1949 I am from the future

()【9】Look at the future

Fengze Garden Chrysanthemum Fragrance Bookstore is well-known in later generations. In fact, it is just an ordinary courtyard house. The stone road in the yard connects the longhouses and courtyard gates on three sides in a cross shape. The decoration of the living room is simple and elegant. The long bookshelves are more than two meters high and lined up against the wall from one end to the other. There are three sofas scattered under the bookshelves, one double and two single. , a floor lamp stood beside the sofa, and a dark green lampshade was placed on the brass pole.On the top of the room, there was a small old desk. After the sunlight filtered through the plain sky blue cotton curtains, it fell softly and serenely on the peacock blue carpet that covered the room.

Cao Xiaoqiang's laptop was placed on the wooden coffee table in front of the sofa, and the chairman was concentrating on watching the documentary "New China" being shown on the screen.It can be seen that the tea on the side of the coffee table has cooled down at this time, but the chairman did not move a sip.Until four o'clock in the afternoon, Comrade Hu Qiaomu, the secretary, brought in a document. The chairman just glanced at it and put it aside, indicating that Hu Qiaomu could go out.

"Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang, some people don't believe that you came here through time travel. They think you are a spy. After investigation, it is proved that you are telling the truth. Those cars and watches are indeed of a level of production and technology that has never been seen before. I think they are It’s unnecessary, I can tell from the laptop you are talking about that you are telling the truth.”

Xiaoqiang nervously replied in a low voice: "The chairman can just call me Xiaoqiang from now on."

The chairman nodded, picked up the cold teacup and took a big sip, then actually lifted the thermos bottle beside him to fill his and Xiaoqiang's cups with water.

The chairman's action made Xiaoqiang almost faint:

"Cao Xiaoqiang, you idiot! If you didn't live in such misery in the 21st century, you would commit suicide. You wouldn't even rush to do this job, it's really shameless!"

Xiaoqiang stood up quickly to grab the thermos bottle with the sweat that just came out of his forehead.The chairman glanced at him, waved his hand and said:

"Don't be cautious, you are a guest, and it is only natural for the host to pour tea to the guests." After finishing speaking, the old man sat down again and gave Xiaoqiang a cigarette sitting beside him, Xiaoqiang quickly took it with both hands, and quickly grabbed the matches on the table Light it up for the chairman. Fortunately, this guy is not too stupid after all. He has not yet developed to the state of brain damage that requires the chairman to light a cigarette for him.

"I believe that there are heroic souls in the world. The blood of the heroes of the Chinese nation will not be shed in vain. The sacrifices made by the martyrs for the future of the country and the nation will not be in vain. According to what you said Yes, this blood soul will only appear once in tens of millions of years, it seems that this is a once-in-a-lifetime historical opportunity, and it is a glorious mission given to you by countless Chinese revolutionary martyrs, and you must complete it."

The chairman glanced at the notebook on the coffee table, and then said: "I haven't finished this documentary, you stay and have dinner with me, please do your best, we will watch it later in the evening, I have a lot to ask you, we will watch it today over."

"Yes! Chairman, I am waiting for you to assign me a task after reading it." Xiaoqiang said.

Braised pork, mapo tofu, potato shreds, tomato scrambled eggs, vegetable and egg drop soup.Simple four dishes and one soup, but the taste is amazing, Cao Xiaoqiang ate three big bowls of rice.This chairman's family banquet is really delicious.

After dinner, the chairman ordered that no one should disturb tonight, so Xiaoqiang accompanied the chairman to continue watching the documentary "New China". Some questions raised.The living room was filled with smoke all night.

After reading all of them, it was almost dawn, the chairman opened the door and said, "Xiaoqiang, are you tired, walk with me."

"Chairman, I'm not tired." Xiaoqiang hurriedly replied.

He didn't dare to neglect, and followed the chairman half a step behind.The two slowly walked around the yard three times, and then entered the living room and study.

"The information from the future is of great significance for us to better carry out the work of building a new China. There is no precedent for socialism, and there is no ready-made history to learn from. We only know that the general direction is right, and it is in line with the development of human society and civilization. Regular, but there may be detours in the specific practice exploration. You said that some people in later generations commented that the New Culture Movement was a failed attempt to explore the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics. I agree with this point of view, even if you don’t Being used by a small group of people, the positive significance may not be greater than the negative benefits. People say that history is a mirror, but I am taking the future as a mirror.” Speaking of this, the chairman laughed.

Immediately afterwards, the old man continued: "Tonight, I let you accompany me to be a night owl. I am really sorry. Now you go to rest. Your work is very dependent on your health, which is more than any of us. You are more interested in faster and faster." The significance of building a new China is better than that of any other person in China, even I cannot compare with you."

"Chairman, you are too commendable! You have unified China, given the people a new set of moral values, raised the status of workers and peasants unprecedentedly, and established a clean government. What is even greater is that these great achievements are in the It was done under extremely unfavorable international and domestic conditions. You have increased the blood of the Chinese people, united and organized the people of the country, and formed cohesion and combat effectiveness. How can the movement that swept China be said to be your personal matter? How could it be later? Put all the responsibility on you alone? Even if it is a sentence you feel when you are old, admit the mistakes you made. Some of us, just like this, push the whole responsibility on you alone , especially after your death, you took this responsibility into the grave of history? I think your charm lies in your spirit of responsibility. At that time, only you had the courage to take responsibility Come down. This kind of mind and courage can only be explained by you who are truly fighting for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. You are a god in the hearts of the Chinese people that will never be erased."

After a break, Xiaoqiang continued: "Li Ao, a Taiwanese in later generations, said: 'The great revolutionaries are in mainland China! After the victory of the revolution, they faced a problem. A new China has stood up, and we have to build a new China. But these experts who are good at making revolution may not necessarily be good at building a country, and sometimes he will not be able to keep up.'

So, just as you said, everyone is also groping, not at the beginning we think that everything is possible, no, we are also groping, in the process of groping, we will go the wrong way, and we will pay for it if we go the wrong way. cost. "

"When the Communist Party of China seized the ruling power in China in 200, it was poor and white. The Kuomintang removed everything that could be moved away, and blew up everything that could be blown up, leaving mainland China with 92 million local tyrants, evil gentry, and exiles. The bandits want you to clean it up, and the Kuomintang moved the entire national treasury of [-] taels of gold to Taiwan. How to solve this mess?' Many people have a misconception that you don't understand the economy, which has caused the development of mainland China to lag behind that of Japan in the same period And the “Four Tigers.” This is the biggest fallacy of the day.

First of all, the starting point of Japan and the "Four Little Dragons" is different from that of China. Japan began to industrialize after the Meiji Restoration. By the time of World War II, Japan could produce tens of thousands of aircraft a year, while China could not even manufacture a single aircraft.Many people think that Germany and Japan became ruins after World War II. In fact, the factories in Germany and Japan were hidden underground or scattered during the war. American planes could do nothing about it. Otherwise, the United States would not need to drop atomic bombs and win over the Soviet Union to send troops. , Use the plane to blow up all the Japanese factories.Are the Japanese soldiers holding wooden sticks still resisting the Americans? By July 1945, Japan still had the ability to produce thousands of aircraft per month, which was higher than the monthly output of aircraft in 7, which shows that its industry is basically intact, only raw materials No longer available.

What's more, Japan has a huge scientific and technological team and an army of skilled workers, which is simply incomparable in old China.Therefore, by 1949, when New China was founded, Japan was actually 80 years ahead of China.Even Taiwan and South Korea, because they once became part of Japan's territory (colonies), their overall level is 50 years ahead of mainland China. "

"In just 30 years of your era, China has achieved a historic leap from an agricultural country to a great industrial power. China is implementing a catch-up strategy, that is, aiming at the advanced industrial level of the West. We have what others have, and others have not. We also want to have what we have. By the eve of your death, almost all the China that the West has. There are jet planes in the sky, cars, trains and ships on the ground, satellites, missiles, and atomic bombs. And the "Four Little Dragons" can What are they made? They are a typical colonial economy, and they can only manufacture clothing, shoes and hats. They caught up with the good times during the Cold War, when the anti-imperialist struggles of Western colonial countries were surging. For the West, only in the United States and Britain The "four little dragons" under the protection of bayonets are safe, so investment is concentrated on them, resulting in their short-term prosperity. But they do not have developed manufacturing and core technology, and prosperity cannot last at all. Argentina in the early 20th century relied on Sheep were once rich, but what about now? After the end of the Cold War, the economic development of the "Four Tigers" quickly fell into trouble, but China is still advancing at a high speed, because China has its own manufacturing industry and can manufacture almost anything ...and the foundation of China's industrialization was laid by you for the Chinese people."

"It is true that the living standards of Chinese people did not improve very quickly in your era, but this was to raise funds for China's industrialization. The funds for Western industrialization came from colonial plunder (Britain and France), exploitation of black slaves (USA), and reparations from foreign wars ( Germany). And socialist countries like the Soviet Union and China can only save money and accumulate industrial funds first, develop their own industries, and then use the wealth created by industries to enjoy a better life.”

"In your era, the economic gap between China and Western powers narrowed rapidly. Professor Morris Meissner of Yale University in the United States called your era 'one of the greatest modernization eras in world history. It is not inferior to the most intense period of the industrialization process of major rising stars on the modern industrial stage such as Russia. The United States believed in the book "Japan and the Modernization of Russia" published in the 20s that New China has achieved Achievements that no other country has ever achieved.

"Hehe, this is also the summary of insightful people on the Internet. I think this is the truth."

After hearing what Xiaoqiang said, the chairman smiled and said: "I am not as great as you said. Greatness is created by the Chinese people, and the Chinese people are the greatest."
