Volume 5 History of Heavy Trees Chapter 760 - The Presidential Election (Part II)
In the cheers of the people, Sun Liwen walked out, he was graceful, but now he is no longer the number one enemy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty Sun Liwen twenty years ago, he is now full of silver hair, and even the beard on the corner of his mouth is gray. He wears a gray-blue stand-up collar suit, which is different from a Western suit in that it resembles a military uniform and is a dress that falls somewhere between a military uniform and a suit. This suit was the invention of this set of Chinese suits when Sun Liwen fled in Shanghai, and when he was poor, he sent his old military uniform to a clothing store to be converted into a suit in order to save money.
Sun Liwen's Chinese suit has attracted the attention of a large number of people, and of course, what is more attractive is Sun Liwen's legendary experience. He was an idealist who would rather spend his life achieving a goal if he had one goal in mind. Just like he wanted to overthrow the Qing Empire, which lasted from 1894 until 1912, when the Qing Dynasty was overthrown. After the overthrow of the Qing government, his goal in life was to be the president, especially Yuan Shikai was the emperor, which disappointed him greatly, he gave up the competition for the president for the sake of national unification and avoided the Civil War, so after Yuan Shikai became the emperor, he stubbornly believed that only China led by him was truly for the country and the people. Many people in history have commented on Sun Liwen, with admirers saying that he was for the country and the people, while opponents said that he was greedy for profit. However, they ignore the character of Sun Liwen himself, who is an idealist through and through, and after an idealist sets a goal, he will unswervingly follow it, regardless of whether the process is right or wrong.
When Sun Liwen stood in the middle of the rostrum, the audience finally burst into applause, because he is a native of Xiangshan, Guangdong, and his accent is between northern official dialect and Cantonese, which sounds a little difficult to distinguish among northerners, but as soon as he spoke, he shocked everyone, his voice was loud and sonorous, especially the Cantonese scale. It sounds very comfortable, and the ancient Chinese language has been passed down in Guangdong, making Cantonese people very proud of their accent.
Sun Liwen said: "Gentlemen, we are all Chinese, and we know that China has been a first-class power in the world for thousands of years. The progress of our civilization was ahead of all countries, when China was strong and prosperous, as the so-called thousands of countries paid tribute, and all countries came to the dynasty, at that time. China's civilization is the first in the world, and China is the world's leading power. How's it going? In modern times, our China has been the weakest and poorest country in the world, and Chinese people have been bullied and insulted overseas, and no country in the modern world can afford to look up to Chinese. Therefore, the current intention of the world's great powers to carve up China, that is, to jointly govern China. Why do we need to co-govern China? Because the world powers think. The Chinese cannot govern China. But we are here today to show all the great powers of the world that we Chinese can manage China and can manage China well! ”
Everyone applauded again, Wang Maoru applauded desperately, Sun Liwen is not a loss of Sun Cannon, his words are not shocking and endless, and the observation teams of various countries here are still there. There was a blame for the partition of China by other countries, and before he became president, Sun Liwen faced foreigners with a tough nationalist attitude, which was indeed not a small courage. An idealist is one who has the courage to face any danger and the determination to face any difficulty -- and whether he has the ability or not is not a matter of concern.
Sun Liwen continued: "Why is China the strongest country in the past. Now it's getting to this point? This is because we have been in China for nearly a few hundred years, and we have slept like this. We are asleep, not knowing the progress of the countries of the world. When we fall asleep, we still think that we are the rich and powerful of hundreds of years ago. Because I fell asleep. So we civilization retreated, we degenerated. Who is not in a hurry today? Our Chinese, at this point today, must quickly think of ways to save our country, then we China can still be saved. Otherwise, China will become a country that has become a dead country and an extinct species. Wake up, be vigilant! ”
Sun Liwen added: "Since May this year, with the efforts of all the Chinese people, China has finally been reunified again, and the governments of the north and south have been merged and democratic elections have been held. This is what we ourselves have come up with to save China. Today, I'm here to think of a way to work with you, I, Sun Liwen, am not a god, I can't turn a stone into gold, and I can't say that after I succeed in running for president, I can make China rich and strong all of a sudden. I need help, I need the help of everyone, you, every parliamentarian, every journalist, every Chinese, we are together, to shape this China into a strong country hundreds of years ago. Here, I would like to thank the soldiers of our country, who shed their blood to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty ten years ago, and ten years later, they once again sacrificed themselves to unify the country, and gave up the military to interfere in politics. ”
Everyone applauded and looked at Wang Maoru, everyone knew who Sun Liwen was referring to, it was Wang Maoru, the generalissimo of Shangwu, Wang Maoru also smiled and applauded, Sun Liwen smiled at him, and he responded with a smile.
Sun Liwen said: "At the end of the speech, I want to say that I want to work with you to find a way for China to become rich and strong, I don't know if you choose me or not." But no matter who I choose, I will dedicate my life to the rise of China. ”
After the speech, Sun Liwen walked off the rostrum amid applause, especially the people in the Kuomintang who slapped their palms red. Liao Zhongkai, Wang Zhaoming, Dai Chuanxian and others burst into tears, they have shed their blood for so many years, isn't it just for today's glory?
After Sun Liwen's speech, the applause lasted for a long time, and Liu Enge took the stage to continue presiding: "Next, please please, presidential candidate Meng Enyuan announced the election manifesto."
At this time, the people of the National Renaissance Party applauded, and Meng Enyuan also walked out slowly, and when he met Sun Liwen, the two shook hands amicably. He stepped onto the rostrum and said in his northern official dialect with a Tianjin flavor: "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen."
His words made Wang Mao happy, Tianjin people's speeches are always the same as talking about stand-up comedy, and there is a sense of humor between the lines.
Meng Enyuan didn't read much, compared with Sun Liwen, he was really not as good as Sun Liwen, Sun Liwen just came out of the script, and Meng Enyuan put the speech on the podium and announced it as written. was originally a good speech, but he read it boringly, if it weren't for his Tianjin accent that made people want to laugh, he would really be able to make everyone fall asleep. Meng Enyuan said that he was excited, and finally got out of the script, shouting: "What kind of spirit do we Chinese want?"
But in a fit of excitement, the speech made him go to the ground, and now Meng Enyuan forgot to speak, so he said, "What kind of spirit is this?" What kind of spirit is this? What kind of spirit is this...... "At first everyone thought he was a technique of speaking, but soon when he repeated it six times, he realized that something was wrong. Meng Enyuan was also anxious, his ability was not good, but his qualifications were high enough, and he was pushed to this position, and he glanced at the audience, and his think tank Gao Shibin was also anxious.
Suddenly, Gao Shibin pointed at Wang Maoru, Meng Enyuan suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "In fact, someone has explained this spirit to us, what is this called spirit?" The spirit of the Chinese dream! I have a dream, I dream of China being rich and strong! I dream that my countrymen will not be bullied! Everyone, let's work together. ”
In fact, he only spoke two-thirds of the speech, and he couldn't bend down to pick up the speech, and he forgot the words, but at the end he quoted the words of Wang Maoru's national declaration on September 9, which made everyone stunned, but it seemed to have a good effect, and everyone applauded. Meng Enyuan was in a cold sweat after stepping down, this is not the same as facing tens of thousands of soldiers in the face of more than 1,000 supervision officials, facing the soldiers is knowing that those are his subordinates, and he is pointing where to fight, but these more than 1,000 people are the ones who decide their own fate, how can they not be nervous.
Then Xu Shichang also took the stage to speak, but Xu Shichang knew his own election fate, the fifth president was either Meng Enyuan or Sun Liwen, so he only summarized the major events that happened during his tenure in the past four years on the stage, including the end of the European war, the Chinese government sent troops to intervene in the Russian civil war, the peace talks between the north and the south, Europe promised to return China's Shandong, the establishment of the national defense force, the resettlement of millions of refugees, national reunification, the realization of democratic elections and so on.
Xu Shichang's speech is not as impassioned as Sun Liwen, nor is it like Meng Enyuan, who has a natural sense of humor as soon as he speaks, and when he speaks, he tells it as if he is telling a story, which makes people unconsciously think that in fact, President Xu Shichang has done a lot for the country and the people in the past four years. Xu Shichang is also the first civilian president since the Republic of China, although Xu Shichang once served as the governor of the three eastern provinces of the former Qing Dynasty, but he never led troops to fight.
It is precisely because Xu Shichang has never led troops to fight that Xu Shichang is the longest-serving president in the ten years of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai has been in office for three years, Feng Guozhang has been in office for a year, Li Yuanhong has been in office for a year, and where has it been? Yuan Shikai was the emperor that year, not the president. This Xu Shichang, who is known as the puppet of the Anfu system, is not satisfied with the president, but now it seems that Xu Shichang's four years as president have turned out to be the four years with the fastest development of China's people's livelihood. Xu Shichang's invitation is also a kind of show-off, but he has no hope of becoming president. (To be continued.)
