Chapter 36 The fighter who can endure loneliness (1)

I will show you a document.What literature? An interesting record that you may not see.First of all, let's take a look at the picture, it is a cover of Beijing's "Everybody" publication when it was 100 years old.This is the cover of the publication "Everybody" in Beijing, this is a pillar of Huabiao, and this is these young and lovely graduates of Peking University. Do you know that my father graduated from Peking University?However, it was very early, very early, in 1926, when I graduated from Peking University.He entered Peking University in 1920 and graduated in 1926.Why did I study for six years?Because the first two years are called preparatory courses, and the preparatory courses are to strengthen your language training. Therefore, at that time, you studied at Peking University for six years.

I will show you a document from when my father was at Peking University.Let's take a look at the photos of my father at that time.Look, Li Dingyi, courtesy name Jiheng, 28 years old, Fuyu County, Jilin.This is my father.Let's see again, there is a person in his class, you may be interested, his name is Wang Zhaomin, style name Molin, 28 years old, Longdong County, Heilongjiang.Wang Zhaomin, everyone pay attention to him, he has a famous granddaughter, Faye Wong, and Faye Wong is his granddaughter. Let's read some interesting materials. At that time, there was a lecturer in the Department of Economics named Ma Yinchu, who later became the president of Peking University. I told everyone that I admired him very much.We thought that there was no freedom under the rule of the Communist Party. We were wrong. Ma Yinchu was freedom, because he dared to speak, and he would say: Mao Zedong, you are wrong. You are wrong in thinking that having more people is easier to do things. It will create a lot of population problems in China. .Of course, he was suppressed, and big-character posters were pasted from the president's office of Peking University all the way to his bedroom, but he was a hero and he did not give in.

Let's look again, Li Dazhao, a professor in the Department of History, is the founder of the Communist Party of China. He and Chen Duxiu were both founders. Later, they were hanged on the gallows in Beijing.He is not only a professor in the Department of History, he is also the director of Peking University Library.When he was the director of the library, he met an assistant named Mao Zedong. Okay, let’s continue reading, this one is familiar to everyone—my father’s teacher, Xu Zhimo, a professor of the Department of English.Look again, this is Hu Shi. Note that he was in the Department of English at that time.Later, Hu Shi heard that my father was from Peking University in Taiwan, and asked which class my father was in.I told him about it, but he didn't remember it because my dad wasn't very good in college.Let's look again, here, this is Zhou Zuoren, a professor of Chinese Literature, who is Lu Xun's younger brother.Why is there no Lu Xun in this book?Because at that time Lu Xun taught my father, but later he went to the south, and Chen Duxiu was like this.At this time, we saw Cai Yuanpei, the president of the famous Peking University.

What are you Li Ao doing with this book?Let me tell you, there were only two hundred graduates from Peking University (at that time). How many graduates from Peking University now?At that time, in their era, there was only one middle school student among four thousand illiterates. I would like to ask: How many middle school students would have the qualifications, opportunities, luck, and ability to enter the Peking University, Peking University?That's easier said than done! They can enter Peking University, they are the proud sons of heaven.Some people can’t get in, so what do they do if they can’t get in?Be a librarian, like Mao Zedong.This is the list of Peking University faculty and staff at that time. How much money does Mao Zedong make every month?Mao Zedong worked in front of this small desk as the administrator of the Peking University library.This tells us what a rare opportunity to become a student of Peking University at that time.

The key figure here is Cai Yuanpei.Cai Yuanpei was the Imperial Academy of the Qing Dynasty.What does Hanlin mean?That is, after you pass the imperial examination, you will naturally be able to be an official, and you can be sent out to be the magistrate of the county.So when the Jingshi University was established, there was such a joke that some people would rather be students than teachers.What is the reason?Because being a student is tantamount to becoming a foreign Hanlin in the future, which is the same as the Hanlin, but being a teacher will not have this opportunity.The most remarkable thing about Cai Yuanpei is that he was born in the Imperial Academy of the Qing Dynasty, but he was a revolutionary party. He could not understand this government, came out to revolution and played bombs, so he was a revolutionary party.

Later, when the Communist Party was established in 1921, ten years after the founding of the Republic of China, they were the second batch of revolutionaries to carry out revolution.In the circle of the Communist Party, we saw Dong Biwu.Dong Biwu is amazing. He participated in two stages of revolution. He participated in the first (stage) against the Qing Dynasty, and he also participated in the Communist revolution.Therefore, we have seen that this is not an easy phenomenon. Cai Yuanpei was the first wave of the revolutionary party. In the first year of the Republic of China, he was the Minister of Education (that is, the Minister of Education). When my father was at Peking University, he was the principal.Today we scold the Beiyang warlords, you can see how great the Beiyang warlords are.How amazing?For such a large university, the first university in the country, who will be the president? Let a Kuomintang be the president, and he is the Kuomintang.That kind of Kuomintang is certainly not a bad Kuomintang like Taiwan.He is the Kuomintang, and the Beiyang warlords have this measure. They gave the number one university under his rule to a Kuomintang as the principal.If you think about it, we scold warlords every day. Which warlord or which party has this measure?Cai Yuanpei was like this at that time.But what is remarkable about him is that he takes the helm as a scholar, and under the rule of the Beiyang warlords, he stands on the front line to show the demeanor of an intellectual.
