Chapter 20 Section 2 The Mystery of Jiang Menglin Farewell to Peking University

It was the difficult life and difficult situation in Kunming that finally led to a great change in Jiang Menglin's thinking and outlook on life.The president of Peking University was noisy among the scholars, and it looked lively and beautiful, but in the end he was still a Confucian scholar and a poor scholar.According to the division of social classes in ancient times, among the three religions and nine streams, Confucian scholars were included in the "middle stream" of the nine streams.In the Yuan Dynasty, the government divided the conquered subjects into ten grades or "ten streams" according to their occupations: one official, two officials, three monks, four Taoists, five doctors, six workers, seven craftsmen, and eight prostitutes. , Nine Confucianists, and Ten Beggars.At this time, the Confucian scholars had become out-and-out "stinky old nine", after the prostitutes, they were not even as good as a prostitute. The beggars were sent to the big prison, and they enjoyed the treatment of tiger stools and chili soup), and became door-to-door, eye-to-eye brothers with the beggars.As the president of a university, he is almost a leader of a gang of beggars. He has no real status and glory to speak of, and his desolation was especially obvious in Kunming during the war. In December 1943, Jiang Menglin, who was in Kunming, used his time in the air-raid shelter to write and complete the autobiographical memoir "Western Tide" in English.Between writing, he once wrote to Hu Shi, who was serving as an ambassador in the United States, hoping that the other party could help correct the mistakes.When talking about writing in English instead of Chinese, the superficial reason is that the words written in English are easier to read under the condition of insufficient light in the air-raid shelter, but the inner motivation is still for the convenience of publishing in the United States.At this time, Jiang's five children were all studying in school, and the expenses were quite high. All of them were supported by the meager income of himself and his wife. Therefore, while asking Hu Shi to correct him, he also hoped that the other party would try to help find a publisher in the United States to publish as soon as possible, so that "I can earn some manuscript fees to support my family."Jiang believed that in the poverty-stricken situation at that time, "if you can touch a few pennies so that the soul of the whole family will not be separated from the body, it will be an unexpected gain."As the president of National Peking University, it is really embarrassing to be so embarrassed.

In stark contrast to the living conditions of Southwest Associated University professors, including Jiang Menglin, Mei Yiqi and other principal-level figures, in the rear of the Anti-Japanese War, there was also the phenomenon of "the smell of wine and meat from rich families".As the president of a prestigious university, sometimes it is unavoidable to attend some official and wealthy gatherings. Jiang Menglin did not keep many records of the scenes of these gatherings and the extravagance of the banquets, but some clues can be found from Mei Yiqi's diary.For example, on October 13, 1941, May wrote in her diary:

In the evening, Zeng Yangfu entertained guests at his office (No. 3 Taihefang). Minister Yu was the host and guest, and there were Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, Mr. and Mrs. Jin, and Mr. Shu of the Road Bureau.Dishes include roast suckling pig, sea cucumber, and shark's fin; wine includes Brandy, Whiskey; smoke includes State Express.Apart from eating and drinking, I can't help feeling ashamed. Zeng Yangfu is a native of Pingyuan, Guangdong. After graduating from Beiyang University, he studied in the United States. After returning to China, he served as the mayor of Guangzhou Special City and the director of the Guangdong Department of Finance. In 1934, he initiated the construction of the Qiantang River Bridge. Help a lot.At that time, he served as the supervisor of the Yunnan-Myanmar Railway Supervision Office of the Ministry of Communications.The Jiang couple mentioned in the diary are Jiang Menglin and Tao Zenggu.Faced with such a sumptuous food and drink, Mei Yiqi felt deeply "ashamed", but at the same time, she didn't know how the Jiang couple felt. It should feel very refreshing, at least Tao Zenggu felt this way in his heart.

On January 27, 1943, Mei Yiqi's day recorded: In the evening, I went to Li Xiyao and his wife for a meal appointment. The host and guest were senior military officers from various ministries of the United States. There were forty or fifty male and female guests. On October 31, 1945, Mei Yiqi wrote again: In the afternoon, before the Standing Committee, I asked Meng Zhen to talk about the demobilization of the two schools.We will leave before seven o'clock, and go to Duan Kechang (Xiaofeng) for a meal appointment, because the invitation card has not written "madame", so I go by myself.His guests are Wei and his wife, Liang Huasheng and his wife, Mrs. Guan and Mrs. Qiu.The dishes are very good, there are all kinds of money fish, beifeng mushrooms, deer tendons, bear paws, etc., too many to enjoy.

When Duan Kechang was the army supply supervisor (later the director), his job title was a typical fat job, which can be seen from the rare deer tendon and bear's paw in the dishes.This banquet also corresponded to the popular saying at that time, "the front is tight, and the rear is tight".This situation is exactly what Wang Li, a professor at the United Nations University, said: "The opposite of frozen bones on the road is the smell of rich wine and meat. You don't need to study economics. Everyone can understand that the smellier the wine and meat of the rich, the worse the frozen bones on the road." A lot." Nothing.

However, these banquets are only superficially extravagant. As for the embezzlement and bribery of high-ranking officials, it is even more shocking to the world. In 1945, Jiang Menglin's family and friend, former famous professor of Tsinghua University, and later Director of Political Affairs of the Executive Yuan, Jiang Tingfu, was transferred to be the director of the Relief Administration. His level of luxury and style was lower than that of his nephew, Jiang Jinan, who grew up with Jiang Tingfu. It can be seen in the "An Open Letter to Jiang Tingfu" published by "People's Daily".Jiang Jinan said: "The General Relief Administration is full of shady scenes, such as giving people away by car. Song Ziwen took a large number of refrigerators to his private mansion. The relief supplies were sold and eaten. The bad part was thrown into the sea (throwing into the sea is also good) Later, someone complained), and gave part of it to the common people. When you went to Hunan, Yu Jichuan (director of the Hunan branch) prepared for a long time to "welcome" you, and spent 20 million yuan (equivalent to ten major movies at the time) The price of a new truck). Corruption cases of the Kuomintang government are everywhere, and the relief administration is the worst, including Americans. Zhimada officials also have a large house and a car. Look, Fuzhou Road 122 How many cars are parked on the 10th? The house at 570 Jianguo West Road is Wang Jingwei's "mansion". As soon as the car honked, the workers came out and lined up to welcome you!" At this time, Jiang Tingfu's style and the money he accepted had far exceeded the "small box with gifts from officials and bad rules" that Jiang Menglin had started when he saw the school platform in his hometown. fleet".Although Jiang Menglin did not see the grand and luxurious scene of Jiang Tingfu's return home and the bribes he received in private, similar phenomena are everywhere, and Jiang Menglin is not unfamiliar.The dazzling money, the spacious and bright bungalows, plus the fragrant cars and beauties, all of these are the raw materials and living role models that stimulate Jiang Menglin's heart and lungs. , So I had the dream of giving up my studies in the later years of my life to pursue politics, and reaching out for a hand at the last moment when the sun was setting.And all this is exactly the happy life that his wife Tao Zenggu longs for day and night.

In addition to the pressure caused by poverty, and the dream of making a fortune in the later stages of life after giving birth under such high pressure, there is another complex in Jiang's heart that cannot be avoided, and that is the fear and disgust of the student movement.With the advent of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Jiang Menglin, relying on more than ten years of experience and profound insight in running Peking University, deeply felt that the Southwest Associated University was in chaos, and the unstoppable student storm was coming. He was exhausted physically and mentally, and he no longer had the energy and mood. Involved in this uncertain political movement.

In 1919, when the May 4th Movement, which shocked the whole country, broke out, Cai Yuanpei resigned and quietly left Beijing after rescuing the students arrested by the authorities in order to prevent further expansion of the situation. He ran all the way from Tianjin and Shanghai to Hangzhou, where he lived in seclusion at a friend’s house .Not long after, Jiang Menglin, who was in the south at the time, met with Cai Yuanpei in a secret room by the West Lake. Cai confessed to Jiang his worries about the future of Peking University. ——Because the students are likely to be intoxicated by this victory, "Since they have tasted the taste of power, their desires will be stronger and harder to satisfy in the future."If this continues, the consequences are unimaginable.It was also this secret meeting that prompted Jiang Menglin to muster up his courage. Together with Zhang Guotao, the representative of the student union who came to persuade him to drive, he took the train to Peking University to act as Cai Yuanpei's principal. The beginning of Luo Jialun and other May Fourth Movement athletes.After the main school, Jiang contacted Hu Shi and other professors and talked about the current situation, and the other party also expressed the same worries as Cai Yuanpei.

Worries quickly became reality. After the small victory in the "May 4th Movement", Peking University students were really intoxicated by their success.Jiang Menglin was surprised to find that "students in the school have replaced the power of the school authorities to hire or fire teachers. If what they want is not met, they will go on strike and make trouble. If the teachers take strict exams or agree to stricter exam discipline, the students will immediately go on strike against them." They ask the school to subsidize travel expenses during spring break, to subsidize student activities, to distribute free handouts. In short, they ask the school for anything, but never consider their obligations to the school. They are addicted to power and selfish to the extreme. Some people As soon as the 'school rules' are mentioned, they will stare, pout their mouths, and gnash their teeth, ready to hit someone at any time."This situation did not change after Cai Yuanpei returned to Peking University to take charge of the school in September of the same year. In October 1922, the Peking University Professor Council passed a measure requiring students to pay lecture fees. This move made some students furious, and they immediately rose up. This provision.Cai Yuanpei rushed to the scene after hearing the news and told the demonstrators that they must obey the school rules, but the students who were inflated by power and desire in the victory no longer paid attention to the "father of Peking University" who transformed the old Peking University into a new one. , continued to shout slogans and swarmed into classrooms and offices with claws and claws, looking around for the person who advocated this "hateful rule" to settle accounts, vowing to smash his "dog head".Cai Yuanpei saw that the other party was so arrogant that he even pushed his nose to face, so he changed his usual gentle and refined face, his eyes widened, rolled his sleeves high above his elbows, shook his fists, and yelled sternly He said: "You cowards, please stand up and fight with me if you have the courage. If any of you dare to touch the teacher, I will beat him!"

Cai Yuanpei approached the demonstrating students a few steps, and the other party retreated a few steps, but still formed a semicircle, like a pack of wolves besieging a tiger, eager to try but dare not attack by force, and the two sides fell into an inextricable deadlock.In this embarrassing situation, thanks to the dean of Peking University, Gu Mengyu, who heard the news and said that the fees would be postponed, the tense situation was eased. ——Of course, the students understood that the so-called postponement meant cancellation, and the demonstrators once again achieved a "victory".This incident left a deep impression on Jiang Menglin, and he clearly remembered that there was a tall young man who had been hiding behind the crowd and secretly inciting the students to shout loudly during the chaos.Later, the school expelled some of the students who made the most trouble, but this naughty young man slipped through the net and remained unscathed.Many years later, Jiang Menglin found him by chance. He has become a slick politician and a corrupt official.It is said that this person died shortly after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, leaving behind a lot of illegal money.In this regard, Jiang Menglin came to a conclusion, that is, those guys who are always scheming in life will most likely become the scum and bad elements of society.

When Jiang Menglin officially took charge of Peking University, the student movement became more and more fierce, and there was a movement against him.The cause of this trend was that Jiang refused the students' request. Some students closed the school gate in anger, and locked Jiang Menglin in the principal's office to show color.In the tense situation, Hu Shi, dean of Peking University's School of Liberal Arts, asked Jiang if he needed to call the police for rescue, but Jiang refused.After the gate was closed for more than two hours, due to too many teachers and students who needed to go in and out, and under the pressure of scolding, shoving and even fighting, the students who took the lead in making trouble had to reopen the school gate to let the crowd in and out. Rescued from office by faculty members.But the troublemakers still followed closely, yelling and cursing endlessly. In the end, several students who took the lead in making trouble were expelled by the school council. Regarding the outbreak of the student unrest and the intoxication of the students, Jiang Menglin believes that most of the students started out out of patriotic enthusiasm. At first, they marched, demonstrated, went on strike and boycotted Japanese goods, and then turned to attack the Beijing government, because they believed that everything was wrong. Out of the Beijing government.When it is found that there are no important international issues or domestic issues sufficient to attack, then it turns around and confronts the school authorities.The main reason for all this is the psychological instability of young people. Once stimulated to take action, this unstable emotion will explode, and it is extremely difficult for the school authorities to suppress this surging emotion.As with students, so it is with workers.They are mentally unbalanced due to unsatisfactory life or too much labor intensity. When they can't find someone to vent and demonstrate, they vent their grievances on their employers.but.It is much easier for the central or local government to deal with those striking workers than it is with students.Sometimes it is suppressed by force, and sometimes it is simply shot with machine guns.Later, Duan Qirui's government believed that machine guns were the only way to deal with all mass movements. When a group of students surrounded the government, they were brutally shot by machine guns. The famous "March 18" tragedy in 1926, Jiang Menglin was a personal experiencer. He said in his later memories: "I had received news before the event that the government had ordered that if the students surrounded the government, the army would shoot. Therefore I warned the students not to take risks, and tried to prevent them from participating, but they had already assembled in the school for departure, but they refused to listen to my advice. As soon as they reached the Consulate, bullets fell on their heads like raindrops." As a result, "more than 100 students were killed or injured in this disaster, and more than 20 dead bodies were left in the square in front of Duan's official residence, and dozens of others died on the way to the hospital or on the operating table."The brutal actions of Duan Qirui's government aroused widespread protests from people from all walks of life across the country. This was one of the important reasons why the Duan government finally collapsed. In addition to targeting the government, the seemingly perpetually aroused students often took aim at Congress, the so-called "corrupt house" composed of "piggy" MPs.Jiang Menglin clearly remembers that one afternoon, thousands of male and female students surrounded the Congress, demanding that several education-related bills be canceled on the agenda. As a result, the students clashed with the guarding police.A few students got angry and smuggled three bombs from Tianjin a few days later to blow up the parliament, but "we dissuaded us from doing this, and finally no action was taken, and the bombs were transported out of the city and thrown into the river. A few weeks later, a fisherman picked up one of the bombs and shook it in his hand, hoping to find out what was inside. There was a bang, and the bomb exploded, sending the curious fisherman aback. Human flesh and blood were flying everywhere. The police believed that the bomb was dropped on the river during the revolution, so no investigation was carried out at all.”Peking University authorities and the students who carried the bomb escaped a catastrophe. Facing all kinds of student riots and violent and anti-violent actions, Jiang Menglin, who recalled the past ten years later in the Kunming air-raid shelter with a bleak and dim rapeseed oil lamp, concluded quite insightfully: "Students are so powerful and arrogant. Domineering, in addition to the reasons I mentioned earlier, another reason is that most of these students were the children of the ruling class at that time. The students' resistance movement can also be said to be the resistance of children to their parents. The most difficult problem for parents is Dealing with rebellious children, especially those who are supported by their neighbors. The situation is different for workers. Their parents or relatives are neither government officials nor social celebrities, so they hit They are doomed to be whipped by the police or bayonets by the army. Only under the leadership of the students or in cooperation with the students can the workers show greater strength.” Jiang’s words can be said to hit the nail on the head and hit the nail on the head, truly expressing the student movement at that time and the internal causes of social formation.As the tide of students continues to surge one after another, the teachers who originally hid behind the scenes and secretly manipulated and agitated, because of wage arrears, reforms, and corruption by bureaucrats, stepped forward one after another to keep up with the times and complained to the school authorities. Or the government publicly calls out Baner.For example, in June 1921, hundreds of faculty members from Peking University and seven other national colleges started an upsurge in "the issue of rice bowls" (in the words of Chen Duxiu), until they went to the Presidential Palace to petition for wage arrears, resulting in bloodshed.Surrounded by a large group of students, the teachers came to the Ministry of Education in a mighty manner, forcing the senior officials of the Ministry and the principals of the eight schools who came to mediate after hearing the news to go to the presidential palace to petition.As a result, when Ma Linyi, the vice-minister of the Ministry of Education, and the principals of the eight schools were dragged by teachers and students to the front of the presidential palace, the silent door burst open, and a large number of armed military police swarmed out. Random chopping.Older teachers and female students fell into the ditch where the turbid water wandered. Some were covered in mud, some had blood on their faces, screaming and crying, making a mess.Wang Jiaju, the president of Thammasat University, was lying on the ground like a dead man, his chaotic footsteps trampled over his face, and he was almost trampled into a meat pancake.The leader, Ma Xulun (Yi Chu), a professor of the Chinese Department of Peking University, had a swollen forehead from the beating, bleeding from his nostrils, and screamed.For this bloody incident, Hu Shi, who has always disapproved of making troubles, recorded in his diary afterwards with some self-blame: "I have been too 'bad' in the past year and a half. Because it was too bad, we let Ma Yichu led everyone to run around, to hell!" Jiang Menglin said with deep feeling: "During the eventful years, almost every month did not have one or two riots, either a strike or a strike. It was really nerve-wracking to be a university president at that time. The government only happened by accident. Disbursement of funds, often one or two years in arrears. Students demand more freedom of movement, while the government demands maintenance of order. Strictly observe discipline, and when something goes wrong, the principal is responsible, whether on or off campus. Marches, demonstrations, or riots occur At that time, everyone immediately went to the principal, either to stop one side or to help the other. Every time the phone rang, he was startled. The only reward for his busy days and nights was his rapidly growing gray hair. Jiang Menglin, who is already 58 years old and squatting in the underground air-raid shelter in Kunming, sighed and said to this unbearable period of time: "After I wrote down these past events, I had another nightmare. Sometimes I saw young men and women lying dead on the streets of Beijing. , Sometimes I saw military police surround Peking University and demanded to hand over mass leaders. After waking up from the dream, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and as soon as I closed my eyes, scenes of tragedies reappeared.” The so-called thinking day by day and dreaming at night, Jiang Menglin's statement is not false, it should be the result of hard thinking and anxiety.At this time, the Southwest Associated University is no longer what it used to be. Partisan infiltration and various political forces have intervened, making the originally relatively peaceful campus turbulent, turbulent, and bloody and dream-shattering will happen at some point. event.At this time, Jiang was quite displeased with the arrogance of the so-called leftist literati in Southwest Associated University, such as Wen Yiduo and Wu Han, and deeply felt that Southwest Associated University was under the secret manipulation of Wen, Wu and other "alternative" figures. , has been involved in the vortex of partisan political struggle and cannot extricate himself, and the bloody atmosphere has been permeating the entire UNU campus.Facing this dangerous and unpredictable situation, Jiang Menglin felt that it was too late for sangyu, and the cold autumn was approaching, and he was no longer able to contend and deal with it. He gradually lost confidence in the situation of the United Nations General Assembly, and finally had the idea of ​​what Fu Sinian said. The decadent thinking of "there is no way out under the UNGA situation, and everything depends on the future", and the negative psychology of "There is no hope for Peking University".Under the influence of this pessimistic and decadent psychology, Jiang began to plan for his own future and considered ways to get out.Because of these reasons, Fu Sinian said in his letter to Hu Shi that the relationship between Jiang and the Peking University professor became more and more "not harmonious". In addition to the above reasons and psychological motives, there is another thing that makes Jiang Menglin feel psychologically frightened. In troubled times, if they meet a kind and generous master, the intellectuals can still survive, or even survive in groups of five.And once you encounter Qin Shihuang who burned books and robbed Confucianism, or a new master who is worse and more domineering than Qin Shihuang, then it is not an "intellectual reform movement" to end.If you are not careful, you will be imprisoned, or even be wiped out.At this turbulent turning point in history, it is much more stable and safer to be a boring aide or helper of the government than to be the leader of a precarious and busy "beggar gang".This time he entered the Song Ziwen shogunate, maybe through the mediation of the Song family, he could climb the ladder to the sky and pick the moon, and earn more high-ranking officials and generous salary, so as to obtain the "Fengzang" of the hometown school that he yearned for in childhood. Mysterious gift inside the box". ——It was precisely with such a brilliant dream that Jiang Menglin ignored the efforts of his colleagues at Peking University and his friends in Shilin to dissuade him, and was willing to work like a dog in the small court of the Song Dynasty and put his relationship on the line.As for where Peking University will go after the disintegration of the Southwest Associated University, whether there is hope or "no hope", whether it is life or death, Jiang Menglin, who has determined to become the master of the Song family temple, can't care much. Amidst the regret, confusion, and even resentment and reprimands from the academic circles, the national government removed Jiang Menglin from the post of president of Peking University in August of the same year.Instigated by Chiang Kai-shek, the government wanted to appoint Fu Sinian, who had the reputation of a "big gun", as the president of Peking University in order to maintain the situation.The reason why Chiang Kai-shek asked Fu Sinian to come forward to clean up the mess of the UNGA and preside over the demobilization work of Peking University was not in a moment of enthusiasm, but after some deliberation.Fu Sinian himself is a liberal intellectual and a representative of high prestige in the intellectual group, but Fu also has a personality of being enthusiastic about public affairs and hating evil as much as his hatred. As he said in his letter to Hu Shi, he often messes with public affairs It became his own business, and finally became a person who "is both an official and a learner".It was precisely Fu's prestige, character, and loyal support for the government that made Chiang Kai-shek make such a decision.As early as February 26, 1945, Tang Zong, a senior staff member of Chiang Kai-shek’s attendant office, was ordered to have a conversation with Tao Xisheng, a former professor of Peking University, then chief editor of Central Daily, and an authoritative theorist of the Kuomintang, on the relationship between intellectuals and the government. .Tang Zong made such a record that day: "Talking with Xisheng to transfer the dislike of liberals towards the government, Xisheng thinks Hu Shizhi is the most suitable person, but it is a pity that Shizhi can't return. Secondly, Fu Sinian also has a lot of influence on the Southwest Associated University. If liberal thinkers can understand the government, young students will not be fooled by the Communist Party." While Dow's opinion was accepted by Tang Zong, it would naturally have an impact on Chiang Kai-shek.A few months later, Fu Sinian, who was in a chaotic world, was entrusted with important tasks due to historical turmoil, but his mind was still calm. Hu Shi, an academic leader much more prestigious than himself, is far away in the United States, and Hu Shi is the "most appropriate person" to clean up the mess of Southwest Associated University and revive Peking University—even though Fu Sinian didn't know what Tao Xisheng said to Tang Zong, and even It is not the so-called "heroes see the same thing", because Hu Shi's status in the academic circle is well known.Just as Hu Shi did not dare to ignore the existence of Wang Guowei and Liang Qichao when the Tsinghua Research Institute was established, Fu also did not dare to ignore the existence of Hu Shi, a tall figure. A peek at the number one chair at Peking University.Therefore, Fu Sui suggested to Zhu Jiahua that Hu Shi, who is highly respected, should return to China to preside over the affairs of Peking University.Hearing this, Zhu Wen, out of complicated considerations, disapproved of Hu Shi, and expressed indifference to Fu's recommendation.But Fu Sinian did not take office, and Zhu was very embarrassed, so he had to shirk that this move was based on the will of Jie Gong, the supreme leader of the party and state, and he should not change it without authorization, otherwise he would be "crime of deceiving the emperor". He played Ming Jiegong himself, and had nothing to do with the Ministry of Education.Fu Sinian felt that Zhu's remarks were evasive, but he still did not change his original intention. He was determined to let Mr. Hu, whom he respected, take the top spot in Peking University. On August 17, Fu Sinian decided to give it a try, and wrote a letter to Chiang Kai-shek himself, expressing emotion and reason, and excused himself for not daring to take on such a reputation and burden.The book says: Yesterday, Mr. Zhu Changliuxian, in honor of his life, said that Mr. Jiang Menglin's president of Peking University was vacant, that is to say, he was lacking in his year.Mr. Liuxian encouraged him again and again, saying that it was difficult for him to force it out of Junju.Fu (husband) Sisi's innocence, when he was worthy of being outspoken, every time he said something more, he was heard in the dust; he was not reprimanded, but he was treated with courtesy and courtesy, and he was sincerely grateful for a long time.Today, I am favored again, and I am grateful for the experience, and I will never forget it.However, Si Nian was endowed with electricity and knew that he could not bear the burden of world affairs. In the past thirty years, his ambition of reading and writing has not been changed.It is only a fallacy because the country is difficult and I dare not let myself go.Today, the moon is full of light, and I am lucky to fulfill my original intention. If I do things suddenly, I will be exhausted.Also, Si Nian suffers from malignant hypertension. In the past five years, the danger is becoming more and more serious every year. The doctor warned that if you don't listen, accidents will happen.This is the case, so after the triumph and jubilation, I also thought about finding a way to rest and recuperate, and my family, relatives and friends took it for granted (yes).If you neglect school affairs, there will be accidents, so I ask the chairman for forgiveness. The few sentences that Fu Sinian said at the beginning have the characteristics of parallel prose in the Six Dynasties. Judging from the writing alone, although there are official formulas and flattery, they are not lacking in sincerity.As a veteran of writing essays, Fu's sense of proportion is just right. Whether it is self-effacing or flattering, he is not blunt. The other party must be very happy and willing to accept it.As for the sentences such as "every time with more and more points", I think they both tacitly understood that it was an allusion that Kong Xiangxi was dismissed from office, and that Kong Xiangxi lost his official title. The well-established Kong Group and its in-law Song Ailing made a painful choice.Whenever there is coercion in everything, the coerced person will naturally harbor resentment towards the coercioner, which is human nature.Although each understands it in their stomachs, they cannot explain it, and any explanation is self-defeating.Fu used this incident to subtly bring up the old story in a metaphorical way, obviously putting the other party in a situation where he could not return to the horse when he was running in the lane. Further understanding and relief.On Fu Sinian's side, it is not enough to just understand and let go of the past and his "loyalty". He must come up with strong reasons to make the other party take back his order while maintaining his authority and face. It can't be done, and he is angry or lost because of it, let alone give Jiang Gong the impression that Fu's move is arrogant, or even sitting on a sedan chair-the impression that he doesn't know how to praise.So Fu Sinian resorted to the trump card of "malignant hypertension" to keep it safe.Fu's statement was not deliberately mystical. Later, he went to Taiwan to serve as the president of National Taiwan University because of this illness and fell on the podium.When he was in Chongqing, Kong Xiangxi often told people, "I heard that Fu Sinian is dying", which is also due to this serious illness. I think Chiang Kai-shek will be a little moved and feel a little bit of understanding after reading this. Of course, the purpose of Fu Sinian's letter was not limited to this. According to the ancient saying that the rich water should not flow to outsiders' land, since the chair in the Juyi Hall is unwilling or inconvenient for him to sit on, and he can't make it easier for others, it is better for his brothers to sit on it.So there is this wonderful text: For those who have made progress, all the professors of Peking University and all relevant people hope that Mr. Hu Shizhi will be the president, and he will live a long time.Mr. Shizhi, who is a teacher of scholars and scholars, is well-known not only in China, but also in Britain and the United States, which is unprecedented.Now it is thought that the president of Peking University is not only admiring the beauty of public opinion in the school; even the national educational circles must also rejoice at the good stories of the Qing Dynasty; Proof that the Chinese government has taken a new direction;Mr. Shizhi's views are not quite the same as those of the government, but his patriotic courage, neutral temperament, and honest perception are rare in the world.In recent years, many people who have recuperated from illness and stayed in the United States, the government and society, consulted and learned about the past, are helpful to the country.Another example is the winter of the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, when Tufei originally came to Beiping, colluded with Xiao Zhenying and other traitors, and made it special in North China. At that time, the Central Army and the Party headquarters had been withdrawn for a long time. In other words, the dead envoy attempted to commit treachery and served as the Great Wall of the country until July 7th.Mr. Gai Shizhi's support for unity and opposition to feudalism, even though he has mixed opinions with the government, will definitely help the country at a critical juncture.In the future, Pingjin will still be a cultural center with many schools, but the situation is more complicated than before.There is Mr. Shizhi there, which is beneficial to the overall situation. Very different from ordinary recommendation letters, these words of Fu's have taken a lot of thought, which can be described as a hidden mystery.As a free intellectual, Hu Shi was not really liked by Chiang Kai-shek in many ways.However, Hu Shi used his identity as a "guest qing" to the Kuomintang government, "slightly scolding and greatly helping", and on a large scale, he was still on the same path with the Chiang regime. The direct lineage of the military academy is quite different.If Fu's letter did not have the following sentences, maybe Chiang Kai-shek would have to consider and weigh it. With these few sentences, the situation would become unusual.Fu Sinian implied swords in his silent transfer, and added weight to Hu Shi's past and future existence. His sharp and powerful writing style reminds people of Zhuge Kongming's "Longzhong Dui": According to the Han and Mian, the South China Sea is fully exploited, Wuhui is connected to the east, and Bashu is connected to the west. This is a country that uses military force, but its lord cannot defend it. The general led the army of Jingzhou to Xiangwan and Luo, and the general led the people of Yizhou to come out of Qinchuan. How dare the people not eat the pot of milk to meet the general? If so, then the hegemony can be achieved, and the Han Dynasty can Excited." Fu Sinian made a lot of maneuvers to raise Hu Shi's identity and status to the level that is indispensable for governing the country and the stability of the country, as well as the unshakable Dinghai Shenzhen that stands in the academic circles of Pingjin. If there is Hu Shi, there is Pingjin.Chiang Kai-shek believed it, so he decided to appoint Hu Shi as the president of Peking University. On September 4, the Nationalist Government issued an order: "Jiang Menglin, the president of National Peking University, petitioned to resign and be removed from his post, and Hu Shi was appointed as the president of National Peking University. Before Hu Shi took office, Fu Sinian was acting as his agent." Just like when Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang didn't expect that General Guan Yu, who was stationed as a festival guard, would carelessly miss Jingzhou.At this time, Chiang Kai-shek and Fu Sinian did not expect that three years later in the winter, Hu Shi, the leader of the academic circle stationed in Pingjin, abandoned the North in the torrent of Chishui and the smoke of gunfire and fled to the south in a panic, which once again staged a historical tragedy.
