In the early years, Xiong Shili and He Zixin participated in the revolution together. He Zixin once said to Xiong Shili: "The king is weak and capable of prose, and he has a heroic spirit when he rises up to write. However, the quick solution search mystery, the poor wisdom responds to things, and the deep understanding is short-witted." When a senior learns righteousness, talent is ashamed of the state, and learning and talent do not have to be combined. A husband who inspires a scholar is left alone, which is what you can't bear; a leader who leads a group of people is dependent on change, so what can you do? Carrying on from the past and opening up the future It is hopeful; the career path is over." Shili Buddha said, "The first class people in the world are naturally in line with learning and work. Brother, why do you underestimate me?" He Zixin remained silent.

After He Zixin's death, Xiong Shili said in his biography: "The Republic of China was established, and there was chaos. E, roaming around Guangdong and Guangdong, silently observing people's hearts and minds, and knowing the difficulties in the future. Then I realized that there is a big event in my life, and there are people who are outside the political revolution. I regret the past with no true ambition. Every time there is a lack of slack, I don’t think about my self-renewal words, and I am ashamed and encouraged.” Xiong Shili said in a letter to his friends: "The reason why Li speaks is easy to scold others. It is all because of compassion and deeds that cannot be tolerated... However, Li is only verbal, but he never criticizes the sages in words. This is wrong. If you dare not to respect yourself, the sages will notice it." It is precisely because the Xiong family treats people out of the heart, and the heart has no city, although the style of the family is steep and the mouth is unobstructed, there are quite a few young talents who come to accompany.

In addition to Mou Zongsan who "often visited Mr. Xiong", Luo Changpei, Zheng Tianting and others also paid homage to Xiong Shili's disciples.Luo was already a professor and dean of the department at that time, but he respected the arrogant and unrestrained Lecturer Xiong.Xiong likes to eat chicken. When the students came to see him, they knew the teacher's hobby, and always had a chicken behind him.Xiong was never polite to the students. For a while, he simply moved to live with the students.People say that Mr. Liang is mostly a student living in the teacher's house, and Xiong Ze is mostly a teacher living in the student's house.

In 1928, Tang Yongtong and others invited Xiong Shili to give a lecture at Nanjing Central University.Xiong has never liked speeches. He once swore that "I don't want to be a celebrity, I don't write for newspapers and magazines, and I shouldn't make a speech appointment" and "I have never spoken with thick people, so I am clumsy in eloquence."However, this time it was an appointment with old friends, and Xiong, who was not eloquent, had no choice but to give a "speech among people".This lecture attracted another handsome scholar——Tang Junyi, and it was at this time that Mr. Tang became the leader of Xiong's family.

Xiong Shili once sent a message to his disciple Tang Junyi, saying: "I also told Junyi to comment on materialistic literature, so you should not write more. However, Fang Zhengxue, Yuzhu, Zheng Suonan, Chuanshan, Tinglin, and Wancun's sages' national thoughts must be If such a spiritual tree cannot be cultivated, nothing can be discussed. If the habit of celebrities cannot be broken, the national thought cannot be cultivated. If celebrities have no heart, no real strength, what kind of love is there, and hope for independence? In other words, everyone must say that they knew it early, but they really didn't know it. Tao Shi once said: "Let's talk about it. This is very profound! Today, people use their pens to play with their tongues, and they know so much. In fact, they all talk about it. Today Do you have a sense of the downfall of your race when you go to the famous people?" This taught Tang Junyi to stay with him all the time, and he was cited as the seat right. When he arrived in Hong Kong, he put it under the glass plate of his desk, and constantly introspected.

In 1943, Xu Fuguan heard that his friends praised and introduced Xiong Shili, and then saw the volume of Mr. Xiong's "New Consciousness-Only Theory" at his boss, so he wrote a letter to Mr. Xiong to express his admiration. "In a few days, I actually received a reply letter, thick paper and thick ink, with red and ink circles on the side. After receiving my letter, it was followed by two words: 'I am interested in learning, and scholars are people." In this sentence, I explained the principles of studying and being a human being. When it comes to the courtesy that younger generations should have to their seniors, I blamed my sloppy writing and lack of sincerity and respect, so I asked me to pay special attention. The inspiration and touch of this letter surpassed "New Consciousness-Only Theory". Because the sentences are solid and dignified, in the straightforward tone, there is magnetic attraction."

At the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Xu Fuguan went to visit Mr. Xiong Shili. Before leaving, Mr. Xiong sent him far away, talking about his poverty experience while walking, and shedding soybean-sized tears from time to time. Xiong Shili admonishes Zhang Zhongxing's words: In the midst of busy schedules every day, you must read great works from ancient and modern times.At least a few pages, without interruption.To search for principles, one must search for multi-dimensionality, and even more so, one must delve into the depths. Don't take superficial knowledge and solutions as real enlightenment.

Xiong Shili's old friend Deng Gaojing stayed in Peiping during the Anti-Japanese War.When Xiong Shili returned to Peking University and saw that he was living in poverty, Xiong Shili proposed that Mr. Lin Zaiping and Tang Yongtong give him living expenses on a monthly basis.This support lasted until the death of Mr. Deng Lao. In 1962, due to the extreme difficulties of the national economy, Xiong Shili offered to cut his salary, but was not approved. Wang Yuanhua once recalled his visit to Xiong Shili in 1962: he was thin and vigorous, with lively eyes, a beard, all white, no hair, a flat top, and old-fashioned trousers.I expressed my admiration, and he asked me where I worked, what books I was reading, and so on.He is in a good mood today.His attitude is gentle, his speech is also extremely refined, and his tone is almost weak.

I was pretty much cut off from people at the time, and my situation made me lonely.I think he has the power to understand others, and his eyes seem to contain silent sympathy for the insulted and injured, which makes me feel an affinity from the bottom of my heart when I see him.This feeling may seem out of the blue, but I believe in it.In the nearly three years we have been together, I have never told what happened to me, and he has never asked.It was not until more than ten years after his death that I learned from his Zheshi Shibo and his wife that Mr. Shili was very clear about my rough experience and the situation at that time, and he once groaned for it.He became an uninhibited and eccentric figure in people's minds.But he also has a soft, approachable side.
