The content of Zhou Hexuan's speech was published in the school magazine of the London School of Economics and Political Science the next day, under the title "The Colonial Era Is About to Become a Thing Past."

If it were Britain before World War I, anyone who wrote such a curse article would probably be sprayed into by all walks of life in the British society. But now it is different, and the whole of Europe after the First World War is in a stage of ideological confusion, and all kinds of chaotic isms are emerging one after another. There are also many people who predict the inevitable demise of capitalism, and Zhou Hexuan is simply pediatric when he says these words.

No one can say for sure whether capitalism will perish or not, but the British colonial system is indeed collapsing, and Zhou Hexuan's academic speech undoubtedly poked Britain's sore spot.

Toynbee, who served as the minister of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, soon sent Zhou Hexuan an invitation letter for academic exchanges, inviting him to discuss the current international situation together.

Zhou Hexuan is really busy, and from the end of May to the middle of June, his time is all full. Many colleges under the University of London sent invitations, and he gave non-stop lectures on various topics, including economic crisis, international current affairs, human civilization, new historiography theory, international anti-war, fascist expansion, etc., all kinds of content and everything.

Major newspapers and academic journals in London have articles about Zhou Hexuan every three or five days. After finishing his work in London, he immediately went to Cambridge and Oxford, not only to conduct academic exchanges in major schools and institutions, but also to gather Chinese students in the UK to discuss how they should do their best to save the country.

Although Zhou Hexuan has often appeared in British newspapers and magazines recently, the scope of influence is still limited to the academic world, far from the point where it is well known to the whole people in France.

Until the end of June, "Titanic" was officially published in the United Kingdom......

Gorentz, a leftist in the Labour Party, is still a capitalist at heart. He claimed to help Zhou Hexuan publish all his works in the UK, but the first book he published was very cleverly selected "Titanic" - because it has the most commercial value.

Royal College of Art, London.

Weekend.

19-year-old Vivian Marie Hartley, wearing a long white dress, held the hand of her best friend Dani, and walked out of the school gate with a smile.

"Didi!"

Suddenly there was a whistle ahead, but it was a red International Roadster parked on the side of the road. Introduced three years ago by Aston Martin Motor Company, the car has only sold more than 50 units due to its high price and the global economic crisis.

Dani glanced enviously at the sports car and said to Vivien, "Mary, your prince has come to pick you up." ”

"He's not my prince, he's just a suitor, come with me." Vivien laughed.

The two girls came to the sports car holding hands, and a handsome middle-aged man got out of the car, and he saluted quite gentlemanly and said, "Two young ladies, is there anything I can do for you?" ”

Dani smiled, "Of course, we're going to the bookstore, then we're going to have lunch, and we're going to watch a movie in the afternoon." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Vivian affectionately, opened the car door enthusiastically and said, "Then I can be your coachman." Two beautiful young ladies, please get in the car. ”

Vivien smiled and gracefully sat in the back of the sports car, and Dani sat up with her.

Although it is a roadster, the Aston Martin is very ugly in the eyes of future generations, the whole car looks like a trapezoidal coffin, and there are two obnoxious spare tires hanging from the back of the butt.

Dani touched the saddle and said, "What kind of material is this?" It's so soft. ”

The middle-aged man started the car with a smile: "That's velvet fabric, and there is a layer of cowhide under the velvet." ”

"Expensive, right?" Dani asked again.

The middle-aged man said, "It's not expensive, it's only 1,000 pounds." ”

Dani stammered, "That's expensive." ”

A £1,000 car is indeed expensive, and the lowest-end Rover sedan is only £145 at this time, and more than £500 is considered a luxury car.

The middle-aged man asked Vivian, "Mary, where are you going for the first stop?" ”

"Bookstore." Vivien said.

While the middle-aged man was driving, Dani quietly asked, "Mary, what does he do?" ”

"Lawyer," Vivien said proudly, "he's a Cambridge graduate and has his own law firm. ”

"No wonder he's so rich," Dani asked deliberately with jealousy, "looking at the way he looks, he must be older, right?" ”

Vivien nodded, "Well, 13 years older than me." ”

Dani provoked, "The age difference is too great, you have to think about it." ”

Vivien whispered, "My dad likes him very much and thinks this man is mature and stable, but I'm still considering whether to accept his show of affection." ”

Dani continued: "Lawyers are very rigid, their lives are in a step-by-step manner, and they are not suitable for those of us who are engaged in art. ”

"Well, he knows a lot about Shakespeare's plays, he just doesn't like movies," Vivian said. ”

The two girls were chatting, and the sports car had already driven to the door of a bookstore.

After the world economic crisis spread to Europe, the impact on France was not great, but Britain suffered a lot. Nowadays, the British industry is in a depression, and even the book market is very sluggish, so there are few people who buy books even on weekends.

Vivien walked into the empty bookstore and said directly to the clerk, "Is there a week of "Titanic"?" ”

When the clerk saw that business came to the door, he hurriedly replied enthusiastically: "Yes, I just arrived yesterday, and I will take you there." ”

The clerk quickly took down three copies of "Titanic" from the shelf, and Dani was ecstatic when she got the book, hugged it in her arms and said, "I finally bought it, London has never published it." ”

Vivian was also happy: "Professor Jensen has been recommending this book, and I heard that "Titanic" has also been adapted into a drama and musical drama in the United States, and every Broadway performance is full of audiences. ”

Dani said excitedly: "Otherwise, we will also rehearse a drama of "Titanic", which will definitely be popular when it is performed." ”

Vivian regretted: "Mr. Zhou has recently given lectures at several universities in London, why didn't he come to our school? I'd love to see him in person. ”

The middle-aged man suddenly interjected: "Is that the Chinese who has been in the limelight recently?" ”

Vivian nodded and said, "It's him, the professor of our drama class especially admires Mr. Zhou as the greatest writer in the Far East, and specially recommended "The Goddess" and "Titanic" to us. ”

The middle-aged man was dismissive: "That's just an academic liar, preaching the spread of fascism and the decline of Britain everywhere, and his books are better read less." ”

Vivian was a little unhappy, put the book in her bag after checking out, didn't look at the middle-aged man, and only said to her best friend, "Let's go to dinner." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly caught up: "I know that there is an Italian restaurant nearby, and the dishes there are very delicious. ”

Vivien smiled and declined: "No need, let's talk about it next time." ”

The middle-aged man said that he wanted to drive a car to escort him, but he was still refused, and he stupidly watched the two women leave, not knowing what he said wrong.

A few years later, Vivien successfully starred in the movie, and she gave herself the stage name Vivien Leigh.
