Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Huo Ying was thinking about the bright future after expanding his business, when he suddenly heard his younger brother say this, he was startled: "Yun An, have you thought about it? Do you plan to be with Mu Qiong for the rest of your life?"

He was very satisfied with Mu Qiong, and felt that it was good that his younger brother chose Mu Qiong, who was educated, good-looking and had no messy relationship experience, but his younger brother said so...is this a plan?

Huo Ying suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"I've made up my mind." Fu Yun'an said: "As long as he doesn't betray me or leave me, I will always be with him."

Huo Ying noticed that when his younger brother said this, his eyes seemed to be shining, and his whole body was much softer.

After his brother realized his sexuality many years ago, he became more and more calm.He hadn't seen such a light in his eyes for many years.

"I'll write to the old man right away," Huo Ying said.

"I'll write this letter, second brother, you can just copy it once." Fu Yun'an said, his father is not a good-tempered person, if he were to know about Mu Qiong's existence, he might find trouble with Mu Qiong.

So, I can only say that I like men first.As for how to say this...

"What do you want to write?" Huo Ying asked. He himself was impatient to write these things, and it would be great if his younger brother was willing to write.

Fu Yun'an took out a piece of paper and swiped a pen: "Old man, I plan to stay in Shanghai and not go back! By the way, I have something to tell you, Yun'an likes men."

Fu Yun'an wrote the characters with a brush. After finishing writing, he put away the pen and said, "That's it."

"Okay, that's it!" Huo Ying said, this letter was written by him, and the tone was exactly like him!

It was very late, Fu Yunan finished writing and left. When Fu Yunan left, Huo Ying took the letter paper written by Fu Yunan, but instead of copying it, he added something: "Old man, I plan to stay in Shanghai and not go back ! By the way, there is one more thing to tell you, Yunan and I both like men, we will not marry women, don't rush!"

He is one year older than Fu Yun'an, and is now in his twenties. Since returning to China three years ago, his parents have been forcing him to get married.

But he doesn't want to get married at all.

He always remembered how his mother gave up on him, and how his mother did nothing but cry abroad... He was really not interested in getting married.

In contrast, it is still more interesting to make money.

Of course, he wrote this mainly to share the pressure for his younger brother.

After receiving such a letter, the old man would definitely scold him first.

Huo Ying folded the letter, put it in an envelope, and asked someone to take the letter back.

Of course, what these people brought back was not only this letter, but also some things produced by his factory, as well as hundreds of monthly educational magazines.

The younger sister-in-law's career must be supported.

Huo Ying went to bed very late that day, but got up early the next morning, then asked someone to tie a bandage on his head carefully, and took a car to a big hotel on the next street.

This hotel is the best hotel in Shanghai that has just been built. Not to mention electricity and running water, there are also dry facilities such as flush toilets, and the rooms are covered with carpets.

Huo Ying came to a certain room, where he met a British businessman who wanted to buy [-] pieces of military uniforms.

Huo Ying's English is about the same level as his Mandarin.He didn't recognize some uncommon words, but he spoke them very well.

Accompanying Huo Ying was Zhou Nianxiang, the editor-in-chief of the Hope Monthly. Zhou Nianxiang's English and Chinese are not only very good, but he is also proficient in French, which is also a talent.

But Huo Ying didn't use him, and chatted with the British businessman himself.

If Huo Ying is willing, he can make himself very elegant, and his fluent English is very easy to get the favor of others... The business negotiation went very smoothly.

It's just...he probably won't make much money.

These British people asked to use wool to make military uniforms, which is light and warm, but his factory is not yet able to produce wool... It will cost a lot of money to buy machines in the early stage.

Fortunately, he has connections, and the machine business is already underway. In the future, with the machine, he can produce more wool, and he will definitely make a lot of money.

Suffering the bold and starving the timid to death, Huo Ying signed the contract directly, and then went to his own factory.

When he went to Japan to buy machines before, he also found some workers who were capable of making machines from Japan.

At this time in Japan, the life of the people at the bottom is not much better than that of the people in their country. After giving enough benefits, there are still some people who are willing to come to China.

They did not live in Huo Ying's factory, but were placed elsewhere by Huo Ying. Now, they have made some simple machines for Huo Ying one after another.

Huo Ying asked them to try to make a machine that could produce woolen, and then asked people to recruit workers and buy woolen materials.

Huo Ying's work here is in full swing, and the Japanese in Shanghai are still very angry now.

Since the victory of the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], they have not taken China seriously.

After forcing China to sign 21 articles last year and occupying Shandong, China has become a dish that can be eaten at any time in their eyes.

How could they be willing to give up after suffering a big loss under such circumstances?

Doihara Shiro contacted the country and vowed to teach the Chinese people some lessons.

At this time, more and more people knew about the Lushun Massacre.

Beijing.

Beijing and Shanghai are far apart, so it takes many days for a single trip by train, and it takes ten days at the fastest to send a letter.

Now, of course, there was faster and better telegraphy, but it was very expensive, and ordinary people would not use it unless they had a life-threatening event.

Some people in Beijing knew about the conflict between Huo Ying and the Japanese in Shanghai right away, and they also knew about the massacre in Lushun early on.

But because they didn't publicize it, the vast majority of people in Beijing don't actually know about it.

Even the newspapers in Beijing did not publish this matter because of the government's greeting.

When newspapers in Hangzhou, Nanjing and other places were full of related articles, Beijing was still very calm.

Beijing University.

At this time, Peking University was the best school in the country, and it was a symbol of freedom. Many subsequent revolutionaries were trained by this university.

And at the moment, some Peking University students are reading books and newspapers.

While reading it, someone said, "It's been a month since we bought the Hope Monthly last time. Is the new Hope Monthly coming soon?"

"Should be. I love the story of Contagion and can't wait to see the rest."

"The author of this novel is full of prejudice against Japan between the lines. I think we should not read this kind of book."

"Japan has occupied many parts of our country and has prejudice against this country, which is perfectly normal."

……

Everyone started discussing, and suddenly someone said: "I got a piece of news, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"What news?" Someone asked.

"I heard that the Japanese committed a massacre in Lushun," the man said.

People around heard the words and asked questions one after another.

Similar conversations happened in many places.

The Beijing government initially wanted to reconcile Huo Ying with the Japanese, but unfortunately it failed.And when the Lushun massacre was exposed later... Under the persecution of the Japanese, they did not dare to publicize it.

It's a pity that these news are not suppressed by the government if they want to.

In Beijing, there are also publications like Xincheng Monthly that are not for making money, but for revolution or other reasons.

A few days ago, they did not confirm the existence of the Lushun massacre, so they dared not publish it indiscriminately, but now, they have confirmed it.

The two newspapers also had a weekly magazine, which simultaneously published the Lushun Massacre.

And with their start, more and more newspapers began to publish news related to the massacre, and some even published some false news, such as Huo Ying being retaliated by the Japanese and already seriously injured and dying.

Beijing is the place with the richest cultural atmosphere in the country. There are a lot of students in Beijing. Many famous literati or masters in later generations lived in Beijing at this time, and many of them were still teaching in universities such as Peking University.

Upon hearing the news, these people were in an uproar.

At the same time, Cai Songshan, a newspaper vendor, came to Beijing with many hopeful monthly newspapers.

After the new issue of Hope Monthly in Shanghai was published, Cai Songshan immediately came to Beijing with Qichen.

Telegrams could not be received on the train, so he had no idea that there was a commotion in Shanghai.

He only knew that when he first arrived in Beijing, he was surrounded by people, and then the Monthly Hope Newsletter in his hand was sold out, and the last ones were sold at a high price.

Everyone already knows by now that the source of the troubles in Shanghai is the book "Contagion", and this book was published in the Hope Monthly.

That being the case, they must have a look.

And after reading it...many people suspected that this Tianxing belonged to Huo Ershao, and he wrote the article "Contagion" because he knew about the numerous crimes Japan committed in their country!

Tianxing and Huo Ershao became very famous in Beijing.

Mu Yongxue's residence, Mu Yongxue is reading "Hope Monthly".

Many people outside thought that "Contagion" was written happily, but Mu Yongxue was very dissatisfied with this book.

"If it wasn't for this incident that happened more than 20 years ago, those students might have already organized demonstrations!" Mu Yongxue said to his wife: "It has been so long, and Huo Ying wants to dig it out." , I don’t know what I’m thinking!”

"Isn't it just for grandstanding?" Lu Qitong said.There is no war that does not kill people. She thinks that the Japanese kill people for a reason. How can they blame the Japanese one-sidedly?

"The Japanese side is very unhappy now, and we may be required to pay compensation at that time... Why can't those people be more peaceful?" Mu Yongxue sighed again.

Mu Yongxue and his wife were very dissatisfied with Huo Ying. After chatting, Mu Yongxue said: "The government has already planned to find someone to go to Shanghai. I will apply for it at that time and follow along."
