Smart people can't do things, and the world belongs to fools.
-1926165438+1October 27th at Jimei school in Xiamen.
Today, I am glad to have the opportunity to talk with you in your beautiful school and this auditorium. My topic is: "A wise man can't do anything, and the world belongs to a fool." When you first hear this sentence, you may feel strange, but it's true. This was the case in the past and will certainly be the case in the future. Looking around, aren't there many smart people in the world today? But they can't do things. Why? Because they thought about it, and finally they could do nothing. They think too much about personal interests and care too much about personal gains and losses. They think and think, only those that are beneficial to themselves will do it, and those that are beneficial to society and others will do it. Even if they are willing to do it, they are often incomplete, insincere and irresponsible, so that they fail and accomplish nothing. You see, are all smart people like this now? They are so-called "smart people" who calculate for themselves. Such a "wise man" can never do anything beneficial to the people.
You see, today's so-called "smart people", such as Duan and Jia Deyao, only know how to collude with imperialism and slaughter innocent patriotic workers and students. They are executioners with blood on their hands; Another example is Chen Xiying, Tang Youren and other "modern critics", who will only reverse the "New Culture Movement" and suppress those who petition against imperialism and patriotism. They are running dogs of reactionary warlords. They will treat "smart" as a steel knife and kill people at the sight of blood; They will also treat "smart" as a soft knife, killing people without seeing blood. They think about it, but in the end they can't do good things that are beneficial to the people, but they can do bad things that are harmful to the country.
In this world, there is another kind of people who are willing to give up their own interests for the benefit of the masses; They are willing to give their lives for the independence and freedom of the country. Such people are patriots, revolutionaries and creators of human happiness. Such people are fools in the eyes of so-called "smart people". However, we must know that the world is a fool's world, supported by fools, promoted by fools, created by fools, and ultimately belongs to fools. These ignorant people are the masses of workers and peasants to be helped in Dr. Sun Yat-sen's "Three Major Policies". These workers and peasants are the largest in human society. They have great courage and industrious virtue, and everything in the world is created by their labor. Revolutionary young students are the most passionate, diligent and willing to sacrifice among the masses. The elimination of darkness and the emergence of light, such revolutionary young students, often play the greatest role. However, in the eyes of the rulers and exploiters of feudal society in the past, these working workers and peasants and these bloody revolutionary youths were all ignorant people and fools, and only they could be regarded as "smart people".
However, these so-called "smart people" in the old society were lazy, selfish, dissolute and shameless, and doomed to be eliminated; The so-called "fools" revolutionary youth and working workers and peasants are just social reformers and creators of the world. They are the masters of the world and the world belongs to them. Dear friends, dear friends,
Thank you for coming!
Everyone knows my background. I study medicine. But after that incident, I changed my mind and gave up medical literature. From then on, I kept my responsibilities in mind and wrote some words that awakened the people's souls and frightened the reactionaries. I don't know how many hardships I have endured for this, but I am willing, because my creation has been supported and recognized by the broad masses of revolutionary people, especially Chairman Mao's high evaluation of me, which has strengthened my determination to take this road. You know, even when Lin Biao and Jiang Qing were rampant, this batch was overthrown, and that batch stinked. Even Confucius was in born to die two thousand years ago, but I am as safe as Mount Tai. I always thought that I would go along this road without hesitation until the end of my life.
However, in recent years, I have painfully realized that the world has changed so fast that it has become elusive for me who could have seen everything. When I told college students "I commend Xuanyuan with blood" and "bow my head and be a willing ox", they laughed and leaned forward and backward, and the words "Why should you be serious?" stung me deeply. I often write articles criticizing the disadvantages of the times, but the newspapers are pushed around and nobody wants them. Is it because I am too tired in Jiang Lang, or am I behind the times? I'm confused. Later, a friend who was an editor said to me, "What do you think you wrote? What age is it now, you old gentleman can't put yourself in the other's shoes and describe the ever-changing changes in the motherland since the reform and opening up? " I see! But my consistent writing style determines my writing habits. He also advised me to write more popular novels, such as romance, murder, detection, etc., with much higher remuneration, and your "Ning-style scholar's wife's bed", many people want to know what it is! I laughed and cried, like a sore throat.
In the past two years, you must have found a strange phenomenon. Throwing sewage at me has become a very fashionable event in the literary world. Among them, if it is vicious, it must belong to Su. If it is vicious, Wang Shuo deserves it. I would appreciate it if they found fault out of "deep love and serious responsibility", but this is not the case. A large number of literary masters, led by Wang Shuo and Su, seem to have sworn enemies with me, insisting on eating my flesh and sleeping my skin, and driving me into eighteen layers of hell. I closed the door to think if I accidentally offended them, but I searched all my articles, and none of them really offended their ancestors. They threw daggers and javelins at me, which made me hard to guard against. Some of them accused me of why Chen Tianhua, who was studying in Japan, committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea in Tokyo in order to motivate his comrades to save the country, and Qiu Jin, who returned home together, died heroically for the revolutionary cause, while I drag out an ignoble existence; Someone scolded me for why my students and others went to the Duan government to petition and were killed. As a teacher, I usually teach students to save the country and the people, but I dare not accompany (let alone lead) students to March in the streets at critical times. Afterwards, I hypocritically praised them for "daring to face the bleak life and the dripping blood" in "In Memory of Liu Hezhen", but I was "silent, silent". Some ironically say that I not only have no political quality, but also have no minimum human nature. I watched Rou Shi, Yin Fu and other friends get shot. Why didn't I organize troops to rob the medal ceremony and smash the prison car? I'm just chanting "I can't bear to see my peers become new ghosts, and look for poetry under the knife"; Some laughed at me when the "9- 18" incident broke out, why didn't I persevere and "cut the broadsword on the head of the devil", while I was very much in love with my wife Jamlom, I was full and had nothing to do to "hit Reservoir Dogs"; Some scolded me for climbing the snowy mountains and crossing the grassland during the Long March of the Red Army, but I hid in a small building and slept with my wife, regardless of Xia Chunqiu in winter ... Such a bad record was so bad that I was called "the most correct, brave, resolute and enthusiastic national hero who charged at the enemy" by the great man who did not know what was drunk. Friends, I don't know how you feel after hearing this. I've been numb for a long time, and nothing should have happened. As a dying man, I have no time, energy and money to dispute with them. I can only give up and give up like Mark Twain ran for governor.
Over the years, our family has lived on the previous manuscript fee, and the hardships of life can be imagined. I can catch this, but I'm worried about doing nothing! It's easy to make some money by advertising my reputation (whether it's a good reputation in the past or a bad reputation now), but my personality determines that I won't do it. As we all know, my hometown Shaoxing is famous for me, and its financial resources are rolling in. Even the poor characters in my works have been robbed of their trademarks by shrewd businessmen. It is said that the value of "Kong Yiji" has reached tens of millions. I remember that Ah Q, who became a big shot not long ago, asked me to rewrite a biography for his name with 10 million cash, but I just refused. I can't do anything wrong to the readers. When he left, he said angrily, see you in court and sue me for violating his reputation and privacy. But don't worry about me. I haven't received a subpoena from the court, and I'm not easy to mess with. I have a picture of him raping Wu Ma.
In view of my deteriorating economic situation, an old scholar is very helpless and can't find other ways at the moment. It suddenly occurred to me that I used to study medicine and I haven't lost it for so many years. Why not go back to your old job and open a private clinic? It is said that the money from the private clinic comes quickly, which can make him earn for several years and give an account to the unemployed children at home.
Friends, I can only explain these. In order to survive, I have reached the end of my rope. From "abandoning medicine for literature" to "abandoning literature for medicine" today, I have come a long way in this world and returned to the starting point. You don't have to feel sad and sad for me. Gorbachev knelt on an advertisement in a biscuit shop and the mayor resigned. He would rather fall at Liu Xiaoqing's feet and beg for mercy. What am I, an outdated writer? I originally planned to put an advertisement in the newspaper for "abandoning literature to become a doctor", but I couldn't come up with 1,000 yuan for Lian Deng's advertisement, so I bought it from my subsidiary for 100 yuan: I contacted the theater, and I shared the ticket income with the theater, which was enough for me to open a clinic.
Thanks again. I am sorry for millions of readers. After my clinic opens, you can get free treatment in 50 yuan with your admission ticket tonight and get my signature.
Dear friends present, welcome to our office-No.518, Zhifu Road, when you feel unwell.
_ _ _ _ Zhou Shuren, who studied medicine like my father, and later gave up medicine to save his soul, has been forced to return to the truth today, abandoning literature and becoming a doctor, and will always bow down as a willing ox.
