The article "Cai Yuanpei's Fu Sinian Problem"

Anyone who knows Mr. Cai knows that Mr. Cai is tolerant of others; People who have been educated for a long time have a better understanding of Mr. Cai's temper, and they don't demand much from others and don't reward them indiscriminately. Unlike a person's temper, if you praise him, he will go to heaven, and if you condemn him, he will go to the ground. But few people know that Mr. Cai is sometimes very harsh. I have been a teacher for 25 years, and I have seen Teacher Cai angry and complaining. I dare not say anything about others, only that it is related to me.

(1) In Mr. Cai's first year at Peking University, one of his classmates grew up to be a petty bureaucrat and did something unsatisfactory, so classmate XXX posted a "crusade" notice on the wall of the West House (one of the dormitories); Within two days, endless anonymous documents appeared on the wall, which made the classmate "happy". Another one is mine, because I hate this person very much. My anonymous post is ostensibly for this gentleman, but it is actually ironic. Appreciate it for students, pay attention to it and criticize it. This is a big joke in the school at present. A few days later, Mr Cai gave a speech at a meeting. Finally, he talked about it to the effect that:

It is unreasonable for you to attack XX Jun on the wall. If you are not satisfied with X Jun, you can persuade them. This is the friendship of your classmates. If you think you can't convince, you can tell the school authorities. This is the right way. As for posting anonymously, the receiver will never regret it even if he has, while the giver is the beginning of losing his character. Anyone who does this will repent in the future, otherwise this kind of behavior will be the end of character degradation. This sentence caused a great stir in my heart. When I was a child, a gentleman taught me to be honest and sincere. "Righteousness" refers to a correct attitude; "Sincerity" is the sincerity of the soul. "Don't cheat the darkroom" means don't hurt people in the dark. "Although the" University "is well read, it is as unconscious as a monk chanting; After this lesson, I realized that from now on, I will never be anonymous or blame myself. What's your impression after listening to Mr. Cai? I don't know. The anonymous "wall newspaper literature" of Peking University has since decreased and gone to extremes.

(2) When Mr. Cai visited Germany for the second time, it was about thirteen years of the Republic of China, when I was also in Berlin. After Mr. Cai arrived, several of our classmates volunteered to take care of Mr. Cai, and my share was in a mess. I naturally feel ashamed, but Mr. Cai never blames me. Once, a classmate sent a telegram to Mr. Cai, saying that he wanted to see Mr. Cai in Leipzig. This classmate is famous for his absurd temperament. He scolded him and asked for money. I think he must have come for money, and Mr. Cai is extremely poor, so he and three or four classmates advocated calling him and refused him in order to inform Mr. Chen. Mr. Wang said thoughtfully, "There are a few words in the Analects of Confucius,' Why not retreat and advance? A person will make progress if he is clean, but he may not be able to walk if he is clean. (1) [instead of success, ... it is not guaranteed. The Analects of Confucius? The seventh ". It means that if you recognize his progress and don't recognize his retrogression, why go too far? When a man tells the whole story, he should recognize his self-purification and not always pursue his past. For, of course. You say he is boring, but can he change his boredom by keeping people away like this? "

Then I know that reading of the analects of confucius is like this.

(3) After the victory of the Northern Expedition, we were in high spirits. One day at my husband's house for dinner, several students were drunk, and Mr. Cai drank more. I don't remember how to talk about it. Then I talked nonsense. I said, "When our country is finished, we must not only destroy the Japanese kid, even the western devil, but also drive him out of the west of the Suyi Canal. From the Arctic Ocean to the Antarctic Ocean, except for India, Persia and Turkey, we must' counties'." Mr. Cai was impatient and said, "This is unless you are a general."

In addition, there are many such people, either implicated in others or too long, so I won't mention them. That is, these three things have fully proved how sincere and serious Mr. Wang is in blaming others, and how close and far-reaching his words are.

Some people think that what Mr. Cai has suffered is excessive, which is not a fact at all, but that he is different in a profound ideal. In the application of law, most people and some people in China assume that a person is guilty unless he is proved innocent. Modern western law assumes that a person is innocent unless he is proved guilty. Mr. Cai is not so special in law, and everyone treats him like this. He first assumes that a person is a good person unless it is proved otherwise. Anyone who speaks with a word assumes that he is sincere and has good intentions unless the contrary is proved. Being fooled by such a practice is natural, but this is exactly what Mencius said: "A gentleman can bully his side, but it is difficult to ignore it."

"a gentleman can bully the weak and be afraid of the hard ... non-Tao" comes from Mencius? "On Zhang Wan" means that for a gentleman, you can try your best to tease him with natural feelings, but you can't fool him with a wrist that goes against the truth. If you think that Mr. Cai can forgive but not be strict, it is all wet. Mr. Cai is meticulous in important matters. If someone does something he thinks is great, he doesn't say it, but he knows it completely. As for not being afraid of danger and not being in trouble, only the great ancient religious master can compare with him, although he doesn't attach importance to religion. I'll just give you a distant example about this kind of thing. Some time before the May 4th Movement, the air in Beijing was already very turbulent for the works of teachers and students of Peking University. The Beiyang government was very upset and exerted great pressure and intimidation on Mr. Cai. As for the detective's follow-up, it is a very small matter. One day, on the way, Mr. Cai talked about it at his then "Xunke" home, and another Xunke was there. At that time, Mr. Cai had these two clients to discuss how to deal with Beiyang government. An old customer talked endlessly, urging Mr Cai to dismiss Mr Chen Duxiu and restrict Mr. The reason is nothing more than to save the authorities and the northern scholars, which is a specious rhetoric. Mr. Cai never said a word. It was not until they talked for hours that Mr. Cai stood up and said, "I'm not afraid of these things." I have endured humiliation so far, all for the school, but there is no end to humiliation. " Everything in Peking University is on me, Cai Yuanpei, and has nothing to do with these people. "It may not sound like it feels now, but imagine the scene in those days. In Beijing, there are only some Beiyang bandits, Anfu thieves and Yuan Shikai. An Fu thief refers to a bureaucratic politician manipulated by the northern Anhui warlord. Yuan's legacy refers to the remnants of the traitor Yuan Shikai. There are only a few literate people in human form. How fearless Mr. Cai is to run Peking University there and sow the seeds of patriotic revolution for the country!
