Live broadcast: Ancient people accompany me to make up lessons

She had absolutely no idea what changes had taken place in the schools of thought in each dynasty. At night, Xiaoxiao, who had finished her meal in a hurry, said hello to her parents. As soon as the back door of the study was closed, she sat down and put on her headphones to prevent her parents from coming in and seeing her talking to herself. Talk to yourself.

The time is now half past seven, and it will be half past nine after the broadcast. It's not too late at all.

Turn on the computer and pull out the information and videos you are looking for, and the system will open the live broadcast room.

……

After the live broadcast this morning, everyone was very busy during the day. Some people who did not go out in the past also opened their windows, learned sign language and poked Braille in front of the canopy, very seriously.

I saw that the live broadcast room was opened, and now it has subtitles. Deaf people can also understand what the anchor said. These groups who could only rely on family members to relay it before are now looking forward to it.

["Tonight tonight is mainly because the audience was curious. I will first show you a new alkali production video, with a lucky barrage in the middle, and then tell you about Xiangzi's era."

The mouse zoomed in on the video and Xiaoxiao pressed the play button.

"About alkaline production, people who don't understand chemistry will also know someone..."]

Kangxi had a premonition during the day that there would be many changes in the era after the Qing Dynasty, so he called all his adult sons to the palace tonight, including the second son of Xian'an Palace.

In addition to them, there are also a few small officials who are quick, good at calligraphy and good at drawing, who are dedicated to recording the anchor's every move and the various knowledge she reveals.

It is most appropriate for Qi Julang to record this kind of thing.

Qi Julang, whose workload has skyrocketed recently: ...Thank you, my hands are exhausted. The good thing is that I can write about the anchor in detail, and I don’t have to worry about the emperor settling accounts.

Yes, just like Liu Che tries to figure out the various thoughts of the anchor, they will also watch the anchor's words and deeds after the live broadcast, and a group of smart people will analyze and profile her.

It's just that the more they analyze, the more unsure they become, and they become more secretive about this matter to future generations who will only be a few hundred years later.

[When the video is clicked, the old blurry black and white photo shows a man with very little hair, wearing a suit and tie, sitting calmly in front of the wall.

"Hou Debang, an outstanding master of chemistry in modern Chinese history, his original 'Hou's alkali production method' has single-handedly raised the level of China's chemical industry to a higher level, and also made great contributions to the chemical industry of New China, especially the production of nitrogen fertilizer and soda. Made a huge contribution.

In 1890, Hou Debang was born..."]

People in Minhou County, Fujian Province looked left and right. Everyone gathered together to watch the live broadcast on the marquee in the evening. Unexpectedly, their name was suddenly called.

"This master of chemistry is actually from us?"

"The surname is Hou. Are there any people with the surname Hou in our county?"

Looking through various dried mushrooms, the old man sighed: "I still have to study..."

The son who was doing some chores next to him nodded: "Yes, although Mr. Hou above is from a farmer's family, his grandfather is a scholar. He hopes that his grandson can also study."

The old man nodded: "Look at Mr. Hou, he has worked hard since he was a child. His family was poor and he dropped out of school. He never forgets to study if he can.

In a family like ours, only children like this can be sent to study and play..."

Someone also captured the key information: It’s time to be on the high list, but grandpa still hopes that his grandson can take the imperial examination and get an official position. It seems that the imperial examination is still there, and so is the Qing Dynasty?

[“At the beginning of the 20th century, foreign powers accelerated their pace of invading China, and coastal areas were particularly severely affected.

In 1903, 13-year-old Hou Debang was sponsored by his aunt and entered an American missionary school in Fuzhou..."

A man wearing flagman clothes and glasses stood in front of the blackboard. There was a globe on his podium. Triangles were drawn on the blackboard and English letters were written on it.

In front of him, a group of boys with braids on their half-mooned heads were sitting upright. ]

People along the coast in the Ming and Qing Dynasties raised their heads with confused eyes.

Great powers? Are the Japanese pirates coming again?

With a tilt of his hand, the teacup on the table was knocked over, and the atmosphere in Qianqing Palace was extremely cold.

They knew exactly what the church was. Many of Kangxi and his respective sons were interested in Western learning, and they all learned some knowledge from Western masters in the palace.

But they all find it incredible that the church can openly set up schools on the land of the Qing Dynasty and use their language to teach the children of the Qing Dynasty their knowledge.

This video is very high-definition and in color. It may have been filmed by later generations, but it should be true that the children of the Qing Dynasty went to learn Western learning.

So what happened to the Qing Dynasty in later generations, and what happened to the great powers that invaded China?

["While studying in Fuzhou, he often witnessed foreign powers bullying our dock workers, and also heard news about the large-scale persecution of overseas Chinese compatriots and expulsion of Chinese workers by racists in San Francisco.

The idea of ​​revitalizing China also sprouted in the mind of this 13-year-old boy..."

In the old photos, there is a large group of people behind, and a few men with braids in front are bent over, being pointed at guns by people wearing completely different clothes, and some are tied with long ropes...]

Knocking on the table, Li Shimin murmured: "Revitalize China, revitalize... Why does China need to be revitalized?"

Regardless of the Qin and Han Dynasties, or the Sui and Tang Dynasties, although there was also the threat of Turks from the north, no one would use such words.

Even if Song Dynasty offers money for foreign peace talks, their attitude will not be like this. They seem to be very arrogant.

Unless, what we encounter is something that will be more tragic for the Han people, no, for everyone, including the Han people and other minority people, than it was in the hundreds of years after the Five Hunan Rebellions in China.

Being the closest to that era, he turned his head coldly, thinking about who those great powers were, and whether the United States, which was far away across the Pacific Ocean, was one of them, and what else?

It is not enough to bully the Chinese at home, but they can also bully them here across the ocean.

It's not that they don't take their own people and their face into consideration, or that the other party is powerful but still weak and incompetent in later generations, and they dare not speak out when they bully the local people.

No matter which one it is, it can make him angry.

He was not the only one who thought of this level. No one expected that such a prosperous and dreamlike future to them would actually be like this more than a hundred years ago.

The men with long braids in the photo are all dock workers. They look skinny and have sunken cheeks. They are in the same state as most of them, suffering from long-term hunger and poverty.

They didn't recognize the gun, but seeing another worker being tied up with a long rope, silent anger arose in everyone's hearts.

What the rulers think about is the face of the country, and the people empathize with it across time and space.

[“After participating in the anti-American demonstration and strike, Hou Debang was expelled from school, but because of his excellent grades, he was recommended to the Railway School to continue his studies.

While studying at the Railway School, he felt the technological power of the Western powers and understood that what he was currently learning was of no use to the country.

So he gave up his stable life and was admitted to the Tsinghua University Preparatory School for Studying in the United States in 1911.

In the 1913 examination, there were a total of 10 subjects, and all of them received perfect marks on the Hou Deban. In the same year, he appeared on the list of the first batch of higher education graduates from Tsinghua Academy and was recommended to study chemical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States.

Before leaving, he and his classmates came to the Old Summer Palace in the western suburbs. They looked at the Old Summer Palace that had been destroyed by the invaders, and their eyes were filled with sadness. "

The collapsed stones in the black and white photos look desolate, and the white masonry in the color video is not much better. There are various carvings on the stone pillars under the blue sky, and you can vaguely see the prosperity of the past. ]

Liu Che's first reaction was to go see the anchor. Facing these gray-white ruins, her expression was very silent.

This was the first time that he saw undue humiliation and pain in the eyes of a child like the anchor who grew up in the comfort zone of later generations.

In the garden in the western suburbs of the capital, Kangxi immediately thought of the garden he had given to his fourth son five years ago, one mile north of Changchun Garden.

Everyone who is used to foreigners coming to study here found it a bit strange that Hou Debang wanted to go abroad to study chemical engineering.

It's really weird to see people studying abroad, but I can accept it reluctantly. After all, these sciences are really important, and they really don't have any teachers who teach them.

He was still alive, but he didn't expect to see such a scene of family fortunes in decline. Both Kangxi and the elder brothers who had not won the throne were a little shocked.

There is no eternal dynasty in the world. They thought that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the most likely scenario would be that like the late Ming Dynasty, many ethnic peasants would revolt and overthrow the Qing Dynasty.

But how could it be those foreigners who were far away across the ocean?

Lao Ba, who is good at reading people's hearts, also immediately went to see the anchor.

Seeing her expression, his mind kept analyzing everything from the Chinese tea plantation during the great voyage to the opening of the country when it was bombarded by foreign guns and artillery. There are also those Qing children in foreign classrooms, dock workers who were held at gunpoint by foreigners, and now the ruins of this royal garden.

If you don't like their feudal dynasty, seeing this garden anchor shouldn't be such a painful scene.

After all, this is a royal garden, and the anchor doesn't empathize with people like them, so it's impossible to feel heartbroken for the Qing Dynasty.

So, what else is there?

["Graduated from MIT in 1917 with a bachelor's degree.

In the same year, Hou Debang re-entered Pratt College to study tanning, and received a diploma as a tanning chemist the following year.

In 1918, he participated in the Columbia University Research Institute to study tanning.

Obtained a master's degree in 1919.

Obtained a doctorate in 1921 and worked as an engineer at Wynn Soda Manufacturing Company.

His ideals are to 'save the country through science' and 'revitalize national industry'.

His experiences growing up taught him that if a country has no strength, it is impossible to talk about equality and ask others to respect you in this world where power is rampant. ”]

Although I don’t know how powerful those universities are, everyone knows what academic qualifications a bachelor, master, and doctorate has. Looking at his study time and achievements, we also have an idea of ​​his diligence and intelligence.

But when they saw the last two sentences, everyone frowned.

"'Revitalizing China' can be said to drive away the Qing people, but the word 'saving the country'..."

Zhang Cong looked solemn as he wrote these words.

Even if he felt that many things in the current Ming Dynasty would remain unchanged, he would not call his idea of ​​saving the country.

Picking up the paper he copied in front of him, he thought about the time, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became.

"The Qing Dynasty disappeared in 1912. There should be a new court. Why do you still say that?"

There is also the last sentence. Although the truth is correct, it makes students abroad think this way. It shows that those foreigners bullying their own workers are not an exception, but those countries are bullying future generations.

But 'without strength'... Even in the Southern Song Dynasty, it would not be described like this.

The more they thought about it, the more frowned they became.

The people mentioned in the video who were bullied were not the Qing people or the Manchus, but the Chinese, the Chinese, and their descendants.

[“In the early years of the Republic of China, national industry had initial development.

Soda ash, which is indispensable for industrial production, all depends on imports from foreign countries. However, the great powers have a monopoly on the alkali production industry and are stuck in basic raw materials.

When Hou Debang was about to return to China after completing his studies, in New York he met Fan Xudong, a patriotic industrialist who was visiting the United States for inspection.

Fan Xudong founded Yongli Soda Plant in Tianjin for emergency needs, but he had no technology.

At that time, the most recognized alkali production method in the world was the Solvay alkali production method. Although the principle was simple and clear, the production technology was controlled by the great powers.

After learning about this dilemma, Hou Debang, who wanted to save the country through industry, gave up his well-off job in the United States and returned to Tanggu, Tianjin with Fan Xudong as the chief engineer of Yongli Alkali Plant.

From then on, Hou Debang began his life journey of saving the country through science and industry for more than half a century. "

In the black and white image, under the control of foreigners with tall noses and deep eyes, long bags convey flour-like things. Large and small mechanical wheels and chains rotate, and powdery things fly out.

Returning to Tianjin from the high-rise buildings of New York, Wynn's factories also began to be built on the plains. ]

All the emperors listened quietly.

Monopoly and bottlenecks are easy to understand. If you don’t have it, only others have it. Then the other party will undoubtedly sell it however they want.

This alkali is still a necessity if you want to develop industry. If you don't buy it, you can't develop it. No matter how expensive it is, you can only spend money.

Unless you can have it yourself.

The emperors, who thought they were rich all over the world, heard for the first time that there was something in this land that they did not have, and they had to buy it from outside.

This is not the expensive non-necessities of spices and gems that only dignitaries can afford. It is a more important thing that future generations cannot do without if they want to develop industry.

There will be no such thing in later generations. No matter how much others speak loudly, they can only pay the money obediently.

We can even have people come over and burn the royal gardens, so we don’t have to think about what the imperial court will be doing in future generations.

It's okay for ordinary people who have little sense of family and country and don't even recognize the county magistrate above them. Those who somehow know what court they are in and who the emperor and local officials are are really worried.

Since when have they been so restricted in everything they do in China?

Wang Shouren breathed a long sigh of relief and packed his bags at home to prepare for his overseas appointment. However, his depression did not diminish at all.

Machines that move on their own never fail to amaze them.

Compared with all the envy and excitement he had before watching the future generations, listening to this story, there was no smile on his face.

There is no distinction between right and wrong. The skills that officials and scholars like them never paid attention to have had an earth-shaking effect in the hands of others.

The consequence is that you can only rely on others.

And he didn't know yet that this depression was just the beginning.
