Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Zhong Yuemin looked at Walter and said, "Mr. Martin Luther King, the great leader of the civil rights movement, fought for equality and justice all his life, but ultimately could not escape the fate of being shot. Is this what Professor Walter meant by being born equal? ​​Freedom of speech?"

Zhong Yuemin paused, took a deep breath, and then continued. "Moreover, as far as I know, the Chinese Exclusion Act enacted in 1880 was the first immigration law passed in the United States targeting a specific ethnic group. This is a ruthless law that deprived the Chinese of their rights, restricted their freedom, and caused them to suffer endless hardships on American soil. What's more terrifying is that this law is still in effect today. It is like an invisible shackle that binds the Chinese who pursue freedom and dreams."

On the podium in the auditorium, every word Zhong Yuemin spoke was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

Zhong Yuemin's words, like a sharp sword, pierced directly at Professor Water's views that had long been regarded as sacred and inviolable.

The teachers and students in the audience were originally immersed in Professor Water's speech, but at this moment they seemed to be blown by a gust of wind, causing a thousand waves.

"What Zhong Yuemin said is simply... a blatant challenge to Professor Water!" someone whispered, with a bit of astonishment and excitement in his voice.

"That's right, what he said is completely contrary to Professor Water's point of view. This is going to cause a stir!" Another person took over the conversation, with curiosity and anticipation in his eyes.

The discussion gradually grew louder, surging like a tide, and the entire lecture hall seemed to have turned into a boiling ocean. Zhong Yuemin's words were like a huge rock thrown into the ocean, causing an uproar.

"Everyone is born equal and has the right to freedom. This is the greatness of the United States and the pride of Americans. All ethnic groups live in harmony." Professor Water's words are still echoing in everyone's ears. It is a creed that they have long believed in.

However, at this moment, Zhong Yuemin's words were like a clear stream, washing away the ideas deep in their hearts.

"This is simply a slap in the face to Professor Water!" someone exclaimed, his tone filled with shock and confusion.

Secretary Liu stood on the stage, watching the discussion below getting louder and louder, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He knew that if this situation continued, the entire speech would probably fall into chaos. He waved his hands hurriedly, trying to quiet everyone down.

"Please be quiet and listen to me." Secretary Liu's voice was trembling, but he tried to remain calm, hoping to calm the storm.

However, the discussion among the crowd did not stop because of his words, but became more and more intense. Zhong Yuemin's words were like a stone thrown into a lake, stirring up thousands of waves.

In this heated discussion, everyone's heart was filled with doubts and struggles. They began to doubt whether they really believed what Professor Water said, that the United States is a country where people are born equal and enjoy the right to freedom? They began to think, is the harmonious coexistence between different ethnic groups really as beautiful as Professor Water described?

Zhong Yuemin stood on the stage, facing the doubtful or angry eyes of the crowd, but he was not afraid at all. He took a deep breath, and then spoke again, his voice firm and powerful.

"I know that my words may shock and confuse many people. But what I want to say is that we should not blindly believe in anyone's views, but should see the world with our own eyes and feel life with our own hearts. Only in this way can we truly understand what equality and freedom are."

Zhong Yuemin's words were like a stream of fresh air, once again washing away the ideas deep in the hearts of the students. They began to re-examine their own thoughts and rethink the truth of the world.

Walter was stunned for a long time. He didn't expect Zhong Yuemin to say that. Facing the bustling crowd below the stage, every look in his eyes revealed determination and confidence. His next words seemed to have some kind of magic, attracting everyone's attention.

"Yes, these histories, whether glorious or painful, are the marks of the American land."

Walter's voice was steady and powerful. He looked around to make sure everyone could hear him. "Those historical marks, like rivers, converge into today's America, a diverse, inclusive and great country."

He paused slightly, as if giving everyone time to think. Then he continued, "As members of our American family, the contributions of Asians cannot be ignored. They have injected new vitality into this land with their wisdom and hard work. And the United States has also provided them with a platform to express themselves and realize their dreams."

Walter's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, and his words seemed to ignite the fire in everyone's hearts. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance, as if there was an endless future waiting for them there.

"Look at the numbers. Their income from working in the United States for one year is indeed equivalent to their lifetime income in China. This is not just a simple comparison of numbers, but a comparison of dreams, opportunities and the future."

Walter's tone became more and more excited, and every word he said seemed to fall into the hearts of the students, causing waves of resonance.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then smiled and said, "So, in a sense, this is a mutually beneficial relationship. We welcome more young people to come to the United States, experience the culture here, receive education here, and realize their dreams. Likewise, we also expect them to contribute more to the development of the United States."

After saying this, the audience burst into applause. Many people were moved by Walter's words, and their eyes were shining with expectations and visions for the future.

Walter also smiled. He knew that his words had touched the hearts of many people. He believed that in the days to come, more young people would embark on the journey to the United States with their dreams and hopes.

The opponent was indeed difficult to deal with, but Zhong Yuemin would not be easily influenced by his remarks. He calmed down, sorted out his thoughts, and responded in a more determined tone. "Professor Water, I respect your point of view, but I must point out that you seem to be bound by some outdated theory, perhaps the Cold War ideology of the Marshall era. You seem to firmly believe that China is not suitable for the development of industry and manufacturing, but I must tell you that this view is outdated."

Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath and continued, "I firmly believe that many of the American experiences and systems are indeed worthy of China's learning and reference. This kind of learning is not a simple imitation, but innovation and development combined with China's actual situation. I believe that through learning and reference, China will benefit from it and it will be more conducive to the development of its own industry and manufacturing industry."

Zhong Yuemin paused and looked at Walter firmly. "In fact, our manufacturing industry is large in scale and its technological level is constantly improving. We have huge market demand and abundant labor resources, which are important advantages for developing industry and manufacturing. The United States, as one of the most developed countries in the world, should also see China's development potential and cooperate more closely with us to jointly promote the development of the global economy."

Zhong Yuemin's words were like a stone thrown into Walter's calm heart, causing ripples. A hint of surprise appeared on his face, as if he was puzzled and questioned Zhong Yuemin's point of view.

"My friend, I am indeed surprised by your words." Walter turned around slowly, his deep eyes flashing with determination. "But let's talk about my previous topic. The current international division of labor is indeed beneficial to China. China relies on international trade, and its economic growth rate has remained above 7% for many years. This is a fact that is obvious to all."

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly, his smile revealed a hint of cunning and confidence. "Mr. Walter, you are right. International trade has indeed brought economic growth to China. But have you ever thought about whether this growth is sustainable? Is it really in China's long-term interests?"

Walter raised his eyebrows, seeming to be somewhat dissatisfied with Zhong Yuemin's question. "My friend, are you questioning the rationality of the international division of labor? As the world's largest developing country, China can make full use of its labor advantages and achieve optimal allocation of resources by relying on international trade."

"Yes, I do question it." Zhong Yuemin's voice was firm and powerful.

"China cannot just be content with being the world's processing factory. We must have our own brands and technologies. Otherwise, once the international trade environment changes, we will face huge risks."

Walter shook his head, his tone revealing a hint of disdain. "My friend, you are too pessimistic. International trade is the mainstream of today's world economic development. As long as China maintains its current position in the international division of labor, it will be able to achieve stable economic growth."

Zhong Yuemin sneered, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. "Professor Water, let me ask, if there are more and more frictions and disputes in international trade in the future, once we lose the support of international trade, then what kind of impact will our economy suffer?"

Walter was silent for a while, he seemed to not know how to answer Zhong Yuemin's words. He took a deep breath and then slowly said, "My friend, your point of view does make sense. However, if China wants to achieve industrialization, it will cost a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. Moreover, the environmental pollution and resource waste caused by the industrialization process cannot be ignored."

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly, his voice full of confidence and determination. "Mr. Walter, you are right. Industrialization does bring some problems. However, we cannot give up the pace of progress because of fear of problems. If China wants to truly rise, it must go its own way and form its own industrialization system."

The conversation between the two echoed in the room, as if it was a fierce confrontation. The sunlight from the window shone through the glass onto them, coating their figures with a layer of golden halo.

The air in the auditorium seemed to freeze. The students' eyes widened and their ears pricked up, afraid of missing a single word.

The debate on the stage was so intense and profound that it seemed as if a storm of knowledge was sweeping the entire auditorium.

They never thought that such a debate would happen in their own school, let alone that one of the two parties in the debate would be one of their classmates.

"Fuck, are students in the Economics Department so awesome?" A boy couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, his voice full of disbelief.

"Yeah, the American professor was speechless." The girl next to her echoed, with admiration shining in her eyes.

"I thought it was a speech by science students, so we arts students came here to join in the fun. Who could have thought? Our arts students are so awesome? The science students must be embarrassed, right?"

"It seems that he is not from the Department of Economics, but from the Department of Physics." Another boy corrected him with a hint of confusion on his face.

"Fuck, this is an economics genius who was delayed by the physics department!" Another voice sounded, with a bit of teasing, but also revealing admiration for the student on the stage.

There were discussions one after another, and the students were immersed in this unexpected feast of knowledge. They looked at the student on the stage with eyes full of respect and curiosity.

Walter couldn't win the argument with Zhong Yuemin, so he started talking about the large population. "My friend, China has a vast market, that's a fact. However, the huge population base also brings serious pressure. I think you can't deny this, right?"

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly and shook his head indifferently. "Mr. Walter, a large population does bring some challenges, but it does not mean it is a burden. On the contrary, I think it is this huge population base that provides a continuous source of power for China's development. Moreover, as far as I know, the US Secretary of State recently criticized China's family planning policy, which seems to be somewhat inconsistent with your point of view."

Walter's face changed slightly. He obviously didn't expect Zhong Yuemin to mention this sensitive topic so directly. He coughed dryly, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Then he continued, "My dear student, your point of view is very unique. However, I think economic cooperation between China and the United States is the key to resolving this contradiction. Our Jeep company has just completed negotiations with Beijing Auto Company and is preparing to introduce advanced American technology to China. This is a good example. We hope to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results in this way."

Zhong Yuemin sneered and retorted without giving in. "Professor Water, your words sound high-sounding, but in fact you are just making excuses for your own business interests. China does need advanced technology, but that doesn't mean we have to accept your conditions unconditionally. You keep saying that you want to solve population pressure, but how many people can the technology you bring provide employment opportunities? How can it really improve the living standards of the Chinese people?"

Walter's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and tried to respond in a more professional tone. "My friend, you may have misunderstood what I meant. Jeep brings not only technology, but also management experience and market channels. This will help improve the overall level of China's automobile industry, thereby creating more employment opportunities and economic benefits."
