other Chinese students immediately sat down, leaving only Ma Jue standing alone.

Only then did Zhou Hexuan see clearly that it was Ma Jue, and was a little surprised. He didn't understand why the beauty of Peking University came to London.

Ma Jue's pretty face turned red, and she quickly took a deep breath to calm down. She did not retort based on reason, but directly reprimanded: "Japan has always been a country that prides itself on etiquette, and the Yamato nation also respects teachers and respects order. Mr. Zhou is an international academic authority on history. He is your teacher who is giving this lecture today. Why are you yelling? If you have any doubts, you can discuss it together. Why do you have to apologize directly? Also, lectures have a lecture order. If you disagree with anything, you can express it in free questions. Stand now Get up and roar. First, you don't respect your teachers, second, you don't respect your classmates, third, you don't respect order, and fourth, you don't respect academics. You still have the nerve to say you are Japanese? Ah!"

"Well said!" Chinese students cheered.

Zhou Hexuan smiled and nodded at Ma Jue. Ma Jue's face turned redder, and he quickly sat down and said, "Mr. Zhou, please continue."

The mutual hostility between China and Japan made the European students excited, and the media reporters were also excitedly waiting to see the show.

Zhou Hexuan asked the Japanese student who stood up first: "What is this classmate's name?"

"Tanaka Kenzaburo." The student replied.

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "You just said that I slandered and insulted Japan. So, what part of what I said is not true? Is it the name of the country, 'Japanese slave country', or is it the anecdote that Japan likes to borrow seeds?"

"It's all fake," said Kenzaburo Tanaka. "The earliest country in Japan was called 'Yamato', and the 'Yamato nation' came from this. As for the so-called borrowing, it is just a slander from the Chinese. The height of Japanese people The improvement comes from the improvement of living standards over the past decades and is the scientific result of enhanced nutrition!”

Zhou Hexuan said with a light smile: "First of all, Yamato is not the first country to appear in the Japanese archipelago. Before Yamato, there was Yamatai. Also, do you know what the other name of Yamato is?"

"What is it?" Tanaka Kenzaburo came to the UK to major in European history. He obviously didn't understand the history of his country. In other words, their history textbooks deliberately covered up the disgraceful parts.

"The nickname of Yamato is called Wa, or Great Japan." Zhou Hexuan wrote several Chinese characters, Japanese and English phonetic symbols on the blackboard. "The pronunciation of 'Japanese' and 'Yamato' in Japanese are both 'yamato'," Yamato' is the 'Great Japanese', and 'Yamato Nation' is literally the 'Great Dwarf Nation'!"

"Hahaha!"

The Chinese students in the classroom almost laughed.

The European students also couldn't help laughing because Zhou Hexuan just expressed it in English and used the word "great", which sounded like "the great dwarf nation".

As for the "Yamato soul", should it be translated as "the great dwarf spirit"?

Tanaka Kenzaburo was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. He could only shout: "Slander, you are slandering and using strong words to make excuses!"

"As a rigorous historian, every word I say is well-documented," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile. "As early as more than 100 years ago, a farmer on Shiga Island, Japan, discovered a gold seal. , it is engraved with the "Golden Seal of the King of Han Weinu". This seal is now in a museum in Japan. I can't be the one who faked it, right? China is still very polite and feels that the word "倭" is insulting. It is giving Japan The king deliberately used the word "困" when granting the seal. The reason why the "Japanese slave country" was renamed "Yamato Kingdom" was because the Japanese king at that time felt that it was very embarrassing. If you still have objections to the word "Japanese", then We can discuss ancient Chinese books such as "Lunheng" and "Book of the Later Han"."

Tanaka Kenzaburo didn't know how to refute, and his face turned blue with depression.

"As for the Japanese borrowing seeds, there are traces to follow," Zhou Hexuan first read the original Chinese text and then translated it into English. "Qingbo Magazine" written by Zhou Hui in the Song Dynasty of China records: A Japanese boat drifted in In the (Song Dynasty), there were three to twenty people in the group. (Japanese) women were all sent away. When people from Zhongzhou (China) arrived, they chose the most beautiful ones to recommend and sleep with, and named them "Du Zhong". It can be seen from these words , Japan had a tradition of 'borrowing seeds' in the Song Dynasty."

"That's slander," another Japanese student retorted, ""Qingbo Magazine" is not an orthodox ancient book, it is just folklore!"

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Then let's talk about modern times. Mr. Tan Sitong, one of the Six Gentlemen of 1898 in China, once wrote a poem: Juanjuan, fragrant, shadow, dream, spiritual practice, this is also better than the enemy, the enemy, and the couple. Suddenly thinking about the past ten years , have you ever sought to breed in Europe? The word "seeking seed" in this poem is the "bringing" in "Qingbo Magazine", and it is also what I call "borrowing seed". In Japan's Meiji era, Ito Hirobumi advocated optimizing the race. He believed that the yellow race was weak and far inferior to the white race. After he became prime minister, he immediately implemented the "reproduction" policy. Whenever European and American white people came to Japan, they encouraged Japanese women to have sex with them in order to improve the Japanese race. This matter is not If you need to read the literature, you can go home and ask your grandparents."

Those Japanese students were very angry, but Zhou Hexuan presented the facts and reasoned, and they had no way to refute, and they were all trembling with anger.

European students felt it was particularly new. They didn't know much about Japan. After listening to Zhou Hexuan's words, they all thought that the Japanese way of thinking was very strange - there are actually national leaders who actively call on foreigners to cuckold their own men?

Zhou Hexuan continued: "The matter of 'borrowing seeds' actually reflects Japan's national character. They have always had low self-esteem, always want to become stronger, and do whatever it takes to become stronger. Let's continue to talk about Japan's 'envoys to the Tang Dynasty'. If we talk about 'Borrowing' is a true borrowing in the biological sense, so 'sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty' is a 'borrowing' in the scientific, cultural and spiritual sense..."
