Ma Yinchu likes to digress when he speaks.Peking University held a student sports meeting, and the students all hoped that Ma Yinchu would come to the meeting. Generally, he would come on time. If he was invited to speak, he would always refuse.Ma Yinchu knew very well that he had the habit of leaving the manuscript when he was so excited, so he specially asked him to write a speech script for him, write it in big characters, and use "you college students" instead of "our college students". Just follow the script for the time being."That being said, at that time, as long as he has a feeling, he will be free to speak freely. At this time, the drafter will exclaim "Oops, Oops!" Sexual sincerity applauds.

The delegation of Indian college students visited Peking University, and the head of the other party was the Minister of Education. Of course, the reception of Peking University required the presence of the principal. draft.After all, Ma Yinchu is old, and it has become a habit to speak freely off the manuscript. He has experience in the past, but in this case, the office director will make a gesture to remind him in the first row, but it often does not work. To prevent accidents this time, Ma Yinchu thought They found a way to ask someone to send someone to deliver tea when he left the speech, and if he couldn't stop it, open the teacup for him and tell him the word "drink tea".This time it worked, the female student just brought the teacup and softly said the three words "please Mr. Ma", he immediately came to his senses and turned his eyes back to the lecture notes. Since then, he has not left the lecture notes to talk about an off-topic topic. Words, let those who care about him in the audience feel relieved.

The scene of Ma Yinchu moving a chair and sitting next to the desk on the stage is no stranger to Peking teachers and students.When leaders or cultural celebrities come to the school to give speeches, he often does this so that he can communicate with the speaker at any time.Once, a deputy director of the State Sports Commission came to Peking University to give a speech. According to common sense, Ma Yinchu did not need to accompany him. He doesn't like physical exercise, and his health is very poor, so he doesn't come to listen to such an important meeting.The person who was criticized was Professor Jian Bozan, the head of the history department.Some students who were present at the time recalled that the "personal attack" behind Principal Ma's remarks made everyone laugh. "Professor Jian's thin and frail figure appeared in front of his eyes, and then he looked at Principal Ma's strong appearance, and I really felt that President Ma's words made sense."

On April 27, 1957, Ma Yinchu talked about population issues in the dining hall of Peking University. Beforehand, there was a yellow paper poster on the "Principal's Office Announcement" outside the small dining hall. With experience, I would like to report my learning experience to all professors and college students in the dining hall at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, X, X. Please come and guide me at that time." Finally, there is a correct personal signature: "Sincerely, Ma Yinchu".That day he invited everyone to listen to the report in his own name, and the people who attended the meeting were very enthusiastic.Mr. Ma talked about the seriousness of China's population problem, and at the same time predicted the development trend of China's population. The people who listened to the lecture below talked a lot, and some people delivered notes to the stage from time to time.

On the day of Ma Yinchu's speech, a note from the audience was passed to the host Gao Wangzhi, and the traditional transmission process was interrupted. At this time, there were constant boos from the audience. The host immediately said, "Bring it, you don't want to be corrupt."Gao Wangzhi blushed and immediately took out a note from his bag, and gave it to Mr. Ma respectfully with both hands.Mr. Ma took the note and said, "Let me see what a serious problem this is." He immediately held up the note and stated: "Let me read it first: Mr. Ma, which horse are you? Is it Marx's horse or Malthus's?" After a short pause, "I will answer now: I am Ma Yinchu's horse first, and also..." At this time, Ma Yinchu's words were interrupted by stormy applause from the audience. A 74-year-old man said such charming words in public, It's amazing.After a while, Ma Yinchu went on to say, "It's also Marx's horse!" The language was decisive and the tone was sonorous.There was another burst of thunderous applause from the audience.The following is a criticism of Malthus's population theory, which means that it is completely different from my Ma Yinchu's point of view.

Once, Vice Premier Li Fuchun came to Peking University to give a speech. Ma Yinchu called him Mr. Li and Vice Premier Li for a while, and "Vice President Li" for a while.It reminds many students of Li Zongren.When Kang Sheng came to speak at the school, Ma called him "Mr. Kang" and "Mr. Kang Sheng" for a while, and "Comrade Kang Sheng" for a while. In the end, the titles of comrade and Mr. were all exempted, and he called him by his first name: "Now let Kang Sheng speak!"
