Xin Qiji did not raise his hand, he insisted on his opinion.
He still wanted to go against Su Yonglin.
"I admit that what you said makes sense, but I still maintain my own opinion. Suffering is not so easy to remember. On the contrary, I think suffering is the easiest to forget. Otherwise, there should not be Qiao Feng and Lu in our revival meeting. Dian, and Liang Yuankai."
Hearing this, Su Yonglin was also rarely speechless. He didn't know what to say to prove that people can remember suffering and not forget where they came from.
Because this is not the case, Su Yonglin cannot tell lies with his eyes open. He just wants to describe people like Yao and Shun. That is not something he can do.
So he smiled bitterly.
"You'an, it's not that I don't understand what you said, but..."
Su Yonglin couldn't say anything against it.
"Chairman, I am not opposed to the republican calendar, but I support You'an's view."
At this time, Kong Maojie, who had been silent, slowly said: "I am the person who has participated in the trial of the most criminals among you. I think I have the right to speak on this issue. I have never been able to figure out why our comrades would Fallen, will sin.
So I tried to talk to them, trying to find out the reason. Over so long, I have talked to no less than 500 people. During my conversations with them, my most profound understanding was that suffering is really difficult to be remembered. On the contrary, , it is very easy to forget.
Suffering is so painful that even if everyone who has experienced it, after desperately pursuing a better life, they will immediately leave the suffering behind, try their best not to think about it, and focus on looking forward. , and even treat these sufferings as if they never existed.
People who have never experienced it will not think about it, nor will they understand what real suffering is. People who have experienced it mostly choose to forget it and not think about it. In this way, suffering becomes a textbook that is shelved. Although it exists, it does not exist. No one cares anymore. "
Nice romance
Su Yonglin listened to Kong Maojie's story and didn't know how to refute him for a while.
Su Yonglin didn't know how to answer him, and others didn't know how to refute.
But Kong Maojie hadn't finished speaking yet.
"Before, I responded to the chairman's call and read history books to learn about the past and present. I was more interested in the history of the Song Dynasty, but before I had finished the history of the Song Dynasty, I looked for the actual records of the emperors of the Song Dynasty. When I saw the actual records of Renzong , there is a story that makes me very emotional.
Di Qing, the general of the Song Dynasty, was sent to the border gate because he took the blame for others in his hometown. He was a military commander. According to the practice of the Song Dynasty, military commanders needed to have tattoos on their faces. Di Qing also had tattoos on his face. He never removed the tattoos and served as a military officer in the court. After becoming an official, it was not eliminated.
Emperor Renzong once persuaded Di Qing to use a special potion to erase the tattoos to make them look better, but Di Qing refused on the grounds that he did not want to forget his origins. He did not want to forget that he had earned all this through a near-death battle on the battlefield, so he wanted to keep the tattoos. Alert yourself and motivate yourself.
However, his ideas could not gain sympathy and understanding in front of the proud men in the court. Han Qi ridiculed him, Wang Boyong ridiculed him, and even ordinary people and even low-status prostitutes could ridicule Di Qing and say that he It's Chi Lao and Ban'er.
Di Qing has such outstanding achievements, but he is still despised for his tattoos. No one cares about his suffering. Everyone mocks him and laughs at him for his suffering. No matter how high his status is, his suffering is still that he is not understood and accepted. reason. "
After telling this story, looking at everyone in silence, Kong Maojie gave his own summary.
"No one likes suffering, and no one is willing to remember suffering, especially their own suffering. Suffering is disgusted and spurned by others. If people continue to preach suffering after they finally get rid of it, it is difficult to have good results. People will hate you."
These words were so heartbreaking that Su Yonglin was speechless, not knowing what words to use to refute Kong Maojie.
Kong Maojie does not oppose the Republican Annals Law. Even if he abstains from voting, the nine-member group can pass the resolution on the Republican Annals Law by more than the minority. There will be no problem with this.
But the truth told by Xin Qiji and Kong Maojie made everyone feel blocked.
Su Yonglin actually knows very well that whether it is the Republic's chronology, the Hongwu chronology, or the Ming Dynasty's chronology, it has more symbolic meaning. The essence of the country remains unchanged and has little to do with the chronology.
It is human nature to dislike suffering and strive to pursue a better life. This is okay, it is normal.
But the biggest problem is that you hate suffering to the point where you have to deliberately forget it even though you have experienced it, or even pretend it never existed.
Many of the earliest revolutionaries had never experienced suffering, but they were able to empathize with the suffering masses, and then betrayed their own class and joined the suffering masses, leading them to resist oppression and exploitation. This is the great glory of humanity.
After the revolution, it is also human nature that deliberately forgets suffering and strives to live a decadent life. It is the darkness of human nature.
Su Yonglin can change the world, but he cannot change human nature. Unless we all stop being human together, hoping to make everyone remember the suffering through education will definitely be effective, but the extent of the effect will vary from person to person.
In fact, sometimes, certain choices may not be the wishes and choices of the people themselves.
However, this is not a reason for him to give up his ideals, nor is it a reason for shameless people to be complacent.
Su Yonglin never imagined that he could end the darkness of human nature, and he never imagined that he could lead people collectively to become human beings and move towards a beautiful harmonious society, but he wanted social progress, little by little.
This is inseparable from the promotion of ideals.
"If everyone wants to forget about suffering, it will definitely come again, and I won't let it happen no matter what the cost."
Su Yonglin looked at the other eight people and said with a smile: "You just go ahead and do your job well. Leave this matter to me. Whether it succeeds or fails, you won't know until you do it."
Xin Qiji said nothing more, and neither did Kong Maojie. This nine-person group meeting decided a lot of things, but everyone knew in their hearts that the truly important decision only rested with Su Yonglin's will.
The heart of one person, the hearts of thousands of people, only Su Yonglin can do this kind of thing. There are people in the past and no one in the future.
Among the individuals in Chinese history who were able to accomplish this, before Su Yonglin, no one chose his route. They all chose to be independent men and enjoyed personal glory.
And no one knows whether the same person will appear after him.
However, what gave Su Yonglin a slight headache and was gratifying was that some people began to disagree with him and insisted on their own opinions.
This kind of thing has never happened before, and this kind of thing will always move in the direction Su Yonglin hopes because of Su Yonglin's huge prestige.
But now, some people are starting to dare to stick to their own opinions and refute Su Yonglin's.
It is a good thing that this kind of thing happens, at least it proves that Xin Qiji and Kong Maojie have begun to have the determination to be responsible for what they do.
But they didn't seem to understand Su Yonglin's painstaking efforts, so Su Yonglin didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
What makes Su Yonglin even more embarrassed is that there are some things that he himself is not sure whether they are good or bad.
Many things have two sides. Su Yonglin cannot cut off the positive possibility because of its negative meaning, nor can he completely abandon it and not use it.
He could only pin his last possibility on the People's Congress, hoping that people in the People's Congress could make decisions that were in line with the interests of Ming Dynasty and the people.
