Everyone knows the revolutionary Chen Tianhua's "Fierce Return", a junior high school textbook with few words, and today I will post the full text, which is still easy to understand in the vernacular, and can only be described as shocking and deafening. The author is knowledgeable, insightful, and brilliant. Without our current network, Chen knows a lot about world history, and what is even more valuable is that he does not read dead books and incisively summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of other countries. Even the enemy emphasizes Xi, unlike in our time there are still a group of diehards who scoff at the good things of the outside world.
This is not only a revolutionary, but also a thinker, a writer, by today's standards, absolutely known. It's a pity that there is no hope of saving the country, there is no way to serve the country, and he committed suicide and martyrdom. Note that it gradually goes into the sea and submerges, which shows its despair and mortal heart.
One of the reasons for the suicide was the disagreement between the "Rules for the Prohibition of Foreign Students in the Qing Kingdom" issued by Japan and the revolutionary party. Chen Tianhua left a 3,000-word desperate letter, hoping that through his death, the influence of this incident would be expanded and the people of the country would be awakened, and in fact he did it.
In 1903, Chen Tianhua in Japan published the book "Fierce Return" in Tokyo Publishing House, Japan, in which he repeatedly mentioned that Japan was endangering China, and somehow, it could still be published in Japan. It may be that Tsarist Russia is mentioned more often. Zhao Erxun, the governor of Hunan, once preached Chen Tianhua's blood book in various schools in Hunan in public Xi about Russia's invasion in the northeast. There is also ** who is willing to marry a daughter to this dangerous revolutionary, which shows Chen's talent, as well as the current situation at that time, which is already surging and surging.
However, Chen Tianhua never married, he was a noble and pure revolutionary, so strong, which also laid the groundwork for his suicide and martyrdom.
During the same period and in the later period, there were many revolutionary aspirants living in Japan, including Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, Qiu Jin, Li Dazhao, etc., and even Chiang Kai-shek, Yu Dafu, Guo Moruo, Lu Xun, etc.
This also made me wonder about the attitude and intentions of the Japanese ** at that time. As far as I know, Japan did not completely indulge the actions of the revolutionaries, but it did not suppress them either. Could it be that they want to use them against the West, especially Tsarist Russia?The greatest enemies of that era were the Manchus and Tsarist Russia. In April 1903, Tsarist Russia unreasonably violated the "Sino-Russian Treaty on the Settlement of the Three Eastern Provinces", refused to implement the second phase of the withdrawal of troops, created an excuse, sent troops to Andong, reoccupied Yingkou, and put forward new demands to the Qing **, in an attempt to realize its ambition of permanently occupying the three northeastern provinces.
Then the Russo-Japanese War broke out, and the Qing court led the wolf to drive the tiger, laying the foundation for the later Japanese invasion of China.
The opinions in the article show that after 120 years, most of the Chinese people, not to mention ordinary toiling people, even those who have received modern education, and most of the scholars who have studied for 16 years cannot keep up. Readers may pay special attention to the insights on the Gengzi Revolution and the Boxer Rebellion. Whether he defined the Boxer or not, as a contemporary at that time, knew the real Boxer better than we do. Interestingly, Zizhulin was defeated, and there were still royal painters who painted "Dong Fuxiang's Tianjin Victory Map", which had more than a dozen pictures in the First Sino-Japanese War, all of which were victories of officers and soldiers until the soldiers signed a contract and surrendered under the city.
* Looks laborious, I'm excerpting part about 1 30:
Who knew that two hundred years ago, he was oppressed by that faint king and thief, and he was the same as I am now. The French province is only one or two provinces in China, but there are 130,000 nobles, all of whom are in cahoots with the king, and abuse the people like mud and dirt. During the Ming Dynasty, there was a great Confucian in France, named Rousseau, who was born to save the people of the world, and had the ambition to help the weak and suppress the strong since he was a child. and Chang, he wrote a book called "The Covenant of the People". ”
Out of a Boxer. This Boxer has a very good mind, but there are a few big disadvantages, not using practical skills, relying on that evil art. This evil art is a false story in **, **reliable?So he bumped into the foreigner and gave his life in vain. And not to distinguish between good and ugly, to offend all countries. I don't know that there are those who have enmity with us and those who have no enmity with usAlthough we hate foreigners very much, we have no choice but to be soldiers in response to the enemy, and we must not provoke without reason. Speaking of the siege of the legation and the burning of the main hall, he is especially ignorant. Since ancient times: the two countries compete with each other, and do not cut them off. I killed his envoy for no reason, so that he might have something to say. We want to kill foreigners, and we should kill those foreigners with thousands of troops and horses, not those useless foreigners. If their army and horses come, you are afraid of him, and their merchants and priests, you will kill himThe Boxers did not take advantage of this reason, so they caused a great disaster and harmed our China to the point that they could not go up or down, and the Boxers really were the sinners of our China. ”
Isn't it the United States that is the most egalitarian and freest of all the nations, and who is called Elysium?Rank!You must know that this world is not easy to do. This America was originally a wasteland in North America, and since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, several people from Britain have gone to open up the wasteland, and since then there have been more and more... Britain had no choice but to allow it to establish itself as a country and proclaim Washington as king. Washington insisted on complying, saying: How can a country that everyone worked so hard to build be the private property of one person?Because of the system of democratic states, the whole country was divided into thirteen states, and one of the thirteen states was appointed as the general commander for a four-year term, and after retiring from office, he was the same as the common people. If the person is good, he can stay in office for another four years, and after eight years, he can not remain in office. ”
Chen Tianhua (1875-December 8, 1905), formerly known as Xiansu, Zixingtai, alias Sihuang, was a native of Xinhua, Hunan, and an outstanding thinker, propagandist, revolutionary, and leader of the bourgeois revolutionary faction in the late Qing Dynasty in China.
In the spring of 1906, when Chen Tianhua's coffin was transported back to Shanghai, the China Public School held a public funeral meeting for him and Yao Hongye, another member of the League who committed suicide by throwing himself into the Huangpu River, and it was decided to send Chen Yao's coffin back to his hometown of Hunan for a public funeral.
On May 23, the teachers and students of the schools in Changsha City, regardless of the obstruction and destruction of the Qing court, dispatched to the funeral of Chen and Yao, the number of people exceeded 10,000, and the mourning procession was more than ten miles long, and the students were all dressed in white clothes.
The two founding leaders of the Republic, as the younger generations, were also deeply enlightened and influenced, and our generation must not forget them.
