The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

In our impression, the titles of newspapers during the Republic of China should be serious and the content should be mixed with plain text.

This is absolutely not the case...

For example, when He Yingqin was the mayor of Hunan Province (Harmony), he returned to his hometown to sweep his tomb during the Qingming Festival. The newspaper headline was "He Yingqin, the mayor of Hunan Province (Harmony), went to Yuelu Mountain yesterday to visit his mother's grave."

For example, praising Feng Zikai's superb painting skills and his ability to highlight the characters' emotions without drawing expressions, the newspaper headline was "Feng Zikai is shameless in painting".

Another example is a headline reporting on skyrocketing prices and stagnant wages: "Public education personnel are not objects—they are objects and their prices should be increased!" ", "It's easy to throw people away because of the price. If the sesame cakes are thinner, the fried dough sticks will be thinner."

This time, the "News" took a funny title, called "The Nobel bomb can't kill Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou conquered the Nobel":

"...It is reported that the three bombs thrown by the assassins at Mr. Zhou used homemade colloidal explosives. This kind of explosive is so powerful that it happened to be invented by Nobel. And on the fifth day of Mr. Zhou's assassination, he conquered Sweden The School of Liberal Arts successfully won this year’s Nobel Prize for Literature..."

"Since Mr. Zhou wrote "The Goddess", this is the third time he has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. According to a European scholar, Mr. Zhou's process of winning the award was full of twists and turns, and his biggest competitor is O'Neill. O'Neill Mr. Er pioneered American national drama and was the first person in the American theater world, and his works are also widely sought after in Europe."

"Generally speaking, the Nobel Prize final election has a maximum of four rounds of voting. Mr. Zhou and O'Neill are matched against each other, and they will meet good talents. It is difficult for the academicians of the Swedish Academy to make a choice, and there is no tie for three consecutive rounds of voting. Nobel Prize The official made an exception and increased the number of voting rounds, and it was not until the seventh round of voting that Mr. Zhou finally won."

"Mr. Zhou's award proves that China also has great literature and great writers. Mr. Zhou's victory over O'Neill can be said to mean that Chinese literature has defeated American literature, making our 40 million compatriots feel proud in the world. Looking at the entire world In Asia, the only recipients of the Nobel Prize are Rabindranath Tagore from India and Zhou Hexuan from China. Tagore's award means that the world cannot underestimate India; today's award by Zhou also means that the world cannot underestimate China."

"Mr. Harvey, the editor-in-chief of "Zi Lin Xi Bao", recently informed the author that Mr. Zhou has been hailed as a 'great man' and a 'great writer' in Europe, and all his works are out of stock. Only in London, there are Twelve printing presses work day and night to print Mr. Zhou's works."

"14 top European universities, including the University of London, the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, the University of Paris, and the University of Berlin, have issued academic exchange invitations to Mr. Zhou and plan to award an honorary doctorate in literature. The Mayor of London recently announced that he will be awarded Mr. Zhou's title of 'Honorary Citizen of London'..."

…

In fact, on the day when major news agencies around the world announced that Zhou Hexuan had won the Nobel Prize, a big news happened in China.

Wang Zhaoming was assassinated!

And the number one suspect behind the scenes is Lao Jiang.

Chang Kaishen had a very big motive for committing the crime. For example, he was taking over power recently and had a serious quarrel with Wang Zhaoming. Another example is that the assassination occurred when senior officials were taking a group photo. Chang Kaishen, who was supposed to be present, happened to not show up at that time.

In fact, Chiang Kai-shek really took the blame this time, and the killer's first target was him. Because Chiang Kai-shek temporarily changed his schedule, he was able to shoot Wang Zhaoming without missing a beat.

But it’s hard to explain this kind of thing. People have already concluded that it was Lao Jiang who instigated it. Even when Chang Kaishen rushed to the scene of the assassination, Wang Zhaoming's wife held him tightly, crying and shouting: "You don't want Mr. Wang to do it, Mr. Wang can stop doing it, why did you send someone to do this?"

Lao Jiang's face turned dark on the spot.

November 2, the day after Wang Zhaoming was assassinated.

Nanjing, Qilu.

Xu Enzeng, Director of the First Military Command Division, and Dai Li, Director of the Second Division, were waiting in the living room with trepidation.

Chang Kaishen came out wearing a coat, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and asked in a calm tone: "Tell me, what's the progress?"

Seeing Lao Jiang's appearance, Xu Enzeng and Dai Li became more and more frightened. They wanted Lao Jiang to yell at "Mother Xipi".

"There is no progress yet." Xu Enzeng lowered his head, his mouth was dry.

Dai Li also lowered his head, with a sinister sneer secretly showing at the corner of his mouth, and said: "The two journalists who attended the opening ceremony that day, Li Xing and Wang Liwen, have serious suspicions. They are reporters from the Central Party Committee. This interview mission was arranged by Wang Sicheng .”

As soon as these words came out, Xu En was frightened because Wang Sicheng was his confidant.

"The appointment, humble... humble position must be investigated thoroughly and will never be tolerated!" Xu Enzeng quickly expressed his position. He knew that he had been tricked by Dai Li this time.

Chang Kaishen narrowed his eyes: "Since there is a problem in the first place, you should take a break for a while. You don't need to participate in this investigation."

"Yes... I humbly obey my orders." Xu Enzeng said weakly. He felt that he might not be reused, and he wanted to cut Dai Li into pieces with a thousand knives.

"Go." Chang Kaishen waved.

Xu Enzeng steeled himself, stood at attention and saluted the military: "I resign from my humble position!"

After Xu Enzeng left, Chang Kaishen told Dai Li: "You are given three days to solve the case. If you exceed the time limit, don't come to see me."

"Ah?" Dai Li, who had been secretly proud just now, was instantly dumbfounded and said bitterly, "Assigned to the throne, I will do my best to live up to my high expectations!"

After sending Dai Li away, Chang Kaishen returned to the bedroom anxiously. Seeing Soong Meiling lying on the bedside reading the newspaper, he forced a smile and said, "Darling, what interesting news are you reading again?"

Song Meiling said: "What other news can there be? Apart from the assassination of Wang Zhaoming, it is Zhou Hexuan who won the award."

Zhou Hexuan won the award?

Chang Kaishen suddenly had an idea and hurriedly walked out of the bedroom and said to the adjutant: "Call me Xiao Tongzi!"

Xiao Tongzi is the president of the Central News Agency and Chiang Kai-shek's mouthpiece. He used to have a good conversation with Zhou Hexuan. After the call was connected, Chang Kaishen immediately ordered: "Hanjie, order all party media and newspapers to publish Zhou Hexuan's award on their front pages tomorrow. Spare no effort to praise me, and be sure to cover up the news about Wang Zhaoming's assassination!" "

"I understand, please rest assured." Xiao Tongzi understood instantly.

When a piece of news spreads, the best way is to suppress it with another big news. Zhou Hexuan's award is just enough weight.

After the phone call with Xiao Tongzi, Chang Kaishen ordered the Kuomintang Central Propaganda Department to take immediate action and launch various activities to study and study Zhou Hexuan. Anyway, we cannot let everyone rest and turn their attention to Zhou Hexuan winning the award, and stop talking about who killed Wang Zhaoming.

Ever since, starting from November 3, all the official media under the rule of the Kuomintang sang praises to Zhou Hexuan in unison, and the whole country was full of news that Zhou Hexuan had won the award.

"Central Daily News" boasted: "Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, among China's great thinkers, Wang Yangming is ranked first, and Zhou Mingcheng is ranked second. Wang Yangming's thoughts have a profound influence on modern Japan; Zhou Mingcheng's thoughts have a profound influence on today's world. It has a great influence. The works of these two gentlemen must be read by our people."

I heard that the great leader Mr. Chiang Kai-shek, Chairman of the National Committee of the Communist Party of China, Mr. Zhongzheng, is considering awarding Zhou Hexuan a grand medal.
