Ma Yin was born on June 24, 1882, and died on May 10, 1982, if he had not been tough, he would have become a 101-year-old birthday star!
Mr. Ma's "toughness" has a long history, because he has developed good fitness habits since he was a child, not only insisting on running and climbing all year round, but also insisting on taking cold showers in the cold and windy winter before the age of 80.
Ma Yinchu (June 24, 1882 – May 10, 1982)
In fact, Mr. Ma's toughness is not just a body bone.
In 1940, the arduous War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had entered its fourth year, and in Chongqing, the "capital of the country", Professor Ma Yinchu, who was a doctor of economics, was still the dean of the business school of Chongqing University, and he constantly wrote articles and gave speeches, attacking the "State Government" policy, and scolding Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen, important people of the "State Government":
"With the death and injury of millions of our compatriots and the loss of millions of property, we hope for 'victory' in order to seek a quick revival of the nation, and we are never willing to exchange such a huge sacrifice for a few great gods of wealth. Is it the purpose of war for a man who holds the pivot of finance, a bull's ear that holds finance, and holds the economic lifeblood of our people in his hands? ”
"On the one hand, they have made great fortunes in the country, on the other hand, they have controlled the transportation industry, annexed small factories, monopolized agricultural products, and in fact hoarded them, and even the small profits of small merchants have been squeezed out... I advocate that the cost of war in the first three years of the war period is already borne by our people, but the war costs in the fourth year and the funds for the consolidation and construction after the end of the war should be taken from those who have made the country rich and have a little chance to breathe with our people. ”
Professor Ma even pointed the spearhead of the criticism directly at "Chairman Jiang":
"Some people say he's a 'national hero,' and I think he's only a family hero, because he's only sheltering his relatives and families. They used three methods of taxation, public debt, and inflation to scrape away the people's fat and people's anointing in the world, and even the coffin money of their children and grandchildren was enough, where is the life and death of the people! ”
According to Volume 20 of Che Jixin's "Wild History of the Republic of China", "In today's Chongqing, the general people originally dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out, and now Ma Yinchu has immediately become a figure who is angry and fast." Therefore, on December 5, Chongqing University, at the urging of all parties, asked Professor Ma to give a speech on "Economic Policy of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression." In the school auditorium, the audience was crowded before the lecture, and it was indeed an unprecedented event. Professor Ma's speech not only made the audience "very moving, but also very thirsty."
Unexpectedly, the next day, the gendarmerie came to Chongqing University and involuntarily swarmed Ma Yinchu away. At a moment of great uproar in the whole school, the students pushed the representative to ask the principal Ye Yuanlong to inquire about Ma Yinchu's whereabouts. On the third day, Chongqing's educational, cultural, and even the entire Chongqing municipality knew that Professor Ma had been arrested. On the fourth day, December 8, the students of Chongqing University knew that there would be no use in sending representatives to negotiate, so they held a large-scale rescue meeting for Professor Ma. At this moment, Ma Yinchu suddenly returned, and the students were overjoyed and immediately hugged Ma Yinchu to the podium. Someone asked him to tell the story of his arrest, and thunderous applause immediately broke out from the audience.
"Please be quiet!"
The students thought Professor Ma was going to speak and immediately fell silent. But a gendarme who "protected" Professor Ma said:
"Please forgive me, Mr. Ma is not here to give a speech today..."
Some of the students let out long boos, some told the gendarmes to roll, and some stood up and insisted that Professor Ma give a report. Ma Yinchu had to drag the stagnant Zhejiang tone and said, "Thank you for your enthusiasm for loving me, but I came back today to get the covers." ”
"No, we ask Mr. Ma to go back to school and continue teaching!" There are students shouting.
"I can't go back to school to attend classes, and the dean of the business school has been replaced by my old friend Ye Yuanlong." At the beginning, It was also Ye Yuanlongcheng who invited Ma Yinchu to take up this position, and at this moment, it is still replaced by Ye Mou, which can probably be regarded as "the original thing is returned", right? Ma Yinchu had lived in the school, and while he was disturbed, the gendarmes had moved Ma Yinchu's bedding to the door room and urged him to get into the car. Ma Yinchu said to his wife, children, and students: "I have reached the age of Hua Jia, and I can't be considered a short-lived ghost when I die." ”
In fact, When Ma Yinchu published articles and made speeches, he had already prepared for the worst, and he once brought his wives and children to the scene of the speech and said to the agents in the crowd: "I ma someone is willing to emulate Mr. Tan Sitong, and I can say without shame that I smile at the sky with my horizontal knife!" In order to resist the war, hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers shed blood and sacrificed in the front, and we literati have contributed nothing in the rear, and we should not hesitate to die in the rear and boldly say what should be said. If I am killed, let them know how I died, so that what I said today will be a legacy to them! ”
On December 9, Chongqing newspapers prominently reported that Ma Yinchu, a legislator and economist, had been appointed by the authorities to "examine the state of the war economy." This kind of temporary eye covering method is actually quite effective, and people's dissatisfaction can gradually subside. Of course, the students of Chongqing University did not believe this statement, and they sent representatives to meet with Chen Lifu, the minister of education, and the result naturally did not get the point. It is impossible to know at the time that Ma Yinchu had actually been taken to the Guizhou Shifeng Detention Center and transferred to the Shangrao concentration camp in Jiangxi the following year, until he returned to Chongqing nearly two years later in August 1942, where he was still under house arrest in his own home in Geleshan, and only regained his freedom in 1944.
Ma Yinchu became the first provost of Peking University in 1919 and the president of Peking University in 1951. When peking university alumni recall their old principal, they all say that he "has a rush of enthusiasm and undisguised sincerity" and that "his body is surprisingly good, he was old at the time, although his crane hair was sparse, he had a ruddy child's face." Later, Ma Yinchu was severely criticized for his "new population theory". Interestingly, when Peking University holds a criticism meeting, it often begins for a while, but he, the right master, does not appear for a long time. When the presiding officer of the meeting sent someone to "invite" him, he moved a chair and sat calmly in front of the stage. At that time, criticism was often called "bathing", which meant helping the criticized to distinguish between right and wrong, wash away dirt, and correct mistakes. Regardless of the gushing slogans in the audience, Ma Lao was calm as usual, and when the slogans stopped for a while, he actually said humorously: "I am a person who takes a cold shower every day, no matter how cold the day is, I am not afraid." Now it's not cold, give me a hot bath, I don't care anymore! ”
It is precisely because of his toughness that he can stand up to continuous high-pressure criticism. In the face of the pressure of the mountains, the tough Mr. Ma Yinchu not only resolutely did not write a single word of review, but also raised his pen to fight, and heroically declared to the people of the world: "Although I am nearly eighty years old, I know that I am outnumbered, and I am a single horse, and I will come out to fight until I die in battle, and I will never surrender to the kind of critics who are dedicated to suppressing unreasonable persuasion." ”
What a tough old man!
Ma Yinchu's toughness left a deep impression on future generations. Ji Xianlin, a master of traditional Chinese studies, once said emotionally: There are two people he admires most, one is Liang Shuming, and the other is Ma Yinchu.
