The multifaceted Hu Shi: Every word and deed is just a detail, which has nothing to do with historical ambition.

Author: Shan Jia's first impression of Mr. Hu Shi came from the song Orchid, and he wrote lyrics. It is thought-provoking for the master to write such fresh and elegant lyrics. I didn't know much at that time, except that Hu Shi came from the other side of the sea. I vaguely know that he was the object of various vigorous movements in the mainland in the last century. It is said that around 1957, the mainland sent people to the United States to find Hu Shi, expressing this meaning: we respect Mr. Hu's personality, but we only oppose Hu Shi's thoughts. Hu Shi immediately replied that there would be no Hu Shi without Hu Shi's thoughts. Hu Shi collected critical articles from the mainland. Someone asked, "Isn't there any knowledge and truth in this millions-word masterpiece?" ! Hu Shi replied categorically: "Without academic freedom, where can we talk about learning?" ? "Hit the floor. Later, after reading his "Old Rain and New Knowledge" and writing down some articles about memories, Hu Shi gradually gained a three-dimensional sense ... Hu Shi, nicknamed "Fu Cannon", is just virtuous and outspoken, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. He is a man who dares to cross his legs and smoke in front of Jiang Gong. However, there are exceptions. Luo Ergang, a student of Hu Shi, was a student in Hu Shi's home. He recalled that in Mr. Yizhi's study, Fu Sinian didn't know the content of the discussion, but just sat in the chair outside, saying "Sir" on the left and "Sir" on the right. His voice was respectful and obedient, but he heard it clearly. I have never seen Hu Shi's students come to see Hu Shi, and no one likes Fu Sinian. Fu Sinian In fact, Hu Shi and Fu Sinian are also "strangers". Hu Shi returned from overseas and was employed as a professor in Peking University. The audience in his class was like a cloud at that time. After listening to it, my good friend Gu Jiegang knew Dr. Hu like the back of his hand. Go and listen. Fu went, not only listened, but also asked, and between questions and answers, Hu Shi's sweat came down. Hu Shi later said-at that time, he found that students like Fu Sinian were better at Chinese studies, so he was always on tenterhooks and encouraged himself to work harder. Fu Sinian, Hu Shi and Hu Shi's eldest son, Hu Zuwang, established a special relationship between teachers and friends from then on until their whole lives. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Fu Sinian, director of the Institute of Historical Linguistics, moved back to Nanjing from Zhuangli, and the institutes gathered together to celebrate. Hu Shi came over and shook hands with everyone, which was kind and touching. Fu Sinian said bluntly: "Mr. Yizhi is the dean of Shiyu College and an aunt." Suddenly, laughter and applause joined together, making the guests happy. Hu Shi Hu Shi and Zhao Yuanren are alumni of Cornell University in the United States. They have been in contact for many years and have a deep friendship. In 1930s, Zhao and his wife loved traveling, and once passed through Shexian, Hu Shi's hometown, which was a beautiful hometown. Later, Yang Buwei (Zhao Yuanren's wife) wrote a letter to Hu Shi-you have such a good geomantic place, so you are alone. Hu Shi wrote back-Yun Qing (Yang Buwei, formerly known as Yang Yunqing), I want to kiss you one hundred times, thank you. Hu Shi's happiness, appealing to the pen and being outspoken, is really overflowing with joy. Zhao Yuanren and Yang Buwei 1939, Hu Shi was the ambassador to the United States at that time. Zhao Yuanren drove his family across the continental United States and had fun all the way. One day, Zhao had a heart attack and stopped for three days before leaving. I'm going to visit Hu Shi via Washington. I can't go because I was delayed for three days. So Yang Buwei wrote to Hu Shi and told him why he couldn't go to see him. Later, Yang recalled that I didn't know I was in a hurry, so I informed the consulates around the country to entertain us and told him the details. He doesn't know that most highways pass through big cities, and we never visit people all the way, for fear of interruption and trouble, so I have been worried about him for many days. It was not until I wrote the third letter that he felt a little comfort. When you see me in the future, you blame me for letting Ren Yuan drive such a long car regardless of the danger. I had to smile, because of such a deep friendship, I was embarrassed to scold him for not being sensible. Friendship is priceless, and Hu Shi knows the truth. Hu Shi and 1944 Hu Shi give lectures at Harvard. Every day at lunch or dinner, he always eats at Zhao's house. To Zhao's wife's embarrassment, Hu Shi always thinks about large pieces of meat, always asking for two or three pieces at a time. During the war, meat was the hardest to buy and had to be supplied in limited quantities. On this day, Yang Buwei bought a large piece of horse meat and quietly made a braise in soy sauce. Hu Shi came to the third block around and did not forget to praise the hostess-well done, I will come to the third and fourth blocks again. Yang A-Try to eat as much as you like. As he spoke, he took out a piece of raw food from the refrigerator and showed it to Hu Shi, saying-there are still so many, enough to eat for two or three days. Come over for two meals every day. Hu Shi said yes, looked at the raw meat and said-well, you did well, too. Yang used a pun-do you think this is really good? You know what meat I cook, and it's just as delicious. Hu Shi has a good appetite and a big appetite. I really don't treat Zhao as an outsider. Let's cut to the chase and satisfy your appetite first. Fortunately, there is enough horse meat, but it can be done! Later, when Hu Shi learned the truth, he always played a joke on his friends. Yang Buwei confused the story of his eating horse meat. Zhao Yuanren and Yang Buwei One day, Hu Shi asked Zhao Yuanren-why didn't he write that diary that had not been broken for many years? Zhao said-if you want to write a memoir, Yun Qing's decades of experience, coupled with her super memory, is worth writing. Hu Shi clapped his hands and said, Say that clear clouds have begun to write! Later, Yang Buwei really wrote A Woman's Autobiography. Hu Shi saw it and appreciated it very much-Yun Qing, you really have this skill. When the master praises others, he is also concise and interesting. Ji Xianlin studied in Germany for ten years. After returning to China, he served as an associate professor in Peking University, and was later promoted to full professor and head of the Department of Oriental Language and Literature. Hu Shi was then president. As the head of the department, I want to report to the president for instructions. He is the editor-in-chief of an academic supplement in the newspaper, and I am also a contributor, so it is inevitable that I often talk about academic issues. The most commendable thing is that he treats people kindly and smiles at everyone, professors, staff, students and workers. I have never seen him put on the airs of celebrity and professor, which was quite popular at that time. Besides, we often have the opportunity to meet at professors' meetings, tutors' meetings of Peking University College of Arts and Sciences, and seminars of Beijing Library. As a young junior, I never feel embarrassed in front of him. I often feel like sitting in the spring breeze. Mr Ji Xianlin is very humorous. He is never stuffy, but lively and interesting. There is one little thing that I will never forget. There was once a meeting of professors. Mr Yang Zhensheng has received a rare ancient painting. In order to let everyone appreciate it, he took it to the meeting and opened it on a huge table for everyone to worship. At this time, Mr. Yizhi suddenly stood up, walked to the table, put the picture scroll on it and put it in his sleeve, which attracted a lot of laughter. Indeed, some people commented that Hu Shi seems to be able to "do it properly" no matter where he is. Hu Shi 1934, when Zhang Chonghe (wife and sister of Shen Congwen) was admitted to Peking University, he got full marks in Chinese and zero in arithmetic. Later, Peking University accepted her. On the first day of school, Hu Shi was the head of the Chinese Department, and there was a party in the department. He said, "Zhang Xuan! "! I don't want to apply for Peking University in the name of Chonghe, so I use Zhang Xuan's name for fear that I won't be admitted. You are not very good at math (in fact, you are not good), so you need to make up! "He was frightened and ran to the Academic Affairs Office and said," How can I make it up? I'm afraid I can't make up for it. I don't know addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. I'd rather not! The people in the academic affairs office were happy when they heard it, and said with a smile, "You can take it. What else can you make up? Hu Shi wants to be bureaucratic for you! This is the first meeting between Chong and Hu Shi, who she called Mr. Hu. Zhang Chonghe later married Hans Hermannt Frankel and settled in the United States in June 1949. When I first arrived in America, I worked in Berkeley Library. Hu Shi first worked in Princeton and then taught in Berkeley. But Hu Shi can't fill in the library to borrow books. So if he wants to borrow books, he always asks him first, helps him fill out the form, lends it out and puts it on the table, and he comes to get it himself. Fill in the notes-Hu Shi likes to come to my house to write, because he knows that my paper, ink, pen and inkstone are ready-made and must be of high quality. Hu Shi is a very handsome man. He loves writing, but he doesn't actually write many posts. His handwriting, like Zheng's, likes to drag left and right, which is quite interesting to write. I asked him if it was true, and he laughed: "You saw my roots!" " There is a notebook called "Red Claw of Qu Ren", which was left by Qu Ren and contains messages and sketches. Hu Shi turned to this little book, and he also wanted to write a message and laugh at him-oh, wait, you can't sing, this can be called a poet's paw! Hu Shi argued irrationally-I can't write songs, but I wrote all the songs you sang-all written in my China literature history! Hu Shi's sense of humor is obvious to his students. Zhang Chonghe and Hans Hermannt Frankel are reconciled-Hu Shi is also very kind to Hans, and we always joke together and have a good time. Things in the world are often inextricably linked. At that time, Hans came to teach at Peking University, which was introduced by Hu Shi. As a result, Hans and Chonghe met, knew each other and fell in love in Beiping, resulting in a foreign love. Zhao He, the third sister who was entrusted with the important task of peace, was studying in a Chinese academy that year, which made the teacher Shen Congwen tempted. Hu Shi also helped Shen Bao get the beauty back. There are different opinions about Zhang Chonghe's calligraphy life. 1June, 949, Nie Hualing came to Taiwan to join Free China magazine edited by Lei Zhen and served as the editorial board member. She is the youngest and only woman on the editorial board. 1952165438+10, Hu Shi returned to Taiwan Province from the United States. On the day when Hu Shi arrived in Taiwan, Lei Zhen invited Hua Ling to present flowers at the airport. Hualing left a note-Mr. Xian Huan (Lei Zhen, the word Xian Huan): You asked me to present flowers to Mr. Hu Shi. This is a beautiful job and a vivid scene. I am neither beautiful nor fond of playing, please give me a break! On September 5th, 1960 Nie Hualing, the headline of United Daily News: Lei Zhen is suspected of rebellion. Subsequently, Lei Zhen and Mr. Fu Zheng were arrested. A few years later, Nie Hualing wrote an article-politics in my eyes, scene after scene. I care about real politics and don't like to participate. I'm interested in people on the political stage. Hu Shi's character is memorable. Before Nie Hualing Lei Zhen was sentenced, even his family could not visit him in prison. After the verdict, his family can visit him in prison every Friday. As soon as we arrived on Friday, we eagerly looked forward to Hu Shi's visit to Lei Zhen. He can go to see Lei Zhen without saying a word. The public's silent gesture is a great spiritual support for Lei Zhen who is in prison. Friday is here. Friday is here again. Friday is here again. Lonely Friday passed, and Hu Shi didn't go to see Lei Zhen. Yin, Xia Daoping, Wen and I couldn't help it. We should listen to his attitude towards the case. One night, we went to Nangang to see Hu Shi. He entertained us with snacks, humor and smiles. On the day of Lei Zhen's retrial, he played dominoes alone in his study. Presumably, he is very lonely and depressed. The real Hu Shi was imprisoned in his own prison. It was not until1February 24, 962 that he suddenly fell to the ground after the reception for the new academician in Taiwan Province Academia Sinica, and was freed from that prison. After a snack, a little humor and a smile, Hua Ling used three "ones" in succession, which really expressed her dissatisfaction and sadness. Hua Ling's heart is painful and bitter ... Mr. Hu Shi described by Nie Hualing in this article, taking a sip and a beak, his words and deeds are only details, and have nothing to do with historical ambitions ...? After Hu Shi left, the road sacrifice in the empty lane was more sad than the "sacrifice in the lane and worship in the wild" after Zhuge Liang's death. A person's achievement is not measured by money, but by how many people you are kind to and how many people miss you in your life. The heart is a steelyard, and what it weighs is its own words and deeds; Words and deeds are a mirror, reflecting one's own mind. Hu Shi
