(translation)
The Japanese call us China, first the boss empire, then the boss empire. This title is probably inherited and translated from the words of Europeans and Westerners. What a pity! Is China really the boss empire? Liang Rengong said: No! What is this! What is this! There is a young China man in my heart.
If we want to talk about the country's young and old, let me talk about the people's young and old first. Old people tend to recall the past, while young people tend to think about the future. I feel nostalgic because I recall the past; Because thinking about the future, there is hope. Because of nostalgia, so conservative; Because of hope, so enterprising. Because it is conservative, it is always outdated; Because of enterprising, so update every day. As he recalled everything he had experienced in the past, he only knew how to do things according to the routine; Because thinking about the future, everything is new to him, so he often dares to break the rules. Old people are often worried, and young people often like to have fun. Because of more sadness, it is easy to lose heart; Because you want to eat, drink and be merry, you have strong anger. Because of setbacks, so timid; Because it is lush, it is magnificent. Because of cowardice, I can only bear it; Because it is grand, it dares to take risks. Because persistence will definitely lead to the demise of society; I can create the world because I dare to take risks. Things that old people often hate and things that young people often like to do. Because of boredom, I often feel that everything in the world can't be done; Because I am good at doing things, I often feel that everything in the world is impossible. Old people are like the sunset, and young people are like Chu Yang. Old people are like skinny old cows, and young people are like newborn tigers. The old man sits like a monk, and the young man likes to flash. Old people are like explanatory dictionaries, while young people are like lively operas. Old people smoke opium and young people drink brandy. Old people are like saying goodbye to the planet and falling into a dark meteorite, while young people are like coral islands proliferating in the ocean. Old people are like pyramids standing in the desert of Egypt, and young people are like the continuous railway in Siberia. Old people are like willows after autumn, and young people are like grass before spring. Old people are like the Dead Sea, which has gathered into osawa, and young people are like the beginning of the Yangtze River. These are the general situations of the differences between the old and the young. Liang Rengong said: People are different, so should countries.
Liang Rengong said, Sad boss! The pipa girl at the head of Xunyang River is like a bright moon hovering around an empty boat, maple leaves rustling in the autumn wind, and the quilt is as cold as iron. When it was as dreamy as a dream, she recalled enjoying the beautiful taste of the autumn moon in the bustling world of mortals in Chang 'an. In the cold Taiji and Xingqing Palace in Chang 'an, the white-haired Gong 'e sat opposite each other under the colorful lights, chatting about the past of Kaiyuan and Tianbao years, and composing the colorful feathers popular in the palace that year. Zhao Ping, who planted melons outside the East Gate of Chang 'an, teased the children in front of his wife, recalling the grand occasion of singing and dancing and scattering pearls at the heavily guarded back door. Napoleon was exiled to the island of Elba and Arabi was imprisoned in Sri Lanka. He talked with three or two guards or people who came to do good deeds about the great achievements of galloping alone in the Central Plains with daggers, sweeping across the land of Europe, fighting bloody battles in seaports and buildings, and shocking and frightening the world. At first, he patted the table happily, then patted his thigh and sighed. Finally, he glanced at himself in the mirror. What a pity! My face is wrinkled, my teeth are falling out, my white hair is like a treasure, and I am old! Like these people, there is no other thought except melancholy, and there is no other world except misery; There is no other spiritual sustenance except depression, no sound except sighing, and nothing but waiting for death. Beauty and heroes are still like this, not to mention ordinary mediocrity? All my relatives and friends have been buried in the grave; Depend on others for daily diet. Today is a muddle, so you can't know what will happen at once. Just muddle along this year, where is the leisure to think about next year? Nothing in the world is more frustrating than the boss. For such a person, can we hope that he has the means to win the clouds in the sky, reverse the skill of Gankun and cross the sea with his back?
It's really sad Is China really the boss empire? Looking back today, Yao, Shun, Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, what wonderful politics; What heroes Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wudi were; How prosperous literature has been since the Han and Tang Dynasties; Kangxi Qianlong's martial arts are so grand and noble. What historians describe and record, and writers eulogize heartily, is not the beautiful scenery and happy history of our national youth! Now I'm old! Cut five cities yesterday and ten cities tomorrow. There are no rats and birds everywhere, and chickens and dogs disturb them every night. The land property of the whole country has become the fat of others' arms; 400 million brothers and sisters became slaves in other people's books. Isn't it just like the Romans, who finally married herself to a businessman? Sadly, please don't talk about the past, the aging and haggard time can't bear to witness! Like a Chu prisoner waiting to die, he died alone and dying. It can be said that the country has become a country waiting to die and the people have become citizens waiting to die. Everything has reached the point of helplessness, and it is not surprising that everything is left to others to play tricks on!
Liang Rengong said: Are we really the oldest empire in China? This is a big problem on the earth today. If it is the boss empire, then China is the country of the past, that is, this country originally existed on the earth, and now it has gradually disappeared, and the future fate is probably almost over. If it is not the boss empire, then China is the future country, that is, this country has never appeared on the earth in the past, and now it is gradually developing and has a bright future. If you want to judge that China is the boss today? Or a teenager? You must first understand the meaning of the word "country". What is the so-called country? That is, those who own land and those who live in this land govern their own affairs, formulate their own laws and abide by them; There is also sovereignty and obedience. Everyone is sovereign and everyone is law-abiding. If this is done, it can be called a country worthy of the name. Only in the last hundred years has a veritable country appeared on the earth. Completely worthy of the name, it is the prime of life. It is a teenager's business to fail to fully qualify and gradually evolve into a veritable one. So I can judge them in one sentence: European countries are in their prime today, and we in China are in our youth today.
In ancient China, although there was a name of a country, there was no form of a country. Either home is the country, or the princess is the country, or the feudal princes are the country, or the monarchy is the country. Although the types are different, in a word, there is a part of the system that the country should have, and the other part is lacking. Just like a baby changes from an embryo to a child, one or two of his body organs are the first to develop and take shape, and the rest are basically available, but they have not been able to get its use yet. Therefore, before the Tang and Shun Dynasties, it was the budding era of our country, while the Yin and Zhou Dynasties were the breastfeeding era of our country. From Confucius to the present, it is childhood. It has gradually developed, and now it has begun to enter adolescence above children. The reason why his development and growth are so slow is the result of the obstruction and suppression of his vitality by thieves in previous dynasties. Just like childhood illness, it looks like aging. Some people even suspect that their death is coming, but they don't know that they have not fully grown up. There is no real reason. This is not about the past, but about the future.
Besides, in China's past, where was there a so-called country? But there is only one court! I, the Chinese people, have lived and stood together on this earth for thousands of years. However, when I asked the name of this country, there was no name. The so-called Tang, Yu, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing are just the names of the court. The so-called court is the private property of a family. The so-called country is the property owned by the people. There are old and young dynasties, and there are old and young countries. Since the court and the country are two different things, it is obvious that the old and young of the court cannot be used to refer to the old and young of the country. Zhou Wenwang, Wang Cheng and Kang Wang were the boyhood of the Zhou Dynasty. Wang You, Wang Li, Huan and Zhou Wang are the old times of the Zhou Dynasty. The era of Gaozu, Wendi, Jingdi and Wudi was the boyhood of the Han Dynasty. The era of Zhiyuan Emperor, Pingdi Emperor, Huan Emperor and Lingdi was the old Han Dynasty. Since the Han Dynasty, there has never been a dynasty without adolescence and old age. It is ok to call all these things an aging court, but it cannot be called an aging country. A court aging will die, just like a person aging will die. What does it have to do with what I said about China? Therefore, we in China have just never appeared in the world before, and now we are just beginning to sprout. How vast the world is, how vast the future is, and how beautiful my young China people are!
Ma Zhini is the first of the three outstanding Italian men. He was sentenced to state affairs and fled to other countries. So he set up a club called "Young Italy". People with lofty ideals all over the country responded to him in a fog. Finally, the old country was reunified and revived, making Italy a powerful country in Europe. Italy is the largest empire in Europe. Since the fall of the Roman Empire, the land of the whole country belongs to the Pope, but the regime belongs to Austria, which is probably the so-called aging and dying country. But if there is a Ma Zhini, the whole country will become a young Italian, and China is really in its youth! With more than 400 states of land and a population of 40 million, there can't be a person like Ma Zhini!
There is a poem in Gong Zizhen's collection of poems, the title of which is "Youth Travel that Can Make Your Duke". I used to like reading it and enjoying its meaning. If our people say that their country is the boss, then it really becomes the boss; We citizens all know that our country is a teenager, and that is the real teenager. There is a folk proverb in the west that says, "There are three-year-old men in the world and a hundred-year-old child in the world." Then, there is no definite form for the country's old and young, but it does increase or decrease with the change of the strength of the people's hearts. I have seen that Ma Zhini can turn its country into a juvenile country, and I have witnessed that officials and scholars in China can turn the country into a boss empire. That's what I'm afraid of Young China people, so magnificent and elegant, are unparalleled in the world, which makes Europe and Japan call us the boss empire. Why? This is because all the people who hold state power are the elderly. I have to memorize stereotyped writing for decades, write papers for decades, be an emissary for decades, earn a salary for decades, hand in famous posts for decades, sing songs for decades, kowtow for decades, and seek peace for decades, otherwise I will definitely not be an official or promoted. Among the 100 people who hold the positions of minister and deputy minister or above in North Korea, about 967 people have no facial features. He is blind or deaf, his hands are shaking, his feet are lame, or he is paralyzed by the wind. He can't handle food by himself, can't walk, can't see, can't hear and can't talk, but he has to rely on three or four people around him to survive. Let him take on state affairs like this, and let them erect countless puppets to rule the world. That's different! Besides, those guys, since he was in his prime, had no idea where Asia and Europe were, when Emperor Taizong of the Emperor Gaozu was emperor. They also think that he is stupid, rigid and corrupt, and he must be rubbed and cultivated. When his brain has dried up, his blood vessels have been blocked, and his life is dying, and he is a neighbor of a dead fool, he will save my country in Wan Li with 400 million lives. How pathetic! Boss empire is really the boss! And those of them, who have accumulated stereotyped writing for decades, lost money, became policemen, got paid, used notebooks, sang a song, kowtowed and paid their respects, and went through all kinds of hardships. They just got the name of the Central Temple, and Dan Ding was the official uniform of Hualing, so they spent all his spirit and life's strength to keep it. Just like the beggar who picked up a gold ingot, although there was thunderous thunder hovering overhead and his hands were still clutching his purse, nothing else was his concern, his desire to know or his desire to hear. At this time, you tell him that he is going to die, so split up. How can he listen to the news with you and still believe it? Even if I'm really dead, I'm really divided up. I'm seventy and eighty years old this year, but I only hope that within a year or two, if foreigners don't come and robbers can't afford it, I'll live happily all my life! If you have to, you will cede two or three provinces and present them with your hands as a sign of congratulations and salute in exchange for my yamen; Why not sell millions of people as slaves and redeem my desperate efforts? What's so hard about it? What a pity! Today's so-called old queens, ministers, veterans and officials, their means of self-cultivation, family management and world peace are all here. The west wind makes people grow old all night, and the ending is white. Let impermanence become a doctor and carry a reminder with him to celebrate his birthday. Oh, how sad! How can we govern the country in this way? I'm even afraid that he will die before he is old.
Liang Rengong said: It is the sin of China's aging and decaying people that caused China's aging and decay today. It is the responsibility of the younger generation in China to create the young people of China in the future. What can those old and decadent people say? Their farewell to this world is not far away, and we teenagers are newcomers and will become attached to this world. Like the renter, we will move to another place tomorrow, and we just moved into this house today. For people who are going to move to other places, it is human nature not to take care of the windows of this room and clean the courtyard corridor that governs this house. What's surprising? For young people like us, the future is vast and far-reaching. If China becomes a slave to cattle and horses, only our teenagers will have to endure the cruel experience of cooking, slaughtering and flogging. If China dominates the world and the earth, then only our teenagers can enjoy the honor of giving orders and looking around; What does this have to do with those dying old people who will live next door to you? If they are indifferent to this problem, they can make sense. It will be unreasonable if we treat this problem coldly. If the teenagers in the whole country really become full of vigor and vitality, then China, as a future country, will certainly make great progress. If all the teenagers in the country are getting old and decadent, then China will become the same country as before, and its demise will come soon. So today's responsibility lies not with others, but with us teenagers. Our country is smart when teenagers are smart, rich when teenagers are rich, powerful when teenagers are strong, independent when teenagers are independent, free when teenagers are free, progressive when teenagers are advanced, superior when teenagers are superior to Europe, and superior when teenagers dominate the world. The red sun has just risen, full of sunshine; The Yellow River emerged from the ground and surged. Hidden dragons leap from the abyss and fly with scales and claws; Little tigers roar in the valley, all animals are afraid of panic, male falcons flap their wings and the dust flies high; Strange flowers have just begun to breed buds, brilliant, bright and lush; General Gan's sword has just been sharpened and glistened. The sky above us and the earth below us have a long history vertically and a vast territory horizontally. The future is vast and the days ahead are infinitely long. Beautiful, my young China people, will always be with heaven and earth! Great, my China boy, will live with the motherland forever!
