Liu Wendian is a madman, and it can also be said that he is the last one in China, and if you talk about a few representative examples today, you will know how crazy he is.
Shen Congwen is a person that Liu Wendian despises, and they have no grudges in private, Liu just looks down on Shen. When Shen Congwen commented on professors, Liu Wendian attacked on the spot, saying that he was not literate and unworthy of being a professor. At that time, the Southwest United University was still attending classes in the midst of the war, preserving the cultural context of the Chinese nation, and running alarms was more common. Once the alarm sounded, Liu Wendian just ran a few steps and remembered that Mr. Chen Yinke upstairs had bad eyes and could not run, and hurried back to pick up Chen to run the alarm. In the process of running the alarm, I met Shen Congwen, and Liu Wendian angrily scolded, saying: Mr. Chen ran to preserve the essence of the country, I ran to save Zhuangzi, what are you running! Shen Congwen was very embarrassed, but he didn't say much.
Liu Wendian also has a very famous thing, that is, the "kicking Jiang" incident. He was the founder of Anhui University, the first president, when some people in the school participated in an activity, Jiang personally went to the school to arrest people, Liu Wendian refused to give him a list of students, so there was a dispute, it is said that Liu Wendian kicked Chiang Kai-shek's key parts in the chaos. Angry Jiang directly arrested Liu Wendian. After Liu was arrested, the academic circles were shaken, and public opinion supported Liu, calling on Jiang to release people, and under pressure, Liu Wendian was released.
Liu Wendian is very arrogant and looks down on many people, but he admires Chen Yinke's five bodies, and he has only served Chen Yinke, the head of tsinghua's four mentors and professor' professor, in his lifetime. He said that Chen Yinke's research and knowledge are a precious asset of the academic community, and it is also a height that we can never reach.
