One hundred and seventy-nine, request (Part 2)
Zhou Changji has been a leader for so many years, no matter his position or rank, where has he not been praised?
Moreover, the people I usually interact with are all educated people. Even if they have opinions and don't deal with them, they are just "gentlemen talking to each other and not saying evil words". They pay attention to "gentlemen should fight with each other". How can there be someone like Xu Shengzhou who doesn't respect the leader? When he comes up, he will show his face.
He was merciless in his fight for the white spot, and Zhou Changji was immediately squeezed so much that his blood pressure went up, and his face turned blue and white.
Le Tianyi didn't expect Xu Shengzhou to be so aggressive, so he quickly tried to persuade him: "Xiao Xu, let's just talk about things, don't talk about things that are there or not."
Of course Xu Shengzhou knew that it was not a day to freeze three feet; it was not one person's fault to get used to it.
What "habit"?
Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the emperors have been fond of the trick of bringing people from far away and bringing all nations to court. Especially after being poisoned by Confucianism, they even thought that foreign barbarians could come and kowtow a few times and offer some local specialties.
, you can write down a few glorious strokes in the history books, proving that the emperor was wise and mighty, the country was strong, he was successful in educating, and the barbarians were subdued.
——As for where the barbarians came from, whether the kowtows were sincere, and whether the tributes were paid to defraud money, who cares?
This kind of thinking led to the incident of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wrapping trees in silk and leaving people without cold clothes. It also caused the joke of more than 100 tributary countries in the Ming Dynasty doing trade purely in the name of tribute.
(See "Minghuidian").
After the Opium War, the foreigners took advantage of the remaining power of their ships and artillery and strutted across the land of China. No matter whether they were wives, children, missionaries, false believers, or even followers or slaves, as long as they made the slightest mistake, regardless of the right or wrong, the foreigners would
Your Excellency's thunderous anger will inevitably trigger various "incidents" and "lesson plans", and then force the Qing government to sign an alliance under the city and suffer the humiliation of ceding territory and paying compensation. In just a few decades, officials from all over the country have changed from being contemptuous and contemptuous to fearing foreigners like tigers.
.
When the Chinese are ready to get rich, foreigners have become synonymous with wealth, advancement, and investment. How much wealth have been robbed through various means?
This habit is not spared even in academia. Not to mention how many scholars now use foreign self-respect to proudly declare in their resumes that "American scholars speak highly of this" and "even American scholars have cited it in their papers."
""Winning wide acclaim in European and American academic circles"? This is exactly what a foreign adult says. One word of praise is more honorable than Hua Gong's; one word of disparagement is more severe than an axe.
Xu Shengzhou hated this very much.
……
Now Xu Shengzhou is also the president of a school. Although the school is very bad and cannot recruit even good domestic students, let alone international students. But he has a dream.
Overcorrection, must be overcorrected!
Returning to the current matter, the reason why Zhou Changji mentioned the name of "many cultural and museum institutions abroad" was entirely due to the influence of habit, coupled with years of education that "foreign affairs are no small matter, and responsibility is greater than God", he couldn't help but
blurt out.
Liao Xiaowen was also confused by Xu Shengzhou's fierce words, and it took him a long time to react. With the indignation of a king humiliating his ministers to death, he said solemnly: "Xiao Xu! Whether the donation is legal or not, it is the country that has the final say, not you.
!Furthermore, the mistakes of others cannot be the reason for us to make mistakes too. We cannot repeat the wrong path of others. The reason why we have been widely recognized by the international community in recent years is because we are always based on facts.
Take justice as the criterion, always stand on the standpoint of fairness and justice, ignore past grudges, and repay grievances with kindness."
Xu Shengzhou also calmed down and was too lazy to argue with them about this issue. They had many people and high positions. When it came to speaking great principles, even ten or a hundred Xu Shengzhou tied up would not be their opponent. Moreover, they spoke great principles.
, sometimes you can’t argue at all, because arguing is a mistake. So why bother arguing with them?
He said directly: "Okay, what you said is right. Don't those foreign cultural institutions want to ask for paintings? Let them come to me, and I will litigate with them. Although our school does not have much money, we can squeeze out a lot of money.
Even if we spend tens of millions to file a lawsuit, there will still be no problem."
Hu Jiuhe, the deputy director of the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Commission who had been silent, smiled at this time: "For a lawsuit, it is best to have a game between senior officials. After all, such a large-scale world-famous painting is of high quality.
, which has played a very important role in enriching and improving our country's collection of Western art. Now it is in our hands. If we hand it over again, future generations will point at our spine and scold us for being useless."
Xu Shengzhou is a docile donkey, and he feels that Hu Jiuhe's words are obviously very popular: "Director Hu is right. We are all our own people. If we have anything to say, we can say whatever we want. Everything is easy to discuss, right? We can always go to the line and put big names on it.
, I think it’s quite boring.”
Zhou Changji’s face became increasingly ugly.
Xu Shengzhou didn't want to look at his dead face, so he said to Liao Xiaowen: "Director Liao, what are you doing here today? If we just want to chat, then let's stop here. I still have a paper to write urgently.
”
Liao Xiaowen also looked unhappy and snorted coldly: "I didn't expect Principal Xu to work so hard!"
Xu Shengzhou nodded: "That's right! You have to work so hard in academic research. After all, if your efforts are gone, others will cry; if the results are gone, you will cry. I know this very well."
Hu Jiuhe quickly smoothed things over and said: "Actually, we came here this time to discuss with you, can we--"
"No." Xu Shengzhou answered simply.
Hu Jiuhe was a little confused: "I haven't finished speaking yet. You don't even know what the content is, so why do you say you can't?"
Xu Shengzhou said: "Although you haven't finished speaking, you just want to take those paintings away from us. Is there anything else you can say?"
"Uh... Actually we don't want to take it away, but we want to borrow it to conduct a comprehensive appraisal of the painting."
Xu Shengzhou smiled: "Liu Bei borrowed money from Jingzhou? I am familiar with this matter. I studied it when I was in the third grade of elementary school, and then Sun Quan paid off his wife and soldiers in order to come back, right?"
Hu Jiuhe saw that Xu Shengzhou was unable to get in, so he could only look helplessly at Zhou Changji and Liao Xiaowen.
Zhou and Liao looked at Letianyi again.
Letianyi had no choice but to say: "Classmate Xu Shengzhou, it has been more than a hundred years since our school was established. For more than a hundred years, all the teachers and students of the school have been sharing the same destiny with the motherland and the people, forming a patriotic and progressive spirit that benefits the world.
Fine tradition——"
