This university, with the poorest, most broken, and most unaffordable attitude, has created a peak. Peaks, legends, unsurpassed miracles.
She only existed for 8 years and 8 months, but she influenced China for at least 80 years, and she is legendaryNational Southwest Associated University, abbreviationSouthwest Associated University
July 7, 1937The Seventy-Seven IncidentThat isThe Lugou Bridge IncidentThe outbreak of the war of aggression against China was launched, which also opened the prelude to the national war of resistance against Japan.
The small days rely on advanced military weapons. equipment and equipment, wantonly trampling on our land, bombing indiscriminately, and inhumanely.
In July, Nankai University was bombed by Japanese planes, and most of the campus buildings were burned down.
At this critical moment,Tsinghua University, Peking University, Nankai UniversityThe three institutions of higher learning made an urgent decision: in order not to let the devil break. To destroy our cultural roots and preserve our vital forces, we must quickly evacuate Pingjin in a very short period of time, and move to Changsha under the instruction of the first party.
President of Nankai UniversityZhang BolingPresident of Tsinghua UniversityMei Yiqiand the President of Peking UniversityJiang MenglinThe three of them were appointed as members of the Preparatory Committee of Changsha Provisional University, and the three schools were merged in ChangshaChangsha Provisional University。However, I don't want to die in a small day. Death, step by step, less than a year after arriving in Changsha, the devil caught up.
He was the principal at the timeMei YiqiIt was decided that if we continue to move south, we must not let the small life succeed, and as long as China's higher education does not stop, hope will always be there.
In February 1938, Changsha Linda began to move to Kunming, and teachers and students were required to report to Kunming on March 15.
Due to the difficulty of transportation during the war, girls and infirm boys traveled from the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway to Guangzhou and Yunnan via Hong Kong and VietnamSome students went to Guilin along the Xianggui Highway and entered Yunnan through Liuzhou, Nanning and VietnamMore than 200 male students organized a tour group of Hunan, Guizhou and Yunnan, with a journey of more than 3,200 miles and 68 days, crossing the three provinces of Hunan, Guizhou and Yunnan. Master of Chinese StudiesChen YinkeAfter his father Chen Sanli would rather die than be a slave to the country and die on a hunger strike, he decisively refused Xiaori's request to invite him to teach in the mountains. In order to get rid of the harassment, he gave up the most of the **retinal detachment. In the best period, I would rather be blind than rush to Kunming to reopen the Chinese culture class.
Professor of the Department of Physics, Tsinghua UniversityZhao ZhongyaoAt the moment before departure, he decided to risk his life to infiltrate the laboratory occupied by devils and put China at that time. One of 50 mg of radioactive materialRadiumTake it out and take it away. In this way, he hugged him all the wayRadium, from Beijing to Changsha, and from Changsha to Kunming, and so on to Kunming. Two festering and swollen blood grooves had burned out of his chest, and he used his life to save all the belongings of China's high-energy physics at that time.
In April 1938, the National Changsha Provisional University was renamed the National Southwest Associated University, with 26 departments in five colleges, including arts, science, engineering, law and commerce, and teacher training, as well as two specialized courses and one elective class.
But then even greater difficulties began, there were no classrooms, no dormitories, no equipment, no canteens, and nothing but people. Principal Mei Yiqi invited a master architectLiang SichengDesign the campus. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and it is difficult for Liang Sicheng to get his draft ready, because the money is too little.
PrincipalMei Yiqisaid: Sicheng, with your generosity, please revise the draft again, we really don't have money. But I'll keep it with you. Certificate, isoresistant. After the victory of the war, I will definitely return you to the best university in the world. So,Mei Yiqi, Jiang Menglin, Zhang BolingIn order to expand the scope of knowledge, the University has opened a total of 1,600 courses, and there is no limit to how many majors you can study. But there is one item, which is a hard and fast rule, students who study liberal arts must take at least one natural science, whether it is a science or an engineering subject, all students must take itGeneral History of China, General History of the West, Mandarin and English
Principal Mei Yiqi said: The country needs generalists, these courses are basic courses, and they must be learned.
Therefore, in the United Nations General Assembly, the more basic the course, the better the lecturer is matched, and they are all masters, such as:
Zhu Ziqing, Wen Yiduo, Liu Wendian, and Shen Congwen who taught Mandarin.
Ye Gongchao, Qian Zhongshu, and Zha Liangzheng, who teach English.
Chen Yinke, Qian Mu, and Wu Han, who teach history.
It was Ye Qisun who taught physics.
It is Hua Luogeng who teaches mathematics.
At the same time, in order to ensure the gold content, all exams will be cancelled and retaken, and if you fail, you will be retaken, otherwise you will not be able to graduate. According to statistics, the University has enrolled more than 8,000 students in eight years, and only 3,882 have graduated.
According to statistics, during the Anti-Japanese War, devil fighters attacked Yunnan 281 times, and 27 planes were dispatched to bomb Kunming in turn.
When the air raid came, the students ran into the mountains and forests with their books in their hands, and as soon as the air raid passed, they immediately plunged into the Xi school. The teaching conditions are extremely difficult, and in order to make ends meet, they have to be changed. Good teaching environment, professors and professors' families are eight immortals across the sea, each showing their magical powers. Wu Han sells books, Zhu Ziqing sells manuscripts, Wen Yiduo lists and prints, Wu Dayou takes students and raises pigs, Principal Mei's wife sells Dingsheng cakes, and Feng Youlan's wife makes twists.
They had to walk a long way to attend classes at the United Nations University every day, but the professors said that they would rather be killed by a Japanese plane than miss a class.
It is with the persistence of all the teachers and students of the university that this least university-like university has climbed Mount Everest in the history of Chinese education. Hua LuogengHe wrote the academic monograph "Theory of Stacked Prime Numbers", which opened up a new discipline for the history of mathematics in the world
Chen Yinke, blind, wrote the "Sui and Tang Dynasty System Brief Discussion Draft";
Qian Mu, completed the "Outline of National History";
Wang Li, published Modern Chinese Grammar;
Wu Mi, written in English as "Outline of the History of World Literature";
Wu Dayou, wrote "The Structure of Polymolecules and Their Vibrational Spectra";
Tong for soup, wrote "Chinese Buddha. History of Teaching";
Feng Youlan, wrote the "Six Books of Zhenyuan";
Jin Yuelin, wrote "Theory of Knowledge", "On the Tao" and other works. These treatises have become the foundational works of various disciplines. Resist. During the eight years of the war, about 1,100 people joined the army before and after the Southwest Associated University, and they used what they learned to provide translation and technical guidance for the Chinese Air Force [Flying Tigers] and the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Sprinkle the sky, forever. Far from the battle. Field.
By August 1946, the United Nations General Assembly was dissolved, and the school had produced two world-renowned Nobel laureates and five national leaders. The winners of the High Science and Technology Award, eight winners of the Meritorious Service Medal of Two Bombs and One Star, 174 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and more than 100 masters of humanities are more than the total number of talents cultivated by Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Nankai University in the 30 years before the war.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China:
In 1964, a Chinese brother exploded an original Z bomb. Fried, 1967 Chinese brother a piece of hydrogen. Bounce. The bombing experiment was successful, and in 1970, a Chinese brother successfully launched an artificial satellite, and behind each item was the figure of the Southwest Associated University. In 2018, 16 surviving old Southwest Associated University people got together, and their average age was over 93 years old at that time. When the reporter asked them what kind of learning Xi experience they would pass on to the current youth, they said:A thousand years of shame, the snow has finally been;Xingye, Xu Renjie。The era that belongs to us has passed, and the future of China depends on you, please!
Where the mountains and rivers are broken, when the stars are shining.
Although the era of the country's ruin and family collapse has passed, the tough and resolute spirit of the Southwest Associated University needs to be inherited and carried forward.
