In the long table in the shade, Gu San Sanwu showed a proud expression.

Before the competition, Gu Sansanwu was really worried that his disciples would not win so easily, but after the start, Gu Sansanwu immediately realized that the contestants of Fudan High School had not undergone professional sprint training at all.

At this time, Tani Sanwu knew that Masao Yamazaki was sure to win.

Principal Li next to him showed a disappointed expression, but the disappointment just flashed by and then returned to normal.

In this era, Fudan High School and Fudan University were one of the same family. Fudan High School can even be regarded as the preparatory courses of Fudan University. President Li is the president of Fudan University and the president of Fudan High School.

Principal Li is in Nanyang. He went to the United States to study at the age of 19 and is also a top student at Yale University. He has been in the United States for eight or nine years, so he has some understanding of how to develop competitive sports abroad. He also knows that 13 seconds of 100 meters is not fast among American high school students. With Deng Zhiguo's level, he can play a tough role in old Shanghai, and those sports powers in Europe and the United States are second-rate.

However, Principal Li still had some expectations for his students, and at the same time he felt a sense of luck. Perhaps the Japanese's sports level was also relatively average.

But the reality is not the case. Although Japan is not a European and American country, it is still the "powers" of this era, and its level in sports is indeed higher than that of China.

So after losing the game, Principal Li quickly adjusted his mindset.

It is a fact that China is backward, and there is nothing to admit. As the principal of Fudan, what he has to do is to cultivate outstanding talents for China and make China stronger?

Principal Li even felt that today's failure may not be a bad thing, at least it made the students realize that the gap between China and the great powers will only inspire the determination to strive for strength and strive to catch up!

"Principal Li, I'm giving in!" Gu Sansanwu's voice sounded slightly with a Northeast accent, and he tried his best to demonstrate his complacent emotions in his words.

However, President Li on the opposite side was a top student at Yale University, a first-class educator and scholar of this era. Gu Sansanwu showed a certain humility when facing President Li. After all, Gu Sansanwu participated in the Olympics and was considered a Japanese who had seen the world. He was still quite polite to scholars.

This knowledgeable person will be respected wherever he goes.

Principal Li felt that Gu Sansanwu was deliberately demonstrating. He didn't take it to heart, but instead smiled like a gentleman, without showing any frustration of failure. Naturally, he showed a trace of the temperament of an elder, and said, "It's really a famous teacher who makes a great disciple. Masao Yamazaki has the style of your back then. I believe he will shine in the future!"

Gu Sansanwu also knew that Principal Li was purely polite. What kind of "demeanor" did he have when he participated in the Olympics? He was still eliminated by European and American athletes!

Since people are polite, Gu San San Wu will just follow suit! When it comes to being polite, the Japanese believe that they are second, but no one dares to recognize first.

On the other hand, at the end of the track, Deng Zhiguo and others lowered their heads, looking depressed.

I felt uncomfortable after losing the game, and I came to challenge it, but I actually lost, which was even worse.

The key is that Masao Yamazaki did run very quickly, and Deng Zhiguo couldn't find any reason to excuse him.

If you are not as skilled as others, you will lose your temper!

Disappointment, depression, and unwillingness are probably the case, and there is not much national sentiment of "aggression against Japan".

Before the September 18th Incident, the domestic understanding of Japan was still stuck with the word "Great Powers".

Since the Opium War in 1840, China has suffered too many invasions by the great powers, signed too many unequal treaties, and lost a lot of territory. In the eyes of most people, both Eastern and Westerners are of the same type and are all here to take advantage of China.

Perhaps many people have become accustomed to being bullied by the great powers and taking advantage of the great powers. If the great powers do not take advantage of China, they can be promoted as a victory.

The Westernization Movement opened the door for China to learn from the West. Since the Meiji Restoration became stronger, Japan has become the object of learning. Moreover, because Japan is close to China and is exempt from visas to China, a large number of students went to Japan to study, such as Japan, and there were many people who took Japanese wives among the big bulls in the Republic of China.

So even after experiencing the Sino-Japanese War, even losing Lushun in the Russo-Japanese War, even losing Jiaozhou Bay in the First World War, and even if Japan created the Jinan tragedy, ordinary people did not realize Japan's real ambitions. Even after the September 18th Incident, most people still felt that the Japanese just wanted to split the three northeastern provinces from China, and old Shanghai was still singing and dancing to peace.

As Lu Xun wrote in "Mr. Fujino", there were too many numb people in China at that time. Those numb people even thought that the Northeast was far from Shanghai. Are people in Northeast China bullied and what does it have to do with them?

After the North China Incident, the Chinese people understood that the invaders did not stop and Japan wanted the five provinces of North China. After the July 7 Incident, the Chinese finally realized that the five provinces of North China were not the ultimate goal of the Japanese. They wanted the entire China and they wanted to destroy China!

However, in the 1920s, people generally did not understand the ambitions of Japan's ****, so when Deng Zhiguo lost to Masao Yamazaki, it did not arouse the specific national sentiment in his heart, but instead accepted the failure calmly.

As for sports competitions, the result is a certain degree. If you run by yourself, you are not as fast as others, and you have nothing to say if you lose. Besides, they are still powerful countries, which are stronger than China.

Although he lost the game, he did not lose the team. Deng Zhiguo still went forward friendly and shook hands with Masao Yamazaki.

But unexpectedly, Masao Yamazaki shook his hand away, obviously not wanting to shake hands with Deng Zhiguo.

This is a very shameful expression. In the sprint race, athletes shake hands with each other, pat shoulders, or even hug each other to show friendship after passing the finish line. This is an international practice, even now.

However, this is just the beginning. Masao Yamazaki is not only not giving face, he also looked at Deng Zhiguo with a contemptuous look, and then said four words in broken Chinese:

"Sick man from East Asia!"

"What did you say!" Deng Zhiguo's face suddenly turned red. Even though Masao Yamazaki's Northeastern dialect still had some exotic accent, Deng Zhiguo still understood these four words immediately.

"You don't understand?" Masao Yamazaki curled his lips and deliberately slowed down his speech, "Sick man from East Asia!"

Masao Yamazaki's Chinese is obviously not as good as Tani Sanwu, but the four words "Sick Man in East Asia" are still heard clearly by everyone.

"I just ran a little slower than you. Why do you say that I am the sick man of East Asia!" Deng Zhiguo immediately became angry.

But Masao Yamazaki still looked arrogant. He shook his head and said, "I am not talking about you, but the sick man from East Asia."

"Then who are you talking about?" Zhang Liangcai next to him asked.

"I mean, you Chinese and the sick husbands of East Asia are all!"

Masao Yamazaki extended his arm arrogantly, not only pointing at the four athletes including Deng Zhiguo, but also at everyone around him!

Masao Yamazaki is saying that Chinese people are sick husbands in East Asia!

The audience was in an uproar...
