Subtitle of this chapter: It really only took one sentence, but it wrote four thousand words

Commercial radio was born in the United States in November 1920, but the first commercial radio station to broadcast was not Nypr in New York, but KDK in Pittsburgh.

For the United States in the 1920s, radio broadcast was a revolutionary form of entertainment, which was really comparable to later Internet. In fact, television was just an upgraded version of the radio with images.

However, on the original timeline, radio broadcasting really made the whole people crazy until 1922, so it was called "1922 fanaticism". People were surprised by this new phenomenon of "pulling sounds from the air". For Americans at that time, radio was more peculiar and magical than the first regular television broadcast in the late 1940s. Radio broadcasting was worshipped and regarded as a triumphant song of science.

Interestingly, some Americans accused radio waves of harming birds, causing floods and droughts, causing mattress springs to fluctuate, causing cracks in the floor, causing children to vomit, and summon ghosts... This is just like some people in a major country in the East think that mobile phone signal towers will cause cancer a hundred years later.

By 1930, two families in American cities had one radio, while five families had one in rural areas. Yes, just like when people from a large country in the East gathered in homes with TV to watch TV, the American people would also flock to their neighbors who own radio to enjoy this "modern technology". This is called a "radio party."

The modern middle class in the United States is the four shaped by cars, telephones, household electrification, and of course commercial radio. In particular, radio broadcasts have profoundly changed Americans' sexual concepts, gender roles and child-raising methods. It cannot be exaggerated to exaggerate its importance.

However, it is ironic that radio broadcasts did not promote women's freedom. Instead, in the mid-1920s, they formed women into flappers and thick-colored women in response to market demand. The images of these two replaced the suffragist in the early 1920s and became the standard template for "modern women".

The TV that followed closely followed further deepened the shaping of women, which made these two images of "modern women" continue to be used until the 1970s. It was not until the rise of the hippie movement and the feminist movement that the rigid impression of American women was finally broken, but it was just a "break".

Another point that must be mentioned is the impact of radio on American children. Wireless radio replaced parents as the first teachers of preschool children. This "teacher" also wanted to make money, so the children who grew up in the 1920s became the first group of real "consumerists".

In addition, radio broadcasting has brought some subtle changes in American society.

Black jazz was sent to thousands of households through radio. American white skin didn't like to see black people, but she could still listen to the songs and music played by black people for no reason. The brisk jazz immediately conquered the ears of the stubborn Americans, so it was also called the "jazz era" during the period after the First World War to the Great Depression.

And just as the online "free" music downloads hit the record industry in the 21st century a hundred years later, radio also caused the sales of various American records to drop significantly. However, because the economic status of black Americans was low, they could not afford to buy radios and had to continue buying records, which forced some record companies to turn to produce music that blacks loved.

These two factors are big and small, which makes the American music industry occupied half of the country by blacks.

In short, radio broadcasting has contributed to the United States from the "progressive" era to the "hedonism" era.

Author's note: The above information is not from the Internet, but is excerpted and rewritten by the book "The Making of Fame Canaudiences" written by Richard Butsch, a professor of sociology at Riddle University in New Jersey.

"I have always said this to the public, and now I want to say it again: Although I am the chairman of Nypr (New York Public Radio) and later APR (National Public Radio), without my friend Yuan Yanshu, there would not be this radio station that occupies the highest listening rate all year round..."

"The establishment of Apr is really legendary, and I am one of the parties and witnesses. My friend Yuan Yanshu said that he could convince my grandfather with one sentence and help him build a national radio station. I swear to my grandfather's grave that I really believed that he could do it at that time. There is no way, the longer you have contacted Neo, the more you believe that any miracle might appear on him..."

"In addition to me, there were also Mr. Thomas Edison and his youngest son Mr. Theodore Edison. Unlike me, they not only did not believe Neo could do such a thing, but instead suspected that he wanted to become a lifelong employee of the First National Bank of New York. With my understanding of my grandfather, he should be eager for Mr. Yuan Yanshu to really work for him for the rest of his life..."

"But I must also admit frankly that I thought Neo would be as eloquent as usual. According to him, it is to make people "although I don't understand what he is saying very well, but I always feel that he is very powerful." As for 'one sentence' or something, it is either a rhetorical technique or a unique joke..."

"However, to my surprise, he really only said one sentence, and there were only three words in this sentence, that is..."

——Excerpt from Louis Baker’s memoir "The Miracle of the Miracle Family"

"Mr. Yuan Yanshu and I met in New Jersey on November 21, 1920. Why do I remember so clearly? Because this day is very important to me. Frankly speaking, although I studied in the Department of Physics at Columbia University, I myself love literature and art. Unfortunately, I really lacked talent in this area and was under pressure from my father, so I chose a major that I didn't like very much. But that day, Mr. Yuan pointed out the direction of my career..."

"Everyone says that my father, Mr. Thomas Edison, is a peerless genius. But in the eyes of my son, he is just an old man who is more diligent and stubborn than ordinary people. When it comes to the genius of the 20th century in my mind, the sciences are naturally two great physicists, Mr. Albert Einstein and Mr. Marx Planck. As for the liberal arts genius, I think only Mr. Yuan Yanshu is the only one. The first two have opened the door to the quantum world for us, while the latter is in charge of the key to our soul..."

"I realized this when I first met Mr. Yuan Yanshu. Because he convinced Mr. George Baker to fund a grand plan he had conceived with just three words. Of course, this sentence also convinced me. Even my stubborn father had to admit that this Chinese was very 'heard of blowing'. And this sentence was..."

——Excerpt from an interview conducted by Mr. Theodore Edison in the 1930s.

“Panemet red rcu color.”

Yuan Yan suddenly sprayed a cloud of smoke from his mouth, but it spread out with the curling blue smoke.

Anyone who can be called an "intellectual" among European and American countries can write a few words of Latin. This is just like anyone who can be called an "intellectual" in China can write a few words of...Classic Chinese.

That's right, Latin is the classical Chinese of European white-patterned people.

Until a hundred years later, Latin was one of the compulsory subjects in the two disciplines of law and medicine. American judges could really write all Latin trials, and American doctors could really write all Latin medical records. When faced with such trials and medical records, the general public could only find a lawyer who understood Latin and another doctor.

In other words, Latin, like classical Chinese, is a "noble language" used to distinguish between superiors and inferiors.

Some of the irony is that in order to welcome the "Mr. De" and "Mr. Sai" brought by Western countries, a major country in the East has broken the barriers of classical Chinese. This is the current vernacular movement in full swing... Don't worry, our Master Yuan will definitely make a fuss.

The status of Latin is so high that the best among European and American bachelor's, master's and doctoral students will be awarded Latin degree honors.

Just like philosophiaeducator does not refer to a doctorate who specializes in philosophy, summacumlaude does not refer to students who study Latin, but to the best graduates. (Interested patients can use "Latin Degree Honors" on Baidu)

So Old Baker and Old Edison, who were born in poor background, couldn't understand this sentence, but the rich second-generation Little Baker and Edison blurted out: "Bread and circus?"

Very good. With these two human translators, you won’t pretend to be stupid if you pretend to be stupid.

"That's right, gentlemen. It's the bread and circus that the ancient Romans said!"

Yuan Yan, who was proudly standing upright, held a cigar in her hand, looked around the four people around her with a bright look, and finally focused her eyes on George F. Baker.

The 80-year-old man frowned and thought hard at first, but he immediately stretched his eyebrows, raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth and showed a joyful expression.

"Yeah um...hehe...hahaha..."

He couldn't help laughing out loud, and the laughter became louder and louder.

Mr. Baker laughed for a long time before he stopped the laughter. He sighed with regret and shook his head and said, "Mr. Yuan, it's such a pity..."

"I think you won't come to my First National Bank of New York. But..."

"I was really convinced by you, so..."

"You won!"

Yuan Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. This "Wall Street Miracle" was born in poor origins, so Latin should not be able to do so. But a big man like him who can climb to such a high position must love learning, so ancient Roman history should always be aware of some.

A big capitalist who has read ancient Roman history, is well versed in the development of the United States, has been exposed to various industries, is smart and flexible, can definitely understand the meaning of the sentence "panemet red rcu s."

"Thank you!" Our Master Yuan smiled slightly, circled his right hand around his chest and left hand to his back, bowing to the old man casually like an actor leaving.

He stood up and smiled, "Mr. Baker, you didn't lose either!"

"Well...hahaha!" George Baker nodded with a smile after thinking for a moment, "Yes, I really didn't lose!"

Then, the old and the young looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent...

However, the other two young men could not keep up with the two of them...

"And he really convinced my grandfather with one sentence. But besides the two of them, I also had Mr. Edison and his son who didn't understand what he meant. At that time, just like the joke that Neo often said, 'I feel that my IQ and self-esteem were hit hard'..."

"What made me feel even more hurt was that I finally asked..."

——Excerpt from Louis Baker’s memoir "The Miracle of the Miracle Family"

"No, Louis. You didn't understand?"

"What? Theodore, you understand but can't say it?"

"So what about Mr. Edison...you understand but you don't want to say it?"

"Since that's the case, I'll explain it a little."

Our Master Yuan took a beautiful sip of the cigar again, sprayed a ball of green smoke and said calmly: "Gentlemen, we still have the vast American people in a time that is not the best, but it can be regarded as a beautiful era..."

Of course, this is for you Americans. And now there are still nine years before the Great Depression, you... well, if you have me, then let's enjoy it together.

He nodded at Mr. George Baker, and smiled sincerely at Mr. Thomas Edison and said, "It is precisely because the United States of America has outstanding figures like Mr. Baker and Mr. Edison that it has today's prosperity. The American people are not only far away from hunger and war, but also bid farewell to poverty and hardship..."

But my motherland and my compatriots still have to roll in the quagmire of hunger and war, and only after a hundred years can we see the dawn of a well-off society for the whole nation.

He pointed to the other two young Americans and said, "So shouldn't we juniors continue along the path they have opened? They meet the basic material needs of the American people, and we should provide spiritual needs..."

However, where does this "demand" take the American people, it is best to let me decide!

Yuan Yan said this, and the other three "New Roman nobles" who were also smart people finally showed a sudden enlightenment.

The ancient Roman nobles had the obligation to provide free bread to Roman citizens, and they also had the obligation to allow them to enjoy wonderful circus gladiators.

However, the New Roman nobles were not obliged to provide free bread, but were obliged to provide wonderful circus gladiators. What’s even better is that the New Roman nobles also had the right to gain huge benefits from unfree bread and wonderful circus gladiators!

"Gentlemen, your wine!"

At this time, the waiter brought their after-dinner wine. Yuan Yan suddenly ordered the "Bloody Mary".

If this world is destined to be overwhelmed by blood, then I, a time traveler, naturally have the obligation and power to make these blood flow more wonderfully, more gorgeously, and more beneficial to my motherland and my compatriots.

Isn't that the case?!

Master Yuan, who should have been favored by Hades, raised a transparent wine glass filled with scarlet liquid. At this moment, he looked like Apollo possessed and said with an extremely bright smile: "Gentlemen..."

“cheers!”
