In 2001, a new column called "Hundred Tribunes" was launched on CCTV Channel 10, which featured a lecture program based on the principle of experts and scholars serving ordinary hundreds of families. The lectures include chinese culture, history, medicine and other aspects of knowledge.
Many of these experts and scholars are well known to the public because they have appeared on the program of "Hundred Tribunes", and Professor Wang Liqun is one of them. The series of programs reading historical records and telling people have made Professor Wang Liqun well known to the audience, and many viewers have been admired by his knowledge.
What many viewers do not know is that "History" is not only a topic for Professor Wang Liqun's hundreds of pulpits, but also the starting point of his study in his youth.
<h1>From high school student directly to graduate student</h1>
Wang Liqun was born in Anhui Province in 1945, when the war was chaotic and precarious, and wang Liqun's life as a child was very difficult, he had to start taking on the work of the whole family when he was 8 years old, adults went to beg for a living, and at the age of 13, they began to become workers, so that they could continue to get the opportunity to get education.
At that time, Wang Liqun felt that filling his stomach and having a stable opportunity to go to school was already a great thing, and he never thought that one day he could become a professor and a famous scholar at the university.
In 1965, he applied for Tsinghua University, when he had good grades, he thought he could complete his college dream, but unfortunately, the special era made it impossible for him to start college life, so he continued to stay in primary school as a substitute teacher.
The following year, Wang Liqun got a copy of the "History" by chance, and at that time, he did not feel that the book would have an impact on his future, but the contents of the book made him very interested.
In the 7 or 8 years of substitute teachers, due to the lack of teachers, Wang Liqun also had to teach several subjects by himself, not only the common language and mathematics, but also calligraphy, art, and even music. To this end, the sensitive and studious Wang Liqun also spent a week learning to pedal the organ and unlocking his new skills.
Waiting until the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1978 came out, so that the students in the country at that time were ecstatic, Wang Liqun was also very excited at the time, and he decided to go directly to graduate school at the age of 32, which was also very challenging for himself, but the enthusiasm for going to school made him fearless.
As a result, the Russian language and politics without teaching materials, which had been abandoned for 14 years, became Wang Liqun's biggest problem before the exam. He and his colleagues borrowed Russian textbooks, then insisted on memorizing them every day for half a year, and finally passed the exam.
For the political examination without teaching materials, he only spent three days memorizing the pamphlet issued by the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and finally scored more than 90 points, which was the subject with the highest score among so many subjects in his examination, and his graduate career began.
<h1>With the "History of History", he entered the pulpit of a hundred schools</h1>
In 1982, after graduating from Henan University, he stayed on to teach and began to teach ancient Chinese literature, and the "History of History" has become a frequent topic in the curriculum.
In this way, Wang Liqun has been teaching silently at Henan University for more than 20 years, and he has also changed from a tireless young teacher to a polite and gentle university professor, and soon a column found him.
Wang Liqun was recommended to give a trial lecture in the "Hundred Tribunes" column of CCTV, because he had read the "History of History" for decades, and he had a unique perspective on the understanding of the characters and passages in it. In particular, his interpretation of Xiang Yu is different, so in 2006, Wang Liqun read the history series on CCTV.
As soon as the program was broadcast, it received a very good response, and many viewers immediately remembered this kind of humble appearance and eloquent lectures. Because the language used by Wang Liqun in the program is easy to understand, not only for the detailed interpretation of the paragraphs of the original text, but also for mutual verification with other records, making the important knowledge points in the narrative reasonable and well-founded, in that year, it also set off a "historical record" fever.
As for wang Liqun's fire in the hundred pulpits, many people feel that he did not read the "History" according to the book, but not only talked about the perspective of ancient people, but also explained the perspective of modern people. Therefore, many viewers feel that it is not only the things that happen in history, but also the things that everyone may encounter in reality, and also allow everyone to close the distance with history.
It was in the hundred forums that Professor Wang Liqun's idea of popularizing traditional Chinese cultural knowledge took a path, and although he was older, he actively participated in the dissemination of new media such as television and the Internet. Not only did he learn to use a computer, but also actively used social networks such as Weibo to interact with netizens when the Internet era came.
Later, he went to the "Chinese Poetry Conference" as a commentator, and also recorded programs such as "Han Gao Zu Liu Bang" for the educational television station "Romance of National History", in this way to contribute his own strength to disseminate and inherit the work of history and culture.
And he himself has always done a good job in learning, and then taught the knowledge out, and he is as attentive as ever to his students.
<h1>Stent the heart and stick to the bedside to guide the paper</h1>
Professor Wang Liqun was in his 60s when he was in hundreds of pulpits, and in the following years he was overloaded, making his health very poor.
In 2008, he underwent surgery in Beijing due to overwork and illness, and underwent multiple heart surgeries in two months, installing 6 heart stents, but even so, he did not take care of his body first, but first remembered his job as a teacher.
According to the recollections of his students, although Wang Liqun was in a hospital bed at that time, he was still very concerned about the graduation thesis of the 3 master's students and 2 doctoral students he brought that year. Fear that their illness will affect the students' graduation schedules.
After he transferred to the hospital, he insisted on guiding his students to revise their papers in front of the hospital bed, and when his students went to visit him, he was always concerned about the progress of the papers, and his students recalled that although Professor Wang Liqun was pale, he still had a clear idea when explaining the papers, which made many students moved.
After being discharged from the hospital, Professor Wang Liqun continued his own work, gave lectures seriously, and seriously answered questions for his students, and he has always encouraged every student to have their own opinions in learning and have the courage to open up their own knowledge system, so that the real spirit of governance.
The students he brought with him also basically won the favor of famous schools such as 975/211 on the way to kaobo, and became the technical backbone or important cadres of various units and departments after graduation.
Professor Wang Liqun is always very rigorous and serious about academics, not only paying attention to the courage to innovate, but also accumulating continuously, so although Professor Wang Liqun is over seventy years old, he is still learning new knowledge to cope with the accumulation of knowledge that is constantly updating himself.
For students, he always has strict requirements in learning and cares about life, so that many students who are dozens of years apart have a good relationship with him, will not appear to have a generation gap, and is a kind and good teacher who is well received by students.
Today's teacher Wang Liqun still appears on TV programs from time to time, and most of these programs are lecture halls for disseminating history and culture. He is still keen to disseminate the content of his knowledge, to explain the ancient history and culture of the past for the new students in front of the TV, hoping that this knowledge can be passed on to the new generation.
<h1>epilogue</h1>
A "History" tells the story of the emperor and the general, but there are countless people who have read it for thousands of years, but Professor Wang Liqun has spoken it out of the voice of ordinary people.
The hard study life of his own childhood made him have a more affectionate understanding of the words and phrases recorded in ancient books, and he also understood many of the stories since the inheritance of the nation.
His own understanding of the "History" for decades is not only to memorize the original text, but also to understand the national spirit and expectations hidden behind this thousand-year-old text, and as a scholar, he disseminated the ideas to the public in the form of education.
As an individual, he implemented the spirit of Sima Qian, the author of the "Records of History", into his sudden self, and thus became his personal academic principle of governance, and also became the principle of his students, and he himself became a respected good teacher and professor.
