Chapter 120 Undercurrent
Liu Xinwu's reminder was not groundless, and many people were taking action. It was just that they didn't know where Liu Hongmin lived, so they couldn't find him.
However, a few days later, Professor Tao had a meeting and asked him to help substitute for a class.
In ancient Chinese history, Liu Hongmin's knowledge has surpassed many professors, but because it is too shocking, it cannot be recognized by the mainstream.
If Professor Tao was not really unable to leave, he would not have asked Liu Hongmin to substitute for him. After all, he did not want Liu Hongmin to make too many enemies. After finally getting out of the wolf's den, how could he send him back so easily?
This time Liu Hongmin came to the door himself, and some people immediately took action.
"We must look at history comprehensively, and not just at the things recorded in history books. Because history books are written by people, and people have their own preferences. They will use the style of the Spring and Autumn Period, or emphasize some things, or hide some things. Therefore, when we look at history, we must pay attention to logic. From the overall perspective, we must look at the political environment, economic environment and other factors at the time, such as natural disasters and man-made disasters, as well as the behavioral habits of the parties involved. Only by combining these can we more easily see through the fog of time..."
Liu Hongmin did not talk about his shocking discoveries, but instead explained to his juniors how to conduct a comprehensive study of history. For some things, even if you tell them a thousand times, it is not as good as him making his own inferences.
As long as he masters the method of comprehensive historical research, he believes that among these younger classmates, there will definitely be people who will study the false history and become his fellow travelers.
When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Liu Hongmin immediately stopped talking.
"Okay, that's it for today's class, dismissed!"
He packed up his textbooks and walked out of the classroom. As soon as he walked out, he was surrounded by a group of students.
A rude student stood in front of Liu Hongmin and asked, "Are you Liu Hongmin?"
Liu Hongmin nodded. "Yes, it's me. Junior, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"What was your intention in writing a rotten book like Lies that undermines friendly relations? Do you hate the country?"
"Which department are you from? What are you doing in our history department?"
The students in the classroom rushed out and looked at the students surrounding outside with dissatisfaction.
Liu Hongmin raised his hand to stop his fellow students. Then he smiled at the students around him and said, "Didn't your teacher teach you to introduce yourself first when asking others questions?"
The students' eyes flickered immediately. They had planned to rush forward and use their numbers to suppress Liu Hongmin's defense. Unexpectedly, Liu Hongmin actually asked them who they were first.
The history student behind Liu Hongmin immediately said disdainfully: "What? You don't even dare to say the name?"
"Who said that? I'm Yang Wei from the Department of Philosophy."
Liu Hongmin: "So, Yang Wei, how did you know that Lies is a bad book?"
Yang Wei's expression froze. Shouldn't Liu Hongmin's rebuttal be about damaging friendly relations?
Seeing him hesitating and unable to speak, Liu Hongmin couldn't help but laugh, "Look, you can't even tell me where the book "Lies" is bad, so how can you easily make a judgment?"
He looked around at the students in the philosophy department and said, "You all study philosophy. You don't need a history student like me to tell you what dialectics is, do you? In my opinion, philosophy should teach us to look at problems rationally, and everyone should verify the truth on their own. Take today's incident as an example. If you can't find evidence that Lies is a bad book, don't say it lightly."
"Of course, you will say that Lies destroyed friendly relations. My answer is that you are too naive! There has never been true friendship between countries, only interests. Back then, we thought that Big Brother could help us develop our country, but in the end, Big Brother wanted us to work for them. This is the price we paid for believing in friendship between countries."
"So, I hope you won't be so naive. Because it is the Western countries that hold the world's discourse power now, and the Western countries believe in the law of the jungle. If you are strong, they will respect you; if you are weak, they will bully you. History has laid the bloody facts before us, so can't it knock out your naivety?"
Yang Wei and others turned pale, their eyes were evasive, and they didn't dare to look directly into Liu Hongmin's eyes.
The students of the history department immediately started to make a noise, "That's not good enough? Aren't you from the philosophy department? You should be able to speak well!" "Let's go! Don't embarrass yourself here."
Yang Wei and the others did not want to stay here and embarrass themselves, so they left in a hurry.
Liu Hongmin couldn't help but shake his head slightly. "Sure enough, the only lesson that humans can learn from history is that humans never learn lessons from history."
"Senior, this sentence is so philosophical!"
The younger students from the History Department surrounded Liu Hongmin and kept asking questions.
"Senior, you wrote the book 'Lies' because you don't think we can repair our relationship with the devils?"
“Is what you wrote in The Ming Dynasty 1566 the truth about Ming Dynasty history?”
Liu Hongmin waved his hand and said, "I only taught one class. If you have any questions, please ask the professor directly when he comes back."
After saying that, Liu Hongmin pushed through the crowd and walked out of the school.
When he passed by the teachers' building, he looked up and saw Professor Xia squatting with a teacup, drinking tea slowly while looking at him from the window on the third floor.
Liu Hongmin smiled, waved to Professor Xia, then turned and left.
Professor Xia had a gloomy face and held the teacup tightly. Those philosophy students were really useless. They let Liu Hongmin pass so easily, which ruined all their subsequent plans.
That night, after get off work, Professor Xia did not go home, but went to the park in the west of the city and sat on a chair in the park.
After a while, an old man came over and sat behind him.
"How did things go?"
Professor Xia sighed and said, "It failed. I didn't expect those students to be so useless."
The old man asked angrily: "Can't you even do this?"
Professor Xia said coldly: "Uncle Wang, you can't deal with him even with your status in the literary world. I'm just an ordinary professor. It's not shameful that I can't deal with him."
The old man surnamed Wang's face kept changing color, and after a long while he said, "We failed this time, so stop all actions and wait for the next opportunity."
After saying this, the old man surnamed Wang stood up and wanted to leave. Professor Xia stopped him at this time, "Uncle Wang, has the person over there contacted you?"
"You are too impatient!" The old man surnamed Wang said coldly: "Do you think the people over there are fools? If you don't show your value, they won't make any promises to you."
Looking at the back of the old man surnamed Wang, Professor Xia's face darkened.
"You old man, you're just lucky. Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty?"
