On December 21, 1932, a Tsinghua student who had studied both Chinese and Western studies went to the basketball court to watch female classmates play basketball, and he honestly admitted that he sat there intently, not to appreciate basketball skills, but to peek at the thighs of young girls.
After only watching half of the show, he returned to the dormitory with a disappointed mood, angrily complaining in the diary: "The thighs of the female classmates in the attached middle school are black!" ”
This is a fragment of Ji Xianlin's "Diary of Qinghua garden", and more exciting content than this abounds in the text. When the book was published, the editor asked him: Do you want to delete it? Do you want to beautify it? Ji Xianlin shook his head and refused, this is his true disposition, why should he be fake.
He is not a rigid and boring old pedant, our master, cute and tight.
Some netizens said: If Ji Xianlin lives in today's era, he is a person who loves to send a circle of friends.
The diary he wrote was short, nagging, and he loved to complain, and the language was very vivid and interesting. After a day in the classroom, he cried bitterly: "It hurts to sit in the stomach." After repeated examinations in the school, he complained: "These bastard professors, either you take the test, or I take the test, what is the test of his mother?" ”
When we read Ji Xianlin's diary now, it will not affect the admiration and good feelings of the master, but we feel that when we open the mask, he is a living person around him, flesh and blood, kind and real.
Moreover, Ji Xianlin was qualified to complain, and his academic achievements were there. Ji Xianlin was born in poverty, the family often lacked food and clothing, not to mention the meat on the dinner table, sometimes even salt could not afford to buy, his mother dug up the soil in the saline field and boiled it with boiling water, and made his own salt pickled cabbage for the family.
The conditions are harsh, but Ji Xianlin is good at making fun in suffering. When he was reading, he was effortless, sir said above, he secretly watched "Golden Plum Bottle" under the desk. In 1930, Ji Xianlin took the exam, filled in only Tsinghua and Peking University, and was admitted to two top schools at the same time. Ji Xianlin giggled, "I've had good luck with exams in my life." ”
Ji Xianlin is knowledgeable, has learned both Chinese and Western, and is proficient in many Chinese: English, German, French, Russian, Sanskrit... Even the world's rare and little-known Tocharian is still pure fire.
The word "humor" is exactly what Ji Xianlin translated and introduced into China in English. He himself is a humorous and funny person.
The student asked him for advice, and he explained it in an easy-to-understand way: "The more water you drink, the more you have the urine!" Lin Qingxia came to visit him, and when asked him if he recognized the female star, Ji Xianlin replied with a spirit: "The whole world knows." ”
Like Ji Xianlin, Hu Shi was also a master of humor and humor, and his diary was also talked about. From the beginning of July, for several consecutive days, it was two words: "playing cards", and on July 16, Hu Shi warned himself in his diary that he should not fall again, but should "three provinces and my body." But for the next few days, there were still two words in the diary: playing cards.
It's hilarious to read, and the master is too grounded, which is more like us who have set up flags and failed. Although this version is not written by Hu Shi, in the "Diary of Hu Shi's Study Abroad", there are indeed many records of playing cards, a total of 37 times.
Hu Shi was a prominent figure in the New Culture Movement, opposing old morality and advocating new morality. Because the New Culture Movement was also a literary revolution, he wrote a new three from four virtues in the vernacular: "The wife must follow when she goes out, the wife must obey the order, the wife must blindly obey when she says wrong; the wife must wait for makeup, the wife must remember the birthday, the wife must endure the scolding, and the wife must spend money to be willing." "People can't help but be funny!
Hu Shi called himself "the president of the Association of Fearful Wives", who would have thought that such a trendy university scholar would marry a small-footed wife who could not read a basket of characters, and would love her all her life.
When Hu Shi was 14 years old, his family told him a country girl, Jiang Dongxiu. In this era of the Republic of China, examples of new young people opposing arranged marriages abound, not to mention celebrities like Hu Shi, who have stayed in foreign countries, who are handsome and learn to be rich in five cars, the two are not compatible from any point of view, but he did not go to the family to rebel, but completed the marriage as promised.
He didn't want to break his parents' hearts, nor did he want to live up to Jiang Dongxiu's years of waiting. He thinks it's good for women to be literate and hyphenated, but if they can't, it's not their fault either.
Ji Xianlin is also an arranged marriage, his wife is 4 years older than him, and he has no education. In 1929, Ji Xianlin had just turned 18 years old and married this woman named Peng Dehua at the behest of his family. Although the two married and had children, they did not have a common language. During Ji Xianlin's study in Germany, he met the beautiful and intelligent Miss Imgard, and his two hearts fluttered, and love quietly came.
But Ji Xianlin did not divorce his wife and remarry, let alone step on the double boat. He returned to China, returned to his wife Peng Dehua, and buried his love for Miss Imgard deep in his heart, although Yiren had never married in his life and had been guarding the printer that the two had a love affair with, but Ji Xianlin never contacted her again.
How many men are really afraid of their wives? To be afraid is actually a kind of love and pampering, and it is sincere and loyal to marriage. Ji Xianlin and Hu Shi's upright personality makes people feel that they are cute and respectable.
The word master originally meant to make outstanding achievements in a certain field. Ji Xianlin and Hu Shi are naturally worthy of the title of master, but now, the threshold of the master seems to be low, and from time to time you can see some masters and celebrities on the Internet.
Yu Dan should be considered a typical one. She was a high-achieving student at Beijing Normal University, and later stayed on to teach at the school, which can be regarded as a root and Miao Hong. Since 2006, Yu Dan has begun to preach traditional culture on major platforms, interpreting the Analects, Zhuangzi, Kunqu art, etc., especially in the appearance of hundreds of pulpits, which can be described as a well-known reputation, from professor to "master".
It is also a person who has been red for several years, but red and red, Yu Dan suddenly became black and cold, and the voices of doubt and criticism were endless, in November 2012, Yu Dan gave a speech at a Kunqu performance at Peking University, booing continuously, and finally was bombed off the stage at the scene.
There is also a rookie master, Chen Guo, a female professor at Fudan University, who has become popular on the Internet because of his ingenious thinking courses. Her lectures do not follow the original book, but integrate her own set of experiences into the curriculum, talk about love and life, talk about philosophy, vivid and interesting. When she was at her peak, the classroom was hard to find, and many students came to stand and listen to the lessons.
Chen Guo is known as Yu Dan's successor, and she has also published a book, which has the shelf style of a life mentor. But gradually controversy broke out, people did not like her, and even the news that her class schedule had been canceled was reported.
Why is that? Who dragged the goddess off the altar? First, the chicken soup for the two was too strong. From Yu Dan to Chen Guo, it seems that there is learning and insight, but after listening to more people, they have found that they do not have any substantive insights, Yu Dan's excessive interpretation of Sinology, Chen Guo's golden sentences to discuss life are frequent, to put it bluntly, it is to feed everyone chicken soup for the soul.
Of course, good chicken soup is also good, but also nutritious. But they went back and forth with three axes, flashy and empty, and everyone listened to the cocoons of their ears, and they were impatient and unwelcome.
Second, the professional knowledge is not solid, and the heart is impetuous. Once promoted to a master, it is inevitable to show your face everywhere, and you can't concentrate on learning.
But if you want to wear the crown and bear its weight first, the eyes of the masses are staring at it, how to convince the public without academic monographs? Yu Dan described Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal as led by Wang Anshi, Chen Guo read "elderly" as "risky", ordinary people make this mistake, the master makes such a low-level mistake, everyone can not buy it.
Third, the goddess has a heavy burden and does not speak in words and deeds. Yu Dan and Chen Guo appeared in front of people, both of them were an elite woman's style, with exquisite makeup, talkative, mature and capable, dashing and confident, but they gave people a feeling of awkwardness and ungroundedness, which made people close. And once words and deeds are wrong, it is more likely to be disgusting.
For example, Yu Dan, one of the big things about her failure was the London Splash. The source of the matter is that Dan went to London to give a lecture, picked his nose and eyes at the hotel booked by the organizer, changed and changed, and always felt that it did not conform to his identity. This is not a true disposition, but a manifestation of a lack of literacy.
These well-known and upright professors are still like this, not to mention some wild road masters, the era of market economy, the background of fast food culture makes some people quickly become popular and quickly lost, losing an interesting soul, how cute is it?
