Murong Yao arrived once again. It was already the morning of the third day at Qingyang High School. Facing all the teachers who had smiles on their faces, Murong Yao respectfully bowed to them. Now that they were reunited on campus, the memory of the top scorer from three years ago was still fresh in their minds. Respecting the teacher was a virtue of the Chinese people. When he felt that his back was about to break, Murong Yao finally completed the etiquette of respecting the teacher. The old principal laughed and said," Let's talk about the small talk later. Our school finally has geography class. The teachers who don't have class next time will help us. Teacher, stand on the platform!”

Of course, other than the passion, Murong Yao also felt some strange, cold, and suspicious gazes. However, Murong Yao did not care.

Although the auditorium was a little old, it was clean and tidy. Under the fierce gaze of the principal and the other teachers, Murong Yao's worries did not happen. Looking at the students below, Murong Yao, who was on the podium, smiled excitedly and said,""Hello, students! From today onwards, I will be your geography teacher. My surname is Murong, and you can call me Teacher Murong. If you find it troublesome, you can just call me Teacher Mu. Three years ago, I was sitting in the same chair as you and listening to the teacher, so we should be schoolmates, although I might be younger than you. However, I can't deny that I'm your senior, and you're my juniors!”

The students below laughed.,

The old principal was afraid that it would affect the class discipline and wanted to stand up. Murong Yao made a gesture and continued,""Studying is a rigorous matter. Today's classroom is a little big. I'm afraid that the students sitting at the back can't hear clearly, so please don't speak and maintain class discipline. If there's anything you can't hear or understand, you can raise your hand.”

"Since there are no textbooks, please take notes carefully. I will try my best to speak slowly. Next, our geography class will begin!”

Murong Yao turned around and used chalk to draw a large figure on the blackboard.""This is a map of the Republic of China. Please use your imagination. Raise your hand if you think of it!"

After a moment of silence, a student timidly raised his hand. Murong Yao gestured for the student to stand up and say,""Like flatbread!" There was another round of laughter.

(On the map of the Republic of China, Outer Mongolia is a part of China, so the shape is not a rooster.)

More answers appeared on the blackboard: Pot lids, steamed buns, tree leaves, and so on.

All sorts of answers appeared in the classroom. Murong Yao made a summary,""The students 'answers are very imaginative. I think the leaf is more to the point. Well, it might also be like a vegetable leaf. Anyway, the map of our Republic of China is like a leaf, right?”

Then, Murong Yuan drew a curve on the map."This is the Yangtze River and Wuhu is right here. Then, right below Wuhu, I pointed at a dot. This is our Qingyang!”

Some students raised their hands." It's so close. It's almost 200 miles away!"”

"Yes! There were indeed some roads, but on the map, they were that close. I would like to ask the students here, which is the furthest place you have been to?”

A classmate raised his hand.”Another student raised his hand.”Then, many students raised their hands."Huizhou, Luzhou, Nanjing."

"Can any of you tell me the furthest place your family or other people have been to?”

Shanghai, Bengbu, Peiping, Guangzhou!”

Murong Yao marked these places on the map.

"Most of them are concentrated in a small area in the southeast, so our Republic of China is very vast. The territory is filled with mountains, rivers, deserts, forests, lakes, and plains. Just this Yangtze River is more than 10,000 miles long. It takes two and a half hours for the sun to shine from the east to the west of the Republic of China. Many of us spend our entire lives in a very small place.”

Then, Murong Yao drew a picture on the right side of the picture and asked,""Students, look at the shape of this image.”

This time, everyone unanimously said,"Like a worm!"

"Yes, it does look like a worm and it's a pest. This is our neighbor to the east of the Republic of China. It's also a country called Japan. Now, this pest is eating away at the left leaf!”

Then, Murong Yao pointed at a point on the map.""This place is called Beiping. It was the capital of our country during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Then, I clicked a little below. This small place is called Lugouqiao. On July 7th this year, the Japanese army stirred up trouble at Lugouqiao, and then on July 29th, the Japanese army occupied Peiping.”

Next, Murong Yao pointed at another point on the map.""This place is called Shanghai. I believe many of you have heard of it or have been there. On August 13th this year, 300,000 Japanese navy and army troops attacked our Shanghai. Our National Government's army fought back with all their might, and the battle is still continuing!”

Following Murong Yao's explanation, the classroom was filled with depression. Many students had already clenched their fists. Murong Yao continued,"Although our Celestial Empire is big, it is very weak. In the past 100 years, it has been the imperialist powers that have been bullying us. During the Second Opium War in 1860, the armies of England and France occupied Beiping and burned down the palace garden, Yuanmingyuan. In 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beiping, and the city was ravaged. This time, the Japanese had occupied Beiping. This was the third time in the past 100 years that a foreign army had occupied Beiping!”

The classroom was silent. The students were all listening attentively to Murong Yao's lecture.

"Students! As the Japanese occupied northern China and then began to attack eastern China, there was not a single desk for peace-loving students to study in the war-torn areas. The Japanese were already clamoring to occupy China in three months!”

After that, Murong Yao continued," Although I drew the territory of the Republic of China just now, our land is actually incomplete.”

Murong Yao drew a large downward curve on the map. Pointing at the marked area, he said," This place is called Outer Mongolia. We also have a neighbor in the north called the Soviet Union. They encouraged the local civilians in Outer Mongolia to fight for independence. This place is now actually controlled by the Soviet Union!”There was also this place. Murong Yao drew a line in the upper right corner,""There are more than three provinces of the Republic of China here, commonly known as the Three Eastern Provinces. In fact, this place was even larger than the three northeastern provinces. It was already near the Great Wall. In addition to the northeastern provinces of Hei Long Jiang, Ji Lin, and Liao Ning, it also included Jehe, Chahar, and a part of Inner Mongolia. On September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army launched the September 18th Incident in Northeast China. In February 1932, the entire Northeast fell. The Japanese then moved the overthrown Manchu Emperor to the three eastern provinces and established the puppet Manchuria. Fu Yi, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty who had been driven out of the Royal Court, became the emperor of the puppet Manchuria.”

Murong Yao's two lines had taken out nearly one-fifth of the entire country. Murong Yao continued,"Our Celestial Empire may be poor and backward, but we Celestial people are also hot-blooded. We are not willing to be slaves of a subjugated nation! In this war of resistance in Shanghai, the Chinese army fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army. They would block the Japanese in the tiny Shanghai Bund!”

"After the Lugouqiao Incident, President Jiang of the National Government made a solemn statement. Once the war broke out, it meant that regardless of age, age, north or south, everyone had the responsibility to defend their territory and resist the war. Everyone should be determined to sacrifice everything.”

"Students! Today's lesson isn't the main lesson of our geography class. Before the main lesson, I think it's necessary to give the students a supplement on the current affairs and politics of China's geography to let everyone know the heavy responsibility of our generation. My lesson is over. Today's class discipline is very good. Thank you for your support! Thank you, students, for your positive comments and participation!”

"Before the class officially ends, I thought of a song called 'March of the Heroes'. I reckon that many students know how to sing it, or at least have heard of it. We'll use this song as the bell for the class to end.”

Get up! People who were unwilling to be slaves!

Build our new Great Wall with our flesh and blood!

The Chinese nation has reached its most dangerous moment.

Everyone was forced to let out a final roar.

Get up! Get up! Get up!

We are united,

Braving the enemy's artillery fire, advance!

Braving the enemy's artillery fire, advance!

Forward! Forward! Enter!

In the beginning, only a small number of people sang along. Later on, more and more people sang, and it became louder and louder. Even the old principal and the teachers who were listening to the lecture stood up and sang excitedly.

The song pushed the class to a climax, and the class ended at the climax.

The song was like a surging torrent, echoing in the air of the school for a long time. This was the unyielding roar of the Chinese nation! This was also the heartfelt roar of millions of people in the Heavenly Dynasty!

When Murong Yao walked out of the classroom and wanted to wash his hands, he was blocked by a group of people. The old principal and a group of teachers and students were present.

"Teacher Murong, that's great! I haven't heard such a high-spirited class in a long time. I didn't expect your class to have such a great influence. I'm so excited. I feel like I've become younger. This is like a battle declaration. Our school has been silent for too long. We need passion and change! Murong, thank you! Now, on behalf of the school, I welcome you to Qingyang High School! Qingyang High School also welcomes you! You still have a class in the afternoon. From now on, it will be arranged on Wednesday morning and afternoon.”

Murong Yao looked at the old principal, Teacher Tan, and those familiar faces and said,""Alright! No problem!"
