Section 5: "The Alley" and Aspirations

There is, such as Zeng Guofan

Where did you learn this game? It’s really quite interesting. Cao Junbin has just successfully 'bluffed' and won over ten taels worth of meal tickets, a pile of green paper vouchers stacked in front of him. It seems this fellow has had a good harvest today. 'Today's goal is to win back this month's meal expenses. Ah Fei, why don't you join in? You just said that this game has no limit on the number of players.' Cao Junbin is a gambler; he dealt the cards without looking and happily 'bluffed' a hand. 'Today's goal is to win back this month's meal expenses. Ah Fei, why don't you join in?

Are there such people

"If one cannot eat grapes, one complains that they are sour." Xu Zhongqin is very ambitious, and he certainly looks down on Rong Fei, who has always been content to drift through life without striving for progress

Yet he indeed achieved the harmony of inner sanctity and outer kingship

"What do the reactionaries, whose blood has stained the cap of the peasant uprising, count as inner sanctity and outer kingship?" Xu Zhongqin was the first person in the class to submit an application for party membership, always paying attention to political stance

Ancient China was predominantly an era ruled by Confucian thought. Confucianism espouses the concept of 'inner sage and outer king.' What Lao Xu aims to pursue is the path of 'outer king'.

Haha, if you really find a woman from the entertainment industry, you will have plenty of fun. However, one cannot generalize; Xu Zhongqin could never have imagined the rampant scandals in the entertainment industry in later years, nor could he have anticipated the astonishing divorce rate among its high-profile figures

The concept of "inner sanctity" primarily refers to the pursuit of personal moral perfection, while "outer kingship" pertains to the pursuit of achievements. A typical example of inner sanctity is Yan Yuan, a distinguished disciple of Confucius. As for outer kingship, it is self-evident and numerous. However, those who embody both are exceedingly rare.

"You dream https://m.hetushu.com. How much better is it to want to become Hitler than to be Zeng Guofan?" Rong Fei found this debate quite interesting; at this moment, people did not conceal their thoughts, pure as crystal.

"A group of spineless individuals," Xu Zhongqin said disdainfully as he stood up to leave

I simply wish to marry a virtuous wife and lead a life of simplicity and tranquility. That is all.

That was it. My dad brought back a set of mahjong tiles from his business trip to Guangzhou. They are already openly sold there. I was thinking of a way to get them so we could play a few rounds; that would be the real deal. Cao Junbin's gambling nature is no less than Rong Fei's. Rong Fei vaguely remembers that Cao Junbin once organized a group to gamble at Longfeng Mountain Villa, but they were caught by the police. He escaped by jumping off a seven-meter-high cliff, evading the police, but ended up spraining his ankle. He went to visit him, who was hiding in the countryside, carrying some consolation gifts—yet another damned dream.

Rong Fei certainly knows. Summer walks in the zoo, egrets roam, giraffes forage, and the passionate and intense percussion of model operas faintly comes from the clear sky, occasionally interspersed with the howls of vultures, lions, and tigers—when Summer is beaten by the Red Guards, the scene is filled with fists and feet, belts swinging, and blood flowing. In the foreground are the iron cages of the zoo, with lions and tigers moving within, while the background features soft and beautiful music. An elderly man carries the severely injured Summer and tells him that they are about to leave the zoo.

Li Jianguang and Ma Jinyu both have quite a gambling nature, and without even looking, they just followed along. Rong Fei felt somewhat disinterested in the books, so he returned to his bunk and picked up a copy of Cai Dongfan's "The Romance of the Northern and Southern Dynasties". This book was borrowed from the library by Ni Kai, who has a keen interest in popularized history. Suddenly, Xu Zhongqin pushed the door open and said, "Hey, I think we brothers should go watch a movie. This week's film is 'Little Street'. I just watched it with Xiao Dong, and that useless guy actually cried his eyes out."

Haha. Just like Zhang Xin? "Brother, give up that thought. Zhang Xin is not interested in you. Do you know who she has been with recently? Lu Yingshou!"

Ah, ah. A wave of exclamations came from over there. It turned out that Ma Jinyu had secretly played a bomb, nearly winning back all the meal tickets that Cao Junbin had previously won. These people had already become infatuated with the Zha Jin Hua game taught by Rong Fei.

I want to be a figure like Hitler" Xu Zhongqin stated candidly

That is merely a metaphor. What about you? I would like to hear about your aspirations

That is a good movie. At that time, Zhang Yu was truly pure and beautiful, Rong Fei recalled

What is "inner sage and outer king"? I didn't realize you were quite knowledgeable, my younger brother. Xu Zhongqin sat down

Oh, my words have some flaws. Lao Xu, you are a seasoned movie enthusiast; I have no qualifications to comment on films. " Rong Fei shifted the topic.

At this moment, Zhang Yu? Xu Zhongqin asked in confusion

"Before graduation, don't think about setting up a mahjong table at school. I recommend a game that is much more interesting than this," Rong Fei said

He was the executioner who suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This was the nature of the propaganda at the time. As Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels stated, a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth. At that time, how many truly understood Zeng Guofan

Rong Fei suddenly developed an interest in chatting with this fellow. In that peculiar long dream, apart from his graduation and entering a government agency as a minor official, there were no other memories regarding Xu Zhongqin. "Old Xu, could you share with your brother what your aspirations are"

Rong Fei has a strong gambling nature at his core, so he stood behind Cao Junbin with great interest. After watching for a while, he felt bored and said, "Can you change it up? This is so dull; in the end, everything can be calculated clearly."

The most diligent student in the dormitory, Ni Kai, put down the textbook in his hand and asked, "Is it a new film? Is it good?" Rong Fei was touched by a certain nerve in his memory, "Old Xu, is the female lead played by Zhang Yu?"

Upon returning to the dormitory, I found Ma Jinyu and a group of people playing "Cutting Wheat." His old classmate, Cao Junbin, was also there; this guy hadn't gone home either. Cutting Wheat is a very simple game, which mainly involves running fast. However, it has a slight twist: the loser has to leave a few cards, which translates to losing a few grain tickets. Using coarse grains as a standard, one card equals one tael.

Ni Kai expected Rong Fei to be furious, but to his surprise, Rong Fei merely smiled faintly

Rong Fei was originally planning to go home. Since the high-low bar incident, he has been going home more frequently, returning to his grandmother's place whenever he has time. However, this weekend he was delayed by some matters; the hardness testing machine in the physics laboratory was out of order. The teacher asked a few students to help move the discarded experimental equipment, assigning the task to the class monitor, Li Jianguang, who then called on Rong Fei. Rong Fei found it difficult to refuse and had no choice but to go along. They used primitive tools such as levers to lift the heavy testing machine out of the laboratory and loaded it onto a vehicle to take it to the recycling station for disposal, of course, with an approved report. Out with the old, in with the new. It is said that the funding allocated this year has increased by 35% compared to last year, and many experimental devices are to be updated, with plans for the library to be expanded as well.

Ni Kai widened his eyes. While discussing relationships in a shy manner, Rong Fei directly mentioned the word "wife," which left him in disbelief. Moreover, Rong Fei spoke so naturally and generously

Saturday night is the happiest and freest time for university students. Due to the lack of entertainment options, aside from gathering to boast, they often play poker or chess. Some engage in bridge or Go, but these activities are not very popular and have a somewhat elitist flavor. In later gatherings, there are three main forms: dining together, karaoke, and sports clubs, none of which are currently achievable. Very few classmates can afford to invite others for drinks. This is truly an era of compulsory education, with tuition and accommodation fees waived. Most students receive various levels of scholarships, with the highest being 22 yuan and the lowest 5 yuan. Many students find their scholarships nearly sufficient for living expenses. The most peculiar vice-class monitor, Xu Zhongqin, hails from a rural area in southern Shanxi and receives the highest scholarship. Aside from a fondness for watching movies, he has few other interests and can even bring back a small sum of money home during the holidays.

"What do you know about the gameplay at https://www.hetushu.com?" Cao Junbin turned to ask Rong Fei

Oh, how did you know

"No, you all go ahead and play." Rong Fei looked down upon such trivial matters. He was contemplating whether to borrow a few books on stocks from the library, as the urgent task was to find a way to make money; his current life was simply too frugal.

"The film 'Lushan Love' has made me admire it. It would be wonderful to find a partner like Zhang Yu." Xu Zhongqin's expression is the standard pig-like look of later generations

Rong Fei remembered that he had watched this film and had shed tears at that time, much like the shy and introverted Xiao Dong in the class. He did not understand the director's subtle metaphors, only realizing the director's intentions years later when he bought several old films on DVD for nostalgia. For a decade, the Cultural Revolution turned the entire country into a zoo. Fortunately, the Cultural Revolution finally came to an end, and humanity and human rights were beginning to awaken. Soon after, there would be a backlash against liberalization, and a writer named Bai Hua had to make a self-criticism for his rather unremarkable work "Bitter Love".

Teacher Hao from the laboratory received some funds and took a few students who helped him out to a restaurant. Drinking alcohol was not allowed, but they ordered several dishes, with rice as the staple food, which served as a small improvement in the lives of these impoverished students who often lacked both oil and vegetables. This delay caused them to miss the evening bus, and they were certain they would not catch the bus to Fujia Bao, so they had no choice but to return the next morning

"Zha Jin Hua, it's very simple." Rong Fei introduced them to the rules of the game, and after trying it twice, these fellows began to play with great enthusiasm. True gambling must allow for betting; gameplay akin to cutting wheat is indeed somewhat lowbrow.
