"Liu Zhilin?"
Hearing this name, Elder Zhao and Director Hu were confused.
"Who is Liu Zhilin?" Elder Zhao asked with a frown.”
"He's just an ordinary person."
Director Sun took a deep breath and slowly said,""He isn't tall, and his skin is dark. He wouldn't stand out in a crowd.”
"But he is not an ordinary person!”
" He's Huaxia's hero!"
Elder Zhao and Director Hu were stunned. Why was Director Sun keeping them in suspense?
Deputy Station Head Liu and the others looked at Lin Yi in a daze. When the words " Liu Zhilin " rang out, they seemed to see the figure of an old man. It was the tired figure who had been running around in the dark era of No. 19.
"In the past, when the mountains and rivers were broken and the wind was blowing, in the land of China that was full of decay and defeat, the national enterprises also fell into a complete low.”
"With his own strength, he actively responded to China's call and traveled everywhere to save the country!”
"A match lit up the whole country!”
"We have also reestablished the pillar of our nation.”
Lin Yi's voice slowly rang out,"He's China's Match King, Liu Zhilin!"”
Lin Yi's calm voice was like a heavy blow that ruthlessly smashed into everyone's hearts.
That dark era was a shadow in the hearts of all Chinese people in modern times.
It was also a pain that pierced through the bones of all the Chinese people!
After a hundred years of suffering, China had long since escaped from that tragic era and became a world power.
However, this humiliating history could not be forgotten.
It was precisely because of this painful history that the Chinese people were alarmed and constantly striving for self-improvement!
Only because…
History would not repeat itself!
Only because…
The humiliation was no longer there!
No one noticed that under Chief Sun's calm surface, a tsunami had already been set off. No one knew better than him the far-reaching significance of Lin Yi's conversation.
It seemed that Lin Yi was talking to an ordinary person this time, just a match king who saved the country through industry.
However, was Lin Yi really talking to Liu Zhilin?
No!
He was talking to everyone who had contributed to that era!
In that stormy era, there were countless people like Liu Zhilin who fearlessly ran around in times of danger just to make China rise!
How could Liu Zhilin alone be able to represent the emotions and will contained within?
However, this was a little risky.
Could that era really be described with a simple conversation?
Moreover, that era…was too dark.
Everyone fell silent after hearing Lin Yi's words.
Director Hu and Elder Zhao also fell silent. They had devoted their entire lives to studying history, so how could they forget that dark era? It was just that they were unwilling to mention it. It was not the sorrow of the Chongzhen Era, nor the heroism of Ying Zheng's era, but more of a heavy one!
It surpassed the death of 100,000 Jiangyin citizens and the death of Chongzhen!
A heavy atmosphere filled the entire meeting room.
Everyone's reaction was also within Lin Yi's expectations. This was also why he chose to use this method to introduce the candidates for the third episode.
Because this era was too heavy and too depressing.
If he said it directly, he would definitely face the strong rebuttal of Director Sun and the others.
However, if he did not go to that era and see those who saved the country, he would not be able to do so.
Lin Yi was unwilling!
He raised his head and looked at the crowd. His tone was heavy."Now, our country has completely risen to the top of the world. All kinds of industries and technologies have surpassed the imagination of our predecessors.”
"However, those people who fought for such a golden age will never be able to see it in their entire lives.”
"I want them to see the brilliance of the future. I want to ask them if their sacrifice was worth it?”
"I want to ask them if they are gratified to see the future like this!”
"This conversation is not only with Liu Zhilin, but also with all the heroes of that era.”
Lin Yi took out a piece of A4 paper from his pocket and slowly unfolded it.
He faced the crowd.
Everyone looked at the paper. On the paper was a printed photo. The photo was not very clear, but they could vaguely see the determination in the young man's eyes. They could also see the vicissitudes and fatigue on his face.
The background was Beiping!
"This was when Liu Zhilin had just established the match factory. At that time, the whole country was in chaos and the earth was sinking. Only Liu Zhilin was fearless and rooted in Beiping, just to build the factory and contribute to China.”
"A match might be very small, and it was even more inconspicuous in that era.”
"But this match brings light!”
" He illuminated the direction of everyone's hearts and shocked countless businessmen. Saving the country through industry has completely awakened at this moment, and it's not just empty talk.”
" These merchants might not have the strength to even tie a chicken and could not enter the battlefield, but they have made countless contributions to China. These contributions are invisible and undetectable, but they are irreplaceable.”
"It was precisely because of their existence and their dedication that China was able to ensure that the soldiers had cotton clothes to wear and that the weapons had vehicles to transport them during that difficult period.”
Lin Yi's voice was extremely calm, as if he was just narrating an irrelevant story.
However…
Everyone's hearts were instantly stung.
Especially Elder Zhao and Director Hu, who unconsciously clenched their fists.
Liu Zhilin's deeds might not be very dazzling in modern times, but they could also be considered the pride of China.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
It was the 19th year!
In that special era, there was no strong motherland to support them.
Even China was humiliated.
Liu Zhilin dared to give up everything to save the country through industry. This undoubtedly required great courage!
" Liu Zhilin once said that as long as I have a conscience and my blood is still flowing, how can I forget my motherland and work for the puppet country? Throughout his life, even in the most tragic times, he insisted on not colluding with the puppet countries. Even in the most difficult times, he was able to maintain his original heart, donate everything to China, and persist in national industry.”
"It was also because of his persistence that he was kidnapped and assassinated in the end.”
Lin Yi raised his head and his voice gradually became louder.
"But his spirit has been passed down from generation to generation!”
"I want to go to that era to see him!”
"I want to tell him that what he couldn't do, the future generations have done it for him. I also want to tell him that China has become stronger!”
"I want to tell him that he doesn't need to fight alone in a hundred years!”
"Because we have a prosperous and powerful country supporting us. We have billions of Chinese people behind us, giving us strength!”
The meeting room was silent, and only Lin Yi's voice echoed for a long time.
It echoed in everyone's hearts.
Everyone clenched their fists tightly, their faces flushed with excitement.
Lin Yi had only said a few words, but he had already stirred up their emotions. What else were they dissatisfied with?
"Pa!"
Elder Zhao slammed the table and stood up. This character is well chosen!"
He looked at Lin Yi with burning eyes.
"When is the next episode going to air?”
