"When you decide to bless others, you are already blessed because your heart is filled with blessings; When you are willing to love, you are already loved, because your heart is filled with love. In the same way, if you are harsh on others, you are harsh on yourself, and if you hate others, you hate yourself, because what you do to others is what your heart has become. Jesus said to them, "Give to yourselves with whatever measuring instrument you give......

Some people think that after believing in God, they can sit back and wait for God to bless and bless them. Not so. To believe in God is to fear, praise, hear, and follow God as God. It is to draw the power of grace through continuous Bible reading, prayer, worship, and witnessing. to walk according to the Word of God......"

Standing under the dome of the church, Yu Zixun preached to the American peasants who filled the church, surprised when he first arrived, but now accustomed to a yellow preacher. Although this is a village church, the more rural believers become, the more devout they become, and when he finally says 'Amen', the whole church is full of people's hearts, and at this moment, everyone's hearts are connected to God.

After many years in the United States, Yu Zixun, who entered Calvinism, began to study religion, and then became a trainee pastor and was sent to this diocese. As usual, after the sermon, he would go home and write down his thoughts for the day, but today, a guest is visiting.

"Mr. Zixun......" In the last row of churches where the congregation was gone, a short man in a white suit stood up and spoke in Chinese, his voice echoing through the seemingly empty wooden chapel.

Yu Zixun, who has been in the United States for many years, often hears Chinese, but it is rare to see Chinese among the believers he preaches, Yu Zixun looked over in surprise, and suddenly pointed at the person and said in surprise: "Yixian ......"

"Isn't it okay to come from Zixun?" Sun Wen walked straight to Yu Zixun on the inside of the church, he was used to Western etiquette, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Yu Zixun.

Hands clasped tightly together. Yu Zixun suddenly met his old friend, smiled brightly, and his expression seemed a little inappropriate for his serious priest decoration, "Fortunately, where has Yixian been all these years?" Some people say you ......"

"yes, anything." Sun Wen subconsciously glanced back, and there was an indescribable alertness in his eyes, "There are many people who wish I was dead, but I am still alive." After he said that, he looked at Yu Zixun's whole body again, and was also surprised: "I really can't imagine that Zixun will actually ...... It's going to be ......."

"Isn't it a priest?" Yu Zixun smiled, proud of the step he had taken. "A lot of times people change things that are hard for even him to predict. How has Yatsen been doing in the past few years? ”

"I'm doing well, I'll sleep when I'm full, and I'll eat when I'm awake. As long as you don't read the newspaper or listen to the radio, the world is still good. Sun Wen couldn't tell whether he was smiling bitterly or sneering, "This time I went to the United States, I heard that Zixun was here, so I came to visit." ”

"Oh, is it the same with Yat-sen?" Yu Zixun does not read newspapers or listen to the radio, he is only immersed in the world of Jesus Christ.

"What if not?" Sun Wen restrained his smile and looked up at the statue of Jesus in the middle of the church. "I have the intention to kill the thief, and I can't go back to heaven! China has been dragged too far by Yang Jingcheng. The people worship him like they worship Qin Shi Huang, why don't they look at it? What is the difference between the so-called Great China and the authoritarian dynasties of the past? As long as the country still mentions any quintessence, then it cannot be democratic. ”

"Yat-sen, comparing the United States with China, my impression is that the Chinese people can only die one by one. can be reborn one by one. If a civilization has multiplied for too long, the remaining people will be reluctant and obedient, and for these constituent countries, whether it is revolution or democracy, the model she can follow is still chaos and rule. In times of chaos, they kill each other and chase each other to the Central Plains. In the period of governance, the power was centralized and the people were educated. This is a cycle, but it has become a genius, and at the same time, the great powers have interfered, so that this reincarnation skips the troubled times and directly enters the ruling world, but that's all.

Revolution, revolution is nothing more than the removal of a government that cannot be autocratic and the replacement of a government that can be autocratic. I remember saying a long time ago that the Manchu Dynasty was overthrown and the Chinese Dynasty was born, which was nothing more than replacing the old with the new. Yu Zixun came out of the side door of the church with Sun Wen in his hand, and the late summer morning sun shone through the gaps in the leaves on his black robe, everything seemed to be in the Middle Ages.

"Is Zixun saying that the revolution can't save China?" Sun Wen, who followed him, asked.

"No, of course the revolution can save China, but the question is what is China?" Yu Zixun asked rhetorically. "Is China the people?"

"If there are people with lofty ideals who overthrow the current government and implement military, discipline, and constitutional government, then ......," Sun Wendao said.

"Yatsen is too optimistic." Yu Zixun shook his head, "I have always opposed and disagreed with the democracy that has been trained, and if a party or group has the ability to train the people, then it has the ability to dictate the people." Why should they give up their interests? The original constitutionalism was just the aristocracy uniting against the king, and England was the same; In France, the people overthrew the emperor and the nobility and established a republic of their own; Since the Mayflower's arrival in the Americas, the United States has established a democratic tradition, first as a self-governing society, and then as a self-governing society outside the jurisdiction of the British Commonwealth.

I thought that if the League would occupy Liangguang and even Fujian, and the Revival Association would form a coalition government, and the two associations would contain each other, which should bring democracy to the people, but obviously I was wrong. Yat-sen, if you really want to think about the Northern Expedition at that time? ”

A full decade has passed since the Xinhai incident, and Sun Wen regrets every time he thinks of the missed opportunity, if he takes Liangguang, Fujian and other places at that time, then the alliance will be good, whether it is China, it will be a different status quo. At this time, Yu Zixun brought up the past, and Sun Wen said calmly: "If Yang Jingcheng still insists on his autocratic set, Wen will definitely go on a northern expedition!" ”

"That's why China will never be able to be democratic." Yu Zixun knew that Sun Wen would say this, and the accumulation of ten years and the hardships of the pastor made him see many things clearly.

"As long as the League will become the ruling party, China will inevitably move towards democracy after three stages: military and political, training and constitutionalism." Sun Wen emphasized.

"No, Yat-sen. No matter how much you train, it will be bureaucratic politics in the end. If you look at China, this year is the third general election of the Inspectorate, but no matter how you choose. It will be revival that will triumph. According to the democratic procedure, you can't say that it's authoritarian, you can only say that it's not democratic enough, but in terms of actual results, it's authoritarian, and you can say it's a trick. Disguise it or not, it's there.

If Yat-sen does not want to go on the Northern Expedition and only wants to run the two Guangzhous well, then I believe that democracy will definitely be realized, but if it is to rule the whole country, it will be impossible. I asked Yat-sen for an obvious example, during the Xinhai uprising, the Mongols were sent to Tsarist Russia, hoping that Tsarist Russia would support its independent statehood. If Yat-sen is in power. Is it to agree with Mongolian independence, or to oppose Mongolian independence? Yu Zixun said again.

"Of course I oppose it, Mongolia must not be independent." Sun Wen consciously fell into Yu Zixun's trap and replied a little helplessly, but he remedied: "Mongolian independence is a political issue, not a democratic issue. ”

"No matter what the Mongolian problem is, it is a problem that the Mongols do not want to be in the same country as the Han Chinese." Yu Zixun said, "The will of the Mongols is independence. This is the foundation of the Mongolian state, and after this foundation is erased. No matter what form of state is established, no matter what form of government it is, no matter how it votes in elections, it is undemocratic. From the perspective of the Mongols, if Yat-sen was in power, his approach would be no different from that of Jingcheng. I think more and more. Democracy can only be said to be democratic if he agrees with small countries and oligarchs, and big statists, no matter how good they promise before they come to power, will eventually implement autocracy. ”

The revolutionary leader who claimed to be a democratic revolutionary was said by Yu Zixun to be no different from Yang Jingcheng, Sun Wen was a little excited, and he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said: "Zixun is too absolute. Take the United States, for example. President Lincoln during the Civil War ......"

"So President Lincoln undermined American democracy and turned America into an empire where she could interfere with other countries at will for her own benefit." Yu Zixun interrupted.

"Nope! It's just democratic...... To eliminate the cost of sinful slavery. Sun Wen argued.

"Hasn't Yatsen read the history of the United States in its entirety? If you really haven't read it, you should read it again. Only a simple American would believe that the Civil War was fought to abolish slavery. Yu Zixun shook his head with a sigh. He felt that Sun Wen's knowledge and learning were still too miscellaneous, and in order to prove his point, he arbitrarily cut history.

The fake doctor is always not confident in the face of the real doctor, and after hearing this, Sun Wen no longer argued, he said: "Zixun may be right, but for the sake of the revolution, we must pay attention to propaganda." ”

"Lying for the sake of the revolution will result in more lies to fulfill the previous lies, which is not worth the loss." Yu Zixun said, "And I think that the revolution cannot bring democracy, because it is necessary to form a revolutionary organization with autocracy, and at the same time, this autocracy must be several times more than the opponent for the revolution to succeed." At the time of the Fuxing Revolution, the Manchu court was already in ruins and crumbling, and now it has become a Chinese empire under its rule, which is completely different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”

"Compared with Zixun ten years ago, the current self-honor is really frustrating." Sun Wen said sadly. He thought that he could still get Yu Zixun's support, but he found that his expectations were completely disappointed.

"This is how history is reincarnated, even if there is no revival association, there will be a league association, or some other political party to unify China, as long as it is unified, it will definitely be autocratic, and this is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. Yat-sen hasn't read the newspaper for so long, so she thinks she's unfamiliar with Zhuo Ru. The Libre newspaper, which he runs in Paris, has a number of articles worth reading, in which the paradox of unificationism and democracy is extremely concrete. Chengcheng's previous evaluation of him as a person was right, only in the field, Zhuo Ru can have real insight, once in the court, interests will confuse his eyes, so that he will not do anything but lie. Yu Zixun said.

"The Free Press?" Sun Wen hadn't heard Liang Qichao's news for a long time, and he didn't want him to be in France. He heard Yu Zixun say that Yang Rui had commented on Liang Qichao, and couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Then how did Yang Jingcheng evaluate me?" ”

"Evaluate Yat-sen?" Yu Zixun said with a smile: "He used to have a bad evaluation of Yixian, but then he didn't know why he was good. I didn't hear anything specific in these words, just an intention. ”

The two of them were walking on a dirt road in the countryside, and the sun was not very hot at this time, but it was a little dazzling. When he was walking, a car came on the road in the distance, and the driver seemed to see someone, and frequently 'Didi...... honked the car horn, and a person behind Sun Wen stepped forward quickly and said, "Mr. Sun, we should go back......

Sun Wen was also uneasy about the speeding cars. He had to say to Yu Zixun: "Zixun, just say goodbye here, we will have a date later." ”

After all, Sun Wen is a wanted criminal by the Chinese government, Yu Zixun nodded and said, "Then don't pass by, take care of Yixian!" ”

Sun Wen left in a hurry, and it took several minutes for the speeding car to get closer. Yu Zixun couldn't help laughing when he looked at Cai Yuanpei sitting in the passenger cab. When the car stopped, Yu Zixun pointed to Cai Yuanpei, who was blaming his son for driving too fast, and said, "Xiaomin, you scared Sun Yat-sen away as soon as you came." ”

"Sun Yat-sen?" Cai Yuanpei let Cai Wuji go, looked at Yu Zixun and said, "It's really fake, didn't it mean that he died in Yunnan?" ”

"No, he just shook my hand. More than ten years later, he is still bent on revolution. Hey, what a golden ambition. Yu Zixun said.

"Then what is he looking for you for?" On the weekend, Cai Yuanpei, who bought a car, specially came from New Haven to find Yu Zixun, and he didn't want Sun Wen to be there.

"He didn't say it, but judging from what the two of them said just now, even if he asked me for something, he wouldn't speak again." Yu Zixun said. "In the words of the Confession, he is outdated. Abandoned by the times. ”

"Then you ...... just now" Cai Yuanpei studied aesthetics at Yale after he went to the United States, he is older and has a special status. I study not as an international student, but as a visiting scholar.

"He believes that democracy can only be achieved by insisting on revolution, and I think revolution will only create a more authoritarian government." Yu Zixun said. "In fact, if you look at us now, in the last decades of Manchu rule, the newspapers say that it is not okay, even if it insults Guangxu. There is also a concession to hide, and now, if you want to hide in the concession, you can only jump into the sea and swim across the Xiangjiang River, hehe. It's really ......"

Yu Zixun was smiling bitterly, but Cai Yuanpei said with a straight face: "Zixun, I plan to go back in a few days." ”

"Go back, go back to China?" Yu Zixun was a little surprised.

"yes, I'm going back. The Fifth National Congress is now being held in China, and after that, the third election of the Inspectorate will be held, and no matter what the meeting thinks, I will go back. Cai Yuanpei said. After he finished speaking, he looked at Yu Zixun again, "Zixun, let's go back to China together, Xiao Xu also wants you to go back." ”

"Xiao Xu?" Yu Zixun said. After Zhong Guangguan decided to travel through the mountains and rivers of China, Wang Jitong was appointed as the secretary of the Li Fan Yuan as a Mongolian and Han cultivator, and Cai Yuanpei and himself went back, and the original revolutionary fathers were all here.

"Hanzhang, he may ......" Cai Yuanpei mentioned another thing, his expression was a little gloomy.

"What's wrong with Hanzhang?" Yu Zixun raised his heart, he has not returned to China for several years, and many things are not clear.

"I got sick once in the spring, and although I survived, I still didn't get better. Now that official business is handled by others, the doctor said that he may not be able to pass this autumn......," Cai Yuanpei said. The oldest of the revolutionary fathers is Xu Huafeng, who is forty-four in his sixties this year, but his body is very tough, and some important projects of the Ministry of Industry, such as when Great China Automobile set up a 100,000 assembly plant in the United States last year, he personally went to the United States to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony; And Yu Huizu is fifty and seven this year, and it is said that his health should be good at this age, but no one expected that his body would collapse as soon as he got sick.

"Is it a foreign doctor or a Chinese medicine?" Yu Zixun muttered after being shocked. Although Yu Huizu did not have much contact with him, his feelings were very deep, and Zixun's father died because of quack treatment, so he was extremely hostile to Chinese medicine and did not agree with the so-called quintessence of the country.

"The hospital and Western medicine have said that they can't do it, and there has always been a way, but there is no way to scratch their heads this time." Cai Yuanpei's answer wiped out Yu Zixun's last bit of hope, although several years of pastor career made him accustomed to life and death, but for Yu Huizu, he couldn't let go.

"When are you leaving?" Yu Zixun asked, he was already like an arrow.

"I've already asked people to book a ticket for the next week," Cai Yuanpei said, "If you are traveling together, the two families will go together?" ”

"Okay, I'll go back too, and the whole family will go back." Yu Zixun stroked his finger on the Bible, with his previous plan, things in the United States should indeed be over.

In the past, Yu Zixun was alone when he returned to China, but now he is a family, Cai Yuanpei asked: "If you go back, you won't come back?" ”

"Hmm." Yu Zixun nodded, "I can't stay in the United States for the rest of my life, I have been in the United States for more than ten years, and I have learned what I should learn, and the next thing is to go back to ......" International students often use words such as serving the country and serving the court, but the word service is a derogatory term in Yu Zixun's opinion, and he doesn't want to use it, "The revival will come to this point, and it is indeed going to change." ”

"Change?" Cai Yuanpei said with a smile: "Turning the tide and falling and supporting the building will fall, he has become a living saint, he doesn't nod, how to change, how to change?" And you, Christian, hey......"

At present, the easiest way for the Chinese people to distinguish between Chinese and foreign is to look at the style of clothing, whether they have entered or not entered a foreign religion, and so on, so that they can not distinguish what is the quintessence of the country and what is not, they just need to understand the difference between China and Yi. If a Chinese is still dressed in Western clothes and believes in foreign religion in China, his parents and fellow villagers will not dare to recognize him at all. And Yu Zixun, as a revival member, believes in foreign religion and is going to be expelled from the association, but as one of the founders, he rarely shows his face in China, Yang Rui doesn't know what the reason is that he didn't mention this matter, so he still retains his membership, but he can't do it as soon as he returns to China, and when the time comes, the newspaper will definitely mention this matter, and no one knows what the result will be.

"I became a Christian, just to understand the real American society!" Yu Zixun was powerless to argue, "I want to know how their world and their society are different from us, and it is not enough to read a few articles and books without being a religious believer and not exploring what Americans are thinking." Since the Han Dynasty, Buddhism first spread to Middle-earth, and it was undoubtedly a religion at first, but what happened later? In the Song Dynasty, there were no Confucian scholars and no talk about Buddhism; In the same way, Jesus Christ rejected all foreign things, and the nation was spiritually destroyed. ”

Under Cai Yuanpei's inquiry before, Yu Zixun had explained that he had joined the religion once, and now he couldn't help but be a little excited when he mentioned this matter again. In his eyes, Cai Yuanpei understands him, and as for others, he is arrogant and disdainful to say more. However, Cai Yuanpei sighed that he entered Christianity not because he didn't know him, but because he knew him too well, and he had to say when he was excited: "I'm worried that your status as a pastor will cause resistance and hatred from everyone in the church, even if it is domestic public opinion, it is also extremely contemptuous of the yellow people, after the earthquake in Haiyuan, Gansu Province last year, Chen Youji, who had blindly advocated science, converted to Buddhism and became a disciple of Master Y." In this atmosphere, ......, hey, you can only stay in the Concession Autonomous Region, don't walk around in this costume......"

The earthquake in Haiyuan, Gansu Province in December last year shocked the world, and it is said that even Hong Kong could feel the tremors, and the county town of Haiyuan was razed to the ground. Master Y of Buddhism made a prediction very early, saying that there would be a major earthquake in Qihaiyuan County at the beginning of November of the ninth year of Shenwu, which was the erosion of China by obscenity, especially some people who falsely said that science and blind belief in democracy were angry with the Buddha, so the earthquake was sent to warn.

Shinto Zhang Yuanxu died early, and now only Master Y is left who can predict, originally the belief in things may not involve politics and academics, but this time the monk spoke out to denounce the Westernized elements in China, which provoked Chen Youji, who had retreated to Hong Kong, and Hu Shi and others in the Peking University Hall were furious, and everyone condemned them in the newspaper, and they did not want the monk to publish a response in the newspaper, vowing that if his prophecy was false, he would have to return to the world. Then, ......, Chen Youji, who suffered a major earthquake in Haiyuan, went crazy for several months, knelt outside the temple for five days before the great god Y accepted him as a disciple, and then became a novice; That night, Hu Shih, who was also in Haiyuan, was half-shaken and half-disabled, and could only live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, and many Westernized elements died unexpectedly, and more than 400 million people across the country applauded and called it heaven's curse.

If it weren't for Master Y's lecture the next day when he deliberately clarified the relationship between science and Buddhism, I am afraid that all new schools in China would have closed. It would have been shocking for the school to suffer such a shock, but for those who advocated Westernization, it was almost a catastrophe, not to mention the believers of Christianity in China, and even the Chinese priests who guarded the churches in remote areas have disappeared one after another.

What God, what is Allah, these are liars, only Buddhism and Taoism are manifest learning, can manifest spirit. Since then, the land of China has been dormant, and the name of Master Y has become more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but the monks who have gained this power do not give up, and last month they also said that Japan is being eroded by obscenity and evil more than China, and that there will be an earthquake in Tokyo next year, with more than 100,000 casualties, so that the Japanese government has to completely block the news.
