Professor Wang Defeng was a worker at the Dongfeng Nonferrous Alloy Factory in Shanghai, and was admitted to the Department of Philosophy of Fudan University after the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1978. After graduation, he stayed on to teach, and his teaching style was very charming, passionate, and insightful, and he was deeply loved by students and was known as the "Prince of Philosophy". Wang Defeng was the vice president of Fudan University, a professor and a doctoral supervisor of the School of Philosophy of Fudan University.
Professor Wang Defeng's students commented: "Our tutor is not only a scholar who is locked up in a study, but also has a deep understanding of social reality and a deep concern for the future of the nation. ”
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Professor Wang Defeng's comments on the current situation in China to become popular all over the Internet, he said: "Today's China is indulgent, all kinds of desires, since the reform and opening up for 30 years, the Chinese nation has formed such a folk custom, each eats its own ability, each seeks its own strength, disputes are put into law, and the future is handed over to chance, of course, there is nothing to blame, but if this folk custom, accompanied by heavy utilitarianism, Lightly moral, this nation will not be able to be at peace with the inside and outside, and it is impossible for a nation to use the currency it has as the foundation of its existence. ”
In today's society, he should be one of the only professors who can worry about the country and the people and dare to tell the truth, and his talent and personality charm always attract and conquer the hearts of the listeners, and he is very full of master style.
Professor Wang Defeng commented on some of the shortcomings of today's university education: "Universities should not only pursue the cultivation of social elites, but should also devote themselves to cultivating the backbone of the nation and the world. Mr. Zhu Kezhen said it well, don't think that you come to the university to be an engineer or a doctor in the future, and people should come to the university to do academics in order to be able to take on great responsibilities and transfer the fortunes of the country in the future. ”
Professor Wang Defeng said: "These words may sound heavy, but in order to make our lives meaningful, we must grasp this heaviness. So, in his first lecture after being invited to the University of Berlin as head of the philosophy department, Hegel said, "What should young people do in the university?"There is only one thing that is most important – the pursuit of truth. ”
And such a master who can be compared to the ** master is talked about by some people with ulterior motives because he likes to smoke in the lecture hall. The problems related to the fate of the country pointed out by the professor are not faced, reflected, and not improved, and only make a fuss about some small flaws in the life of the master, which is really boring and has no pattern.
The master is not ordinary, the master is individual, informal, Professor Wang Defeng's cigarette and the great poet Li Bai's wine have the same effect. Many years ago, the leaders of Shanghai had already acquiesced to Professor Wang Defeng's habit of smoking during lectures.
