Chapter 11 51-55

Chapter 51: Confidence / Hou Guixin (8) After all, my Peking University is an old dream of sixteen years ago, which I can only recall occasionally in my smoky home.The resentment, arrogance and bohemian debauchery of that era have almost become an unspeakable discourse barrier, blocking my objective description of the past.Compared with the new century full of material desires and Internet spells, the Peking University we live in has somewhat remnants of the utopian temperament of the 1980s, and it coincides with the transformation of Chinese society and the bottoming out of the humanistic spirit. Therefore, in the 1990s In the past few years, Peking University's campus culture dominated by student associations seemed a bit deviant.

In the past three or two years, orthodox and unorthodox Peking University new associations have sprung up everywhere, and there are many hills, under the banners of academics, rock, Yan'an thought, qigong, national surveys, etc., and show their power on the bulletin boards in the triangle every day-- Although in that era, the content posted on the dilapidated posters was far more popular than today, and there was a faint smell of danger, but the great idea of ​​"rectifying the campus environment and demolishing the triangle" has never been put on the table .It was at that time (1993) that the established "May 4th Literature Society" designated Haizi's death date as the official day of the "Weiminghu Poetry Association". From the perspective of poetry and style, it is obvious that Jiang Hu has become a man.

The turbulent campus history in the early 1990s may partly stem from the reaction to the one-year military training policy for freshmen at Peking University from 1989 to 1993.Strict and lengthy military and political training failed to make "following the public and law-abiding" an internalized code of conduct for Peking University students, but instead made many young men and women who are in the rebellious period increasingly hate the restrained and repressed living conditions.As a result, my law department had to hold "law-abiding conferences" frequently, and some students who violated the rules came to the stage to "give reports" to everyone.The "unit" system in the traditional sense of China disintegrated rapidly during this period, which also allowed more non-mainstream marginal cultures to enter the field of vision of Peking University students.In addition to Western imports such as art films from French schools, cultural lectures from the Goethe Institute, and popular rock bands such as Black Panther, Tang Dynasty, and Cobra, "Wandering Beijing", "I Graduated", and "Beijing Bastards" Such underground films began to spread secretly, and the group of wandering artists living in the village of Yuanmingyuan, not far from Peking University, also used their poor, chaotic and free lifestyle to some extent to influence the culture of Peking University campus at that time. temperament.

At the end of 2005, China's "Art Observation" magazine described it in a chronological style in its grand perspective "30 Years of Art Memorabilia": "(1993) December 3rd, at the invitation of the 90s Society of Peking University, the painters of the Old Summer Palace An open-air modern art exhibition was held in the Triangle of Peking University." In the "Memorabilia of Yuanmingyuan Artists Village" compiled by the painters themselves, this exhibition is described in more detail: "Invited by the Peking University Student Association in the 1990s and approved by the Peking University Youth League Committee, Yuanmingyuan painters held the "90s Modern Art Exhibition" in the triangle of Peking University. It aroused the response of Peking University and all walks of life, and it was said to open the way for the growth of Peking University's new culture. This is also the first time that it has been held in universities across the country in recent years Large-scale art exhibition. Most of the Yuanmingyuan painters at that time participated in the exhibition."

Chapter 52: Confidence / Hou Guixin (9) The open-air painting exhibition in the Triangle of Peking University is recognized as a major event in the history of the Yuanmingyuan Artist Village, so many painters who have participated in the exhibition and later made a fortune always record it in their artistic resumes, but "open the way for the growth of new culture in Peking University" But it is destined to be a dead end.The new culture of Peking University quickly followed the wave of the times and transformed into the industrialization of education after the South Wall was torn down, and the short-lived "Nineties Society" has long been lost in the dust of history. An article circulated on the Internet, "My youth career in soil beetle literature at Peking University".

"The 1990s left a large amount of Quentin Tarantino-like material for the history of Peking University's folk school. They did not know where they got a monk who talked about Wittgenstein, and let him talk on the forum of Peking University. Confucianism, to promote the Dafa of Confucianism; in the name of improving the cultural quality of the school guards, they cheated the trust of the school to provide cultural tutoring for the school guards..." The author Hu Xudong, who is now an associate professor of Peking University, ridiculed with his usual spoof language style He said, "Thanks to this bird organization, I have seen a large number of bird people. At the end of 1992, the organization organized a modern art exhibition, bringing together a group of unkempt, crooked and inferior people from the Yuanmingyuan Painter Village, which had not yet reached its heyday. The avant-garde young and middle-aged people got the Beijing University Triangle, so that the persimmon forest in the triangle almost became a lice forest for these artists."

Looking through the old accounts, "Nineties", which opened in October 1992 and disbanded in May of the following year, still made a few valuable battles during its short survival period.Professor Xiao Weiyun, who was a member of the Hong Kong Basic Law Drafting Committee at the time, was invited to give a lecture on "Hong Kong's Legislative Situation--Comments on Patten's Restriction Act"; Professor Chen Kuying, a Taiwanese philosopher who had been silent for several years, was also appointed by the "National University of Taiwan" before he returned to National Taiwan University. In the 1900s, he was invited to give a speech on "A Dialogue between Classical Civilization and Real Life"; Mr. Jin Canrong from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences took the stage to discuss "Sino-US relations from Clinton's coming to power"; of course, Hu Xudong mentioned in his article that he talked about Wirtgen Stan's monk: Master Chunyi from Guangji Temple will talk about "Zen and the 1990s".Those speeches may no longer cause a sensation in Peking University today, but at that time, Peking University was more or less in turmoil.

This "bird organization" once fanatically protested the campus beauty pageant organized by the Peking University Student Union, resisted the "morning exercise ticket" system that required morning exercises around the west wall of the campus every morning, and called on the arrogant school library to increase the borrowing quota for undergraduates and pay for it at their own expense. More than 1,500 questionnaires were issued to verify the future and long-standing disadvantages of Peking University. The "90s" even "threatened" the newly elected student union bureau to bow in front of Cai Yuanpei's statue and scrub the dust for the bronze statue that had been dusted for a long time... Finally, in the On the night of the 95th anniversary celebration of Peking University, it used a banner poster that copied the epistle of "The Charm of the Spirit" and pasted it all over the triangular bulletin board, and a "candlelight lawn rock party" that was interpreted multiple times. The culmination of the climax announced its self-destructive end.

Chapter 53: Confidence / Hou Guixin (10) In a sense, this club named "Nineties" is a student-like and reckless action organization on the campus of Peking University. It may only appear in the early 1990s when Peking University's idealistic tradition was broken. Sprinkle some wildness on the snow in Yanyuan like a flash of light. "This is really a sacred place. Over the past decades, several generations of the best scholars in China have grown up here, with rich knowledge, brilliant intelligence, and solemn and fearless independent thinking. Combination of character integrity and brave fighting spirit." Mr. Xie Mian wrote this paragraph at the beginning of "The Charm of the Spirit", which became our guide to thinking and behavior in that era.Although it was not successful, at least we tried our best to be "brave and sharp".

As one of the initiators of the "90s", I kept my mouth shut for many years after I left Peking University.Its short existence is like a thorn stuck into a finger, and after being pulled out casually, everything will be fine.The large-scale demolition and construction of the Peking University campus has also continued to wear down my memories of the past: the old second teaching that had leaked everywhere but held countless academic lectures has become a new second teaching with advanced facilities but complex and huge like a maze; in front of the library The large lawn has shrunk by half, and few people sit on it and play the piano and clamor; and the triangular land, which has stirred up countless right and wrong, is finally regarded as a place of history after the old houses were demolished, the persimmon forest was cleared, and the centennial lecture hall was consecrated. The appendix was completely removed.

But occasionally walking into the student dormitory area of ​​Peking University, looking at the vaguely old gray brick buildings and those young faces passing by in a hurry, I can think of those "90s" who were red-eyed by blood, ideals and Erguotou back then. "Old friends, when you hear the sonorous melody of the acoustic guitar, you will also vaguely see me on a sunny noon sixteen years ago, riding a broken bicycle, passing by the corner of the campus, slipping out of the west school gate, Ride leisurely towards the country road leading to the Yuanmingyuan Artists Village... Zhu Jingjiang, graduated in 1991 from the Law Department of Peking University.Now an independent producer, with several translated books. Chapter 54: Peking University Drunk Soul Essay / Zhu Jingjiang Drunken Soul of Peking University (Zhu Jingjiang) "Drinking and singing wildly to spend the day, who is the hero of flying and domineering." Peking University has never been the "highest restaurant", just as Beijing has never dared to call itself the "food capital".Needless to say, the diet is rough, scholars are poor, and it is rare for students to spend some spare money to nourish their stomachs.Throughout the year, no matter how many times you go to restaurants, you can't escape the routine of "low price famous dishes".My friend Ang Mou, who knows how to drink but is shy, always serves "spicy tofu" and "shredded potatoes" with his meal.The owner takes it for granted, and often increases the amount of dishes to show his care.One day, brother Ang won hundreds of gold, so he invited fox friends to call dog friends, and sat down dignifiedly.Just waiting for Xiaoer to report the famous dishes of the shop in detail, the boss behind the counter has already served two large plates of shredded potatoes and tofu to the table without waiting for orders. In fact, the prevalence of wine in Peking University is far greater than appetite.Three or five friends climbed over the wall in the middle of the night, most of those who got out were having a night of drinking, and those who fell in must have been drunk.I heard that a certain senior came back drunk at midnight, and didn't know the way back, so he just lay down on the bank of the Weiming Lake.Yangliuan, Xiaofengwanyue, wake up in the morning confused, pick a wild flower and go to class.It is also rumored that a certain person is usually dull, but he can talk endlessly after drinking, and he speaks all English.The "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking" handed down by Du Fu and the folklore "Li Taibai's Drunken Grass Scaring the Barbarian Book" are combined to have the majestic style of this gentleman.The most wonderful thing is my friend Zhao Shi, who was kicked by his girlfriend and felt sad, so he invited Huo Shi, a Mongolian wine barrel, to relieve Du Kang's worries.The two of them are talking about each other, cup after cup.Since Huo's eyes were blurred, Zhao's still kept his mouth shut.Afterwards, the two went for a walk in Chengxing, circled the Weiming Lake more than 20 times, the Mongolian man's legs were sore and weak, but Mrs. Zhao didn't feel tired at all.Huo wanted to go back, but Zhao threatened to commit suicide by jumping into the lake.At about three o'clock in the middle of the night, Mrs. Huo finally took the road and fled, no longer caring about Mrs. Zhao's life or death.Mrs. Zhao didn't dive into the water, but Shi Shiran walked back by herself, and sneaked into the female teacher's dormitory by accident.Looking at the room, he began to knock on the head teacher's door.It is said that the female teacher was scared out of her wits, but since the door was not broken, the voice and appearance must have been fabricated by others.Mrs. Zhao suddenly realized that she had made a mistake, and turned her head leisurely. This time, she finally crawled straight back to her own bed. When she woke up, she was already a legend.This public case!! was widely spread, until later Zhao reunited with his girlfriend and converted to Christianity with the female class teacher. People still mentioned it from time to time.Zhu Zi lived in Peking University, and he did not dare to fall behind in the wine and meat industry. He bought a whole meat dog at a time, chopped it into large pieces, borrowed an electric stove, and bought fine wine, intending to share it with his friends.Unexpectedly, the power system on the 41st floor of Peking University was very poor. Before the boiler was turned on in the dormitory on the first floor, the fuses on the entire floor were blown.So I moved to the second floor to continue cooking, but there were a few more cheeky diners.We burned it until the fifth floor, and then barely stewed the pot of dog meat until half-cooked, but there are already a lot of wine and meat people waiting to share the joy of eating. Hey dog ​​meat and wine, how much?Not much!And the joy of life, how many can be compared with the Beijing University thugs who eat meat in large chunks and drink in big bowls? Not only students, but also gentlemen often have such rashness.My teacher Yuan Hongbing declared in class one day that if he had a box of baijiu, a bowl of hoofs and legs, and a set of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, he would not be able to get out of bed for thirty days.Whether the "Trinity College" of Cambridge University originated from this, he did not expressly say, but it is an indisputable fact that the wine quality of the evil department has been higher since then.In June 1993, Zhu Zi and another colleague, Liu Jun, made a big noise in the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the school because of gathering crowds.First, during the "May 4th" period, the posters covering the billboards were put up in the triangle, and the frontispiece of the big book "The Charm of the Spirit" was organized, and then a candlelight rock concert was organized all night. Qian Er was purged by the school, the society "Nineties" was disbanded, and the two main criminals were also in the punishment column for more than three months.So my husband invited us to drink in a restaurant outside Peking University.A group of ten people were all drunk, shirtless and bare chested, smashed bottles and bowls, and sang Mongolian wine songs. The boss was so scared that he almost wanted to call the police.From then on, every time Gao Jianli heard that Gao Jianli sent Jing Ke's assassin to Qin Qin with sung and sung songs in Yishui, he couldn't help feeling sad and recalled the drunk.Mr. Yuan's ultimate ideal is "Those who are in late spring, spring clothes are ready, five or six people who are crowned, six or seven boys, drink Erguotou, eat pig's trotters, get drunk in front of Mr. Liang Qichao's tomb, and return home after singing." I have always yearned for this state, It's a pity that Mr. Hu was not allowed to be in power later, and he lived in Yelang. I don't know when the swan song of this restaurant will be realized. Mr. Zhou Wangsheng, another famous teacher in my family, is usually gentle and elegant, and he is also a gentleman.However, once I had a New Year's banquet with students in the dormitory, Yixing flourished. During the dinner, I said with emotion: "On the day you graduate, I invite you to drink Moutai. A bowl of wine, a bowl of meat, and a bowl of dry rice!" Everyone shouted yes , scrambling to pour Erguotou on Mr. Zhou, and turned him on the table after a while, only then remembered that no one knew Mr. Zhou's address.So I had to carry him on my back, walked around in the student dormitory, and finally put him on Zhu Zi's bed.Then I stayed up all night, sitting on the sidelines, listening to my husband complaining about China's legislation in his drunken dreams from time to time.Mr. Zhou has always been very kind to me. He not only gave me his big chopsticks to sign, but also made a fuss about his being purged.Although I failed to fulfill my husband's wish to become his graduate student, after years of leaving school, I still can't forget the first morning of a certain New Year when I helped him go home. I often miss the drunken days at Peking University.It seems that after leaving, not only has he never been drunk again, even his interest in drinking is getting worse day by day.Occasionally, friends came to gather, but found that each of them was either fatty liver or gastroenteritis. No one dared to drink and sing like they did when they were studying at Peking University, and they were defiant.The days go by in the mediocre years, Peking University is vaguely still there, but we are vaguely not anymore. Chapter 55: Notes on Skipping Classes / Mengmu (1) Skipping Class (Mengmu) Because I had to accept a year of military training, undergraduate plus postgraduate, I was at the same age as the Anti-Japanese War in Peking University. If you ask who has influenced me the most in studying, the answer seems a bit strange-Wang Zengqi. Wang Zengqi said that he didn't know whether he was a Peking University student or not.He studied at Southwest Associated University, and Tsinghua also considered him a Tsinghua native. In 1992, it looked like this in September. In a small room on the second floor of the May Fourth Sports Center, there were not many people, and it was only a small-scale discussion of the Chinese Department.Professor Sun Yushi, who was the head of the department at the time, presided over the meeting.Old man Wang raised his big head with big eyes, like the jujube tree in front of Lu Xun's gate, pointing straight at the sky, as if there was a hole in the roof leading to a more colorful world.The eyes of such an old man are still clear, so that there is no irrelevant person among them.He occasionally coughed twice, and it took him a long time to say a word-- "People ask me how to become a writer?" Keke (dry cough). "I think, the first thing to do is to skip class. To skip class." The audience is quiet. "Ahem, skipping class." Director Sun looked closely at old man Wang, and there was nothing he could do, because old man Wang's eyes had been pointing straight at the sky beyond the roof, and there was no irrelevant person among them. "Mr. Zhu Ziqing was not happy when he recommended me to stay in school, because I always skipped classes." "Ahem." Silence. "Second, read what you want to read, and don't read what you don't want to read. Leo Tolstoy is great, but if I don't like it, I don't read it. My favorite author is my teacher first. Shen Congwen, and Chekhov and Asolin. I read it over and over." Director Sun frowned, looking at old man Wang, he had no choice but to let him continue talking.The audience is quiet. I don't know whether Teacher Sun Yushi regrets that discussion or not.Since then, our classmates skipping classes seems to have become a common occurrence.Professor Wang Hongjun, the linguistics teacher in our class, has a very good reputation. This is not because everyone is impressed by her demeanor or knowledge, but because she announced in the first class: "According to school regulations, roll call is required. But I never take the roll call.” I listened to the linguistics class about three or four times, but I didn’t think it was very interesting, and then I just skipped the class with a sense of peace of mind.At that time, we didn't see anyone in class for three to five weeks, so it was no big deal.But I need to be more popular with myself.Because there are a lot of people, even if there is a roll call, it is usually a random selection.We answer each other in a row for others, which seems to be the due meaning among classmates. I remember one time when it was raining in teacher Lu Naiyan's class, there were usually very few people attending his class, but this time it became even rarer.I have a little experience of skipping classes. When there are many people, the roll call is usually not done, but when there are few people, the roll call is indeed frequent.So this time I was smart enough to attend a lecture for Yingmao, probably the second lecture, which is really rare.Mr. Lu bowed his head to roll the roll, counted more than ten people, and almost none of them missed the class. He said: "This is not right, the people who answered should stand up." .When a good classmate of mine was called by name, I answered it earlier because I was in a higher ranking. I thought he didn’t look up at me at all, so this time I stood up and answered for my friend.After the roll call, Teacher Lu said: "There should be no one in front, I will call again." So my name was heard in the classroom again, I hesitated, then stood up again confidently, Teacher Lu looked at me for a long time : "Are you Gao Lizhi?" "Yes." My innocence and Mr. Lu's confused expression made some people laugh. "You are not Gao Lizhi." So my name was ticked off.I usually don't attend classes, but fortunately, I rarely skip classes. This time I really came to attend classes, but I actually skipped classes.Since then, I have never listened to Mr. Lu's class.And as a result, my test scores seemed to pass.
