C113 The Heart of Responsibility Under the Mission

"My father, he could only. . . He was only worthy of looking out at our park outside the fence. Every time he stops, every time he looks at our park in a daze. . . They are all shot by foreigners who are not from China! Children, this is China's territory! In China's territory! The place where our ancestors lived! We were expelled like dogs, and it was even written in China's park. . . "

Zhang Hong's hands were getting more and more powerful, "Write down the people and dogs. . . Cannot enter! Children, do you know that kind of feeling? When I was young. . . Every time I heard this experience when I was young, I would be filled with righteous indignation. And every time I saw Lil' Long Li destroy the East Asia Sick Man plaque, I would let out a long sigh of relief. Why? "

" Because at that time, we didn't have the ability to save the country in real life. We could only encourage ourselves through self-encouragement. Everyone worked together to realize the dream of working together to save our country. For such an ideal, We have a Save Congress, for this ideal, We have the ideology of the 54th young man, and because of this ideal. . . We used the time of three generations to consume the lives of two generations. . . Burning the years of the 2 generations in exchange for the foundation of our current 2005 industry. "

Zhang Hong continued in a low voice, "There might be a lot of fellow students asking why it was very difficult for us to save the country in China when we were in the Republic of China. "

"That's right. . . " Zhang Hong let out a long sigh, "Why? Let us settle the accounts of the Xin Chou Treaty, how about it?"

Zhang Hong seriously looked at every young man present. After seeing the young designers agree, he began to speak.

"The compensation for the 'Clown Xin Treaty', according to the population of China at that time, is one tael per person, a total of 450 million taels, paid in 39 years. The annual interest is four centimeters, and the total interest is 9. 82 billion taels. There are still more than 0. 2 billion taels for each province. Hence, the total was more than 1 billion taels of silver. This huge sum is equivalent to 12 times the Qing Government's revenue!"

Zhang Hong's voice was very low as he continued," Just the 'Clown Xin Treaty' alone is enough to overdraft our country's 12 years of income from the national treasury. Furthermore, at that time we signed close to forty unfair treaties?"

This shocking number made the children's eyes widen. They had never seen such a clear understanding of these treaties before.

"You don't believe in so much money, do you? Alright, let's settle an economic score.

Clown Xin Treaty 450 million silver compensation, dated to 39 years, the total capital and interest is about 1 billion silver, equivalent to 10 times the annual income of the Qing government, which is 10 years of tax.

The Ma Guan Treaty had 200 million silver as compensation, and it had to be paid within 3 years. It was equivalent to two times the annual income of the Qing government, which was the tax of two years.

The 20 million silver from the Nan Jing Treaty. It was equivalent to a quarter of the Qing government's annual income. It was also a quarter of the tax.

Tianjin Treaty and Beijing Treaty added together. There was a total of 16 million silver. In addition, there was also 30 million silver that was paid to Japan to redeem Liaodong. These few added up to a total of 66 million taels. It was equivalent to the Qing government's annual income for half a year. In other words, six months of tax revenue.

Just these few unfair treaties overdraft our tax for how many years? Fifteen years! How much is it worth?

Did everyone know that one tael of silver was 200 RMB? In other words. . . "

Zhang Hong lengthens his voice and continues to speak under the gazes of the young designers.

Zhang Hong showed everyone a long list, "These densely packed over 40 unfair treaties, a total of reparations. A total of 1. 5 billion taels of silver, converted into RMB from 1956, about 30 billion RMB, and what is the average salary in 1956?"

Zhang Hong clenched his fists, "About 20 yuan! According to the 400 million people at that time, only 100 million people can earn their salary. That is 100 million people, everyone will go bankrupt. Those who don't eat or drink, donate the annual salary of 240 yuan, and continuously donate for 12 years to be able to pay back this money! If according to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there are less than 2000 people who can earn 20 yuan, If it was calculated based on half of it being used to pay the tax, then the people of the Qing Dynasty would not eat or drink. No. . . Perhaps even longer, it would be 150 years!"

150 years?! All the children looked at each other. Such a number was shocking and unbelievable.

"In that era where the Han and dogs were not allowed to enter, in that era where the sick man from Eastern Asia was a coward, even when the Republic of China was established, it still did not get rid of the fate of accumulating poverty and weakening. "

Zhang Hong pointed at the picture on the PowerPoint and read with a heavy heart, "In 1928, the Nanjing National Democrats Party in power, in its 20 plus years of rule, although a large-scale plan to develop the railway and set up the railway department to manage the entire country's railway industry, there are not many trains built. "

Speaking up to this point, Zhang Hong's mood became even more downcast. "The country's railway is short of branches. Under the decline of the country, the people are poor, and the years of war have passed. There has never been a change. In 1949, there were 40,69 motorcycles that could be counted in China. They came from more than 30 factories in nine countries, and there were 198 types of motorcycles. No wonder people called China the "Ten Thousand Nation Motorcycle Museum"!"

Zhang Hong looked at the young engineers below the stage and said, "Children, do you know the shame of the Myriad Kingdom Motorcycle Museum? Our country. . . Our railway is not ours, not for our benefit! It is for the foreigners themselves! You can imagine when the foreigners are all here, When our family is fighting, we can only watch from the side. Can't you even say a word?"

Zhang Hong closed his eyes and continued. "No. . . You can't imagine, because the flames of war are already very far away from you. But I. . . I have experienced that generation of people who went against the American Empire, I am able to put myself in my shoes to understand, I am able to completely understand why! "

Zhang Hong looks at the young designers and continues, "Because of us China people, and because of us China people. None of them are from any of the heavy tech companies or technologies. Even if we give in, we will be forced to pay back the loan for ten years. Even 20 years, 30 years. . . Forty years, a hundred years! We were once weak. . . We gave in, but what we got back was not the rise of the Heavy Industrial after the sales of cigarettes at Tiger Gate. It was the 1. 5 billion taels of silver and 30 billion yuan after the defeat of the Sea of Firmiana!"

Zhang Hong took a deep breath and looked at each child, "If we convert it to the property price of 2005, based on the housing price of Shanghai, 9000 yuan, 4,000 yuan, the total compensation for A Wu Hai after the war is 1. 5 billion silver, which is equivalent to 6 trillion yuan! Children, isn't it shocking?"

The young designers were silent. Their hearts were incomparably heavy at this moment.

"This is the end of the Qing Dynasty where we are weak and poor. This is the era when we lose our power and disgrace our country. This is the era where we used to fall behind and get beaten up! As for you, do you want to return to that era? " Zhang Hong suddenly raised his voice.

"No!"

"Absolutely no hope!"

"Yeah, you guys don't want to. . . No one wanted it. Children, after the People's Republic of China was established on October 1, 1949, In 1949, a total of 8,278 kilometers of railway was repaired in a year. At the end of 1949, The national railway had a range of 21, 810 kilometers. Customer conversion rate was 314. 01 billion tons of kilometers. Do you know? Our total mileage is only 20,000 kilometers!" Zhang Hong looked at every young designer with a melancholic expression.

"By the end of 1980, the railway's mileage is 49, 940 kilometers. The foundation of the national railway network is basically formed, and the turnover of the customer is 7, Zhang Hong said. 08. 7 billion tons of kilometers. In 1982, it pointed out that railway transportation had become an important factor that restricted the development of the nation's economy, and it stated that they were going to war against Great Qin in the north. They would attack Hengguang in the south and take the east of China. By the end of 1985, The national railway was 52, 119 kilometers long. The daily turnover of passenger goods exceeded 1 trillion kilometers. By the time New China was established in 1949, China's railway only had a range of 218 thousand kilometers. By the end of 2003, China's railway reached 730,000 kilometers!"

Zhang Hong stopped talking and looked at every young designer. " Children, we have 9. 6 million square kilometers, and up until now, we only have 730,000 kilometers of railway, while America has 250,000 kilometers! We still have too much work to do, too many tasks to complete, really too much. "

Zhang Hong slowed down his tone, took a deep breath and continued, "Until now, yes, there are still a lot of technologies that have been suppressed by people, how to speed up the train, how to speed up the railway, how to increase the speed of transportation, how to make the train more advanced, these are all the directions that we need to investigate and investigate. And these. . . "

"We have already burned away the life of the 3rd generation railway man, the following road, We really. . . Will have to rely on you. We will rely on you to let those foreigners who used to overdraft us for 150 years see, we Chinese. . . We'll have to rely on you to make those foreigners who used to scold us for not being allowed to enter open their eyes wide and look at the civilization of our China for 5,000 years. What kind of Chinese children have been raised!"

Zhang Hong looks at the designers who are doing it with hope," We have to rely on you to make those people who are still not allowed to participate in high-end technology research. Stop us, stop us. . . Watch out for us foreigners who have surpassed our technology, and see why our China has not collapsed for five thousand years! We have our beliefs. We have our totem, and that is the word 'China' cannot be trampled on!"

" We used 150 years to reflect on the past, and we used 100 years to work hard. We used up 5 generations of people, 20 years for each generation. . . To create, to surpass. . . To work hard, I believe. . . I always believe that as long as it's a hundred years. . . As long as it's a hundred years, we'll be able to revive. . . I believe. . . I firmly believe that I will always remember and believe. . . However, child. . . What about you? Do you believe that your dream of reviving a century will come true, just like me?" Zhang Hong asked earnestly.

"We believe!"

"We believe it!"

" We believe in it! "
