Hearing what Su Yonglin said, Xiao Cui suddenly became happy.
"That's it! That's what I think! I want to support myself with my own hands. I don't rely on anyone, I don't count on anyone, I just rely on myself. I think I can support myself, as long as I give I have a job to do! I can keep doing it!"
"Is that all? Don't you want to do something more?"
Su Yonglin smiled and said: "I invited you to Zhongdu and invited you to join the revival meeting because I have greater expectations for you. Have you read the stories like "The White-Haired Girl" and "The Rooster Crows in the Midnight"?"
"Well, I've seen it all."
Xiao Cui nodded.
"How does it feel?"
"It's very good. The story is very touching. The bad guys in it are so bad and hateful, and the poor people are also very pitiful. For example, Yang Bailao, who couldn't protect his daughter, committed suicide by drinking brine. It's really pitiful..."
Xiao Cui pursed her lips, seemingly resisting the urge to cry.
Su Yonglin nodded.
"I invited you to attend the revival meeting because I admired your courage to fight like Xi'er. So I hope you can join the drama troupe and work in the drama troupe to play the role of Yang Xi'er and transform this role into a new one." Show it to the world."
"ah?"
This was the first time Xiao Cui heard about this.
She knew about the existence of the drama troupe, but she didn't know what the troupe actually did. She had been attending cadre training classes these days to learn theoretical knowledge, and she hadn't had time to understand the specific work of the drama troupe. .
Seeing that she really didn't understand, Su Yonglin patiently explained to her the work and significance of the drama troupe, as well as plans to invite more women to join the drama troupe and develop them into revival members.
Xiao Cui gradually understood what Su Yonglin meant.
"Your idea is to find a group of people to perform these stories? Just like those burlesques and dancing Bao Lao at those temple fairs?"
"Yes, that's it. I think live performances are more widely disseminated than written books, because there are still not many people in the Ming Dynasty who can read a book completely independently. Many people can only recognize a limited number of characters. It will probably take many years for them to be able to read a book independently."
Su Yonglin shook his head and said: "Although I hope that this day will come as soon as possible, there are always some things that cannot be decided by me. Even if I am the emperor and the chairman of the Renaissance Association, it will not work. However, propaganda and revolutionary education are indispensable, so I will I thought of a drama troupe method."
Xiao Cui nodded slowly, obviously understanding Su Yonglin's words and Su Yonglin's intention.
"That's true. I still remember when my mother took me to see burlesques and dance performances when I was very young. I still remember that look and can't forget it."
Su Yonglin nodded.
"That's it. For the majority of farmers, watching a play can leave a more profound impression than listening to a story."
Xiao Cui is Su Yonglin's breaking point. She is not only the first person in the drama troupe, but also the first female person in the revival society, so it is of great significance.
In the future, Su Yonglin hopes that Xiao Cui can become an opportunity for more women to join the Renaissance and become a benchmark figure in the liberation movement. With the continuous technological innovation in society, more women can join in social production.
The opportunity for liberation appears with the progress of social production. With production positions and social wealth created, only then can we have a real social status.
Social status must be fought for with one's own hands and possessed by hard power, rather than relying on charity and giving from others, or flattery out of a mentality of taking advantage.
The status of those who are blown up has no foundation. Once those people stop blowing up, it will be very painful if they fall.
Under the instruction of Su Yonglin, Zhao Xirui is constantly creating people's literature stories, and is also trying to dramatize some female-themed stories, trying to write scripts, and plans to put these stories on the stage and perform them all over the country.
Su Yonglin hopes that Xiao Cui will become the first female member, and then Zhao Xirui will become the second. With them as representatives, the number of female members of the Renaissance will continue to increase in the future.
Along with social changes and ideological changes, Ming society will inevitably undergo drastic changes in the next one or two decades, and before these changes occur, Su Yonglin must also pave the way for public opinion.
The emergence of theater troupes and the full spread of live-action dramas are all foreshadowing public opinion, which will accompany social changes and give them a huge driving force for social changes.
After Su Yonglin explained, Xiao Cui finally understood Su Yonglin's hopes and expectations for her. She was curious about the work of the drama troupe and expressed her willingness to try it.
Su Yonglin told her not to worry, everything was still under preparation. She could continue to attend classes at the cadre training school, learn theoretical knowledge well, and have a deeper understanding of the political ideological system. Only by understanding it thoroughly can others realized.
Seeing the possibility in Xiao Cui, Su Yonglin realized that with the efforts of himself and his comrades in the Renaissance Society, Ming society was already changing.
Xiao Cui is the first person to awaken, but he is definitely not the last person.
The first Xiao Cui appeared, and thousands of Xiao Cui will appear in the future, and the group of female factory workers is the breeding ground that gave birth to one Xiao Cui after another.
Su Yonglin felt that the group of female factory workers who came from the same background as Xiao Cui were the most anti-traditional and courageous group of women in the Ming Dynasty, so the first members of the drama troupe would also be born from this group.
Xiao Cui will be a benchmark figure and will receive very good publicity.
The Propaganda Department of the Renaissance Association will use Xiao Cui as an important publicity target, send people to various factories to promote it, and recruit women who dare to make breakthroughs in life to come to Zhongdu to receive further education, join drama troupes, and then join the Renaissance meeting.
Su Yonglin is very clear that in the current social situation, the existence of factories is an important basis for women's awakening. This slightly trendy production unit provides women with an economic foundation and allows them to have their own status in social production.
The continued development of factories and production technology will promote the continued growth of this status. The more jobs that can be provided for women in society, the higher their social status will be. The subversion of old ideas and customs and the Destruction will also occur faster.
All this depends on whether the transformation of social production is rapid and successful.
It is not enough to rely on the domestic market. Before the industrialization transformation is completed, the domestic market lacks domestic demand. As the mainstream of society, farmers do not need so many industrial products.
At present, the largest domestic demand in Ming Dynasty society is still agricultural in nature. A wave of counter-urbanization is underway. Su Yonglin is correcting the false commercial prosperity phenomenon in society since the Jin and Song Dynasties.
The current social productivity is not enough to allow for the normal emergence and healthy development of prosperous commerce of the Song Dynasty.
The commercial prosperity in Kaifeng City and Lin'an City is the product of the exploitation and oppression of farmers. It is a premature and alienated commodity economy that can never give birth to the sprout of normal capitalism.
Therefore, after Su Yonglin lifted the exploitation and oppression, counter-urbanization inevitably appeared, a wave of large numbers of urban people returned to the countryside, and the small-scale peasant economy once again became the mainstream of society.
This is the real state of society.
However, this wave of false commercial prosperity in the Song Dynasty brought not only negative effects to the entire society, but also positive effects.
For example, the citizens and the related culture born from this group, as well as the few awakening thoughts that have appeared along with the false commercial prosperity.
Judging from the current overall situation, citizens' acceptance of new ideas is obviously faster and higher than that of farmers.
In order to prevent the social form that has finally awakened from returning to the medieval Sui and Tang Dynasties with the re-prosperity of the small-scale peasant economy, Su Yonglin will carry out collectivization transformation of social production.
Through collectivization transformation and ideological education support, we can lead people out of the production cycle of small-scale peasant economy, and vigorously promote the prosperity of factories and foreign trade.
While stimulating domestic demand, we also vigorously stimulated external demand. Through the pull of the two carriages, the Ming Dynasty's social economy was pulled in the right direction, instead of going back to the old road of the Sui and Tang Dynasties step by step.
Although the Sui and Tang Dynasties were glorious, they no longer conformed to the development of the times.
Now that Su Yonglin has seen a more bumpy but correct path, it is impossible to go back to the medieval era, even if it was the pinnacle of the Chinese Empire.
