Chapter 112 Go south again

As architects, Huiyin and Sicheng are particularly pleased that the ancient Beijing has never been neater and fresher.Beside the city wall and the moat, mountains of rubbish have been removed, some of which have been piled up for decades or hundreds of years.The foul-smelling Longxugou and the rotten mud pond were filled up.The streets and alleys are leveled and clean. Huiyin and Sicheng knew the Communist Party through what they saw and recognized the Communist Party. The ever-changing and enthusiastic life is a romantic life, and a romantic new life has an eternal appeal to young people.In this year, Liang Zaibing, the daughter of Huiyin and Sicheng, joined the People's Liberation Army's southward work group, and Zhang Xiruo's daughter Zhang Wenying joined the army southward with her.Two young girls, wearing military caps, crudely sewn, oversized military uniforms, and military belts around their waists, bid farewell to their families in the Tsinghua Campus.Mrs. Zhang Xiruo kept wiping her tears silently, but the two girls couldn't care less about their sadness.They are proud of their life choices and this brand new attire, a sign that they are saying goodbye to the old and moving on to a new life.The attachment in my heart was replaced by eager yearning, and the longing for the future diluted the sadness of parting.

Cong Jie ran around to take pictures of them.It is spring, and the garden is full of fresh green and full of vitality.The smile on the young man's face was bright and pure. This year, Cong Jie was already a student of the History Department of Peking University.He originally applied for the Department of Architecture and Architecture at Tsinghua University. This was his own wish, as well as the wish of Sicheng and Huiyin.However, his test scores were almost not enough for the admission scores of Tsinghua University's Construction Department, and he was admitted to Peking University.Neither Liang Sicheng nor Lin Huiyin thought about making an exception to admit Cong Jie to the Department of Architecture.

In the autumn of 1949, the new school year began.This is the second year of Liang Sicheng's implementation of the new teaching plan. "Wen Wei Po" published his "Draft of the Academic System and Program of the Department of Construction and Engineering, Tsinghua University Engineering School".The draft embodies his thoughts on architectural education: respect for tradition, but not stick to it; learn from the West, but not limited to the West.In the teaching plan, the courses of modernity and tradition, reality and history, engineering and art, science and technology and humanities are reasonably structured and integrated.

April 1950 was the first anniversary of Tsinghua University after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there were many commemorative and celebration activities in various departments.The Department of Architecture was on the upper floor of the New Water Conservancy Museum at that time. During the school celebration, the urban planning course design, students' sculpture and art work, as well as the handicrafts designed by Mr. Gao Zhuang and the oil paintings of Mr. Li Zongjin were exhibited.There were many visitors, and Lin Huiyin also wanted to see the results of her students, but she didn't have the energy to go up the stairs.In order to fulfill her wish, the students let her sit in a wicker chair and lifted her up.

Lin Huiyin stayed at the exhibition site for a long time, carefully reading the students' homework, praising and commenting happily.She is particularly excited about urban planning and design, which highlights the guiding ideology of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, which is not only respect for people, but also respect for nature. On the table at the exit, there is an open opinion book.Many people praised the exhibition of the Department of Architecture as an eye-opener, and some wrote: "After seeing this exhibition, I don't understand what the Department of Architecture does", "It's a collection of fantasy".
