Chapter 71 brother

Ma Yinchu likes to call himself "brother", and this is true regardless of the occasion, age or position of the partner. In 1951, Ma Yinchu, who had passed the seventies, became the president of Peking University.At the meeting where Peking University teachers and students welcomed Ma Yinchu, Ma said to Peking University teachers and students: "Brothers are honored to come to Peking University as the president. Brothers will present three challenges to everyone: first, brothers must learn Russian.  …Second, Brothers want to ride horses and climb mountains...Third, brothers take a cold bath in winter."

In 1951, the inauguration ceremony of President Ma Yinchu was held in the Democracy Square of Peking University. The scene was solemn and enthusiastic. Ma Yinchu still called himself "brother" in his speech. He said: "Since 'brother' is appointed by the government, I will do things according to the government's will. I hope everyone can learn from each other. , help each other, and work hard to complete our mission.” Ma Yinchu gave a speech at Peking University and often called himself "brother and me" to students. At the age of 73, the first sentence of his speech was often: "Brother is seventy-three years old this year..."

Whenever Peking University holds a general assembly, Ma Yinchu always smiles, and uses his thick Jiangsu-Zhejiang accent to say a few opening remarks such as "Brothers, I represent Peking University...".Then, he opened the ponytail that he carried with him, sat sideways beside the speaker, and listened carefully to the lecture with all the teachers and students in the school. When Ma Yinchu was in charge of Peking University, every New Year's Eve held a New Year's gathering for the whole school in the dining hall.When the New Year's bell rang, Ma Yinchu appeared in front of the teachers and students of the school on time, either because he was in good spirits, or because he was a little drunk after drinking, his face was always red, and he would call himself "brother" to congratulate the teachers and students of the school for the New Year.
