Make yourself a powerful element in society - reading Wang Liming's "Shou Humble Collection" has a feeling

Teacher Wang Liming's essay collection "Shou Humble Collection" was published, in the afterword of the book @ me, in recent years Teacher Wang has published some essays on the page I edited, but I really don't know that Teacher Wang has written so much, and a total of 60 articles under the nine topics cover all aspects of life. After reading this book, Teacher Wang's life was revealed in front of me. Socrates said: How a person should live is the fundamental event of life. How to become a powerful member of society, this book is a detailed how-to guide. People in this world may have to deal with these relationships, how to choose a career, how to treat the country, society, and how to deal with interpersonal relationships. Looking at Teacher Wang's wave of operations, I seem to have the courage to face life head-on, maybe we can't become as powerful as him, but at least we can work hard, this is a life that has been examined, and it is also a life worth pursuing.

Happy gardener

Wang Liming's profession is a teacher, he enjoys this profession very much, there is an article in this collection called "I am a happy gardener", Wang Liming stayed in school as a teacher for more than 30 years after graduation, still enjoy it tirelessly, even if there is an opportunity to engage in politics and get rich, he still insists on being a gardener, he said in the article: If my life path can be chosen again, I will choose to be a teacher. Albert Einstein said that the only source of respect for the teacher is the virtue and talent of the teacher. As a teacher, because of the profession and feel noble and dignified, any requirements for students, we must start from ourselves, "learning high for the teacher, moral high for the model" is because of the strict requirements for themselves to bring the dignity of the profession. The reason why Wang Liming is so persistent about the profession of teaching is inseparable from the influence of the two teachers on him. One is his master's supervisor Tong Rou, who was rated as an associate professor after Wang Liming was rated as an associate professor. Teacher Tong Rou encouraged Wang Liming to apply for his doctorate, and Wang Liming was a little hesitant, thinking that if he was rated as an associate professor, there was no need to study for a doctorate. Teacher Tong Rou immediately criticized him: if you can't evaluate the associate professor, you don't want to study. Later, Wang Liming became the first doctor of civil law in New China. Teacher Tong Rou said: Every student is a living book Written by me, and Wang Liming's book is very wonderful. Another was a civil law teacher in his college, and once, when he learned that Wang Liming was sick in bed, he personally went to the street to buy a live chicken and cooked a can of chicken soup for him. Wang Liming was so moved that he almost shed tears, don't think that civil jurists are monolithic, after reading this book seriously, Teacher Wang actually loves to shed tears. I don't know if it was this can of chicken soup that made Teacher Wang taste the "delicacy" of civil law, and since then he has made up his mind to embark on the road of fighting for the Civil Code. But from this kind of teacher-student inheritance, we feel a kind of perseverance. There is both the inheritance of tradition and the pursuit of professionalism. Wang Liming advocates professionalism, which he believes requires persistence, perseverance, and lifelong pursuit. If everyone is in their own post, as they have been for decades, conscientious, undistracted, and constantly enterprising, they can achieve extraordinary achievements in ordinary posts, and they will certainly make their own contributions to the prosperity and strength of the country and the progress of the nation.

Responsible scholars

Many people may know the name Wang Liming because of a civil code. Wang Liming has participated in the drafting, discussion and revision of many important civil and commercial laws since the reform and opening up, and is an important member of the compilation of China's Civil Code. In this collection of essays, there is an article specially written for Teacher Tong Rou - "Rain comes to the river, alone in the cold smoke - remembering Teacher Tong Rou", this article was published in the "Academic Life" column of the "Learning Times", according to The editor in charge of this page, Mr. Dai Jing, this article was the first article to open the column at that time, and it was a masterpiece that could be encountered but not sought. In this article, there is such a detail: when Teacher Tong Rou was sick and hospitalized, Wang Liming and Teacher Tong Rou's family accompanied him. The day before Teacher Tong Rou died, the teacher's mother said that Teacher Tong Rou's condition was stable and did not need to pass, but Wang Liming still went to the hospital for 2 hours, and after going there, he found that the teacher's condition had deteriorated. Teacher Tong Rou was very happy to see Wang Liming and talked intermittently for 1 hour. Teacher Tong Rou encouraged Wang Liming to firmly follow the path of civil law research no matter how much difficulty he encountered. After the successful passage of the "General Principles of Civil Law" that year, Teacher Tong Rou was full of excitement and tears. I think that if Teacher Tong Rou learned of the advent of the Civil Code under the Nine Springs, I don't know what it would be like to be happy.

Whether a jurist who has achieved fame or not must have the attributes of a scholar. I think it may not be the case. But Wang Liming is in line with the inherent prescriptiveness of these two words of scholars, and he has an article entitled "People Who Only Understand the Law and Don't Know Other Legal People Are Unsuccessful", and this article is very popular on the Internet. I originally read this article on the WeChat public account, and this time I re-read it, and I am still amazed by the author's judgment in 2002. Wang Liming proposed in the article that legal science must be open to other social sciences and natural sciences. The common purpose of jurisprudence and other disciplines, namely to serve society, and their common object of study, namely "man", cannot be ignored. It is necessary to reflect the real problems of society through the integration of knowledge in various disciplines, respond to the real needs of society, and ultimately promote the all-round development of "people" and realize the ultimate care for "people". In the article "'Rice Bowl Jurisprudence' Should Be Suspended", Wang Liming believes that the view of "Rice Bowl Jurisprudence" reduces serious legal research to the point of studying for its own survival, which is the greatest blasphemy against scholarship. In the article "The Sound of Cicadas In the Air Is Unpleasant", he clearly criticized the bureaucratic style of singing high-pitched, shouting empty words, and saying clichés. Speaking about life, speaking to society, and speaking to the times must be based on their own creative process. Wang Liming believes that as far as governing the country is concerned, "the paper will eventually feel shallow", which is bound to be combined with practice, especially in combination with the people's vivid life practice, and scholars must have social responsibility, but they must also prevent "students from misleading the country".

Strong family conditions

The Chinese nation is a nation with a deep family and country complex, and the feelings of home and country are precious cultural genes and spiritual resources in China's excellent traditional culture. In this book, we feel the author's strong sense of home and country, "Home country isomorphism is a governance model", "The reader's home country feelings", "What to rely on to Jun Yao Shun", "Ande Guangsha Ten Million Rooms" and other articles, for the readers to pay too much attention to their own interests, lack of necessary responsibility. Wang Liming advocated that readers should apply and serve the country and society with the beneficial knowledge and experience they have acquired, and advocated that readers should have a high sense of responsibility and responsibility for their families, society and the country. After the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, Wang Liming, as a Hubei native, felt deeply pained and enthusiastically organized donations to his hometown. Even if he writes about the scenery of the motherland and the natural scenery, Wang Liming still has a people's direction. In "Chang'an A Month and ten thousand households pounding clothes", he wrote that migrant workers walked a long way to the river to wash clothes in order to save a little water money. In the "Beautiful and Magical Fuxian Lake" tour, he did not forget the income of fishermen under the epidemic. Wang Liming said in "My "Seven Seventh Grades": Memories of an Era": Our "Seven Seven Grades" have experienced a lot of hardships, and many students have the experience of going to the mountains and going to the countryside, and these experiences are also our precious life wealth, so that we truly understand the peasants, understand the peasants, and further understand the national conditions. This point can be partly explained why in his collection of essays, whether it is writing about his hometown or reading poetry, there is always a strong sense of home and country.

Before his death, Teacher Tong Rou often told the students that the fate of the individual and the fate of the country and the nation are closely related, and only when the country is rich and strong can the people have a good life. No matter where you are, you must love the motherland and serve the motherland, but patriotism cannot be an empty slogan, for readers, practical work, governance and education is the best way to serve the country. Mr. Zhu Guangqian said: "If the state and the nation do not have a way out, the individual will never have a way out; to find a way out for the individual, we must first find a way out for the country and the nation." Now to elevate the status of the nation, each of us must cultivate a sound body, a good character, a profound knowledge and skilled skills, and turn ourselves into a powerful element of society." I hope that we can all become powerful members of society like Teacher Wang Liming!
