Due to Hu Shi's reputation in the Chinese cultural circle, these disclosed letters rekindled the debate on the attitude towards the Soviet Union.

The debates in the Chinese literary world are coming one by one.

Xu Zhimo started a big discussion on "alliance between Russia and Russia" in the Morning Post, ending with the burning of the Morning Post Office.

Lin Zixuan wrote about his experiences in the Soviet Union, Moscow did not believe in tears, and it took two months to argue.

This has a timely problem, and even a famous scholar cannot keep a topic going.

Basically, it's the beginning, the development, and the end.

After all, there are many other hot topics in Chinese society, and readers will also experience reading fatigue.

Just like the media in later generations cannot make a person make headlines every day, and they always have to change new tricks to give the audience a sense of freshness.

If Hu Shi also criticized the Soviet Union, it would not have much impact, because everyone had said everything they should have said, and there was no need to repeat it.

But this time Hu Shi actually praised the Soviet Union, believing that the Soviet revolution was a great social experiment, and also expressed such feelings as "How can our nation, who is drunk and dreaming, criticizes the Soviet Union!"

This makes people very curious.

Like Xu Zhimo and Lin Zixuan, Hu Shi studied in the United States and advocated liberalism.

Logically speaking, these three people have the same values ​​and should have the same views on the Soviet Union. Unexpectedly, Hu Shi and the other two came to completely different conclusions.

Who said the three of them was true? What did the real Soviet Union look like?

This is what attracts readers.

Hu Shi's letters became a weapon for many people to attack Lin Zixuan.

They criticized Lin Zixuan for having prejudice against the Soviet Union, only talking about the bad side of the Soviet Union, without mentioning the achievements of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union overthrew imperialism, which alone was better than China.

Some people also think that Lin Zixuan is worried that once China embarked on the path of the Soviet Union, he would become the target of being defeated, so he maliciously distorted the facts and smeared the Soviet Union.

They denounced a capitalist's qualifications to criticize the Soviet Union.

Lin Zixuan looked at Hu Shi's letter and felt that Hu Shi must have been fooled by the Soviets.

What can you see in Moscow in three days, and see where Hu Shi went. Revolutionary Museum and Prison, which were the visits arranged by the Soviet authorities for foreigners who came to the Soviet Union.

The strangest thing is that Hu Shi actually thought that the Soviet education was good by looking at the materials on Soviet education.

He neither went to the school to conduct field visits nor had he contacted people from the Soviet education industry. He was so arbitrary, he did not look like a rigorous scholar, but more like he was in a state of excitement in Moscow.

This is not the first time Hu Shi has done this. His life can be said to be a process of being constantly slapped in the face.

In 1922, Hu Shi enthusiastically proposed "good governmentalism".

As a result, the "good people government" established became a tool for warlords to control it. It ended after only 73 days of existence.

He also ran to the palace to meet the last emperor Fu Yi, and he was very sympathetic to Fu Yi's experience, and wrote an article for this to make Fu Yi feel unfair.

Later, Fu Yi defected to the Japanese and established the puppet Manchukuo.

In 1922, during the confrontation between Sun Zhongshan and Chen Jiongming, Hu Shi criticized Sun Zhongshan and called Chen Jiongming's rebellion a revolution.

This incident made Sun Zhongshan feel uneasy.

Two years later, the editor of Guangzhou National Daily used Hu Shi's words to explain when compiling Sun Zhongshan's article. Sun Zhongshan personally approved the document "The Central Executive Committee removed this reporter, thinking that it was one of the things that improved our newspaper."

This shows that Sun Zhongshan’s resentment towards Hu Shi.

Hu Shi also supported Duan Qirui's aftermath meeting, but Duan Qirui stepped down in a panic due to the "March 18th" tragedy.

He now began to praise the Soviet Union, and by 1948, he said that the Soviet Union had become a terrible force of aggression.

Lin Zixuan recalled that in terms of standing in the team, Hu Shi often stood on the side of the villain in his life. If it weren't for his fame, he would have been killed long ago.

This can also be regarded as a compliment, which shows that Hu Shi has been insisting on what he thinks is right.

After a few months, Hu Shi arrived in the United States and gradually woke up.

He also advocated the American social system: "There will not be social revolution in the United States, because the United States is in social revolution every day. This kind of revolution is gradual and progress every day, so it is a revolution every day."

He was sober. However, the European Travel Road he wrote has caused great controversy in the Chinese ideological circle.

Xu Zhimo advised Hu Shi in the morning newspaper. Many Hu Shi's friends also felt that Hu Shi's political tendency was too abrupt and difficult to understand.

Lin Zixuan believed that Hu Shi was deceived by the Soviet Union and hoped that Hu Shi could make a judgment after he truly understood.

How to view the Soviet Union is a topic that will never be debated in this era.

By 1948, a similar debate still broke out.

This shows that Chinese intellectuals’ concerns about the fate of the country are related to China’s future.

Interestingly, Hu Shi passed by Japan on his way from the United States the next year and visited Dr. Tokusa Fukuda, a famous Japanese Marxist economist.

This person has just come from Europe and his ideas have changed.

Hu Shi asked him why he didn't go to the United States to see it. Fukuda Tokuzo said: "I dare not go to the United States, I am afraid that when I arrive in the United States, I will completely overturn my doctrine."

Lin Zixuan was attacked and was in a bad mood, so he decided to continue his career to "smear" the Soviet Union.

Since you think I have smeared the Soviet Union, I will smeared it seriously once.

He originally wanted to put aside the writing of 1984, but he was not in a hurry anyway, so it would not be too late to talk when he had free time.

But who was so excited that he could still squeeze out the time to copy a novel, which was less than 300,000 words.

1984 The story was born in the future world. In 1984, the world was divided by three major powers.

They are Oceania, Eurasian and East Asian countries. The three countries are constantly wars, the internal social structures of the country have been completely broken, and all of them have highly centralized rule.

Use extreme means such as changing history, changing language, and breaking the family to suppress people's thoughts and instincts.

Use a "tv screen" with monitoring and listening functions to control people's behavior, and maintain the operation of society with the cult of personality towards leaders and hatred of enemies at home and abroad.

Because Orwell was British, he set the story on a country similar to Britain, that is, Oceania.

The name of the person in the country is also the name of the British, and the only party in Oceania is called English Socialism.

It is said that this is alluded to the Fabian Society in the UK, which is the socialist group that Shaw participated in. The Fabian Society was founded in 1884, and 1984 was the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Fabian Society.

So, the whole story looks like a Soviet template story born in Britain.

Lin Zixuan did not intend to copy it. Since he was slandering the Soviet Union, he would do it thoroughly.

He changed the names of people and party names in the story to the Soviet Union, making the whole story look like he was born in the Soviet Union.

He actually wanted to change his name to 1991, which happened to be the collapse of the Soviet Union that year.

But it would be too fantastic to do this. It would make people feel that this book has the function of cursing, so it would be better to be low-key. (To be continued.)
