Three articles on the celebration of Peking University.

Peking university anniversary article 1

One hundred and ten years of dreams and glory, and one hundred and ten years of seeking truth from facts and forging ahead, Peking University has left precious spiritual wealth to the Chinese nation and the whole world, created profound historical and cultural connotations, and formed a unique "Peking University Spirit". Rich knowledge, brilliant wisdom, solemn and fearless scientific thought, all of which are combined with honest and frank moral integrity, forming a special spiritual charm. "Patriotism, progress, democracy and science" has become the immortal soul of this holy land and a true portrayal of the mental outlook of teachers and students of Peking University.

On the occasion of the 1 10 anniversary of the founding of Peking University, Peking University News Center planned to launch the 1 10 anniversary "book promotion" special column as an annual "spiritual gift". Let's take the anniversary series as the breakthrough point, show the good moral demeanor of Peking University, reflect the image of Peking University teachers and students who are enterprising, energetic and actively involved in social welfare undertakings, and tell the eternal charm of Peking University spirit.

To commemorate the anniversary of Peking University's founding 1 10, Peking University News Center and School of Journalism and Communication of Peking University jointly launched a series of books on "Peking University's Influence", and "Peking University Spirit" is one of them. The articles included in the book mainly focus on the spiritual tradition of Peking University, or fully reflect the spiritual tradition of Peking University from a certain angle. Most of the authors are teachers and students who have studied and worked in Peking University.

Specifically, the articles included in this book mainly include the following categories:

First of all, it discusses the significance, purpose and policy of running a school in Peking University. For example, Zhang Baixi and others put forward in the Charter of Shi Jing University Hall that the purpose of establishing a university hall is to stimulate loyalty, enlighten wisdom, revitalize industry and cultivate generalists; Yan Fu put forward in On the Irresistible School of Peking University that an important function of a university is to "preserve all noble academics and worship the culture of the country". Cai Yuanpei also proposed in the preface of Peking University Monthly that universities should follow the principles of freedom of thought and inclusiveness, and so on.

The second is a direct exposition of the spiritual tradition of Peking University. For example, Ma Yinchu's and Jiang Menglin's articles are all directly titled "Peking University Spirit", and Ma Yinchu thinks: "The so-called activists of Peking University are also sacrificed. Serve the country and society, regardless of personal interests, go forward and realize their highest ambitions. " Jiang Menglin believes that Peking University has two spirits: generosity, tolerance and freedom of thought. And more authors talk about the spirit of Peking University in combination with important events such as the celebration of Peking University. For example, Lu Xun pointed out in My View of Peking University: "However, according to the facts in recent 78 years, firstly, Peking University is often the pioneer of the new reform movement, and it is necessary to make China take a good and upward road &; Hellip& amphellip Second, Peking University often attacks the dark forces, even if it is only itself. "

Third, the school spirit, teacher spirit, study style and memory of learning and teaching life of Peking University. For example, when Feng Zhi recalled his education in Peking University, he wrote: "But before opening the atmosphere, don't be a teacher &; Hellip& amphellip in a sense &; Hellip& amphellip was also the school spirit of Peking University at that time. " Lei Jieqiong wrote in "Developing Academics to Revitalize the Country": "From my practice of accepting the influence of Peking University and joining Peking University to become a member of the struggle for its mission, I think its sense of social responsibility and spirit of fighting for national prosperity and academic development are worth carrying forward." Ren wrote in Peking University's Old University: "Peking University's&; Lsquo big & rsquo； It is not the grandeur of the school building, but the broad academic tolerance. This invisible style of study enables future generations of Peking University to tolerate different academic viewpoints. "

The fourth is about Peking University's historical position and cultural mission. Regarding the historical position of Peking University, Ji Xianlin and George W. Chao Ran believe that the history of Peking University can be regarded as a continuation of imperial academy tradition, which makes patriotism and its closely related "integrity" an important tradition of Peking University. Peking University's cultural mission is also discussed by some authors in the article. For example, Li Dazhao thinks: "Only academic development in universities is memorable. Only academic performance is worthy of "Long live Peking University! "Fei Xiaotong believes that we China people have the responsibility to use modern scientific methods to accomplish the mission of' cultural consciousness', and Peking University should cultivate broad-minded scholars who can be inclusive, learn from others and keep pace with China's 5,000-year history.

Generally speaking, the author has different understandings of the specific connotation of Peking University spirit. Some tend to be patriotic and honest, some tend to be dedicated and responsible, some tend to be free and inclusive, some tend to be reform and innovation, and some tend to be democratic and scientific. These articles basically reflect the understanding and elaboration of the spiritual tradition of Peking University by teachers and students in different periods in the past 1 10 years, which has unique reference value for understanding, studying and publicizing the school situation and history of Peking University.

This book is published by China Publishing Group and World Book Publishing Company. For the convenience of editing, all articles are sorted according to the author's date of birth. In addition, the inscription on the cover of this book is a collection of original works by Mr. Cai Yuanpei.

Peking University Celebration Chapter II

Peking University, formerly known as Shi Jing University Hall, was founded in189865438+February. At that time, Shi Jing University Hall was not only the highest institution of learning in China, but also the highest educational administrative organ in China.

1965438+In May 2002, Shi Jing University Hall was renamed Peking University.

19 16 12, Mr. Cai Yuanpei became the president and implemented the policy of "inclusiveness", which fundamentally changed the face of Peking University. By 19 19, Peking University had developed into a university with 14 departments and more than 2,000 students, which was the largest institution of higher learning in China at that time.

19 19, the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal may 4th movement broke out in China, and Peking University was the birthplace of the may 4th movement. During the May 4th Movement, Peking University was the center of the New Culture Movement in China and the initial base for the spread of Marxism in China. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the school decided to hold a celebration on May 4th.

During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Peking University moved to Changsha and Kunming successively, and together with Tsinghua, Nankai and * * * formed Southwest Associated University. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, 1946 moved back to Beiping.

At that time, there were six colleges of arts, science, law, medicine, industry and agriculture and a liberal arts research institute in Peking University, with a total of 3,000 students. During the period of 1952, the departments were adjusted nationwide, and Peking University moved from the seaside to Yanyuan, gradually becoming a comprehensive liberal arts university focusing on basic science teaching and research. By 1962, the number of undergraduates reached 10 and 67 1. There are 280 graduate students.

1966 has brought a great disaster to Peking University. From 65438 to 0977, with the resumption of the college entrance examination system, Peking University entered a new period of development. 65438-0984, the school established a graduate school, and graduate education entered a stage of vigorous development.

The third anniversary of Peking University

1950 In September, I stepped into the school gate of Beidatan and entered the political department. On May 3rd 1998, it has been almost 48 years since I stepped into Peking University in the western suburbs again. When I entered school, I was a warm-blooded youth and a member of the New Democratic Youth League. Forty-eight years later, I have retired and come with my son, who just joined the Communist Youth League.

Entering the school twice reminded me of infinite memories and reminiscences.

1952 left his alma mater after the summer vacation, when the department was adjusted. Teachers and students from the political, legal and social departments of Peking University, Tsinghua, Yanjing and Fu Jen Catholic University were transferred to the newly established Beijing Institute of Political Science and Law. The campus is still in the original site of Beach Peking University, and one year later it moved to Xueyuan Road in the western suburbs, now known as China University of Political Science and Law. We, a group of teachers and students transferred from Peking University, have an inseparable complex with Peking University. As the centenary of my alma mater approached, I received invitations from the department and the alumni association, and newspapers and magazines often published articles about the anniversary, which made my imaginary memories seem vivid.

1950 In September, I was admitted to Peking University and other universities from Shanghai and went to Beijing for three days and two nights. The unforgettable moment when I entered the canteen next to Democracy Square to eat millet porridge; The dormitory is in the historic auditorium of the Third Hospital of Peking University. There is a bunk bed for everyone under the stage, and there is a small desk in front of the bed. There is a small square table on the stage, with electric lights hanging on it, like the Lantern Festival. It is a place for self-study, and several first-year students live here.

I am studying in the International Group of the Department of Political Science, and I have to take all the courses for English majors in the Western Department. Famous professors who taught us in Grade One are: Qian Duansheng, Lou Bangyan, Zheng Tianting, Zhu Guangqian, Pan Jiaxun and Mrs. Empson. There is also a young Mr Bi Ke Dunn who teaches English composition. He tells us a beautiful and vivid story in every class, which fascinates and interests us all. You can write a transcript; After listening. No matter how you play, this is your composition, how imaginative it is, and how to give full play to the creativity of students.

In the past two years, how many celebrities have we heard speak in our school, such as Guo Moruo, Ding Ling and Zhou Libo &; Hellip& amphellip and so on, I can't count them. Professor Hu Sheng teaches the course "Methodology of Marxism-Leninism" in a department of Peking University, and I am famous for listening to it. Marxism-Leninism is universally applicable and attractive, and I am not lacking in every class. The big classroom was crowded with people, but it was very quiet, and many disciples who were not disciples came.

The vigorous War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the wall newspaper and poems in Democracy Square, our propaganda in suburbs and villages, and the performance of live news dramas all left unforgettable memories.

In the hall of Jimintang, there was an impassioned debate about the failure of the volunteers to resist US aggression and aid Korea. In our class, students such as,,, Cai, Wu Zhushui and so on all joined the army. On the Democratic Square, the enthusiastic swearing-in meeting for joining the army is vivid.

The inauguration ceremony of President Ma Yinchu was held at 8: 00 a.m. on June 195 1 Sunday at the Democratic Square in Shanghai, Peking University. After Professor Tang Yongtong gave a welcome speech and introduced Mr. Ma, Minister Ma Xulun of the Ministry of Education announced that Mr. Ma Yinchu was appointed as the president of Peking University and congratulated him. In his speech, President Ma called on Mr. Ma to learn from his classmates, who should also learn from him. They should study, study and study again. He also said that he can learn Russian for 30 years now (President Ma was over 70 at that time), and he really used it for 30 years. He asked his classmates to be a good person who serves the people wholeheartedly.

Teachers and students from law schools of four universities participated in the land reform in Guangxi. Peking University and Fu Jen Catholic University formed a land reform group, led by professors Wang Tieya and Yang Chengzuo, and joined the land reform group of CPPCC led by Yang Hansheng, Cao in Liuzhou, Guangxi (Tsinghua and Yanjing land reform groups went to Nanning). Two students of Fu Jen Catholic University were shot by counter-revolution in Tai Po, and we were baptized by class struggle.

The newly established Beijing Institute of Political Science and Law is headed by Professor Qian Duansheng. He stayed at Beijing University of Political Science and Law until the end. Two things taught me a lot.

He was treated unfairly in the anti-rightist rectification movement in 1957, and suffered a serious impact in the ten-year turmoil. However, his original intention of loving the Party has not diminished, and he has always been strict with himself and constantly pursued progress. At the age of 8/kloc-0, he gloriously joined the China * * * production party. I am his student and work with him. At that time, he said that he believed that the party would always find and understand him. He never cares how others treat him and never speaks ill of others. This is a noble character.

Later, when I was compiling the textbook of economic law, I asked him about my writing. At that time, he was already an adviser to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Professor Peking University. He believes that to learn economic law, we must first learn civil law and other relevant Chinese and foreign laws. It has played an important guiding role in the compilation of economic law.

From thinking, being a man and learning the law, he is my forever teacher.

Another professor, Professor Wu Enyu, went to Beijing University of Political Science and Law to teach after the adjustment of the department. His major is the study of the history of political thought. After the founding of New China, some works of Marx and Engels were translated and annotated. What I especially admire is that he is also a red scientist who has made outstanding contributions to Cao Xueqin's research. Shortly after the end, I met him near the seaside West House. I said, you are a great red scientist. He said over and over again, "This is an amateur." He told me that he had been transferred to the Institute of International Politics of China Academy of Social Sciences as a researcher, which was his major. When I praised him for his good complexion, he solemnly told me that he had a heart attack and took medicine with him. I told him again and again to take good care and leave. 1979 12 12 that afternoon, when he was preparing to go to the United States to attend the seminar on a dream of red mansions, he had a heart attack and died before he could even take out the medicine in his coat pocket.

At the teacher-student get-together to welcome new students, Mr. Zhang Guohua played the piano, and his singing of Peking Opera "Wen Zhaoguan" and his voice on the beach echoed in his ears. Chi's study of A Dream of Red Mansions, especially Cao Xueqin's study, and his spirit of seeking truth from facts are always worth learning.

With the passage of time and the coming of the centenary of Peking University, the scenes of teachers and students of Peking University have become more vivid and fixed in memory.

1998 On the morning of May 3, my son went to participate in the rematch of the city's second-grade mathematics competition. After the game, he and I rode straight to the front of Peking University Yanyuan and took a commemorative photo. We marched in, took photos in the unnamed lake, walked around the unnamed lake, bought some souvenirs and came out from the south gate. My son marveled at the beauty of Peking University. On that day, the campus was crowded and colorful flags were flying, which was very lively. Alumni seem to be young again.

On May 4th, I went to the Great Hall of the People to attend the centennial celebration. I was told not to bring my bag. I didn't even bring my camera. I saw the flash flashing all the time as soon as I entered the door. There are many people with cameras, and I regret it.

It's even more regrettable to go in and sit down. Many alumni took photos with the podium of the centennial celebration of Peking University in the Great Hall of the People as the background. Who doesn't want to leave this once-in-a-century glorious moment?

The meeting started on time. From President Chen Jiaer's speech to Ye Jiandao, a student representative of Peking University, people entered the waves of modern China history. The history of Peking University and the history of the motherland are integrated, and the rise and fall of Peking University and the rise and fall of the motherland are integrated. Finally, Comrade Jiang Zemin made an important speech, summed up the history, raised hopes for the young students of Peking University, and called on the young people of contemporary China to continue to inherit and carry forward the glorious tradition of the May 4th Movement, strive to shoulder the historical mission of rejuvenating China, create achievements worthy of the times and the people, and March forward courageously towards the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!

Peking University students are standing at a new starting point.

On the afternoon of May 5th, my son and I visited the Red Chamber. Just above the welcome door of the Red House, there is a banner welcoming alumni of Peking University to visit the Red House, and there is a signature book and a guest book in the door. Now this is the office building of National Cultural Heritage Administration and other units, which gives people a brand-new feeling as soon as they enter the door.

We walked all the way to the east end of the Red Mansion. I remember 1950 when I entered school, there were two vertical signs inscribed by Guo Moruo, "Mr. Li Dazhao Memorial Room" and "Chairman Mao's Studio at School". Now only Mr. Li Dazhao's office is left. Chairman Mao's studio is in the west of the Red Chamber, where newspapers and periodicals are displayed and read. There is an endless stream of alumni visiting, and they all think that it is realistic to restore the original appearance of history now.

I stopped to meditate in front of the political department of the Red Chamber, as if I had returned to that unforgettable student days. During the visit, I also met the senior Shi Tanjing. Shi took his wife to explore the feelings of the past in the Red Chamber.

Among the alumni who have visited the Red Mansion, the oldest alumnus is Mr. Fu Zhenlun, who graduated from the History Department of 1929. He is a researcher at the Museum of Chinese History, and now he is 93 years old.

Many alumni also wrote poems. 1947 Zhao Zhendong, an alumnus who graduated from the law department, wrote: For forty years, Lao Yanfei asked who didn't remember the Red Chamber. The beach is full of classmates, and there is a cloud floating outside the sky. Represents the feelings of Peking University students for the Red Chamber.

After coming out of the Red Chamber, I visited Ji Min Hall. Unfortunately, I had to go out of the gate and go around to the west gate of the original beach. So I missed the visiting time, but when I saw the door closed, I could only watch from a distance. I wonder if the bust of Mr. Cai Yumin is still there? Return disappointed.

Maybe it's a historical complex! I think this part of Beidatan is the best preserved as a historical relic as a whole. When we saw the places where Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping and other revolutionaries of the older generation lived in modern Paris, we felt awe. In my opinion, in the process of China's modernization, it is necessary to study the historical sites like Beidatan as a whole and protect them properly.
