Chapter 58 A small doctor heals people, a big doctor heals the country
The old gentleman picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. He hesitated and said, "Do you two still remember what I said about your faces?"
Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang looked at each other, and Zhao Gang said: "Old sir, you know, at that time our minds were full of anti-Japanese propaganda, how could we have the time to remember these things."
"Forget it, it's fate that we can talk about this together today. I'm just going to say a few words, so you two don't want to hear it."
"Old sir, we are all ears," Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang said while looking at the old gentleman.
"Let's talk about Mr. Zhou first. Originally, I thought that your face coincided with a sign of premature death. If you survive nine deaths, you will rise with the trend. It's unspeakable. Now it seems that you have survived. You will have a long life in the future. You join the army.
This is the right path to take.”
Zhou Weihan was struck by what the old gentleman said so cleverly, and he thought to himself, isn't this consistent with his own experience? There is something really special about it.
"You kid can endure and hide. You are not arrogant at the top and can be humiliated at the bottom. You won't have any big problems in the future, so I won't say more."
Then the old gentleman stretched out his index finger, dipped it in the wine bowl, and slowly wrote a word on the table.
Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang took a quick look and saw that it actually had the character "正".
"As for you, Mr. Zhao, you have a square and broad forehead, you are upright in dealing with others, you have fairness and justice in your heart, and you have slightly raised eyebrows. Such a person has courage in doing things, your eyebrows are slightly thick, and the tail of your eyebrows is slightly raised. You are not afraid of power and dare to fight."
"From the time we first met until now, you have been looking directly at me, looking directly at each other, and you will stick to your own principles. The bridge of your nose should be high and powerful, and the bridge of your nose should be straight, the base of your nose should be raised, your nose should be strong, and your nose should be straight.
Not crooked. Such a nose shape will first make you upright, make clear decisions when dealing with problems, and be able to interact with powerful forces, showing your uprightness."
"Zhao boy, I saw it when you were still a student. On the surface, you are gentle and kind, but in fact, you are upright and a principled person at heart. This is a good thing and a bad thing."
"As the saying goes, soldiers have no permanent momentum, and water has no permanent shape. Everything will change. Everything in the world is divided into yin and yang, people are divided into good and evil, and things are divided into good and evil."
"When surrounded by great evil, the good will be greatly displayed, and the small evil among the good will be insignificant; but when surrounded by good, then the small evil among the good will swell."
"Zhao boy, your character is suitable for the former, but things will not remain unchanged. One day the evil will expand. When you encounter this day, I am worried that with your character..." the old gentleman said at the end
Instead, I couldn’t say it.
"Old sir, what you said is somewhat similar to the theory of materialist dialectics we are studying," Zhao said thoughtfully.
After hearing these words, Zhou Weihan on the side thought of what happened to Zhao Gang twenty or thirty years later. A chill ran down his spine and rushed to his forehead. Zhou Weihan couldn't help but shudder.
Zhao Gang discovered Zhou Weihan's abnormality and said with concern: "Old Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Weihan ignored Zhao Gang, just looked at him blankly, and said cryptically: "Old man, what you said seems to be in line with the current situation."
"I have been traveling all over the country for decades, but I have never seen anyone or anything. The country now has experienced decades of war. As the saying goes, if we divide for a long time, we will unite and unite for a long time. It is time for a new look."
"Old sir, you just said that things will not stay the same, and people will also change. Who knows that I will not change in the future?" Zhao Gang argued.
"Some people are hypocritical, some people are upright, but you are upright. In the face of the general trend of history, one person's power is insignificant." The old gentleman said.
"One person is insignificant, but if like-minded people come together and work as one, the little devil will have to get out of China sooner or later," Zhao Gang said angrily.
"A small doctor heals people, a big doctor heals the country. I can only heal people in my life, but you can heal the country. I hope everyone can maintain their original intention like you."
"Old sir, I have confidence." With Zhao Gang's keen political sense and intelligence, even if he didn't have the perspective like Zhou Weihan, he could guess that the old man was implying something.
"Well, people are old and confused. They always like to say things that they shouldn't say. Don't take it off. I can't stand it anymore. Let's talk about the business tomorrow. I'll go to bed first." The old man said in a low mood.
Zhou Weihan ordered Dong Jiang to take the old gentleman to rest. The two of them stood at the entrance of the regiment department and watched the old gentleman go away.
It was a slightly cold night in early spring, and the cold wind was blowing, so Zhou Weihan tightened his clothes.
Zhao Gang said to Zhou Weihan: "Old Zhou, you seem to have a deep understanding of what the old man said."
Zhou Weihan did not directly answer Zhao Gang's question, but said: "As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, the old man will not harm us."
Zhao Gang stared at Zhou Weihan and said: "Old Zhou, where are you thinking? I just don't agree with what the old man said. I believe in me, you, and the comrades around us."
"Old Zhao, what you said makes me seem like I don't believe my own comrades."
"Old Zhao, you are an idealist, and I am a realist. We both have beliefs, but the channels for realizing them are different. This can be seen from ordinary things, such as the cavalry company training.
You can see it.”
"Do you think I don't want to treat my soldiers well? They are also my comrades and good brothers who dare to go to the battlefield and fight against the Japs. Zhu Dashan has a grudge against his soldiers and must punish them corporally? You must know that they are
We are good brothers who fought hard and can rely on each other on the battlefield."
"But little devil, will you give us time? You have principles and follow the orders of your superiors, but some things have to be viewed dialectically and flexible. Sometimes you are too idealistic." Zhou Weihan took this opportunity to put aside what was in his heart.
He said it secretly.
"Lao Zhou, you are right. Didn't I accept this later? Sometimes I also think that maybe my thinking is too simple and too idealistic." Zhao Gang said with a smile.
"Hey, Lao Zhao, I admire people like you very much. I have one word to describe you. Is it suitable?"
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Gang asked curiously
"Both your body and name will be destroyed, but the eternal flow of rivers will not be destroyed." Zhou Weihan said loudly.
"Haha, can I think you are flattering me? You are talking too much about me." Zhao Gang said with a smile.
"However, I don't want you to be such a person, I'm afraid you will be hurt."
"Who knows what will happen in the future, it all depends on man."
Zhou Weihan wanted to say, I know, I really know, but I can't say this, otherwise it will be too shocking, and I will have to give you a hand in the future.
The two were silent for a long time.
"Zhao Gang is a glorious idealist" who possesses the romanticism inherent in the intellectuals of that era.
He is very mature, he has a high degree of political accomplishment, and he strictly follows the orders of his superiors. But he is also very naive.
He refused to follow the crowd, so when he could get away with just a soft word at the conference, he resolutely shouted out words that were outrageous at the time. This is the dignity that an idealist should have. You can hit me or scold me.
Me, humiliate me, but it’s impossible for me to change the belief in my heart!
In fact, if we look at it now, isn't this the "remaining true to the original intention" of that era? In that era of five thousand years of complete moral decay, there are still people like Zhao Gang who died for their ideals. They are our nation.
The backbone!
Zhao Gang once said to Feng Nan, "Sometimes death is also a kind of struggle." I think that is the last dignity of his soul, when living with dignity becomes a luxury
The ideals he believed in had deteriorated, and he would rather be a martyr than live in this world. Of course, he could have fought in many ways, but he chose the one that seemed to him the most "honorable" and completed his "
Glorious idealist" historical mission.
To use a poem by Du Fu to describe Zhao Gang:
Wang Yang, Lu Luo, and his style at that time were frivolous and frivolous.
Er Cao's body and name are both destroyed, and the flow of rivers will not be destroyed forever.
