Liu Wendian was a chinese literary and historical figure and also participated in the early revolutionary work. Later, when Liu Wendian was the president of Anhui University, several of his students made some mistakes because of their youth and vigor, and were severely punished by Chiang Kai-shek.
As the principal, Liu Wendian inevitably had to fight for leniency for his students, but in the process of arguing between Liu Wendian and Chiang Kai-shek, a quarrel occurred. In the course of the argument, Chiang Kai-shek reached out and slapped Liu Wendian twice. Although Liu Wendian was a man of letters, he did not want to be angry and kicked Chiang Kai-shek in the stomach.
Behind the Chinese revolution, there are not only thousands of fighters who have gone to the front line to fight directly with the enemy, but also many literati revolutionaries who have enlightened people ideologically. Although they did not go directly to the battlefield to fight bloody battles like warriors. But these cultural and ideological revolutionaries contributed no less to the revolution than the fighters.
Liu Wendian was such a person, Liu Wendian was born in Anhui at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Liu Wendian, 17, went to school at Anhui Public School, where he was intelligent and sharp and worked hard. Therefore, Liu Wendian shined in the school, so that Chen Duxiu, who was a teacher at the school at that time, praised him.
At the age of 18, Liu Wendian joined the Chinese League, which was also influenced by Chen Duxiu and others. Therefore, Liu Wendian formed anti-imperialist, anti-feudal, and anti-bureaucratic ambitions and ambitions in his youth. Later, in order to learn advanced ideas and concepts, Liu Wendian went abroad to study.
Later, when a revolution broke out in China, Liu Wendian, full of passion, returned to China desperately. Liu Wendian served as an editor of the domestic progressive newspaper Minyi Bao, promoting new ideas. Later, two years later, at the age of 22, Liu Wendian officially joined the Chinese Revolutionary Party and became Sun Yat-sen's secretary.
At that time, the Republic of China had just been established, so it was not difficult to see that Liu Wendian was an old man in the revolutionary party. Later, Liu Wendian was reluctant to participate in political turmoil and began to concentrate on academic issues. Seven years later, Liu Wendian published his first book on ancient Chinese thinkers and their series of thoughts, The Collected Interpretations of Honglie in Huainan.
As soon as the book came out, it received great attention from the academic community, and he was 34 years old. Liu Wendian is mainly engaged in the study of literature and history, as well as the collation of ancient books. In the following years, Liu Wendian taught at Anhui University and Tsinghua University because of the current situation and various reasons.
During this time, Liu Wendian not only had to attend classes, but also did not give up the proofreading of ancient books. Liu Wendian is not only a Chinese literati with academic achievements, but he is also a Chinese literati with integrity.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Liu Wendian was teaching at Peking University at that time, and he did not have time to evacuate from Beiping in the chaotic situation. Japan and China are both Asian countries, so the Japanese also admire China's Laozhuang culture.
Liu Wendian specialized in literary history and Chinese classics, and was very famous in this field, so the Japanese invaders invited him to serve as an official in the Japanese government, but they were all rejected by Liu Wendian. However, at that time, the constant coercion and inducement of the Japanese puppet army seriously affected Liu Wendian's life. Later, Liu Wendian escaped from Beiping and arrived in Kunming to teach at Southwest Union University.
Although Liu Wendian was heavily influenced by democratic ideas, he himself participated in the revolution at the beginning. However, when he began to devote himself to academic research in his later years, Liu Wendian felt that he should separate academic and political.
Liu Wendian is still a literati in his bones, and he feels that scholarship should be pure, should not become a means of politics, and the school should be a quiet place to engage in scholarship. During that period, Liu Wendian served as the president of Anhui University. At that time, anhui university was next door to a girls' middle school, and when the girls' middle school held a school celebration, some students of Anhui University wanted to go and watch it.
But in order to ensure order, the girls' high school next door cannot put too many foreign students to the school. Unexpectedly, the students of Anhui University squeezed into the celebration venue of the girls' middle school. In this way, the teachers and students of the girls' middle school felt very dissatisfied, and they cut off the power to end the school celebration.
The reaction of the teachers and students of the female middle school made the students of Anhui University feel very angry, and in a fit of anger, they began to smash the facilities of the girls' middle school, and injured some of the female middle school students and teachers in the process. Later, the principal of the girls' middle school ran to Chiang Kai-shek to complain, and Chiang Kai-shek called the principal of the girls' middle school and Liu Wendian together, and several people discussed a solution.
Later, because Chiang Kai-shek punished several students of Anhui University too heavily, a quarrel gradually broke out between Liu Wendian and Chiang Kai-shek. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly mentioned the deceased Sun Yat-sen and said that if Sun Yat-sen saw liu Wendian in the world, he would be particularly disappointed.
When the Republic of China was first established, Liu Wendian served as Sun Yat-sen's secretary, and later devoted himself to academics and was also respected in the academic community. Therefore, Liu Wendian did not spare anyone to reply, when he was a secretary to Sun Yat-sen, he did not have Chiang Kai-shek. After all, Chiang Kai-shek was mixed up in the army, and when he heard this, he did not hold back and moved his hands.
Although Liu Wendian was a literati, he could not bear this nest and immediately kicked back. This foot was kicking at Chiang Kai-shek's stomach and knocking Chiang Kai-shek to the ground. Upon hearing this movement, the guards around them immediately surrounded him. In a fit of rage, Chiang Kai-shek arrested Liu Wendian and took him to prison.
Originally, Chiang Kai-shek thought in his heart that it would be best to lock Liu Wendian up for a long time and find a reason to kill him, at least to temper his pride. However, I did not expect that some masters in the academic circles later stood up for Liu Wendian, and under the pressure of public opinion, Chiang Kai-shek had to release Liu Wendian.
Although Liu Wendian personally participated in the revolution in the early days, he made certain contributions to the revolution. But Liu Wendian's greatest contribution to Chinese society lies in his academic research and teaching and educating people. He has a very deep knowledge of traditional Chinese culture and has also offered a series of courses related to traditional Chinese culture in colleges and universities. He played an important role in the continuation of traditional Chinese culture.
Liu Wendian's life is very exciting, whether as a revolutionary or as a titan in academia. When he was engaged in revolution, he concentrated on the revolution, propagated democratic ideas everywhere, and served as a secretary to Sun Yat-sen.
When I was engaged in academia, I immersed myself in academics and went to various colleges and universities to teach literature and history. He played a very important role in the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture, but it was such a revolutionary pioneer and academic hero, and the final outcome was not very good. After the founding of New China, Liu Wendian was criticized many times and his heart became depressed. In the end, Liu Wendian fell ill and died in Kunming.
