Early 1914.
October 9-The German army occupies Antwerp.
At this time, the western powers in China were completely drawn away, so there was not much power left to interfere with the changes in China.
Today, in the auditorium of Peking University,
It was overcrowded.
Countless students and outsiders gathered.
Today, Peking University was expanding.
As long as they provided the appropriate identification, they would be able to enter Peking University.
Because today was the day of Mr. Jin Gu's public speech at Peking University.
It was early in the morning, and there were already countless people gathered in the auditorium.
Of course, Su Qingxuan and the little guy had been arranged by the ship.
In the huge auditorium.
The sound of conversation was endless.
"Mr. Jin Gu, I heard that the speaker this time is Mr. Jin Gu!”
"I heard about it too. I'm looking forward to it. I wonder what Mr. Jin Gu looks like.”
"I think it should be a gentle and refined old gentleman.”
“。The crab is peeling my shell, and the notebook is writing about me.
The sky full of me fell on the maple leaves and snowflakes.
And you're thinking about me."
"What a heartbreaking poem.”
"Mr. Jin Gu, I originally thought that he was just an imaginative person. After all, he was able to create the Legend of the Condor Heroes and all kinds of martial arts novels. I didn't expect Mr. Jin Gu's talent to far exceed my imagination.”
"Yes, I am!"
"Let's wait. The speech starts at nine. It's about to start.”
.....
The voices were mixed with curiosity and anticipation towards Jiang Chen.
These voices were mixed in.
The Peking University professors led a group of young people into the venue.
"He, he can't be Mr. Jin Gu, right?”
Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.
Jiang Chen was too young.
His handsome appearance, handsome facial features, and tall figure instantly attracted the attention of all the women, but it was a surprise to the men.
They thought of Jiang Chen as an old man, and they also thought of Jiang Chen as a middle-aged scholar, but they never expected Jiang Chen to look like a young man.
However, no matter how shocked they were, they couldn't believe it.
Hu Renyuan, their principal, stepped forward.
"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Jin Gu, Mr. Jin.”
A sonorous voice was heard from the loudspeaker, instantly causing the entire venue to fall silent.
"Hello, everyone. My surname is Jiang Chen. Of course, you can also call me Jin Gu. In my spare time, I read storytelling for a few days and then wanted to write some stories. I didn't expect stories to be so popular.”
Jiang Chen stepped forward and his smiling voice spread throughout the Tang Empire.
Everyone was suddenly jolted awake.
"Mister Jin Gu, Mister Jin Gu!”
"Mister Jin Gu!"
......
For a moment, the entire venue exploded.
In this era, what was important was the age of youth. In this era, what was important was the age of display. The moment Jin Gu was a young man, it was enough to cause an uproar in the entire venue.
When the excitement of these people gradually calmed down, Jiang Chen lowered his voice.
"Everyone, I am honored to be able to stand on this stage. As for today, I do not intend to speak in the vernacular or ancient language.”
Jiang Chen's words were extremely sonorous. His internal force made his voice even more penetrating.
"Mr. Jin Gu, are you going to talk about martial arts?”
"Mr. Jin Gu, speak some vernacular!”
"Mr. Jin Gu, can you write another poem in the vernacular?”
.....
As Jiang Chen opened his mouth again, the venue became noisy again.
When it quieted down a little, Jiang Chen pressed his hand down and continued.
"This humble one is going to talk about our country and our people.”
"Ever since the Three Emperors ruled the world and the Five Emperors settled the social order, China has been a central country for more than 4,700 years. Decades ago, we encountered an unprecedented crisis. The western powers used cannons and giant ships to blast open our country's gates. China fell, ceding territory and paying reparations. As a result, the people of China lost confidence in China and our nation and lost their goals. I headed north, and countless students asked me whether China should learn from Fusang or the west to revitalize itself. I had nothing to say about this, nor did I have a topic to answer. Since when did China need such a thing?”
"5,000 years ago, we faced the same flood as the Japanese. Four thousand years ago we played with bronze like the Babylonians; Three thousand years ago, we thought about philosophy like the Chinese. Two thousand years ago, we fought like the romans; A thousand years ago we were as rich as the Arabs; For the past 5,000 years, we have been on the world table, and our opponents have changed several rounds!!! Is there really no hope for our nation?”
"I think there is hope, and there is also a future. I can see our country, this nation, stand at the top of the world again, and it will definitely stand at the top of the world.”
"Our Chinese people are hardworking and frugal. We have always been known for our diligence, bravery, and endurance. For example," we work hard for the public, we discipline ourselves with thrift,"" we cultivate ourselves with quietness..."
We have a long history and a splendid civilization. In the long river of history, we strive for self-improvement. We are loyal to the country. Our nation has the most valuable spirit--loyal to the country. Its profound sense of social responsibility is one of our national character.
We advocate peace. Our people are the people who advocate peace the most. From the "abdication of Yao and Shun" to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period until now, for thousands of years...
We are a nation of etiquette, respect others, reciprocate courtesy, care about face, consider the overall situation, etiquette and so on..”
"We will rise, and we will rise!”
"Hope is at your feet, and the future is in your hands!”
"We are Huaxia!"
Jiang Chen's words were unconsciously mixed with internal force that spread far and wide. Even the penetrative power became stronger and stronger. Many people trembled from their bodies to their souls.
There was a long silence below the stage.
It wasn't because Jiang Chen's words were too simple, but because his words were too shocking. They directly penetrated everyone's hearts and made them unable to recover for a long time.
It was only after a moment that thunderous applause rang out.
That's right, it was the Thunder God of War.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and their blood was boiling.
Jiang Chen's words were extremely provocative and infectious. At this moment, these silent hearts were completely awakened.
The citizens of the Eldest Empire were proud, but they also felt inferior.
Our pride has been established in this world for thousands of years and has never fallen. Our inferiority complex is still there. At this moment, even a small island country can order them around. The world has completely changed.
When strong ships and sharp cannons open the gates of the country.
Self-denial was inevitable.
This kind of self-denial would become more and more obvious as the country faced more and more difficulties.
It would even continue to intensify.
This wasn't a public knowledge like the later generations. It was because this era didn't give them any solutions, and this world didn't give them any hope.
When someone opened their mouth and said that they wanted to abolish everything, the conflict in their hearts was probably something that the future generations would never understand.
In this era, as long as it was for the people of this nation, there was no right or wrong. It was just that the world did not give them a chance.
I don't give them a choice but to go to the stage
"Sir is right. Our nation is great, and so is our country!”
"Mr. Jin Gu's words are so enlightening that we feel ashamed!”
"Hope, there is hope everywhere!”
"Sir, sir!"
"I, Chen Wangzhi, will remember your words in my heart!”
.....
As the voices continued to intertwine, almost everyone could not help but blush.
It was excitement.
It was as if he had been injected with stimulants.
Of course, no matter which era it was, some people were not among them.
This moment was no exception.
Amidst this red flush, some people still had their heads lowered.
Although most of the people in this world did it for the country and the people, it did not mean that everyone did it for the country and the people.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's words ignited the entire atmosphere.
Below.
Peking University's principal and the teachers heaved a sigh of relief.
They were really afraid that Jiang Chen would start a debate between the vernacular and classical Chinese.
It was mainly because there were too many people here.
Once the topic was relatively controversial, especially in the current situation where there was a lot of controversy, something might happen.
The current situation was undoubtedly the best.
Moreover, with the current narrative, even if a dispute between the vernacular and the ancient text was raised, it would not be too big of a deal.
Because Jiang Chen's speech was enough to capture the hearts of most people.
"Sir, I have something to say!”
Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.
Jiang Chen looked over. It was a young man wearing glasses.
"Please speak!"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, but he didn't stop him. Instead, he signaled for him to speak.
The other party did not hesitate to speak.
"Sir, you said that three thousand years ago, we were thinking about philosophy like the Chinese Chinese; Two thousand years ago, we fought like the romans; A thousand years ago we were as rich as the Arabs; I don't deny it, at least not completely, but you said that 5,000 years ago, we faced the same flood as the Chinese. 4,000 years ago, we were playing with bronze like the Babylonians. I have to raise an objection to this.”
The bespectacled young man spoke in a serious tone.
"Oh, do you have any objections?”
Jiang Chen suddenly understood what was going on.
"As everyone knows, although the history of China started with the Three Royals and Five Emperors, followed by the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, in fact, the real history of our country started with the first year of the Chinese uprising (841 AD). There were no written words in the Xia Dynasty, so it was impossible to record it. 4,000 years ago, we were playing with bronze bronze like the Babylonians. I don't agree with that. After all, myths can't be treated as history. I think the best civilization in this world is still the Aegean Sea civilization. The Aegean Sea civilization is centered on Knossos in the northern part of the island. As a civilization, the Aegean Sea civilization once made great contributions to science and technology, mathematics, medicine, philosophy, literature, drama, sculpture, painting, architecture, and so on. It helped the development of the Roman civilization in the future. It also laid the foundation for the current science and advancement of the West.”
The words of the bespectacled youth resounded throughout the auditorium, instantly causing the entire venue to fall silent.
In this era, although oracle bone inscriptions had been discovered, the Shang Dynasty had not been proven. Even the existence of the Shang Dynasty was considered to be forged by ancient China in the Western archaeology community. Naturally, they would not agree with the existence of the Xia Dynasty.
After all, even in the later generations, countless scholars were still denying the Xia Dynasty, let alone this era.
For a moment, the hall fell into a strange silence.
Some people's eyes were red as if they wanted to swallow the man with the eyes, while others looked depressed. The stimulants that had just been injected were instantly extinguished.
Looking at the smug young man and the silent students, Jiang Chen smiled and was ready to speak.
However, at this moment, a strong voice sounded.
"Ridiculous, simply ridiculous. You dare to deny the records of our ancestors? Whose bloodline is this? Who is your body? As for you saying that myths cannot be treated as history, then you openly treat the western Homerian epics as history. What are you saying?”
As the voice rang out, the crowd immediately made way for an old man to slowly walk over.
"Teacher!"
"Teacher!"
.....
Facing the old man, the students could not help but bow to show their respect.
"Teacher, you're wrong.”
"The Homerian Epic was written in the form of a six-foot dactyl, and it is a collection of the great achievements of ancient Greek oral literature. It was the greatest work of ancient Greece, and also the greatest work of Western literature. How could it be described as a myth? Moreover, it was much better than us having only written records.”
The bespectacled youth looked at Gu Hongming with some fear, but at this moment, he still braced himself and spoke.
"Teacher, no, I'm not your teacher. I, Gu Hongming, don't have a student like you. In this world, the western language is just a language, and my eastern language is just a nonsense.”
Gu Hongming opened his mouth coldly, and his figure also came to the front row.
The principal and the others quickly made way for him.
