"Why can't our schools always train outstanding talents?" "Why can't we produce a master after the founding of the People's Republic of China more than 60 years ago?" The deafening "Qian Xuesen's Question" pointed to the bottleneck and weakness of Chinese education.However, after a heated discussion, no solution was found, and the master remained hidden. The past era always makes people feel nostalgic, even in troubled times like the Republic of China.For today's people, the Republic of China is a special era. Someone once described it like this: "Neither old nor new, old and new; East and west, east and west.” It was an era of freedom of thought and active academics, and many masters emerged as a result.Their previous ideals, their faces and words and deeds, their demeanor, temperament, mind, knowledge and taste are all admirable.Re-reading the masters, their high-spirited deeds are all revived here one by one. The subtle words restore the real background of these "great masters" and show their unique life history and spirit of exploration. It is the stubborn and upright backs of each one who "reaches the goal and helps the world".

Those who carry their backs are the real masters, the admirable masters.Living in such a turbulent historical period, they used their own knowledge and talents to write their own stalwart personalities, and made an extraordinary and extraordinary sound of the times.Changes in certain aspects of Chinese history have been accelerated by their contributions.They are simple in appearance but noble in heart, with the world in mind and eager to do what they do.They live so ordinary among the crowd, but they are always concerned about the fate of the whole nation. They study in knowledge, but laugh outside of interpersonal relationships.Their thoughts are far away from ordinary life, but they are related to the fate of the family and the country.As the benchmark of civilization, they make the culture three-dimensional and free the spirit. They have ideals and ambitions that are clearly branded by the times, but the bookish atmosphere is hard to hide, and there is no need to hide it; otherwise, they will not be them.Of course, the concept of "searching things to learn knowledge" left to Chinese scholars after the strong impact of Western civilization on China also cleanses their hearts all the time.Looking at those back figures, we can truly feel that standing up is not only the body, but also the spirit of standing forever.

What is shown here is not a comprehensive person, not a biography, but a profile or a bit of some people.It is neither necessary nor possible to present their entire lives to the reader.What we capture are only some vivid fragments of their lives, some moving moments, and some of the most unforgettable parts, which bring us reading and emotion while leaving us with infinite thinking.In the peaceful description, a large amount of historical materials and little-known stories interspersed in it become our most unique memory about them, and their image has become clearer because of this—we are grateful that Hu Shi was elected by Chiang Kai-shek for the presidency, But we smiled because he was earning a doctor's hat abroad; we were delighted by Zhang Taiyan's angry Yuan Shikai, and admired him for being the first to ask for marriage in a newspaper; Not coming", "Snow will not come", "Wind will not come"...

Re-reading them makes people yearn for it; looking up at the masters, we will not only be strengthened spiritually, but also become stronger ideologically.Let's get close to the masters, those names that shine brightly in modern Chinese history, and have a joyful journey of heart and spirit...
