Chapter 51 In the second quarter, Ye Qisun, the top leader of Tsinghua University

In the autumn of 1943, Ye Qisun, the director-general of the Academia Sinica, could not bear the humiliation of having no power because of Fu Sinian’s dominance. He resolutely resigned from Chongqing and returned to Southwest Associated University in Kunming, where he continued to serve as the director of the “Special Research Enterprise” Committee of Tsinghua University. . In August 1945, because Wu Youxun, the dean of the College of Science of Southwest Associated University, was transferred to be the president of Chongqing Central University, Ye succeeded him as the dean of the College of Science of the Associated University of Southwest.After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Mei Yiqi and Fu Sinian, members of the Standing Committee of the Southwest Associated University, frequently traveled between Chongqing, Nanjing, and Beiping to deal with the demobilization of the school. , became the de facto top leader of the Southwest Associated University.During the period, in order to implement the "seed plan" by the national government, under the recommendation of Wu Dayou, Ye Qisun supported the young and intelligent physics genius Li Zhengdao to study abroad at public expense and succeeded in studying in the United States.Many years later, Li Zhengdao said gratefully: "Master Ye is not only my first teacher, but also a mentor who has influenced my scientific achievements throughout my life."

In the autumn of 1946, Tsinghua University was demobilized and returned to Peking and resumed classes in Tsinghua Park. Ye Qisun served as a school council member and dean of the Faculty of Science. He was the second most powerful figure in Tsinghua after Mei Yiqi. At the end of 1948, Mei Yiqi flew south in a hurry, and Tsinghua University was quickly taken over by the CCP.According to Ye Qisun’s “interpretation materials” during the “Cultural Revolution”: “After the demobilization of Tsinghua University, I once told Mei Yiqi: If there is a short-term opportunity to go abroad to study physics or the history of science, I can consider it. Later, a certain foundation in the United States ( I can’t remember which one) letter, saying that I have been given a fellowship stipend to study the history of science at MIT or Harvard University. When I received this letter, the People’s Liberation Army had already It is close to the Beijing area. I would like to stay in Tsinghua University and wait for the liberation. I did not reply to the letter from the foundation, nor did I go to collect the money.” When Ye decided to give up this opportunity, Mei Yiqi wanted to pull Ye to leave Beiping, and had a relationship with Ye Qisun Together they went to Fujian Province to use the Tsinghua funds saved overseas to re-establish the Tsinghua University base, but after some hesitation and wait-and-see, Ye finally decided to neither go abroad nor fly south because he was "confident that there would be no more crimes, and the Communist Party also needed teachers". , insisting on staying to meet a new regime that he did not understand.

After Mei Yiqi left, Tsinghua's affairs were temporarily maintained by the school committee chaired by Feng Youlan, Dean of the Faculty of Arts. On January 10, 1949, Qian Junrui, Director of the Cultural Takeover Committee of the Beiping Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, together with Zhang Zonglin of the Education Committee and others, went to Tsinghua Garden to formally take over. Feng Youlan, chairman of the School Affairs Committee, called the teachers and students in the auditorium and declared that "Tsinghua University will start from today. Since then, it has officially become a university of the People’s Government (all applaud for one minute), and it is the first university liberated by the People’s Liberation Army.” On January 30, the day before the declaration of the peaceful liberation of Peking, more than 2,000 members of the People's Liberation Army affiliated to the CCP marched to Tsinghua Garden in the name of visiting, which was actually an occupation ceremony.People's Liberation Army officers and soldiers and the Tsinghua student team gathered in the gymnasium square, singing and shouting slogans together. They ran out of their homes with their wives and belts to see the strange Tsinghua professors. It was the first time they heard "Long live the Communist Party of China!" "Chairman Mao" Long live!" and other slogans.These extraordinary slogans had a great impact on the minds of professors from Tsinghua University. Most people had to think that the sky has indeed changed, and how people change is probably up to the sky.

On January 31, Qian Junrui, a representative of the Communist Party of China, was ordered to give a lecture on New Democracy and Communist Party policies in the auditorium of Tsinghua University. More than 2,000 teachers and students attended the lecture.While Qian Junrui was giving a lecture at Tsinghua, the Tsinghua Professors Association also held an emergency meeting to discuss the issue of government wage arrears.The Cultural Takeover Committee of the former Beiping Military Commission of the PLA promised to pay the Tsinghua faculty and staff once before the end of January, but when the end of the month came, no one saw a single copper.Therefore, many professors attending the meeting believed that the school committee headed by Feng Youlan did not work hard enough, and asked Feng Su to go to the CCP authorities to demand money.Feng turned around in circles, moaning and moaning to all parties with various excuses, but still could not be forgiven by everyone, angrily said: "I am here to run a school, not to beg for food."

An "advanced teacher" named Wu Zhengyi in the Department of Biology immediately stood up and criticized: "This is a question of thought." According to Feng Youlan's reflection many years later: "I thought to myself at that time, I have been engaged in philosophy for decades, but I don't know anything about it." Thoughts? I learned later that the so-called ideology after liberation is not exactly the same as the so-called ideology before.” Feng Zhiwu could not speak, and lost his composure many times in the venue.According to Pu Jiangqing’s daily record: “Since the liberation of Tsinghua groups, self-criticism prevailed, but the habit of self-criticism has not been developed, so there are many emotions and rifts. Feng Gong said an old saying, saying that Tsinghua has an idiom: 'Professors are gods, students are tigers, and officials are dogs!' The school meeting is always wrong at this moment, and I hope the new government will send the principal soon!"

Pu Jiangqing's diary reveals two facts: one is that Feng Youlan is no longer accepted and looked down upon by the professors, especially the new school teachers; Unprepared, but with the change of the political situation, this new wind soon set off huge waves, submerging the inexperienced scholars in the vast sea.Not long after, Feng Youlan, who was in charge of Tsinghua University's school affairs, was kicked aside, and Wu Han was appointed as the army representative to take over the overall affairs. Feng Youlan believes that there are two reasons why she stumbled and lost the official title of Tsinghua's "top leader": one is that she cannot keep up with the times in politics, and she is even completely confused; .In this regard, Feng cited two examples: First, when the Kuomintang army retreated and the CCP Military Control Commission had not entered the "vacuum period" to take over the Tsinghua Park, one day, the Kuomintang army plane flew over the Tsinghua Park and dropped bombs, and one of them exploded. Big, threw Feng Youlan who was sitting on the sofa at home.Frightened, Feng Yu hurriedly got up and looked out the window. He saw some family members of faculty and staff covered in quilts, screaming and running wildly on the road. The scene was terrifying and chaotic.Feng Youlan went out to check and found out that the bomb just landed in the woods next to the skating rink behind the I-shaped hall. Two trees were blown up, leaving a large crater.At that time, there were many adults and children skating on the skating rink. If the bomb fell on the skating rink, the consequences would be disastrous.Feeling terrified and uneasy, Feng Youlan found a few people to investigate together, and found that Tsinghua Park had dropped a total of twelve bombs, and the other eleven bombs fell on the open space in the corner of the park, and only one beside the skating rink was away from the crowd. Closer, but no one was injured and no property was damaged.The next day, the KMT newspaper reported that the Nanjing air force had bombed the PLA artillery positions in the western suburbs, causing the PLA to suffer a lot of losses.Since the artillery of the People's Liberation Army was bombed in the western suburbs, why did they drop bombs in Tsinghua Garden?Feng Youlan and the professors were in a fog.According to the analysis of several professors known as "Wolong" and "Fengchu", the Kuomintang army obviously came prepared for this operation and had a detailed bombing plan. The People's Liberation Army is stationed secretly, and this method of scaring the snake will chase them out. Otherwise, the teachers and students of Tsinghua University will attack them out of consideration for their own safety and take the initiative to expel them from the park; It's hard to predict who will win the game, don't be too frivolous, you don't have a death plan in your heart, like a pile of grass with a hollow belly, shallow roots, and floating in the air, falling to the east when the east wind comes, and tilting to the west when the west wind comes, Usually full of benevolence and morality, propriety, integrity and shame, plus a bunch of spring and autumn righteousness, national integrity, etc.Once the situation is overwhelmed, all these righteousness and integrity will be sent to his mother's house, or directly given to Lafayette Xitian.All that was left was to look around in a daze, or to shout long live, or to kowtow, to look for a new master in a daze with drooping sleepy eyelids.

Feng Youlan, the chairman of the Tsinghua University Council, naturally ignored these speculations and discussions, and hurriedly did some soothing publicity and evacuation work.At this moment, Chairman Mao Zedong sent a telegram of condolences to Tsinghua University to express his concern and comfort.This telegram sent at a great historical turning point, like any period of great revolution in history, is a major event, an important event and an extraordinary event worthy of special attention.It's a pity that Feng Youlan, who claims to have studied philosophy for most of his life, and always regards himself as an "imperial teacher", does not pay attention to Mao Zedong, who commanded millions of troops, and still adheres to the old views and old rules without knowing how to praise him. It is undoubtedly a humiliation to Mao Zedong and the party he represents to deal with the letter sent by a small librarian at the former Peking University.Feng’s ignorance of politics, current affairs, and worldly sophistication is just like his own heartbroken confession later: “After Tsinghua was attacked by the Kuomintang, the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao sent condolence telegrams. This is a concern for Tsinghua. It was publicized with great fanfare, but I followed the usual method and announced the incoming call on the school bulletin board, and it was over.” At the time, Feng Youlan thought that this matter was not worth mentioning, but when the Kuomintang regime was about to be overthrown, it was ready to make a big turnaround. On the one hand, it seems to be treasonous.Because the overall situation is not yet clear, the CCP is holding back for the time being.Not long after, the Wu Han incident happened.

After the peaceful liberation of Peking, the school affairs meeting presided over by Feng Youlan made a decision that those who wish to stay in Tsinghua University should sign and register.At this time, Wu Han, as the CCP's "commander", returned to Peiping from the Hebei area of ​​the CCP's liberated area with pride, and as a receiving officer, he marched into Peiping with the PLA to receive people, property, and things.One day, on a whim, Wu Han sneaked into Tsinghua University alone to collect his salary from the accounting department by sneaking into the garden without shooting a gun.Wu may not want to make a fuss in front of his old colleagues, because he is afraid that other professors will criticize him personally or behind his back as an advanced member of the CCP, and the CCP accepts the leadership of the Communist Party. As an employee, why bother with this pitifully small salary?Moreover, I ignored the teachers and students of Tsinghua University and the courses I taught. I have been sneaking away for several months. I have not attended classes, and I have not returned a ruble sponsorship fee for the needy staff and students who are as poor as beggars. , It can be said that he has not done an inch of merit, but has caused a lot of trouble for the school committee. What kind of salary is he receiving now?What is the basis?If an acquaintance asks, how embarrassing is it?

Wu Han's worries soon became a reality. Because of the regulations issued by the school committee, he was equally arrogant. He thought that the principal was the boss, and he was the second child. The daimyo decided not to pay wages.Wu Han explained that he was originally a professor at Tsinghua University. He escaped from Tsinghua University a few months ago and slipped into the Liberated Areas. He threw his head and blood for the revolution. The salary during the period when I left school is used as a reward and reward for hard work or fatigue.But the head of the accounting section insisted that Wu go to Feng Youlan, who was in charge of Tsinghua University’s school affairs. As long as Feng signed and approved, the accounting department would follow suit.Wu Han showed a disdainful attitude towards Feng Youlan, saying that he would resolutely ignore the piece of foreign pickles.In this way, the two sides come and go to compete with each other.No matter how Wu Han shook his head and gesticulated back and forth, and explained with saliva splashing, the bullish accountant chief only had Feng Youlan in his heart and no Wu Han, his attitude was as rigid as iron, and there was no room for accommodation.In a desperate fight, the head of the accounting section yelled loudly: "What was it before, may not be what it is now. It turns out that Chiang Kai-shek is still the president, so isn't he stepping down now? It turns out that Wang Jingwei was the leader of the Kuomintang. Isn't he a traitor now?" Hearing this, Wu Han knew that the accountant chief didn't take himself, a red figure who was about to enter the political stage, into his eyes at all. His face turned purple and black in anger, and he muttered cruel words that others couldn't understand. walk away.

Soon, Wu Han made an impassioned speech on Tsinghua’s registration issue at the CCP Acceptance Committee, to the effect that: “Tsinghua stipulates that anyone returning from the liberated areas must register. I don’t understand the new meaning of the term ‘register’, probably The new meaning is that it is called 'registration' for those with problems." Wu Han's speech aroused the great attention of the CCP's reception staff, who believed that the Tsinghua school hosts had no good intentions for the revolutionary teachers and students who came to the liberated areas, and even became hostile. How proper is it to deal with these advanced revolutionaries in the same way as the enemy?As a result, the CCP Cultural Management Committee sent officials to Tsinghua University to investigate responsibility, and Feng Youlan, the chairman of the school committee, was the first to bear the brunt of the investigation and reprimand.Feng Youlan, who had always stuttered, still faltered and couldn't explain clearly, and she was ashamed, and finally received a warning and beat around the bush in a daze.

Not long after, as the People's Liberation Army took over Beiping and stabilized its position, Qian Junrui, head of the CCP's Cultural Management Committee, went to Tsinghua University and announced that he would send Wu Han as an army representative to preside over Tsinghua's school affairs. After Nanjing was occupied by the People's Liberation Army, the Tsinghua University Council was ordered to reorganize, with Ye Qisun as the chairman, and Wu Han as the vice chairman, dean of literature and head of the history department.Feng Youlan was kicked out of the circle of leaders, relieved of his full-time job as a professor of philosophy, and collapsed immediately.It will be 17 years later when the Feng family makes a comeback, follows Gao Ju, squeezes into the ranks of the "Four Haos", and becomes a member of the famous "Liang Xiao" under the patronage of Jiang Qing.At that time, Wu Han collapsed without fighting, and was finally put on the gallows.This ending can be regarded as giving Feng Youlan a mouthful of sour smell that has been fermenting in her heart for too long. In November 1949, Wu Han, then deputy representative of Tsinghua University's military control committee, dean of the Faculty of Arts and head of the Department of History, visited the Soviet Union at the order of the top leaders of the Communist Party of China.On the way back to China, I heard the radio station broadcast the news that I was elected as the deputy mayor of Beijing.While Wu was having fun on the jingling train, following the old official rules, he immediately sent a telegram to Premier Zhou Enlai expressing his refusal, saying that he wanted to "continue to engage in historical research and education work" and so on.Zhou Enlai answered the call, and in accordance with the old rules, he came forward to talk to Wu in the way of "persuading him".After three days and three nights of thinking (if it was 3 hours, it was obviously too little and not appropriate), Wu Han agreed to take office with the belief of saving the people from the fire and water and the mind of "considering the overall situation". ——This kind of "persuasion" method handed down from ancient times, in Wu Han's body, is quite a bit like the story of the Jewish Saul (Paul) who finally converted in the Bible.In the future, Wu Han's fanatical pursuit of the CCP and his perseverance in "joining the party organization" can be said to be more Saul than Saul. After becoming the deputy mayor of Beijing, Wu Han moved to the tall and majestic building of the municipal government and the spacious and bright office. Wu Han has always been emptied by Wu Han. Ye Qisun, the nominal director of the Tsinghua School Committee, was officially the top leader of Tsinghua University at this time. .However, people with a discerning eye understand that although Ye Qisun temporarily sat on the top chair in the "Loyalty Hall" in Tsinghua Garden, this chair is not stable and stable, but is creaking and making muffled noises.According to an old Tsinghua professor who has worked with Ye for decades: As far as Ye’s character and thinking are concerned, he is a kind of honest scholar, mild-mannered, "seemingly unable to speak", and has a firm sense of free thought and independence. The spirit is not suitable for the "official" position.Although he has acted as an agent for school affairs several times, it is only because of his reputation and academic status that few others can match, and most of them are of the nature of maintenance and staying behind. It is neither his specialty nor his desire to really engage in administrative work for a long time .As for politics, he has always been afraid to avoid it.When he was the director-general of the Academia Sinica in Chongqing, Zhu Jiahua, who was the head of the Central Organization of the Kuomintang, recruited him more than once to join the Kuomintang, but he rejected them all the time.Not only that, he lived alone, never married, regarded students as his children, and spent a life full of joys and sorrows. ——This statement is basically in line with the facts and reason, but there are also some things that are relatively vague, such as Ye's marriage problem.According to the information disclosed in "Wu Mi's Diary", Ye seemed to have been in love when he was in Tsinghua University. For example, the entry on July 2, 1937 read: "The beauty of K is increasing day by day. In the past two years, the changes have increased, and it is almost different every time. Mi is to K, like flowers, beautiful things, antiques and treasures, which can be appreciated, but the spirit has no deep bond, and emotions are not easy to communicate. This is what Mi feels. K is packing up everything in the morning, and will return to Xiangshan....It is also said that it has been decided Stay at Chen Ci’s home tonight. Chen Ci will accompany Yi to Yilan Hall Yun. Chatting, talking about Ye Qisun’s love for He Enci; Then Mi can't have the slightest hope for K. K's gesture made Mi's feelings for K as cold as ice." He Enci was born in Panyu, Guangdong. He graduated from the Department of Foreign Languages ​​of Tsinghua University in 1936 and worked in the Peking Library.And K was a girl from Tsinghua University that Wu Mi was passionately in love with at that time. At this time, Wu Mi knew from the attitude of the other party that the marriage of the two couples would end in vain.According to Haoyu, a professor of physics at Tsinghua University, the reason why Ye Qisun did not marry was because he secretly fell in love with his widowed wife who had been a widow for a long time.This statement was later denied by Ye Minghan, Ye's nephew, who said that Ye and his sister-in-law had no emotional entanglements.But whether there is love or not, it is a fact that Ye has never married. Since politics is beyond the reach of Ye Qisun, a person who "does not know new things and new logic", it is tragic that after being propped up on the wall in a daze, he does not know how to look at the wind and see the water, and use hooks and pincers left and right. fate is inevitable.As early as January 19, 1949, when Qian Junrui and Zhang Zonglin, representatives of the Cultural Takeover Committee of the Beiping Military Control Commission of the Communist Party of China, led their troops to Tsinghua Garden to take over the formal takeover amid sporadic gunfire, Ye Qisun stood quietly watching outside the courtyard He couldn't help thinking about it, and once said to one of his close friends: "In the Kuomintang in 1927, there were some people like Zhang Daofan, who were just like today's Qian Junrui, full of vigor, and looked young and promising. , but then it went bad." Zhang Daofan was the one who studied painting in France when he was young, but failed to pursue Cai Weilian, and then took revenge secretly as the head of the propaganda department of the Kuomintang Central Committee.Later, as a married man, the bureaucrat who ran to Taiwan with Xu Beihong's former wife Jiang Biwei in his arms.Ye Qisun made such a comparison, which shows what kind of psychology and impression he has when he receives the senior officials in front of him.Also in this year, some students of Tsinghua University were forced to conduct self-examination in order to eliminate the influence of their families on them.Ye Qisun was quite dissatisfied, and said: "The self-censorship of the Communist Party is a bit like the confession of Christianity and Catholicism. If the professors of Tsinghua University are allowed to do the same, many people may commit suicide." Prophecy. In 1950, after the outbreak of the Korean War, Ye Qisun believed that it was "a strategic consideration of the United States, and it was a war against the Soviet totalitarian conspiracy" and asserted that "the war will never be eliminated. After the imperialism is eliminated, the Communist Party will fight again." , Yugoslavia is an example".He also said: "The Communist Party's newspapers are too mean, such words as 'American prostitutes' should not be written." Accused Feng of "writing too much."Following the "Thought Remolding Movement" and the movement to criticize Hu Shi's thoughts in the autumn of 1951, the performance of Ye Qisun, the nominally supreme leader of Tsinghua University, "disappointed" the authorities.Not only did he not reform his own thinking according to the intention of the authorities, and scolded "reactionary literati" such as Hu Shi and Fu Sinian, he also ignorantly advocated among teachers and students "free and democratic teaching and scientific research in colleges and universities" and other fashionable "class struggles". , "collectivism" and other political slogans opposed to the idea.When the list of presidents and vice presidents of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was published, Ye Qisun said to one of his colleagues: "Chen Boda's appointment as vice president shows that the Communist Party must control the work of the Academy of Sciences." In his ideology, academics are Independent and should not be mixed with partisan elements.At the same time, Ye also unknowingly advocated "independent thinking in everything", saying that this is true for academics, as well as for political issues and so on. Ye Qisun's remarks and behavior finally angered the authorities, and the top leaders of the CCP ordered Tsinghua teachers and students to launch "storm-style criticism" against him. Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Ye felt a little enlightened and was forced to make a "deep review" at the meeting.A group of Tsinghua "progressive" teachers and students who gained enlightenment in the "spiritual bath" accused Ye with "deep proletarian feelings" of "running Tsinghua from a bourgeois point of view and inheriting Mei Yiqi's decadent tradition and legacy." .Amidst the shouting and beating, Ye Qisun was kicked out of the stage. At the same time as the approval of Ye, the Ministry of Education began to make major adjustments to colleges and universities across the country because the CCP advocated learning from the Soviet education model. On June 27, 1952, the Preparatory Committee for the Adjustment of Colleges and Departments of Beijing-Tianjin Colleges and Tsinghua University was established, with Liu Xianzhou as the chairman and Qian Weichang and Chen Shihua as the vice-chairmen.After Liu Xianzhou, a professor at the School of Engineering who was originally from the mechanical department, was appointed to the position, the first thing he did was to order Ye Qisun to "should ask the Ministry of Education for punishment." Ye Qisun, who had fallen from power, after repeated self-criticisms, finally had the "organization" come forward to make a conclusive tone: "He has lost his prestige in Tsinghua University. Therefore, he plans not to use mass meetings to criticize him, and plans to find some people to help him. Let him do it once, if there is no change, just drag his tail through the test, and then patiently educate him in the long run..." This conclusion is actually a quiet and murderous cryptic.Since then, Ye Qisun has embarked on a lonely journey full of dangers and life hanging by a thread. In October 1952, the school adjustment was basically completed.According to the order of the Ministry of Education, Tianjin Nankai University was changed from private to national, and it is a university directly under the Ministry of Education.Tsinghua University, which was founded by U.S. imperialism, naturally belongs to the focus of adjustment and "liquidation". The three colleges of Liberal Arts, Law, and Science were cut off and merged into Peking University. What Tsinghua got was only a small engineering college of Peking University.Tsinghua University can only be an engineering university, standing alone on one leg in the wind and rain, and surviving alone in the cold autumn.As the source of the "May 4th Movement" and the "cradle of revolution", Peking University became the biggest beneficiary, not only annexing the three colleges of Tsinghua University, but also annexing the school property and all the faculty, staff and students of the famous Yenching University .Since then, Peking University has successively withdrew its first, second, and third courtyards in the city center with the Red Building on the Beach as its main base, and moved all of them to the former Yenching University campus in Haidian Town, a suburb of the city, and became a close neighbor of Tsinghua University across the road.It is said that at the end of the 1980s, an internationally renowned Chinese scholar, admiring the names of Cai Yuanpei, Fu Sinian and other seniors, went to Peking University in Haidian Town to pay homage to the "May 4th Cradle". It can be seen from this joke that the reason why the former Yenching University and the former Peking University had a school property dispute, and the lawsuit has been going on until the 21st century has not been resolved).Of course, Peking University also has its losses. For example, in the name of adjustment, the upper-level decision-makers took the opportunity to transfer professors who belonged to Hu Shi’s faction out of Peking University. Transferred to the Institute of Linguistics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zheng Tianting to Nankai University in Tianjin, Yang Zhensheng to Northeast Renmin University, etc., to eliminate Hu Shi's influence to the greatest extent. According to the adjustment policy of the Ministry of Education at that time, when Tsinghua handed over the three colleges, it must also hand over all the Chinese and French books in the collection to Peking University.Colleagues at Tsinghua University believed that they had made no major mistakes, but because the relationship with the United States was closer than other national schools, they were the most injured in this adjustment. It can be said that they lost their wives and lost their soldiers. Half of the temple was ruined, and the monks in the temple had little place to hide and practice the scriptures, so they began to spread resentment and angry words on the Ministry of Education, especially Liu Xianzhou, who was in charge of Tsinghua University.For a while, Liu Dun became a street mouse, everyone shouted and beat him, and he was disheartened all day long, which greatly affected his work.Under such circumstances, on December 4, with the approval of the Central People's Government Committee, Jiang Nanxiang, a 38-year-old former Tsinghua student and underground member of the Communist Party of China, was appointed as the president of Tsinghua University, and Liu Xianzhou was appointed as the vice president.As soon as the young and energetic Jiang Nanxiang took office, with a fierce style and the might of a newborn calf, he immediately ordered the interception of Chinese and French books in the library that were about to be transported to Peking University.It was these precious books that failed to flow away, laying a secret path for Tsinghua to resume liberal arts smoothly after more than 30 years.Later, with far-reaching foresight and grandeur, Jiang Nanxiang once again demonstrated his supernatural powers. On the basis of Tsinghua Park, he strived to expand to the south and east, and pushed the eastern railway out of the newly planned campus with his amazing handling ability. .As a result, the Tsinghua Garden covers a huge area, becoming the largest garden-style campus unrivaled in mainland China.This decision and achievement paved the way for Tsinghua's overall revival 40 years later. With the completion of the adjustment of departments, the entire Tsinghua University was led by Soviet experts with high noses and deep eyes, who were in the shape of wine bags and rice bags, and revolutionaries in Chinese tunic suits. Abandoned, Tsinghua teachers and students started a new era of Marxist-Leninist school governance. When this new era came, Ye Qisun had been transferred to the Department of Physics of Peking University as an ordinary professor and began to give lectures on basic courses such as "Optics".At this time, not many people took him seriously, and even forgot that this old man with graying hair was a great master of Chinese physics.It was not until many years later that people suddenly remembered that Ye Qisun, whose tomb had been arched, turned out to be the father and ancestor of China's "two bombs and one satellite". Among the scientists awarded the One-Star Merit Medal, 9 are his students, 2 are his students' students, and the careers of the other 2 academicians (faculty members) are closely related to him. Ye Qisun, in a series of political and ideological "reforms" and "baths", despite the humiliation of being forced to bow his head and confess his guilt to the revolutionary masses countless times, finally broke through the encirclement, survived by luck, and started his beloved career.With the outbreak of the "Cultural Revolution" and the imprisonment of Lu Zhengcao, Minister of Railways, the Central Military Commission set up a task force to investigate Lu's problems, and a "mysterious figure" unknown to the world was involved. A hidden disaster broke out, and Ye Qisun's bad luck fell from the sky. This mysterious figure is Ye Qisun's student Xiong Dazhen. Xiong Dazhen was born in Xinzha Road, Shanghai in 1913. He was admitted to Tsinghua University from the High School Attached to Beijing Normal University in 1931. The next year he entered the Physics Department and began to listen to Ye Qisun's courses.Xiong's handsome, smart and understanding, quickly caught Ye's attention, and because Xiong and Ye spoke Shanghai together, they became more intimate with each other.During the four years from 1933 to 1936, every summer vacation, Ye took bears to other places to "tour the mountains and rivers". In the summer of 1935, Xiong graduated from the Physics Department of Tsinghua University. His graduation thesis was "Infrared Light Photography" directed by Ye.Under Ye's recommendation, Xiong Yu stayed at the school as a teaching assistant in the autumn of the same year, and as Ye's assistant, he lived in the home of Ye Qisun, who was still single, and the friendship between teachers and students was very strong. In 1937, when the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out and Pingjin fell, Ye Qisun secretly went to Tianjin with the teachers and students of Tsinghua University in mid-August to prepare to go south.While waiting for the boat, Ye got paratyphoid and had to be admitted to Tianjin Hospital for treatment.During the treatment, he received a secret telegram from Nanjing from Mei Yiqi, ordering him to stay in Tianjin and organize some staff to receive the faculty and staff of Tsinghua University who were transferred to the south via Tianjin. After being discharged from the hospital, he moved to the office of the Tsinghua Alumni Association established in Tianjin, where he recuperated and presided over the reception.Xiong Dazhen, as Ye's assistant, accompanied him around, and came forward to deal with tedious matters such as board and lodging reception, buying boat tickets, and sending to the station.After the old calendar year, most of Tsinghua's faculty and staff had gone south, and it was no longer necessary for Ye to stay behind, so he prepared to go south.At this time, he heard that Tsinghua University and Peking University, which had already moved to Changsha, wanted to move to Kunming from Changsha. Ye decided to slow down his actions so that he could go directly to Kunming without passing through Changsha.In the gap of the lingering time, an unexpected event happened that determined the fate of master and apprentice Ye and Xiong.
