In 1955, **, accompanied by Zhou Shizhao, went to visit his mentor Yang Shuda. Yang Shuda has always demanded himself with strict standards
Teacher Yang resolutely refused to accept the money, unless he knew the money. Zhou Shizhao immediately explained the ins and outs of the money, and Mr. Yang was willing to accept it after listening to it. So where did this money come from?
**What kind of common experience did you have with Mr. Yang Shuda? One summer in 1955, in a modest bungalow in Changsha, the linguist Yang Shuda, who was already over half a hundred years old, was sitting at home writing articles.
In the dead of night, there was a sudden sound of conversation in the courtyard. It turned out that Chairman *** and Zhou Shizhao came to visit Mr. Yang Shuda. Zhou Shizhao smiled and said to Teacher Yang, "Teacher, who do you see coming to see you?" ”
Yang Shuda looked at the familiar face in front of him, but he didn't react for a while. The chairman stepped forward, shook Mr. Yang's hand, smiled and said, "Teacher, I am your student, do you remember me?" ”
** Recognized by Yang Shuda, they sat down after greeting warmly, recalling the eventful years spent together more than 30 years ago. In Yang Shuda's heart, ** is both his student and his friend.
They once went on strike together to go to Beijing, when Yang Shuda was a teacher at the Hunan No. 1 Normal School.
Yang Shuda, a linguist born in Changsha, Hunan Province, has rigorous classes and strict requirements for students. His meticulous teaching attitude made the class serious and serious, and the students listened silently and attentively in the class, not daring to refute him easily.
However, one day, while lecturing, he met a student who dared to challenge him, which surprised him greatly.
In class, teacher Yang Shuda had a heated academic discussion with the students. Although *** is not a student in Yang Shuda's class, he admires Teacher Yang's knowledge very much and came to audit.
However, this audit made Yang Shuda deeply impressed the student.
In the following days, ** would occasionally go to observe Yang Shuda's class, and the two would also have in-depth exchanges in private. ** Yang Shuda was deeply inspired by these insights during this process, and the two gradually established a relationship of mentor and friend.
Soon after, in March 1918, the warlord Zhang Jingyao led his troops to occupy Hunan, ostensibly in the name of protecting the people, but in fact he indulged his troops to plunder the people's property everywhere, suppressed the students' patriotic movement, and even carried out burning, killing and looting, causing the people to live in poverty and social unrest.
** and the classmates were enthusiastic, for the sake of social stability, they stepped forward, created student organizations, and launched Yang Shuda's teacher Yang Shuda in various parts of Hunan to lead the students to go around to ask for the people's lives.
Although he is a scholar, he is physically strong, standing at the front of the ** team, shouting loudly and responding to every call.
** Recognize that while the struggle in Hunan is important, we need to spread our voice throughout the country if we want to win a greater victory. Therefore, he encouraged the students to go to all parts of the country to seek support and let more people have a career.
Our work has also achieved remarkable results.
At that time, there were Zhang Jingyao's forces inside and outside Hunan, and there were many of his comrades in Beijing, so it would definitely be dangerous to go to Beijing this time. Just when the students were hesitating, Yang Shuda stood up decisively and led everyone to join the ** group and go to Beijing.
At the gate of Xinhuamen Beiyang, many soldiers were armed with bayonets, waiting to block the first team.
During the expulsion movement, Yang Shuda marched forward bravely, standing at the forefront almost against the soldier's bayonet, and he raised his arms hoarsely and shouted. At the same time, ** is also actively working on it.
After everyone's joint efforts, Beiyang ** finally compromised and let Zhang Jingyao leave Hunan. This campaign was a success, and it also deepened the tacit cooperation and friendship between *** and Yang Shuda.
New Copywriting: * Leaving Hunan, Yang Shuda stayed in Hunan to teach and continue to follow the progress of the revolution. He devoted himself to his studies, became an expert in linguistics and historical texts, and taught at universities.
Yang Shuda is over sixty years old, academically successful, and prosperous, and could have enjoyed his old age in peace, but he has not stopped his pursuit of knowledge.
In 1949, the defeat of the Kuomintang was assured, and Chiang Kai-shek still resisted to the end. In February, he ordered Chen Mingren to lead his army into Changsha to prepare for a decisive battle with the People's Liberation Army.
At this time, hundreds of thousands of ordinary people lived in Changsha City, and there were many historic sites and shops in the city. If the battle starts in Changsha, it will bring great damage and impact to the city and the lives of ordinary people.
Aware of the gravity of the situation, Yang Shuda decided to put aside his academic studies for a while and devote himself to thinking about how to protect the bustling city from the flames of war. His heart was filled with courage and tenacity, and a bold plan was born.
It sounds simple, but it's actually fraught with danger. At that time, the Kuomintang was losing and retreating, and people in the army were panicking, and many people chose to revolt or surrender after seeing the general situation of the country.
In order to prevent the Kuomintang generals from defecting to the PLA, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Secret Service to place spies in the army, and if there was any sign of an uprising or surrender, they would immediately arrest and kill them.
In such a chaotic situation, in such a predicament, he went to Chen Mingren's headquarters alone, and despite the danger, he still moved forward bravely. His actions deeply moved Chen Mingren, and finally prompted Chen Mingren to lead an army to revolt, so that Changsha could be peacefully liberated.
Yang Shuda contributed to this.
When the news of the founding of the People's Republic of China came, Changsha City returned to tranquility. Yang Shuda, a resolute scholar, not only bravely spoke up for the people in turbulent times, but also actively put forward constructive suggestions to ** in peacetime.
In the process, he reconnected with ***.
Yang Shuda adheres to the spirit of academic independence and has the courage to make suggestions to relevant departments in Beijing on academic issues. In 1954, he actively reported the problem to the cultural department in Beijing, although he did not get a timely response at the beginning, but he understood that *** had a lot of opportunities, so he did not try to pull the relationship, but directly identified himself and asked *** straight to the point.
When *** received the letter, his mood was like a sunny spring day, and he immediately wrote back to the deceased Yang Shuda, who was also a teacher and friend, to express his deep respect for him.
Soon after, the problem reported by Yang Shuda was solved, and he did not write to *** again, because he knew that *** was busy with affairs and did not want to disturb his work in any way.
It's just that this deep teacher-student affection is deeply imprinted in his heart, like a bright lamp, illuminating his way forward. And Beijing's *** has always remembered the old man Yang Shuda in his heart.
In the summer of 1955, Yang Shuda was concentrating on writing at home, and suddenly *** came to visit, and it has been more than 30 years since they were separated, but the two sides are still cordial. They recalled the eventful years of expelling Zhang Jingyao and persuading Chen Mingren to liberate Changsha City, and couldn't help but sigh that time flies and youth is fleeting.
During the conversation, ** noticed that there were many small medicine jars on the teacher's desk, and after asking, he learned that the teacher was suffering from a variety of diseases.
1.* Seeing the teacher's humble home, he thought that he might need money to buy medicine, so he took out 500 yuan and handed it to the teacher's wife. The teacher politely excused herself, and the teacher also asked seriously.
Zhou Shizhao suggested on the side, and Yang Shuda finally accepted ***'s kindness after listening to it. 2.* Seeing that the teacher's family was poor, he speculated that he might need money to buy medicine, so he gave 500 yuan to the teacher's wife.
The teacher excused herself, and the teacher also asked seriously. Zhou Shizhao interceded on the side, and Yang Shuda accepted ***'s help after hearing it.
**I promised Yang Shuda that I would have the opportunity to meet again and talk about academic issues. Yang Shuda is a representative of intellectuals, and the friendship between him and *** shows the true meaning of "gentlemen's friendship is as light as water".
His questioning about "money comes from **" fully reflects his strict requirements for students. Yang Shuda is not only a teacher, but also a master admired by all of us.
