"The statue of mother and son outside Boss Mi's shop, you see, is just a bronze statue. In my eyes, it is the Bodhisattva who rectifies our hearts. Because the death of the mother and son made us see the ignorance and greed in our hearts. Their blood What is washed away is the filth in our hearts..."
The high-spirited young man stood in the crowd without any stage fright. He looked at these people who were older than him and could be uncles and grandfathers and expressed what he was thinking.
"Why? Have you ever wondered why?"
"Why does the Russian fleet not dare to deal with us and take a detour? Why do they only dare to sneak attack on Amami Island? Isn't it because we are stronger..."
"Why are there 30,000 enemy troops nearby, but we don't have a curfew in Naha? Why can everyone still sit in the tavern and teahouse talking about current affairs? Why don't you run home in fear, guard your jar of rice and don't let others give it to you? Stole or robbed?”
"Why is the commercial street still open now? Why does Boss Mi's food store not only not take advantage of the situation by raising prices, but also limit the supply? Are we really in a war?"
The young students left countless adults speechless with a series of question marks. yes? why? Why aren't we afraid anymore? Why is the order of the city not chaotic at all?
"Because we are stronger! Not only are the weapons in our hands stronger, but our hearts are also stronger!"
"We used to be a group of scared rats. We were afraid of not having food to eat, we were afraid of not having clothes to wear, we were afraid of not having a place to live... Even if we had all these things, we were afraid that some robber would come and break in at any time. The house took away everything from us..."
"Are there many bandits in this world? What kind of life did we live when the Japanese Shimadzu family colonized Ryukyu? When we were displaced in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how did those corrupt officials and the Eight Banners disciples bully us?"
"Not to mention that there are British, French, Rakshasa ghosts... and countless other foreign races in this world. Who doesn't want to drink our blood?"
"Because everyone has fear in their hearts, because everyone has no sense of security, when faced with life-and-death matters, you will immediately choose to protect your own selfish interests and the small interests of your family... This is not shameful, this is just for Survive, because you don’t know who will come to save you, and you don’t know how to save yourself!”
"Just like that statue, we were children under our mother at that time. We were afraid to face the cruel wind and rain outside. We didn't know that the next second that big foot would step on us and trample us to death. …”
"He is helpless and pitiful like a child. He has no power to resist all the wind and rain. He can only rely on instinct to resist everything. Therefore, facing the robbers, choosing to rob weaker people to survive is the only choice..."
The young boy clenched his hands into fists, and all the muscles in his body became tense. He rubbed his neck and shouted, "But it's different now... We are not orphans. We are protected by the Prime Minister and the Chinese trend inspired by the Prime Minister." !”
"Just like a wandering orphan who found Shisan's parents, our hearts are finally at peace from now on! We know very well that even if we encounter the most ferocious enemy now, at least there is a powerful army protecting us. At least there are tens of millions of Chinese compatriots hugging us for warmth, and at least the Prime Minister is like a loving father who can advise us and protect us from the wind and rain!"
"Because of this sense of security, we can sit here chatting and giving advice, without having to worry about whether the rice vat at home is empty or whether our beautiful wife will be kidnapped by robbers like hungry wolves. !”
"Now do you know what ethnicity is? Now do you know what Chinese is? Let me ask you, do you still want to go back to the past life? For a handful of rice, you can kill the poor mother and child. Trampled to death, just for the survival of your own family, you don't hesitate to attack the weaker ones?"
"Is that the life you want?"
Everyone present shed tears, "No... I can't live the old life even if I die. I've had enough of that hellish life!" People roared in unison.
"That's right! Since we don't want to live the same life as before, let's start from ourselves, start from everyone... We don't have the fate to go to the New Army to help the Prime Minister fight, but we can donate military resources to the Prime Minister, and we are better You can start from now on correcting your words and deeds!"
"Can we not spread rumors from now on? Can we cooperate with the police from now on to control our own neighborhoods and keep an eye on every stranger?"
"Can we go out on the streets to maintain order and make sure there is no looting? Can we give some food to the elderly, weak, sick and disabled families to give them food and clothing?"
"From now on, everyone will first stabilize their own small home, then stabilize their neighbors, and finally stabilize the entire neighborhood... If all the neighborhoods in Naha are stabilized, the city will be peaceful! Including the Ryukyu Kingdom will also be stable Come down, this is what we should do, I just want to ask everyone, is it okay?"
"Okay!" People shouted in unison, "What's wrong with this? Don't spread rumors, don't rob, protect your family and neighbors, and help each other. This is what we Chinese people should do on a daily basis..."
The young child took off the student hat that looked like a military hat, and then bowed deeply to the uncles and brothers present, "Thank you! Thank you all... I have to go to the next block to preach. Although I am only a child, we We also have our own ways to help the Prime Minister and our Chinese people!"
"As long as our hearts are strong, the Chinese people will naturally be strong! As long as our hearts are stable, the Chinese people will naturally be stable! This is the principle of life that the Prime Minister taught us, and this is the national spirit that the Prime Minister told us!"
"Thank you! Thank you!" The applause was thunderous, and the young children with blushing faces squeezed out of the crowd and rushed to the next block where they were preaching.
Throughout the city of Naha, nearly a thousand students with excellent eloquence voluntarily participated in this propaganda event. With their propaganda and encouragement, the mood of the Chinese people quickly stabilized.
All walks of life are working step by step, people are living as usual, there is no chaos in the city's municipal supply, the gas lights on the streets are still bright, the new tap water system is functioning normally, food rationing is normal, and there is no chaos in the health and medical industries.
It can be said that Naha is still the Naha of the past, but at the same time, Naha is not like the Naha of the past. While all order was not destroyed, there was a subtle sublimation of spirit. Even Xiao Letian did not expect that this war would actually give countless people a personal understanding of the concept of the Chinese nation.
It is no longer a term floating in the sky or flying in the mouths of politicians. Millions of Chinese people finally understand that these two words are actually related to everyone's happiness.
The Chinese people are themselves, and they are the Chinese people. If you are unhappy, the Chinese people will not be happy. If you are strong, the Chinese people will be strong.
One for all, one for all! This ideal social realm was strangely inspired by the war. This was a completely unexpected gain during the Sino-Russian War.
