1 937165438+1October1,three universities opened in Changsha, which is the predecessor of National Changsha Temporary University-National Southwest Associated University. 1938, National Changsha Temporary University moved to Kunming, Yunnan, and was officially renamed National Southwest Associated University.
National Southwest Associated University was jointly founded by the three best universities in China at that time, and its teaching was naturally the top level. Although the school's teaching and living conditions are poor, the professors of the National The National SouthWest Associated University have overcome all kinds of difficulties, produced a number of high-level important research results, and trained a large number of talents. Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao, who later won the Nobel Prize in Physics, both graduated from National Southwest Associated University. National Southwest Associated University also trained 174 academicians of the two academies.
Of course, the professors who were able to teach in the National The National SouthWest Associated University belonged to the best scholars and people in China at that time. Such as Zhu Ziqing, Hu Shi, Chen Yinque, Qian Mu,,, Hua Luogeng, Ye, Zhou Peiyuan, Xu Xiang, Feng Jinglan, Zhao Jiuzhang, Pan Guangdan and Yu Guanying. They are either high flyers who studied in Europe and America or graduates from Peking University and Tsinghua.
Mei Yiqi is the headmaster of Tsinghua University. In his inaugural speech, he said: "A great scholar is not an architect, but a master." This sentence is addressed to The National SouthWest Associated University. Because there are no buildings in The National SouthWest Associated University, but there are many masters.
However, in The National SouthWest Associated University's master's team, there is one person who is very special. He has no experience in studying in Europe and America, nor has he been to university. His highest education is only primary school. From now on, he is not even qualified to do logistics in the university.
His name is Shen Congwen.
Shen Congwen is a native of Fenghuang, Hunan Province. He was born on February 28th,190265438+and joined the army as a teenager. Later, Shen Congwen took off his military uniform and came to Beijing to go to college. However, he only attended primary school when he was a child, and he couldn't even touch the threshold of entering the university. So, he took another road, went to Peking University as an auditor and took courses for several years.
From this perspective, Shen Congwen's highest education can be called "Peking University Audit".
Shen Congwen was engaged in literary creation while auditing at Peking University. Over the past few years, Shen Congwen has published a number of works, gradually gained fame, gained a place in the literary world, and made many friends in the literary and educational circles. These friends can help him get a teaching position. From 65438 to 0929, Shen Congwen was recommended by his friend Xu Zhimo to teach at Wusong Chinese Public School.
China Public School is one of the earliest universities in China, and its president is Hu Shi. Shen Congwen can be a teacher in China University, not only thanks to Xu Zhimo, but also thanks to Hu Shi's tolerance.
Prior to this, Shen Congwen had never made a speech on stage. When he first boarded the platform, he was too nervous to speak in front of the students below 10 minutes, and just stood there. Later, I finally got up the courage to speak, which was also a mess. After Hu Shi knew it, he said with a smile, "If you can't speak in class and the students don't bombard him, it is success."
By the way, Shen Congwen's wife is Zhang Zhaohe, a female student of China College and a talented woman of noble birth.
Shen Congwen taught in China Public College for one year, and then went to the College of Literature of Wuhan University to teach at the recommendation of Xu Zhimo. In August, Shen Congwen was invited by Yang Zhensheng, president of Shandong University, to be a lecturer in China Literature Department of Shandong University. Shen Congwen taught in Shandong University for three years, teaching "the history of novels" and "prose writing". At this time, Shen Congwen has many years of teaching experience, and his lectures are clear and well organized, which is very popular among students.
Later, Yang Zhensheng returned to Peiping, and Shen Congwen followed him back to Peiping. Together, they were hired by the Ministry of Education to compile Chinese textbooks for primary and secondary schools.
/kloc-0 In the spring of 938, Shen Congwen arrived in Kunming, Yunnan from Beiping. Initially, Shen Congwen and Yang Zhensheng continued to compile Chinese textbooks for primary and secondary schools. 1in the spring of 939, Yang Zhensheng recommended Shen Congwen to Zhu Ziqing, director of the Chinese Department of the National The National SouthWest Associated University College of Literature. At Zhu Ziqing's suggestion,1On June 27th, 939, the Standing Committee of the National The National SouthWest Associated University 1 1 passed a resolution to hire Shen Congwen as an associate professor of Chinese Department of Normal University with a monthly salary of 280 yuan. 1On July 22nd, 943, Shen Congwen was promoted to Professor of Chinese Department of National The National SouthWest Associated University Teachers College with a monthly salary of 360 yuan.
Shen Congwen also teaches in the National The National SouthWest Associated University under pressure, where there are many masters. There is a saying that Liu Wendian, who is very conceited, despises Shen Congwen and says, "Chen Yinque is the real professor. He deserves 400 yuan, I deserve 40 yuan, and Zhu Ziqing deserves 4 yuan. But I don't give Shen Congwen 4 cents. " Liu Wendian accused Shen Congwen of running away together. After another air raid alarm sounded, he said, "Teacher Chen ran to save the quintessence of Chinese culture (Chen Yinque) and I ran to save Zhuangzi. But you are useless, why do you want to run! "
