Chapter 35 History Class

  Xīng Luò smiled and stood up, asking: "I didn't quite catch the question earlier, could you repeat it, teacher?"

  However, when they heard this sentence, Quan Bing and some people in the class who wanted to curry favor with Ge Feng burst out laughing, whispering to each other with a mocking tone. Xing Luo, on the other hand, held down Zhao Yu's rage, his face calm and unruffled, completely unmoved by those sarcastic remarks.

  Xing Luo stood up, and Ye Binglan also let out a slight sigh of relief. In order to better monitor Xing Luo, she had been searching for information about him from all sides, and she knew his capabilities. Having him here to answer this question was the best outcome.

  "The difference between Japan's Meiji Restoration and China's Westernization Movement, if Xing Luo doesn't know, the teacher won't blame you either, after all, this question is also quite difficult." Ye Binglan said.

  Your grandfather is a martial arts master, pretending to be your sister's teacher. Xing Luo cursed in her heart, but still replied.

  "The Westernization Movement and the Meiji Restoration were the starting points of modernization in China and Japan, respectively, but they differed greatly. The Westernization Movement advocated for Chinese learning as the foundation and Western learning as the application, only studying advanced Western technology without adopting Western institutions. In contrast, the Meiji Restoration was a comprehensive reform that included new technologies and systems, and it was a bourgeois reform movement. This is the biggest difference between the two countries. The differences between China's Westernization Movement and Japan's Meiji Restoration lie in their goals, leading classes, outcomes, and nature."

  "The goals were different. The Meiji Restoration advocated for the establishment of a monarchical constitutional capitalist state, while the Self-Strengthening Movement advocated for using the movement to maintain the feudal rule of the Qing government."

  "The leadership class was different, the Meiji Restoration was led by lower-ranking samurai and new-type landlords who were bourgeoisified, merchants, while the Westernization Movement was led by bureaucratic landlords of the Qing government."

  "The outcome was different, the Meiji Restoration enabled Japan to get rid of its national crisis and achieve national prosperity, while the Westernization Movement ultimately failed."

  "The nature is different, the Meiji Restoration was a bourgeois revolution, while the Westernization Movement was a reform of the feudal landlord class." Xing Luo smiled and explained the differences between the two countries' reforms, word by word.

  Xing Luo's answer was as smooth as flowing clouds and water, leaving those who had been gloating earlier stunned on the spot. Xing Luo's analysis was so clear that if they still couldn't understand it as high school students, then they might as well hit a wall and die.

  "Blind cat meets dead mouse, what a coincidence."

  At this moment, the class had already quieted down after Xing Luo's analysis, so Quan Bing's soft words were heard by everyone in the class. However, this sentence also did not escape Xing Luo and Zhao Yu's ears, the latter glared angrily at Quan Bing, if it wasn't for Xing Luo holding him back, he would have rushed up to beat Quan Bing violently.

  Xing Luo glanced at Quan Bing faintly and said, "The most essential difference between the Chinese Reform Movement and Japan's Meiji Restoration is not like this, but rather in finance and economics."

  "At that time, the thorough collapse of Hua Xia's financial high border made Hua Xia politics lose its independence, economic development lack funds, military defense accumulate poverty and weakness, science, education, culture have no rice to cook, and fell into a semi-colonial state at the mercy of others."

  "The most fatal reason for the decline and fall of the Qing Empire was the collapse of its financial high frontier! And the success of Japan's Meiji Restoration lay precisely in the fact that Western powers could not breach Japan's financial high frontier. Without control over the financial high frontier, any beautiful prospects for political reform, military self-strengthening, and industrial prosperity can only be an unattainable dream."

  Xingluo once again analyzed the essential differences between the Westernization Movement and the Meiji Restoration, and those good students in the class were suddenly excited to pull Xingluo over to tell them stories.

  Because Xing Luo said it was really good, and some details were all explained, which made them admire him thoroughly.

  After finishing, Xing Luo smiled and looked at Quan Bing: "Quan classmate, are you still confused? If you don't believe it, you can go online to check. I heard that in Huaxia, there is a software called Baidu, which is quite powerful. As long as you search on Baidu, you will know."

  When he heard this, Quan Bing was so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. What is hitting one's own foot with a rock? This is it!

  The anger in Zhao Yu's eyes had long since dissipated, and his gaze at Xing Luo added a few more shades of admiration. It turned out that the boss was not only skilled in combat but also excellent in learning.

  "Uh, Xing Luo classmate answered very correctly, this question also touched on finance, the exam will not come out so difficult questions, everyone just remember the few sentences that Xing Luo classmate said at the beginning." Ye Binglan looked at Xing Luo's smiling face and felt quite helpless.

  As for the latter, she had made an effort to understand that if a historical question could stump him, then the clever and proud Wang would really be done for.

  After the storm had passed, Xing Luo lay down on the stage and fell asleep, ignoring the admiring gazes of the crowd.

  Yebinglan didn't say anything about it either, she would rather have Xingluo spend all his days in Huaxia sleeping, so as not to trouble her.

  After history class, the active learners in the class couldn't wait to run towards Xing Luo, but when they saw him sleeping and Zhao Yu, who was notorious for being fierce and intimidating, in front of them, they also chose to give up. Zhao Yu's reputation in this school was quite frightening.

  At this age, it's just a matter of who has the bigger fist and is the toughest.

  So young and reckless!

  Who hasn't been a little crazy before? Who hasn't gone mad before?

  But all of those were during the time when youth hormones were overflowing!

  For an entire morning, Xing Luo was practicing martial arts in the ancient space. He had been practicing for ten years and only reached the postnatal middle stage. This made him want to knock his head against a wall. Even if he started practicing at the age of five, by now he should be at least a pre-heavenly master, but he was still stuck at the postnatal middle stage after ten years.

  This made Xing Luo anxious.

  He also knew that his physical condition was the reason, this innate special physique made him progress very slowly in martial arts practice, but gave him a memory that never forgot and an intelligent mind that surpassed everyone's brain.

  But he also knew that this was an unchangeable fact, who made the heavens play tricks on him, there must be gains and losses, and good fortune depends on bad luck.

  After school in the morning, Xing Luo also thickened his face and called Zhang Xi Yu to go to the cafeteria for dinner together. The latter, however, responded unusually and agreed, which made Xing Luo slightly stunned.

  He immediately went to the school cafeteria with Zhang Xi Yu, who made him not have a car now, thinking of taking his sister out for lunch and having to take a taxi, which also made Xing Luo dispel the idea of going out for lunch.
