August 6, 1928

Early this morning, mainstream media from all over the world made detailed reports on the march in Hong Kong yesterday, with mixed reviews.

As a newspaper that Chen Shao started publishing when he became famous, China Daily has become the most famous newspaper and media in China after more than ten years of development. There are also certain reading people internationally, especially James's operation in the United States, and China Daily often appears on the streets of the United States.

As one of the mainstream media in China at this time, the declaration also had detailed reports. The contents of the two newspapers were similar to what they said in the radio yesterday, and Chen Shao's speech was also ranked on the first page.

China Daily: "In the early morning of August 5, tens of thousands of compatriots from Hong Kong gathered in front of the Governor's Office in Hong Kong and asked the Governor to give them the right they deserve. When the march and petition team arrived at the gate of the Governor's Office, a policeman in the Governor's Office opened two robberies at the marching crowd, and a bullet hit a Chinese. After rescue, fortunately, there was no life-threatening. There was a slight riot at the scene, but fortunately no stampede occurred.

According to the news we received, the crowds of people in the march did not act in extreme extremes at that time, and everyone was very restrained. How could this happen not shock us? You must know that Hong Kong is also our territory, and compatriots in Hong Kong only want to get the respect they deserve. But they were just guns at each other. Could this be the so-called Western civilized society? This is the equality of everyone promoted by the West, and this is the so-called freedom in the West.

No, this is the cruel rule of decisiveness, this is the bloody barbarity. If we Chinese want to gain freedom and rights, we cannot expect so-called Western civilization. We should rely on our hands to create it.... Regarding this Hong Kong incident, Chen Shao, the supreme leader of the Chinese Provisional Government, hopes to start a dialogue with the British side and discuss the Hong Kong issue."

Report: "…..Our Chinese can avoid bullying by uniting."

Times: "..., the British side is sorry for this accidental injury. We also hope that China can restrain itself and jointly negotiate a solution.

The UK has made a statement on the Hong Kong issue. Hong Kong was one of the treaties signed by the British and Qing governments back then. It is undeniable that the UK has sovereignty over Hong Kong. There is no territorial dispute at all. The UK also hopes that China will remain rational and not deliberately provoke wars. The UK agreed to hold talks with China on this misunderstanding.”

France Le Figaro: "..., I hope both sides can sit down and talk with peace of mind, and I hope China can abide by previous treaties. Don't make disappointing gestures."

German and American newspapers are much more pertinent, and there is no threat in words like Britain and France. However, compared to Germany, the United States is the most dull, but it doesn't report on the whole story. Apart from hoping that both sides will restrain themselves and avoid conflicts, there is no other word.

Just early this morning, the UK asked several member states to impose economic sanctions on China at an international conference. However, the effect was obviously not very good. Except for France's response, other countries did not pay attention to Britain's proposal at all. The United States even seemed to not come to me for anything.

In fact, as early as yesterday, Wu Jintang, the Minister of Commerce, arrived in the United States. He visited the United States in the name of the Minister of Commerce of China. He was taken seriously by the senior American officials. Compared with the interests in the United Kingdom, the United States hopes to establish business relations with the new China.

According to the US survey during this period, the results shocked everyone. The total economic output of southwest China has exceeded that of Italy, the second-class power, and is close to Britain and France. And it is silent. If the war against Japan was not exposed, no one would believe it. The United States has always hoped to trade with China and regard China as a new Pacific Rim economic partner. With super fast development speed, huge population, rich resources, and now it has a pre-stage industrial foundation, many American economists believe that China will become a newly emerging and powerful economy after the Soviet Union and Germany. Although it cannot be compared with the United States, it can accelerate the promotion of the US economy. The ancient East needs modernization, and a huge new market can be found for the surplus production capacity and huge investment capabilities of the United States.

This time, Wu Jintang's visit to the United States was treated with high standards, mainly because of Wu Jintang's identity and the Minister of Commerce. He also brought up as many as ten major projects, hoping to cooperate with the United States. Compared with the huge economic temptation, the United States naturally knew what it should choose. And there is another point that the United States does not have much benefits in China, and there are no colonies or other things except the concessions. When Germany promised to return the concessions, the United States also expected that China would definitely recycle these so-called colonies and concessions, and the United States was also mentally prepared for this. Compared with how to defend those concessions, the United States was more interested in how much benefits the United States could exchange for.

There is a saying in Western society: There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

In the past few months, the Chinese here have deeply felt that everything is different. Some Americans have become much more polite, and there are also many piglets who have been talking nonsense. This is not only the Chinese in Chinatown, but also the Chinese in the United States have this feeling. Although the information was not as developed as later generations, the information circulation ability was also very fast. The Sino-Japanese War was the first major war after World War I. There were detailed reports from various American newspapers, plus the special publicity of the China Daily. Now Americans also know that this war that took place in Asia was China, and they forced Japan to cede islands. The status of Chinese people was greatly improved overnight, but on the contrary, the status of Japanese people continued to decline.

This is the reality. Now China has been named the No. 1 in Asia and has got rid of the title of the sick man in East Asia. Some things rooted in the hearts of Americans are subtly moving and developing in the opposite direction.

Just today, newspapers in various regions have appeared yesterday's reports, and Chinatown has been boiling again. The first time it was because of defeating the Japanese, which was a boiling of joy. This time it was because of the British behavior, which was anger and dissatisfaction. I don't know where a message came from, and that the domestic plan to take back the concession and Hong Kong occupied by the British. Regardless of the truth or falsehood, this news alone is enough to be excited. In addition, the China Daily also proposed that the Supreme Leader of China, Chen Shao, wanted to have a dialogue with the UK on the Hong Kong issue, which invisibly proved that this argument has a high credibility.

If the West combines anger, arrogance, surprise, and gloating, then Chinese people around the world are greatly encouraged by the action of recycling Hong Kong. A strong declaration from the motherland has allowed Chinese people who have been away from their hometown for many years and have suffered from racial discrimination to see the dawn of the prosperity of their motherland.

Many places have held various Chinese gatherings, especially Chinatown, the largest gathering place for Chinese Americans. On the one hand, they condemned Britain, France and other countries for forcing China to sign a large number of unequal treaties in the past century. They even launched donations again, just like the revolutionary activities that helped the motherland before, they donated generously and actively donated money just to support the motherland far away in the East, just for the dawn of rejuvenation.

A donation declaration was soon hung up: for the sake of a common nation, for the common motherland, and for the rise of the Chinese. We only need to buy less clothes, less shoes, less car, more work, and more sweat. The motherland can make one more bullet, more shell, more truck, and more airplanes. A strong people will make one country strong. Although we are overseas, we all have a patriotic enthusiasm. We care about our motherland, and we have never forgotten China. No matter how far we go, we have the same blood on our bodies, all of us are the sons and daughters of China, and the descendants of the dragon.

Compared with overseas Chinese, domestic Chinese have a deeper experience.

What is Hong Kong’s meaning in their hearts? From the beginning of the First Opium War to the present, from the Treaty of Nanjing to the present, Pan Zhu is difficult to write about.

Defeats again and again, even if they are defeated, they are no different from defeat. The battle between China and France is a proof that the good guys sprinkled blood in the jungle and brought about a difficult victory, but he was once again deeply humiliated.

The shame of the Eight-Nation Alliance seemed to be yesterday. Not to mention the plundered finances, the heinous crimes committed by the Alliance alone were unforgettable. Dagukou became an empty city, with only one million people in Tianjin remaining 100,000, and the whole of Beijing was filled with sarcastic remarks.

Haven't you seen those Chinese workers who were sold everywhere die and unable to meet their relatives again or the motherland again, and the corpses remain. All that is left to future generations is the countless pitfalls, to tell the sadness of today.

Have you seen that there was a front door of the French Concession in Shanghai that time: Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter. This is an unscrupulous trampling on the Chinese's personal dignity.

Sign unequal treaties after treaties.

Cut piece by piece of land.

The ground is full of hunger and children, and the hunger and cold are in trouble, and there is no hope of food and clothing.

The entire nation has been trapped in a dark era for decades, with endless suffering and no more light.

However, the powerful southwest rose, engaged in people's livelihood, construction, developed military power from the outside, and served the country and the people at home. Under the rule, the people not only lived a life of food and clothing, unified the north and south. They defeated Japan strongly, reclaimed the lost land, and forced Japan to rent out islands.

They may not be able to understand politics, the meaning of industrial technology, and such policies. But they know who made them eat a lot, who made them regain their confidence, who made them straighten their rocker, who made them have free education, who made them see hope. They don’t care who is in charge of their own affairs, what they care about is who is doing the facts, who is doing the facts for their food, clothing, housing and transportation, and their peace.

Now China is going to recycle Hong Kong.

Will you still bend your legs and give in to the West? Will you still cede the land? Will you still kneel on the ground and let others ravage it?
