Meng Youtian and Axiu were eating while lowering their heads, laughing and laughing a few girls came in, Brother Meng, Axiu called and surrounded him.
"Where are you?" Meng Youtian smiled and stood up, saying hello, "Didn't you talk about the anti-Japanese military and political school in western Hebei? Why are they all here?"
"Oh, don't mention it." Bai Junting honestly pushed a table, and the two tables became one, and said with a smile: "We have worked so hard these days. Brother Meng, where are you not rewarding us?"
Meng Youtian nodded with a smile, pointed to the five or six dishes written on the small blackboard, and said, "Okay, this little thing is not easy, you order it!"
The four girls ordered a few dishes, ordered tofu soup and pancakes, and chatted about their experience of leaving Shili Village.
The Western Hebei Anti-Japanese Military and Political School was originally located in Qiaojia Village, Motianling, Neiqiu County, Hebei Province. Qin Lianfang and others were considered the second-year students. They took the notice and arrived at the place for a few days. Before the students from other places arrived, the Japanese army began the siege of the Nine Routes. The teachers, students and staff of the school were dealt with the enemy with the troops, first moved to Jiangshui Town, and then disbanded the school and evacuated the students back to their original units. When the Japanese were crushed and swept the Japanese, the county also opened an anti-Japanese military and political training class, which was divided into two parts: the civil movement and military. The campus site was in Anping Town. Qin Lianfang and others stayed and were trained in the training class.
"What's wrong with your mouth? Is it blistering?" Meng Youtian asked in confusion.
Qin Lianfang smiled and said, "It's not a hot thing. It's hot. There are hundreds of people in the training class who eat in stalls. Everyone eats millet and radish soup. Everyone eats fast. If we can't catch up, we can boil it and soak it."
"What's the point of boiling it out? We suffered even more in Motianling." Bai Junting said while stuffing vegetables into her mouth: "It was quite cold at that time, and she slept with a cold kang. We two covered ourselves with a quilt, and our calves were so cold that we were stooping. We got up in the middle of the night and turned our calves to each other."
"When the Japanese came, we followed us to the ravine and left with blood blisters." Li Yuehua then added: "Lian Fang was crying."
"Aren't you crying too?" Qin Lianfang couldn't help but reveal Li Yuehua's shortcomings.
"Warning the Japanese and doing the revolution, how can we not endure hardship?" The girl named Miaomiao interrupted. It was the first time she and Meng Youtian met, but they seemed to be very interested, "Brother Meng is going to fight the Japanese, so we are far from here."
As soon as he said this, the eyes of the others moved to Meng Youtian. Bai Junting stretched out her thumb and said, "Brother Meng is so powerful. He led the militia and beat the Japanese devils to a great extent. I heard that he even killed a Japanese devil official."
"Yes. We went to see the spoils when they were exhibited in the town." Li Yuehua said: "I thought you could come too, but I was very disappointed later. That Dayong and that Xiaoquan were definitely not as vivid and detailed as Brother Meng said."
"We asked Xiaoquan, and I heard that Zijuan - that, who is sick, is very sad." Qin Lianfang asked softly: "How is it now? Have you ever seen a doctor?"
"It's much better. I'm here to take her to see a doctor this time." Meng Youtian said: "She is afraid of too many people and is afraid of noise, so she and my mother find a quiet place to wait. After buying things, Axiu and I went back."
"Brother Meng, the Military Branch is using the materials you wrote as textbooks. You should come out to teach your anti-Japanese experience and should not be delayed by the little things at home." Miaomiao seemed a little dissatisfied and looked at Meng Youtian and said, "When the country is in trouble, personal private affairs, such as love, filial piety and brotherhood. You can ignore them. It must be beneficial to the War of Resistance and the country, and everything should be put aside."
Meng Youtian frowned slightly. The truth sounds noble and great, but why does it sound a bit awkward?
"I don't agree with you." Li Yuehua stopped chopsticks and retorted: "I don't oppose sacrificing a little personal interests, doing more things for the country and the nation. But it's meaningful to connect everything with the anti-Japanese war and the country, otherwise it's optional and can be ignored. This is too extreme. Brother Meng has a bad leg but is not afraid of sacrifice and fights bravely. He has done a good job. Why do you need to let him leave his beloved girl and become a ruthless and unrighteous person?"
"During the national crisis, the relationship between men and women should be filled with tears, taking care of each other and serving the country. A man is a soldier, and a woman is also a soldier. A husband does not belong to a wife, and a wife does not belong to a husband, and he and she belong to the country." Miaomiao was not to be outdone and explained his own point of view, "If the country is no longer a country, even if a lover becomes a relative, he will be just a pair of fallen slaves who can fall in love."
"This is a bit harsh." Qin Lianfang defended Meng Youtian seriously, "Did everyone get married and no longer have children during the War of Resistance Against Japan? I heard that even the 258th Regiment in the army has the marriage standards! Of course, under the current extremely special historical conditions, it is impossible to treat marriage and love as gentlely as in peacetime, and make vows. Brother Meng is not a soldier, so why should he be harsh on him? It is understandable to pursue personal happiness!"
"The critical reality does not leave a place for individuals and love as personal happiness." Miaomiao insisted on her own point of view stubbornly, "Individuals are no longer important, and they should take everything out, or put aside all constraints to serve the country. I think so, and I am also ready to do this. My heart, including my body, will all contribute to the great cause of the War of Resistance and Defense of the Country. Just imagine, doing revolution is a bloody thing, and talking about love is a matter of happiness. How can you step on two boats?"
Meng Youtian blinked his eyes and seemed to remember something. Miaomiao's views seemed to coincide with the views of a famous writer. In order to save the country, both men and women have to work hard, which is nothing. From this, it is inferred that it is a private matter for women to provide their bodies to men who are individuals, but if they are provided to men who are soldiers who are saving the country, it is to serve the country and it is worthy of praise.
Miaomiao's thoughts are classical and far from Meng Youtian's modern concepts. If they develop according to Miaomiao's view, they will enter a state of "no self". Perhaps it is very noble, but they are also easily misled and exploited, becoming nearly blind, overly simple, and even having a fanatical religious color. Meng Youtian thought of that era full of fanaticism, and the root cause may be from this time? During the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was right to unify thoughts, but excessively restraining individuals' thinking and behaviors, and going to extremes is something he could not accept.
