World Reading Day is approaching, and the Beijing News Book Review Weekly Cultural Living Room has planned and launched a series of online activities. At 20:00 on April 25 (Monday), we joined hands with Century Wenjing to invite Xu Jilin, professor of the Department of History of East China Normal University, Xu Bei, director of the documentary "Southwest United University", and Tang Xiaobing, professor of the Department of History of East China Normal University, to start from the intellectuals of Southwest United University during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and look back at the unique role of intellectuals in the moment of national crisis.
In such a modern era of low and excited, worried and accessible, depressed and self-confident, how do intellectuals choose their fate? Settle down and establish a life, and then build a country and rejuvenate the country.
How to settle down? With its spirit as a flame, it illuminates a path in the evolution and context of history.
For whom is it destined? With its integrity and dignity, it rekindles the increasingly dim human nature and the culture that sustains the nation.
In the first half of the 20th century, when intellectuals faced a great crisis, how did they cope with it, and in what way did they get through these difficult years?
The succession of the old and the new, the east and the west, the tradition and the modern, dissects the intellectuals' sense of distress, and perceives and inherits their spiritual strength - "But where we settle down, we are still the Chinese of tradition." ”
The survival of intellectuals can be expressed in three different kinds of life care: social (political) care, cultural (value) care, and intellectual (professional) care. These are three different levels of life care, with distinctions from the explicit to the hidden, from the outside to the inside, and from entering the world to the world. As any generation and any intellectual, all three kinds of concern are possible and necessary at the same time.
At 20:00 on April 25th, together with Century Wenjing, we invited Xu Jilin, professor of the Department of History of East China Normal University, Xu Bei, director of the documentary "Southwest United University", and Tang Xiaobing, professor of the Department of History of East China Normal University, to start from the intellectuals of Southwest United University during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, look back at the unique role of intellectuals in the national crisis, and lead everyone to appreciate not only a macroscopic portrait of modern and modern Chinese intellectuals, but also a picture of the minds of individual intellectuals.
