Chapter 51 In the third quarter, the remaining rivers and mountains are tired of traveling

Chen Yinke did not die, but was trapped in the residence and could not move, and he and his family suffered the disaster of the war together.In the chaos of the entire Hong Kong Island, the out-of-control guns and gunpowder smoke, he needs to try to find a way to escape as soon as possible.But at this time, between Hong Kong and mainland China, whether it is land, sea or air, the Holy Trinity, all transportation, letters, telexes, bills of exchange, etc. are all cut off.All the grain stored in the Hong Kong warehouse was sealed up by the Japanese army for military supplies.What followed was the closure of schools, the closure of shops, food shortages everywhere, garbage scattered all over the streets and alleys, and tired old newspapers fluttering and fluttering in the cold wind.The prosperity of Hong Kong Island in the past seems to have completely collapsed overnight, and it was instantly shrouded in depression and dilapidation. The whole Hong Kong has become an isolated city like a tomb.In this chaotic crisis, it is almost impossible to escape from the isolated island in a short time.The helpless Chen Yinke family, young and old, only accompanied by this isolated city and the almost desperate crowd in the isolated city, began to groan in pain under the iron heels of the Japanese army.Jiang Tianshu, a disciple of the Chen family, later wrote in a note describing this "event series": "If Japan hadn't provoked the Pacific War, (Chen Yinke)'s move to England might have finally come to fruition. When you left Peking, the retina of your right eye was already damaged. If you discover the peeling phenomenon, if you get it in England, your eye disease will be cured and recovered, and you won’t end up blind.” At this point in writing, Jiang sighed and said: “Heaven, what a misfortune?”

Chen Yinke, who was trapped in Hong Kong Island, suffered the double misfortune of destiny and fate.Due to the closure of the school and the blockade of the grain depot, the source of money and food has been cut off, and only a little food is kept to maintain the life of the family.Mrs. Chen sat trapped at home, terrified all day long.In order to save food rations, Tang Yuan began to forcibly control his family's food intake. The sweet potato roots and skins were eaten by the children, and they felt very delicious.Suddenly one day, the Japanese army wanted to requisition the rented building of Chen Yinke's house as a barracks, and ordered all the residents to move out within a time limit.However, the traffic on the street was closed, and the Japanese army erected barbed wire fences at the intersections, shooting and killing people at every turn. Passers-by were often shot and fell to the ground for no reason.Hearing the news that he was about to be evicted, the whole building panicked, feeling that a catastrophe was imminent and they didn't know how to deal with it.Liuqiu, the daughter of the Chen family, clearly remembers, "That morning, with tears in my eyes, my mother took a piece of light-colored cloth, wrote the names of parents and children, the date of birth, and the addresses of relatives and friends with a brush, and sewed them on the blouse of my 4-year-old sister Meiyan. She is on the lapel, afraid that she will be lost if she is forced to leave, and I hope that someone with good intentions will take her in. In such a situation, not only the eyes of the whole family are moist, but even the nanny who is about to say goodbye and return home is crying." In the crisis, Chen Yinke decided not to leave her home. Considering personal safety, he risked his life to fight the Japanese army, so he resolutely went downstairs to negotiate with the fierce Japanese army, and finally made the other party agree to extend the time to allow residents to relocate.Later, because this army was suddenly ordered to go to a new battlefield, the whole building was spared.The landlord of the Chen family, who used to be a bit arrogant, admired this poor professor who was awe-inspiring in front of the Japanese army and could negotiate in Japanese.

Having just escaped the bad luck of being expelled, in the darkness of night, there were bursts of miserable cries and fights from the upstairs opposite. It was only after dawn that the crying gradually subsided.The next day, a neighbor reported that the five flower girls in the upstairs family were raped and humiliated by Japanese soldiers last night.At this time, Liuqiu, the eldest daughter of the Chen family, was already in junior high school. His mother, Tang Yuan, shuddered when she heard this, and immediately touched the scissors from her side, and pulled Liuqiu over. Find out Chen Yinke's old clothes and let him wear them, and disguise himself as a man to avoid possible accidents.Just at this time, there was news that Mrs. Cai Yuanpei's home had been robbed. Chen Yinke hurried to see that all the money and belongings of Cai's family had been looted. It is said that a group of local criminals took advantage of the chaos.Mrs. Cai was so sad that she passed out several times. Chen Yinke wanted to help her, but she was already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river.

In the days when he couldn't go out, couldn't escape, and could only wait for change, Chen Yinke forced his sick and weak body, took a towel box workshop "Records of the Years Since Jianyan" (twelve volumes) and leaned on the bed to read it.This was written by Li Xinchuan, a historian of the Song Dynasty, and Jianyan was the reign title of Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty.Since Jianyan, it was the era when strong neighbors oppressed the border, and China went from unity to division.The contradictions between war and peace, loyalty and treachery, patriotism and traitorism, war of resistance and surrender run through the process of this period.When I read the volumes of the siege and surrender of Bianjing, on the day when the city fell, rumors and beacons spread at the same time.Chen took what he witnessed that day and confirmed it with historical facts, and he felt sweaty and had the feeling of harakiri.In the last volume of the book, Chen Yinke wrote: "In the midst of wars, hunger, cold and disease, I used this book to spend my days, so I read it in a hurry. Although the old family and school collections are far better than this one. It is false, but reading this book at that time was still in a peaceful world, so it is not as close and interesting as reading it today." Since Jianyan, the patriotic deeds of people with lofty ideals and benevolent people who stick to national integrity have aroused Chen's sympathy.Not long after, the leader of the Japanese military police stationed in Hong Kong learned that Chen Yinke was a world-renowned scholar, so he tried to appease and win him over, hoping to make him work for Japan.In this regard, several gendarmes were ordered to bring two bags of rice, which was extremely scarce on Hong Kong Island at that time, and which the Chen family needed urgently, as a gift.When Chen Yinke and his wife saw this and learned the reason, they tried their best to drag out the rice bag that had been placed in the room.This went back and forth many times, and finally Chen Yinke scolded the military police loudly in Japanese with an angry face, and told his family that he would rather starve to death than not want the rice of unknown origin. .

The matter did not end there. After the Spring Festival, a former student who claimed to be Chen Yinke suddenly came to visit. He said that he was ordered to teach in Guangzhou or Shanghai in the enemy-occupied areas, and allocated a huge sum of money for Mr. Chen to build a cultural college.After hearing this, Chen Yinke drove the other party out of the house angrily, saying "you are not my student".After calming down and thinking about it, I feel that my situation is getting more and more dangerous. Maybe one day I will be forcibly used by the Japanese and puppet traitors. If I want to avoid dancing with wolves, I must find ways to escape from Hong Kong Island.At this time, Zhu Jiahua in Chongqing had already sent a confidential telegram to Macau, and an underground member of the Kuomintang told Chen Yinke that someone would bring money from Macau to a certain place in Hong Kong to wait for a pick-up one day. Plan to escape.However, the money carrier went from Macau to Hong Kong five times to connect, all of which failed to achieve his goal due to the strict investigation by the Japanese army.Seeing that the situation was urgent and the governor could not do anything, Chen Yinke came up with the idea of ​​risking his life to break out of the siege. After some planning and dressing up, Mrs. Chen and his family took a small merchant ship carrying grain on the night of May 5, 1942. Under the cover, he quietly escaped from the tomb-like isolated island, and was able to meet the respondent when he arrived in Macau.The other party was ordered by Zhu Jiahua to send a total of 19,000 yuan jointly issued by the Academia Sinica and the Sino-British Geng Fund Foundation, and some funds from Sichuan who fled.Chen Yinke, who was suffering from hunger and cold, got the money, and as if blessed by God, he and his family embarked on the journey of fleeing to the mainland.First, they took a boat from Macau to Guangzhou Bay (that is, Zhanjiang), and then headed to the mainland by land by car. After a arduous journey, they arrived in Guilin, Guangxi in June.

Regarding the experience of escape and the suffering of being displaced, Chen Yinke wrote a tearful account in his letter to Fu Sinian on June 19, 1942: "This time I escaped from death and returned home with my family. The hardships cannot be described in words, but can be omitted. I can infer that I didn't take off my shoes to sleep for two months, and was forced to move four times because of the Japanese soldiers knocking on the door asking for "flower girl"; as for the lack of food for several months, I no longer eat meat For several months, it is regarded as a rare treasure to get one duck egg and share it with five people. This is like material pain. As far as spiritual pain is concerned, there is the temptation of Wang Puppet, the ferocity of Chen Bijun, Peking University, Peking University, etc. 'It was baited with a monthly salary of 1,000 yuan in counterfeit coins. The Japanese governor and traitors used 200,000 military tickets (400,000 Hong Kong dollars) to entrust the East Asian Cultural Association and review textbooks. Unfortunately, at that time the inland books (letters) were cut off, and Shanghai and Guangzhou Bay could not communicate with each other, and they were almost in a desperate situation. Suddenly, at the end of April, I got unexpected help and borrowed hundreds of Hong Kong dollars, so I bought a boat to Guangzhou Bay. There are debts that must be repaid, and you can only board the ship with clothes and shoes. You must bring your own luggage on board. My brother and wife have suffered from heart disease for a long time, and the three daughters are all young and cannot carry heavy things. The pain can be imagined !"

On the same day, Chen Yinke added in a letter to Zhu Jiahua, Ye Qisun, Wang Yihou, and Fu Sinian: "My younger brother, who had almost died of illness and fatigue, arrived in Guilin with his family on June 18." He also said: "At that time I couldn’t get enough porridge, and I couldn’t get up from the bed... I can’t tell how depressed I was, but at the end of April, I suddenly received a secret telegram from Mr. Liu, and I felt extremely excited as if I was resurrected from the dead.” After leaving the tiger's mouth and going into exile in Guilin, Chen Yinke's mood was like the hazy sky suddenly cleared up, just as he said in a letter to his friend Liu Yongji: "My younger brother lived in Hong Kong for half a year, and every time he didn't have enough food, he had to help him. He started to help the sick. I escaped from the enemy-occupied area for a while and returned to my homeland, feeling excited." And his brother Chen Longke, who was teaching at Wuhan University in Leshan, learned that his brother was still alive and did not eat the enemy's grain during the siege on Hong Kong Island, so he tried to get rid of the Japanese governor As well as the entanglement of Wang and the traitors, he escaped with his family safely, and he admired him even more when he was lucky. He wrote a poem "Wen Liudi and his family escaped from Hong Kong to Guilin" as a commemoration. Righteousness swallows mad thief" two sentences to show the praise and appreciation for this younger brother who is full of national integrity.

The Chen Yinke family who arrived in Guilin initially settled in the Institute of Physics of the Academia Sinica. At the beginning of 1938, when the Changsha Provisional University, the Institute of History and Philology of the Academia Sinica, and the Institute of Social Sciences withdrew from Changsha and moved to Kunming, the Institute of Physics, Institute of Geology, and Institute of Psychology also withdrew.Due to various reasons, the three institutes stopped moving forward after arriving in Guilin, and simply set up camp at the foot of the mountain outside Liangfeng Town, 40 miles away from Guilin City.Chen Yinke's family arrived in Guilin. According to Zhu Jiahua's telegram, Ding Xilin, director of the Institute of Physics of the Academia Sinica, sent a car to take the Chen family to the institute for a temporary stay.The Chen family, who had survived all kinds of dangers and narrow escapes, had mixed feelings about this historic meeting, and it was unforgettable.

According to Liu Qiu, Chen Yinke's daughter, "Father originally planned to go on the road to the Lizhuang Institute of History and Language in Sichuan", and the colleagues of the Institute of History and Language are also looking forward to the arrival of the master, adding to the first ancient town on the Yangtze River. New vigor and weight.Regrettably, the physical condition of Chen Yinke and his wife did not allow them to move forward, which caused this plan to gradually deviate from the track as the years passed, and eventually the figure of the master passed by Li Zhuang.

On August 1, 1942, Chen Yinke wrote to Fu Sinian the details of his inability to move forward: "However, for a long time in February, the boats and cars were exhausted, and the hostel was noisy. When I arrived in the mountains, I got a little rest. Did you know that after a long period of hard work, When resting for a short time, one suddenly feels exhausted, and old diseases such as heartbeat and insomnia gradually recur. Since the nervous excitement has calmed down, a serious illness is about to arrive but has not yet arrived. At this time, a long-term rest is required before health can gradually recover. If I travel again in a short period of time, I will suffer from the exhaustion of boats and vehicles (the travel expenses will not be paid, so I don’t care), and I will definitely reach the destination. Discuss, set up a lecture at Guangxi University, which is the purpose, and I hope to be forgiven." It can be seen from the letter that Chen Yinke, who is exhausted physically and mentally, has the intention of retreating, and really wants to take a rest in Guilin, an ancient city with beautiful mountains and rivers, and wait for his body. Make another picture after recovery.

Prior to this, Chen Yinke had written to Hang Liwu, the person in charge of the Zhongying Geng Fund, to discuss setting up a lecture, and it was agreed. The salary was jointly paid by the Zhong Ying Geng Fund and Guangxi University. It was a joint employment bureau of the two, and the class was held for three hours a week. , but "the monthly salary is not much".However, considering that "within half a year or several months, neither the younger brother nor the whole family can travel, and there must be no income to maintain the solar eclipse. There are few lectures, so we can sort out the old manuscripts taught at the University of Hong Kong over the years, so as to temporarily rest and transition. Plan to make preparations for gradual inland relocation." Chen made it very clear about the predicament he was facing and his future plans, but this letter had not yet been sent out. Ye Qisun, the director-general of the Academia Sinica in Chongqing, had ordered someone to send a letter of appointment to Guilin in a hurry the day before, asking Chen Yinke to be the "Central A full-time researcher at the Institute of History and Linguistics of the Academy".But all of this, Fu Sinian, the director of the Institute of History and Philology, who is in charge of the work in Li Zhuang, is kept in the dark.When he learned that Ye Qisun actually went to the kang without telling the truth, disregarded himself, the head of the Institute of History and Language, and acted recklessly, and hired Chen Yinke as a "professional" without authorization, Fu Sinian became angry, and immediately used his pen as a cannon to attack Ye Qisun . Ye Qisun was born in an intellectual family in Shanghai in 1898.According to Ye Hou's self-narration: "My father was born in the imperial examination and studied the classics and history of ancient books." He also said, "Since I was a teenager, I have read quite a lot of ancient books, such as the Book of Songs, Book of Rites and Zuo Zhuan. These ancient books It made me have orthodox thinking. I entered Tsinghua School in 1931 and learned some European and American bourgeois thoughts." In 1918, after graduating from Tsinghua School, Ye Qisun entered the Physics Department of the University of Chicago in the United States. Received a master's degree in 1920, transferred to Harvard University Graduate School to study experimental physics, and received a doctorate in philosophy in 1923. Immediately after, he traveled and inspected famous universities in European countries and communicated with world-class masters. He returned to China in 1924 and was hired by Southeast University as an associate professor of physics. In August 1925, he was hired by Tsinghua University as an associate professor of physics, and at the same time started his lifelong entrepreneurship in science. In 1929, he became the Dean of the Faculty of Science of Tsinghua University, Chairman of the School Affairs Committee and Acting President.After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he moved south with the school and became a professor of the Physics Department of Southwest Associated University, the chairman of the Special Research Committee of Tsinghua University, and a member of the school. In 1940, following the death of Cai Yuanpei in Hong Kong, Zhu Jiahua got his wish to be the Acting President of Academia Sinica after fierce competition, and Fu Sinian became the director-general. Afterwards, Fu's physical strength gradually weakened and he had to reconsider finding someone to replace him.Zhu Jiahua, Weng Wenhao, and Fu Sinian discussed and weighed repeatedly, and decided to invite Ye Qisun out of the mountain.After many twists and turns, Ye Qisun and Mei Yiqi finally agreed to Zhu Jiahua's request. On September 11, 1941, Mei Yiqi sent a letter to Ye Qisun, "Going to the Academia Sinica with one step, I suffered a heavy loss at Tsinghua University, and Zai Qi personally felt very sad, but for the sake of the development of an important academic institution in China, we should not be stingy. I have no choice but to allow you to ask for a leave of absence and temporarily take up the position of the academy." At the end of September, Ye Qisun left Kunming and flew to Chongqing to officially succeed Fu Sinian as the director-general of the Academia Sinica.Fu Ze left Chongqing with his wife and children in early December of the same year and moved to Lizhuang. Ye Qisun and Chen Yinke had a close relationship when they were in Tsinghua Garden in Peking, and they can be called close friends.Before and after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Ye and Chen had many discussions on the war situation and the southward relocation, and they still maintained a deep friendship until they moved to Changsha and Kunming with the school.When the news of Chen's arrival in Guilin from Hong Kong with his family was reported to the head office of the Academia Sinica, Ye Qisun looked to the southeast and followed with great enthusiasm and love the fate of this master historian who had only one person born in three hundred years.Before Chen Yinke foreshadowed the details of his book report, Ye Yiyi began to make plans for Chen's future life with the unique delicacy and shrewdness of Shanghainese. On June 9, 1942, Ye wrote to Fu Sinian of Li Zhuang, to the effect that: Chen Yinke has arrived in Guilin, does the Institute of History and Philology plan to hire him as a full-time researcher?How much is the monthly salary?He also said: "It seems that the salary can be paid from January, but Yinke will be paid from June, and part of the travel expenses will be offset by the previous May salary. In terms of the health of Yinke and his wife, it is not suitable to live in Kunming and Lizhuang. The best way , It seems that he is invited to work full-time, and he is allowed to work in Guilin, I don't know how respectful it is?" After reading the letter, Fu Sinian thought that this Ye Qisun was still thinking about Yinke's work and family's livelihood amidst the many chores.But there is one point that Fu Sinian absolutely disagrees with, which is the difference between full-time and part-time. He said in Fu Ye Qisun's letter later: Chen Yinke's full-time job at the Institute of History and Language is something that Fu himself and all his colleagues have longed for. However, due to the strict system and service regulations of the Academia Sinica and the Institute, Chen Yinke could not live in Guilin and receive the salary of a full-time researcher of the Institute. salary.If Chen Guo can come to Lizhuang, her salary should be 600 yuan and a temporary salary increase of 40 yuan.Otherwise, it cannot be done.Fu Sinian once again brought up the embarrassing incident of treating Liang Siyong and completely bankrupting the infirmary of the Shiyu Institute to show that he is a person who "will do his best to accommodate people". My younger brother advocates that this court should do our best, and my younger brother firmly believes that it should, but if there are restrictions in the rules and regulations, there is no accommodation at all. If there are exceptions in everything, there will be those who refer to them."After writing this letter, Fu Sinian seemed to feel that there was still something he hadn't explained clearly, and he specifically noted in a blank space at the top of the letter why Yin Ke was always called "temporary and part-time salary for full-time researcher". After Ye Qisun received the letter, he felt that what Fu Sinian said was reasonable, so he wrote back on June 30 and said, "As for the matter of Yinke, I respect you very much. Please call him to ask for his opinion. He decided to work in Lizhuang. Tsinghua University understands it." Allow him to continue his vacation. Yin Ke is too weak, so it is up to him to decide where to choose between Li, Zhuang and Kunming." When Fu Sinian received the letter, he did not do what Ye Qisun said. The reason was: "I have discussed this matter with him in two letters before, but the telegram was unclear. However, Yinke's letter did not mention his younger brother's letter, and asked his younger brother to entrust Hang Liwu." Brother tried to give him a lecture at Guangxi University." According to Fu Sinian, since I wrote twice to ask Mrs. Chen if he would come to Lizhuang and when he would come to Lizhuang, and gave a detailed introduction to Lizhuang's regional characteristics, customs and customs, Mrs. Chen's reply only said that he " In the work, it will be finished in September", "the Li Zhuang matter is never mentioned".This made Fu Sinian deeply puzzled and a little annoyed. He thought that whether you came or not, there must be an explanation. What's the reason for pretending to be deaf and dumb like this?Driven by this mood, he simply threw Ye Xin aside and ignored him. In late July, Liu Cixiao, a clerk at the General Office of the Academia Sinica, attached a message to Fu Sinian, saying: "Mr. Ye wrote to the director of the business to hire Mr. Chen Yinke as a full-time researcher, with a monthly salary of 600 yuan and a salary increase of 40 yuan. The dean has approved to do so. Once Mr. Ye will review the monthly salary letter, the letter of appointment will be sent to your office and forwarded to Guilin." This sudden news made Fu Sinian "very surprised", thinking that he had not received the letter from Chen Yinke coming to Li Zhuang immediately, and he did not change his previous opinion, "Why did this happen suddenly?" Although Fu was not very clear I am very happy, but I feel a little relieved when I think of the phrase "send it to your office and forward it to Guilin" in the letter.According to Fu's plan, as soon as the letter of appointment arrives in Lizhuang, he will suppress it, and then it will not be too late to revise the letter and Ye Qisun's theory.To Fu's surprise, on July 31, he suddenly received a letter from Wang Yihou, a staff member of the Academia Sinica office, telling him: "Brother Fa Yinke's letter of appointment has been completed, and Brother Qi Sun asked me to send the letter to Guilin, so as not to pass it on." Trouble. I also said that the salary received from January to May will be retained by the academy as part of offsetting travel expenses. I will send a letter to Yin Ke today to ask for his consent (the letter will be copied on a separate sheet)." He also said: "From June All sent to the teacher to use" and so on. After reading the letter, Fu Sinian threw the letter on the ground as if he had been hit by a sap, shouted "Why is he!" and jumped up, expressing his great dissatisfaction with Ye Qisun. On August 6, Fu Sinian issued a series of "statements" to Ye Qisun: 1. I will never admit that those who receive a full-time salary can work outside the institute.Before Yinke expressed his intention to come to Lizhuang, the letter of appointment was issued in a hurry, and from June onwards, Yinke will use it for himself, which is tantamount to allowing him to live in Guilin and receive a full-time salary.This is completely contrary to the belief that brothers return to brothers. 2. Since Xingfo and Zaijun, the director-general has never ignored the director and directly dealt with the affairs of a school.If the director is not good, it can be avoided as much as possible; if the opinion is wrong, it should be refuted.If there is no agreement after discussion, the opinion of the Director-General shall prevail in the end.However, direct processing cannot be skipped.Before Yinke indicated that he would go to Lizhuang, the full-time appointment letter should not be issued, and it should not be sent directly (because he did not get his brother's consent). This is a violation of the good tradition of the hospital for more than ten years. 3. In order to make up for Yinke's travel expenses, award Yinke's works (or in the future, Biyun will send some works).In addition to this, I receive a full-time salary for living in Guilin, which my brother cannot admit.Fortunately, Yinke is a person who understands this matter, otherwise it would be tantamount to making people a "blocker".It is very difficult for the director to do so in such a way.My younger brother has recently felt that he is not capable enough, and has been criticized by his colleagues for paying for Siyong's illness.Now, let’s add another regulation that violates Article 10 of the General Rules of the Organization. How can we deal with those who invoke the regulation?This brother is also a person who feels panic. After writing such a fierce battle essay, Fu Sinian still felt that there were still thousands of complex words that he could not fully express, so he continued to wave a large pen, teaching and guiding with the tone of parents to children, teachers to students, and elders to juniors. stand up: Even if Lingdi agrees to this matter, the formalities must first be approved by the office of the firm, and the firm will submit it to the head office for approval.The head office handles it according to the rules.Also a long procedure also.And the various articles of the court regulations related to this matter: Article 10 of the general rules of the organization stipulates that full-time researchers and full-time associate researchers should always conduct research in the institute. Article 2 of the general rules of service, the services of all places and staff of the hospital must abide by the provisions of this general rule. In addition, there are still many people who are indirectly related, so it is against the rules of the institute to receive a full-time researcher's salary and work outside the institute. On August 14, Fu Sinian's anger had calmed down. He was afraid that Chen Yinke might misunderstand after receiving the telegram.So he immediately revised a letter, first urging him to move to Sichuan as soon as possible, "Looking forward to the future, Guangxi does not seem to be the place where my brother has lived for a long time", "If you don't make a decision early, it will be even more difficult in the future."Later, he was dissatisfied with Ye Qisun's letter of appointment, and gave a detailed explanation to Chen Yinke: "This matter is a stranger, or it can be a hindrance for the younger brother. Brother Gai lives in Guizhou with the salary of this hospital. It is very convenient. But brother As a person who attaches great importance to laws and regulations, the method proposed by Qisun cannot be implemented in this office. Brother must know it in detail. All the gentlemen in this office call themselves great sages. If there are exceptions, it is the rule. For example, Siyong’s serious illness, medical expenses There are so many, I didn't expect it at the beginning, and the public opinion is not the same. I must understand the situation in this matter. Now this matter has passed because my brother was hired by Guangxi University, but I have to say the whole story. .” On August 30, Chen Yinke replied to Fu Sinian: "Before my younger brother received the honor call, he received a letter of appointment as a full-time researcher from the head office, and he went down the mountain in the heat within two hours and sent it back. At that time, I didn't know why, and I didn't know Ye Qisun. Brother had this proposal. (I didn’t know about this until I got a letter from you today. Qisun only sent a letter to my brother, saying that I had a meeting in Chongqing.) At that time, although my brother wanted to stay in Guiyao temporarily, he didn’t want to take a full-time job in Guiyao. Position. There is a provision for full-time stationing in the court. I know it well. Is there any reason to violate it? Today, our generation does not abide by the law. Who is more willing to abide by the law? I agree with my brother on this point... Based on the overall trend and personal Speaking of interest, sooner or later I have to enter Sichuan, and I am afraid that it will be half a year later. In short, I have studied Taoism all my life, but I am dying to be unknown, and Zhou's wife is a meat, and the burden of life is especially heavy. It is a burden to the kindness of relatives and friends, I am sorry." In the postscript of the letter, Chen Yinke added: "All the friends in the institute are begging for Dao Nian. If you want to know my brother's current situation, please read this letter. Zhongshan, Guizhou University, and Wuhan University all sent letters of appointment, and Central University has already resigned, and sent them here to ask for leave on their behalf (strange). My brother can see from this that the teaching profession is at the end of the road, and Gai can no longer make a living. They have changed their careers in half a year, resulting in so many vacancies. I have never seen a bank Or the tax office is in a hurry to ask for someone. Yu Zishan's poem said: "Where can I find a spring knife, and ask for it to be a Luoyang Jia." This is also a sentence in the twilight years." Mrs. Chen is worthy of being Fu Sinian's close friend. He has interpreted from Fu Xin's letter that "all the gentlemen in this institute call themselves great sages". In a silent way, Fu Sinian solved the problem calmly.The Chen family was born in a prosperous and famous family, without the life background and complicated experience of Fu Sinian, who described himself as "my young man is cheap". You are a master of the style!" However, through his cleanliness and self-discipline this time, his insight into world affairs, and his ingenious skill in helping Fu Sinian to overcome possible misunderstandings caused by his colleagues in historical language, it can be seen that this statement is absurd.This action is in response to what Wu Mi praised Chen Yinke back then: "Not only is he knowledgeable, but he also has a deep understanding of Chinese and Western politics and social insiders." ", but a crouching dragon figure who has insight into the subtleties and knows the truth of the world. Chen Yinke has been appeased. Under pressure, Ye Qisun from Chongqing also sent a letter to Fu Sinian with an apologetic explanation, but Fu Sinian still refused to let go. Chen Yinke took office at the Shiyu Institute, and ordered Ye Qisun to send another letter of appointment to Chen Yinke in the same way that an elder or an old man treats his grandson. In the letter, Fu personally listed the text format of the letter of appointment: "Full-time researchers temporarily apply the treatment of part-time researchers" a monthly salary of 100 yuan and a temporary salary increase of 40 yuan Note: This is a formula that has been followed for ten years (initially "applicable to special treatment").There was an exchange of texts, and the two parties rotated, and then they stopped.If this formula is to be changed, it may be necessary to discuss it in the office meeting of the firm first. My brother thinks that this formula does not need to be changed. Ye Qisun was very unhappy when he received Fu Sinian's order. Looking back on his status and influence in Tsinghua University, he had served as the acting principal several times and was in charge of all affairs of Tsinghua University.Now, as the director-general of the Academia Sinica alone, it is a great shame that even such a small matter as issuing a letter of appointment for a part-time staff has to be personally ordered by the "superior director-general".Thinking of this, Ye Qisun's face turned purple, and he shouted angrily in front of the staff of the head office: "Fu Sinian is too high-handed (overbearing)!" Then he abandoned Fu Xin and ignored him.Although Fu Sinian is "big-hearted, capable of asking for money and spending money", and in the eyes of others, "all the director-generals of the past have respected him but feared him" (Dong Zuobin).But Ye Qisun didn't accept this. He respected Fu but was not afraid of Fu, and he had his own opinions in his heart.Seeing Fu Sinian's ferocity and tendency to refuse to give up, he rationally adopted the strategy of "advancing the enemy and retreating while the enemy cannot afford to be provoked" in a disheartened mood.Although under Fu Sinian's remote control, command, and pressure, Ye Qisun finally sent Chen Yinke an appointment letter of "part-time job", but he never asked about this matter again. As for whether Chen Yinke left or stayed, whether he died or lived, everything was up to him Nothing to do. On January 16, 1943, taking advantage of Mei Yiqi's official business trip to Chongqing, Ye Qisun had a secret conversation with her, and the two agreed that Ye Ke would leave Chongqing in Xiaqiu and return to Kunming to resume his old business.In August of the same year, regardless of Zhu Jiahua's repeated attempts to stay, Ye Qisun resolutely resigned as the director-general of the Academia Sinica and returned to Kunming to teach.The public reason for his resignation was that Ye "felt it was inappropriate to be away from teaching for a long time", "When I left Kunming, I asked for a leave of absence from the United Nations General Assembly, and according to the regulations at the time, it could not exceed two years" and so on.But according to Ye's family (niece), her uncle's colleagues at Academia Sinica once revealed to her that the main reason was "not getting along with Fu Sinian".Ye’s assistant at Academia Sinica, He Chengjun (note: later a professor of physics at Tsinghua University, is still alive) confirmed this statement, and said: “Ye Qisun has connections with Southeast University (later Central University), Tsinghua University, and American academic institutions. At that time, there were more than a dozen research institutes of Academia Sinica, and most of the personnel belonged to this system. Ye was popular and fair, and was very popular with these directors and researchers. Fu Sinian was a figure in Peking University and the European system. There are not many people in the Academia Sinica. The reason why Fu can gain a foothold here and do something is to rely on the ruthlessness of Shandong thieves and Shuibo Liangshan heroes in his character. But his way Not very popular. Mr. Ye once told me that Fu Sinian is too high-handed (overbearing) and cannot work with him. It is said that Fu Sinian is still very high-handed in Taiwan, which is determined by his personality , is something that cannot be changed.” After Ye resigned, physicist Li Shuhua became the director-general of Academia Sinica and the director of the Institute of Physics. Not long after, Li resigned and was succeeded by physicist Sa Bendong. In the summer of 1943, in order to annihilate the main force of the Kuomintang Central Army, the Japanese army attacked Changde from Hubei. The war approached Changsha, and Guilin was in a tight spot.Due to the situation, Chen Yinke had to embark on the difficult and long road of escape with his family again, heading for Sichuan.All the way through Yishan and Jincheng River into Guizhou, and then Dushan to Duyun.Tang Yuan, who was already sick, contracted dysentery again unfortunately. After struggling to survive in Guiyang, his condition became more serious, with diarrhea, pus and blood. After more than a month of recuperation, he went back on the road again.At this time, Chen Yinke was suffering from serious illness again, so he had to grit his teeth and continue running. After more than a month of trekking along the Sichuan-Guizhou Highway, the family finally arrived in Chongqing at the end of November and lived in the home of his in-laws Yu Dawei and Chen Xinwu.Jiang Tianshu and Lan Wenzheng, former graduates of Tsinghua Research Institute, were teaching at Fudan University in Xiaba, Chongqing. They heard that Chen Yinke's family had come to Chongqing, and they made an appointment to pay their respects.Chen and his wife were both seriously ill and bedridden. Seeing the disciples coming, they propped themselves up and sat on the quilt.When Lan Wenzheng came, he only bought three cans of milk powder on the street. Chen Yinke couldn't put it down when he saw it, and sighed, "It's because I lack this that I'm sick like this!" Because Li Zhuang is located in a remote place, lacks medical care and medicine, and life is extremely difficult, it is almost impossible for Chen Yinke, who is sick and about to lose all eyesight, to survive.Previously, Chen Yinke had received a letter of appointment from Yenching University. After negotiating with Yu Dawei and his wife, Chen decided to teach at Yenching University in Chengdu with better conditions.So, at the end of 1943, Chen Yinke and his wife, whose health improved a little, left Chongqing with their family and drove to Chengdu along the Sichuan-Chongqing Highway.Many years later, according to Li Guangmo, the son of Li Ji: Chen Liuqiu, the daughter of Chen Yinke, said in a letter to him, "When Mr. Yinke's family returned to the mainland from Hong Kong, he originally planned to return to work at the Institute of History and Language (to Lizhuang). Later, after learning that Li Ji’s two beloved daughters had unfortunately died, indicating that the local medical conditions were poor, Mr. Chen was worried that he and his family would not be able to adapt physically, so he was hired by Yenching University and went to Chengdu.” Chen Yinke originally came to Li Zhuang, but finally left Li Zhuang.Since then, a generation of historians has lost Li Zhuang, and Li Zhuang has lost this master who was only seen once in three hundred years.And the communication between the colleagues of the Institute of History and Philology and Chen Yinke is also like fish swimming in the rolling Yangtze River, gradually drifting away, until the moment they rush out of the Three Gorges and merge into the sea, they part ways and forget each other in the rivers and lakes.
