Chapter 414 - I sacrifice my blood in the Yellow Emperors name! (1/2)
This poem originally did not have a t.i.tle. This poem's t.i.tle was added by an old friend of Lu Xun, Xu Shoushang, in his ”Nostalgia”. The first line spoke of the intensity of the love he had for his country. In the next line, it described the reason why he loved it so much. The third line summarized the first two lines and did a transition, expressing the worry over how his ”own compatriots had not yet awakened”. The concluding line was an outpouring of his commitments; it was a motto he would set out to live up to throughout his entire life, to the point of giving his life for his country.
Zhang Ye also wanted to express the same thing. His country was being ”violated”, yet his compatriots had not awoken. He did not know what to do, and could only dedicate his life to the motherland!
The moment this poem was released, it infected numerous people!
This was Zhang Ye. You could question his talk show program, saying it wasn't funny. You could refute his a.n.a.lysis of ”Dream of the Red Chamber”, saying that it lacked logic. You could criticize him for his bad temper that made him unlikable. You could scold that he did not know literature or art, but you could never question the love for Zhang Ye towards his people and country. This was something no one was qualified to question. An ”I love this land” and the ”I sacrifice my blood in the Yellow Emperor's name” were already enough to fully expressed what sort of person Zhang Ye was!
He was a citizen of the People's Republic of China.
A Chinese national who loved his motherland, his family, and his fellow Chinese!
”I sacrifice my blood in the Yellow Emperor's name?”
”A man!”
”This is what a f**king true man is!”
”Who said Zhang Ye lacks the image of a teacher by beating people? Who said a teacher must hold a book in hand to teach lessons? No matter how others evaluate Zhang Ye, in my heart, Zhang Ye is a good teacher!”
”Those brainless fans, take a look! Those so-called foreign stars, they all say they like you on their lips, thanking you, saying they love you, but what do they eventually want? To be frank, they are just bewitching you! They need the popularity and attention you give them, so as to rise up in their status. They don't think anything of you, and do not care if you are dead or alive! Look at Teacher Zhang Ye's poem. Who was the one who truly cares about you to the bone? I think there's no need to express it with words. As a teacher, Zhang Ye is really full of good intentions. Yet, you take weapons and stones to attack Teacher Zhang instead? I do not know what's wrong with you, but touch your own conscience and think, ‘What am I doing this for!’”
”Wake up! Don't let Teacher Zhang's efforts be in vain! Don't let Teacher Zhang and everyone turn cold in the heart!”
”Teacher Zhang, you have already done enough. You have done your best. Ignore them. Let them think through it. You must ensure you get well soon. Without you in the entertainment industry, it won't be as interesting. We are still waiting for you to contribute more excellent works!”
”Wis.h.i.+ng Teacher Zhang a speedy recovery!”
”This poem is too great! I've learned something!”
”Teacher Zhang is a true man of steel and blood!
On Weibo, many, who did not understand Zhang Ye's actions, immediately stood on Zhang Ye's side, helping wave his flag!
What was worth mentioning that with ”Personally Inscribed on a Small Picture” posted, many verified teachers from various schools and or teacher organizations stepped forward. They began reposting Zhang Ye's Weibo post!
Peking University's Vice President Wu Zeqing reposted it.
