"At 9:30 a.m. on June 7, 1955, Li Zicheng drove from the Guest House to the National Assembly. At about 0:00, Li Zicheng was sworn in at the National Assembly.//www.//Very subsequently, Prime Minister Li Zicheng delivered a speech of about 5 minutes.

His inaugural speech set the tone for his future governance: change and rejuvenation.

Change and renewal!

This is not only the policy tone of a government, but also the tone of a country and an era.

Any observer of Eastern issues should see that when that voice spread along the radio waves to the whole of China and to all parts of Southeast Asia, this ancient country had already set off a revolution, and more importantly, just as Li Zi

Just like the call answered by Prime Minister Cheng, everyone in this land responds to the call of the nation in their own way.

In this transformation, every citizen of this country has embarked on a journey, perhaps in different ways, but the goal is the same - the revitalization of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation!

Until now, some people regard the inaugural speech on June 7 as the "Thunder of East Asia", but looking back on history, I agree that it was the first cry of a nation after its "rebirth".

1936 "The Call of the Times" Lippmann's "Today and Tomorrow" column in the New York Herald Tribune

When he woke up from his hazy state of consciousness, the woman had already woken up. As before, she was holding a bowl, drinking boiled water provided by the train, and eating fried noodles.

This woman came from Tongguan. She caught Song Chengjie's attention as soon as she arrived. The first impression she gave people was that she had dark skin, and she looked like a girl from the countryside. Song Chengjie sat down on the train from Baoji Station, which was a thousand miles away.

Although the train addiction is satisfying, it makes people feel a little tired.

As the train gradually approached Lianyungang, the woman's complexion became fairer in Song Chengjie's eyes. Perhaps because she was far away from home, and the more people he visited in the train, he unknowingly felt sad about being far away from his hometown.

Therefore, this woman from Tongerche made him feel a sense of intimacy.

At this time, in Song Chengjie's opinion, this woman in denim clothes looked a bit like Achun from his hometown in Dongtou. Before leaving his hometown, he only thought that Achun was a disgusting woman. There was no such shrewd woman around him.

It makes people feel a little lucky. But now that I think about it, people like Achun are not disgusting. They are fierce and aggressive, but they are much more generous.

Judging from her face alone, the woman in front of her is much more beautiful. Her tightly pursed lips, watery eyes, and forehead are not as wide as Ah Chun's, which makes her look very comfortable. Therefore, Song Chengjie looks at her every three or four minutes.

He had to raise his eyes to look at this woman. Sometimes, their eyes would meet unexpectedly. During the next journey, he would stare at the woman's appearance intently for a long time.

However, although he was looking at this woman, Song Chengjie did not say a word to this woman who looked very Zhou Zheng along the way. He only looked at each other occasionally.

Maybe she is going to Lianyungang too!

Going to Lianyungang, after the Longhai Railway was built, factories have sprung up in the stations along the railway. For the people of Shaanxi, it was the first time they saw the appearance of a train.

Cars, the first time they saw a modern factory, and the first time they realized how wonderful the outside world is...

Like many young people who might have had to face the earth with their backs to the sky for the rest of their lives, Song Chengjie, who had a large family but little land, gave his mother a head and left his hometown with the twelve yuan that his elder brother exchanged for food.

, at the beginning, he was doing part-time work at Baoji Station. However, he was smart and had a broad vision, but he started night school while doing part-time work. After getting his junior high school diploma in just half a year, he was not like other people.

, stay at Baoji Station, but choose the train to go to Lianyun, which is a "big city" that only exists in pictures.

It was getting dark, and the electric light on the roof of the carriage was turned on. Song Chengjie's stomach also started to growl. He took out the lunch box he bought at the previous stop and ate it. The lunch box was packed in an oil paper box. The rice was very simple, with red sorghum rice and some radishes.

Sticks, potatoes, but there were two slices of pork belly in the middle, which tasted very rustic. He had already eaten half of the meal. In order to save money, he only ate one box of this at a glance, and that one cost a dime.

About two minutes after the train left a small station, the woman stood up, walked past Song Chengjie, and walked out of the carriage. At this time, the color of the woman's belt came into Song Chengjie's eyes. Song Chengjie was eating sorghum in his mouth.

Mi, watching the woman's back. As he kept eating, he thought that she might be from the toilet. After a while, when the woman came back, Song Chengjie's lunch box was almost at the bottom. He lowered his head and used chopsticks to pull it hard.

After two or three mouthfuls, the woman seemed to have not returned to her original seat.

"She might..."

Song Chengjie thought, and suddenly raised his head and saw that the woman was standing opposite. Just when Song Cheng raised his eyes and looked around, the woman took another step. She walked past Song Chengjie, but did not return to her seat.

He continued to take two steps forward, turned sideways, stuck his head out of the car window, and looked out quietly.

The wind when the train started blew violently into the carriage, and the woman's disheveled hair on the temples caught Song Chengjie's attention. At this time, Song Chengjie threw the leftover empty box hard out of the window. The window where the woman was sitting was the same as the window next to Song Chengjie.

Next door, there was only a row of seats in the middle. He saw the slate-colored lunch box lid that had been thrown into the wind and floated back with the wind, and thought, this is bad. He couldn't help but look at the woman's face, that

Her face just stretched out the window; the woman retracted silently and wiped her forehead carefully with a printed handkerchief. Song Chengjie thought that it would be safer to apologize proactively.

"sorry."

"It doesn't matter."

the woman replied.

She was still wiping her face. Song Chengjie had no choice but to remain silent, and the woman said nothing, and she stuck her head out the window again. Three or four passengers looked sleepy in the dim light. No one spoke, and only the loud noise of the train was heard.

The roar of the car drove forward. Song Chengjie closed his eyes.

After a while, Song Chengjie heard the woman ask:

"Almost to Lianyungang?"

When he saw it, she had already turned towards him, stretched her waist, and put her face next to Song Chengjie. Song Chengjie was surprised.

"This" Song Chengjie responded. It was his first time going to Lianyungang and he didn't know anything.

"Are you also getting off at Lianyungang?..."

"Well, get off the car."

This train only ran to Lianyungang, and there was the sea in front of it, so it was natural to have such a conversation. The woman had been sitting diagonally opposite Song Chengjie, and for a long time, all she could hear was the roar of the fire.

When the train stopped at the next station, the woman finally spoke again. She wanted to trouble Song Chengjie with something. She said that after arriving in Lianyungang, she wanted to ask him to help find a hotel. The woman insisted on asking him to help her find a hotel. Song Chengjie also felt that this was the case.

Yes, but he didn't want to agree. After all, he and this woman were strangers, which made it difficult for him to make a choice. However, he didn't have the courage to refuse outright, so he had to deal with it hesitantly for a while.

Now, the train has arrived in Lianyungang.

When the announcement came from the train that the train had arrived in Lianyungang, the people in the carriage started to move. Like many people, Song Chengjie was only carrying a not too big rucksack. It was the bag he bought at Baoji Station, which was much less labor-intensive than a cloth bag.

, carrying a large backpack, and exited the ticket gate.

The woman followed him and walked out of the central train station along the passage. Although it was already ten o'clock, because it was summer, the street was still as lively as when it was just dark, and the buildings on the street were as tall as Song Chengjie.

It was just a moment of dizziness. He looked at the brightly lit domestic exhibition hall and thought only about how people could live in such a high place.

Finally, after leaving the train station and walking through a few intersections, there were two or three hotels in front of him. However, in Song Chengjie's opinion, they were too luxurious, so he had to pass by these brightly lit three-story buildings quietly and then take a stroll.

Moving forward. Where to go in this unfamiliar place? Of course he had no idea, he just wandered blindly in this city.

The woman followed him without saying a word. After a while, she walked to a relatively quiet cross street and saw a "hotel" sign hanging on the door of the second house. This was a sign that was not very conspicuous. It seemed that this was the place.

It was suitable for both Song Chengjie and the woman. Song Chengjie turned around slightly and asked the woman,

"Is this okay?"

The woman looked at it and replied:

"fine."

Then they made up their minds and walked straight in. They had just arrived at the door of the room and had not had time to make a statement.

"The two are not together",

I heard a series of greetings:

"Welcome, please come in and lead the way...on the 16th...",

The two had no choice but to silently follow the man into No. 16. When the waitress went to bring tea, they just sat facing each other blankly. When the waiter came in with tea and invited the guests to take a bath, Song Chengjie no longer had the courage to declare that this woman

Not with him anymore.

He carried a handkerchief, said "I'll wash it first", and walked to the bathroom. The bathroom was at the end of the corridor next to the toilet. It was dark and looked very unclean. Song Chengjie took off his clothes, jumped into the tub, and thought.

After a while, I thought to myself, this woman has really become a burden.

While he was taking a shower, footsteps sounded in the corridor, as if someone was in the toilet, and he came out again after a while. Then he washed his hands. After hurriedly wiping himself, Song Chengjie went back to his room. As soon as he entered the room, the woman

The waiter came in with the accommodation registration book.

Song Chengjie took the registration book and wrote in a formal manner:

"Song Chengjie, Songdaodao Village, Baoji County, Shaanxi Province, 23 years old, unemployed."

It was the woman's turn, and Song Chengjie was a little at a loss. He wanted to wait until she came back from the shower, but the waitress kept waiting. Song Chengjie could only write randomly:

"Same county, same county, same village, same surname, name Ahua, nineteen years old."

Then he handed over the errand. During the errand, he asked specifically.

“How much does it cost to stay a night?”

"Three cents!"

When he heard "30 cents", he completely gave up the idea of ​​asking for a room again. Thirty cents! It's too expensive! That night, in the narrow room, Song Chengjie, who was sleeping on the floor, didn't sleep all night. Likewise, the woman didn't sleep all night either.

yesterday.

There were many things in Lianyungang that surprised Song Chengjie. First of all, it was the sound of the jingling bells of the trams that aroused his interest. With the sound of jingling bells, so many people got off, which was really novel. Secondly, the sound of the jingling bells of the trams aroused his interest.

A street. However, what surprised him even more was that no matter where he went, they all had the same "Lianyungang flavor", and there were piles of wood and stones everywhere. The new houses were all one or two feet away from the road, and they looked very new.

Only half of the building has been demolished, and the front half has been carefully preserved. It seems that everything is continuing to be destroyed; at the same time, everything is under construction.

Just as Mr. Ketang said, huge changes are taking place in Lianyungang on the first day. When such changes spread to the whole country, it will be a day when China becomes stronger.

At this time, standing in this ever-changing city, Song Chengjie was simply stunned. It was the first time for a countryman from inland China to be in the center of the city. What an unusual mood and feeling it was! The knowledge he had learned in Baoji in the past could not be more different.

There was nothing that could force him to calm down from this surprised mood.

And most of his self-confidence disappeared with this excitement. Originally, he thought that this city was just an ordinary city like Baoji, but there were more opportunities here and he could earn more money. But now, he is in this city.

In this big city, looking at the tall buildings on both sides of the street, and looking at the crowds of people that were larger than those in Fucheng, he suddenly realized that in such a big city, there were countless people like him who carried the same ideals.

The dream of getting rich is here.

And how many of those people can really make a fortune? Looking at the well-dressed pedestrians around him and looking at the clothes he was wearing, he only felt uneasy. He stood in the center of Tokyo like this, watching.

On trams and trains, people in white clothes and people in black clothes were all moving around quickly, which made me feel very familiar.

-From a historian's perspective, Lianyun's short three-year history has reproduced major changes equivalent to three hundred years in the West.

The sir's words rang in his ears again. At this moment, he saw two policemen in black uniforms walking towards him. Looking at the policemen with short guns on their waists, Song Chengjie suddenly got close to him for no reason.

Perhaps the most "familiar" thing he saw after coming to this city was the railway police. There were also railway police at Baoji Station, and those railway police were different from the police from other places who were engaged in extortion.

The purpose is to serve the people. He remembers that when he was in Baoji, it was under their guidance that he went to the employment agency. Because he did not want to work outside the city, he worked as a casual worker. Although he did not make much money,

He spends most of his time in the city.
