I attended the opening ceremony of a conference today to finally understand the ins and outs of the Marxist Research Branch under the China Higher Education Association. For historical reasons, I know that there are Chinese Dialectical Materialism Research Associations and Chinese Historical Materialism Societies in China, there are also Marxist and Engels Research Societies, and there are also Societies on the History of the Development of Marxism, and these research societies or societies are all national-level societies and organizations, and I have also participated in the activities of many of them, but what I have wondered about over the years is that we are such a country that regards Marxism as the fundamental guiding ideology and mainstream ideology. There is not a single Marxist research association at the national level. In recent years, it is said that there have also been leaders promoting this matter, but there has not been much progress, and there seems to be a lot of entanglement in the middle. If there is a Marxist research society, this research association is precisely a second-level society under the China Higher Education Society.
This morning, I got up early to attend the meeting of the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the Marxist Research Branch of the China Higher Education Association and the annual meeting of this society, which was conducted in a live and online manner, sponsored by Zhengzhou University, undertaken by the Marxist College of Zhengzhou University, and after Liu Luhong from Sichuan University presided over the ZhengDa Ma Academy, he has been holding various conferences to try to increase his influence. But for some reason this is all set. However, there were several familiar people in the on-site conference room in Beijing, after the president of Zheng Da took the lead in delivering a speech, a leader of Peking University as the chairman of the Marxist Research Association also gave a speech, and the two manuscripts of the two speeches in the back seemed to be written by themselves, more profound, hao Lixin, a teacher of Chinese Min University, as the chairman of the supervisory board, made a speech, and he reviewed the past and present lives of the Marxist Research Branch. In fact, on March 18, 1991, when the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Marxist workers in the capital universities jointly established this research association, the first president was Tian Xinming, director of the Social Science Center of the Ministry of Education, it seems that it has always been attached to the social science center, in 2020, the affiliated unit was changed to the Marxist College of Peking University, Hao Lixin seems to be the chairman of the board, and when the change was held, he was promoted to the chairman of the supervisory board, and the chairman was concurrently appointed by the school leader of Peking University who gave a speech. I have seen the agenda arrangement of this meeting, and many of the speakers are the vice presidents of this second-level society, such as Liu Tongfang of Zhejiang University, Zhang Runzhi of Beijing Normal University, and so on. It is said that the secretary-general of this society is in the Marxist College of Peking University, in fact, many societies are managed by the secretary-general, and there are a large number of presidents and vice presidents, who generally obey the arrangements of the secretary-general. After Teacher Hao Lixin finished speaking, Brother Hao Qingjie, as the deputy secretary general of the Higher Education Society, also delivered a speech, and he was very well given the mantle of Teacher Hou Huiqin, even if the ten-minute speech must clearly explain a problem, which was the case last time in Changchun, and this time it was also.
This meeting is said to have invited a lot of influential experts to speak, only this morning and afternoon there are more than thirty, the morning of the big expert time is relatively generous about twenty minutes, the back are about ten minutes, the middle is also mixed with several foreign experts to speak, but most of them are recorded videos, because most of the following are translated Chinese at the same time, easy to understand, which seems to be more interesting than a university in Shanghai to make an international conference.
In the morning speech, I most wanted to listen to the report of the first Li Shenming, he said that the organizers gave him 25 minutes of time, he spoke very clearly, about the four issues of people's democracy, talking about both depth and height, starting from the text of classic writers to analyze the scientific meaning of democracy, and talking about a very warm, and then settled on the "two safeguards", from the superficial seemingly democratic presidential term system in the United States for more than 240 years, he brought out the long-term monopoly system of several major families behind it and the lifelong system of justices and so on. It directly pierces the cloak of American democracy. Li Shenming, a fellow from Wen County, has served as vice chairman of the Npc Internal and Judicial Affairs Committee after retiring from the position of vice president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and is now also the president of the China Political Science Association.
In the morning, while listening to the meeting, I came to the office with the girl, the girl occupied the room, and I had to walk around the corridor outside to watch and listen, but unfortunately there was no way to take notes. Yesterday because of the rain and badminton did not walk enough ten thousand steps, because there is a basis for pacing in the morning, in the afternoon soon the mobile phone prompted ten thousand steps. In the morning to more than ten o'clock when I finally mobilized the girl to go to the conference room to study, I can listen to the meeting while doing my own things, before I found that the teachers generally carry notebooks when they attend the meeting, when the content of the speech is not very interested, you can do your own things, and now finally understand, because some of the speech level is really afraid to compliment ah. And this meeting does not know what to consider, in addition to a few speeches in the morning, from two o'clock to four o'clock, four o'clock to six o'clock in the afternoon, each time period is arranged twelve speakers, each person is about ten minutes, and the original four o'clock to start the second stage of the speech has been about four o'clock at the beginning of the time has been about four o'clock, it seems that Liu Jianjun's speech is very targeted, the speech punctuality is also a very important academic norm, and some so-called experts do not seem to abide by this academic norm.
At the beginning of the afternoon meeting, there were a few speeches that I still wanted to listen to, but it started very early, I was afraid that I would not be able to listen to it all, so I asked Junbo to record the screen, but at noon the girl told me that if it was not authorized to record the screen, there might be only sound without screen or only picture without sound.
I didn't quit the meeting when I left at noon, and when someone was not too interested, I took a look at who was listening to the meeting, and there were about a thousand people at the most in the morning, and just now I looked at it again, there were only more than nine hundred people, and many of them were graduate students, because the sub-forum of this conference tomorrow morning arranged a lot of doctoral and master's speeches.
The speeches continued, some of them talked quite well around the theme, some of them had their views and arguments and inspired, some of them talked plainly, and some of them were dumb and hoarse and difficult to hear... It's really not easy to hold such a conference, free reports, let's listen to it!
