The scolding war in the south was confusing. First, Lu Xun scolded Zhou Hexuan, then Guo Moruo scolded Lu Xun, and then Guo and Lu scolded each other.
Zhang Junmai came out to speak for Zhou Hexuan and promote his socialist theory. Guo Moruo immediately turned around and scolded Zhang Junmai. When Zhang Junmai refuted Guo Moruo, Lu Xun wrote an article and scolded them both at the same time. Zhang Junmai and Guo Moruo immediately scolded Lu Xun in return.
Mr. Guo's participation in the war has nothing to do with "Guns, Germs and Steel".
The reason was that after Principal Chang rebelled against the revolution, Lu Xun and many progressive people wanted to jointly launch a new cultural movement.
Guo Moruo strongly opposed this and received approval from more people.
Lu Xun's mouth was so venomous that in his extreme anger, he wrote an article rudely: "From a distance, he looks like a dog, but up close, he looks like an Oriental dog. When he came to his eyes, oh, it turned out to be Mr. Guo Moruo."
Guo Moruo naturally wanted to fight back, enumerating Lu Xun's three major crimes, and calling Lu Xun "a remnant of feudalism on the literary and artistic front."
Immediately afterwards, members of the Creation Society, including Yu Dafu, immediately launched a siege on Lu Xun.
While Lu Xun was arguing with the Creation Society, he still found time to scold Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Junmai. Guo Moruo was not idle either. While scolding Lu Xun, he also refuted the authoritarian ideas of Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Junmai point by point.
Guo and Lu became old enemies from then on, and they fought against each other many times in the future. However, this time it turned into a three-party melee, and a socialist named Zhang Junmai appeared out of thin air.
In the end, everyone was scolding each other, and they could no longer distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
No more gossip.
Tianjin, Balitai.
Zhang Boling, the founder of Nankai University, stepped forward to greet me with a smile, shook hands and said, "Mr. Zhou, you are such a rare guest that I cannot even invite you."
"Haha, I came here uninvited this time." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
The radio station was almost ready. Zhou Hexuan directly resigned from his position as the editorial director of the supplement of "Popular" and handed over the management of "Popular" to Li Shoumin, while he concentrated on running the radio station.
Zhou Hexuan came to Nankai University this time to seek cooperation. He needed professional announcers, but the guys who came to apply for the job spoke so poorly in Mandarin that even those from Tianjin couldn't speak Mandarin. Their accents sounded like they were speaking
crosstalk.
In addition to the signature announcer, Zhou Hexuan also wanted to recruit some radio talents, so that one day there would be problems with the broadcasting equipment and he would have to go to the American devils for help.
Although Nankai University has not yet established a Department of Electrical Engineering, it already has related disciplines under the unified management of the School of Science.
Nankai is still very good. It is the first private university in the north to offer science, and it is also the first coeducational university in the north. Moreover, Nankai is rich and has the support of the Rockefeller Foundation. It will build a new campus if they disagree.
, New Department of Science and Technology.
In comparison, Peking University is much worse. Tsinghua University cannot even afford teachers’ salaries. Universities such as China and France are supported by the Boxer Indemnity. Peking University did not receive a dime from the Boxer Indemnity.
Zhang Boling introduced the two people around him: "Mr. Zhou, this is Mr. Jiang Lifu, the provost of Nankai University, and this is Mr. Rao Yutai, the dean of the Department of Physics of Nankai University."
Jiang Lifu, a mathematician, was responsible for the review and approval of many modern mathematical terms in China. The Harvard student Jiang Zehan we mentioned above was Jiang Lifu’s student.
When the Department of Mathematics in Nankai was founded, there was only one teacher, Jiang Lifu, who taught eight courses and also handled the administrative work of the Department of Mathematics. After Dr. Ling Bing left the school, Jiang Lifu became the acting dean of Nankai University.
job.
As for Rao Yutai, he was the founder of the Physics Department of Nankai University. Later, when he was at Changsha Temporary University (the predecessor of Southwest Associated University), Deng Jiaxian, Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao were all his students.
Zhou Hexuan shook hands quickly and said: "Hello, Professor Jiang, hello Professor Rao!"
"Mr. Zhou, I have admired you for a long time."
Jiang Lifu and Rao Yutai shook hands with Zhou Hexuan respectively.
Zhou Hexuan exchanged a few pleasantries and quickly explained the purpose of his visit: "Mr. Zhang, I want to open a radio station in Tianjin. We need announcers with Mandarin standards and technicians who are proficient in physics. I hope to cooperate with Nankai."
Before Zhang Boling could speak, Rao Yutai laughed: "This is not bad. Let students from the physics department work part-time to apply what they have learned and improve their practical skills."
A few years later, Nankai University established the Department of Electrical Engineering and also built a school-run radio station. All the equipment was built and assembled by the students themselves.
Zhou Hexuan added: "I plan to use one hour every day to broadcast academic programs. There is no limit to the content. It can be scientific knowledge, poetry and prose, or the latest academic research results. These are all produced by Nankai students themselves.
Certainly."
Zhang Boling was very excited after hearing this. It is a great thing for Nankai University that the school can launch a program on the radio.
"Mr. Zhou, I agree with your cooperation proposal," Zhang Boling said with a smile, "but since it's rare for you to come here, you should give lectures to the students first."
"Hahahaha, I knew I couldn't run away." Zhou Hexuan laughed.
The Balitai campus of Nankai University has only been newly built for a few years. It has all kinds of facilities, including its own science museum, and there is no shortage of auditoriums.
After lunch, Zhou Hexuan followed Zhang Boling to the auditorium.
Students who got the news rushed over one after another, and within a short time the seats were full, with people standing in the aisles.
Zhou Hexuan is a famous person in Tianjin, and the local students are very familiar with him. How could they miss this good opportunity to have close contact? Not to mention the university department, even the middle school department heard the news and came to see many students.
Looking at the crowds of people below, Zhou Hexuan stood on the stage and said with a smile: "I won't give a speech today. Feel free to ask questions. Students who have questions please raise your hands."
The students looked at each other and suddenly cheered and raised a bunch of arms.
Zhou Hexuan chose one at random: "The classmate wearing blue clothes and glasses."
The student stood up excitedly: "Mr. Zhou, what do you think of the current war? Which side do you think will win?"
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "This is difficult to say. Maybe we will know the truth in half a year."
"Do you think it will be completed within this year?" the student asked.
"I think so." Zhou Hexuan said vaguely, but in fact he made it clear.
Now the Northern Expeditionary Army has almost reached Shandong and is full of momentum. If the war ends within this year, Zhang Zuolin will definitely lose.
The second student was even more interesting. He said with a face full of indignation: "Mr. Zhou, I originally admired you and even bought your new book. But you disappointed me so much that you actually advocated dictatorship!"
"Have you seen "Guns, Germs and Steel"?" Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile without getting angry.
"I saw it and I was very angry!" said the student.
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "In a book with 320,000 words, why don't you focus on the first 300,000 words but focus on the last 20,000 words?"
The student said: "Because I yearn for freedom and democracy!"
Zhou Hexuan ignored it and said: "Let's not talk about political leanings for now. Let's talk about "Guns, Germs and Steel" today."
