There is a character in "Bright Sword", called Tian Moxuan, who is Tian Yu's father and Li Yunlong's father-in-law.
The author portrayed him as a "progressive squire" and "intellectual" with a conscience, a mind, a backbone, an insight, and the courage to pinpoint the shortcomings of the times. However, the more I look at it, the more I feel that this kind of person is disgusting.
Who else compares Tian Moxuan and Lu Xun? Lu Xun's national soul could not be suppressed.
In fact, Lu Xun's favorite scolding is someone like Tian Moxuan.
Lu Xun's novel "Li Shui" tells such a story: When Dayu ruled the water, a group of scholars, intellectuals, and scholars and masters stood on the dry shore pointing fingers, yin and yang, and all of them were "understanding the king", Dayu led the group of black, skinny, iron-like people to fight against the heavens and the earth, and desperately fought against disasters, but the masters were creating Dayu's rumors, digging Dayu's ancestral grave, arranging Dayu's life, saying that Dayu was a worm, writing a paper to examine "insects can cure water"? Isn't that what we're talking about?
Does what Tian Moxuan said make sense? Let's take a look.
First of all, he opposed the War of Liberation, saying that "if the Kuomintang and the Communist Party put aside the ideological struggle," the world would be too peaceful, and relations with the United States would be good. Then I have to ask, when the Kuomintang reactionaries were cleaning up the party, when they carried out massacres in the Soviet zone, "the stone wanted to pass the knife, the Mao wanted to overheat, and the people wanted to change the seeds", what was Tian Moxuan doing? Why didn't he persuade the KMT to "put aside the ideological struggle"?
Tian Moxuan was not ashamed to say that all wars were unjust and were "organized carnage," which was actually the "civil war without righteousness" that had flourished in the previous decade, and described the great revolution, agrarian revolution, and liberation war in modern China as a "civil war" without justice or injustice.
In fact, the support of millions of people in the Soviet Zone for the Red Army, the support of the people in the Liberated Areas for land reform, and the support of millions of people in the Huaihai Campaign pushing carts to support the People's Liberation Army have already proved that justice is on whose side! Unfortunately, Tian Moxuan hid in the courtyard of the deep mansion and could not see it, he claimed to be a "citizen", but he did not understand the people's will and people at that time.
Or, in other words, when the organized people overthrew the three mountains and liquidated the crimes of the reactionaries, he jumped out to "oppose the war," advocated "shelving ideological struggle," and slandered the people's war of liberation as "organized slaughter."
Those progressive masses, poor peasants, women cadres, and innocent children who have been tortured and killed by the Kuomintang reactionaries and the landlords' homecoming regiments should be eager to eat their flesh, right?
Secondly, he also opposed the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, saying that "the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has delayed China's national economy for ten years," and he also said that "China does not need so many soldiers" and that "we should devote our energy to economic construction." But did he figure out the facts? Did we take the initiative to provoke the war? Or did U.S. imperialism bomb Dandong first, and the Seventh Fleet sailed into the Taiwan Strait and burned the flames of war on our heads?
He did not understand the situation of new China's construction at that time, most of China's heavy industry was in the northeast liaoning region, if the US military was allowed to occupy the whole territory of Korea and insert military bases along the Yalu River, then there would be almost no peace in China's northeast and coastal areas, and our industrialization would not be able to start! The sides of the bed are all enemy guns and cannons, so how can we engage in economic construction? Therefore, Mr. Peng will say: "If it is not a big deal to destroy and then build, it will be a few years after the liberation war is victorious."
Tian Moxuan can be said to understand neither the international situation nor economic construction; he does not understand "one punch to open the punch, lest a hundred punches come"; only by hitting imperialism and hitting our deterrent power can we have space and capital to engage in economic construction and complete industrialization! In fact, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a real war for the founding of New China, which not only helped us win international dignity, but also won a large amount of industrial and scientific and technological assistance from the Soviet Union; the great powers of the East and the West have since had to look at China with astonishment, and from this time on, we have had a real international right to speak.
Finally, in the novel, Tian Moxuan was deliberately hung up, so that he, as a "wise man" and "prophet", predicted the future Sino-Soviet confrontation, and also inspired Comrade Ding Wei... This is actually a big failure, the problem of China and the Soviet Union was originally a problem that had been studied ten million times at that time, and it had long been prepared for the future, and he still needed a landlord and squire who stayed at home to guide him?
Tian Moxuan's position is too obvious, he has always believed that the Soviet Union is a threat, and the United States can be a "friend", which exposes the ass again, and co-conspires with the Soviet Union to engage in great power chauvinism, and the United States will not engage in hegemonism? The Soviet Revisionists and we have a conflict on Treasure Island, and the United States will not aim at us with atomic bombs? Speaking of which, Tian Moxuan is not anti-Soviet, but anti-communist.
He mouthed one by one that "China does not need so many soldiers", and then played up the threat of the Soviet Union, co-authoring do not want Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, you Master Tian to defend the family and defend the country? He said that "China needs more experts and engineers", but you Tian Laoye is not ah, do you understand mathematics, physics, chemistry? Or do you understand engineering? You don't even need to cultivate your own land, the four bodies are not diligent and grainless, and those who are full of mouths are also saints, and they are not as knowledgeable as Ding Wei, what kind of "intellectual" is he?
Tian Moxuan is an old thing that lived until liberation in the late Qing Dynasty, right? The country has been weak for decades, the people have been oppressed for decades, and imperialism, landlords, warlords, and compradors have been poisoning China for decades. Oh, I forgot, he himself is a landlord and squire, he is gentle and benevolent, he is also a person who sucks the blood of poor peasant tenants, he can raise his dignity in the chaotic world, he has not contributed to the war, he has not shed blood in liberation, he has not sweated in the construction of the motherland, and then he can stand on the dry shore and point fingers at New China?
He must really care about the well-being of the people, and he can completely distribute his family property and land to the poor peasants first, and jointly set up his own industry in public-private partnerships, and then work in the fields, enter the factories, and participate in the fierce socialist construction. Instead of braging at the wine table at the PLA soldiers who have been through many battles and bleeding and sweating.
When Tian Moxuan faced the cadres of the People's Liberation Army, he was very tough and full of mouth; "My Tian Moxuan has only succumbed to the truth all his life, and he has never been afraid of any pistol." ”
Isn't it because he is facing the People's Liberation Army with "three major disciplines and eight attentions"? Do you let him try to speak the "truth" in the face of the Japanese puppet army and the Kuomintang army?
Du Liang's penmanship was too poor, and he wanted to portray an intellectual with a conscience, backbone, neutrality, and objectivity, but this intellectual did not have a hard waist pole for the Japanese during the War of Resistance, nor did he have a hard waist pole against the Kuomintang reactionaries during the War of Liberation. At this time, you are obviously the most respected CPPCC person, and you have given all your face, so who will show you the score?
What is this called? It's called "pointing a gun at a good guy"!
Isn't today's "public knowledge" a person like Old Master Tian?
