The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

If he is unlucky for three lives, the county magistrate will be attached to Guo; if he does evil for three lives, he will be attached to the provincial capital of Guo; if he is full of evil, he will be attached to the capital of Guo.

This old saying is very suitable to describe Mei Siping. At this time, he actively advocates goodwill towards Japan; in the future, he will be willing to be Japan's lackey - retribution is coming, hey, he just happened to attach Guo to the capital.

Jiangning County Magistrate!

The first county magistrate in the Republic of China!

It sounds very majestic, but in fact it is all kinds of hard work, especially when one's backer is being punished.

Mei Siping was from Zhou Fohai and originally belonged to the "CC faction". However, they advocated the pro-Japanese idea that "war will lead to defeat, and peace may not lead to chaos", and gradually came together with Wang Zhaoming, and were regarded as members of the "reorganization faction". Especially last year, they teamed up with Wang Zhaoming to deceive Zhou Hexuan, which aroused Lao Jiang's fear, and now life is even more difficult.

His backer Zhou Fohai lost the trust of Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Zhaoming, who had recently taken refuge in him, was assassinated again, and Mei Siping was too frightened to sleep. The position he holds as Jiangning County Magistrate is too sensitive. It is just outside the capital Nanjing and may be replaced at any time.

Fortunately, Mei Siping is still a member of the "CC faction" on the surface and "actively supports" Chairman Chiang. Now Lao Jiang has assigned a task. As the county magistrate of the capital, he must respond immediately. If he works hard, he may be able to regain the favor of the chairman.

November 4 was the day after Chiang Kai-shek began to support Zhou Hexuan.

Mei Siping acted quickly and convened a meeting of the six section chiefs (county bureau officials) of civil affairs, finance, education, public security, land affairs, and construction in Jiangning County, as well as the district chiefs of each jurisdiction. The meeting was called "The Works of Mr. Zhou Hexuan, an International University Scholar" Research and Learning Seminar”.

In front of each participant, there was a copy of "The Rise of a Great Power", a copy of "The Goddess", a copy of "Chrysanthemum and the Knife", as well as printed manuscripts of Zhou Hexuan's poems.

County Magistrate Mei Siping, who once scolded Zhou Hexuan as a "shameless scholar", now said in a respectful tone:

"Dear colleagues, Mr. Zhou won the Nobel Prize for Literature in Europe. This is great news that deserves universal celebration. Mr. Zhou's character and knowledge are beyond doubt. His persistence in serving the country and the people is worth our efforts to learn from. Countries in Europe and the United States have spoken highly of Mr. Zhou's works, and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek highly praised them."

"The Chairman of the Chairman once said with emotion: Zhou Mingcheng is a great scholar and great thinker, and his works must be read! Today we are holding this meeting to study and discuss Mr. Zhou's works, and at the same time to learn about the Chairman's 'New Life Movement' Let’s combine it. Let’s have a meeting first to make a charter. When you go back, you must also summon your subordinates to seriously study and understand the Chairman’s thoughts and Mr. Zhou’s works!”

"Especially the county education department must mobilize teachers and students throughout the county to do a good job in publicity and study. We must effectively combine Chairman Chiang's 'New Life Movement' with Mr. Zhou's academic thoughts..."

Many officials in Jiangning County looked solemn. When Mei Siping finished speaking, they immediately clapped their hands crazily.

Of course, it is inevitable that some people will feel contempt. Everyone knows that their county magistrate wrote an article last year criticizing Zhou Hexuan, and was the pioneer of the "anti-Zhou faction".

Mei Siping called by name and said: "Chief Qi, you are in charge of education, so please say a few words first."

"Well, ahem," Section Chief Qi coughed twice, shook his head and said, "Brother, when I was in Guangzhou, ah, when I was in Guangzhou, I followed the Chairman, ahem, to make revolution! What is the Chairman like? Man? Ah. What kind of man? Brother, I, ah, still know him relatively well! Chairman, that is a hero who comes out every 500 years, ah, a great man! I don’t need to say more about this brother, ah, there is no need to say more. , all 40 million compatriots know it! Brother, I once had the honor to listen to the chairman’s teachings in person, ah, the chairman’s teachings. Well, the New Life Movement is to have a new atmosphere, ah, a new atmosphere. There is a lot of waste waiting to be done, If China wants to rise, ah, then everything must be new! Brother, I followed the Chairman of the Generalissimo in the Northern Expedition, ah, followed the Chairman of the Generalissimo in the Northern Expedition. At that time, the Chairman of the Generalissimo was new in everything, ah. Look at the Beiyang government. Son, ah, female students all have long hair. Not good! Ah, very bad! Long hair, short knowledge! Ah, very bad! Our National Government is different, ah, very different, all female students have their hair cut. Short hair! Ah, once your hair is short, your knowledge becomes longer. What is a new life? Ah, brother, I think this is the new life! The chairman of the committee sees far, he sees far, brother, I just admire him! Which of you dares Don’t you admire me? Ah, I admire you all..."

After talking a lot of nonsense about the New Life Movement, Section Chief Qi finally said about Zhou Hexuan: "Brother, I, ah, went abroad before, and traveled a lot in Europe, ah, a lot." It’s not a big deal when it comes to foreigners, ah, it’s not a big deal. It’s a lie to say that China is the sick man of East Asia, ah, it’s a lie. Don’t look at all the foreigners who are tall and tall, that’s because they are dwarfs who haven’t gone abroad! Ah, they haven’t gone abroad. Don’t believe it! Brother, when I was in Europe, I saw a lot, ah, a lot. Speaking of the French, there were a lot of dwarfs, ah, a lot. And in Italy, there were a lot of dwarfs. Why is it said that Mr. Zhou has won glory for the country? This height is the first to win glory. Brother, I have seen Mr. Zhou in person, ah, I have seen him in person. Mr. Zhou is tall, taller than many foreigners, and he is very talented. Ah, what a talent. Mr. Zhou stands with foreigners this time. Ah, in comparison, just in terms of height and appearance, the foreigners are inferior. The magnanimity of a big country, ah! Brother, I..."

Although Mei Siping was flattering and shameless, his level of knowledge was extremely high. After hearing Section Chief Qi's nonsense, he finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Ahem, Section Chief Qi's speech was very exciting, everyone applauds!"

"Snap, snap, snap!"

There was thunderous applause, and many people laughed so hard that their cheeks hurt.

Mei Siping said with a headache: "Who else wants to speak?"

"Let me offer some advice." A district chief named Li stood up.

"District Chief Li, please speak." Mei Siping said with a smile.

The district chiefs of Jiangning County are all top students who graduated from the Central Political School, and their level is obviously higher than that of Section Chief Qi just now. District Chief Li opened the poem manuscript in front of him and said: "I like to read poetry, especially Mr. Zhou's "Answer". Despicableness is the passport of the despicable, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble. These two sentences are written like this. Very good, it exposed the shamelessness of the Beiyang warlords and praised the nobility of the Northern Expedition. But I want to say that Mr. Zhou is still too pessimistic. Victory is ultimately on the side of the righteous. The despicable Beiyang government was defeated by the noble Northern Expedition. The soldiers were buried in graves! What do these two lines of poems embody? They exactly embody the spirit of the Chairman’s New Life Movement! This is an update of social atmosphere. Under the rule of the former Beiyang government, despicable people could communicate without hindrance, while noble people could only Suck it up. Under the leadership of the Chairman, the noble people defeated the despicable people and gave China a bright future! Under the rule of the Chairman, the despicable people can only remain in the dark, while the noble people can give full play to their talents!"

"Well said!" Mei Siping clapped his hands and praised, "District Chief Li's speech was very high-level. He fully described the Chairman's far-sightedness and dedication to the people, as well as Mr. Zhou's talent. This passage must be written down in its original text. When various departments go back to organize studies, they must conduct research carefully!"

With this good start, the ideas of those who came after him became broader. Another district chief Niu said: "I also love to read poetry, and my favorite is Mr. Zhou's "A Generation". The night gave me black eyes, but I used It looks for the light. What is the dark night? It is the brutal rule of the Beiyang warlords. What is the light? It is the National Government established by the Chairman! The New Life Movement advocated by the Chairman is to eliminate all backwardness and corruption, especially political corruption... "

At the conference, the section chiefs and district heads all made passionate speeches. County Magistrate Mei Siping said: This was a successful conference, an inspiring conference, and a positive conference for learning Chairman Chiang’s new life thoughts and studying Mr. Zhou’s outstanding works. It provided clear guidance for the political work of Jiangning County. !

Such conferences are being held across the country.
