Chapter 368: Being Beaten
Wang Yuanchao sighed and said,
"Uncle Lu, I said yes, but you must not get angry and beat me up."
Lu Guojia looked at Wang Yuanchao more seriously and said:
"Who dares to make the army a monolithic entity now? Moreover, the reformists have been unable to protect themselves in recent years.
Are you asking me to do this because you're afraid that I'll die too slowly?
You dare to give such a fearless suggestion, why are you afraid of my anger?"
Wang Yuanchao saw Lu Guoguang getting angry, but he was not afraid. Instead, he sat on a stone on the ground, took out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to Lu Guoguang, lit it up and took a puff, then sighed and said, "Uncle, the sun is about to set."
Lu Guoguang didn't understand at first. He looked up at the afterglow in the sky and was annoyed. So he lowered his head and scolded him angrily: "You kid, stop talking nonsense to me. Don't interrupt me and speak quickly."
Wang Yuanchao took two puffs of his cigarette without saying anything. Instead, he looked at Lu Guoguang meaningfully. Lu Guoguang looked into Wang Yuanchao's eyes and came back to his senses after a while. He slapped Wang Yuanchao on the head in anger, "You little bastard, you are really looking for death. Is that something you can say?
I'll beat you to death."
Wang Yuanchao is now a master of Hua Jin. If he doesn't want to, Lu Guoguang will never be able to beat Wang Yuanchao . However, Lu Guoguang is his elder after all, so Wang Yuanchao did not resist, but let Lu Guoguang slap him on the head.
You have to know that Lu Guoguang was a Red Guard who joined the army and is a veteran revolutionary.
He is a veteran who has accompanied the Party in the war against Japan, the civil war between warlords, the war of unification, and the war against North Korea.
He knew what the old society was like.
I also deeply know that the people of our country have waited for 5,000 years for a teacher to appear. It was under his leadership that our country narrowed the gap of more than 200 years with Western countries in just a few decades.
The earth-shaking changes made the people of this country, who had never stood up before, truly stand up. The people of this era, including Lu Guoguang,
The worship, faith and love for the teacher cannot be described in words. Even those who oppose his policies can only criticize the teacher for engaging in personality cult in their previous lives.
Wang Yuanchao's implicit metaphor just now had already greatly offended Lu Guoguang, violated Lu Guoguang's taboo, and crossed Lu Guoguang's bottom line, so Wang Yuanchao really did not deserve the slap he received just now.
But after beating Wang Yuanchao, Lu Guoguang did not come back to his senses. Instead, he stood there in a daze, looking confused, obviously shocked by Wang Yuanchao's remarks.
The sky gradually darkened, and Wang Yuanchao knew that it would take Lu Guoguang a while to digest what he had just said.
Slowly, Lu Guoguang, who had kept his strong body straight for many years, bent down slowly, sat down on the ground, smoking without saying a word.
When it was really dark, Wang Yuanchao saw that Lu Guoguang still had no reaction, so he sighed and said:
“Birth, aging, illness and death are the natural laws that no one can escape.
Throughout history, which emperor or general did not want immortality?
But who has ever done it?
Although he is in good health now, he is already so old that he cannot escape the laws of nature. It is just a matter of time.”
After hearing what Wang Yuanchao said, Lu Guoguang shouted at him with a ferocious look on his face: "Stop talking. It's impossible. It's absolutely impossible. The country can't do without him. The people of the country can't do without him. It's absolutely impossible."
Wang Yuanchao was actually very upset and felt a little depressed. After all,
although society was poor now, after more than 20 years of development, industrialization had basically begun to develop across the country.
According to the development plan, industry will soon be able to subsidize agriculture, and everyone will have a good life. But unfortunately this world is so fucked up. Alas, the wheat has ripened thousands of times, but long live the people the first time.
Wang Yuanchao also lowered his head with a depressed look and stopped talking.
After a while, Lu Guoguang sighed and said, "Alas, Yuan Chao, do you know how many years it took our country to drive out the imperialists and abolish all the unequal treaties signed between the imperialists and us? Since 1840, it has taken more than a hundred years.
We have just ended the humiliating history of enslavement and invasion. If there were no teachers, what would happen to our nation?
It’s going to be hell.”
Wang Yuanchao lowered his head and sighed:
"The city is filled with blood and grief, but I only want to save the people.
The greatness of teachers needs no further explanation and is beyond doubt.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his reputation during his lifetime and after his death, destroying his own halo.
And he started this war now. With his achievements and greatness, he could have faced the end as a perfect man in human history. Alas! "
When Lu Guoguang heard this, he stood there in a daze, looking quite sad. After a while, he sighed and said:
"It's just a matter of different ideas about governing the country. It shouldn't be that serious, right? You know what? Although I lived in the cowshed for so many years, I never felt resentful. On the contrary, I am very grateful to the old man, to the party and the country, for bringing hope for prosperity to our nation and our people.
And everything is booming today.
We are even more grateful to the martyrs of our country who fought bravely and shed blood, allowing all of us in our nation to stand up straight and live our lives as human beings.
Compared to them, the little grievances I personally suffered are nothing. "
Wang Yuanchao could resonate with this plot, but people cannot stay in the past and must continue to look forward, so he raised his head and said: "Yes, all of us ordinary people are grateful from the bottom of our hearts for everything we have now. Uncle Lu, what do you think of our country's current policies and the theories of governance that the reformists insist on ?"
After listening to Wang Yuanchao's question, Lu Guoguang realized that this was also a question he had been thinking about. After thinking about it, he said, "After spending so many years in the Red Flag Brigade, many of my views have changed.
Now, I think no matter what the policy is, as long as it can make the country strong and prosperous, the people happy, and the people can afford to eat, it is a good policy. As long as it can make the people rich, I support it. This is why I can accept joining the reformists. "
Wang Yuanchao nodded seriously and believed what Lu Guoguang said.
After all, the Party and the country have educated everyone to serve the people wholeheartedly for so many years, and Lu Guoguang still has a strong idea of serving the country and the people wholeheartedly.
But Wang Yuanchao knew that Lu Guoguang still underestimated human nature and the temptation of sugar-coated bullets.
