Chapter 306 There is no love for no reason

Peiping is still the same as Peiping, but Lin Zixuan is no longer the Lin Zixuan he used to be. [Read]

This is because Lin Zixuan's fame has become bigger and has received more attention. The most obvious thing is the attitude of everyone towards him.

When Lin Zixuan first met Liang Qichao, he was scolded. Just like a teacher told a student, he explained a lot of principles and placed him and Xu Zhimo in the same position.

There is nothing wrong with doing this. He and Xu Zhimo are classmates and are juniors in front of Liang Qichao.

Regardless of whether the two sides have different ideas, etiquette cannot be abolished. Lessons that should be heard should still be heard. Respecting the elderly is a tradition of China.

This time, although Liang Qichao still said a lot of big truths, he was much more amiable and even asked Lin Zixuan's opinions from time to time, especially issues related to Western society.

At this time, Liang Qichao was over fifties, floating and falling for decades, and he felt a sense of vicissitudes of seeing through everything.

I remember that those of their group of people who wrote to the bus to write a letter to the beginning of reform and reform. They were the progressive young people and reformists of that era.

The times have changed, decades have passed, and in the eyes of today's progressive young people, Liang Qichao has become an absolute conservative.

In recent years, he has been running around Tianjin and Peking to promote traditional culture.

In 1918, Liang Qichao went to Europe for inspection. After more than a year of observation, he came to a conclusion that he believed that Western civilization had gone bankrupt and that saving the world would depend on Eastern civilization, and advocated the promotion of traditional culture with great efforts.

So he went from being a critic of the old world to an advocate of the old tradition.

In this regard, he and Lin Zixuan have a common understanding.

He is willing to use his own private book for Lin Zixuan. Whether it is printing, publishing or translation, he supports it as long as it promotes traditional culture.

Liang Qichao called Lin Zixuan over mainly because of the Soviet Union's problems.

He was a staunch anti-Russian faction. He was worried that Lin Zixuan would be too young and was assimilated by the Soviets on a trip to the Soviet Union. He gave some advice.

"I have lived for so many years and have understood one thing. None of the Westerners really help us, and they have selfish intentions. They always have to snatch something from us." Liang Qichao concluded, "Don't trust them, we still have to rely on ourselves."

Lin Zixuan nodded and agreed.

There is no love for no reason in this world, especially among countries, interests are the most important. Unfortunately, many people don’t understand it, or they pretend to be confused when they understand it in their hearts.

He and Xu Zhimo left.

After the debate on "alliance between Russia and Russia" before the New Year, Xu Zhimo became famous in the capital, but became an enemy in the minds of young people. Both the Crescent Society and the Modern Commentary School were criticized.

The cultural atmosphere in Peking is becoming increasingly radical, and the liberal argument he advocates is a bit out of place.

After the incident of the burning of the Morning Post newspaper, Xu Zhimo became much more calm and more restrained in his work, but he still insisted on his own opinions. He talked to Lin Zixuan about his experiences in the Soviet Union.

Xu Zhimo was worried that Lin Zixuan was deceived by the Soviets' visit. After returning, he promoted the success of the Soviet Union and misled the young people.

Now Lin Zixuan has a different position in the cultural world. His words are more important and can influence more people.

The more this happens, the more you should be careful in your words and actions.

Those who have hated Russia will have joined forces with Russia, and some people will also come to see Lin Zixuan.

This person is named Li Dazhao. He studied in Japan in his early years and studied in the Department of Political Science at Waseda University in Tokyo. After returning to China in 1916, he served as the director of the library and professor of economics at Peking University, becoming a member of the new culture.

He came into contact with the Soviet Revolution earlier and wrote articles such as "The Victory of the Common People".

It systematically expounds the significance of the October Revolution. It praises the victory of the October Revolution and clearly criticizes reformism.

He talked to Lin Zixuan about the significance of the Soviet Revolution to China, believing that China can only get rid of imperialist oppression by following the Soviet revolutionary path.

Lin Zixuan found that he had become the focus of win over both sides, and it seemed that this trip to the Soviet Union had special significance.

This doubled his pressure. He actually wanted to accompany Feng Chengcheng to walk around Peking and take a look and live a leisurely two-person world.

But, this idea is a bit extravagant.

When he and Feng Chengcheng came to the old place of Beiman Girls' School where she had been to attend, they were taken to give a speech by the school.

When he and Feng Chengcheng visited her former classmate's house together, Lin Zixuan undoubtedly became the protagonist.

He felt that he had stolen his wife's limelight, but Feng Chengcheng didn't care about it. Seeing that his husband was valued may be the happiest thing for his wife.

She also has a little vanity.

When they were in school in Peking, Liang Qichao and Hu Shi were the objects of their admiration.

Now seeing these people treat their husbands very well and talk freely, I feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction in my heart.

Those old sisters had different fates, some had a good time and some had a bad time, which made Feng Chengcheng feel that luck was so good that he was deeply moved, and he talked to Lin Zixuan for a long time.

Lin Zixuan couldn't help but think of the class reunion in later generations, and the various comparisons and shows off were unbearable to look at it.

The so-called class reunion is to exchange feelings, not to prove that it is more amazing than other students.

In comparison, the human touch of this era is stronger, not as philanthropic as later generations. The moral level of later generations is really hard to evaluate, and it can only be said that traditional culture has disappeared.

He met Zhou Zuoren and talked about publishing a collection of essays abroad.

With the publication of the first new literature series, he was confident. Although it was not successful, it had a great impact in China.

Many scholars want to get along with Lin Zixuan and be able to enjoy their glory abroad.

Therefore, this time, Lin Zixuan was quite strong and required all the translation work to be handed over to Wanxiang Bookstore. This was a worry that Lin Yutang would happen last time.

Wanxiang Bookstore is going to set up a compilation office to recruit translation elites. This batch of books happens to be used as test questions to test the translator's level.

The relationship between Lin Zixuan and the Zhou brothers is getting more and more distant, not only because of the conflict with the third son Zhou Jianren, but also because of the debate between "Reviews" and "Yu Si".

"Yu Si" is the territory of the Zhou brothers. "Modern Review" was published by Wanxiang Bookstore and was finally finalized by Lin Zixuan.

Both magazines are important publications of new literature. The debate between them not only includes personal contradictions, but also differences in literary concepts and political views.

Neither Yusi nor Modern Review are revolutionary literature.

"Yu Si" advocates: "Talk at will without any scruples. We should urge new things to be produced. We should try our best to attack old and old things that are harmful to new things."

Modern Review declares: "The spirit of this magazine is independent and does not advocate echo; the attitude of this magazine is research, and does not emphasize criticism; the speech of this magazine focuses on practical issues and does not emphasize empty talk."

Both actually advocate a creative attitude of "freedom" and "independence", which is a debate between intellectuals.
