Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

After staying in Indonesia for five days, the delegation flew to Luzon Island. After communicating with the locals for three days, they prepared to set off for Japan.

"We will arrive in Japan tomorrow. I will tell you frankly that Japan is developing very well. Don't be surprised or depressed when you see this. After all, they have the first-mover advantage, a good international environment, and sufficient foundations, while we have nothing. We only have a pair of hands, but we have a complete industrial system in just 18 years. We can build airplanes, cannons, tanks, missiles, Big Ivan, and rockets. Satellites, we have reached world-class levels in some cutting-edge technologies, and we have fed 600 million people. Many of you were born before liberation. Ask yourself, how is our progress?"

In the small conference room, the members of the Chinese Young Scholars Exchange Delegation were crowded here, and Chang Zhengyang's voice echoed in the conference room.

He looked at the people in front of him. There must be people here who, after seeing the prosperous metropolis, would start to doubt whether there is something wrong with their country's development.

These people will appear more and more as more people go abroad.

"If anyone doesn't want to go back, you can just tell me. I won't stop you. Everyone has their own aspirations. As long as you don't sell out your country, that's fine. OK, let's adjourn the meeting!"

Chang Zhengyang waved his hand, and everyone was silent for a moment, then stood up and left the meeting room.

"Teacher, if there is someone who really refuses to go back, do you want us to kill him?"

Sima Hui walked back and made a singing gesture. Chang Zhengyang shook his head and said, "No, there will be more and more people like this in the future. You can never kill them all. And you guys, don't think you have strong wills. Be careful not to be blinded by the world."

To be fair, since the 1960s, the living standards of ordinary people in the entire Western developed countries, including Japan, have been quite good.

Their living standards are basically such that every household has a car, a house, can eat meat every day, has a stable high-income job, and can travel every year...

These are all real and can be seen and touched.

Chang Zhengyang has just made it very clear that we should not confuse cause and effect. It is not because the capitalists have a change of heart, but because they have no choice but to do so. Otherwise, they will be hanged on telephone poles by their own people.

After Big Brother fell, the living standards of ordinary people in the West stagnated, and the so-called middle class disappeared in the economic crisis.

Looking at China in the 1980s, and even Big Brother, from the perspective of the 21st century, the main reason why there are so many public intellectuals is because of ourselves. We have not truthfully told the true level of development of the West, so that our young people's three views collapsed after going abroad.

"Forget it. When the waves wash away the sand, the gold sinks. A true patriot will never waver. You guys should take care of yourselves."

Chang Zhengyang turned and walked out of the meeting room. Sima Hui and the others looked at each other, wondering why Boss Chang was so sentimental today.

Nothing happened that night. A passenger plane carrying members of the expedition team took off from Luzon Island, cut through the sky, and arrived over Japan.

"It turns out that Japan is really so small. No wonder the Japanese devils are so greedy for China!"

Everyone looked down through the window and saw that the land of Japan below was narrow from east to west, and twisted like an earthworm in the vast ocean.

The plane began to circle in the air, gradually lowering its altitude. Everyone could already see the tall buildings below, and many people had expressions of shock in their eyes.

The Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Manila that you have seen before are very different from the Tokyo below.

Take Hong Kong as an example. The city appearance of Hong Kong in the 1960s could only be described as dirty and messy. Hong Kong truly became an international metropolis in the 1970s and reached its peak in the 1980s.

Other cities like Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Manila did not begin to develop rapidly until the 1980s as international trade became increasingly frequent.

So before the inspection team came to Tokyo, they didn't think there was anything strange about what they saw along the way.

But now, their eyes were full of shock. Even though Chang Zheng had given them a shot of prevention last night, it still couldn't change their mood at the moment.

Chang Zhengyang took everyone's expressions into consideration but said nothing.

This is just the beginning. Their delegation will go to Europe later. We don’t know how many people will be shaken in their beliefs and how many will become more determined in their faith.

The plane finally landed, and the members of the inspection team filed out. They completed the entry procedures as required by the airport staff. After leaving the airport, the Japanese media who had been waiting for a long time rushed in and blocked the inspection team.

"How many days will Professor Chang stay in Japan?"

"Professor Chang, what do you think of your nomination for the Nobel Prize in Biology?"

"Professor Chang, what do you think of the development of our country?"

"Professor Chang, I heard that your monthly salary is only 300 US dollars. Are you satisfied with your salary?"

Chang Zhengyang kept saying with a fake smile: "No comment, please move aside, we need to go to the hotel to rest."

At this time, Sima Hui and his team came into play. Eight tall and strong young men stood on both sides, quietly squeezed through the reporters, and met with the staff of the Chinese Office in Japan who greeted them. They got on a bus parked on the side of the road and got rid of the media reporters who were chasing them.

"Damn it, the Japs have no good intentions!"

After getting on the bus, Fatty Wang couldn't help wiping his forehead.

Hu Bayi nodded in agreement: "That's right, aren't you just trying to sow discord?"

As soon as the two of them opened their mouths, everyone started talking.

Chang Zhengyang sat alone in the passenger seat with his eyes closed, not paying attention to the discussion behind him. He was not an old-fashioned man who kept the atmosphere tense all day long.

The bus stopped at a hot spring hotel in the suburbs of Tokyo. The office had already booked the hotel, and the delegation would stay here for the next half month.

Everyone was very tired after sitting on the plane for most of the day, so after dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

In the dead of night, several figures left the hot spring hotel like ghosts.

"Your mission is to find their exact address. Remember, everything must be done according to our previous plan. Don't alert the enemy. Alright, work in pairs and be careful on the road!"

"understand!"

Chang Zhengyang watched Sima Hui and the others leave, stood in the darkness for a long time before quietly returning to the hot spring hotel.
