Zhang Qian is an educator. Zi Zilun, no, Huang You. Hunan Xinhua.

1908 graduated from Hunan Zhonglu Excellent Normal School, was awarded the title of Juren, and stayed as a teacher. Later, he taught in Beijing National Academy of Fine Arts, Hunan No.1 Middle School and Changsha Girls' Middle School.

19 14 was the principal of Hunan First Normal School. In August of the following year, the school protested that the provincial education authorities raised tuition and fees, and issued a notice to expel Mao Zedong and other progressive students, so he left. After that, he continued to engage in middle school education in Changsha, and served as the principal of the Sixth Provincial Middle School and the inspector of Hunan Province. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), with the care of Mao Zedong and the arrangement of Hunan Provincial People's Government, he was appointed as a counselor and member of Hunan Provincial People's Government CPPCC.

1967 65438+1October 2 1 Zhang Qian, a famous educator and former principal of Hunan First Normal School, died of illness. Vice Governor Zhou Shizhao presided over the memorial service. At the memorial service, he deeply described President Mao Zedong's objective evaluation and deep concern for the old headmaster, which made people pay more attention to teachers.

During his study in Hunan First Normal University, Mao Zedong respected his teachers very much, paid attention to asking them modestly, and established lifelong friendship with many teachers. Their good thoughts, morality, words and deeds deeply influenced them. The influential teachers are Yang Changji, Xu Teli, Fang, Yuan Zhongqian and Wang. There was a fierce struggle with Zhang Qian, president of Mao Zedong Hunan First Normal University, to collect extra tuition and miscellaneous fees, but Zhang Qian was respected and cared by Mao Zedong when he was old and in trouble.

Zhang Qian deeds

When Zhang Qian took over as the president of Hunan First Normal University, he took his briefcase and tarpaulin umbrella. He and Kong Zhaoshou, the former president of the First Normal University, are two extremes: Kong Zhaoshou is gentle and generous, and his smile is always on his lips, which is very attractive; Zhang Qian is stern, unsmiling and unlikable. Kong Zhaoshou is open-minded, pays attention to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and attaches great importance to students' comprehensive quality, especially their ideology and morality. He encourages students to care about national affairs and participate in saving the country. He is a man of complete personality. Zhang Qian, on the other hand, is old-fashioned, requiring students to read only sage books, forbidding students to participate in activities unrelated to their studies, formulating cumbersome and harsh school rules for teachers and students, and establishing a new system of "monthly examination". Naturally, students and even many teachers respect Kong Zhaoshou and reject Zhang Qian.

1965438+In June, 2005, under the control of Hunan warlord Tang Xiangming, Hunan Provincial Assembly announced a decision to levy extra 10 yuan tuition and miscellaneous fees on normal students, which was resolutely implemented by President Zhang Qian. However, this decision was strongly opposed by most students from poor families, and the spearhead of the struggle naturally pointed to the headmaster Zhang Qian. The students of Hunan No.1 Normal University went on strike one after another, and a vigorous "expulsion movement" was set off inside and outside the school.

One day, he and his best friend passed by the bulletin board. Mao Zedong read the leaflets carefully and said, "Zhang Zi, I don't think these leaflets hit Zhang Qian's heart." So they came to the quaint Scholar's Academy, where Mao Zedong wrote a book, and a Zhang Zhang Declaration of more than 4,000 words was immediately waved. When Zhang Zi saw it, the declaration read: "Zhang Qian has been buttering up his superiors and bossing around his subordinates since he was appointed as the first normal school principal, which led to poor teaching and delayed his youth."

Zhang Qian clearly remembers that when he saw this leaflet, his blood boiled with anger. On the one hand, he became angry from embarrassment because of the acerbity of the article, on the other hand, he was impressed by the majestic momentum of the article.

"Fired!" The headmaster of Zhang Qian made a decision, "all seven.

Stubborn Zhang Qian finally gave in: "All right, I take it back. However, these students in Mao Zedong must give a big punishment! "

When the notice column posted the principal's decision to give Mao Zedong and other students greater punishment, the students boiled again and firmly reiterated: "Zhang Qian will not leave school for one day, and we will not attend classes for one day!"

The student movement continued to develop.

The Provincial Department of Education had no choice but to expel Zhang Qian.

After leaving the first normal school in the province for six years, Zhang Qian said: It is the first time that only the principal can expel the students and the students can expel the principal.

10 yuan's small sum of money is the fuse for the intensification of the contradiction between him and Mao Zedong, and it is also the main reason for him to end his career as president of the First Normal University. Who knows the story behind 10 yuan?

In order not to let students stay in 10 yuan, Zhang Qian knows that students are poor and can't afford an ocean. He traveled back and forth between Du Fu and the school dozens of times just to give him the surname Tang. It's a pity that he failed every time. Later, when the school couldn't afford to eat rice, Zhang Qian paid for it himself, and even sold his pocket watch to buy rice for the students. He turned to the father of Tao Siyong, the richest man in Changsha, hoping to borrow some money to build a school. Weng Tao readily promised and even offered to donate $5,000 to the First Division on condition that Mao Zedong was fired. Zhang Qian refused without hesitation. The clear voice said, "I, Zhang Qian, would never trade my students' future for the ocean", but he never said a word to the students.
