1988 65438+1From October 25th to 3rd1day, the State Education Commission held a working meeting of the directly affiliated institutions in Beijing Jingxi Hotel to deploy new ones.
Arrangement of one year's work. After returning to school, I conveyed the spirit of the meeting to middle-level cadres and above, and asked all departments and ministries.
Before the winter vacation, put forward the work plan of this unit for the new semester, focusing on changing educational concepts and formulating teaching reforms.
Measurement of leather strength. At the same time, I organized an investigation team and went to the School of Law, the School of Economics and the School of Library and Information Science.
College, school of management, Chinese department and chemistry department conducted investigation and research. Until the morning of February 9, I was holding a teacher in the physics department.
Symposium. My plan is, on the basis of investigation and study, to make use of the winter vacation time to formulate the second decade of teaching in Wuhan University.
The outline of educational reform, in order to set off the second climax of educational reform in Wuhan University from the new semester after the winter vacation.
But? Stir and say? Hey? June 10), the situation has changed dramatically. On the morning of the same day, the State Education Commission stationed in Korea.
Zhang, the leader of the working group, informed me to talk at Donghu Hotel and announced that I would be relieved of my post as deputy secretary of the Party Committee and principal. The same day
In the evening, the working group held a meeting of Wuhan University cadres in Donghu Hotel, and read out the fax that the State Education Commission removed me from my post.
Documents.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, the news came out, the whole school was in an uproar and the industry was shocked. Letters petitioning for me inside and outside the school have been sent to me.
Beijing, why? Although these things are of no help, I have a great affection for my grievances.
Comfortable. As a professor said to me, "Comrade Yudao, you were dismissed because your thoughts were ahead of the times and reformed."
With such a big pace, those' nine-pound old ladies' can't tolerate you. "I thought to myself, yes, I was 32 years old and served as deputy provost.
At the age of 39, he served as deputy secretary of the party Committee; 45-year-old, member of the leading group of the Ministry of Education and director of the Higher Education Department; 48 years old, president of the university; At the age of 54, he was removed from office.
. Therefore, some people say that I am an advanced person, not only in the educational concept, but also in the appointment and dismissal.
Many people used to ask me the same question inexplicably: "Why did you resign from the Ministry of Education?
Still refuse to be the mayor of Wuhan? Otherwise, you can be a big official now, at least in terms of status and material.
Living conditions are much better than you are now. "In the eyes of some people, this is really incredible, and some people want to climb up.
Sharpen one's head and speculate on gaining profits, running around for officials and officials, and even spending a lot of money to buy officials. In fact, this is not wrong.
Understandably, everyone has their own desires. Although there is a tendency in human nature to be obsessed with power, I value righteousness over profit.
Value art over power. China has a saying since ancient times: "A scholar is not an official, and a non-scholar is an official." I believe this and admire it.
I'm still free. I just want to do what I want, and I don't want to be pushed around. I can say whatever I want, and I don't follow suit. In a place
In the eyes of some senior officials, they are the masters and the masses are the people. They can be privileged and overbearing, but in front of their superiors.
A servant in a sense. I hate this relationship between master and servant. There is a saying among ancient literati: "No.
Officials don't take charge. "I appreciate this sentence, so I don't want to be an official.
Of course, I have repeatedly declined the arrangement worthy of important positions. For me, this is a kind of giving up, which may make me
I lost what I could have got, but I have no regrets. In fact, in my life, there have been many releases.
Give up, for example, giving up the advantages of studying and researching in the former Soviet Union and giving up the opportunity to get an associate doctorate ... In this regard, there are
People say, "Liu Daoyu is too stupid to respond to the call of' anti-revision' if he turns a deaf ear like everyone else."
He will definitely get an associate doctor's degree with excellent results, with his intelligence and wisdom.
But he may also be an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he will also gain fame and fortune. "But, I think life is a great event.
On the stage, each of us has to play a certain role, some roles are chosen by ourselves, and some roles are pushed by mistake.
It's over. I think that no matter what role you play on the stage of life, as long as you do it wholeheartedly and aboveboard.
People, then you have a clear conscience. So, I choose my own life, whether to pursue or give up, I
No regrets.
In his speech at Marx's grave, Engels made this comment on Marx: "He may have many enemies.
, but there may be no personal enemies. "I appreciate this sentence very much, and I admire the character of this knowledgeable academic master.
A model of things.
I believe in Mencius' view that human nature is good, and I have always advocated the spirit of fraternity in educational practice. Therefore, for
Personally, there is no "many enemies", let alone "many enemies". However, I advocate educational reform,
In the practice of educational reform, the conflict between these two concepts is inevitable. So, those people with poles
A few people who adhere to the "Left" line are jealous of me and don't like them. They regard me as an "enemy" and always think about it.
Soon after that. My sudden dismissal from office and the subsequent blow were all manifestations of their thoughts and were directed at me.
Revenge. One of them, after he achieved the goal of playing me, once proudly said to others, "I played Liu Daoyu.
Falling down is really a pleasure. I'm not soft. I want him to never turn over. "Or this person, using the power in his hand.
Li, instructed a young teacher to report the case to me in Beijing, and said that if there was no travel expenses, I could go to him for reimbursement. Initially,
This teacher is my student. He used to teach in an ordinary university in other provinces, but he hasn't mentioned it for more than ten years.
He felt the pressure of being promoted to lecturer. So, he wrote to me, hoping to transfer back to his alma mater to serve. I think that school
This practice is too much. For the sake of protecting students, I transferred him and his wife (no counterpart) to Wu.
It's huge. In order to support his work, I quickly solved his lecturer title, and I personally wrote a preface for one of his books. but
Yes, he was not satisfied, and then he asked to be promoted to associate professor, but I didn't agree. In this way, he immediately turned against each other.
That is, take refuge in "Left" leaning people and act as a deep-water bomb against Liu.
However, the teacher was soon despised after he exposed the practice of biting the hand that feeds him. He can't stay at school any longer.
So he asked to be transferred and changed his family. I don't know whether it was out of conscience or other reasons, but he lived until he left school.
Then he came to say goodbye to me and asked me what I thought of him. I received him and said to him calmly, "China intellectuals.
Attach great importance to moral articles. I think what you lack is moral cultivation. Although you have done something wrong to me, do it anyway.
As your teacher, I still don't forget the responsibility of preaching and teaching. It's up to you to listen or not. How to be a virtuous person? I'll give it to you
Give you three words: don't judge heroes by victory or defeat, don't judge right or wrong by likes and dislikes, and don't divide friends and relatives by gains and losses. "Then I explained,
These three sentences are my creed, which contains many principles of being a man. In general, people always try to win and avoid.
Avoid failure, but also analyze the victory and defeat in detail, starting from touching people and climbing to others.
The victory of high position is "victory" and shameful; And those who have been hit by telling the truth or failed by reform,
Although defeated, it is still glorious. There are objective standards for right and wrong, which have been tested by practice, regardless of people's likes and dislikes. For and against
It should also be based on correct values, and you can't approach a person just because you get his benefits, and vice versa.
Hate him, if so, wouldn't it be the same as reducing people to ordinary animals?
There are many similar situations in my experience, too numerous to mention. I trained some people.
And become a talent, but he is ungrateful; Some people were highly promoted by me, but he turned his back on me; Others, because of crime.
The mistake was protected by me, but he wrote a book and maliciously slandered me. More people are, when you are in power,
He follows you closely, but once the climate changes, they immediately change their faces, or expose criticism, or draw a line, which is better.
My heart asks me, "What do you think of those heartless people? Have you ever regretted it? " People are all kinds,
From the personal summary of the lessons of identifying people, it should be, but regret is unnecessary. My creed is: I would rather fail me.
I will never let others down. I also believe that love is dedication, which is based on the premise of not asking for anything in return. If you ask, then
It is to regard love as a commodity, which is a blasphemy against great love. Therefore, everything I do to anyone is from
Feel voluntary and have no regrets.
1988 In mid-July, student Tianan invited me to spend my summer vacation in Jiugong Mountain, Tongshan County, and I just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.
I will write a book there, so I agreed. To tell the truth, I'm too tired. I am the vice president, the principal and the director of the higher education department.
During the period of 15, there were no winter and summer vacations, no famous mountains and rivers, and even the school trade union organized faculty to go to Lushan in batches.
I don't like summer vacation either. After being removed from office, I really tasted the "no official order" issued by Su Dongpo when he relegated Huangzhou.
The taste of sighing!
One day, I went up the mountain alone with a box of books and documents. This is the first time in my life to spend the summer in the summer resort.
False, all expenses are completely self-care. At that time, the tourist conditions were relatively poor, and the roads were still gravel roads, with potholes and bumpy cars.
Sadly, along the rugged mountain road, I didn't climb the Jiugongshan Tianchi at an altitude of 1 500 meters until the afternoon, in a county town.
The ordinary guest house of the township enterprise management bureau lived down.
On August 5, the school sent a car to send Gao Wei to my guest house in Jiugongshan. Her sudden appearance surprised me.
I don't know what happened. I asked, "Why are you here? What's the matter? " She said: "A few days ago, the school party office.
I called you and said that the Ministry of Education wanted you to go to Beijing. I told them you were on a business trip and didn't reply. at present
I have no idea where it is. I told them that Liu Daoyu had been removed from his post and there was nothing to talk about.
However, they called again yesterday and said that Li wanted to talk to you, which seemed urgent. So, let's discuss it.
Watch or not watch? "
It has been more than half a year since he was suddenly removed from the post of principal, and there is no * * * work back and forth. Why now?
Do you want to talk to me now? Our analysis has two purposes: first, my dismissal is undemocratic, unfair and unjust.
This has aroused strong repercussions inside and outside the school, so that the Ministry of Education has fallen into a very passive situation. They invited the then central government.
Li, a member of the management Committee, came out to talk to me. The purpose may be to appease and turn passivity into initiative. Second, it is possible to rearrange me.
Work, because after I was dismissed, the Ministry of Education released the news many times. We believe that I was removed from office together with Comrade Li.
It doesn't matter, so I should go regardless of organizational principles or courtesy. So Gao Wei and I took the train in August.
I arrived in Beijing on the eighth.
On the morning of the 9th, the person in charge of the Personnel Department of the Ministry of Education arranged for me to meet with the principal person in charge of the Ministry of Education. When I learned that there was
When the real boss was present, I said I didn't want to see him. If he attends, I won't attend either, because I have been removed from my post.
It was all arranged by himself, and he took the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction with my reform. The relationship is very stiff, one wants to participate and the other wants to participate.
One side didn't want him to attend, and it was deadlocked. What shall we do? Finally, Deputy Director Zhu Kaixuan called me many times to explain.
The person in charge is very sincere and came back from Beidaihe to see me. I hope I can clarify the misunderstanding in person and make it clear.
. In this case, we didn't insist, but took the overall situation into consideration.
The conversation was so awkward that no one seemed to want to speak first. After a moment of silence, it's still the first.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he said, "Comrade Yudao, there are too many misunderstandings between us. In fact, we have always been very willing to transform Wu Da.
Yes, I'm sure your work ... "I interjected," This is not a misunderstanding, but your reform of Wuhan University.
Look too deeply, didn't you say,' The credit system in the United States failed, and the Soviet Union produced outstanding talents without the credit system!' this
How can you say that you are positive about the reform of Wu Da University? Since you are sure of my work, why don't you understand?
Remove me from my post? The headmaster can be improper, and right and wrong must be clarified. Also, I was at the United Nations on June 5438+0986+February 15.
At an academic seminar sponsored by UNESCO, he gave a lecture on "Several Issues of Macro-management of Higher Education".
Academic report. However, after the meeting, you sent someone to collect the tapes of my speech. What is your intention? This is extremely unfair,
This speech was published in the Journal of Higher Education and Shanghai Higher Education Research. Do you still need a collection?
This is an illegal act and grossly tramples on the academic research policy. "
The person in charge argued, "I'm not pointing at you." I heard that a professor of Wuhan University was very excited when he spoke at the meeting.
I would rather be expelled from the Party than criticize the State Education Commission. I think this professor has a problem with me, so I want to find the tape.
Listen, so you can check your work. "
"No, it must be for me, and a series of facts later illustrate this point. I think, in the reform,
It is normal to have different opinions, but you must never use your power to retaliate against those who disagree 2. "
Of course, the conversation was fruitless and broke up in discord. In the afternoon, the head of the personnel department accompanied us to Beidaihe and stayed.
At the National Teachers' Holiday Activity Center.
According to the agreement, I will meet with comrades on the morning of August 6. This is a two-story villa, hidden in
Among the towering pines and cypresses, there are green grass and flowers all around. Accompanied by the head of the personnel department of the Education Commission, wearing
After layers of heavily guarded guards, I finally came to the reception hall. That conversation was between me and Comrade Li.
Neither his secretary nor the head of the personnel department was present.
We met for the first time and exchanged a few pleasantries. He first opened the topic and said, "This time, you were invited by a person."
I want to have a heart-to-heart talk, mainly to listen to your views on the education situation, especially to talk about your suggestions on education reform.
Opinions on the work of the Family Education Committee. At the same time, I also want to exchange views on your work arrangement. "
Now that I am out of consideration, I will make the following comments in an honest manner:
First of all, I introduced the teaching reform of Wuhan University in the past eight years. Generally speaking, we emancipate our minds and reform.
Great progress has been made, and six new teaching and management systems have been created closely around the reform of the teaching system.
The quality of teaching has been greatly improved, and the quality of students has been improved in an all-round way. Graduates are deeply influenced by society, especially coastal open cities.
Welcome to visit. In addition, the reform of scientific research system, personnel system and logistics system has made the school.
There has been a thriving situation, and scientific research achievements and academic works have gained unprecedented harvest. Therefore, Wuhan University was
Known as "Shenzhen on the front of higher education".
Secondly, I also talked about my views on the situation of national education reform. In my opinion, the pace of national education reform is seriously lagging behind.
After the economic reform, the "Decision on the Reform of the Education System" adopted by 1985 was basically not implemented, and the education funds were not only gone.
It has increased, but the absolute value of its proportion has decreased. The reform in the field of teaching is not included in the work agenda of the State Education Commission at all, so as to
As for the old educational concept, teaching system, teaching content and teaching methods, they occupy a dominant position in our school education.
To put it bluntly, the education front is the most conservative in the country, because the State Education Commission is conservative, and the main person in charge will not let go.
Yes, not reform, not going deep into the grassroots. This situation is just as Liang Qichao, the pioneer of the reform and reform, said: "Reform does not change the source,
Changing branches and leaves, not changing the whole, but changing one end, has no effect and will only increase the harm. "Today, the situation of education reform in China is
Therefore, if we don't take effective measures, the prospect is worrying.
Third, about the so-called leadership adjustment of Wu Da. In my opinion, this kind of team adjustment is undemocratic and unfair.
Right and wrong. In 2 1 day, the working group not only failed to conduct extensive democracy tests, but also found only six teachers.
Give individual talks and ignore the opinions of more than 95% teachers and students in the school. The so-called normal transition is also inconsistent with the actual situation.
Yes, my appointment has no term. If it must be changed in four years, it has not expired, and it is the same as what I took at the same time.
A 6 1 year-old female vice-principal still retains her post, but as a 54-year-old principal who inspires reform, she will be removed from her post. In this regard, I
I don't accept what I said, and neither do I. I can be wrong, but I want to explain the reasons and distinguish between right and wrong.
Finally, about the work arrangement. I said, since I was dismissed, I hope I won't arrange it again. meanwhile
The cadres in our country are still lifelong, and they can only be promoted but not removed, only high and not low, and only officials but not the people.
It will be abolished sooner or later. Since I am inspirational to reform, I am determined to start with me, and I am willing to be an ordinary person.
. Besides, leadership work is like eating meat, and there are times when you are tired. I am tired now. I'm so tired. I need it.
Take a break and try another life.
Comrade Li listened patiently to my introduction and did not interrupt my speech. When I'm finished.
He commented on my speech one by one. He said:
"Regarding the reform of Wuhan University, the direction is correct, the achievements are the main ones, and the response from the education sector is also good.
You are full of reform spirit, enterprising spirit, pragmatic style and close contact with the masses, which must be affirmed. about
I know nothing about the adjustment of the leadership of Wuhan University, and I can't say anything wrong. However, both
However, if it has been adjusted, we must face the reality and admit it. I hope you can move on. No one can deny the achievements of the reform.
Yes, right and wrong will be discussed later, so there is no need to mention it now. I think it is very important to arrange my own work and continue to work there.
Play a role in the reform, and work practice will tell everything.
As for your job, you can choose, you can come to Beijing, you can go to coastal cities, and you can be an ambassador abroad.
You can also go to the library as a counselor. However, I hope you will come to Beijing and prepare to set up a leader in education reform and development planning recently.
Team, working under the direct leadership of the State Council, I suggest you take this job. How's it going? If you can't decide now,
Go back and think about it before making a decision. "
The hour hand has pointed to 12, and the conversation has been going on for 3 hours. Looks like it should be over. So I said, "Tie Ying boy.
Tzu Chi is very busy at work. Thank you for taking the time to see him. As for the work arrangement proposal you mentioned, I need to think it over before giving a reply.
. "
"all right! Let's call it a day and contact you later. "
In fact, these are all pleasantries. When I say "seriously consider", I just answer politely and tactfully.
Rejected his suggestion; What he said about "contact again" was also a courtesy, and we never contacted again.
You can see for yourself.
