Chapter 22 write

In the 1940s, the dictatorship of the Kuomintang aroused public dissatisfaction, and the party's calls for democracy and constitutionalism were also very strong.The Party Headquarters of the Southwest Associated Region of the Kuomintang held a meeting and publicly recommended Feng Youlan to write to Chiang Kai-shek, asking the Nationalist government to establish a constitution in order to calm people's hearts.The letter wrote: Seeing the falling of a leaf, you will know that it will be in late autumn.The Xiqing House was so slow in implementing constitutionalism that it lost popular support, and it was the party that succeeded.The past is not far, but it can be used as a lesson.It is said that after seeing it, Chiang Kai-shek was "moved and wept for it", and soon wrote back to the Southwest Associated University, expressing his agreement to the request in the letter and implementing a constitution.

After writing the petition to Chiang Kai-shek, the professors were quite appreciative. Lei Haizong said to Feng Youlan: "Even if all the books you wrote are lost, this article can make you immortal." Feng Youlan wrote the school song of Southwest Associated University: From the autumn of 1939 to the turn of spring and summer in 1940, Chen Lifu, as the Minister of Education, ordered the United Nations University three times to abide by the curriculum approved by the Ministry of Education, to unify the teaching materials of colleges and universities across the country, and to hold unified examinations and other new regulations.The purpose of this order is of course to strengthen the Chiang regime's ideological rule over higher education and knowledge.The Academic Affairs Council of the UNGA sent a letter to the UNGA Standing Committee to resist Chen Lifu's three orders.Feng Youlan is the author of this official "letter" with perfect wording and reasoning.

In April 1946, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Nankai University were preparing to go north for demobilization, and decided to leave a monument at the original site to commemorate it.On May 4th, teachers and students of Southwest United University held a graduation ceremony in the library, and then went to the back hill of the campus to hold the unveiling ceremony of the "National Southwest United University Monument".The inscription was written by Professor Feng Youlan, Dean of the School of Liberal Arts of Southwest Associated University, sealed by Professor Wen Yiduo of the Department of Chinese Literature, and written by Professor Luo Yong, Director of the Department of Chinese Literature.Feng Youlan's "National Southwest Associated University Memorial Inscription" is recognized as an article comparable to Chen Yinke's majestic essay in memory of Wang Guowei, and has been regarded by the historian He Bingdi as the "most essay" and "immortal essay" that blends the past and the present.

Feng Youlan is full of hope for the future of China. In the inscription of the United Nations General Assembly, he wrote that China is "along with the great powers of the world, although they are new but not ancient; Greece and Rome, there are ancient but not present. But my country, from ancient times to present, is both new and old. The so-called Zhou is an old state, but its order is to restore it!"
