Zhang Kangren currently lives in Berkeley, California, where he served as the director of Chinese Navy students.↑,

Lin Zixuan remembered that he came to the United States to sue with great enthusiasm. Without Zhang Kangren's help, he might have taken many detours and paid a large amount of tuition to American lawyers.

They have not been in close contact in recent years. After all, they are too far apart and don’t contact each other much.

But he will not forget this friendship, this is an old man worthy of respect.

After obtaining Zhang Kangren's address in California, Lin Zixuan took Lin Xiaoling to California to visit Zhang Kangren.

He had known that Zhang Kangren had heart disease and had been undergoing medication. As he grew older, his health was worse than before, and his social activities were reduced. He spent most of his time recuperating at home.

Zhang Kangren was quite surprised by Lin Zixuan's arrival.

He helped Lin Zixuan to use Lin Zixuan's lawsuit to improve the situation of Chinese people in the United States. It can be said that he has selfish intentions.

Now Lin Zixuan's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and has been reported by mainstream media in the United States, becoming the pride of Chinese people.

In the Chinese community in the United States, there are much more Chinese people who know Lin Zixuan than those who know the warlord leaders in China. They believe that Lin Zixuan represents China.

Zhang Kangren could not imagine the height Lin Zixuan would reach in the future.

As Time magazine said, this Chinese writer is still too young and has a bright future.

He asked Lin Zixuan to meet with the Chinese living in the United States and say some encouragement.

Just like the article "I Have a Dream" written for black people, it can inspire Chinese Americans to continue to fight and fight for their own right to survive in the United States.

It is not only for this generation of Chinese, but also for their descendants.

No one wants their children to live in a discriminated environment, unable to become naturalized, and become second-class citizens, so even if they know that their hopes are slim, they must persist.

Zhang Kangren will never forget that morning. The six of them took turns chanting "I Have a Dream", and their voices echoed in the room with passion.

At that moment, he felt that he was so close to his dream, as if within reach.

However, a few years have passed. The Chinese's status in the United States has not improved, but he has never given up.

Lin Zixuan was greatly encouraged by the mainstream American media. The American Chinese were not able to understand the mood of Chinese people without living in this era.

Lin Zixuan agreed, this was a request that he could not refuse.

He remembered that because of World War II, the United States needed China as an ally, and under China's efforts, the US government abolished the China Exclusion Act.

Although discrimination against Chinese people is still common in American society, it is difficult for Chinese to enter mainstream society in the United States, but finally it has given Chinese hope.

However, that will happen twenty years later.

At this time, China was still in a warlord melee. Duan Qirui's government recognized a series of unequal treaties signed with Western powers before, and the negotiations on the May 30th Massacre were delayed.

This is the best proof that a weak country has no diplomacy.

Only when the country is strong can the rights and interests of overseas Chinese be better protected.

Before this, Lin Zixuan could not do much, and could only comfort and inspire overseas Chinese with words.

Zhang Kangren is quite influential among Chinese Americans. He and Lin Zixuan came to New York and gathered representatives of Chinese living in New York in Chinatown.

They have business elites, but they are mostly engaged in business activities at the bottom of society, as well as representatives of gang members and laborers.

Lin Zixuan communicated with them and gave a speech in a small theater. Hundreds of Chinese living in New York came.

The title of his speech was "My Chinese Dream".

He proposed the concept of "Chinese Dream", the so-called Chinese Dream, which is to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

We have a civilization history of five thousand years and a brilliant ancient civilization. We are no less inferior to any nation in this world, but more noble than them.

We are the descendants of the dragon. After a hundred years of humiliation, the Chinese people have gradually awakened, no longer sleeping lions, and are at slaughtered by others, and will eventually become the flying dragon.

To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is not simply to regain the glory of the past. Instead, to make China, which has been bullied by the great powers, stronger.

If a country is not prosperous and strong, it will be bullied; if a nation is not rejuvenated, it will be without the appearance of being the descendant of the dragon.

This Chinese dream may require the joint efforts of a generation, or even several generations, and requires every Chinese to make his own contribution, but it will eventually be realized.

Please remember that we have a common name called China, and we have a common ancestor called Yanhuang.

At the end of the speech, Lin Zixuan thought about the current situation of China in this era, the humiliation suffered by this country, and looked at the Chinese below, some of them were excited, a little confused, and some were dissatisfied.

The young people are excited, and they are still passionate and easily moved.

What is confused are middle-aged people. After experiencing various social injustice, they begin to doubt whether China will really become stronger in the future.

Most of the people who disagree are the elderly. They have seen too many tragedies and have long been used to and numb.

Lin Zixuan understood that this speech might not have achieved the expected results.

It is useless to just shout slogans, giving them hope that they will realize it at some point. They also expect China to be strong, but reality often disappoints.

When Sun Zhongshan came to the United States to raise funds, preparing to overthrow the Qing government and establish a new Republic of China, they gave great support.

Now the Qing government has long been overthrown, and the Republic of China has been established for fourteen years. The warlords in China are still fighting in a melee, and their situation has not improved, or even become more severe.

The most common question Lin Zixuan asked when he communicated with them just now was the domestic environment.

When will the civil war be stopped, national unity be achieved, and the country is prosperous and the army is strengthened?

He couldn't answer.

Finally, Lin Zixuan decided to end the speech in a special way, and he was about to sing a song.

"The rivers and mountains are only in my dreams. The motherland has not been close to me for many years, but no matter what, it cannot be changed. My Chinese heart. Although I wear a dress, my heart is still Chinese heart. My ancestors have long branded everything about me with Chinese seal."

"The Yangtze River, the Great Wall, the Huangshan Mountains, and the Yellow River are a thousand pounds in my heart, no matter when, no matter where, I am as close as I am. The blood flowing in my heart is surging with the voice of China. Even if I am in a foreign land, I cannot change my Chinese heart."

At this moment, Lin Zixuan sang this song "My Chinese Heart" with great emotion.

The Chinese below didn't know what Lin Zixuan was going to do, but listening to this song, I slowly felt uncomfortable and tears flowed down.

This song sings the voices of overseas Chinese, and many Chinese sang it along with it.

Zhang Kangren looked at Lin Zixuan and was very excited.

Lin Zixuan’s Chinese Dream is very good, but it is still far from overseas Chinese.

This song sings the hearts of overseas Chinese. Although they are far away from their hometowns, they have never forgotten the land they have been dreaming about. They all have a Chinese heart. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
