When I was at Southwest Associated University, there was a student named Lin Guoda who was an overseas Chinese in Mr. Jin's class.He likes to ask weird questions.Once he asked a question that was logically sound but had a wrong meaning, and asked Mr. Jin to explain it.Jin Yuelin thought for a while and asked back: "I ask you a question: 'Mr. Lin Guoda is perpendicular to the blackboard' (Lin Guoda Jun is perpendicular to the blackboard), what does this mean?" The students were stunned by the question.Because there is nothing wrong with the logic of this sentence, but Lin Guoda cannot be perpendicular to the blackboard.Later, Lin Guoda drowned because of swimming.After Jin Yuelin learned about this, he said in class: "Lin Guoda died, unfortunately." In this class, Jin Yuelin never smiled.

Zhang Xiruo is an old friend of Jin Yuelin.During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the family fell into a stalemate of economic tension.One morning, his wife found a very generous sum of money on a chair in the living room.He hurriedly asked Mr. Zhang: "Where did you get so much money?" Mr. Zhang was also surprised, not knowing where the money came from.Then I thought that last night, Mr. Jin had come to his house to chat.Suddenly realized: "Lao Jin must have done a good job!" When he was at Southwest Associated University, Jin Yuelin sponsored several students whose families lived in the enemy-occupied areas and whose families had financial difficulties to continue their studies.There was a student named Rong Jingxing who was so poor that he didn't even have cotton-padded clothes for winter.

The Department of Philosophy of Tsinghua University, the Department of Philosophy of Peking University, and many people in the Institute of Philosophy have received Jin Yuelin's selfless support, and they go to him when they have difficulties.And some people were too embarrassed to talk to him directly, so his student Zhou Liquan was the lobbyist in the middle. Mr. Jin Yuelin had a student, Liang Zhixue, who was assigned to work in the History of Western Philosophy Group of the Institute of Philosophy in 1956.In May 1960, after being classified as a rightist, comrades who studied foreign philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy followed the requirements of the third session of the Ministry of Philosophy and Society, went to the Beijing Library to check new materials and write evaluation materials.Mr. Jin and his team leaders Jiang Pizhi and He Lin went by car, and Liang Zhixue went there by bicycle.When crossing the road from east to west on the street, he was knocked to the ground by two policemen.Seeing this situation in the car, Mr. Jin said to Jiang Pizhi beside him: "Look, he fell down, you have to help him up." Jiang said: "Yes, we are saving him." Later the driver told Liang Zhixue had a conversation with them. At that time, he was wearing the hat of a rightist, and many people were afraid to avoid it. Mr. Jin did not consider such factors, and said such words in front of grassroots party organizers, which made him feel that Mr. Jin treated the students His love made him very restless.
