The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

  Liang Qichao also watched "I Have a Dream", then shook his head and smiled bitterly, his dream had long been broken.

  Liang Qichao was keen on reform and strengthening in his early years, and later he actively assisted Yuan Shikai, hoping that the republican system could save China. However, Yuan Shikai wanted to become emperor, and Liang Qichao conspired against Yuan, and he was involved in endless political disputes.

  The difference between Liang Qichao and Kang Youwei can be seen here. Kang Youwei first called for reform, then supported Yuan Shikai's ascension to the throne, and then encouraged Zhang Xun to support Puyi's restoration, just like a political speculator. And Liang Qichao has only one goal, and that is to revitalize the country. He and Kang Youwei have long since broken up with him, and he even despised his former teacher from the bottom of his heart.

   Liang Qichao's last bright spot in the political arena was to actively support Duan Qirui's declaration of war on Germany despite the opposition of the majority of the country. He used his superb political skills to help Duan Qirui regain his power in Beiyang, so that the "Declaration of War on Germany" was passed by the Congress and China became a victorious country in "World War I".

  Since then, Liang Qichao has stopped meddling in political affairs, he has seen through the essence of the Beiyang government, and has turned his head to study culture.

  Liang Qichao threw away the newspaper, and said to Zhou Hexuan a little disappointed: "China's hope depends on your generation."

"China's hope has always been there," Zhou Hexuan said in a firm tone, "Sir, you are a historian. You should know that all dynasties and dynasties, as long as China's unified dynasty, is bound to be strong and powerful. China's land and population are very different. There, as long as the national education is done well, the speed of development will shock the whole world on the day of national reunification.”

   "Hopefully, I hope I can live to see that day," Liang Qichao forced a smile, got up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see Chief Ren and call Yi Zhong."

   On the afternoon of the same day, Liang Qichao, Zhao Yuanren and Zhou Hexuan met Ren Kecheng, the current Chinese Minister of Education, at the official residence of the Ministry of Education.

   Ren Kecheng is a few years younger than Liang Qichao. He is short and fat. He sways from side to side when he walks. If he takes off those glasses, he will be a real rich man in the countryside. Although he was in a high position, he respected Liang Qichao very much. He personally went to the door to greet him and said, "Hello, Ren Gong, what kind of wind is blowing you here today?"

   "It's natural that the south wind blows in summer," Liang Qichao rarely joked. He turned and pointed at Zhou Hexuan and said, "This is Zhou Hexuan, the name is Mingcheng, and he returned from overseas."

   Zhou Hexuan stepped forward immediately: "I have seen Chief Ren."

   "But Zhou Hexuan who wrote "The Rise of Great Powers"?" Ren Kecheng asked in surprise.

   Well, Zhou Hexuan wrote that book, and even the head of the Ministry of Education knew about him, and writing a book is the quickest way to become famous.

   "It's this gentleman," Liang Qichao said with a smile, "Mingcheng also brought some good things today, so let's see if Zhiqing knows the goods."

   Ren Kecheng asked curiously, "But Mingcheng's new work?"

   Zhao Yuanren took out the new pinyin scheme: "President Ren, please take a look, this is the pinyin method invented by Mingcheng, which is more convenient and practical than the current pinyin scheme."

   Don't look at Ren Kecheng's brain-filled appearance, he doesn't belong to that kind of sloppy bureaucrat. This person is a pioneer of new-style education in Guizhou. He was the governor of Guizhou a few years ago. Later, he got tired of political disputes and simply buried his head in learning.

   Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu reorganized their cabinets a while ago, and Ren Kecheng happened to be living in seclusion in Peiping, but was inexplicably elected as the director of education. He feels that this position is very suitable, because his old job is to engage in education, so he is happy to take office. Historically, the "Mandarin Alphabet Pinyin Law" was promulgated at the end of this year under his impetus.

  Ren Kecheng has a clear distinction between official and private affairs, and there was a clan who wanted to use him for errands, but he was categorically rejected by him. Therefore, there is a saying in Guizhou, called: Ren Kecheng is a good person, but he does not recognize his hometown.

But no matter how knowledgeable and impartial Ren Kecheng is, after receiving Zhou Hexuan's new pinyin plan, he was still embarrassed, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, Mingcheng. If you had come up with this pinyin plan a few years earlier, it would have been great. It is too late, the "Mandarin Alphabet Pinyin Law" has been set."

   Zhao Yuanren asked: "Can we convene the scholars to reconvene and then negotiate?"

   "It's impossible." Ren Kecheng vetoed it.

   Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly, he had long expected this result. Unless the dynasty is changed, his set of Hanyu Pinyin cannot be implemented at all.

   Although he can promote it in his hope primary school, it is a misunderstood child. Because as long as the Ministry of Education promulgates the "Mandarin Alphabet Pinyin Law", all dictionaries and dictionaries in common use across the country must use Romaphone, so students who are taught in primary schools cannot even look up in dictionaries, right?

   rejected Ren Kecheng's retention, and Zhou Hexuan returned to Tsinghua Garden somewhat depressed.

   On the way, Liang Qichao comforted: "Mingcheng, everything can't be satisfactory, it's enough to work hard."

   Zhou Hexuan said: "Mr. Xie taught me."

   "Can Mingcheng have a marriage partner?" Liang Qichao asked suddenly as he walked.

   Zhou Hexuan was taken aback: "Not yet."

  Liang Qichao smiled and said, "Why don't I be a Yue Lao and help you find a lady?"

   "This, let's forget it." Zhou Hexuan shied away.

   "Hahaha," Liang Qichao laughed, "I know, you young people now advocate free love."

   Zhou Hexuan laughed and said, "Look slowly, I'm still young."

Liang Qichao suddenly remembered Xu Zhimo's bad thing, because of his affection, he had already agreed to be Xu Zhimo's witness, and immediately warned: "You can love freely, but you must not destroy other people's marriages, this is extremely immoral. ."

   "Understood." Zhou Hexuan also thought of the Tianjin side, and said in his heart: It has already been destroyed.

  Liang Qichao smiled disrespectfully and said, "That's the daughter of a friend of mine, she is both talented and beautiful, Mingcheng, you really don't plan to meet?"

   "Who is it?" Zhou Hexuan couldn't help asking.

  Liang Qichao said: "The daughter of Duan Zhiquan's family, who is born in the double decade, has a famous name Hongyun, and is also a progressive woman who has attended a Western-style school."

   It turned out to be Duan Qirui's daughter...

   Zhou Hexuan was sweating madly, thinking of Duan Hongye becoming his eldest brother, it really hurts his brain.

  The three returned to Tsinghua Garden. Liang Qichao smiled and said to Zhou Hexuan: "Mingcheng, there is an elegant thing to forget your sorrows. I will teach you today."

   "What elegant thing?" Zhou Hexuan was extremely curious.

   Zhao Yuanren saw that the situation was not good, and said quickly: "I still have something to do, so I will take my leave."

   "Don't go, what can I do without you?" Liang Qichao grabbed Zhao Yuan and refused to let go.

   Zhao Yuanren said with a wry smile: "Don't pull, your sleeves will be ripped off by you."

   Zhou Hexuan became more curious when he saw that the two were behaving abnormally, and followed Liang Qichao to the yard where Wu Mi lived.

  Liang Qichao shouted loudly: "Yuheng, come out to play cards!"

   Zhou Hexuan was speechless for a moment, is this an elegant thing to forget sorrow?

   "What cards are you playing? I'm reading!" Wu Mi's voice came out.

  Liang Qichao didn't care, rushed into the room, grabbed Wu Mi's sleeve and dragged it out: "Playing mahjong, three missing one."

   Liang Qichao at the poker table belonged to Confucius' move--all lost, and his card skills were extremely stinky. But he still enjoys it. He once famously said: Only by reading can you forget to play cards, and only by playing cards can you forget to read.

   That night, Zhou Hexuan won more than 100 yuan, Wu Mi and Zhao Yuanren also won dozens of yuan, only Liang Qichao lost the happiest.

  The image of the erudite Hongru was instantly shattered into scum, and only the bad gambler who had been defeated and fought repeatedly at the poker table remained.

  Well, Zhou Hexuan can still talk to people in the future: I think back then, when I played cards with Mr. Liang Rengong, Zhao Yizhong, and Wu Yuheng...
