Chapter 222 Never Forget the Shame
On August 8, Renming Literature was published. The cover was deliberately black and white, which looked solemn and dignified. Apart from the issue number, there was only a title on it.
Never forget the shame - "The Forgotten Catastrophe".
After reading this, the readers were all attracted. Did something big happen? That’s why Renming Literature did this?
But newspapers and other magazines are not like this!
They picked up "Human Name Literature" and only after opening it did they understand what was going on.
The Forgotten Catastrophe was placed at the front of the magazine, with the first page being this scarred yet surprising history. Liu Hongmin searched for historical materials in great detail, and marked the sources of each historical material he used.
Liu Hongmin's writing style is very attractive. After all, he started out as a suspense novelist, which is the foundation of his career.
The readers were stung by the bloody history, but they couldn't help but want to continue reading. After reading for a while, they felt blurry and soon burst into tears.
With the development of economy, people have begun to pursue happy things. Newspapers, novels and even TV programs have begun to put entertainment first, reporting good news but not bad news.
Reading The Forgotten Catastrophe now, it seems as if I have returned to that calamity-ridden era. Many sentimental readers burst into tears in the bookstore, some even cried out of breath, and some even fainted.
On that day, all the major hospitals received many patients who fainted from crying. For a time, the hospitals were overcrowded.
Fortunately, none of these people were seriously injured. After waking up, they calmed down and everything was fine.
However, "The Forgotten Catastrophe" caused a sensation and attracted more attention than any previous novel written by Liu Hongmin.
Old man Zhang and others gathered together, looking very unhappy.
"Does Liu Xinwu think that Renming Literature is his own magazine? He publishes all kinds of works! If you don't know, you would think Liu Hongmin is his father!"
"That's right. What's the point of publishing a book that doesn't have any artistic content? If you want to learn about education, you can go to a museum!"
"Liu Xinwu must be removed. How can someone who abuses his power for personal gain be qualified to be in charge of Renming Literature?"
The reason why Liu Xinwu's confidentiality work was so good this time was actually thanks to the large-scale review of Renjiao Society. Because the results of the review were really shocking, all departments conducted internal reviews and dug out many people.
Although Renming Literature did not uncover the traitor, it was a deterrent to those who were playing both sides. Therefore, after Liu Xinwu emphasized confidentiality, those fence-sitters did not dare to leak the information.
The old man surnamed Zhang and others were not afraid of Liu Xinwu's monopoly, but they were afraid that Renming Literature would become a monolithic entity. In this case, they would not be able to get involved, and there would be no room for maneuver.
"Okay, now that it has happened, let's think about what to do!"
They all received money from the Japanese, so they reacted so strongly to this matter.
"Call Lao Jiang. He is the one who needs to make the decision on this matter."
Mr. Zhang called Mr. Jiang and told him what happened. Mr. Jiang was silent for a moment and said, "I understand. I'll ask someone about it."
A few hours later, the old man surnamed Jiang called. "Don't worry about it this time. Xiyuan is very dissatisfied with the Japanese. Don't get yourself involved."
When the old man surnamed Zhang and his companions heard this, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, they didn't do anything, otherwise they would have been in trouble this time.
They are not lacking in political sensitivity, but the Japanese gave them too much this time, and they were blinded by the money. Therefore, they can't sit still at the slightest thing.
"Okay! We won't meddle in other people's business."
Several people looked at each other and left. Then they found an opportunity to tell the little devil who gave them money about this matter.
Xiaozuka Jiefu got the news very quickly. He fed the news back to the person in charge and said worriedly: "Liu Hongmin has already started to fight back, and he is going to kill us right away. What should we do now?"
The person in charge knocked on the table and said, "Calm down. The cooperation in mutual review of textbooks has already begun, and it will not stop in the middle. Now it is a game between the two sides, and everyone is using tricks. Whoever can't hold on first will have to make concessions."
"Then we just hold on?"
"That's right, we just have to hold on! No matter what happens, we have to stick to our bottom line. As long as we are shameless, they can't do anything to us."
"Then Liu Hongmin..."
The person in charge laughed smugly. "What can Liu Hongmin do? If he dares to obstruct the mutual review of textbooks, he will be the sinner who destroys the friendship between the two countries. You know, $100 million is the activity fund. If the cooperation is terminated, we can get the remaining money back. These Chinese officials are reluctant to let us take so much money. So, as long as we hold on, they will definitely compromise."
Jeff Kozuka also started laughing. When it comes to shamelessness, no one can match them.
"The Forgotten Catastrophe" soon triggered a nationwide trend of learning history education. Those who could afford it went to visit the Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall and Museum. Those who could not afford it bought a few history books about the Anti-Japanese War to read. For a time, patriotic sentiment was high.
After many people in Beijing learned the whole story, they immediately took to the streets and went to the commercial streets to protest. The Japanese delegation was so scared that they dared not go out and ate, drank, defecated and urinated in the Jinpeng Hotel.
Protests broke out in various places. Both workers and students took to the streets to protest against the Japanese devils' disrespect for history.
All major newspapers reported this event, and it soon became a nationwide movement. This trend soon spread to Hong Kong, and Hong Kong patriots took to the streets to protest against the Japanese's tampering with history.
In 1982, when the Japanese invaders tampered with history, Huangzhan specially wrote "My Chinese Heart" to express his patriotic feelings.
So, "My Chinese Heart" was sung everywhere in the streets of Hong Kong. Soon, overseas Chinese also took to the streets, singing "My Chinese Heart" while protesting.
This trend quickly spread around the world, and wherever there were Chinese people, there were protests. They showed the world China's strength and voiced their own opinions to the people of the world.
People from all over the world also began to pay attention to this incident. They asked the Chinese and overseas Chinese and learned some of the truth. Many people were full of love and began to support the Chinese and overseas Chinese and express their dissatisfaction with the Japanese.
This frightened the Japanese, and they quickly contacted other countries, hoping to use their power to nip the protest in the bud. Media from various countries rushed out, turning black into white and changing the subject to divert people's attention to other places.
