Chapter 231: Becoming a Father

This is the office of Qu Qiubai, director of the Department of Sociology at Shanghai University, with five people in it...≦...≦

Including Qu Qiubai, Xiang Jingyu's husband Cai Hesen, Liu Hua, Deng Zhongxia and the Hunan native who had just spoken.

In the eyes of these people, Lin Zixuan is a rich young master who does not know the sufferings of the people. He wrote either entertainment and entertainment martial arts novels or Western novels that reflect American life.

Lin Zixuan's usual remarks also represent the interests of the bourgeoisie. He also signed the "good governmentalism" proposed by Hu Shi, and has long been classified as the bourgeois reformists.

"He promised to help with publicity, but he would not participate in the strike." Xiang Jingyu replied.

"That's natural, capitalists, how could they oppose themselves?" Liu Hua said sarcastically.

Liu Hua was from Yibin, Sichuan. His family was a tenant farmer. He was born in poverty. In 1920, he went to Shanghai and worked as an apprentice at the Zhonghua Book Company Printing Office. In 2019, he entered the Affiliated Middle School of Shanghai University to study in part-time.

"What a pity. He has a lot of publicity tools in his hands. The radio station can play a huge role. If he can lean towards us, he will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort." Qu Qiubai said regretfully.

"Mr. Lin taught a writing course at Shanghai University for one semester, and I worked with him." Zheng Zhongxia recalled, "He seemed to be intentionally hiding from politics and just wanted to be a simple literati."

"I'm afraid it may not be. Three years after he returned to China, he founded a bookstore, filmed movies, and wrote books. His reputation became more and more powerful and his influence became greater. He put forward new proposals in Peking a few days ago. This is not something that a simple literati would do." Cai Hesen guessed.

"I have read this gentleman's claim, the 'third way', is he trying to take a neutral route." The man with a Hunan accent thought, "But in today's China, his path cannot be understood, so we must stick to our own path."

The discussion about Lin Zixuan ended here, and they talked about other things.

Since 1924, Shanghai University has opened a volunteer night school for civilians and also opened a tutoring school in the yarn mill in western Shanghai.

Go deep into the factory and spread your ideas among the workers of the yarn mill. Create conditions for the strike.

A strike is a systematic project, not just yelling a few slogans. It requires sufficient preparation. Hasteful action will only fail.

Shanghai's textile industry has the most female workers. They are most exploited and are easier to convince, but how to ensure a tens of thousands of female workers is a requirement for excellent appeal and organizational ability.

Strike is a process of game.

Once the strike is on, the female worker will not have any income. The family still needs money to live, and it cannot last long. If you can persist in a week, you may not be able to persist in a month.

How to solve the worries of female workers and appease the emotions of female workers are issues that require careful study.

The general method is to organize mutual aid associations, and female workers help each other and overcome difficulties together.

A relief fund will also be raised to provide relief to female workers in particular difficulties, so that people can calm down their hearts. Otherwise, people's hearts will be uneven, which is the biggest reason for the failure of the strike.

This is an internal strategy.

On the outside, we must strive for strong publicity from the media, gain widespread support from all walks of life, and put pressure on factory owners.

We must also be wary of counterattack and suppression by factory owners and concession authorities.

A successful strike requires careful investigation in advance, sufficient preparation, perfect negotiation strategies and determination to sacrifice.

Xiang Jingyu and Cai Hesen had this experience while studying in France, and the French had a tradition of strike.

The meeting ended and each left.

Xiang Jingyu and his wife returned to No. 318 Jiaxiuli, Muerming Road, Public Concession, with the man with a Hunan accent, which is a typical Shanghai Shikumen building.

They are neighbors and claim to be a family.

At the same time, Tagore and Xu Zhimo returned to Shanghai.

Before this, Tagore also went to Shanxi to discuss philosophical topics with Shanxi warlord Yan Xidan.

Compared to the sensation when Tagore came to Shanghai, his departure seemed much dim. Overall, this was not a successful visit, and he accidentally participated in the disputes in the Chinese ideological circle.

After Lin Zixuan left Peking, Tagore's speech in Peking did not go smoothly and was obstructed by many young students.

For this reason, Xu Zhimo was extremely angry and unwilling to translate the remarks of those young people.

Hu Shize stood up, spoke up for justice, scolded the young man for his rude behavior, and replaced Xu Zhimo to continue translating for Tagore.

Although he did not agree with Tagore's point of view, he would not rush to drive people like a young man, at least he should do his best to do his best to the landlords.

Perhaps Zhou Zuoren's view is relatively calm.

On May 14, Zhou Zuoren published an article ""Adult Harm" and Others" in the supplement of the Morning Post, declaring that he "had no joining in both opposition and welcome" about Tagore's visit to China and his speech.

Because he felt that the welcome of landlords' friendship was right.

It would be inappropriate to borrow his old man's signature to sell metaphysics. As for those who support science, they are a little nervous, although they are acknowledged.

The right and wrong surrounding Tagore's visit to China finally came to an end.

On May 30, 1924, Tagore left Shanghai and turned to Japan and returned to India.

Xu Zhimo accompanied Tagore to Japan and sent the Indian poet to Hong Kong. When Xu Zhimo asked Tagore if he had anything left behind.

"I put my heart in China," Tagore said.

However, Chen Duxiu did not give up the attack because of Tagore's departure, and he began to settle accounts after the autumn.

On June 1, he published an article under the pseudonym "Send Tagore and Comfort the Failed All the Guests", comparing Hu Shi and Lin Zixuan with Zhang Junyi, Xu Zhimo and others.

He scolded scholars who entertained Tagore in China, especially Hu Shi, who believed that Hu Shi's position was not firm.

This may be the beginning of the breakup between two new literary enlighteners.

Lin Zixuan had no idea about Chen Duxiu criticizing him, and he didn't even have the idea of ​​counterattacking, because there was no need for Tagore to leave, so the Chinese should do whatever they should do.

History will make a fair evaluation of what is happening today.

His focus is on Feng Chengcheng now, he doesn't pay much attention to external affairs and is too lazy to talk. He only knows when a friend comes to visit.

June is Feng Chengcheng's due date, and the family is quite quarrel about whether to invite a midwife to deliver a baby or to give birth in the hospital.

Although the medical level of Shanghai hospitals is worrying in this era, Lin Zixuan still believes that the hospital and midwife feels too unreliable. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to send it to the hospital.

So since June, Feng Chengcheng has lived in Guangci Hospital in the French Concession.

This is a hospital founded by the French Catholic Church and is very famous in Shanghai, which is the later Shanghai Ruijin Hospital.

On June 7, Feng Chengcheng was pushed into the delivery room.

Lin Zixuan was waiting outside the delivery room, while Lin Boqing and Feng Jingyao were also sitting on the chairs waiting anxiously. Feng Jingyao's subordinates were patrolling in the hospital, which attracted many people's attention.

It seemed that not long after, and it seemed that after a long time, Lin Zixuan heard the cry of a baby from the delivery room.

His heart finally fell down. (To be continued.)
