Chapter 135 China Has Been Strong

This is the result of painstaking discussions between Robli and Mr. Gu (heavy fog)... In fact, it was a small game of lottery played by Robli and Mr. Gu all night.

Apart from Armani or Dior, the content of the lottery is the proposition of washing dishes or doing housework.

"Clean, scrub, scrub, Mr. Gu, hurry up and scrub..."

Lobri happily hummed and washed the brush, and saw the wide-eyed Jiao Dao outside the door, looking at him with a mixture of shock and admiration.

Seeing director Jiao's surprised eyes quickly glanced around Mr. Gu, he immediately slipped away in a timely manner.

"Then what, I have something else to do, so don't bother..."

Robli: "Wait, Director Jiao, your eyes tell me that this matter is extraordinary, what are you thinking about, you..."

……

Robrie is doing very well in the United States.

That's right, hundreds of Americans come to see him every day at the filming location, claiming to be inspired by him, thinking that Robery is a warrior who has the courage to fight against the government, and his spirit inspires them.

Then parades around the world also had themes and slogans.

"revealthemask".

The original meaning is 'lift the veil'.

But Luo Li insisted on translating it as 'uncovering the pants and crotch of the United States'.

Anyway, the United States was messed up by him. The local government in California took the lead and announced the addition of a monument to the Central Railway to commemorate the Chinese workers who made "indelible contributions" to the railway.

The governor of California presided over the commemorative meeting and delivered a speech.

As a special guest, Robry delivered a speech on stage, reaffirming the unfair treatment of Chinese workers and urging the US government to face history squarely and not to evade it.

……

White House.

Demonstrations were being shown on television, spreading like flames to Philadelphia, Los Angeles and even New York.

"Damn it, is there nothing we can do? Can't we deport that Chinese film crew? Could it be that we are seeing public opinion in the United States in a mess and anti-government demonstrations everywhere?"

Facing the president's attack, the Secretary of State gave an answer: "Your Excellency, you know that if you do this, it will lead to a greater backlash... They are very clever in linking the experience of Chinese workers with black people. You It should be understood what the consequences of black people being incited... Besides, black people have higher political demands, and the crew from China, they just want the government to recognize the history of Chinese laborers, and they are easy to satisfy."

The president calmed down instantly: "You are right, the top priority now is to extinguish this fire, and this fire must be extinguished quickly and effectively!"

Unreconciled president: "Why do the shitty literary and art circles keep fighting against us?"

The Secretary of State thought for a while: "Your Excellency, in fact, Lewis Liu also participated in the voluntary activities for Chinese workers..."

President: "What, Lewis Liu also supports the Chinese workers' willingness?"

The president of the United States, a fan of Louis Liu, is the kind of star fan who can be compared to a fanatic.

……

On the 22nd, the White House finally responded.

Acknowledge the development of the "Chinese workers" in the western United States and their contribution.

The White House special envoy has already rushed to the filming location, not only to plant a monument at the starting point of the Central Railway, but even promised to build a memorial hall for Chinese laborers there. Instead of letting go of the trade agreement, he turned around and praised the Sino-US diplomatic relations.

……

The crew of "Hua Gong 1863".

Everyone watched with cold eyes as the special envoy of the White House laid flowers at the monument, held a public sacrifice, and then delivered a speech.

The special envoy even knelt down on one knee, observed three minutes of silence, and finally apologized with red eyes.

The scene was also captured with a flash.

"A belated apology—documentary of Chinese laborers crossing the sea and their contribution to the Central Railway", the major media in the United States began to report on the matter the next day, and the designer of the memorial hall even announced the design drawings, planning to start construction in two months Build the Memorial Hall of Chinese Laborers.

Chen Zhuo sighed: "The Americans finally apologized."

Robrey: "That's right, the country of the dog days."

Chen Zhuo: "..."

Robery: "You think they're really apologizing? It's just a political show."

But, at least the United States has finally pulled off the fig leaf.

Rob Li looked at the cemetery piled up with wreaths, and more and more deeds of Chinese laborers were dug up, so more and more people spontaneously came to mourn——

"Come back, soul," said Robery, placing the flowers in front of the tomb, "My fellow citizens."

The dark clouds in the sky quietly dissipated at some point, revealing wisps of sunshine.

……

Jiao Guodong discovered that since the public sacrifice, Robli seemed to have changed his whole person.

It seems to be more transparent and calm, which is a kind of freedom and clarity from the whole person from top to bottom, from the soul after the anxiety.

Especially, when the film is filming its final scene.

Lin Yinan was hanged and beaten until he was dying, but was rescued by his companions. In two days, he seemed to have changed his mind.

"Ash, do you want to go home?"

Ash, played by Chen Zhuo, suddenly choked up: "Of course I want to, but when can we go back?"

There is little hope of them going back. In California, there is only endless road building. There is no one to tell them when they will finish the work and when they will go home.

"I'm so sorry, Yinan, why did I believe their lies and leave my hometown and come to the United States," Ash choked up, "This place is not full of gold at all, our life is worse than a dog..."

Detained, supervised, tortured and forced to work.

They are only 30 years old, they are already covered with diseases, and they are dying.

They also want to run, but they can't run away at all.

Those who run away secretly will be easily caught back, either beaten to death, or starved to death in a small dark room, not to mention, in the deserted Northwest, if you run away, you may be eaten by wild animals in the barren mountains .

"Don't be afraid, don't regret it," Lin Yinan said in a soft voice, "You have to look for life, and you have to fight with them."

"But, we all failed..."

Lin Yinan was not reconciled to the fact that the Chinese laborers were treated like cattle and horses, and secretly organized several strikes and protests. Although they were whipped to the brink of death each time, this kind of protest did give them a short rest, and the conditions were met. improve.

The Chinese workers even played tricks on the foreman, setting his house on fire and making him scolded by the head of the railway company.

"Don't be afraid of failure, there will be a next time," Lin Yinan's bloodshot mouth showed a smile, like a flower blooming in a dry desert: "There will always be success."

Just when the candlelight was slightly extinguished, Ash suddenly heard Lin Yinan's voice.

"Ash..."

"what happened?"

"If I can go back to my hometown, can you do something for me?"

"what's up?"

"There are two tombs on the mountain behind Tongzinan. You can bury them next to my ancestral grave..."

The fiancée and sister who died of the epidemic were lonely ghosts and could not even be buried on the road.

"Yinan, you have a fever, drink some water, go to sleep..."

……

I thought that Lin Yinan would not show up at the construction site after being beaten, but he didn't expect that Lin Yinan not only came, but also quarreled with the foreman who beat him up.

The potbellied foreman looked angrily at this man, a man whose bones were as hard as steel, and he was determined that he would never let this man live until tomorrow.

Ash watched as the foreman grabbed Lin Yinan by the collar and dragged him into the distant woods.

But strangely, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yinan's mouth.

Soon, screams came from the woods.

The other foremen listened happily, guessing how Lin Yinan would be beaten in the end——

But soon, an earthquake came suddenly.

A boulder as big as a millstone was shaken down, breaking the newly built railway, and everyone ran away in panic.

In the woods, the foreman screamed and slid to the ground, but his ankles were firmly grasped by a pair of hands.

"Let your God save you," Lin Yinan laughed miserably: "I'll send you to see him right away."

……

The railway was built in an area where geological disasters frequently occurred. The disaster caused a total of 18 deaths, including 6 white foremen. The railway company immediately sent people to investigate and discovered the foreman's concealment.

The Chinese workers discovered the problem, but the foreman refused to change direction, and even lied about the road conditions.

If the railway is built like this and opened to traffic in the future, not only may it face the occurrence of geological disasters at any time, but even the railway company will always face compensation.

……

Lin Yinan used his life to prove that what he said was right, and because of this reason, the attitude of the new railway chief and foreman towards this group of Chinese workers has improved a lot.

Even after completing the California Railway, the Chinese workers were allowed to return to their motherland.

Of the 300 people, only 74 returned to their hometown.

……

After many hardships, Ash brought Lin Yinan's ashes back to his hometown. Next to the desolate ancestral grave, there were three more lonely earth bags.

"Running all night in the wilderness, earning a poor life, and going to Liangshan to invite soldiers," Ash sang loudly: "...Ah, Liangshan is already ahead, let's get rid of it and take a big stride!"

"Let's go!"

……

Chen Zhuo doesn't know how to sing opera, although Luo Buli taught him, but he sings very funny.

It also sang funny while filming.

But everyone's tears fell down.

……

Unlike the marble monument erected by the United States, the monument erected by the crew and the Chinese embassy in the United States is the image of a ship.

It is engraved with: China is strong, compatriots should return home.
