Chapter 21 Section 3 Zhou Zuoren scolds Fu Sinian for "donkey braying"

Just when Fu Sinian, Zheng Tianting, and Zhou Binglin were full of grief and indignation at Jiang Menglin's resignation, Hu Shi, who was far away in the United States, always took a calm and objective attitude towards this change, and calmly excused Jiang in a peacemaker's tone, emphasizing that Menglin This move is actually a "recruitment for the government, it is only a temporary situation", so as to dissolve the complaints and indignation of the professors at Peking University.When the government announced that Hu Shi was appointed as the president of Peking University, Hu did not refuse, and his embarrassing situation in the United States did not allow him to refuse.Returning to China to take charge of Peking University, whether it is for Hu himself or the government, is the best chance to save his dignity and relieve his burden.But before officially leaving the mountain, just like the emperor's ascension to the throne in the past, there was a "persuasion" procedure, and the superficial "concession" article still needs to be done.Therefore, Hu Shi sent a telegram to Zhu Jiahua, Jiang Menglin (according to the south: Hu Wen called Meng Lin), and Fu Sinian:

Lessons from the three brothers Liu Xian, Meng Lin, and Meng Zhen: Jiang, Wei, and Yudian are respectful, and slowly reply and beg for forgiveness.The World Education Conference should be reluctantly attended.After 20 years of the Republic of China, Peking University was revived, and brother Menglin led the painstaking achievements. I know very well that the demobilization of Peking University still cannot do without the leadership of brother Menglin.Last month, I entrusted Zhang Zhongshu with a letter to work earnestly with colleagues from Peking University to express this intention.Brother Meng Lin's recruitment for the government is only temporary, and brother Meng Zhen is most grateful for his willingness to take care of the sick.In the future, when my brother returns to the country, if he has no other choice, he would like to share the work with Meng Zhen and take his place for a while, waiting for brother Meng Lin to return. I sincerely hope that I can check it out, and I beg to transfer it to Chairman Chen and Brother Yong Ni. To my colleagues at Peking University, I am most grateful.My younger brother has been abroad for eight years, and it will take some time to end. I plan to return to China by sea in February next year, and I have heard about it.

Brother Hu Shizheng (October 10th) sent out a telegram, and the etiquette was exhausted. Since he promised to take over for a while, the length of the "temporary" and when the power will return to the old master can only be determined by the destiny and human affairs.It was this telegram that meant that Jiang Menglin had completely separated from Peking University. At this time, Jiang might have expected that this farewell would be a permanent farewell, and he would never have the opportunity to return to the place where he had put in painstaking efforts and pains and was full of glory and dreams. of Peking University.

Because Hu Shi was still in the United States, before returning to China, the national government appointed Fu as the acting president of Peking University and hired him as a standing committee member of Southwest Associated University.Under such circumstances, according to Zhu Jiahua, Fu "had to reluctantly agree." On September 20, 1945, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Southwest Associated University and acting president of Peking University, Fu Sinian participated in the National Educational Rehabilitation and Demobilization Conference held in Chongqing.The meeting discussed and decided on the restoration of inland educational institutions and the rectification of educational order. The participants included Zhu Jiahua, Weng Wenhao, Li Shizeng, Jiang Tingfu and other big figures in politics and science.Fu was extremely active and emotionally pointing fingers at the meeting, and openly advised Zhu Jiahua. His appearance immediately aroused the resentment of a considerable number of participants.Jiang Tingfu, the former director of the History Department of Tsinghua University, who was the Chinese representative of the United Nations Rehabilitation and Relief Administration and the director of the National Government Rehabilitation and Relief Administration, hated Fu's aggressive behavior. Minister, Director-General of Academia Sinica, President of Peking University".After hearing this, Fu retorted, saying that he was only "Director of the Taishang Rehabilitation and Relief Administration".Seeing Fu's liver-colored face, Jiang Tingfu really got angry, fearing that something unexpected would happen and cause the other party's heart attack, so he stopped attacking.Afterwards, Fu Sinian expressed his grievances in a letter to his wife Yu Dacai: "The fact is that Liu Xian wanted to discuss with me, but (he) would not listen to it in seven or eight out of ten, but outsiders didn't know it and thought I was responsible for everything about him. "Whether Zhu Jiahua listens or not, Fu Sinian's attitude of being "too superior" is realistic.

Through this meeting, Fu Sinian became more aware of the complex situation in the education field and the dangers of factional struggles. In his letter to Zhou Binglin, Dean of Peking University Law School, he said worriedly: "My brother will act as an agent rashly. After half a year, we will suffer disaster." If you have to make an appointment with your elder brother, your younger brother will definitely jump off the fire! And the public should not stand on the top of the peak, please feel happy, unless everyone works hard and takes steps together, this situation will not be easy to maintain. There are many enemies in Peking University. Well, you can come to settle accounts at any time, and at this time, if you don’t fight outside, you will not be able to stand on your own. This especially makes me fight hard, but I have to guard against those who are afraid.” From this letter, it can be seen that Fu Sinian is ready to fight all the enemies of Peking University. ready.

On September 25, Chiang Kai-shek held a banquet and delivered a speech at the end of the meeting in the auditorium of the Military Commission. 3. Post-war construction should pay equal attention to agriculture and industry; 4. Future school development should pay equal attention to quality and quantity.The Chongqing Conference was a major turning point, which can be called a watershed in China's education and cultural circles. After crossing this mountain that marked the pre-war and post-war periods, the undercurrent and turbulent stream soon merged with the social tide, forming an overwhelming tide. Huge waves roared across the land of China.After the meeting, Fu Sinian appointed Peking University professors Chen Xueping and Zheng Tianting to travel from Kunming to Peiping to take over the property of Peking University and prepare for the demobilization of the school.When Chen and Zheng arrived in Peiping, the first thing they encountered was a headache. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937, the faculty, staff and students of Peking University went south in a hurry. The Japanese army who occupied Peking took advantage of the former Peking University campus and the books and equipment that had not been moved in time to establish a pseudo-"National Peking University". Education for enslavement.At that time, Tang Erhe, Qian Daosun, Bao Jianqing and other former professors of Tsinghua University and Peking University who stayed in Peking and gradually degenerated into traitors did not move south with the school. The former Peking University and Yenching University professors who did not move south, such as the younger brother Zhou Zuoren and the famous ancient artifacts and paleographer Rong Geng, also entered the water one after another. Zhou Zuoren became a fake Peking University professor and dean of the Faculty of Arts, and Rong served as a professor of the Faculty of Liberal Arts.This time, on the way to the north, Chen Xueping received an order from the Ministry of Education of the Nationalist Government to accept students from various schools in the Japanese and puppet schools in Peking, and to handle matters such as temporary university tuition classes in Peking.The overall policy is to accept all the students, regardless of whether it is a real Peking University or a fake Peking University, and then get the faculty and staff together to hold a study class, and then make a decision on whether to hire or not after identification.But this is quite different from Fu Sinian's thinking, which led to Chen and Zheng, who arrived in Beiping, to be at a loss as to what to do.

Fu Sinian has always hated Confucian scholars and literati who do not respect national integrity the most. His ancestor Fu Yijian did not lead the heroes in Liangshan to participate in the Anti-Qing and Restoration Movement. The poisoned wine brought by Song Jiang fell to the ground and the black iron copper-headed ax left behind in his hometown came to "expel the Tartars and restore China". He was the number one scholar in the court and became a high-ranking official in the Qing Dynasty. He has always been brooding and deeply ashamed.He hated his relatives, old friends, and colleagues who were at the same time as him. At the critical moment of national peril, he disregarded his reputation and national righteousness and was willing to be driven by Japanese goblins. Eat chili soup, or simply push out the gate and behead and then hurry up.According to Wang Chensen, a Fu Sinian research expert, who sorted out and studied the "Fu Sinian Archives" stored in the Taipei Institute of History and Philology, he found that many details are related to Fu's strong nationalist sentiments. For example, he deliberately collected a small bag of photos about Zheng Chenggong's tomb and ancestral temple. Inscribed on the back of one of the photos: "The location of the nationalist Zheng Chenggong's uprising is the Dongwen Temple in Nan'an County." Another example is that he wrote to Beiping immediately after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War to ask whether Wen Tianxiang Temple was safe. When the "false teacher" incident at Peking University was in full swing with the educational circles in Peiping, please visit Chiang Kai-shek in Peiping and visit Wenshi Temple with yourself, and take a photo under the plaque of "Eternal Gangchang".This kind of nationalist sentiment is also manifested in more subtle aspects. For example, when Fu Sinian took notes, he listed the history of Central Asia as "barbarian history"; When several Hu regimes in history were orthodox, they wrote a lot of eyebrow criticisms to denounce Ling.In addition, it also developed nationalist sentiments into rejection and competition for missionary schools.Back then, Fu Sinian, Chen Yinke and others tried their best to purchase the Ming and Qing cabinet archives from the Forbidden City with huge sums of money. One of the big reasons was that they were afraid that these precious materials would end up in the hands of Yenching University, especially the Japanese.What's more, Fu Sinian once said that he would rather China become red than a Japanese colony.When the Institute of History and Philology launched a large-scale revision of "Ming Shilu", historian Wu Fengpei sent a letter suggesting that Japanese rare books should be reviewed. Fu replied, "Even if there are rare books in Japan, it is not necessary."

It was precisely because of such a strong nationalist sentiment in his heart that at the end of October 1945, Fu Sinian flew from Chongqing to Peking University to deal with Peking University affairs. Chen Xueping and others greeted him at the airport. Fu asked Chen and the pseudo-Peking University about their relationship with the puppet Peking University in the first sentence when Fu got off the plane. Whether the teacher has any contact, Chen replied that it was limited to some necessary occasions.Fu Wenting said angrily: "Chinese and traitors are not compatible, and they shouldn't even shake hands!" He said on the spot that the teachers and staff of the fake school would not be hired, and all the dung beetles would be moved - get out.At the same time, he said that he would ask the judiciary to arrest the heinous scholar scum, put him in a wooden cage in a prison car, and have a "judgment" and so on.The pseudo-teachers who lived in Beiping were shocked and frightened when they heard that Fu Sinian put on a ruthless appearance like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, especially the pseudo-Peking University who had entered the cram school to teach in accordance with the method of "recruiting" the pseudo-enemy personnel to serve in the Army Headquarters. The professor became even more furious, not only clamoring everywhere, but also trying to fish in troubled waters, and stubbornly resisted.After some conspiracies, the pseudo-professors secretly united and threatened to strike. Those who refused to admit that they belonged to the pseudo-enemy were "recruited" and were permanent legal professors of the National Peking University. The petition strongly urges Peking University, after being demobilized, to continue to serve as an immortal human soul engineer who preaches, teaches, and dispels doubts.In order to show his orthodoxy and legitimacy, Rong Geng, a pseudo-professor of Peking University and an antiquity expert, published a "Wan Yan Shu" to Fu Sinian in Beiping "Zhengbao" on November 7, in order to protest and defend his actions.The book says:

At one step of Meng Zhen: The Marco Polo Bridge Incident was at the time when Gengnan returned to the Han Dynasty.Staying in Guangdong for April, Beiping has fallen, and Nanjing is in danger.Geng took the responsibility of Yan University and returned to the north. After four years, he completed several books such as "Rebooking Jinwenbian" and "Tongkao of Yiqi in Shang and Zhou Dynasties".The Ministry of Education awarded the second prize.The Institute of History and Philology of the Academia Sinica continued to be employed as a communication researcher, but the reputation was unbelievable, and fortunately, he was not abandoned in the country.During the Pacific Incident, Mr. Leighton Stuart, Dean of Yan University, shook hands with Yu and said: "The day we hope for will come."Yenching University resumed its campus in Chengdu, and many of its colleagues went west, and Bamei Yuan followed suit.And Geng Du was attached to Beiping, and there was also a reason for it: the Japanese invaders would be defeated, and they would trek without labor.I like to sort out but I am clumsy about mysteries, and I can't write without books.The books and Yi wares collected in the past twenty years are rare in the world, and I can't bear to give them up. Three things. "Don't say it's firm, it's ground without phosphorus; it's not called white, it's nirvana without blackness." The nature is stubborn, and it will be firm and white after a trial.The people in the enemy-occupied areas cannot move inside as much as possible; the government troops retreated hastily, and there is no chance to move inside with the people.Toxic and ravaged, being harmed by the Japanese invaders is the only one; severe drought and clouds, looking for the government to come is the only one.I have children, and I have to teach others; people have children, and I have to teach them.Then go out and teach, and the rest of the responsibility is also.Encouraging the Japanese invaders to be defeated, and encouraging the students to make the final victory our own is also my responsibility.Those who taught at Yan University taught at Peking University, and in their spare time, they compiled several kinds of "Research on Inscriptions", "Records of Ni Zan's Books and Its Forgeries". …When Peking University and other schools moved to the southwest, and the puppet government re-established the three schools, the curriculum remained the same, and the old faculty members who stayed in Ping'an were given priority.Except for increasing the number of Japanese professors in each college and increasing the number of hours of Japanese language per week, there are no changes.I don't know what the so-called enslaving educators mean.What the Japanese invaders hope for in schools is to make students spend half their time studying and half working for them.All the living needs of the teaching staff can be rationed.Unanimously rejected by colleagues.Most of my generation concentrate on teaching, but very few hold government positions. The article "Ja Qin Mei Xin" is definitely worth worrying about!However, there are very few people who use it to flatter the sun.The Japanese invaders were not allowed to express their aspirations in the education field, since the fall of Japan until now.The pain of the teacher has been extreme in the past two years.The highest monthly salary of a professor was not enough to buy a hundred catties of rice or a ton of coal.Therefore, there are many people who rags and eat bad food, and sell books and furniture to think they are alive.As a lecturer, I suffer especially.Up to those who walk four hours back and forth on the road and teach for two hours.Their income is far inferior to those who sell cigarettes and pull carts.Hard (difficult) extreme, extremely miserable situation in the world, what is the result?Knowing that our country will not perish, education should not be stopped, so I endure it without regret.Traitor?Are Han loyal?The facts are all there, and they cannot be deceived by rhetoric.He is willing to be accused and judged by the government and there is no escape.The Japanese invaders regard us as reactionaries, and the government regards us as traitors. It is ridiculous, and the so-called truth is as solid as it is.God, what can I say!

... The Peking Police Academy has never heard of anyone who reprimanded the three schools for hypocrisy and disobedience. There is no one else, and the job problem is also easy to accept. The government should not hesitate to spend several months of funds.Next year, when Peking University moves back to Beiping in Kunming, it will be hard to say whether the teachers will be appointed according to their aspirations or meritorious deeds.That is to say, in terms of ancient writing and artifacts, there are Tang Lan in the real school, and Geng in the false school.In terms of Shangzhi, Geng is incomparable to Tang Lan who is in trouble.Advocating merit with words means rich experience, courage in writing, and if you have the jade ruler of talent, you don't know which is short or long.A school can neither be inclusive, so it is difficult to decide where to go.Yu said that this is a carefree view.

Fu Sinian scoffed at Rong Gengbai's eloquent rhetoric and sophistry against traitors like Rong, who were loyal and loyal, and did not compromise. During the interview with the special correspondent of Peiping stationed in Chongqing, he expressed his views clearly. On December 2, 1945, Peiping's "World Journal" disclosed the content of the conversation: Fu Sinian, the acting president of Peking University, had returned to Chongqing from Kunming and was about to go to Pingg. Students should put their studies first, and have already started tutoring. After the tutoring period expires and the Ministry of Education issues a certificate, they can transfer to other departments of Peking University for a corresponding grade, and the school will take them in.” Spring or return home. Just when Fu’s statement was published, Zhou Zuoren, the dean of the Faculty of Liberal Arts of Peking University, was drinking bitter tea at the “Bitter Tea Temple” at his home in Badaowan, Beiping, leisurely writing an essay called “Stone Road” skit.In the article, he recalled the beauty of the stone roads and stone bridges in his hometown Shaoxing with great emotion, and wrote at the end: "In the dark and windy night, the solitary lamp is turned red. The fluorescent light is scattered and empty, and it is brighter than the candles in the field. At night, there are few people, and the lights go out after the forest." This is a matter of Hangzhou, but it is generally the same.Before the Republic of China, social undertakings of a charitable nature were sponsored by non-government volunteers, but they have probably disappeared since then.In fact, even at that time, the use of sky lanterns was mostly just for decoration. People who walked at night, except night walkers, had to carry their own lanterns, and sky lanterns alone were by no means enough.Walking with a lantern of "Xian Xing", I suddenly saw a little light in the low sky in front of me, which foretells that there is a stone bridge here. This is of course beneficial, and it is also interesting. In my diary on December 2, 1934, when I heard the donkey croaking, the so-called "donkey croaking" at the end of the article was a response to Fu Sinian's statement.Zhou Zuoren wrote in his diary that day: "I saw Fu Sinian's talk in the newspaper and heard the donkey braying in the alley. It was just right, because it was recorded at the end of the article." After the fall of Peiping in 1937, people in the academic and cultural circles went south one after another, but Zhou Zuoren refused to leave.At that time, he fantasized about living in seclusion in Beiping, getting out of the world of mortals, making a living by teaching, writing, and translating, and continuing to live the peaceful life of "Bitter Tea Temple".Many friends from the former Beiping either wrote letters, wrote poems, or personally visited them to persuade them to go south, not to nest in Peiping and join forces with the Japanese, or accidentally fell into the sewage to defile their bodies.However, Zhou Zuoren excused his friend's persuasion with various reasons, that is, he did not leave, and he felt good about himself, so his attitude was firm and tough.In September of this year, in an open letter to the editor of "Cosmic Wind", he used Su Wu in the Han Dynasty as his own situation, and clearly told "people who care about us" that "it is better not to regard those who stay in the north as Li Ling, but as Su Wu." and so on.Hu Shi, an old friend of Shi Yuan who was about to go to the United States in London, England, out of the same consideration as his friends, specially sent a poem in vernacular to Zhou Zuoren, implicitly persuading Zhou to "know the light and the heavy", and come to "Gone with the Wind". Floating a stick to the south of the sky", and "knowing that I am a little lovesick at this time".But Zhou Zuoren's attitude is still to let the wind and waves rise, sit on the fishing boat, live in Beiping and continue to be his "old monk drinking tea in the Kuyu nunnery". On New Year's Day in 1939, Zhou Zuoren was assassinated at home. He survived because the bullet hit the button. He mistakenly believed that the Japanese were putting pressure on him and gave him color. Soon after the shooting incident, he accepted it with horror He took up the post of director of the pseudo-Peking University library. On March 28, he was appointed as the preparator of Peking University School of Arts.Since then, he has frequently attended various activities organized by the Japanese and puppet organizations. According to Zhou Zuoren's daily records, "everyone who comes is a gendarmerie captain" and "all who come are officials who threaten education and culture".Later, he accepted the posts of pseudo-professor and dean of the Faculty of Arts of Peking University, and one foot fell into the "water". In December 1940, he was once again "promoted" to the posts of "Pseudo-North China Government Affairs Committee Education Supervision" headed by Wang Yitang, "National Committee Member of the Nanjing Wang-Puppet Government", "Vice Director of the Japanese-Puppet North China Comprehensive Investigation Institute", and his whole body It has all been soaked in muddy water.He attended various educational conferences, lectures, and training classes, and at every meeting he would talk about "good neighborliness and friendship, joint defense against communism, and economic cooperation" to create public opinion for the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" of the Japanese invaders.He even went to Japan to condolences to the wounded and sick of the Japanese invaders, and made a small donation. In May 1942, Zhou Zuoren, as Wang Jingwei's entourage, participated in the 10th anniversary celebration of the puppet "Manchurian Empire" and "visited" the puppet emperor Puyi of Manchuria.In October of this year, Wang Jingwei flew from Nanjing to Peiping to attend the 1942 Xinmin Plenary Fellowship. Zhou Zuoren not only went to the airport to see him off, but also made a special trip to Zhongnanhai Qinzheng Hall to visit Wang Jingwei's wife Chen Bijun. On December 8, the Wang puppet regime promoted the "New National Movement" in the occupied areas to implement enslavement education for young people, and established the "Republic of China Xinmin Youth League Central Supervision Department", with Wang Yitang as the supervisor and Zhou Zuoren as the deputy supervisor .At the inaugural meeting of the Ministry of Control and Supervision, Zhou made a precept of "Unity of will, exerting strength".During the review of the training of the Youth Corps, Zhou Zuoren actually wore a Japanese military cap and a Japanese military uniform. He was not ashamed, but rather proud. exposed to the world. In 1932, Lu Xun once said that after the "New Youth" group disbanded, "some were promoted, some retired, and some advanced."This speaks of the small group related to himself.When talking about the revolutionaries and the revolutionary army, he also said similar things: "Because of the difference in ultimate goals, when marching, some people are retired from time to time, some are left behind, some are decadent, and some are rebellious." Lu Xun took the trouble to say these words. It may not have been expected that when the Anti-Japanese War was booming, his younger brother was among the above-mentioned people—unfortunately, he belonged to the most despicable "rebellion" category. Although there were many reasons for Zhou Zuoren's death, the thoughts of Asianism, "the theory of subjugation" and the cycle of history that remained in his mind, as well as his feelings for the Japanese nation, all played a pivotal role.Since 1927, he pursued the so-called "living decently", and claimed that he had achieved great enlightenment through cultivation, transcended right and wrong in the world, and entered the realm of living Buddhas and immortals, and any vulgar behavior would be harmless and even ok. Turning vulgarity into elegance, etc., are all introductions to urge him to "enter the water".And this "introduction" has a certain historical background and ideological foundation.Not formed overnight.On the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhou Zuoren wrote articles such as "Yue Fei and Qin Hui" and "About Hero Worship", blatantly overturning Qin Hui's verdict and denying the historical judgment that Yue Fei, who fought in the main battle, was a loyal minister, Qin Hui's master, and a treacherous prime minister.He said in "Melon Douji: Talking about Fried Ghosts Again" that "Qin Hui's reconciliation can still save half of the country", and doing so is "not his serious crime", "I think Qin Hui's case should be reviewed."He also said: "Harmony is more difficult than war, and defeat is still a national hero (in ancient times, he had to sacrifice his life, and now there is still a place to escape), and success is a sinner for all ages. Therefore, the Lord and He really need political opinions and morals. In "Bitter Tea Essays", he actually ridiculed Wen Tianxiang's martyrdom as "the only good thing is integrity, and he is willing to die when the country dies. This is a very admirable thing, and we should not fail to express our gratitude to him." We respect him, but we don't have to learn from him, and we can't be regarded as our role model. First, to learn from him, the country must die first, otherwise how can we die like him? We must have integrity, and we must use it regularly. The sacrifice is too great when the country is subjugated. Second, this kind of death is not beneficial to the country and society. Our purpose is to preserve the country. If we don’t do this work and wait for the country to die, even Wen Tianxiang dies. Does it help? I don’t want China to produce another Wen Tianxiang second…” Such rhetoric seems to have found a theoretical basis for him to fall into the water and become a traitor. When Fu Sinian made his first speech in Chongqing on how to deal with the pseudo-Peking University faculty members, Zhou Zuoren regarded himself as a figure of Fu Sinian’s generation and an ally in the “New Culture Movement” camp. He opened his eyes for it, and wrote to Fu Sinian as an old man.In the letter, not only did he show no remorse for his historical sin of going into the water as a lackey of the Japanese, but his tone was arrogant and tough, and he confidently asked Fu to take care of himself as a special person, and threatened and warned, "You treat me as a fake today. Anzhi, no one will think you are a fake in the future" and other words, the paper is full of stones from the hut - a foul smell that is stinky and hard.After Fu Sinian read it, he slapped the letter on the table on the spot and cursed: "Damn it, the blue sky and white sun flag hasn't fallen yet. Could it be possible to reverse these bastards!" If anyone really thinks I'm a fake, that's a matter of domestic partisan struggle, but you will never say that I am a traitor; and you, Zhou Zuoren, are a big traitor, but it has already been engraved on the pillar of shame and cannot be changed forever." Seeing that the method of asking Fu Sinian for help failed, Zhou Zuoren turned to other students and old friends, but most of them received cold eyes and reprimands of "hating him for nothing".Zhou was very resentful about this, and poured this resentment into his pen to express his venting. On November 10, 1945, Zhou wrote in his diary: "Recently, people in the world have said: the more you wait for the central government, the worse it will be. And there are rumors among students Yun: There is no place to keep people here, but there is a place to keep people." On the 17th, I wrote again: "In recent years, among the things and people, the scum is despicable and unreasonable. Shen Qi has nothing but Zhao Wanli and Wang Fangyuan. , Gu Jiegang, Shen Jianshi, how many people are there? And they are all from western Zhejiang and Wu, which is strange." After a series of confusion and amazement, Zhou Zuoren resorted to his last trump card and took the initiative to invite reporters to come and talk. He was dressed in a long gown and sat in the "Bitter Rain Room" in a dignified manner. While drinking bitter tea, he poured it out slowly. The bitterness is mixed with defenses, saying that he is attached to the rebellion "to educate the youth for the country in the occupied areas, and to preserve the vitality of the country" and so on.It's just that all the defenses are in vain. At this time, Zhou Zuoren is already screaming every day, and the ground is not working, and he has truly tasted the meaning of the word "end of the road".Facing the situation of the end of the day and the end of the road, he stopped working hard and moving forward, and simply adopted the method that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, "sitting at home and waiting for the country's sanctions".On the fourth day after Zhou Zuoren drank a cup of bitter tea and finished writing the short essay "Stone Road", that is, on December 6, 1945, he was arrested and imprisoned for the crime of traitor. , It became an elegy for his traitor career. Many years later, on May 9, 1971, the supplement of Taipei's "China Times" published Nan Gongbo's "Reminiscences of Yu (Reminiscences of Zhitang)" in which a paragraph said: "I once wrote an article entitled "Mr. The students are not hypocritical!", blatantly denouncing Fu Sinian, a celebrity in the academic circle. At that time, there were many high-spirited officials from Chongqing to the enemy-occupied areas, and Fu Sinian was one of them. We always think that people in the academic circle should be different from ordinary officials. Unexpectedly, Fu Sinian, who claimed to be a Qingliu, also had that disgusting face when he took over in Beiping, and he could even say "pseudo-student"! - He said "pseudo-professor" is actually forgivable. You must know that the government was defeated It is impossible for everyone to flee to the rear, abandoning the land and the people. Under the rule of the enemy and the puppet, if you do something to make a living, how can you all be regarded as traitors.'Starving to death is a small matter, out of integrity It’s easy to say that it’s a big deal, but it’s not easy to call it a slogan when it’s actually done. Besides, it’s unreasonable to be labeled a traitor by doing small things to make a living.” After this article was published, many people disagreed. Liang Shiqiu, a famous scholar who was once denounced by Lu Xun as "a loser and a lackey of a capitalist" and who was teaching at Taiwan Normal University, responded: "Mr. However, Mr. Zhou Zuoren did not "make a living by doing small things" anyway, so we can only feel sorry for his late life, but cannot justify it." When Zhou Zuoren and Fu Sinian challenged each other, Fu Sinian once again gave a long talk to reporters in Chongqing, and issued a four-point solemn statement on the issue of the faculties of Peking University. On December 8, Peking's "World Journal" reported as follows: Mr. Fu Sinian, the acting president of Peking University, seemed to have a kind of righteous indignation and mortal anger towards the pseudo-Peking University staff.Except for October 30, when I swore that he would not hire bogus Peking University faculty members, and reported by telegram, today, after attending the press conference held by Minister Zhu of the Ministry of Education two days ago, I risked my confusion early in the morning. Xiao Yu, visit him again.For this Mr. Fu who suffers from high blood pressure and is patriotic and fanatical, I would like to hear his opinions in more detail.In Mr. Fu's apartment, straight to the point. Fu Sinian made four important statements to reporters: 1. Schools above junior college must set an out-and-out role model in the four characters of etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame, for the students and the next generation of young people to see!Peking University originally asked all its faculty members to relocate inland. In fact, except for one or two such as Zhou Zuoren, a few faculty members who did not relocate also transferred to Furen and Yanjing to teach.Qian Daosun, the founder of the fake Peking University, was not a professor of Peking University in the first place.So now the professors of the fake Peking University have nothing to do with Peking University at all.2. Minister Zhu told me that there is absolutely no such thing as all the teachers of the pseudo-Peking University being hired by the cram school to teach. Instead, according to the method of recruiting and serving the puppet enemy personnel at the Army Headquarters, one of them is recruited to serve, and no letter of appointment is issued, and it has nothing to do with Peking University .3. Peking University has absolute freedom and does not hire anyone from a fake school or fake organization to teach.4. From a general point of view, such as the former president of our school Mr. Jiang Menglin, such as the president Hu Shi who returned to China in the next spring, the Peking University professor group and the students' associations in Chongqing and Kunming are completely consistent with me.No matter now or in the future, Peking University will not allow people from fake schools and fake organizations to get involved. When the reporter mentioned young students, Fu said with a sigh: "He Gu, a young man, a 20-year-old college student, was only a 12-year-old child when the Anti-Japanese War broke out. As far as we know, the standard of the professors of the bogus Third Academy of Arts, Science and Law of Peking University is less than one-tenth of that of the current professors of Peking University. Soon Peking University will be relocated to Peking in the next summer. With the old qualifications of Peking University and the The prestige of President Hu Shi will certainly be able to hire many first-class professors. Therefore, it is absolutely beneficial to the students that the fake school does not have teachers." When the reporter talked about the cultural traitors in Peiping, Fu humorously said that they are "different types". It is Qian Daosun type, that is an active traitor. Before the fall of Peiping, Qian Daosun did many suspicious things. At that time, someone asked him whether China would be subjugated, and he replied, "It is a blessing that the country will be subjugated."The person who asked the question was very surprised, and when he asked what was the misfortune, he actually said: "Unfortunately, the species will be exterminated!" Moreover, when the Peking University professor was planning to move inland, he tried to obstruct it in many ways, which is also known to all.Finally, the reporter asked how to punish traitors such as Zhou Zuoren and Qian Daosun. Fu Sinian said in a hearty Shandong accent: "I don't care about the traitors. My job is to do everything possible to keep Peking University clean." Right from wrong, distinguish loyalty from traitor." Finally, Fu Sinian emphasized: "I will say this even if I am beaten to death." When this statement was issued, Zhou Zuoren had been in prison for two days, and he was temporarily unable to challenge him.Seeing that Fu Sinian was determined to go his own way and had no room for accommodation, Rong Geng, a fake Peking University professor who had been cats in the small alleys of Peking, followed Fu from Beiping to Chongqing as a communications researcher at the Academia Sinica to continue entanglement. Rong Geng was born in a family of book eunuchs in Guangdong in the late Qing Dynasty. He was influenced by family tradition since he was a child, and he has a special liking for ancient characters and antiquities. In 1924, he graduated from the National Studies Department of the Institute of Peking University. After staying at the school for one year, he transferred to Yenching University to teach. In August 1928, when Fu Sinian was preparing for the Institute of History and Philology in Guangzhou, he reported to Cai Yuanpei and Yang Xingfo for the appointment of 23 special researchers. After Li Ji, Rong Rong, who was teaching at Yenching University, ranked 11th. Geng.Xu Bingchang, Yuan Fuli, Luo Jialun, Yang Zhensheng, Luo Changpei, Ding Shan, etc. who were very popular for a while are all behind, which shows that Fu attaches great importance to Rong.When Guo Moruo was in exile in Japan, he wrote several works related to archaeology and paleographs, including the famous "Tongbian of Divination" and "The Great Collection of Zhou Jin Wenci". A considerable part of the materials were collected and provided by Rong. .Later, Guo Moruo once said, "Without Rong Geng's help, I am afraid that it would be impossible for me to embark on the road of studying bronze inscriptions."Rong once made a great wish to devote eight years to the comprehensive study of Shang and Zhou bronzes, and finally completed the groundbreaking masterpiece "Shang and Zhou Yi Pin Tong Kao" in 1941.The publication of this book is hailed as "a milestone marking the transition of bronze research from old-style epigraphy to modern archaeology, and is of epoch-making significance."However, at that time, Rong himself had transferred to the Puppet Peking University to teach.Today is not what it used to be. The eight years of the Anti-Japanese War have become a watershed and a touchstone for demonstrating national righteousness and personal integrity. On this watershed, many former friends have become enemies. . When Rong Geng traveled from Beiping to the headquarters of Academia Sinica in Chongqing to find Fu Sinian, who wanted to make a theory face to face, Fu jumped up against the case, swayed his fat body, pointed at Rong's nose and cursed: "You are a national scum, a shameless traitor. Get out, get out, don't see me!" On the spot, someone ordered Rong to be knocked down to the ground, carried out, and thrown onto the muddy road.The next day, the "Xinmin Daily" published the story with the headline: "Fu Mengzhen scolded cultural traitors on the case, and the sound shook the roof tiles." , Visited again, said that he would apologize and reform, and start a new life.Fu Sinian thought about it for a long time before reluctantly receiving him, but he was still not allowed to teach at Peking University.The disheartened Rong Geng had to rely on Li Zongren's relationship to prepare to teach at Guangxi University, but he was transferred to Lingnan University when he failed to make the trip. Throughout his life, he never entered the threshold of Peking University. Regarding the right and wrong of this experience, Fu Sinian said in a letter to his wife Yu Dacai: "A large number of fake teaching staff came in. This is a big obstacle to the opening of Peking University after the summer vacation, but I am determined to sweep it away and never leave this bad root for Peking University." He also said, " In fact, under such a situation, Mr. Hu is far inferior to me, and I have leveled the world for him in the past few months, so he can easily continue." And the color changes, the tree suffers and the leaves fall off. The reason why it is destroyed and scattered is because of its strong spirit."Some pseudo-Peking University faculty members are opposite to Fu, and openly declared that Fu Sinian was one of Hu Shi's thugs, but Fu refused to admit it. At the reception when he was demobilized from the Institute of History and Philology in Nanjing, he publicly said to everyone: "People say that I am Mr. Hu's. Fighter, no, I am Mr. Hu's fighter." Just as Fu Sinian shuttled back and forth non-stop between Chongqing and Peiping, cleaning up the traitors like a fire, and handling the demobilization of Peking University, Kunming, the headquarters of Southwest Associated University and the cultural center during wartime, was in chaos again.
