The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

On August 6, the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima; on August 9, the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.

On August 10, the Emperor of Japan decided to surrender unconditionally. The only requirement was to retain the emperor system. On the same day, the Japanese government, through the governments of Switzerland and Sweden, sent a note of begging for peace to the warring countries.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Chongqing.

Suddenly bursts of cheers came from the headquarters of the US military stationed in China. The surrounding people were unaware of the situation and thought that the American soldiers were having a convulsion again.

An American military officer who could speak Chinese walked to the street and shouted with a smile: "Japan has surrendered, Japan has surrendered, and China has won the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression!"

People were skeptical and gathered outside the gate of the US military headquarters to inquire about the situation.

Not far from next door is Qiujing Middle School. Several boarders who went shopping couldn’t hold back their excitement. They rushed into the campus and shouted, “Japan has surrendered, the war of resistance has been won! Japan has surrendered, the war of resistance has been won…”

The teachers and students’ dormitories were lit up one after another. One teacher, who didn’t even bother to put on shoes, grabbed the students with an oil lamp in his bare feet and asked, “Who said Japan surrendered?”

"The American army next door said it." The student said happily.

The teachers and students ran frantically to the US military headquarters. The teacher who ran ahead asked in English, "Sir, did Japan really surrender?"

"Yes," the American officer said with a smile, "Japan issued a surrender note through the Swedish and Swiss governments. On the Chinese side, our US military headquarters in China was the first to get the news. Now the American embassy and the British embassy should also accept the surrender note." Here comes the telegram."

The Chinese people present were collectively stunned for half a second, and suddenly burst into loud cheers.

"Long live China! Long live the Chinese nation!"

"We won, we beat Little Japan away!"

"Hurry up and buy firecrackers!"

"Where's my gong and drum? Go back and get the gong and drum."

"..."

At this moment, Chang Kaishen was praying when he suddenly heard the sound of crackling firecrackers. Seeing Jiang Xiaozhen standing outside the door with a happy expression on his face, he immediately asked, "What happened?"

Jiang Xiaozhen smiled and said: "Boss, Japan has surrendered, and the people are setting off firecrackers to celebrate."

Chang Kaishen was overjoyed, but couldn't believe it, and said with a smile, "Go to the US military headquarters to confirm."

"Yes!" Jiang Xiaozhen turned around and ran away.

Jiang Xiaozhen is Chang Kaishen's fellow villager, and he can be related to relatives with all his twists and turns, so he can barely be regarded as Lao Jiang's grandnephew. At the time of the Xi'an Incident, Jiang Xiaozhen was already Lao Jiang's aide-de-camp. When Lao Jiang ran away for his life, he lost his shoes. Jiang Xiaozhen took off his shoes and gave Lao Jiang to wear them.

Now, Jiang Xiaozhen has become Chang Kaishen's head of internal affairs.

After a while, Jiang Xiaozhen came back to report: "Boss, the news has been confirmed. The embassies of the United Kingdom and the United States and the headquarters of the US military in China have said that Japan has issued a surrender note."

"What about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country?" Chang Kaishen asked.

"Report!"

Jiang Xiaozhen hadn't answered yet, another adjutant was standing outside the door waiting.

Chang Kaishen said, "Come in!"

The adjutant said happily: "Reporting to the Chief, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called, and they have received Japan's peace note! It was conveyed by the Swiss government. Except for Japan's request to retain the emperor system, the rest will be in accordance with the conditions of the "Potsdam Proclamation." "

"Good, good, good!"

Chang Kaishen said yes again and again, couldn't help but ordered: "Order the Military and Political Department to hold a meeting of military cadres immediately. Also, let Chen Bulei and Wu Tiecheng do the work of the party department, and prepare the order to be sent to each theater telegraph!"

The meeting lasted until 12 o'clock that night, and the next morning, Lao Jiang met with the US Ambassador Hurley again and responded to the advisory opinion on Japan's surrender. After Hurley and Truman had an urgent exchange of opinions through transoceanic telegrams, Lao Jiang met with Hurley again and called Wei Demei, the commander-in-chief of the US military stationed in China, to discuss the military disposal of the occupied areas.

Lao Jiang was not idle all day and night. He sent various telegrams for various meetings, and he even sent an urgent telegram to Boss Zhu and Boss Peng. It roughly means that I have already made arrangements for the disposal of the Japanese and puppet troops and the occupied areas.

The Emperor of Japan has not officially announced the surrender at this time, but only issued a begging note. If the allies do not agree to retain the emperor system, he probably does not intend to surrender, and to put it bluntly is still bargaining. However, firecrackers are going off from time to time in the urban area of ​​Chongqing. This kind of news always spreads quickly, not to mention that some newspapers have already had related news-on the night of the 10th, several major newspapers published the news at the same time, after 11 o'clock in the evening Even the newsboys are still selling along the street.

On August 14, Japan sent a note to the governments of China, the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom, announcing their acceptance of the Potsdam Proclamation. On the 15th, the Emperor of Japan officially announced Japan's unconditional surrender by broadcasting.

China Radio.

Zhou Xuan came to the studio happily. She just turned 25 and graduated from the Music Department of Central University two months ago. However, she has long been a popular singer in the rear of the country. In the past few years, she has released four patriotic records. Since her sophomore year, she has also been an announcer for China Radio.

"Xuanzi, this is the radio script of the Emperor of Japan announcing his surrender." Broadcast Director Liang Guangdu handed over a piece of paper.

Zhou Xuan took the broadcast script and sat down, and said after a few sound auditions: "It's time to start!"

After the China Radio Station moved to Chongqing from Tianjin, its ratings have been very high, even crushing the Central Radio Station, which later moved to Chongqing. After all, China Central Radio focuses on politics and its content is more serious, while China Radio, which does not have government funding support, needs to be responsible for its own profits and losses, and entertainment content accounts for more than half.

At noon, not long after lunch, the citizens of Chongqing suddenly heard the patriotic song on the outdoor radio stop, and it was replaced by Zhou Xuan's voice:

"Now there is an urgent news break. Just 40 minutes ago, Emperor Hirohito of Japan officially announced his unconditional surrender through the radio. The content of his "Edict of Armistice" is as follows: In view of the general trend of the world and the current state of the empire..."

The sound of the radio was still floating over Chongqing, and the whole city was immersed in a sea of ​​joy. People spontaneously came to the streets to cheer and celebrate, and countless people cried and laughed loudly with tears in their eyes.

The broadcast of the Japanese emperor announcing his surrender can also be heard in the occupied areas of China. However, the rear area and the liberated areas could not receive it. The China Radio was the first to fully recount the content of the "armistice edict". At this time, the major newspapers were still out of emergency printing.

In the middle of the afternoon, the bureaucratic and unresponsive Central Radio broadcasted the full text of the "Armistic Edict", and the major newspapers had to wait until tomorrow morning to reprint the full text.

Naturally, it was impossible for the China Broadcasting Corporation to translate the Armistice Edict into Chinese within 40 minutes. They got it from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which had already received the Chinese version of the "Armistic Edict" the day before.

Most of the Chinese version of the "Edict of Armistice" is written in classical Chinese, which really looks like an imperial edict issued by the emperor. That stuff was written by the Japanese sinologist Yasuoka Masatoku, who studies Emperorology, Yangming Mindology, and Chinese history every day. He has a profound knowledge of Chinese culture, and now he has finally come in handy.

By August 16, major newspapers across the country reported the news of Japan's surrender in full pages, and the full text of the "Edict of Armistice" was also published countless times. Although the Japanese emperor did not admit defeat, nor did he use the word surrender, but in the eyes of the Chinese, he was surrendering!

Southwest Associated University.

Although it was summer vacation at this time, there were still three students in Hua Luogeng's dormitory, they were Zhou Weilie, Zhong Kailai and Min Sihe.

When Hua Luogeng first taught the course "Prime Number Theory" at Southwest Associated University, he was not only sought after by students from the Department of Mathematics, but also students from the Department of Physics, Chemistry, and Mechanics. At that time, the classrooms were crowded, and the aisles were full of people. As a result, after a few classes, there were only three students left, and the classroom became empty—I don’t understand!

Zhou Weilie studied with Hua Luogeng for a year and a half, and then he gradually stopped listening to the book on the theory of prime numbers, but it is still difficult to understand it thoroughly, and he is still studying eagerly.

Now the three students who can understand the theory of piled prime numbers have all graduated. Zhou Weilie will go to Cambridge University to study for a master's degree, Zhong Kailai will go to Princeton University to study for a doctorate, and Min Sihe will go to Oxford University to study for a doctorate.

It is said that he studied at Hua Luogeng's house, but Zhou Weilie was the one who really studied. Zhong Kailai and Min Sihe were next to him to make up lessons for him, chewing on the peanuts bought by his junior brother, and there was only a jug of wine next to him.

"Victory! We have won!"

Suddenly there was loud cheers outside, Hua Luogeng stood up abruptly, limped out of the dormitory door and looked around. I only heard that Japan issued a begging note before, but there was no news for the next few days. Many people were ready to continue fighting.

A group of students rushed towards the teacher's dormitory, Hua Luogeng quickly asked, "Has Japan really surrendered?"

"Surrendered," a student waved a newspaper in his hand, "Professor Hua, the Japanese government surrendered the day before yesterday. Yesterday the Japanese Emperor officially announced the surrender on the radio. This is today's newspaper!"

"Great, great," Hua Luogeng returned to the room, and excitedly said to his three lovers, "Japan has surrendered!"

Zhou Weilie threw away the pen in his hand, cheered and said: "I won't study today, teacher, Senior Brother Zhong, Senior Brother Min, I invite everyone to eat something good at the restaurant!"

"Let's go, I want to drink today!" Zhong Kailai laughed.
