/kloc-in the autumn of 0/930, Wen Yiduo was employed by the National Qingdao University as the dean of the College of Literature and the head of the China Literature Department. At that time, Qingdao was a famous coastal city, and the colonial rule had a serious impact. The Japanese were arrogant and evil here. Some students of Qingdao University were beaten black and blue by Japanese ronin for no reason on the beach, but the Japanese ronin sent the students to the police station for detention. While smiling ingratiatingly at the Japanese, the police called and accused the school of conniving at the students. Wen Yiduo was furious and shouted, "China! China! Are you dead? " Look for the principal to judge. Under the strong protest of Wen Yiduo and the students, the police had to release the students. 1932, the power and interest dispute between Nanjing National Government and Shandong local forces extended to Qingdao University, and factional disputes and agitation broke out one after another. Wen Yiduo was attacked and slandered a lot and was forced to resign.

In the 1940s, Mr Wen Yiduo, a professor at Kunming United University, had insufficient salary to support his family, his wife was ill, and his family had many children, making life difficult to maintain. He once took part in amateur courses in middle school to earn money to support his family. But after only one year of teaching, he was expelled from the school on the charge of "spreading democracy and freedom to students", a friend's idea: engraving.

As a result, in the market of Kunming, there appeared the "running sample" printed by Wen Yiduo. And the small business done by acquaintances can hardly make money. In desperation, Wen Yiduo prepared a table and planned to set up a stall.

Wen Yiduo's printing stall was only set up for one day, and then he was persuaded to come back. But how can a family live without a stall? Finally, President Mei Yiqi contacted Zhu Ziqing, Shen Congwen and other professors 1 1, and jointly published an advertisement for Wen Yiduo in the newspaper, asking him to "set up an office" at home to engrave for others.

The advertisement stipulates the provisions of the "Golden Stone Running Example": "Lithography 1200 yuan, the tooth print is 3,000 yuan per word, and the border payment is counted as one word. If it is too big, it will be doubled."

Kunming people have a hobby of collecting ivory seals, and with the help of university professors, their business is endless. For more than two years, Wen Yiduo left more than 1400 prints on the printed spectrum. Over time, Wen Yiduo had a big pimple on his finger and his eyes were blurred. Wen Yiduo laughed at himself: "I am a handicraft worker. No matter how hard it is, it must be engraved! "
