After arriving at Hunan Third Normal University, Uncle He devoted himself to his study. Besides studying all kinds of books in class, he also read a lot of progressive extracurricular books and periodicals. On a sunny Sunday, He Shukai and his classmate Jiang Xianyun went to a bookstore in Zhengxiang Road, Hengyang City to buy new books. He Shu browsed the shelves and asked the boss if there were any new youths. The boss told him with regret that all the new young people who had just arrived were sold out, and there were some old books left over from last year.
"I also read new youth among old books," said He Shu. The boss took out a stack of old magazines from the bookcase upstairs in the house. He Shu with Jiang Xianyun a local turn up. In the first half of last year, when he saw the article "Sports Research" written by a painter named Twenty-eight in Volume 3, Issue 2, his heart lit up. Is this 28 th painter the student who recently issued a "dating notice" by Hunan No.1 Normal University? Could it be that he also wrote this article? He Shu thought of this and read the article carefully. Sure enough, the article is well written. He handed the magazine to Jiang Xianyun: "Look, the 28-year-old painter profoundly expounded the relationship between sports and enriching the people and strengthening the country. The understanding of strengthening national sports has surpassed the understanding level of ordinary people! " After listening to the congratulations, Jiang Xianyun read the article carefully and was moved by its viewpoint.
"This 28-year-old painter is great!" Jiang Xianyun sighed at He Shu on his way back to school.
"It's him. I hope I have a chance to meet him. " He Shu had the idea of making friends with 28 painting students.
That night, Uncle He was in the dormitory, and he reread two articles, namely, the Notice of Asking for Friends and Sports Research. Excited thoughts can't be calm for a long time. Making such friends is a blessing in life! Waving a paintbrush, he wrote a letter to Mao Zedong, whom he had never seen before. The letter said: reading Mr. Wang's "Sports Research" is very unique and has benefited a lot. It makes us students deeply understand the importance of sports. Seeing his extensive friends, Mr. Wang wants to meet you. I hope I can become like-minded friends in the future, and I hope I can balance them once and fulfill my wish.
A few weeks after this letter was sent out, the author named 28 painters to reply to Uncle He. This letter tells him that his name is not 28 painters, but his real name is Mao Zedong, also known as Runzhi. He is studying in a provincial normal school and is about to graduate. As for the article he wrote, he was glad to get your praise. Regarding the meeting, I will stop by Hengyang to interview you during the summer vacation. When He Shu read the letter, he almost stopped jumping for joy.
1965438+In July 2008, the Third Division of Hunan Province had a holiday and immediately became very quiet. At this time, only a few students, How Shu and Jiang Xianyun, stayed at school to review their lessons. * * * According to the agreement, after meeting Mao Runzhi, they will return to their hometown. That night, the scorching sun had just set. Uncle He came out of the canteen after dinner. Suddenly an old captain came over and said, "There is a tall young man outside who wants to see you."
"Looking for me, could it be the man named Runzhi?" He Shu came to the school gate with the guard. As soon as he stepped on the threshold, he saw a tall and handsome young man coming into his eyes.
"Are you ..." Uncle He was about to ask when the young man walked by and introduced himself. "You are He Shu's classmate, right? My name is Mao Runzhi, and I am a writer with 28 artists. This time I'm going to Shuikou Mountain to have a look and see you at school. "
"alas! You are run's brother. I am writing to congratulate you! I didn't expect you to really come, "He Shu said, holding Mao Zedong's hand tightly with both hands. Although it was the first time we met, our joy and reverence were beyond words. He led Mao Zedong into his dormitory and immediately informed Jiang Xianyun to meet other students. Mao Zedong informed everyone about his study in the First Division of the Province, and also told the news of the victory of the Russian October Revolution last year. All the people present were very excited and surprised to hear this. "It seems that China is going to take the Russian road." Jiang Xianyun first expressed his views.
"In this respect, Mr. Li Dazhao of Beiping has already made an introduction," Mao Zedong said. At this moment, He Shuping suddenly remembered something and asked Mao Zedong: "I read a news in the newspaper recently that you and He Shuping, Cai Hesen and others organized a Xinmin Society. Is that so? "
"I came to Hengyang to find you just for this matter. In April this year 14, Cai Hesen and I organized 13 people in Changsha, mainly to gather comrades and create a new environment for * * * activities. Anyone who is interested can participate. " Mao Zedong said, everyone applauded. He Shu signed up in the name of He Yanzhou. That night, Mao Zedong spent the night in He Shu's dormitory.
The next day, He Shu invited Mao Zedong to visit his home, and Mao Zedong readily agreed. So, the two of them had breakfast in the street snack bar, came to the riverside pier and took a small fire boat to Shouzhou Village. When He He once saw his son bring a strange classmate to their home, they warmly welcomed him. He Shu took Mao Zedong as his brother and took Mao Zedong to visit the forest and pastoral vegetable fields near the village. In the play, after listening to Mao Zedong's exposition, he was deeply infected by Mao Zedong's profound knowledge and personality charm. I feel from the bottom of my heart that I have made a good friend and a good mentor.
Mao Zedong stayed at Uncle He's home in Shouzhou Village for one night, and went to Shuikou Mountain the next day. Uncle He personally sent Mao Zedong to Jiaohe Wharf to board the ship. When shaking hands at parting, Mao Zedong said to He Shu, "After I return to Changsha this time, I am going to Beijing with Cai Hesen, mainly to prepare for studying in France. I'll write to you then. " He Shu watched the boat leave the dock and go downstream, instantly causing waves in his heart ... After seeing Mao Zedong off, he returned to the Third Division of Xiang Army. Since he met Mao Zedong, a vast world seemed to reappear in front of him, and China's unchangeable view was deeply engraved in his mind. He Shu spent the whole summer vacation in the library and dormitory.
It is the beginning of another semester, and Tang, Qu Zijian and Peng Qifu get together again. Besides studying formal extracurricular activities in class, they also exchanged some extracurricular new books and newspapers, such as New Youth and Labor Weekly. After watching it, they often gather on the beach by Xiangjiang River to bask in the sun and talk about their experiences. For some things that can't be said, they write them on the beach with small sticks. Once someone passes by, they are skillfully erased by hand. Therefore, some students who don't know the truth call it the "sand meeting". In fact, it is a secret organization, How Uncle and Jiang Xianyun's "Student Union". They held a small gathering on the beach with few people coming and going, and discussed how to advocate science, oppose superstition and blind obedience, advocate vernacular Chinese and criticize the old feudal style. How to innovate current politics and combat feudal abuses. Among the members of the student union, He Shu was praised as "iron mouth" by the students. He is eloquent and is often moved by his gentleness, quotations and Kan Kan's long speeches. A month later, Uncle He, eager to go to Beiping, received a letter from Mao Zedong. The letter said that he and Cai Hesen were going to work-study programs in France, and now he is staying in Peiping University (now Peking University) as a librarian, attending lectures and assisting the librarian, Mr. Li Dazhao, in managing books. He hoped that He Shu would leave as soon as he received the letter. In addition, when passing through Changsha, bring him a sweater vest. He Shu was very happy, asked for leave from the school leaders and took a small fire boat to Changsha. The next day, I found Mr. Yang Changji's home and told Yang Kaihui about Mao Zedong's consignment of sweaters and vests. Yang Kaihui received a letter from Mao Zedong, put the knitted sweater vest in a small bag and handed it to Uncle He.
In the afternoon, He Nu left the Yang family, found Xia in the first division of Xiang Army, and boarded the bus bound for the north. Along the way, two young people came to Beiping with the desire to pursue the truth of life. According to the address written in Mao Zedong's letter, I found a small hotel near Peking University. After asking, He Shu and Xia had to wait until they went out. It was getting dark, and the residents in the nearby hutong began to light lamps for dinner, but Mao Zedong hasn't come back yet. Just as they were anxious, a tall young man in a blue robe came in from the outside. He Shu looked at it carefully, it seems that it was Mao Zedong.
"Brother of embellish! You kept us waiting so hard! " He Shu shouted. Hearing this, Mao Zedong happily put down his umbrella and held Uncle He in his arms: "I estimate that you will arrive in these two days. I have rented the house and three people live together. " Say that finish, led He Shu and Xia to a small attic. This is a small house of 10 square meter, facing south, with a small table by the window for eating and writing. Three wooden beds occupy most of the room. Although the room is narrow, it is clean.
"I will live on it, save money and take care of each other." Mao Zedong smiled and pointed to the bed. Immediately, I was carrying a wooden bucket. I took a bucket of hot water downstairs, divided it into three parts, and took turns washing my cough.
"Tomorrow, I'll take you to see Mr. Li Dazhao who lives in the campus dormitory." Tell Uncle He and Xia at dinner.
"We have long wanted to see Miss Li," said He Shu excitedly. That night, he gave Yang Kaihui's luggage to Mao Zedong and fell asleep. The next day, he and Mao Zedong went to the office of Li Dazhao of Peking University. After being introduced by Mao Zedong, Li Dazhao warmly shook He Shu's hand and said, "Welcome to our class. I contacted the teachers of philosophy department and literature department. I finished the formalities today and will come to class tomorrow. "
Uncle He saw that Mr. Li was kind and enthusiastic, and he didn't have the airs of a university professor. He admired him from the bottom of his heart. Since the second day of junior high school, He Shu has been officially assigned to the Department of Literature and the Department of Philosophy. The good teaching atmosphere and profound knowledge in the university have opened He Shu's eyes. He swam into the vast sea like a fish in a small pond, sucking the dew of knowledge. During this period, he also used the rich collection of Peking University Library to read many books about progress at home and abroad, and constantly enriched his knowledge. Sometimes, He Shu reads in the library. When he is hungry, he bites a corn-corn head and swallows it with tap water. When Mao Zedong sees him, he often reminds him: "Uncle He, you should pay attention to your health. The devil is waving to you! "
Uncle He replied with a smile, "No, the prince of hell wants to be fat, and I am as thin as oil and water." Then they burst out laughing at each other.
Despite Mao Zedong's concern and reminder, he is still thirsty for knowledge and persistent! One Sunday, Uncle He came to Peking University Library again. When he was leafing through newspapers and magazines, he suddenly saw an article written by Lu Xun published in the morning paper, entitled "My festival is fierce", and sat down and read it carefully.
"Well written! It's so well written! " He Shu saw it and praised it loudly from the bottom of his heart. Just then, a handsome young man with glasses next to him saw Uncle He's excitement and asked, "Uncle He, what articles do you admire as an old pedant?" When He Shu saw someone asking him, he turned around and saw that Qu Qiubai used to be a reporter reading books. They met in this library a few days ago. They often exchange ideas together and share the same views on society, life and reality. They met here again today.
"Qu Qiubai, look at this article. Mr. Lu Xun's analysis of women's chastity in China is so spicy that readers can open their eyes. " He Shu excitedly talked about the views and contents of the article. Qu Qiubai listened, took the newspaper from Uncle He and read it from beginning to end. His eyes flashed with surprise: "Teacher Zhou's article is really good. "
"What Mr. Zhou, he is Lu Xun!" Uncle He is busy correcting.
"Mr. Zhou is Lu Xun, and I know him very well." Qu Qiubai said frankly.
"Do you know him very well? Where is he now? " He Shu was surprised to hear that Qu Qiubai and Lu Xun knew each other very well.
"Mr. Lu Xun lives nearby, not far from here," Qu Qiubai told He Shu.
"oh! That would be great. Will you take me to his house tomorrow? " Uncle He begged.
"Ok, I'll wait for you at the school gate after breakfast tomorrow." Qu Qiubai readily agreed. The next day, there were light snow particles in the sky and the cold north wind was blowing. He Shu and Qu Qiubai came to Lu Xun's residence alone. After knocking at the door, Lu Xun warmly welcomed them in. Before Qu Qiubai sat down, he pointed to He Shu and said to Lu Xun, "Mr. Zhou, he fell at his feet. His name is He Shu, a native of Leiyang County, Hengyang, and now he is an auditor in Peking University. "
"Hello, please sit down and have tea." Lu Xun warmly held He Shu's hand and personally poured boiling water for the two young people. After Lu Xun was busy, he sat down and asked Qu Qiubai, "Why didn't the librarian come?" Hearing this, Qu Qiubai couldn't remember who Lu Xun was asking. Uncle He quickly sent a wink to Qu Qiubai: "Mr. Zhou must be talking about my fellow brother Run."
"He was busy in the library today, so he didn't come." He Shu replied.
"Well, I met him once during the lecture. I wonder where I live? " Lu Xun said. He Shu wrote down the hotel address of Mao Zedong on a manuscript with a pen and gave it to Lu Xun. Lu Xun took it, smiled and nodded to He Shu and Qu Qiubai, saying, "You young people are very nice, talented and ambitious, especially the one in the library (referring to Mao Zedong). In the future, you will be his helper at most. I can't be wrong about people. I don't believe it, I can see it later. " Both He Shu and Qu Qiubai were deeply impressed by Lu Xun's humorous remarks. He is a master of literature. When it comes to literature and the corruption of Beiyang warlords, every sentence hits the nail on the head. The three men talked happily all morning. Lu Xun left two people for dinner. Uncle He and Qu Qiubai are also welcome. They have lunch with Lu Xun. When he left, Lu Xun sent them out and said to Uncle He, "When you go back, give my regards to your hometown and come to my place for dinner when you are free." He Shu nodded in agreement.
At noon that day, Uncle He returned to the rented hotel and met Mao Zedong. He Zhu relayed Lu Xun's words to Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong was very happy, so the next day, he brought a philosophy book written by Russell and went to Lu Xun's house with Uncle He. Lu Xun warmly received Mao Zedong. During the conversation, Lu Xun found Mao Zedong, and everywhere he went, he took books with him, which was very appreciated.
After this meeting, Uncle He and Mao Zedong became frequent visitors to Lu Xun's home until the end of their study and life. 19 18 At the end of the year, Uncle He returned to Leiyang with a bundle of books bought from Beiping. 19 19 Spring, Uncle He got together to talk about state affairs in the bell tower of Hunan Third Division.
"Yes, I wonder if we can negotiate successfully in China at this Paris Peace Conference." He Shu took Jiang Xianyun's words and said anxiously.
"It depends on the government of our country." Jiang Xianyun attached behind said. He Shu shook his head: "I think the government is so corrupt, incompetent and unreliable. Only we can get up and work hard for it. " At this point, Uncle He suddenly remembered something and whispered to Jiang Xianyun, "Will our sand be renamed?"
"What name should I change?"
"Let's call it a' soul club'. If we want to transform ourselves and transform our China, we must be connected with each other and be new and United. " He Shu expressed his thoughts.
"Good change!" Jiang Xianyun clap your hands, shout. That night, Uncle He wrote a letter to Mao Zedong who returned to Hunan from Peiping, telling the idea and plan of establishing a "heart club". 19 19 Summer, the Paris Peace Conference failed, which was exactly what He Shu and others expected. Then, on May 4th, patriotic students in Peiping were aroused and held a large-scale demonstration.
At the beginning of June, the Provincial Federation of Students sent He Shuheng to Yancheng to guide the work. He Shu and Jiang Xianyun established the Southern Hunan Students' Federation on 17 with the members of the "Heart Society" as the backbone. He Shu was elected as the director-general of the Southern Hunan Students' Federation. As a result, a huge revolutionary prelude was officially opened in various counties in southern Hunan.
That night, He Shu and Jiang Xianyun held a backbone meeting of the Southern Hunan Students' Federation to study the deployment work. Decided to launch a student strike in 25 counties in southern Hunan, and quickly launched a Japanese goods inspection campaign. After Uncle He finished his work, it was already dawn.
"Congratulations, you haven't slept for several consecutive nights. Don't give a speech in the street today. Rest in the dormitory! " . Jiang Xianyun saw He Shu's red eyes and said with concern. "no! Today is the first day. I can't stand by and let's go! Let's go shopping together. " Regardless of fatigue, He Shu took Jiang Xianyun to Zhengzhou Road, the most prosperous road in Hengyang, and began to give a speech to people coming and going. Because of his clear spoken English and inspiring reasoning, he suddenly caught people's attention and stopped to listen. At this time, someone has reported to the reactionary authorities in Hengyang, and immediately sent someone to inform the school department that students are strictly prohibited from giving speeches, posting slogans and distributing leaflets in the streets. When the person in charge of the school rushed to Zhengxiang Road, more and more people gathered here, and the person in charge of the school could not enter to dissuade him. Seeing that the situation could not be stopped, Zhang's eagle dogs immediately sent dozens of military and police officers to ride angrily to the crowded crowd. People fell to the ground one after another, the injured people and students were trampled by horseshoes, and there was blood everywhere, which was terrible. Under the cover of everyone, He Shu quickly left the scene. They can't go back to school. In fact, the school has gone on strike as planned. They temporarily hid in the home of a classmate in the city and continued to direct the student movement in southern Hunan. 19 19 autumn, the Third Division of Hunan Province, which was suspended for one semester, resumed its former lively scene, and the warlord Zhang was ousted by the Hunan people. People's faces began to brighten up. He Shu went to Changsha at the end of July and learned that Mao Zedong was preparing to set up a cultural bookstore. This is the first time they met after breaking up with Peking University. After a while, Mao Zedong got down to business.
"Congratulations, bro, I have a suggestion for you. To revitalize the national spirit and improve the cultural quality of the whole nation, we must strengthen cultural propaganda. I am now preparing for the cultural bookstore, which is expected to open at the end of August. I suggest that you can also set up one in Hengyang. How about I supply books and newspapers? "
"good! With your support, I will do well. " He Shu immediately bid farewell to Mao Zedong and returned to Hengyang by boat. When he entered the school gate, he met Mr. Jiang Xiaoqing, a Chinese teacher. Because they are all Leiyang people, they are familiar with each other.
"Hello, Teacher Jiang!" He Shu said hello politely. Jiang Xiaoqing smiled and nodded and said, "class will begin today. How did you report it? "
"I went to Changsha for something and was delayed for a few days." He Shu said.
"I'm going to go through the entrance formalities," Jiang Xiaoqing said, and turned to go. He Shu suddenly shouted, "Teacher Jiang, I have something to ask you for help."
"All right. Come and talk in my room. " Jiang Xiaoqing left a message and went into the teacher's dormitory. He Shu went through the admission formalities and hurried to Jiang Xiaoqing's room.
"What is it? Go! As long as I can try my best to support "Jiang Xiaoqing He Shu to get things up, take the lead. So Uncle He told me about the new book being reported to the sales department.
"ah! You are a student, how can you think of doing business? " Jiang Xiaoqing said with a smile. "I don't want to do business Newsstands and bookstores now sell used books, and people need new books and newspapers very much, but there is a shortage of funds at the moment ... "He Shugang said here, and Jiang Xiaoqing knew that drunkenness was meaningless, so he said bluntly," Do you want me to lend you money? Ok, how much do you want? "
"At least five hundred" He Shu saw Jiang Xiaoqing readily promised and held out five fingers. Made a gesture.
"Well, 500 is 500."
With the support of Jiang Xiaoqing, He Shu asked his family for a sum of money. After more than half a month, he set up a new book newspaper sales department on the campus of the third division. Since then, the sales department has often sold books such as History of Socialism, Documentary of Russian Revolution, History of International Workers' Movement, Guide, Pioneer, New Youth, New Wave and New Youth. For a time, the sales department, like a blooming flower, attracted the attention of the whole world. Word of mouth, the whole city, book buyers and readers, like flying bees and butterflies, flocked.
He Shu often finds a strange book buyer among these book buyers. She is a girl of seventeen or eighteen, with a dignified and delicate appearance. Tall figure, graceful waist, often wearing a dress, with two long braids, a look at her appearance, she must be a rich boy, saying that she is strange because she comes to the purchasing department every so often, or asks Uncle He for any new books and newspapers at noon or dusk. Once she finds out that they are new books and newspapers, she will spend a lot of money to buy one or twenty.
One night, the girl came again. As soon as she entered the sales department, she asked Uncle He if he had any new books and newspapers today. The newly published Xiangjiang Review, which Shi Heshu just retrieved from the post office, was edited by Mao Zedong. When the girl asked, she quickly replied, "There are several new Xiangjiang reviews. How many do you want? "
"I want to buy twenty copies." This girl speaks amazingly.
"Do you want so much by yourself?" He Shu looked at the girl in surprise and said.
"I want to give it to others!" The girl glanced at Uncle He. He Shu quickly went through the formalities of handing in the book. The girl picked up the magazine and wanted to go when it began to rain cats and dogs. The girl had to wait until the rain stopped. But after waiting for a long time, I saw that it was still raining and it was getting dark, so I was in a hurry. Seeing the girl's anxious expression, Uncle He took out an oil-paper umbrella from the room and handed it to the girl and said, "It's already dark. Your home seems far away from here. Take it to shelter from the rain and send it to me tomorrow. "
"Thank you, Manager He." The girl smiled and nodded at Uncle He. After opening the umbrella, I rushed into the rain curtain. He Shu looked at the girl's distant back and thought: This is a new woman who loves learning, pursues knowledge and is open-minded.
The next day, a Sunday, it rained all night and didn't stop until dawn. He Shu was sorting out the books on the shelf when the girl who came to buy books last night came again. She came to return the umbrella on purpose.
"Miss, what's your name?" He Shu asked with a smile.
"My name is Zhu Shunhua. My parents called me Zhu Kejun when I was a child. " The girl replied.
"Are you from Hengyang?"
"no! My ancestral home is Yucheng, and my grandfather came out as an official very early. Now we live in Hengyang. "
"Which school do you study in?"
"Last year, I was admitted to Hunan Women's Third Division. What, you want to write my genealogy? " The girl smiled.
From then on, He Shu and Zhu Shunhua met and fell in love. 1923 In March, Uncle He and Zhu Shunhua became revolutionary partners.
