When Fu Sinian learned that he had won a place to study abroad with government funding, he wrote to his friends' followers: "I have always had many questions in my mind and few answers. You know that. In the past two or three years, I have accumulated and stimulated many Questions. In the past four or five months, the questions in my mind have become bigger and bigger, and at the same time, all the previous answers have been overturned. This makes me hungry for studying, so hungry that I can't wait to fly out of China in this second. " After Yu Pingbo, who went to the UK together, returned to China, Fu Sinian made up his mind to study hard. He devoted himself to the study of experimental psychology, and at the same time took courses in natural sciences such as chemistry, physics, mathematics, and medicine.But Fu Sinian still had worries in his heart. He wrote in a letter to his friends: "It is so far away, and the success is really uncertain. But I would rather make a big one without a result, than settle for a false result."

In 1928, when Fu Sinian reported to Hu Shih that the Institute of History and Philology had been prepared, he said that in order to "strive for the ideal and to be proud of China for China, we must go all the way." Fu Sinian's Institute of History and Philology adheres to the principle of "finding new talents" and discards "those who have gained a reputation for their pomp".He firmly believes that the world is so big that there will always be seeds of reading, even in times of war.For Fu Sinian's great reward, many young students followed him into the wilderness without hesitation.Wang Liqi, a Jiangjin student, graduated from the Chinese Department of Sichuan University just as Peking University’s Graduate School of Liberal Arts was recruiting students in Chongqing.He went to Chongqing to find Fu Sinian.Fu Sinian gave him a separate test.At that time, enemy planes frequently bombed Chongqing. Before Wang Liqi finished his first English test, he evaded the enemy planes' bombing seven times.At noon, when Fu Sinian entertained Wang Liqi for dinner, he told him: "Go back to Jiangjin tomorrow. The enemy planes bombed Chongqing indiscriminately. It is very dangerous. Don't take the test. I tell you, you will take it when you are dry. I also plan to give you Chinese and English money." Scholarship. Do you go to Kunming or Lizhuang? It’s up to you. There are teachers in Kunming; the Lizhuang Institute of History and Linguistics of Academia Sinica is there, and there are books.” Wang Liqi chose to go to Lizhuang and became Fu Sinian’s graduate student.
