The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 45 Speech
In Sanwei Bookstore.

"Liuzi, why are you always late these days?"

"Brother Xun, Runtu, after school, I'll take you to a good place."

Zhang Runtu was a little curious. The six sons were usually not late, but something was not quite right recently.

You have to learn from brother Xun, just carve a word "Zao" on the table.

"Fortunately, Mr. is not here at noon today, otherwise you will be punished. Why did you go?"

Zhang Runtu was a little strange, the six sons were not usually like this.

"I just changed the place to listen to the lectures. Now the law has been reformed. My husband is still teaching for the past two days. If you take a thousand things from a thousand things, you can take a hundred things from a thousand things. It's not too much. If you want to benefit later, you can't take it away." I’m tired of listening to it too. I went to a place where a gentleman gave a really good lecture. I’ll take you to have a look. Our husband’s knowledge is very good, but the content of the teaching has fallen behind. Now everyone is talking about it. Reform, the capital is even hotter, we have to keep up with the trend and not lag behind others."

Zhang Runtu became a little interested. Mr. Guoxue taught very well. Although he seemed a little rigid, he could be called a master of Chinese studies.

"I've listened to three lectures. The gentleman talked about reform and saving the country. It's what I really want to learn."

The six sons brought Runtu to a courtyard.

The garden is not big.

But there are many people inside.

Zhang Runtu was a little curious.

Good fellow, dare to talk about reform and revolution at this time.

But that's right, the reform ministers are in full swing now.

There is nothing wrong with talking about reforms.

There are still newspapers that are publicly printed in several places, and it's okay.

But this reform will not last for a few years, and the accounts will be settled by then.

"In today's world, countries are reforming their laws to become stronger and changing rapidly. We, China, are already in it. Reforms are imperative. If you want to change, you must change, if you don't want to change, you must change. Take the initiative to seek change, and everything is under control. But if you passively ask If you change the law, you will pay a painful price. Reform the law, save the country! Reform the law to become stronger! Reform the law and become the rule of the world!"

This gentleman is very active in his lectures.

There are quite a lot of people listening.

At this time, many people are very interested in the reform, but the concept is rather vague.

After Mr.'s explanation, I seem to understand a little bit.

"Brother Xun, Brother Runtu, how are you doing? This gentleman's speech is so good, it can make people deaf!"

It is true that Zhang Runtu and Brother Xun were a little excited about the passion.

It's awesome to be able to make speeches.

It seems that those reformers are good at giving speeches to inspire people.

Been listening here for a while.

This gentleman came back from studying abroad.

Now there are more and more Western-style schools.

Most of the places to study abroad are in Japan.

There are thousands of people studying in Japan.

It is closer to Dongying, and the cost is less.

Europe and the United States are too far away and cost a lot.

Go a little more at your own expense.

There are also public-funded places, but the number of public-funded places is pitifully small, and few people can get it.

Those who can study abroad are those from very wealthy families, and the cost of studying abroad is very high. No matter what, it will cost hundreds of oceans, which is poor education.

Therefore, those who advocate reform and have new ideas are mostly wealthy families.

This young gentleman is still giving a speech: "We are young, and you are young. If you are young, you should have a brand new China."

Runtu was stunned when he heard this. This is not just a reform, it is a rebellion, it should be called a revolution.

"Have you ever read Evolution Theory? Natural selection of the fittest survives. The powerful countries in today's world have become powerful because of reforms. How can China not change?"

Hearing this, by coincidence, Zhang Runtu was finishing the full English version of Tianyanlun.

Fortunately, there is John's help, otherwise he would have a lot of things that he doesn't understand very well.

Runtu took a look at the gentleman's appearance. He looked about 25 or [-] years old. He was fair and clean, and he should be from a wealthy family.

It is courageous to engage in reforms.

At this time, reforms began to be carried out, and it should be a very famous one.

He heard from the six sons that this gentleman is called Shen Xiao.

Runtu recalled that he was not very familiar with this name for a while.

Could it be just a pseudonym?
Or was it bad luck that he passed away too early?
There are still many unsung heroes in history.

History books cannot record the lives of so many people.

Or just use a few short words to write a person's life into it.

The speech was very impassioned, just because of this speech ability, as long as he can live safely, he will definitely be a big boss in the future.

Runtu crossed over last year.

In 95, these few years were very unusual. The Sino-Japanese War was defeated, the uprising led by Mr. Sun, the Reform Movement and the Reform Movement of [-], and so on.

About half an hour later, Mr. Shen finished his lecture.

It's time to ask questions.

"Sir, will the reform really succeed?"

"Of course, the reform is the general trend of the world. Some people advocate industry to save the country, some people say education to save the country, there is a constitution to save the country, and revolution to save the country. All of these have to start with the reform. The Sino-Japanese War was defeated. The reason lies in its education. I studied in Japan and learned about the situation there. Everyone is literate, and everyone can accept new ideas. As for us, ordinary people are ignorant and ignorant, reforming methods, new ideas, and eradicating such ignorance.”

"Sir, what book is Evolution Theory?"

"I have read the translation, but it has not been published yet. They are all in English. But I believe that when the translation is published, it will definitely ignite a raging fire in China. It expounds the theory of evolution, connects with the reality of China, and calls on the people of the country to strive for self-improvement and reform. Pragmatic. Unique and unprecedented, it should be the first strange book of Western learning, and the first of Chinese Western learning."

My husband gave the book "Tian Yan Lun" a very high evaluation.

He spoke passionately, and Runtu listened passionately.

The theory of natural evolution is good, but it is still inferior when compared with Marxism-Leninism.

However, the Evolution Theory is no different from a thought-provoking thunder to the current China.

"Sir, do you have a theory of evolution here? I want to see it too."

"Not yet, has any of you read it?"

Runtu got a little excited, and stood up uncontrollably.

Well, now it's all right, everyone is looking at him.

"Student, have you read Evolution Theory?"

Zhang Runtu could only answer yes.

Mr. Shen's teaching here is temporary, and he teaches in a new-style school.

This is just a place for him to give speeches, and he will come here every day to talk for a while, so that everyone can understand new ideas and reform methods.

No money, all lectures are free.

Looking at Runtu, Mr. Shen's eyes sparkled. He didn't expect a young man in Kuaiji to have read this book.

Immediately chatted with Runtu for a while.

Runtu always answered the husband's questions in a more subtle way.
