Chapter 61: Integrating into My College Literature / Wu Fuhui (1) Integrate into my university (Wu Fuhui) Snippets of life at Peking University in the late 1970s and early 1980s One day in October in the golden autumn of 1978, I got on a car sent by Peking University to pick up freshmen at Beijing Railway Station.The moment I drove into Chang'an Avenue, my heart was seldom soaring.I remember that I secretly made a wish at that time: I must be worthy of the past three years and study hard for the past three years.But living in the 29th floor of the school, I was dumbfounded as soon as I came into contact with the graduate students of the same class.Because their determination can make me feel ashamed, and some people's slogan is: no TV and movies for three years!This thirst-like feeling for knowledge still seems to stick to my body now, unforgettable.

This is actually not a characteristic of Peking University, but a characteristic of all schools in China in 1977 and 1978.Because it has been more than ten years that the people of the whole country have not read or only read "Selected Works of Mao Zedong".Wangfujing Xinhua Bookstore, as long as it is reported that there will be a reprint of a nineteenth-century literary masterpiece tomorrow morning, there will be a long queue at the door before dawn.This is the first batch of students who are mainly regardless of "political status" to enter the school after the resumption of the college entrance examination. The undergraduates of the 77th and 78th classes (I knew there were Chen Jiangong, Huang Beijia, and Huang Ziping at the time), plus the graduate students of the 78th class, there are many Years of talent accumulation, gathered in one place.I asked my classmates later, and most of them were people who could not "go to graduate school" in the past based on the so-called family background.So everyone has a sense of liberation and a long-suppressed impulse to learn.I can still find a self-made work and rest schedule, which is to get up at 5:30 in the morning, go for a run in Weiming Lake, and read foreign languages; Library; go to bed at 12 o'clock in the evening.This happened almost every day for three years, going round and round, surrounding a tower (collapsed) lake (muddled) map (painted).

But Peking University has its special features after all.The unique perception of Peking University as Peking University begins with the entrance examination.It was originally an "emergency" to announce the recruitment of graduate students.I decided to apply for the graduate students of Mr. Wang Yao and Yan Jiayan after I saw the news on March 30 of this year that the age limit for postgraduate entrance examinations was relaxed to 40 years old. On the 15th, 16th, and 17th, I went to the examination room of the District Education Bureau to take the exam.Where is there any review?I believe that everyone is equal in front of this "time".However, the direction of modern Chinese literature needs to add a volume of archaeological and ancient literature, and it needs to prepare one more subject than other schools, which is the only one in the country.I gasped when the ancient exam questions were drawn out in the examination room. Just two questions for A, five questions for B, and ten questions for C, you can appreciate the breadth of it.On the day of the modern literature test, when I read the questions, I stayed there for more than ten minutes without writing!Thirty years later, looking back at Peking University's topic today, it is still thrilling.For example, the first question asks: Lu Xun once said something about his own works with different characteristics (the question does not tell what he said), please click here to give examples of works, and talk about the ideological, How is it different artistically?It seems not difficult, but in fact, don’t say that you must not get stuck in Lu Xun’s words. Even if you can’t accurately put Lu Xun’s novels into the sequence of these two collections, once they get confused, it’s over.So I first carefully restored the contents one by one on the straw paper, and then answered the questions.There is another question that also quotes Lu Xun’s words. I finally told you that Lu Xun said during the May 4th period that “the success of essays and sketches was almost higher than that of novels, operas and poems.” The reason why the achievement of May Fourth prose is higher or lower than that of May Fourth novels, dramas, and poems (according to my understanding, we must also grasp the measure of the word "almost" in Lu Xun's use of words ).God, this is not one of the four questions. It is almost to grasp the basic context of the literary history of the May Fourth Dynasty.Later, I participated in the re-examination held in the library of Peking University. The written examination questions were the same as this one, but the style was deeper and broader.For example, the first question is: In the 1920s and 1930s, there were some popular opinions about the nature of the May Fourth Literary Revolution. Try to proceed from the reality of new literature and discuss the guidance of Mao Zedong’s "On New Democracy" to the study of modern Chinese literary history. significance.This depends on whether you have your own views on academic issues of the nature of literary history. I didn't say what the "popular opinion" is. It is to test whether you are familiar with the existing research results and materials.If Lu Xun talked about it earlier, everyone has seen and heard it. If you don’t know this, you really don’t know it.Finally, you must be familiar with "On New Democracy" and be able to align the reality of new literature with Mao Zedong's theory.At that time, "emancipating the mind" had not yet reached the later level, so it was impossible to make antithesis on this topic like the May Fourth prose, but those "popular views" were actually those of Hu Shi, Qu Qiubai, and Hu Feng. Unlike Mao Zedong, they were inspiring The original face of your thinking about history is not unified from the beginning.As for the ten conceptual sub-topics, it turned out to be ten foreign writers from Nietzsche to Heinke Weizhi. They should respectively explain the nationality of these writers, at least one kind of work, the approximate period when they were introduced to China, and which Chinese writers or literary societies they influenced .A small question worth one point and at most two points has to answer such a rich content that modern literature receives the influence of world literature.The breadth and depth of Peking University can be seen.No wonder the six of our admitted students came to the school and compared their grades with each other. The paper revealed that Qian Liqun, the national "champion scholar" of graduate students in liberal arts, had only a score of more than 70 in his major.I'm only sixty.The teacher who participated in judging the papers of more than 600 candidates told us that there was not a single paper with a score of 50 or above on the first day.The respondent of this scroll is the current Shen Congwen expert Ling Yu.

Chapter 62: Integrating into My College Literature / Wu Fuhui (2) When I entered the school, I had a better understanding of Peking University's academic atmosphere.I remember the first time I met with my tutor, Mr. Wang Yao instructed to make a study plan, and then warned to pay attention to reading the original newspapers and magazines, one can understand the environment and atmosphere of the author's works, and two can understand the original version of the original publication (later versions have After the modification), enter the real situation of the writer's original writing.To cause "professional sensitivity".When reading, you should broaden your mind, feel that there are many topics in your mind, and feel that you don’t have enough time, then you will have hope.It would be bad if someone else always had to ask questions.This conversation gave me an impression I had never heard before.Our study is mainly in the library, as for listening to lectures and speeches inside and outside the school, it is still secondary.Teacher Yan Jiayan's list of books, including booklets of works, newspapers, and theories, has more than a few hundred, which is impressive.But it is not strictly required to read a book.It is often supplemented by "special lectures and discussions" that teachers and students participate in together.The method is that one person prepares, tells, and then teachers and students discuss freely to train the method of research problems.You also need to prepare for the subject assessment at the end of the first year. There will be a written test and an oral test. Outside experts will be invited to give you an appraisal.This is more difficult than the thesis defense in the third year.These practices are far from being comprehensive, but recalling the sayings and practices that gradually became popular in the academic circle more than ten years later, Peking University is indeed the first.Mr. Wang Yao is known for his strictness, and when he criticizes students, every word and every word hits your heart, without leaving any ambiguity.But when talking about topics of interest in private, he would suddenly burst out witty remarks with a strong Shanxi accent, which was ten times more vivid than his thesis.And before you could react to a word, he laughed by himself first.The laugh is also highly contagious.I can still remember my husband's conversation, such as talking about professional "sensitivity", saying that it is like knitting a sweater. Those who don't know how to knit focus on whether it looks good or not. Come.When it comes to the accumulation of materials, academic dynamics must also be accumulated. The analogy is that the backstage is not rich (it might as well be messy), and the front stage performances are not much better.He also advised us not to underestimate ourselves, saying that although the knowledge of doing is history, don't think that future generations and outsiders cannot study it.History is often studied by those who have not participated in it.Because the experience and feelings of the parties involved are too rich, if they are not handled well, they will be confused, etc., etc.This is how this school quickly pushes you to the academic frontier and boosts your intellectual confidence.For a person, the knowledge he really acquires in college is limited, but the self-confidence in learning will benefit him for life.Listening to these words of your husband, you will suddenly have an academic spirit and a human spirit.

What is Peking University Style?I think a large number of old gentlemen in the department, our teachers, and their moral articles are the concrete character of Peking University.Otherwise, this Weiming Lake campus was originally the location of Yenching University, so why would it have gained the popularity and style of the Red House on the Beach? Blessed were we who entered the school in 1978.Although we are no longer fortunate to hear the voices of so many seniors like the seniors in the 1940s and 1950s, some of these "national treasures" are still alive, and we are the last batch of students who heard their teachings.When we entered the school, Mr. Yang Hui, the playwright of Shen Zhongshe and the pioneer of the May 4th burning of Zhaojialou, was still the head of the Chinese Department. When we graduated, the head of the department was Mr. Ji Zhenhuai, a classmate of Mr. Wang Yao.Graduation photos, and gentlemen Yang Hui, Wang Li, Zhu Dexi, Zhou Zumo, and Lin Geng came to sit upright.Mr. Wu Zuxiang went to the Academy of Social Sciences to give a lecture that day, but he did not take a photo with us, which is a lifelong regret for the students.Mr. Wu has a high reputation in the department. He is not only our favorite novelist in the 1930s, but also a famous scholar, researcher, and expert.He is also known for being strict.It is rumored in the department that he and Mr. Wang Yao discussed the word count of the dissertation. Mr. Wu said that he only needs to write 10,000 words. Who will read if he writes too much?One of his famous sayings is: There is nothing new to say that Wu Zuxiang is a human being, although it is correct; it may be wrong to say that Wu Zuxiang is a driver, but it can cause discussions, and finally he comes to the conclusion that Wu Zuxiang is an intellectual who has not been reformed.It's a pity that many of our papers are based on the "Wu Zuxiang is a human being" model criticized by Mr. Wang.I still regret that when Mr. Yue Daiyun joined the team of teachers who tutored us, she once asked us who would like to study Mr. Wu's novels.But I was afraid of being hit by him, so I dared not sign up.Until one time when I heard him lecture on the history of novels, the lecture hall was full of pits and valleys, and the grand occasion was unprecedented. The senior staff of the department feared that the students in the school would not be able to grab their seats, so they came out and asked to restrict the audience. There has never been a history of refusing to listen to students, and we can’t do it today! This is the school spirit of Peking University, the tradition of Peking University!” I later recalled the scene in the essay "A Strong and Independent Old Tree", saying: I felt a fever in my heart. Suddenly, I felt that Mr. Wu's "iron face" melted in front of his eyes.After all these years, the history of novels taught by Mr. has been forgotten, but these few words have become more and more vivid with the passage of time.I think it was that day that I entered Peking University!

Chapter 63: Integrating into My College Literature / Wu Fuhui (3) Other old gentlemen who lead us to know Peking University include Lin Geng.Mr. Lin's lectures are the most elegant, with profound views, and emotional reciting, and even the calligraphy on the blackboard can be said to have reached the state of perfection.Mr. Lin's residence is just north of our 29th floor. Every day when he goes to the library and walks through Yannan Garden, Lin's house is a must pass.Sometimes when we passed by, we suddenly heard a high-pitched, desolate voice coming out of the window. We stood intently, not daring to be disturbed, and the classmates exchanged glances: this is Mr. singing.The notable old professor in the Chinese Department is Zhu Guangqian.Mr. Zhu runs on the road near Yannan Garden every day.He is thin and small, with one leg trailing behind when he runs, which is quite strenuous.We have seen such an old man running for a long time, but we don't take it seriously. He is too ordinary and simple.It was not until Mr. Yue Daiyun pointed us out that it was Mr. Zhu, the author of "History of Western Aesthetics" and the Department of Philosophy.I have even more unexpected encounters.Because the showers in the school are too crowded, I can’t wait to have five or six heads waiting under one shower head, so I sometimes go to the bathhouse in Haidian Town.In this way, once I met Mr. Zhu in the most virginal way.At that time, my husband was already an octogenarian, and he was not accompanied by his family. He just came to the public bath without making a sound.Of course he doesn't know me.In this way, I silently enjoyed the happiness of soaking in a pool of spring water with my husband.Later I heard that his overseas students were aggrieved by the fact that Mr. Zhu was still in his 80s and squeezed the bus to attend the CPPCC.Every time I think, they haven't seen how Mr. cleans himself in the slippery bath.Regardless of whether it should be or not, I realized that gold does not need to shine like glass.I have seen with my own eyes that the more educated the scholar, the more plain and unpretentious a landscape is.

My entry into Peking University was purely "high climbing".My classmates all have undergraduate degrees from prestigious universities, two from Peking University, two from Renmin University (one from Peking University’s Journalism Department, one from Renmin University’s Journalism Department), and one from East China Normal University. Only I have never been to a formal university.That year, the Department of Chinese accepted two special students, one graduated from an engineering school in ancient literature, and I was in modern literature.I am older.There are four people in Room 202 of the dormitory, two born in 1939 in the year of rabbit, and two born in 1945 in the year of chicken. Everyone joked about it as "chicken and rabbit in the same cage".Later, someone classified the more than 30 graduate students of this year's Chinese Department into groups and gave them nicknames. The group I joined was actually called the "Four Elders".The instructor called other students (an overseas student was added later) and they all called them by their first names, such as Zhao Yuan, such as Wen Rumin. Only two of them enjoyed special treatment called Lao Qian and Lao Wu.I didn't adapt to Peking University at first, because of my personality, because I have received too much education in "taming tools" for many years.It was the first time that my tutor arranged to write a paper commemorating the 60th anniversary of the "May 4th Movement". Mr. Wang only gave me one sentence, "You just read the "Novel Monthly" a little bit carefully."I know that my thoughts on "fiction criticism in the early days of the May Fourth Movement" are too mediocre.The students all came to "send warmth".Wen Rumin, who was doing research on Yu Dafu, told me that the topic of literary criticism is very good, don't be discouraged and continue to do it.So later I changed to left-wing and Beijing-style satire and won a prize. When I published my first collection "Laughing in Shackles", I still included this article as a commemoration.Qian Liqun's research spirit has become the goal of my secret efforts.He has solid basic skills and mature thinking. Lu Xun's research has been written into a book, but he is dissatisfied and seems to have to write it from scratch.He will use his time, and there are rules for when and what books he reads.Before taking a nap or going to bed at night, when I tilted my head, I saw him on the opposite bed browsing through the newly bought magazines, reading quickly, ten lines at a glance, and later found that he had read them all.He doesn't rely on his talent, but he is still diligent, and he works harder than anyone else.In order to prepare for the first-year subject summative exam, he and we played games by asking each other questions in the dormitory. For example, when was the first publication of Xinchao?Who is the name of the hero and heroine?etc.Most of my book collection was burned during the "Cultural Revolution". Now that I live on 30 yuan a month, it is very difficult to spend 10 yuan to buy books.I made it according to Lao Qian's book purchase plan minus photocopies of periodicals and foreign literary works.What kind of books came to Haidian Bookstore, and someone in the corridor rushed to act as soon as they yelled, often getting to the point where they were desperate and stretched, and they took pleasure in it.Zhao Yuan is not agitated by others at will, she has her own ideas when buying and reading books.At first, when I tried my best to catch up on modern works, she reread Lu Xun carefully and reassuredly.Her talent is obvious. I secretly learned from her how to focus on feeling the works and the agility of her writing, which is the most rewarding experience.Ling Yu is from Xiangxi, and has lovely ethnic minority blood.He is strong and stubborn, just to make up for my shortcomings.We listened to him talk about Shen Congwen every day afterwards, and he talked about Shen Congwen endlessly.Among all the students, he is not widely knowledgeable, but he can memorize by force, and he is good at reciting poems and essays.Our group was the first to write manuscripts for "October", and it was he who contacted us.Chen Shan was a talented scholar who diligently studied poetry and spared no effort in collecting materials. Now he is the only one who is engaged in film history.In short, the material life at Peking University was poor at that time, but everyone took it for granted, didn't feel it, and didn't have the time to feel it.I gradually immersed myself in these talented classmates of mine and absorbed the nutrition my university gave me.Outside of studies, there is not much direct political life (although the society is in an era of earth-shaking), and the people who are close to the college students are the people's representatives of the electoral district. The program was really lively for a while.I also went to the countryside once to participate in the summer harvest. It seems that Xie Mian, Fei Zhengang, Qiu Xigui and other teachers have all gone, and some of them were lecturers at the time.We don’t have many recreational activities. Students of the Chinese Department naturally go to the movies, or take a stool to watch an open-air movie on the playground. The beginning of Li Guyi's popularity.To watch the women's volleyball game, you need to put the stools in the only small TV room in the graduate school building early, so that the science students who want to watch but dare not watch are envious.When football beat Kuwait and the men's volleyball team won first place in the Asian Division, carnival activities spontaneously formed on campus, and mats, mats, and brooms were all used as torches.The long-term weakness of the country and the nation is transformed into an explosion of passion.My older classmates and I mixed among the young students, and we also felt a similar "May 4th" heat.

Chapter 64: Integrating into My College Literature / Wu Fuhui (4) Mr. Wang Yao has a lot of witty words in his study.One time, somehow talking about a person’s relationship with his alma mater, he put down his famous pipe and said calmly: If the graduates are more famous than the school, the school will accumulate your reputation and become a famous school; It will be sent to you (to the effect).I don't know whether the teacher intends to encourage us to ask questions, and I don't know what other students in the audience think.I realized that day: I will always be soaked in the light and warmth of my alma mater.

Written on November 12, 2007 in Xiaoshiju, Beijing Wu Fuhui, born in 1939, is from Zhenhai, Zhejiang. He graduated from Liaoning Anshan Normal School in 1959, and graduated with a master's degree in modern literature from the Chinese Department of Peking University in 1981.He is currently the editor-in-chief of "Chinese Modern Literature Research Series" and a researcher at the Chinese Modern Literature Museum.He is the author of "Thirty Years of Modern Chinese Literature" (co-authored), "Shanghai Style Novels in the Urban Swirl", etc. Chapter 65: Weiming Lake is an Ocean / Xu Qiuhan (1)

my way "Do you know the land of Peking University under your feet?" If you are unfamiliar with the people and things that have happened here, the spirit, tradition, and cognition of this land, and even feel alienated emotionally and psychologically, Then, you only have a student status at Peking University, and you will not feel like a "Peking University person", and of course you cannot be called an "eternal Peking University person". Weiming Lake is an Ocean III (Xu Qiuhan) Weiming Lake is an ocean, Poets hide under water. Souls are a fish, It can also jump from the water.

"Old man, your song has been used as a blog name by Kong Qingdong." Although I hang on msn every day when I go to work, I seldom have time to roam the Internet.Compared with the days when I worked in an Internet company at the beginning of this century, I am now like a bandit after washing my hands (because I can't yet be rated as a "big thief").I commute between home and work every day, and I haven’t returned to Peking University for a long time. The feeling in this state is somewhat similar.But every few days, there is always some information related to Peking University.This time, it was my younger sister who worked in the same unit who reported to me during lunch that Brother Kong's blog had a new connection with my old songs.In this way, Peking University is like a fish hidden in the water, stirring up some ripples in the pond where I live from time to time. No matter how far away, I know that my pond and Weiming Lake are always connected. Putting a long line to hang a big fish -- starting from the tombstone of the giant whale The waves caused by Weiming Lake appear more in daily chats and after-dinner thoughts.For example, the leader of my unit is a scientist who often criticizes today's social and humanities scholars for being unreliable.The boss is right: there are indeed no decent fish to be seen on the surface of the rivers and lakes.However, just because of the origin of Peking University, I know that the boss's mind is not without the management of the world and the big fish and giant whales, but he can only hide in the bottom of the water.For example, our old principal Ma Yinchu, if the "new population theory" he put forward 50 years ago is accepted, our housing problems, employment problems, research priorities of many disciplines, and even China's basic national policies will look different today.It's a pity that the far-sighted Kun of the Northern Darkness was thrown into hell just after he ventured up against the current, let alone Huapeng spread his wings.Today, outside of Peking University, how many people can remember this master who could have brought real happiness to the Chinese people?Therefore, only shrimps and crabs raised in Weiming Lake like me will describe the tombstones of giant whales that are about to fade to the influential people on the water in the metaphysical chat after dinner. The key issue in China is natural science or social humanities. Except for the Weiming Lake, there is only a chance to discuss it when Chinese and science are divided into high school classes.Of course, high school students and their parents still discuss their future livelihood more at this time.It was the same way back when I started thinking about this question.My parents are aerospace researchers, so I never want to be a scientist, because their lives are too poor and unhappy.At that time, I saw the students of Peking University in front of the Monument to the People's Heroes. They were discussing issues that I thought only "great men" would discuss, including how scientists and other 360-line people got just return.Although they were dressed differently, their posture and expressions were so similar to the reliefs behind them telling the glorious past 80 years ago.So, I know how to choose. The Poet of "Taking Dreams as Horses"--The Underworld of Aliens Just like the later RPG games, I can only open the map of Peking University after passing the college entrance examination and then the military training.Walking around Boya Pagoda in Weiming Lake, where can I find the legendary "Secrets of Governance"?Perhaps this season, the May Fourth youths are all stealthy; perhaps the May Fourth youths are no longer included in the 90s version of the game settings.In my innings of college career, the role of "poet" was assigned to take the lead. After more than ten years of primary and secondary education, the impression of poets in my mind is illusory: it seems that only the past that cannot be touched is beautiful, such as ancient figures like Li Bai and Su Shi who are similar to gods.Since the poet began to speak vernacular, even if the text requires memorization, it is difficult for me to remember after the exam.However, when I came to Peking University, I suddenly found that many poets appeared around me overnight, but their images were quite different from the fairy tales in my mind: most of them were mixed with the crowd and were difficult to identify, and some strange and unkempt people appeared occasionally. Eyes and ears, even among friends in distress in the military academy, there are many who take off their military uniforms and transform into neurotic and sentimental poets. This is so interesting, it's like jumping into the future world and suddenly discovering that there are many aliens wearing human skins that look like real ones.At their triad hall, a dozen or hundreds of people recited "Take Dreams as Horses" and "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms Bloom" in unison. --Well, it must be poetry.Because I can remember these sentences without memorizing them specially, and silent reading and chanting will also cause endocrine changes.So I opened Haizi's collection of poems: the photos printed on the cover page are just like these unattractive poet classmates with glasses around me. In the spring of the year when I decided to choose Peking University, this Peking University brother chose to lie on the rails in Shanhaiguan.Every spring until now, some well-known or unknown people from various colleges and universities and all over the country will gather at Weiming Lake and use "Dreams as Horses" as a secret sign to commemorate Haizi and the halo of the passing away of poetry.
