Chapter 147 New Year

The man's name is Xu Wenqiang, a former student at Yenching University. He was a patriotic young man. He was arrested for participating in a demonstration in May 1919 and was detained for three years.

His release this time was related to the civil war between the Beiyang government.

In April 1922, the first warlord war between the Fengtian and Zhili broke out.

Wu Peifu, a direct warlord supported by Britain and the United States, joined forces with warlords in six provinces to attack Liang Shiyi's cabinet and stolen the country in Japan, forcing Liang Shiyi to resign.

On May 5, the Fengtian warlord Zhang Zuolin, supported by Japan, was defeated and withdrew from the customs, and Wu Peifu won the war.

On June 17, 1922, with the intervention of Britain, the United States and other countries, the Zhifeng Party clamped down and signed a peace agreement.

The direct warlords controlled the Beiyang government. In order to show their progressive and friendly side, Wu Peifu adopted the "good government" proposed by Hu Shi on September 19 and established the so-called "good government" composed of intellectual elites with the legal scholar Wang Chonghui as the cabinet prime minister.

However, this good man government only lasted for 72 days. On November 29, Wang Chonghui resigned.

Although this good-man government is just a decoration, it has also done some things, including the release of the arrested patriotic young people, and Xu Wenqiang was released.

He left the train station and walked towards the French Concession in the night. He wanted to find a former classmate.

As soon as Xu Wenqiang walked far, he encountered a group of social forces that were slashing each other with swords.

Zhabei District belongs to the Chinese realm and is a relatively chaotic place with poor public security. Such territorial disputes and robbery are common.

Just when he was at a loss, he was pulled aside by a pear vendor and hid.

This pear seller is called Ding Li. He hangs out around Zhabei Railway Station and makes a living by selling fruits. He is a master of pear-piercing, known as "Fruit Ali".

He also worked as a "top-top palace", which means that a few people cooperated and snatched away their hats when the crowd was crowded.

When Ding Li knew that Xu Wenqiang was about to arrive in the French Concession, he told him that he would be investigated by the police at night when entering and leaving the French Concession. He could not enter without an identity certificate, so he could only wait until the daytime to go in with the vendors.

He warmly invited Xu Wenqiang to stay at his house for one night.

So Xu Wenqiang came to Ding Li's home and spent the night in that simple house.

On the second day, Xu Wenqiang left the Ding family and went to the French Concession. What awaited him would be a completely different new life.

Some things are like this. I felt very dull when I first experienced it, but looking back in the future, this may be fate.

Lin Zixuan got up and had breakfast, and habitually looked through the newspaper.

In Shanghai, families above the middle class will subscribe to two newspapers, one "Document" and the other "News News".

These two newspapers cover almost all news reports in Shanghai. Shenbao focuses on people's livelihood, while Newspaper prefers political news.

The headline of "Declaration" is Einstein's speech in the Public Concession yesterday.

It is said that the atmosphere on the scene is very warm, and many famous scholars listened carefully below in the posture of students. Some college students even cheered many times, and some people even burst into tears.

After the speech, Chinese scholars asked a variety of questions and looked forward to Einstein's answer.

They seemed to regard Einstein as an omnipotent God, thinking that by waving his hand, he could create a small universe.

The headline of the Newspaper is a New Year's Day Declaration published by Sun Zhongshan, which elaborates on his political proposition, that is, "it is based on the Three Principles of the People as the foundation of the country and the Five Powers Constitution as the system program."

Over the past period of time, Sun Zhongshan has been reorganizing his political party, with significant results.

This afternoon, he will also give a speech at Shanghai Vientiane Radio Station, calling on the whole nation to unite.

Although Lin Zixuan claimed that Vientiane Radio is a commercial radio station and has no political tendency, everyone knows that as a propaganda tool, this kind of situation will inevitably occur.

Sun Zhongshan also saw the radio's promotional function and made this request to Lin Zixuan.

There are at least 2,000 radios in Shanghai nowadays, and they are growing day by day and are developing very rapidly. Most of these radios are in middle-class families, and the views of these people can be influenced through radio.

Lin Zixuan could not refuse this request, and it was worth taking some risk for it.

He will go to the Wanxiang Bookstore in the afternoon to accompany Sun Zhongshan on this historical broadcast.

Lin Zixuan turned to the fourth page and only then did the news of his marriage appear. This was published as entertainment news. He was not dissatisfied with it. Compared with Sun Zhongshan and Einstein, he was just a small person.

Einstein left Shanghai in the morning, and there should be many people seeing him off, and Lin Zixuan didn't plan to join in the fun.

He thought about whether he should work hard for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Einstein's popularity in Shanghai has a lot to do with his winning of the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Even if you don’t understand the theory of relativity, Chinese scholars will only think that they are not knowledgeable enough, and will not suspect that Einstein is a liar. This is the halo effect brought by the Nobel Prize in Physics.

However, the Nobel Prize has never been fair, and Oriental people need more effort to win the Nobel Prize.

Either you are controversial, or you have works that they cannot ignore.

"The Old Man and the Sea" alone is probably not enough, but literary works that can shock the world.

Moreover, age is also a problem. Thirty years later, it should not be a big problem, but Lin Zixuan is only in his twenties, so they would not consider this young oriental.

In history, the youngest Nobel Prize winner in Literature is the 44-year-old Frenchman, Albertamus.

Camus is a representative figure of absurd philosophy and its literature, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957.

Sometimes, age is also a kind of qualification.

This issue can be temporarily put on hold, and there will be no intersection between Lin Zixuan and the Nobel Prize in Literature within at least a few years.

After a break in the morning, Lin Zixuan and Feng Chengcheng came to Wanxiang Bookstore to prepare for Sun Zhongshan's arrival. This matter must not be wrong, and everything must be smooth.

At 2:30 p.m., Sun Zhongshan and Soong Qingling came on time. Lin Zixuan and his colleagues from Wanxiang Bookstore prepared a small welcome ceremony.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the radio station officially started broadcasting.

First, a piece of music was played, and then the broadcaster introduced the following program.

Sun Zhongshan stood in front of the microphone and began to give a speech. He didn't get the manuscript and just started talking.

Lin Zixuan and the others listened quietly. Jiang Wei, who had been intern at Wanxiang Bookstore, and her classmate Wang Jianhong were also behind the crowd, witnessing this moment.

The speech lasted for more than half an hour, and Sun Zhongshan left a picture of the inscription and left at four o'clock.
