Now many young people have celebrated foreign festivals, for example, Valentine's Day in the West is more festive than Tanabata in China. Christmas and Christmas Eve streets are even more crowded, with traffic jams and pedestrian streets.
If you encounter April Fool's Day do not find friends or partners to make a joke is not like a holiday, there are also April Fool's Day accidents, some couples because of an April Fool's Day joke, the result ended in a breakup, many years of friends have an April Fool's Day, the result is a vendetta, but these things are thousands of miles worse than the April Fool's Day "joke" to be said today.
On an April Fool's Day more than 70 years ago, someone made a "joke" that alarmed Chiang Kai-shek, who personally ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and after checking for a while, it was found that the joke had evolved into a supernatural event.
On April 1, 1948, the Nanjing RenBao published a shocking news story about an old Taoist monk who had come to Nanjing Jiming Temple to hang up an order.
The hanging order refers to the Yunyou monks going to other monasteries to spend the night, this news is strange in a Taoist monk's temple to spend the night, why didn't he go to the Taoist Temple but chose to stay in the Buddhist temple?
The newspaper did not explain the reason, only said that the old way has some spells, fairy wind Dao bone, nearly flower armor, and does not eat human fireworks, neither sleep, nor eat, only eat once a year, he eats things different from ordinary people, specially filled with copper and iron hunger, in addition to the good fortune of people, know the future of the past.
One day three tourists were watching the scenery in front of Jiming Temple, and Lao Dao happened to pass by, pointing at the three people and saying, "Are you the representative of the National Congress?" ”
Not only did he guess the identity of the other party, but he also said the number of votes when the three people were elected.
This made the three people very surprised, they did not expect that there were such strange people in the world, and they could see through their identities at a glance.
This news soon caused a sensation in Nanjing, mainly because "Nanjing Ren Bao" was not an ordinary newspaper, and it could be regarded as one of the most influential newspapers in Nanjing that year.
Founded in 1936 at the expense of the writer Zhang Hexhui and with himself as its president, the newspaper advocated anti-Japanese resistance and was forced to cease publications before the fall of Nanjing.
Zhang Hateshui may not have been heard by many people, but his works should be slightly heard by everyone, "The Golden Powder Family" and "Laughing Karma".
In 1946, the Nanjing Renbao was revived, and Zhang Youluan, who had previously served as vice president, was appointed as its president.
In short, the influence of "Nanjing Ren Bao" is very large, in addition to the introduction of the old Dao, the newspaper also attaches a piece of the old way holding the dragon head and the ancient staff, so many people believe in the old way.
This news became the hottest topic of the day in Nanjing, almost everyone knew it, and the heat was once higher than an important meeting held by the Kuomintang in Nanjing that day, the purpose of this meeting was to elect the "vice president" of the National Government, and the representatives of the "National Congress" attended the meeting one after another, but most of them sat downstage to study the "Nanjing Renbao" report on the old way, and did not have the heart to listen to what the spokesman on the stage said, because this old road is likely to solve the things they are most concerned about at present.
At that time, Li Zongren and Sun Yat-sen's eldest son, Sun Ke, were fighting for the position of vice president.
If the old way is really as magical as the newspapers say, these deputies can completely stand in line before the election results and avoid the situation of taking the wrong team, for these deputies, it does not matter who is elected, the important thing is that they must not choose the wrong side.
Originally, they were worried about this matter, but now such an "old immortal" could completely solve the situation in which they were in a dilemma.
As soon as the conference ended, a large number of delegates rushed to the Jiming Temple, seeking guidance from the old way.
When they arrived at the Jiming Temple, the answer they got was: There was no old Taoist priest in the temple as they said, and there had never been a Daoist monk hanging orders in the temple.
When they arrived at the newspaper house, the newspaper office replied to them: silence. The people in the newspaper office did not say anything about the old way.
One by one, the deputies were sleeping and eating, using their connections to move around, and they must find out this magical old Taoist.
It was not until another news in the Nanjing Ren Bao came out the next morning that the deputies stopped looking for the old way, and their thoughts at this time were how to dismantle the newspaper library of the Nanjing Ren Bao.
On April 2, the "Nanjing Ren Bao" wrote: Yesterday's news was purely fabricated, and this article was issued in response to "April Fool's Day", just to make a joke with readers, and the attached photo was just an ordinary still.
As soon as this matter was fermented, some people went to Chiang Kai-shek to file a complaint, and these deputies did not want to do the right thing all day long, and they were specifically thinking about how to speculate and fall, and they should teach these people who are not doing their work well, let them do more practical things, and think less about what they don't have.
The person who filed the complaint was very right, but Chiang Kai-shek prevaricated on the grounds that "in a special period, special treatment, and at a critical moment, unity should be the most important."
The reason why Chiang Kai-shek did not pursue this matter was because he also sent someone to the Jiming Temple, and if these deputies were dealt with, wouldn't he have even punched himself in the face?
But Chiang Kai-shek was a suspicious and sensitive person, and a few days later he decided to investigate this matter, will the old way really exist, but the "Nanjing Renbao" is afraid of too much influence before saying that it is an April Fool's Day joke?
Even if the old way really does not exist, this kind of thing happens at this juncture, it must be clearly checked, Chiang Kai-shek is obviously not satisfied with the explanation of jokes, and suspects that someone behind the scenes is deliberately operating.
In order to find out this matter as soon as possible, Chiang Kai-shek crossed his ranks and issued an order asking Huang Zhenwu, director of the Nanjing Police Department, to personally investigate the matter and make sure to investigate the whole matter clearly.
However, it is okay not to investigate this matter, but after in-depth investigation, there is a problem, and with the deepening of the investigation, this matter becomes more and more strange.
After Huang Zhenwu received the order, he immediately came to the newspaper to investigate the matter, and Zhang Youluan learned that the matter was so big that he did not dare to hide anything, and quickly told Huang Zhenwu the truth.
A week before April Fool's Day, a man who called himself Liu Jinfeng came to the newspaper hall and said that there was a good news to tell the person in charge of the newspaper, Zhang Youluan personally received Liu Jinfeng, Liu Jinfeng claimed to live in Babao East Street, was a senior reader of the "Nanjing Ren Bao", liked the "Nanjing Ren Bao" very much, and put forward a suggestion, you can use April Fool's Day a week later to publish an "exaggerated" article, which will definitely win everyone's attention, and the circulation of the newspaper will rise.
Liu Jinfeng also wrote a script about "Lao Dao" in advance to Zhang Youluan, in order to increase the persuasiveness should also help Lao Dao with a "photo", Liu Jinfeng introduced himself, which is also the purpose of his trip, Zhang Youluan looked at Liu Jinfeng and indeed had some fairy wind Dao bones, and decided to let Liu Jinfeng play Lao Dao to take a photo.
As soon as the fake news came out, as Liu Jinfeng said, the circulation of the newspaper was rising day by day, but within a few days someone came to the door, and the previous representatives were still good to deal with, Huang Zhenwu came to the door, this is not a joke.
In order to find out the truth, Zhang Youluan decided to go to Babao East Street to find Liu Jinfeng to see if it was as Huang Zhenwu said, there was a pusher behind Liu Jinfeng, and when Zhang Youluan came to Babao East Street, he was dumbfounded, there was indeed a person named Liu Jinfeng here, and he was also a loyal reader of Nanjing People's Daily, but he would certainly not go to the newspaper, because he had been dead for more than half a year.
Zhang Youluan was shocked and thought to himself, "Is someone impersonating or encountering someone with the same name and surname?" ”
Zhang Youluan first went to Liu Jinfeng's cemetery, and then ran to Liu Jinfeng's home to see the portrait, and determined that the dead Liu Jinfeng was the person he saw in the newspaper hall, if Liu Jinfeng was already dead, then who was the person who came to the newspaper hall that day, was it a ghost?
Or is Liu Jinfeng the old way, who will revive the dead?
A series of questions could not be explained, Zhang Youluan quickly went to huang Zhenwu to tell him what he had learned, Huang Zhenwu was also stupid, looking at Zhang Youluan's appearance did not look like he was telling a lie, but if he reported it like this, it was estimated that his position as the director of the department would probably end.
Huang Zhenwu pulled out the best police officers in the whole of Nanjing to set up a special case team, and for the sake of safety, he also put the jianghu warlocks and Mr. Yin and Yang in Nanjing who regarded themselves as "this half immortal" and "that immortal" into the special case group, so that they could find out the truth as soon as possible, but the elites gathered together and still could not find anything, because of the addition of these jianghu warlocks and Mr. Yin and Yang, the more the incident was investigated, the more evil it became, and the more it was investigated, the more terrifying it became.
Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek was busy fighting and never asked any questions, and the matter was not resolved.
After liberation, Liu Jinfeng returned to people's field of vision, but unfortunately he still did not hide from this matter, and was criticized for this matter, according to his account, it was he who went to the "Nanjing People's Daily" to pretend to be a ghost, just to leave a good impression on the editor-in-chief, maybe he could find an errand in the newspaper in the future, and he did not expect to cause such a big disaster.
His idea is very good, associate April Fool's Day with that conference, through the influence of the delegates at the conference to make everyone pay attention to the "Nanjing People's Daily", even if there is an accident, you can use April Fool's Day as a statement, but the result is that the development of things is completely different from what they thought, and once the news is issued, it is like a kite with a broken line, and it loses control.
Liu Jinfeng saw that the matter was getting more and more serious, and could only find a way to hide, so he forged his portrait into a posthumous portrait, and then disguised the grave of his cousin who had just died for half a year as his own tomb.
And those neighbors of Babao East Street were almost all related to Liu Jinfeng, and all helped him cover up, so that the old Dao incident became a supernatural event and made such a big oolong.
So whether it's April Fool's Day or other days, jokes must pay attention to proportions, otherwise it is likely to cause big trouble for themselves, there are many friends who have known each other for many years and fall out because of a joke; a couple of lovers who have been in love for many years break up because of a joke.
Some jokes, although not very hurtful, are extremely insulting, and I have seen the story of a couple breaking up before, only because of a "joke" that ended many years of love.
A couple was watching TV in bed on the weekend, and suddenly the boy looked at the girl affectionately, said a meaty love story, and then opened the quilt and let the girl stick her head in to see what was in the quilt.
The girl thought it was a gift or a ring, so she stupidly drilled into it, and the boy let out a huge stinking fart, and then covered the quilt tightly, the girl struggled desperately in the quilt, and the boy covered the quilt and laughed wildly.
Half a minute passed, the girl no longer struggled, the boy let the girl out, the girl stuck her head out of the quilt and looked at the boy with a look of grievance, seeing the girl's appearance, the boy felt that something was going to happen, and it was too late to save it, the girl got dressed and returned to her home, and a day later proposed to the boy to break up.
