Zheng Shuhua and Zhao Shijie actually wanted to go too.
Their research content is obviously more suitable there.
However, the two decided to wait and complete their machine tool research first. In a sense, this was Zheng Shuhua fulfilling the wishes of her late husband, Professor Wen Ronghui. Furthermore, the research was progressing rapidly, and results would likely be available by next summer.
Of course there will be new developments in the future, but that can be left to newcomers.
Xia Shijie sighed deeply after hearing their words. "Over the years, we've lost more than just Professor Wen Ronghui. We've lost many talented people in every field."
But this matter is very complicated, and the conflicts of interest and the game behind it cannot be explained in a few words. He truly understands the suffering of the grassroots people and truly wants to build a country for the people. He wants to completely eliminate the accumulated problems and build a new society where the country is prosperous and the people are also prosperous.
I can only say that the original intention was good, but the country is too big, and too many people came in to stir up trouble. A group of people with ulterior motives and boldness sought various benefits and power from it, and the truly honest people were harmed.
Xia Shijie told them, "I welcome you whenever you come. I will prepare everything you need for your research at the military region."
"Okay." Zheng Shuhua and Zhao Yingjie agreed solemnly and expressed their gratitude to him.
Xia Shijie felt very embarrassed and stood up to say goodbye, with a little intention of running away.
Intellectuals who are dedicated to the country and the people and have simple minds should enjoy good treatment, instead of being like they are now, suffering a lot and still feeling frustrated and having to stay in this small place.
There are bad people among the intellectual community, but not all intellectuals are bad. The scope of the attack is too broad. Moreover, struggle is everywhere, and there is no unity among intellectuals.
Take Pan Changqing, for example. He was persecuted and hasn't been rehabilitated to this day. This is, in part, due to the suppression he incurred by his colleagues. Most of those persecuted in 1958 had their names removed by the early 1960s. Those persecuted in 1966 gradually resumed their work starting in 1971. Some have been rehabilitated, while others haven't, but their situations have improved significantly. For example, Zheng Shuhua and Zhao Yingjie, who were severely criticized initially, have now been rehabilitated.
What about Pan Changqing? He was overthrown in 1958, and he was not included in the subsequent rehabilitations. This is certainly related to the overall environment, but the more important point is that he is remembered.
He was initially overthrown largely because he and his boss had different ideas and could not work together. He was engaged in academic research, while his boss was engaged in political movements. The two of them, one was the leader and the other was the vice-chairman, and their views on school reform were completely opposite.
At that time, Pan Changqing had not yet realized the change in the situation and was still speaking freely and enjoying freedom of speech. As a result, tragedy occurred.
Pan Changqing was actually a veteran, but he was more upright. He hadn't anticipated the other party's actions and was caught off guard. If he had been prepared, or if he had been more ruthless, the situation might not be what it is today.
Xia Shijie came and went, which had no impact on the experts here. They found a rare tranquility in Taoyuan Commune and had let go of many of the things that had happened before.
I have experienced life and death, so what else is there to be unhappy about?
If they could turn back time, back to decades ago, to the moment when they made their original choice, they would still choose to return to their homeland. The line "Why are there always tears in my eyes? Because I love this land so deeply" speaks to the hearts of so many people!
Back then, they went abroad to study in order to serve their motherland after graduation. This was their original intention, an original intention that they can never and will never forget!
On the way from the commune to Liushutun, Xia Shijie only said one sentence: "When will this day end?"
Wang Zhensheng said, "It's almost there. If you look closely, order is being restored and the situation has improved a lot. After all, the people want to live a good life."
☆
A fragrance wafted through the air above Liushutun.
As soon as he entered the brigade, Xia Shijie sniffed and asked, "What's that smell? What's good to eat?"
Xie Yun: “…”
Instant noodles flavor.
Spicy pork ribs noodles.
It smells quite good.
"It must be a new food created by our educated youth Ren. This will be our food factory's flagship product in the future."
Xia Shijie: "You don't even know what it is, and you're already a flagship product?"
"I just know it."
Xia Shijie said, "Is this what we're going to eat today?"
Xie Yun: "I don't know how much they made. If they made a lot, we can eat it. If they didn't make much, we can only taste it. You should go to Secretary Yang's house for dinner."
Xia Shijie: "...You really don't regard me as a leader!"
Xie Yun retorted, "How could that be? I simply thought too highly of you as my leader, and I know you're a superb leader, so that's why I said that. What kind of consciousness do our leaders have? They don't take a single needle or thread from the masses, they don't cause any trouble for them, they set an example, and hold themselves to the highest standards. In my heart, you're such a good leader. I absolutely cannot make demands on my comrades or cause trouble just because you're here. That would be a disgrace to you."
Xia Shijie thought for a moment and said, "You're right! Oh, actually, my awareness is still not high enough. Look at me, sometimes I unconsciously put on a bit of a leadership air. I just asked you if you regarded me as a leader. Doesn't that mean you think you're superior to others in your heart? This is wrong. I need to reflect on it."
