Since ancient times, party disputes have always been reasonable at the beginning, and even the leaders of the two parties are good friends.???
However, if the fundamental contradiction between the two factions is not resolved, this fight will expand and eventually lead to complete and indiscriminate denial of the other party.
Historically, to what extent did the "Cai-Li party struggle" in the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China go?
Chang Kaishen has nothing to do to coordinate. The only choice is that this term’s Minister of Education should be served by someone from Cai Yuanpei, and the next term’s Minister should be someone from Li Shizeng. But it still doesn’t work. I always feel that the Minister of Education is deliberate in his work.
Make things difficult for yourself.
In desperation, Chang Kaishen had to serve as the Minister of Education himself and appoint people from the two groups to take turns as deputy ministers.
On the night after the meeting, Li Shuhua came to visit and said, "Principal Zhou, there was some misunderstanding during the meeting today. Please don't pay attention to it."
Zhou Hexuan looked at the scroll in his hand and said amusedly: "Everyone knows my hobby, Mr. Shi Zeng's calligraphy?"
"Exactly." Li Shuhua said and opened the scroll.
There are two poems written on it: It takes three days to test jade, and it takes seven years to identify the material.
The original poem also has the following four lines: Duke Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne. Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows whether it will be true or false in his life?
Li Shizeng obviously compared himself to Duke Zhou in the educational circles of the Republic of China, and regarded the criticism and attacks on him from the outside world as rumors. He asked Zhou Hexuan to wait and see, and evaluate him in a few years, and let his actual actions speak for himself.
As one of the "Four Elders of the Party and State," Li Shi once wrote poems specifically to express his attitude, which was enough to give Zhou Hexuan, a junior, face.
The main reason was that Zhou Hexuan was not from any sect, and he was quite famous, so Li Shizeng didn't want to offend him for no reason.
Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile: "What else does Mr. Shi Zeng have to say to me?"
Li Shuhua took out another list and said, "Principal Zhou, please take a look."
Zhou Hexuan took it and took a look at it. Now it was a list of deans of various colleges within the Peking University District. The position Li Shi once assigned to Zhou Hexuan was the deputy dean of Peking University, which was equivalent to the deputy director of the Department of Education of Hebei (including Beiping and Tianjin) in later generations.
.
This is a disguised apology to Zhou Hexuan, and it is also a means of political coaxing. I hope Zhou Hexuan will understand and support the establishment of the Peking University District.
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "I will accept the calligraphy treasure. Please take the list back."
He meant to accept Li Shizeng's apology and was willing to reconcile with Li Shizeng, but he did not support the establishment of the Peking University District, let alone accept the appointment of the deputy director.
If you think about it, you know that even if Zhou Hexuan agrees to be the deputy director of education, he will be surrounded by Li Shizeng's people and his subordinates will not have any say in the matter. He will not be able to do anything except receive a monthly salary. What is the purpose of such an official position?
Li Shuhua asked in confusion: "Principal Zhou, why do you oppose educational independence?"
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "You can tell Mr. Shi Zeng that I am not opposed to educational independence. What I am opposed to is blind reform."
"Do you think reform is blind now?" Li Shuhua asked.
"To be honest, I paid a visit to Hu Shi yesterday and read many documents related to education reform. The situation is very bad," Zhou Hexuan said with a wry smile. "I admire the spirit of all education reformers very much. In order to plan education reform
, some gentlemen even work overtime for several months in a row, with only four or five hours of rest every day. No one will question this kind of patriotism and love for education. But..."
Li Shuhua asked: "But what?"
"But this kind of reform is bound to fail," Zhou Hexuan analyzed. "First, the content of the education reform is contradictory. The purpose of the reform is educational independence, but the content of the reform is based on the education of the Three People's Principles. This is tantamount to pursuing party-oriented education while pursuing
If we want independence again, isn't it contradictory and setting up resistance to reform? Secondly, the National Education Conference two months ago lasted for half a month, and the core content was to discuss the independence of education funding. But this education funding
How come? You actually require 10% to % of the national finance to be used for education. You want the government to pay again, and there is still so much money, but you don’t let the government intervene in management. Who is willing to give you the money? Education funding cannot be independent.
, what about educational independence? Thirdly, the university district system is not in line with China’s national conditions. France, which has a much larger territory and population, has to be divided into 17 university districts, while one or even several provinces in our country only have one university district.
It can be imagined that many universities were forcibly merged into one. In addition, the even larger primary and secondary education is also under the jurisdiction of this university district. Can you manage it with so few people? Administrative efficiency is inevitable
Low! All the contradictions caused by the merger of colleges and universities will be enough for you to have headaches for several years, and there is no way to deal with the problems of grassroots education!"
Zhou Hexuan spoke very thoroughly. After Li Shuhua thought about it carefully, he was instantly worried about the prospects of education reform. But he still said stubbornly: "There must be contradictions in reform, and we must be determined to overcome these difficulties. If education cannot be independent,
The bureaucrats who manage education probably haven't read a few days, and laymen guide experts. Corruption is rife, making the education system a mess!"
Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile: "You will ensure that after the independence of education, those scholars in power will not be corrupt?"
Li Shuhua hesitated: "Scholars have a better bottom line after all."
"What's the bottom line? I don't know," Zhou Hexuan said disdainfully. "I only know that after Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces tried out the university district system, the president of Zhejiang University was Jiang Menglin, a student of Cai Yuanpei, the president of Central University was Zhang Jingjiang's nephew Zhang Naiyan, and the president of Labor University was Zhang Jingjiang's nephew Zhang Naiyan.
The principal is Yi Peiji, Li Shizeng's in-law. At Academia Sinica, Cai Yunpei relies on Yang Xingfo as his right-hand man, and at the soon-to-be-established Peking University, Li Shizeng wants to appoint cronies on a large scale. Which of them is not doing nepotism, and which is not drawing turf in the education system.
Occupying the top of the mountain?”
After hearing this, Li Shuhua's expression looked a little painful. Several elders he respected were actually told the truth by Zhou Hexuan.
Historically, Li Shuhua had the most neutral and impartial stance among these factions, and he also actively coordinated conflicts among the factions.
Therefore, after Chang Kaishen personally served as the Minister of Education, he specifically appointed Li Shuhua as the Deputy Minister of Education, because as long as he was the Deputy Minister, no faction would object.
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "I believe that gentlemen who are determined to reform education have a public heart. But everyone also has selfish motives, and even selfishness for the sake of public motives. Mr. Li Zongwu published an article "Discussions on Social Issues" some time ago
, part of it discusses people’s selfishness and uses mechanics to explain psychological changes. I think it makes sense. The public intentions of those gentlemen in universities will eventually be guided into selfish intentions by the centripetal force of power.”
Li Shuhua sighed, clasped his fists and said, "Principal Zhou, I will relay your words to Mr. Shi Zeng. But I can't guarantee whether he will listen."
"I don't expect him to listen. Once schools in the north start, he will know how difficult it is to make his own reforms," Zhou Hexuan said.
The bloody events of education reform historically occurred in the Peking University District.
When Li Shuhua left, he said to Zhou Hexuan: "Principal Zhou, the Mr. Li Zongwu you mentioned is in Nanjing at this time. I talked to him two days ago. This person's theory is ridiculous and cannot be fully believed.
.”
"Oh, Li Zongwu is in Nanjing, so I have to go and meet him." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile. 8
