1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

hiss....

For a moment, everyone present had the urge to go back and beat up their own children.

Lu Xun nodded with satisfaction:

"Good! Li Huanying, I'm glad you've realized this! However, this road won't be easy. You must be mentally prepared. Also, your parents and family..."

"Do not worry."

Speaking of his parents, Li Huanying's face regained its composure and composure:

"They can't argue with me. If they don't agree, I'll go to my grandfather and plead. If my grandfather doesn't agree either, then I'll do what I want."

(Even after becoming a WHO official, Mr. Li Huanying resolutely returned to his homeland despite the opposition of all his family members who had immigrated to the United States at the time. He remained unmarried throughout his life and devoted everything to the medical profession.)

A staff member who is already a mother could not help but say:

"Girl, I'm not saying that you are still a minor, your parents..."

"I haven't spent a cent of my Lunar New Year money in the past. I've saved it all. It's enough for me to spend for several years. They can't possibly interfere with my decision in this way."

As he spoke, Li Huanying looked at Lu Xun and the others with a smile:

"Besides, I believe you gentlemen will not let me starve or freeze, right? Perhaps you will even give me some scholarships? If my parents object, you will definitely help persuade them, right?"

"

There was silence.

Well, forget it, I won’t beat my child for now. This person may be the kind that gives parents a splitting headache.

However, she will become a doctor who brings immense happiness to the people. Perhaps this is what it means to lose something and gain something...

He Cheng couldn't help but burst out laughing:

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Student Li! Don't worry! Our Ministry of Health will fully support you. We'll arrange for you to intern with the best doctors at a rural health center!"

This little girl is a good candidate for Party membership. Will I be lucky enough to be her Party introducer in the future?

We have to "take action" before others! Deng Zihui also quickly expressed his opinion:

"The Ministry of Urban and Rural Construction will also provide you with all the help you need. We will work hard to improve living conditions in rural areas and make your publicity and medical work more successful!"

We need to hurry up and recruit this little girl into the Party. Well, should we start by introducing her to the Communist Youth League? We have to find a way to keep this a secret from the others.

As for Lu Xun, his expression suddenly turned serious: "Student Li Huanying."

"Mr. Lu Xun?"

"I also studied medicine and went to Sendai Medical College in Japan. My teacher at the time was Fujino Yanjiurō. Although he didn't study abroad, he was a very good doctor..."

"At that time, I thought medicine could save China, but later, I saw a video of Japanese soldiers executing a Chinese man in Northeast China. The Chinese onlookers had numb expressions and no intention of resisting..."

"So, I believe that medicine is not a very important matter. Weak and foolish people, no matter how healthy and strong they are, can only serve as pointless spectators and exhibition materials..."

"What can save China is not medicine, but literature and spirit. Studying medicine cannot save the Chinese people..."

Lu Xun rarely talked about his experience of studying medicine and switching to literature. Li Huanying listened carefully. She knew that Lu Xun's words were not only for her, but also a reflection and affirmation of his past choices.

"...But now, I think I was wrong. Medicine and literature are not mutually exclusive. They are both part of saving China. Studying literature can save the Chinese people, education can save the Chinese people, and studying medicine can certainly do the same!"

This former doctor was now showing an excited expression, encouraging the younger generation who were destined to shine in the medical field and were countless times better than himself:

"Student Li Huanying, you must study medicine to learn how to save their bodies, and you must also study literature to learn how to save their spirits! I believe you will become a great person! A great doctor who serves the people!"

"I will...I will be attentive to your instruction!"

Not long after, a short, very young-looking girl appeared in a health station. She always wore a white coat that didn't fit her well. She followed the local barefoot doctor, Li Shuzhen, walking through the villages regardless of the mud.

At first, everyone thought it was Dr. Li's daughter who had skipped school. Some even planned to report her to the town government. But later on, they found out that she was actually sent by the Ministry of Health!

Ministry of Health?

He's so young, yet he's an imperial envoy?

Are they so short of manpower over there? Or are they sending them here as apprentices?

But soon, no one dared to look down on this little girl. Instead, they all respected her, just like they respected Li Shuzhen, who was good at gynecological and pediatric diseases.

On the one hand, the town government sent special personnel to each village and informed everyone in a very serious manner that this Dr. Li was the "future imperial physician" hand-picked by His Highness!

It goes without saying how famous Fujiwara no Kaneshiro was in the rural areas of Northeast China. This move directly shocked all the bachelors who had evil intentions when they saw Li Huanying's pretty face, not to mention that there were several soldiers from the 129th Division guarding her from afar, both openly and secretly.

On the other hand, this little girl was truly kind. Not only did she, like Doctor Li and the town health promotion team, explain health knowledge to them in detail, she even gave money to the poor who couldn't afford medical treatment and sent them to Harbin Hospital for treatment!

If you don't protect such a good girl, you will be struck by lightning!

Li Huanying knew nothing about this and didn't care at all. She even mistook the soldier for a village guard. She just studied silently and was the first one to arrive at the health station every day to organize medicines, clean, and read books to prepare for her studies and medical work.

"Xiao Li, you're here so early again?"

"Good morning, Teacher Li!"

Li Huanying bowed respectfully to the ordinary-looking middle-aged female doctor and spoke directly:

"What are we learning today?"

"You, always pushing yourself so hard..."

Li Shuzhen smiled and tapped Li Huanying's eyebrows, deliberately scolding him a few words, but in her heart she was extremely satisfied with this disciple.

He is kind-hearted, hardworking, modest, prudent, quick to learn, approachable, and not afraid of hard work...he is simply the template of a perfect doctor.

After only one month, he had memorized the "Barefoot Doctor Manual" by heart and had initially mastered most of the treatment methods in it, but he just lacked practice.

"Okay, today, we will officially start learning Chinese medicine. Well, I won't teach you the theory for now, I will only teach you the most practical Chinese herbal medicine."

"...OK."

Li Shuzhen noticed that Li Huanying's brows subconsciously frowned. She remembered the letter that Minister He of the Ministry of Health had written to her and asked with a smile: "Xiao Li, I heard that you have some prejudice against traditional Chinese medicine?"

"...Well, to be honest, it was like this in the past. I thought Chinese medicine was a scam, so I only believed in Western medicine."

"Oh? What about now?"

Li Shuzhen was not angry.

In the past few decades, she has seen too many people with such views, and too many charlatans who claim to be practicing traditional Chinese medicine. She was even almost beaten up for exposing the charlatans.

"Now, I feel that there is no difference between Chinese and Western medicine." "No...difference?"

"Well, someone once told me that there's no such thing as Chinese medicine, Western medicine, Tibetan medicine, or Sanskrit medicine. The only medicine that matters is constantly correcting mistakes, perfecting oneself, and focusing everything on saving lives."

Li Huanying said generously:

"Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine differ only in their methods of saving lives. Medicine is all about curing illnesses and saving lives. As long as it can cure illnesses and save lives, it is good medicine. Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine can save lives at a lower cost, which is very important for poor people."

(Now it feels the other way around. Traditional Chinese medicine is so expensive. A simple Chinese herbal prescription for a cold costs me two or three hundred yuan. Western medicine is much cheaper. Of course, in addition to issues with industry, scale, and talent, it also has something to do with government subsidies.)

"The person who told you this truth is a person of great wisdom and kindness. You are a very good child for being able to accept this truth so quickly."

Li Shuzhen touched Li Huanying's short hair with relief: "Okay, come with me to the backyard!"

"Um..."

While learning to identify Chinese herbal medicines such as mugwort and honeysuckle and remembering their medical effects, Li Huanying still remembered the tragedy he saw in the leprosy village.

Indeed, I am unable to save anyone now, and can only watch you die of illness;

But sooner or later, I will give new life to those who suffer from the same disease as you!!!

526 is here to trick the boss again

After making preliminary arrangements for Teacher Kobayashi and classmate Li Huanying, Lu Xun continued his inspection tour.

Thanks to Ding Ling's last misstep, Lu Xun suddenly became the most famous "Chinese who approached Lord Fujiwara of Northeast China" in the entire Five-Star Eastern Republic and even in the entire East Asia.

In short, those who lean north. Loyal! Sincere!

Considering that his identity had been completely exposed anyway, and coupled with his approval of Fujiwara Kanezane's ideas and his absolute trust in him, Lu Xun simply "threw the jar" from then on.

On the one hand, he continued to write letters to a few close friends and celebrities, inviting them to visit the Northeast, study, do business, and even join the official departments of the Republic. This was the so-called "recruiting talents."

On the one hand, he worked diligently as Director of Education, doing his best to complete every task within his purview, helping the Republic's education cause to develop rapidly, which is what is called "building the nation";

On the one hand, he began to use his own powerful influence and lofty status to supervise the work of other departments, write articles to criticize all matters he disliked, and even personally punish the evildoers. This is the so-called "rectification of internal affairs."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that by doing this, Lu Xun offended "people who thought he was a traitor", "traitors who thought he was one of their own", corrupt officials, and the nascent Northeastern bureaucracy.

It goes without saying how hateful this is.

In order to ensure Lu Xun's safety, Fujiwara no Kanezane always had two guard teams of no less than 20 people each and a secret guard hidden in the shadows around him.

By the way, these people are elites trained by UMP40 and agents in turn, and at least five of them are veteran Red Army soldiers transferred from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Inspired by ideals, nurtured with generous salaries, bound by gratitude and restrained by discipline... one can imagine the capabilities and strength of this unit and the degree of its devotion to duty.

It is no exaggeration to say that even Fujiwara no Kanezane's own human guards could not achieve this level. Only the guards of Chen Fei and Zhao Ziqi could barely compare to them.

Therefore, no matter how Lu Xun complained, these guards performed their duties conscientiously and made ensuring Lu Xun's absolute safety their top priority.

"Sir, the restaurant has been inspected and there is nothing unusual. You can go in."

An ordinary-looking guard reported to Lu Xun in a low voice, and the latter sighed helplessly:

"I'm telling you guys... well, forget it, I won't say anymore. Thank you for your hard work."

Lu Xun knew that no matter how many times he said it, these people would retort him with words like "Your life and safety are of immeasurable value to the country and the people."

"It's not hard, it should be."

The guards made way for him, and Lu Xun stepped into the restaurant called "Jinjiang Xiaozhu", which was said to have just opened in Dalian.

Although the restaurant is called "Xiaozhu", it is not simple, but exudes an elegant charm. The decoration combines traditional Chinese and modern elements, simple yet elegant.

Several ink paintings hung on the wall, the calligraphy powerful and vigorous, clearly the work of a renowned artist. The overall style didn't resemble a traditional restaurant in Northeast China or Japan, but rather exuded a touch of the charm of the Jiangnan water towns, even a touch of... worldliness?

interesting.

Lu Xun came here not for food, drink and fun, but to experience firsthand the business environment of Dalian, a city that is some distance away from major cities in Northeast China and too close to the influence of Japan and the Kuomintang.

He meant, of course, to conduct a secret visit, to have as much contact with ordinary people as possible, and he also concealed his features and sat in a remote corner of the lobby, intending to listen to the people's discussions;

But before he could even sit down and order his food, a beautiful woman in her early thirties with an oval face and a cheongsam appeared in front of him, speaking in a soft Jiangnan dialect:

"Mr. Lu Xun, I've long heard of your great name. It's truly an honor to meet you today." "...Do you know me?"

"My name is Dong Zhujun. I've been hanging around in Shanghai for many years. I just came to Dalian and opened this Jinjiang Cottage to make a living. I never expected you to visit me. It's truly fate."

The woman bowed slightly and invited:

"Sir, the lobby is not a place to talk. Can we go to a private room?"

When Lu Xun heard the name "Dong Zhujun", his heart moved. Who is this person?

A former famous prostitute in Shanghai.

The reason why she is famous is not only because she is beautiful, kind-hearted and good-hearted, nor is it just because her husband is Xia Zhishi, a famous revolutionary who once served as the governor of Sichuan.

Moreover, she was born in a slum, her father was only a rickshaw driver, and even had to sell his daughter to a brothel to be a prostitute due to illness, but she eventually became a famous female entrepreneur in Shanghai;

By the way, she is the founder of the Shanghai "Jin Jiang Hotel" and the later "Jin Jiang Hotel Chain Group". She lived until 1997 and witnessed countless historical events.

How can I describe it? She is a character who is just like the heroine in the movie "The Sky Collapses". Even if she can reach her current status, it is inseparable from her husband. She is truly a woman who is as good as a man.

"So it's Boss Dong. I've heard a lot about you. I'd be honored to meet you."

Seeing his "old friend", Lu Xun smiled slightly, bowed in return, and the two of them walked into a private room on the second floor together.

"Boss Dong, you're new in Dalian. Are you adjusting well? Is your business going well? Are you being harassed by corrupt officials or hooligans? Is there anything we can help you with?"

These questions made Dong Zhujun stunned for a few seconds before she smiled and answered:

"It really is Mr. Lu Xun... Thank you for your concern. Although Dalian is different from Shanghai, the people here are simple and honest, and life is quite convenient. I'm new here, and everything is going smoothly..."

In fact, it was more than smooth, it was too smooth.

Several incidents in Shanghai caused panic among the people. Although the Kuomintang, Soong Ching Ling, the Communist Party of China, and the Americans were all trying to stabilize the situation, many people heard that the Northeast would be more peaceful and stable, and they all ran here to "make a living."

Dong Zhujun did the same. After a personal investigation, she decided to open a branch of "Jinjiang Sichuan Restaurant" in Dalian to test the waters. If the situation was good, she would open a few larger stores in Shenyang and other places.

When she first arrived, she went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Market Supervision and Administration Brigade to handle business procedures. She bribed people according to the rules and regulations of Shanghai, and it was a very secretive "elegant bribe".

As a result, several staff members were frightened as if they had seen a ghost. Their originally warm attitudes suddenly became as cold as ice, and no one was willing to say a word to her.

After some explanation, Dong Zhujun realized that the staff mistook her for an undercover investigator from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and thought she was there to lure someone into a trap.

This surprised Ms. Dong greatly.
