682 [Chasing Heroes]

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou!"

Ma Jue and his classmates hurriedly chased out of the classroom, holding books in their hands, obviously trying to find Zhou Hexuan for autographs.

Hearing someone speak Chinese in a foreign country, Yu Peichen first turned around and said to Zhou Hexuan: "Sir, they are Chinese students. ”

"Xiao Jue, I haven't seen you for a long time, your parents are fine." Zhou Hexuan greeted with a smile.

When the other students saw that Ma Jue actually knew Zhou Hexuan, they were immediately envious, that kind of look made Ma Jue quite useful, she smiled and said: "Hello Mr. Zhou, my parents are very healthy, thank you for your concern." That, the classmates want to ask you for an autograph. ”

"No problem." Zhou Hexuan nodded.

The students were immediately overjoyed and handed over the books in their hands.

After signing his name, Zhou Hexuan pointed to Toynbee and other professors and said, "I still have to go to lunch with them, and I will communicate next time I have a chance." ”

"Goodbye, Mr. Zhou!" The students said respectfully.

Ma Jue asked writhingly, "Mr. Zhou, is that...... Where do you live? I have some questions for me, can I come and visit? ”

"Of course," Zhou wrote down his address, "I've been living here lately, but not necessarily at home." ”

"Thank you, goodbye Mr. Zhou." Ma Jue carefully put away the address.

At this time, the Japanese students also came out of the classroom. In the face of the strange eyes of the Western students, they all ran away, as if they had no face to stay here.

On the contrary, Kenzaburo Tanaka, who was the first to question Zhou Hexuan, walked up to Zhou Hexuan and bowed deeply: "Mr. Zhou, on behalf of Japan, I say sorry to all the suffering Chinese. Although it is very presumptuous, I still hope to be forgiven by the Chinese! ”

"Do you think it's useful to say I'm sorry?" Zhou Hexuan sneered playfully.

Kenzaburo Tanaka was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "I will do my best to restore the truth that has been covered up by history." I will withdraw from school tomorrow and then go to China to find out the crimes of the Japanese army. I will use the rest of my life to promote friendship and peace between China and Japan! Thank you very much Mr. Zhou for this lesson, goodbye! ”

Looking at Kenzaburo Tanaka's distant figure, a Chinese student said, "The Japanese are not all bastards. ”

Zhou Hexuan raised his eyebrows: "There are always a few outliers. ”

Although the whole people of Japan in the 30s fell into a state of militaristic fanaticism, there were still some "Japanese traitors" who called for peace and anti-war, among which Wataru Kachi and Hidemi Ozaki were the most famous.

Before Japan's full-scale invasion of China, Kajiwa mainly created anti-war works. After the outbreak of the war, he organized the "Anti-War League of Japanese in China," which was specially responsible for propaganda and persuasion and ideological education of Japanese prisoners. These Japanese anti-war figures often went to the front line to shout to the Japanese army and distributed Japanese leaflets, and many members died directly under the guns.

As for Hidemi Ozaki, he is even more powerful, ostensibly, he is the private secretary of Japanese Prime Minister Fumima Konoe, and he can freely enter and leave the prime minister's official residence and attend the prime minister's think tank meetings. But in fact, he was a secret member of the Comintern, and often passed confidential information about Japan's invasion of China to Yan'an. Unfortunately, this international friend was arrested by the Japanese military in 1941 and secretly hanged on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

By the way, these two active anti-war Japanese were both friends of Mr. Lu Xun. Those who spread rumors that Lu Xun is a traitor should really know more.

For Kenzaburo Tanaka's awakening, Zhou Hexuan is still very happy. If a lecture can wake up a Japanese person, he is willing to give a lecture every day, but unfortunately there are too few such Japanese people who still have a conscience.

At noon, Zhou Hexuan had dinner with history professors at the University of London, most of whom promised to help him with anti-Japanese peace propaganda.

This situation is normal, after all, it is the 30s when pacifism prevailed, and 99% of Britons, from academics to ordinary people, believe that "peace" is sacred. They don't want to go to war, and they don't want to see other countries go to war – they are actually scared by the heavy casualties of the First World War.

In the afternoon, Zhou Hexuan was interviewed by two newspapers at his home and provided reporters with several copies of photos of the Japanese massacre.

In the evening, Zhang Leyi and Yu Peichen were preparing a meal, and Ma Jue suddenly came to the door in a hurry.

"Hello Sister Zhang!" Ma Jue greeted with a smile.

Zhang Leyi took off her apron and said in surprise: "Xiao Jue, why did you come to London?" ”

"I'm studying here." Ma Jue said with a smile.

"Please sit down," Zhang Leyi shouted to the kitchen, "Less, get an extra pair of knives and forks!" ”

"Eh, got it!" Yu Peichen's voice came from the kitchen.

Ma Jue has been to Sanle Hall more than a dozen times, all under the guise of asking for literature, and he has long been familiar with the hostesses of the Zhou family. She took Zhang Leyi's hand and said, "Sister Zhang, where is Mr. Zhou?" ”

"Inside the study, writing." Zhang Leyi pointed.

"Mr. Zhou is so diligent, I'll go see him." Ma Jue said and ran towards the study.

Zhang Leyi shook her head a little helplessly, she had already seen this little girl's thoughts, who called Zhou someone too charming.

Even Hu Shi and Xu Zhimo receive courtship letters from countless girls every year, not to mention international university scholars like Zhou Hexuan.

This is an era of advocating heroes, during the Anti-Japanese War, a young girl witnessed the heroic deeds of Shen Chongzhi piloting a plane to crash into an enemy plane and sacrificed, and swore that Shen Chongzhi would never marry for life, and was willing to be a hero and survive. After the news of Ma Zhanshan and Song Zheyuan's resistance to the Japanese army came out, many young girls also wrote letters, expressing their willingness to serve the anti-Japanese heroes "as slaves and maids".

In the minds of many young girls, Zhou Hexuan is also such a hero, because he insisted on resisting Japan in the field of culture and academia, and a magazine "Non-Offensive" has pushed Zhou Hexuan to the altar. When Zhang Leyi lived in Tianjin, she had to receive courtship letters from all over the country every month, and if she was jealous, she would have drowned in the sea of vinegar.

"Knock knock!"

Ma Jue knocked on the door carefully and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Zhou, can I go in?" ”

"Please come in." Zhou Hexuan responded.

Ma Jue walked over lightly, glanced at the manuscript and said, "What article is Mr. Zhou writing?" ”

"The third part of "Black Soil". Zhou Hexuan said.

"Isn't the magazine "Non-Offensive" discontinued? Where was Black Soil published next? Ma Jue said curiously.

Zhou Hexuan explained: ""Fei Offensive resumed publication at the end of the year, and the editorial office moved to Wuhan. ”

Ma Jue said: "It seems that "Non-Offensive" was banned by the Nanjing government, and they will allow it to be republished? ”

"Lao Chiang promised me," Zhou Hexuan said, "but after the resumption of the magazine, the word 'anti-Japanese' cannot be mentioned, nor can the Japanese emperor be discussed." ”

Ma Jue said angrily: "It's really a traitor and traitorous government, one-fifth of the country's territory has been occupied, and the country's newspapers are not allowed to mention anti-Japanese resistance!" ”

"It's a bit excessive." Zhou Hexuan sighed and said.

The argument of "Sino-Japanese goodwill" was originally intended to draw Japan into the game to solve the silver crisis. Chang Kaishen, however, "turned the fake into reality," thinking that this would paralyze Japan and slow down the pace of Japan's invasion of China, which was simply foolish.

While the two were talking, Yu Peichen came to knock on the door and said, "Sir, Miss Ma, it's time to eat!" ”

Due to the incomplete ingredients and condiments, Zhou Hexuan can only eat Western food in the UK. However, Zhang Leyi's skills are very good, she studied cooking classes when she was in a Chinese and Western girls' school, and Zhou Hexuan's wife was responsible for the food on his trip to London.

Ma Jue didn't talk much at school, but when she arrived at Zhou's house, she chattered non-stop, and her lively appearance was probably going to surprise her suitors.

After dinner, Zhou Hexuan continued to create "Black Soil". Ma Jue didn't bother, sat quietly next to him and read the manuscript, looked up from time to time to peek at the man next to him a few times, and then continued to read the manuscript with a red face.

The next day, the British newspapers blew up.

The Times, The Daily Mail, The London Journal...... Several major newspapers were surprisingly consistent, all of which reported the content of Zhou Hexuan's lecture on a full page.
