Mao Zedong and Yang Shuda: How the friendship between the two is, only from these four text messages can be seen in general
One day in early February 1955, Yang Shuda, a professor at Hunan Normal University, received a registered letter from Beijing from a postman, and he opened the letterhead with joy and found that the letter was actually a handwritten letter written by Chairman Mao Zedong, only to see that it read:
Mr. Yufu:
Huishu and the great works have received several kinds, thank you very much! Honorable and healing, extremely comforting. After a full recovery, you are welcome to visit Beijing.
Greetings by the way
Mao Zedong
January 29, 1955
From this letter, we can see the friendship between Mao Zedong and Yang Shuda.
Yang Shuda, Zi Yufu, Ji Jiwei, a native of Changsha, Hunan, is a famous Linguist, Paleographer and well-known democrat in China, born in 1885, who studied at the Changsha Shiwu School in his early years and studied in Japan after the coup d'état. In 1911, he returned to China after completing his studies and successively taught at Hunan Provincial Girls' Normal School and Hunan Provincial First Normal School.
The acquaintance of Mao Zedong and Yang Shuda was probably during the time of the First Normal School in Hunan. It was June 1918, Mao Zedong had just graduated from the First Division, Yang Shuda came to the school to teach, and the two admired each other after they met. In April 1919, Mao Zedong went from Shanghai to Changsha and was introduced by his classmate Zhou Shizhao to Xiuye Primary School as a history teacher. At this time, Mao Zedong and Yang Shuda intersected and knew each other. Because of their similar interests, the exchanges between the two became more and more intimate, and gradually became a relationship between mentors and friends.
In May 1919, the May Fourth Movement, the most influential in modern and contemporary Chinese history, broke out. At that time, Mao Zedong also mobilized and led the members of the Xinmin Society in Changsha to go to various schools to personally draft leaflets and mobilize young students in response to the patriotic movement of Beijing students. In late May, the Hunan Students' Federation was established. In December of that year, Mao Zedong organized a campaign in Changsha to drive Zhang Jingyao out, launching a general strike of students throughout the province, hoping to drive the warlord Zhang Jingyao out of Hunan. In early December, Mao Zedong and Yang Shuda led a delegation to Beijing to petition.
On December 18, several representatives of the Zhang delegation arrived in Beijing. It's the middle of winter, the weather is unusually cold, the sky is drifting with snowflakes, and the bare branches are hung with crystal clear ice strips. Mao Zedong and Yang Shuda led the members of the delegation to drive Zhang to brave the severe cold and snow to rush into the Yinian Hall of Fengyang Garden in Zhongnanhai, where President Xu Shichang and Premier Jin Yunpeng of the Beiyang Government worked. The Beiyang government ignored the petitioning students and refused to send people to meet them, and the guards guarding the gate were ordered to shoot and block. Mao Zedong, Yang Shuda, and others were awe-struck by their righteousness, and they desperately commanded everyone to rush in. The guards had no choice but to let them go.
In the Yi Nian Hall, Mao Zedong and Yang Shuda and Jin Yunpeng's secretary general engaged in a war of words and fierce arguments. After the delegation's arguments, the Secretary-General of the Prime Minister agreed to negotiate and designated two representatives of citizens, faculty members and students to participate in the delegation. Mao Zedong and Yi Lirong were citizen representatives, Yang Shuda was the representative of the faculty and staff, and Li Si'an and Liu Min were the student representatives, and the negotiations began here.
During the negotiations, Yang Shuda was furious at the warlord's disregard for the petitioning students, and he took the case and asked Jin Yunpeng's secretary general in a loud voice: "Hunan students have left their hometowns and braved the wind and snow to come to Beijing, and so many people have come, why don't you come out to meet them?" Hunan is making such a big fuss, why don't you solve it?" Jin Yunpeng's secretary general was dumbfounded when asked.
Thirty years later, history has had a surprising coincidence. Mao Zedong, as the leader of the Chinese people, walked into the house where he participated in the negotiations and became the owner of the place, and lived there until 1967.
Mao Zedong still remembers the petition in Beijing that year. In 1951, when he met Li Si'an, an old classmate who had returned from Nanyang, at Fortress Garden, he said, "Do you remember the time we went to Xinhuamen to sit on the cold bench?"
Remember, of course remember! Li Si'an will not forget this unforgettable past, and Yang Shuda's heart has never erased this deep memory...
After the May Fourth Movement, Yang Shuda devoted himself to academic research and teaching, and once went to Beijing to teach, serving as a professor at Beijing Normal University and Tsinghua University. Later, he returned to Xiangxiang as the dean of the College of Literature of Hunan University, and was awarded the position of dean of the Academia Sinica.
After the founding of New China, Yang Shuda continued to engage in language teaching and ancient script research, successively serving as a professor at Hunan University, a professor at Hunan Normal College, a member of the Hunan Provincial People's Committee, a director of the Hunan Museum of Culture and History, a member of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and was cordially received by party and state leaders.
As a linguist and paleographer, Yang Shuda has profound research and attainment in China's paleography. On June 19, 1925, In a letter to Wu Guanzhai, Mr. Zhang Taiyan gave a high evaluation to Yang Shuda's ancient script research results. Throughout his life, Yang has been engaged in scientific research on education and Chinese cultural heritage, and has written a lot of books in a rigorous and tireless manner. His major works include "Continuation of Examples of Doubtful Meanings in Ancient Books", "Higher National Grammar", "Interpretation of Words", "Analects of Thinning Evidence", "Book of Han Peeping Pipe", "Ma's Wen Tong Periodical Error", "Ji Wei Ju Jin Wen Shu", "Ji Wei Ju Primary School Shu Lin" and so on.
In January 1955, Yang Shuda wrote a letter to Mao Zedong and sent several of his own books at the same time. The letter proposed that he wanted to go to Beijing to reminisce with Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao personally replied after receiving the letter, welcoming him to "come to Beijing for a visit," but only after Yang Shuda recovered from his illness. Yang Shuda was therefore unable to go to Beijing, and immediately sent Chairman Mao the preface to the book "Neilin Kujiawen Saying That Words Seek Righteousness" and asked Chairman Mao to review it, with a letter attached. In his letter, Yang Shuda criticized the "bureaucratic style" of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in reviewing the book.
After receiving Yang Shuda's letter and the "Self-Introduction," Mao Zedong attached great importance to it and immediately forwarded it to the Chinese Academy of Sciences: "Please order the relevant units to pay attention." Then, he wrote a reply to Yang Shuda, informing him of the handling of the letter:
On February 14, Huishu was read. The preface has been read. The letter will also be transmitted to the Academy of Sciences for their attention. This complex. Good luck!
March 17
Two months later, Yang Shuda again received a handwritten letter from Mao Zedong, in which he talked about Yang Shuda's attitude towards learning and affirmed:
Mr. Yufu:
I have been violating the teachings for many years, and I am very grateful for the last two letters! The issues discussed have been resolved by sir in the second letter, and I think it would be better to adopt this attitude. This complex. Shun salute hanging!
May 17
Under the care of Mao Zedong, Mr. Yang Shuda was old and strong, and he tried his best to engage in the research and teaching of paleography, he was rigorous in his studies, and he wrote a large number of papers and published more than ten important monographs. In his study of ancient languages and scripts and classics and historical books, he has a brilliant and thorough explanation, solved many problems that could not be solved by predecessors, and removed many obstacles for future generations to sort out China's cultural heritage.
In February 1956, Mr. Yang Shuda died of illness in Changsha at the age of 71. When Mao Zedong learned of this unfortunate news, he deeply regretted that the death of Mr. Yang was a great loss to China's social science community. On February 16, Mao Zedong entrusted the secretariat office to send a telegram to the relatives of the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Yang Shuda, and personally drafted the telegram, the full text of which is as follows:
Hunan Provincial Political Consultative Conference transferred Mr. Yang Shuda's family:
Shocked to hear of the death of Mr. Shuda, I deeply mourn. Special electric condolences.
February 16, 1956
Condolences expressed the deep nostalgia for Mr. Yang Shuda.
Finally, I recommend this work to everyone to read.
