When I was a freshman, I knew that our head teacher was Li Meng, and then, well, I didn't feel anything. . . I just think this name is strange, which fits his native place in Northeast China.
Later, he gave us a class meeting and recommended a list of books to tell us what to read as a freshman philosophy undergraduate. He wrote few books on philosophy, but many books on history and literature. However, in this book list, Mr. Wang translated or wrote the most books, and I realized that the rumor that he and Brother Fei were good friends was true. . .
Then he sent me a short message, saying that if he had time, we would have dinner and talk together. I'm really flattered. I didn't know a university teacher would be so responsible. That time we had dinner in the school cafe. He ordered a bibimbap, and I also ordered a bibimbap. I eat quickly. As a result, when I saw Mengda eating, I found that he ate faster than me. . . So this situation changed from eating and chatting to chatting with me in Kan Kan immediately after he finished eating. . . He asked me what books I had read recently. At that time, we were having an introduction to religion. Teacher Wu Fei talked about brothers karamazov. In order to learn that course well, I ate a whole 900-page book. When Mengda learned that finishing a book was a sign of higher education, he was very happy. Later, when I talked about my future plans, I said that I might want to study law. Meng Da said that every teacher wants to keep good students, but if he has his own ideas, he will still support them. Then, he recommended me books on the basic law, one is Lord Denning's due process of law, and the other is Bowman's law and revolution. These two books really carry a lot of weight, and later the teacher of law school recommended me to read them. This shows that Mengda is knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of many aspects. In addition, he also said that philosophy is more suitable for people after the age of 25 to learn.
After that, we have a class meeting. He said something to us, which I still can't forget. He said that you didn't receive four years of philosophy education in Peking University-four years is impossible to understand philosophy-but you actually received four years of undergraduate education in the philosophy department of Peking University. Indeed, the professional courses I have taken in recent years are nothing, but the education I have received has really benefited me for life.
When I was a sophomore, I chose a double major. After a while, I felt that there was no gain compared with water, so I talked with Mr. Li Meng. After sending the email, he replied quickly and found time to chat with me. It is because of this conversation that I decisively quit my double degree. This time, he told me another sentence that has been used for a long time. He said that every year you will take many classes, most of which are washed away, but you must take one or two abusive classes every semester, and only in this way can you gain something. Starting from this semester, I will choose or take at least one course in my graduate school every semester. These experiences are really rewarding.
When I was a sophomore, we had a research project for undergraduates. I never knew. One day I checked my email and found that he sent me an email saying that you would not consider applying for undergraduate research? Then, I asked him to find a time and ask some questions (this time I learned a lesson, ate faster than him, and my sense of accomplishment was bursting. . . )。 What he said is very true. Undergraduate students give you money for scientific research and urge you to read books. Why not seize such a good opportunity? Then, I applied, and then I saw edmund burke more deeply, which I was more interested in. This is probably the most serious one I wrote before my graduation thesis, and I am especially grateful for the gains from it. In addition, during this meal, Mengda also received a phone call from her mother. At that time, his original words were, sorry, I took a phone call from my mother. Then, he told his mother in a particularly filial tone, I won't go back for dinner tonight, I will eat with my classmates in the canteen, and I will go back later. Don't worry.
When the summer vacation of sophomore year arrived, he held a discussion class with Qiang Shigong, Zhao Xiaoli, Zhang Yongle and other good friends. This is a very internal activity, I don't know. Because there are many teachers in the local law school, he still thought about my desire to study law in the future, so he sent me an email and asked me if I was interested in going. Then I went to attend, which was an opportunity to get in touch with strong teachers. This is something I have always been grateful for.
He gave us an introduction to ethics in his junior year. The first sentence is that he finally taught you a lesson. He lectures deeply, but he often jokes, such as black, black. Although his class will be abusive, it must be both interesting and rewarding.
In senior three, he was also very concerned about the whereabouts of each of us. During the insurance research, he told us that he would tell me immediately when he decided to go. I sent him a text message after I confirmed my job, and he replied quickly, saying congratulations. It is really rare for a teacher to take students' affairs so seriously.
Besides your own business, tell me about a senior. Senior, a few years older than us, is looking for an undergraduate thesis. One day, the senior finished his thesis, and it was already one or two in the morning. She sent the letter to Mengda, thinking that it would take some time to receive a reply. As a result, the next morning she saw 47 revisions, ranging from ideas to comments. This matter is enough to see the fierce responsibility.
In addition, when I was in history class, the teacher met Meng Da during his visit to the United States, and he expressed his admiration for him more than once in class. I often talk about xxx. Ask the expert Mr. Li Meng. When the teacher talked about the Renaissance, he said that Leonardo da Vinci was an omniscient genius, and I think Li Meng of the philosophy department was almost a genius.
Dare to talk about academic things, can only be a great success. At that time, when I was in the history of western philosophy, when I talked about Aristotle, the teacher said that Mr. Li Meng was an expert on Aristotle. Speaking of Descartes, the teacher said that Mr. Li Meng was an expert on Descartes; Later, when we talked about Kant, the teacher said you could go to Li Meng. . . That sounds horrific. . . According to my classmates in the sociology department, teachers in the society often say that Li Meng is the most promising person in sociology in China.
Mengda was the top liberal arts scholar in Liaoning Province at that time. Later, he went to the University of Sociology and went to Peking University to study for a master's degree. Then stay in school to teach and become one of the top ten teachers. A few years later, he went to the Social and Ideological Committee of the University of Chicago to study for a doctorate, and then he joined the philosophical circle. . . Although it is the base camp of Shipai, Mengda still has a deep understanding of Cambridge School. He always mentioned Bokkock and Skinner, and frankly, there was something wrong with the stone tablet.
There is another joke. More than ten years ago, when he was a class teacher in the Social Studies Department, several students drank too much and went to the bottom of the dormitory building, which provoked people from other colleges. As a result, they fought and the students were sent to the police station. I got a call in the middle of the night, bought cigarettes and wine, and went to the police station to catch people. I worked so hard that I vowed never to be a class teacher again. As a result, I became our class teacher. . . But fortunately, we didn't give him so much trouble. . .
Well, for example, endlessly. To sum up, as a personal friend, Meng Da is particularly cheerful and loyal (his laughter is really hearty). As a scholar, he is very level and rigorous in his studies (he is often found reading books while eating in the canteen). As a teacher, I am very responsible.
