The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Just as the women's swimming competition was about to start, there was a sudden movement in the direction of the entrance of the Central Stadium.

A team of gendarmes with guns and ammunition cleared the way. Chang Kaishen and Song Meiling walked to the auditorium by the swimming pool together. Officials and referees of the sports meeting stood up to greet them.

The voice of a female announcer came from the radio: "Warmly welcome our great leader, Mr. Chang Kaishen, Chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, to come to the sports meeting to watch the games in person... Chairman Jiang personally took command and led the heroic soldiers of the national army. , achieved a phased victory in the fifth bandit suppression...Long live the great Generalissimo Jiang!"

Zhou Hexuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the fifth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression" had already begun, and the 25,000-mile Long March was coming soon.

At this time, Chang Kaishen was full of ambition and full of enthusiasm. He brought Soong Meiling to the front row of the auditorium, stood and waved in all directions, and then sat down and said, "Everyone, let's continue the competition!"

The women's 50-meter freestyle group competition started at the beginning. After several consecutive group competitions, the athletes did not have a good rest, and immediately started the 50-meter freestyle final.

This kind of competition process is obviously unreasonable, and it is very unfair to the athletes who participate in the group stage later. But today's sports industry is relatively backward, not to mention the Chinese National Games, even the Olympic events are all kinds of unreasonable, and everyone is accustomed to this.

A Hong Kong athlete named Yang Xiuqiong soon won the women's 50-meter freestyle championship.

Then came the 100-meter backstroke, 100-meter freestyle, 200-meter backstroke, and 200-meter relay. These events were so tightly arranged that they had to be completed in one day. Some athletes who have participated in multiple swimming events have not had a good rest at all and are about to start the next competition immediately.

But even so, Yang Xiuqiong still won five gold medals, won all the championships in women's swimming, and broke all domestic records in women's swimming.

The entire venue was a sensation, Yang Xiuqiong was only 15 years old!

Chu Minyi, Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan, temporarily changed the award presenter. When Yang Xiuqiong won the fifth gold medal, Chu Minyi came to the stage to present the award to Yang Xiuqiong in person. After the game, Chu Minyi personally played the role of coachman, escorting Yang Xiuqiong to the government residence in a carriage.

Why send Yang Xiuqiong to the government residence?

Because Chang Kaishen and Soong Meiling wanted to host a banquet for Yang Xiuqiong in person.

In fact, this is easy to understand. Chang Kaishen had made some progress in "suppressing the bandits" just now, and he was immersed in the joy of victory. As soon as he returned to Nanjing to watch the competition, he saw a 15-year-old girl who won all the gold medals in swimming and broke all Chinese records.

Under such circumstances, Chang Kaishen naturally liked the athlete Yang Xiuqiong very much, and even regarded him as his lucky star, or a living "auspicious".

During the banquet, Chang Kaishen and his wife greeted Yang Xiuqiong and asked about her daily training situation.

When he heard that Yang Xiuqiong did not stop training in the cold winter months, and was still exercising his will in the seawater of a typhoon of level 10, Chang Kaishen was in a happy mood. In front of many officials, Chang Kaishen strongly praised Yang Xiuqiong as a model athlete, and promised to reward Yang Xiuqiong on the spot. Zizhu brand sedan.

Not only that, Song Meiling also offered to accept Yang Xiuqiong as her goddaughter.

All the officials immediately became enthusiastic, toasting and congratulating Yang Xiuqiong one after another. This is the rhythm of a daughter becoming a princess.

The Propaganda Department of the Central Committee was also quickly put into operation. The next day, major newspapers across the country reported on Yang Xiuqiong's deeds, and the nickname "Southern Mermaid" spread like wildfire.

Zhou Hexuan looked at the newspaper and couldn't help laughing, while feeling sad for Yang Xiuqiong's fate.

The goddaughter of Chang Kaishen and Song Meiling, this name is indeed famous, and most people have to be used to it. But if you encounter a powerful warlord, it is a completely different matter.

Four years later, Yang Xiuqiong was married to another athlete, but when she participated in the competition in Chongqing, she was favored by Sichuan warlord Fan Ha'er. Regardless of the face of Chang Kaishen and Song Meiling, Fan Haer forced Yang Xiuqiong to divorce, and then accepted her as the eighteenth concubine.

At that time, Yang Xiuqiong was only 19 years old, and she had just won the eight-athlon championship in swimming at the National Games, which was the rising period of an athlete's career. If you continue to train hard, given time, maybe you can get an Olympic medal.

Yang Xiuqiong's whole life was ruined after being forced to marry by Fan Ha'er as the 18th concubine. In order to escape Fan Haer's claws, she deliberately became addicted to opium, and became haggard, without her former youthful beauty.

Fan Ha'er finally got bored and allowed Yang Xiuqiong to leave her. From then on, Yang Xiuqiong no longer participated in the competition, but changed her career to become a reporter, and lived in Canada in her later years.

It's just a goddaughter, so Chang Kaishen naturally doesn't care, and it's even more impossible for Song Meiling to stand up and help speak out.

The warlords in the Republic of China didn't have many good things. Even a loyal person like Fan Ha'er would ignore human life on a whim. Fan Ha'er's loyalty is only his own, and has nothing to do with morality.

When he was down and down, Fan Haer could lead people to rob property, and return the property to the victim after he became prosperous. He felt that he was very benevolent in this way. When Fan Haer needed money, he could cooperate with Du Yuesheng to sell opium, use the money to arm the army, and lead the army to fight against Japan. He also felt that he was speaking of national righteousness.

As for whether the people who were robbed and the people who smoked opium lost their families because of this, Fan Haer didn't bother to care about it.

Why did Zhou Hexuan acquiesce to Nan Hanchen's development of party members in the editorial department of "Fei Gong"?

It is because he extremely loathes the rule of the Nationalist Party and the current chaotic situation, and wants to contribute to the development of the Communist Party.

When he just crossed, to be honest, Zhou Hexuan still had a little illusion about the Nationalist Party and warlords. But as he got a deeper understanding of this era, he felt more and more clearly that only the Communist Party can save China.

In the ten years since the establishment of the Communist Party, there were indeed many mistakes, which are a manifestation of the immaturity of the party. But now that the Long March has begun, it is not far from Taizu's real power, and he will soon be reborn from the ashes.

Zhou Hexuan stayed in Nanjing until the end of the National Games, and then invited athletes from various provinces to have a meal. He planned to set up a "China Sports Fund" to support and help the development of sports in various provinces.

Among other things, if Chinese athletes can win medals in the next Olympic Games, it will definitely be exciting. This kind of excitement seems useless, but in fact it is very valuable. It can improve the spirit of the people and even strengthen the determination of the Chinese people to resist the war for a long time.

The Chinese can win medals in the Olympics, why can't they drive away Little Japan?

Is this logic ridiculous?

No, it's very solid, it's a shot in the arm.
