Mao visited the Soviet Union and refused a visaStudents.
New China is in urgent need of scientific and technological talents. At a time when the country was in crisis, ** urgently selected outstanding young people to study in the Soviet Union, including the children of revolutionary martyrs and founding fathers.
Such as Ye Chumei, the daughter of ***, Ye Zhengda, Ye Zhengwang, the son of Ye Ting, Li Peng, the son of Li Shuoxun, Zou Jiahua, the son of Zou Taofen, Xiang Suyun, the daughter of Xiang Ying, Xiao Yongding, the son of Xiao Jinguang, and He Yi, the son of He Jinnian, and 21 others.
At the beginning of 1950, during his visit to the Soviet Union, he deliberately took time out to visit these students, cared about their life and study, encouraged them to study hard, and returned to China as soon as possible to contribute their talents to national construction.
These international students carry the expectations of the country and shoulder the heavy responsibility of building a new China, and their efforts and dedication will always be remembered in our hearts.
In the enthusiastic cheers of the students, they took out their notebooks one after another, looking forward to getting the *** autograph. ** When signing is always very serious, he will personally ask the other party's name, major, and according to the other party's situation to write words of encouragement, such as when signing for international students studying mining, he wrote "development of the motherland's mining", so that these signatures become very precious and have the value of collection.
However, not all of these 21 international students were able to get signatures, and 5 of them unfortunately did not get signatures. Why is that? Because these 5 students did not choose the engineering, machinery, electricity, chemical engineering and other disciplines that are most needed for the construction of the motherland, but chose Western philosophy and politics and other disciplines, which made *** feel dissatisfied.
Philosophy and politics, their importance cannot be overlooked. It is precisely these studies that lead the development of human thought and society. ** His obsession with philosophy and politics at a young age also reflects the high value he attaches to these two disciplines.
Why, then, is he dissatisfied with students studying philosophy and politics? The reason is that he believes that philosophy and politics are not easy to learn, let alone master by reading a few books in school.
In essence, philosophy and politics need to be summed up through experience and lessons. ** Extensive reading in his youth, accumulating solid basic knowledge, and through years of revolutionary practice, he summed up his own philosophical and political thoughts.
This experience gave him a deep understanding of philosophy and politics. However, today's young people often do not have a solid foundation, so they want to learn those advanced philosophical theories, which obviously does not work.
They may just memorize empty theories, but they don't really work. What is even more serious is that these Chinese young people disdain thousands of years of Chinese philosophical thought, but blindly worship Western philosophical ideas and political theories, believing them to be the best medicine to change China.
This kind of behavior will undoubtedly have a negative impact on Chinese philosophical thought. Therefore, we need to be vigilant against these phenomena and deeply understand philosophy and politics in order to truly grasp their power.
In the past, the Chinese revolution experienced many difficulties and challenges, including many theorists who returned from the Soviet Union, although they were very insightful in theory, but they knew very little about the actual situation in China, and sometimes even led to the failure of the Chinese revolution.
** The chairman himself has experienced such troubles, and has often been ostracized and attacked by these people, so he deeply resents the phenomenon of China's theory being divorced from reality.
In addition, the President also objected to young people studying philosophy and politics on a deeper level. Before the May Fourth Movement, most of the so-called scholars and masters were "repeaters" copied under the imperial examination system, and they would only quote scriptures and study piles of "old papers", but they did not have the real knowledge to help the people.
This phenomenon persisted after the May Fourth Movement, and these people still controlled the academic world, touted each other, and sold fame and reputation, which had a very bad impact on society.
Even a truly thoughtful person like Lu Xun would rather quit the ivory tower than be in the company of them. * The chairman is very repulsive to such people, he likes to talk to them about poetry and songs, but he thinks they don't understand how to govern the country and serve the society.
Some people are self-righteous and even point fingers at areas they have never set foot in, which is really disgusting. ** He expressed a deep dislike for the five international students who studied philosophy and politics, and he believed that learning a really useful subject was the key.
Since then, the saying "learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to go all over the world" has spread in New China, emphasizing the combination of practice and knowledge. Of course, mathematics, physics and chemistry are important, but literature, history and philosophy should also not be ignored.
The original intention of ** is not to deny literature, history and philosophy, but to hope that young people will not be nerds who are immersed in hard study, but to combine the knowledge they have learned with social reality, apply what they have learned, and become talents who are truly beneficial to the society.
