Jin Yuelin advocates that students have their own opinions and encourages them to express their opinions.Once at a logic seminar, someone mentioned a book by Gödel, who was famous at the time. Jin Yuelin said he would buy it and read it. One of his students at that time, Shen Youding, immediately said to Mr. Jin: "To be honest, you can't understand it. Yes." Hearing this, Mr. Jin oh-oh-ohhed twice, and then said, "That's fine." Mr. Wu Mi is also a good friend of Jin Yuelin.Mr. Wu was also a brave lover. He published his love poems in newspapers, among which were two sentences: "Wu Mi loves Mao Yanwen bitterly, people from three continents were shocked to hear about it".Everyone asked Jin Yuelin to persuade Wu Mi, and he said to Wu Mi: We don't know whether your poem is good or not, but it involves Mao Yanwen, which is not something to be published publicly.This is a private matter and should not be publicized in the newspapers.We go to the bathroom every morning, but we don't advertise it.Wu Mi couldn't help being furious, patted the table and said, "My love is not about going to the toilet!" Elder Jin also felt that what he said was wrong, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he stood and listened to Mr. Wu scolding for a long time.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, Jin Yuelin lived in the front and back yards of Beijing with the famous architects Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin.He often saw Liang Si going up and down the roof as a figure on an ancient building, so he made up a couplet for Liang Lin and his wife: "The gentleman above the beam, the beauty under the forest". "The gentleman on the beam" refers to a thief in China, and the irony is used here, and it is just right.So Liang Sicheng was very happy to hear that.He also said: "I just want to be a 'gentleman on the beam', otherwise how can I open a new research path, isn't it just talking on paper?" It seems doable. I still have a lot of things to do!" Meaning, women are not for people to admire.After hearing this, Jin Yuelin expressed his approval and applauded again and again.

During the Cultural Revolution, a certain philosopher criticized logic at Peking University. The host of the meeting asked the logician Jin Yuelin to talk about his experience. Mr. Jin simply said: "This man speaks very logically."
