After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, if Wu Mi wanted to return to Tsinghua University, his reputation was certainly not a problem, but he was displeased with some of these personnel entanglements. It wasn't difficult for him to stay at Yenching University, but he didn't want to renew his employment. His friend Song Chengzhi and others advised him to stay in Chengdu, and Qian Mu also advised him not to return to Beiping and not to Qinghua. Sichuan University, another university he teaches at Chengdu, also wanted to continue hiring him as head of the Department of Foreign Languages, but he did not agree. Yunnan University, Shanxi University, and Zhejiang University also have the intention of hiring, not to mention that they are not in his consideration.
Young Wu Mi
Liu Yongji, an old friend of Wuhan University, and others persuaded him to go to Wuhan, and he seemed to be the most moved. The most persistent to him is the West China Union University, the provost and acting president Fang Shuxuan once issued an invitation to him in person, luo Zhongshu, dean of the Faculty of Letters, and Wen Zaiyu, director of the Institute of Chinese Culture, expressed their intention to hire him several times, and even the residence of huada was arranged, and the letter of appointment was also prepared for him, and it was also sent to him, giving him the position of full-time professor of the Department of Foreign Languages, and the salary given to him was the highest five hundred and sixty yuan in the whole school. Huaxi is a church university like Yanjing, and westerners are very powerful, and it is not easy for him to enter. His friend had told him how Luo Zhongshu was arguing on the basis of reason, and even won a seat for him by threatening to resign, and his feeling after listening to it was: "Mi laughed at Huaxi's stubbornness and felt Luo Jun's enthusiasm." ”
Where does Wu Mi really want to go? In fact, he himself has had a lot of entanglements, and he is wandering in the three options of returning to Beiping, going to Wuhan, and staying in Chengdu. He first wanted to go to Wuhan, and then changed his mind, thinking back to the places he had traveled all the way on the road of displacement, Chengdu was the most comfortable in comparison, and he had some nostalgia for Chengdu, so he wandered between Returning to Tsinghua and Liu Rong. Sometimes, feeling Huaxi's sincerity, his mind of refusal swayed again, thinking that he should still teach here for a short time, otherwise he would lose to others. But this idea was not firm in the end, and when he came into contact with some Huaxi people, he resisted in his heart, saying that these people "have a church-style foreign atmosphere and contempt", and he "disliked it" and decided to "resign from Huaxi and not get along with it." ”
Wu Mi poetry
Later, he followed the advice of Qian Mu, Shen Zudi and others and made the final decision: go to Wuhan University! Just when everything was ready, he calculated the economic losses he would suffer when he went to Wuhan in the heat of August in Chengdu, and wrote the following words:
"Today, when he was ordered to go to Wuhan University, everything changed completely, which was tantamount to pronouncing the death penalty, making Mi suddenly mournful and sad for many days." Husband and wife went to Hubei now, nothing more than throwing themselves into the net, bowing to the drama, working in the heat, and Shegan cried... What is Mi Zhi She Qinghua and Wu Daguo? If the cloud sacrifices for the Tao and serves the friend, then according to Mi's disposition, sacrificing service and hard work is Mi's strength; and Mi's lack is too bad at seeking one's own life and enjoying the actual benefits. If Imaiji and Wuhan University are not conducive to practical interests, and seek for Mi, but only blame Mi for sacrificing their duties, then this autumn's going to Wuhan University is really a foolish and unattainable rash move, and I am afraid that I will be killed in the dry fish, or I will die at Wuhan University, such as Bi Liu's martyrdom at Jiangjin Middle School! ”
Wu Mi's consistent character is surprisingly revealed here, and the result of his repeated consideration, comparison, and choice over the past few months has made him sad. "It is tantamount to pronouncing the death penalty", "stupidity", "self-casting nets", "clicking like a mourner" These words can no longer be simply explained as a poet's exaggeration, and his tangled heart is too far from the indifferent state of mind of the "monk at home" that he pursues... But Wu Mi had no ability to choose again at that time, and at 7:30 a.m. on August 20, 1946, Wu Mi left Chengdu in a mail truck.
Four days ago, after sending his carry-on package to Wuhan, he returned to his apartment in the green alley of Xiao Fujian Camp in Chengdu, sat in front of the book case, and left this line in his neat calligraphy:
It is sad to remember that in this life, we will not be able to go to Chengdu again.
