Chapter 473 If We Forgot to Struggle

When he saw the student union president Du Ziming, who was in shock and fell silent, Yin Xiaochuan knew that he had won a complete victory in this war with his huge advantage of 1 point.

Yin Xiaochuan walked to the side of the results announcement board and faced all the students. He had something to say.

"Classmates, please allow me to say a few words!"

"Since the first day I shouted the slogan of 'struggle' despite the world's disapproval, someone has been telling me, 'Don't fight, fighting is wrong, isn't life good now? Cherish the hard-earned life now, don't fight, and don't cause trouble for the collective anymore.'"

“Yes, many aspects of life may be really good, many people can feel the benefits brought by development and are very satisfied with everything in life!”

"But have you noticed? Under your peaceful life, someone is gradually taking advantage of you, while the whole society is always giving in little by little!"

"In places you don't know, in those people who have lost their 'voice', many people have silently endured to the limit and have been forced to fight!"

"Some people say they will give in, they will give in, and they will give in to us!"

"But you should realize that their concessions are not because they are kind. It is because those who have been forced into a desperate situation have fought before, so they are afraid, so they will make concessions, and they will use concessions to quell the resistance and make you stop fighting!"

"Che Guevara once said, 'After we leave, they will build schools and hospitals for you and increase your wages. This is not because they have a change of heart or because they have become good people, but because we have been here!'"

“So, they will only give out of fear, and never give voluntarily!”

"Can civilization bring a happy life? Can development bring a happy life? Neither can. Under the powerful background of industrial civilization, the most cruelly oppressed are precisely those farmers who have lost their land and workers who work 14 to 16 hours a day!"

"All the changes in our beautiful life are precisely the traces of our struggle! They are afraid, terrified! They are afraid of our struggle, so they choose to compromise and choose to become 'good people'!"

"But if we forget, we forget the struggle!"

"What they can give you now, they can take away bit by bit without mercy after you give up the struggle! What they want is never a harmonious society, but to be high and mighty, to be the best, to satisfy their own selfish desires of being eternal slave owners!"

"So, comrades!"

"We must fight! We must fight! Never forget the struggle!"

"Remember, we were not born to be enslaved! We were born to fight for our own liberation!"

"A person's life should be spent in this way: when he looks back on his past, he will not regret wasting his years, nor will he be ashamed of his mediocrity. When he is dying, he can say: My entire life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world - the struggle for the liberation of mankind."

"Comrades, when we unite and fight together! When we grasp the correct ideas! When we fight for our ideals!"

"The whole world will change for us!"

"We will build a truly harmonious society where everyone can be happy!"

Yin Xiaochuan came to the door of the principal's office, pushed it open and walked in. Principal Xu had been waiting inside for a long time.

"I guessed you might come to see me," said Principal Xu, "but you haven't won yet, have you? You will only win if at least two-thirds of the people hand in blank papers in the next exam, right?"

"—the important thing isn't actually to hand in a blank paper, is it?"

Yin Xiaochuan raised his head and his eyes met with Principal Xu's. Yin Xiaochuan continued:

"It doesn't really matter whether you hand in a blank paper or not. It never mattered."

"What really matters is what the people think, right? Principal, I win!"

Principal Xu was slightly shocked and sighed, "Oh, I didn't expect that you, Xiaochuan, are so sharp now. You grasped the real crux of the problem right away. I like sharp people. Yes, you are absolutely right!"

"It doesn't matter whether you hand in a blank paper or not. What matters is the people's support. You win!"

"Then Ogawa-san, have you ever thought about what you should do after winning?"

"Of course... I plan to build on the existing system..."

Principal Xu suddenly interrupted Yin Xiaochuan and said with a smile: "Since Xiaochuan has thought about it, it will be easy. Now, I declare that you are the principal! Principal Yin~Okay!"

"Based on the average score of the last monthly exam, I will give you corresponding resources in the ratio of 4, 6, and 1. If you can improve this average score by 10% in the next monthly exam, I will give you another 10% of resources, and vice versa."

"Besides that, everything else is up to you. You can give these resources to whomever you want and distribute them however you want. Mr. Ogawa, no, Principal Yin, I look forward to your performance!"

“Ah! …Ah?”

Student Yin Xiaochuan opened his eyes wide.

No, you really want me to be the principal!

"I just want to change the system, I don't want to..."

"Don't be polite! Mr. Ogawa, this is the reward you deserve for your victory! I just renovated this office this year. It is decorated with pure natural materials and has no formaldehyde pollution. I like it very much. Now, it is yours! I like this seat even more. Unfortunately, it is yours now!"

"...What are you doing after I've done everything?" Yin Xiaochuan asked.

"As the principal, or rather, as an ordinary citizen, I also have things to do. Your war has been won, and my war also needs a victorious outcome. I am also very busy!"

Principal Xu, oh no, commoner Xu stood up, walked to Principal Yin, and kindly pulled Yin Xiaochuan to the principal's throne, and forced Principal Yin's shoulders to make him sit down.

"Is it comfortable?"

“…It’s a bit comfortable, eh, that’s not right!”

Yin Xiaochuan raised his head and looked at the civilian Xiao Xu. Just as he was about to say something, he found that the civilian Xiao Xu had already walked out humming a little tune and walking happily as if he was taking a stroll.

Outside, golden sunlight poured down on the civilian Xiao Xu. Xiao Xu squinted his eyes and looked at the sky lazily. The spotless sky was as clear blue as a gem. A faint fragrance came from the air. It turned out that the peach blossoms planted in the school were blooming.

Ah, this mountain!

Ah, this water!

It’s so beautiful!

Ordinary citizen Xiao Xu felt as if he had unloaded a heavy burden and was strolling happily in the fresh and natural air.
