Jia Geng's Spiritual Prose
Jimei University is a provincial multi-disciplinary comprehensive university. It was formally established on June 1994. Jimei School Village was founded by Chen Jiageng, a famous overseas Chinese leader in China, and was jointly founded by five colleges and universities. At present, there are more than 10000 students in school.
Professor Su, vice-president of Jimei University, proudly said: "We have a family heirloom, that is, we have inherited the glorious tradition since Jimei Xuecun 19 13, which is based on the motto proposed by Mr.; Carry forward the spirit of Jia Geng. "
After listening to the introduction of the school leaders, we went to the Olympic Park to pay tribute to Mr. Jia Geng's mausoleum and visited his former residence, which deeply touched us. The essence of "Jia Geng spirit" seems to be summarized in three aspects: First, patriotism. As early as after the May 4th Movement, he shouted loudly: "The people's hearts will not die out, and the national pulse still exists. A country with a population of 40 million has no reason to live in poverty. If you don't reach today, there will be tomorrow. If you don't reach the body, there will be children and grandchildren. If Jingwei fills the sea and Gong Yu moves mountains, there will be a day to implement the purpose! " He also said: "It is every man's responsibility to save the nation!" "If the country declines, what's the use even if individuals make a fortune?" Living overseas, he "made every effort to unite against Japan and strive for the liberation of the Chinese nation." He worked very hard to organize donations from overseas Chinese to support War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. In 1939 alone, their donations to the government at that time reached 1 1 billion, accounting for more than half of their total military expenditure1.80 billion. He opposed surrender and denounced the great traitor Wang Jingwei. In the name of State Councilor, he once put forward and passed the famous proposal that "before the enemy was driven out of our country, civil servants would be traitors and traitors if they talked about peace"! He once broke through Chiang Kai-shek's numerous obstacles and visited the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region, so he "concluded that Chiang Kai-shek's government would fail and Yan 'an would win"! After the founding of New China, the famous patriot took an active part in the discussion of state affairs. He opposed chauvinism, the Soviet Union, where did he get "brotherhood" and "selfless assistance"? He disapproved of the Great Leap Forward and said that the figures were "like children telling fairy tales". He disapproves of fighting against the Rightists, which will "lose many useful talents and excellent intellectuals". He has always been concerned about the great cause of the reunification of the motherland. In his will, he still remembers that "the most important thing is the future of the country, and Taiwan Province Province must return to the motherland".
The second is to advocate the spirit of education. Mr. Jia Geng said: "Education is the foundation of the country, and it is the unshirkable responsibility of the people to promote learning." He also said: "Education is the foundation to make the country rich and strong." He "lived in Nanyang for a long time, cherished the motherland and hoped to serve the country. It was not a day's work." 17 years old went to Singapore with his father to make a living. With the help of his younger brother, Mr. Chen Jingxian, he became fascinated with the educational achievements of the motherland in the past 100 years. Since the establishment of the first Jimei Primary School in 19 13, more than ten schools have been established in the past 50 years, ranging from preschool education, primary education, secondary education to higher education, including kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools, teachers' colleges and Xiamen University, which is well-known at home and abroad. In order to promote his studies, he almost exhausted all his possessions. In the predicament, he resolutely resisted the pressure of British capital, preferring that "enterprises can be closed and schools can never be closed"! Do not hesitate to "sell the building to maintain Xiamen University". Mr. Jia Geng's greatest pleasure in life: training talents. For decades, he has trained all kinds of talents all over the country and all over the world. It's really full of peaches and plums! He has made great contributions to the motherland and mankind.
The third is the spirit of strict self-discipline. Mr. Jia Geng can be said to have hundreds of millions of assets, but he said, "Take from the society and use it." He is indifferent to fame and fortune, selfish and self-disciplined. He refused great praise from all directions, and no school or building was named after him in his life. He has always maintained his true colors of hard work, simplicity and thrift. Rough tea and light rice, the usual diet is sweet potato porridge, pickles, peanuts and dried radish; Until the old age, monthly meals 15 yuan. He doesn't smoke, drink or celebrate his birthday. He only wears a vest to keep warm. He has worn it for many years. If it is broken, it will be mended, and the mosquito net will be mended again. His living room and bedroom are extremely simple, and the used objects are worn out, which makes us visitors moved! But he has a famous saying: "don't be stingy with the money, 10 million;" Don't waste a penny you shouldn't have used!
Jia Geng's Spiritual Prose
From the viewpoint and practice of running a school, Chen Jiageng is not only an educator, but also an outstanding educator. His educational thoughts can be summarized as follows: 1. Advocating women's education and breaking through feudal imprisonment. First of all; Second, emphasize preferential treatment for poor children and reward normal students; Third, in the 1920s, students were encouraged to develop morally, intellectually and physically. Fourth. Zhang Zhang said that "there is no good school without a good teacher", which established the dominant position of teachers in schools; Fifth. Revitalize the industry for the factory, train production technicians and advocate vocational and technical education; Sixth, demand universal education. Book: Tongan "Ten-year Universal Education Plan". Establish Tongan Education Association and Education Promotion Department. This great patriot, with the attitude of a pioneer and the spirit of an innovator, struggled for the cause of education all his life and truly achieved the word "sincerity".
Regarding the motivation and purpose of running a school, Chen Jiageng himself made it very clear: "Without education, industry will be depressed and people's livelihood will be increasingly scarce. ..... Our country is now under the control of a big country, which is a matter of success or failure. It's a close call, and it's inevitable to be eliminated by the world. Therefore, I have been traveling overseas for decades, and my life is hanging by a thread. It's not enough for me to think about it. I am independent of learning and do it at the cost of money. It is for this reason that those who are only diligent and dare not relax. " He also said: "If you want to serve the public, it is also appropriate to run a school."
Some people criticized him for "saving the country through education", and he explained to friendship: "People's wisdom is inseparable, and people's hearts are uneven. Enlightening people's wisdom will help the revolution to save the country, and its reason is very clear. Education is the cause of several generations and the fundamental measure to improve the national cultural level, which is needed at all times. " Chen Jiageng left a name for the family who donated money for public welfare, but he didn't take the credit for himself. How many tall buildings he built for Jimei School and Xiamen University, none of which was engraved with his name or named after him. 1923, teachers, students and alumni of Jimei School raised funds to build the Mei Jie Pavilion to celebrate his 50th birthday and commend his academic achievements.
He refused, thinking that "building a pavilion to celebrate a birthday is the pursuit of fame and fortune" and "never accept it". Chen Jiageng's precious national integrity is fully demonstrated by not accepting charitable subsidies. After the war, Jimei school building was damaged by Japan's indiscriminate bombing, and the Xiamen branch of the United States Relief Agency plans to give subsidies. He replied: "The country is unfortunate. After the war, it could not strive for independence for its strength. Instead, it relies on foreign relief. This is the case with the government, the society, the demobilization of overseas Chinese technicians and even educational institutions. Shameful and sad, but shameful and painful. Why is this happening? "
