The life of the character

Zheng Hailin, 1957, was born in an intellectual family in the western suburb of Meicheng, Meizhou, Guangdong. People born in that era are destined to go through many tests of life. He faced a "three-year difficult period" as soon as he was born. If this can't leave a deep memory for him, then his father is wrongly classified as the Rightist, which has caused him heavy psychological pressure and life impact.

Ten years of Cultural Revolution turmoil shattered Zheng Hailin's dream of studying normally. After graduating from junior high school, he had to drop out of school, do odd jobs on construction sites during the day, earn some money for poor families, and start his self-study career with kerosene lamps at night.

The college entrance examination resumed 1977, and Zheng Hailin was admitted to the philosophy department of Sun Yat-sen University in the second year. He was fortunate to meet Huang, a famous professor in Meizhou, in the park. Mr. Huang, the nephew of Huang Zunxian, inherited the book style of the Huang family in Panguifang and received a good education. Under the guidance of Huang, Zheng Hailin began to study Huang Zunxian. In the past, academic circles only paid attention to Huang Zunxian's poet status and literary contribution, while Zheng Hailin took Huang's A Record of Japan as the breakthrough point to study Huang Zunxian's important role in the reform and reform in the late Qing Dynasty.

65438-0984, Zheng Hailin was admitted to the History Department of Jinan University as a doctoral student. Under the guidance of Zhu, an expert in the history of Sino-Japanese relations, he specialized in the history of Sino-Japanese relations, extensively read, studied and sorted out documents, and wrote his doctoral thesis "A Study of Huang Zunxian", which was processed and enriched into a book "Huang Zunxian and Modern China", which was published by Beijing Sanlian Bookstore. This book makes a systematic and in-depth study of Huang Zunxian, and puts forward an unprecedented viewpoint, which has attracted the attention of academic circles at home and abroad. Beijing Reading and Japan Oriental both published book reviews and gave high praise. Therefore, Zheng Hailin became a famous expert on Huang Zunxian's research, and his exploration in the field of Huang studies has also been deepened.

Follow in the footsteps of Huang Zunxian and study hard.

1987 After receiving his Ph.D., Zheng Hailin taught in Shenzhen University for a short time and began to study in Japan from 1990. He went to Tokyo University, Kyoto University and Oriental Library to study and collect historical documents about Huang Zunxian and the history of Sino-Japanese relations.

The reporter asked Mr. Zheng why he chose this wandering road to study. He explained that he mainly wanted to follow Huang Zunxian's footsteps as a diplomat and collect all the documents and files about Mr. Gong Du. He quoted scholars in the Qing dynasty as saying that learning without literature is not far away; If you don't study for literature, you are empty-handed. In order to study Huang Zunxian, he read all the works of Huang Zunxian, all the documents and books that Huang Zunxian read and a large number of works of his contemporaries. For this reason, he often went out early and came back late, and got into the Oriental Library, where he was completely humiliated and searched for precious historical materials. The biography of Huang Zunxian and the study of Huang Zunxian were released one after another. Later, he donated these precious books and documents collected in Japan to the Institute of "Huang Zunxian and Hakka Writers" of Jiaying University, and many of them were written records about He and Huang Zunxian's study in Japan, which became precious historical materials for further expanding the study of Huang Zunxian and the study of Hakka's moving to Taiwan.

Following Chen Yinke's method of emphasizing textual research and reasoning, Zheng Hailin combined philosophical logic, historical textual research and legal deduction, and further applied it to the study of the history of Sino-Japanese relations, and successively wrote "A Study on the History and Legal Theory of Li Yu in Diaoyutai" and "The Ownership of Diaoyutai from the Perspective of History and International Law". Based on historical documents of China, Japan and even the world, combined with geographical information, it is irrefutable that Diaoyu Island is China's inherent territory for learning. Zheng Hailin's academic achievements are related to his rich experience of studying abroad in Japan, the University of Sydney, Australia and the University of British Columbia, Canada, which reflects his tireless "walker style" on the academic road like Tang Xuanzang.

Since 2005, Zheng Hailin has been invited as a professor-level researcher at the Asia-Pacific Institute of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. As for why he chose to return to China, he answered the reporter like this. First, it shifted the focus of academic research, mainly engaged in the study of Asian issues, including the study of cross-strait relations and the study of the South China Sea issue, and chose Hong Kong to facilitate investigations and data collection in the three places across the Taiwan Strait; Second, Hong Kong, as a place rich in Chinese documents, is extremely convenient because of the freedom and sufficiency of information.

In recent years, Zheng Hailin has written many monographs, such as Deep Perspective of Cross-Strait Relations, Taiwan Province Province Question Test China People's Wisdom, Ideas and Patterns of Peaceful Reunification of the Cross-Strait, etc. He is regarded by experts as a representative work to discuss the peaceful reunification of China from the perspectives of history, international law and politics, and is called a scholar who studies cross-strait relations from the perspective of law.

I look forward to more humanities students in my hometown.

In the interview, the reporter inadvertently mentioned the manuscript of Chen, a famous historian in Meizhou, and suddenly opened Mr. Zheng Hailin's chatterbox, because he paid special attention to Chen's academic achievements, and Mr. Huang, Mr. Zheng's mentor, had a friendship with Chen, and he had seen Mr. Zheng write poems for Miss Chen in his later years.

Talking about Chen's academic achievements, Zheng Hailin said that in the 1930s and 1960s, there were a large number of talents in the humanities field in Meizhou, and a group of masters of Chinese studies and a group of star professors such as Chen, Luo Xianglin, Gu Zhi, Huang and Wu Kang emerged. Today's talents in the humanities field in Meizhou are far less than those in those years, and they are quite old and withered. On the contrary, in the Chaoshan area where students used to study in Meizhou, a number of influential scholars such as Chen Pingyuan, Chen Chunsheng, Zhang Wenqin, Cai Hongsheng and Huang Tianji emerged after 1980s, forming an important academic team under the banner of Mr. Tsung i Jao.

In this regard, Zheng Hailin believes that it may be related to the utilitarian nature of education and learning. Some students are too concerned about material things, impatient and not bitter enough, which is somewhat consistent with Huang's fear at that time: "Maybe they are afraid of poverty."

Zheng Hailin said that Meizhou still has a deep humanistic accumulation. He expects young people with academic aspirations to calm down and read more books, especially the works of famous artists, to broaden their horizons. We should go beyond the superficial vision of utilitarianism, try to avoid superficial fame and fortune, and embark on a hard and successful academic road. The local authorities should also vigorously publicize and study the famous scholars from Meizhou, publish their works, rescue their documents and works, sort out and publish them, and create a rich academic atmosphere.

Mr. Zheng Hailin opened the door to academic research from Mr. Huang Zunxian, a famous historical and cultural figure who studied his hometown, and also entered the academic hall because of his achievements. He is eager to convey not only his own experience, but also his love for his hometown.
