Yesterday, after I compiled and posted the phrase "Seeing Things and Thinking of People, Remembering Mr. Ren Jiyu, an Old Friend I Made", I received a WeChat message from Zhang Xinying, an assistant who has been following Mr. Ren Jiyu for decades to assist him in his work, and researcher Zhang Xinying, former deputy director of the Institute of World Religions of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
Researcher Zhang Xinying is also the current president of the journal "Science and Atheism", the journal of the Chinese Atheist Society, founded by Mr. Ren Jiyu, and is an old friend with whom I have more than 30 years of anti-pseudo-qigong special functions and brotherhood friendship with cult comrades-in-arms, and is also a historical witness to my acquaintance with Mr. Ren Jiyu.
In the preface to my book "The Road to Truth-Seeking Truth: Zhang Honglin's Collected Works", published in September 2023, researcher Zhang Xinying wrote: "It was during the period (anti-pseudo-qigong special function) that Mr. Ren Jiyu and Mr. Du Jiwen met Dr. Zhang Honglin through the introduction and recommendation of colleagues in the scientific and press circles who exposed pseudo-qigong and special functions, and soon became a confidant. By chance, I also got to know this enthusiastic and energetic qigong research expert, a staunch fighter against pseudo-qigong and the so-called 'special functions of the human body'. ”
The New Eagle Brothers shared with me on WeChat last night that he had just obtained about Mr. Ren Jiyu's latest four-episode 90-minute large-scale historical documentary video - "Philosopher Ren Jiyu". And told me: This is "(Mr. Ren's hometown of Shandong) Texas TV station began to broadcast at the beginning of the first month. ”
I watched two episodes last night, and replied to Brother New Eagle with excitement: "Roger." Two episodes have been learned. Very good, very rewarding!Thank you very much!" Then I watched the next two episodes in one sitting.
The four-part documentary details Mr. Ren Jiyu's family, study experience, work experience, career achievements, and his outstanding achievements in the inheritance and development of Chinese culture.
It can be said that this documentary has helped me get to know Mr. Ren Jiyu more comprehensively and deeply. The content of the documentary not only made me excited, but I was also proud that I met Mr. Ren by chance and inevitable on the road of my life, and was valued by him as an old friend who forgot about his years. I will share these four episodes with my friends in Moments.
There is a saying that things gather like people in groups, and flying with the phoenix are all handsome birds. I have become old friends with Mr. Ren Jiyu, a 33-year-old scholar of social sciences who is not the same discipline as me, and it seems incredible on the surface, but in fact there is an inevitable basis.
This inevitable basis is that we all have the common ideal pursuit of diligent study, hard exploration, and making our own meaningful contributions to the future development of our disciplines and society. The specific cause of anti-pseudo-qigong, special functions, and cults, which we are all interested in, and which we are all interested in, let us break through the enlightenment of the natural sciences and social sciences and draw them tightly together.
Mr. Ren's words quoted at the end of the fourth episode of the documentary also resonated with me:
"Live and learn. To live, we must lose no time in doing our best for others and for the future society. ”
This kind of spiritual pursuit is also an inexhaustible source of motivation for me to write a popular science essay every day and contribute happily to society after I have been retired for many years. Those people who have a sour mentality and think that I am writing for some economic benefit or even someone's traffic, don't think of us as low as you!
