Chapter 64 Remarks: Letters (Zhang Dasheng)

Recently, I read a certain gentleman's miscellaneous sentiments criticizing Fudan University in your journal [4]. I think there are many inaccuracies, and the motive of certain gentleman's composition is too impure; so I am writing this letter to Mr. Fudan as a student. Gentlemen, please treat it with a fair and just view; publish him at the end of the volume with a third-party attitude (that is, not an attitude of protecting a certain king). Fudan University has more than a thousand students, and it is like a small society, in which the complexity of parties and differences of opinion are naturally unavoidable.At present, there is an undercurrent brewing, and there is a potential for it to explode.However, according to the methods inherited from our ancestors, we do not beat the drums of the enemy, nor reveal the banner of righteousness, but happily use conspiracy methods to exclude dissidents.The article submitted to your journal this time is a manifestation of this method. (There is now evidence.) Therefore, after the publication of the article, students who opposed a certain subject showed it to the principal, saying that the school was so bad that it was all broken by a certain subject. We should find a way, and the principal had no choice but to do so.A certain gentleman just said a few more witty words in this article, but he didn't know that he had already planted bad results.On the one hand, I also use the space of your journal as a tool for my own criticism, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.At present, the editors of the magazine seem to be too busy, and they can't get the manuscripts of celebrities for a while.As soon as I saw a manuscript with a few words of resistance, I threw myself into the ground and hurriedly published it.A common problem is that only those who can point out other people's shortcomings are good articles, and if they are praised, they are not good, because a praise article is like "flattering", which is a bit unreasonable, and there is also the fear of being taken advantage of by the contributors.Who knows that the current contributors are already very smart.They knew the psychology of magazine editors and magazine readers, so they changed their tactics and used editors to attack other people's writing with fabricated facts.What is the content of Fudan, I am inconvenient to identify it at this time, otherwise there will be great suspicion, and it should be criticized by the majority of the society.In a certain gentleman's article, he said that all universities in Shanghai are bad; he also said that Fudan can be improved through this.It can be seen that a certain gentleman had already made a lot of achievements before entering the university, so he was arrogant and scolded all universities in general.If a certain gentleman wants to promote the progress of the school, I think it is better to discuss the problems with the teachers in class, and the teachers have no answer to the questions, so ask him to go away; if he proposes to the school someone who he thinks has teachers, how dare the school refuse From, wouldn't it more directly promote the improvement of the school?Even if the school's facilities are not adequate, since a certain gentleman is a member of the school, he also has the right to suggest to the school authorities to increase the facilities. Why doesn't such a gentleman promote the reform of the school from these places?Moreover, all the administration of Fudan University (such as hiring professors and equipment, etc.) is all discussed by the directors of the school, the principal and student representatives, and cannot be controlled by one or two people. There is a great opportunity to promote school reform. But they didn't bother to do it, and instead wrote articles to criticize it. I think this kind of attitude is very bad.

This letter is too long to write, but as a student of Fudan University, I have to write this letter. I hope that the attitude of a certain gentleman can be changed.Besides, I published this letter with my real name, and I take full responsibility. If a certain gentleman has a reply, please also write the real name. This has no purpose, it is nothing more than to make the certain gentleman show that he is responsible. I wish the gentlemen well!
