He did come back. This mathematician, who graduated from Xiamen University 24 years ago, came back with thoughts of his alma mater and deep affection for the teachers who raised him.
At 5: 35pm on the 5th, when the 175 train slowly stopped at Xiamen Station, I saw Chen Jingrun, who was wearing a semi-new blue tunic suit, short-sighted glasses with white edges and a flat head, coming down from the hard sleeper 1 1. The first thing he said to the welcoming people was: "I'm glad to be back at my alma mater." He is as happy and excited as a wanderer reunited after a long separation. He said that studying in Xiamen University was the most unforgettable and happiest period of my life. Whenever I recall the wonderful scenes when I was studying in Xiamen University, I will never forget the teacher who taught me. I respect these teachers who are enthusiastic about education and give me inculcation. They gave me a lot of guidance and help. Since I left Xiamen University, I have always missed my dear alma mater and my teacher. ...
Wang Yanan, a famous economist and the old president of Xiamen University, who is known as "knowing the value of human beings", once gave meticulous care and love to Chen Jingrun. When Chen Jingrun returned to his alma mater, he especially missed the late old headmaster. The celebration activities are very full. One morning, Chen Jingrun got up at four o'clock, had a quick breakfast and went to Gulangyu by motorboat. Before dawn, he came to the home of President Wang Yanan. As soon as he entered the door, he held the hand of Mrs. Wang, who was over 70 years old, and said with infinite affection, "I miss President Wang very much and thank him for his training and education." Jenny Wang took his hand and said affectionately, "We saw your photo in the newspaper and felt very kind when we heard your news. If he were alive today, he would be very happy. " Before coming to the portrait of President Wang, Chen Jingrun and Mrs. Wang recalled the unforgettable past: President Wang made a lively report, visited the student dormitory with crutches and umbrellas, and inspected the construction site of the auditorium with his husband in the morning. That was more than twenty years ago. Chen Jingrun is still so familiar today, as if it happened yesterday. His eyes were full of tears when he spoke. 1969165438+1October 13. When President Wang died, he was in the "dictatorship team". Later, he learned the bad news from an alumnus. The calm mathematician could no longer restrain his inner grief and burst into tears. Jenny Wang once sent him a photo of President Wang, but unfortunately he didn't receive it. Chen Jingrun said: "I was so anxious that I went to Xinhai several times and couldn't find it." He begged Jenny Wang to give him another as a permanent memorial, and Jenny Wang met his request. When leaving, Chen Jingrun presented a set of Chinese painting albums to Mrs. Wang.
On the morning of the celebration, Chen Jingrun went to the meeting with everyone. When the crowd hurried past the math classroom, suddenly, Chen Jingrun found Professor Li Wenqing in another large crowd. "It's him!" Chen Jingrun pushed his way through the crowd and went straight to Professor Li in three steps. He held Professor Li's hand tightly and was too excited to speak. After about half a minute, he said, "Sir, I will definitely come to see you!" "Two days later, Chen Jingrun really appeared in Professor Li's home. Professor Li was Chen Jingrun's first teacher who entered Goldbach's conjecture, and Chen Jingrun respected and appreciated him very much. Chen Jingrun said, "I have been thinking about the training and education of teachers since I arrived in Beijing. I always feel that the guidance and training of teachers are very important when I do research now. The foundation is laid by the teacher. " He also sent the recently published mathematics paper to Professor Li Wenqing for review, and wrote on the title page of the paper: "Thank you very much for your long-term guidance and training-your student Chen Jingrun. "
Professor Fang Dezhi graduated from Zhejiang University in his early years, 1943 taught at Xiamen University, 1952 served as the head of the Department of Mathematics, and personally taught advanced calculus and other three courses. His rigorous academic attitude has always been admired by Chen Jingrun. Chen Jingrun returned to his alma mater this time, and many units invited him to give academic reports along the way. Due to the tight time, he declined except for a short stay at Zhejiang University. Someone asked this inexplicably, and Chen Jingrun replied, "Because that's where my teacher studied and the school where my teacher was trained, how can I not go and see it?" Who would have thought that this famous mathematician had such respect for his teacher's alma mater!
Chen Jingrun returned to Xiamen University and visited Professor Fang Dezhi's home. He carefully studied Mr. Fang's kindness and slowly recalled: "At that time, I saw that Mr. Fang had only a little white hair on his head, not so much now ..." "I'm glad to see Mr. Fang in such good health." Teachers and students laughed and laughed so happily. Professor Fang looked at the student with excellent grades and so respectful to the teacher, and his heart was warm. He couldn't help thinking of the past when he was a student: it was 1977, when Professor Fang Dezhi went to Beijing to compile textbooks. When Chen Jingrun heard about it, he called Professor Fang immediately, but he couldn't get in touch. Chen Jingrun is stingy in time, but he is extraordinarily generous in receiving teachers. It takes one or two hours from Zhongguancun to Professor Fang's residence. He went to see him five times. On his first trip, he arrived at eight o'clock in the morning. Unfortunately, Professor Fang is out. He waited until twelve o'clock, ate something casually at noon, and didn't see him until two o'clock in the afternoon. Because of something in the afternoon, he had to go back with regret. Although he received the teacher so warmly in Beijing, Chen Jingrun still felt thoughtless. Shortly after Professor Fang returned to Xiamen University, he received an apology letter from Chen Jingrun. The letter said: "During my teacher's visit to Beijing, due to a lot of work in all aspects, I hope the teacher will forgive me for being very thoughtless in entertaining the teacher." In order to let the elderly teacher see clearly, Chen Jingrun combined the two squares on the manuscript paper into one, and wrote the word "Sheng" in a small way to show his respect for the teacher.
The happiness of diligent gardeners is nothing more than seeing the seedlings they cultivate blossom and bear fruit; The comfort of a lifelong teacher is to see his students make outstanding achievements in their careers. This accomplished and modest student brings more than just comfort to the teacher!
