Chapter 2 nerd

Jin Yuelin has a strong interest in learning. He often recites books while sleeping and dreaming at night. Many adults sincerely admire his dedication.Once, he recited an ancient prose in his dream. After his sister found out, she secretly took the book and listened to it, and found that he had recited it word for word.Later, this incident became a good story in the family. Mr. Jin Yuelin often concentrates on learning, sometimes to the point where he even forgets his own name.According to Mr. Bing Xin, Jin Yuelin once told her something. He said that when he went out to visit a friend, he rang the doorbell at the door, and the maid of the friend's house came out to open the door and asked Jin Yuelin "your name".He forgot his "noble surname" all of a sudden, and couldn't figure it out.There is no way, he said to the maid, wait a minute, I will ask my driver.The maid was so shocked that she opened her mouth and was speechless for a long time.When telling Bing Xin about this, Jin Yuelin also humorously said, I am really old, and my memory is so bad that I "forget myself"!

Jin Yuelin called Tao Menghe one day, Tao's waiter asked him: "Who are you?" Say "I forgot".But the waiter said "no"!He asked for it two or three times, but it still didn't work, so he had to ask Wang Xi (Jin Yuelin's rickshaw driver) for advice.Wang Xi also said "I don't know"!Jin Yuelin said: "Haven't you heard anyone say it?" He said: "I only heard someone called Dr. Jin." The word "Jin" reminded Mr. Jin. Later, Mr. Jin Yuelin told his friends about it as a joke.A friend told him a more mysterious thing: when the literati Pan Zinian was in Chongqing, when he was signing autographs, he suddenly became in a daze and couldn't remember his name.Someone next to him said that his surname was Pan, but just one surname is not enough to make a name.Pan Zinian asked loudly again: "Ali, Pan?" It meant what Pan was, but I still couldn't remember.Mr. Jin Yuelin was a little relieved when he heard this.When writing memoirs in my later years, I remember my "forgetfulness" in the front, and Pan Zinian who forgot more seriously than myself in the back.

In the 1930s, Jin Yuelin brooded in a corner of his small attic every morning, wandering in the ocean of abstract thoughts.Even in Southwest Associated University in the autumn of war, he was still thinking about books tirelessly.Jin Yuelin has a habit: use the three days a week when he is not in class to devote himself to learning and never see any guests.In this case, it is inevitable to forget the Japanese bombs.At that time, Jin Yuelin lived in the student dormitory building of Kunhua Normal School. On September 28, 1938, Japanese planes raided Yunnan, and Jin Yuelin turned a deaf ear to the air raid siren in his study.Fortunately, Mr. Jin was lucky. A few bombs exploded around Mr. Jin's building, but the building he lived in was fine!When he was awakened and ran out of the building, he found that the ground was in a mess, and he was in a daze.

Jin Yuelin loves to drink milk. He ordered many bottles in winter. In summer, he couldn't drink so much, so he often invited neighbors to drink, and repeatedly begged: "You must help me with this favor." A neighbor said to him after learning the reason Order milk can be increased or decreased at any time, order more in winter and less in summer.He praised again: "You are so smart!" While teaching at Tsinghua University, both Jin Yuelin and Mr. Chen Daisun lived in the Academic Affairs Office of Tsinghua University.Once, Principal Mei Yiqi went out and entrusted Mr. Chen to represent the school.One day, when Jin Yuelin was about to go to the bathroom, he found out that there was no toilet paper. Instead of rushing to find it, he sat down and wrote a note asking for toilet paper to Chen Daisun: "Fu Yitai sits in the town, the principal has nothing to worry about, and the person who stays behind is the best. Colleagues feel that it is easy to follow. I have a request, I have no yellow papyrus, please give me a piece of paper, and I will give it to Liu Shun to take to the toilet, and I will go there to sit in the hall." That means, you are now an agent of the school. It should solve the problem for me, even though it is just a piece of toilet paper.

Jin Yuelin is afraid of light.Under normal circumstances, no matter when and where, he will wear a sun hat with the brim lowered as much as possible, while his head can only be tilted slightly.The lenses of his eyes are two colors like black and white.This iconic shape makes people feel a little strange. Jin Yuelin himself joked to the students: "When I was young, my eyes were not good. How bad is it? Because my left eye is 800 degrees short-sighted and the right eye is far-sighted. 700 degrees, and a car came, I saw seven or eight, and then I didn't know which one to hide, maybe none of the seven or eight were real."

After liberation, Zhou Yuanpei asked Jin Yuelin to be the dean of the Department of Philosophy at Peking University.Jin Yuelin said that he would not do it, and that Ai Siqi was there, and instead of looking for him, he came to look for himself.Zhou Peiyuan said: "If you want to do it, you do it." Jin Yuelin came to Peking University as the dean of the Department of Philosophy.Not long after, someone scolded Jin Yuelin face to face. Before liberation, one of them would definitely leave.Jin Yuelin's recollection of this incident is: "What should I do in the new society? I don't know. In the end, he didn't leave, and I didn't quit. The business can't be done, let alone run well."

In 1955, Jin Yuelin left Peking University and was transferred to be the deputy director of the Institute of Philosophy, Chinese Academy of Sciences.Another deputy director said he should sit in the office.King stayed in the office all morning, and he didn't figure out how to "work".He said: "They said I should sit in the office. I don't know how the 'official' works, but I can always sit in the office. I sat in the office respectfully for the whole morning, and the 'official' didn't come. I was never approached at all. I just wasted a morning. If I were an intellectual, I really couldn't do anything as an intellectual."

Jin Yuelin recalled: I once met Mr. Zhang Shizhao at the Meridian Gate, but I don’t remember the year.A few simple words this time are quite interesting.I said: "You are only 13 years older than me, but I once regarded you as a big shot, and I recited your articles. The opening sentences of an article are: There is a basis for politics, and the basis is tolerance. Why tolerance?" Say, don't be the same..." He said: "It's very simple, I am 13 years older than you, but when you were 1 year old, I was 13 times older than you. When you were 15 years old, I was 13 times older than you. I’m 28, and it’s time to write an article. If I’m always 13 times older than you, that’s okay, then I’ve already become a member of the Ming Dynasty.” The truth is really simple.

Once, the leader of the Institute of Philosophy visited him and asked him to make a request.Unexpectedly, Mr. Jin said without hesitation: "I want money." Then he said with his fingers, my "Logic" does not need money, and "On Tao" does not ask for money, but "On Knowledge" will definitely give money.The leader knew that Mr. Jin was referring to the manuscript fee, so he was a little embarrassed; but Mr. Jin still didn't understand it, so he still said stupidly: "It's still the money."
