Yu Dahua's parents are both middle school teachers. When he was a teenager, he read a lot of books because of his parents. "I'm quite partial. My father is a Chinese teacher in a middle school and often borrows many books to go home. Generally speaking, I will read whatever they bring back. " Yu Dahua, seemingly ignorant, came into contact with history and culture and became interested. /kloc-when he was 0/7 years old, his father took the initiative to enroll him in the history department. "I didn't have any ideas at the time, so I let the newspaper report it."
Like many young people now, Yu Dahua was partial at that time, and his math score in the college entrance examination was only 9 points. He joked: "Many years later, I had a nightmare and said that I would take a math test, and I immediately woke up." At that time, many students in the class applied for the Foreign Languages Department. "I didn't add it because I didn't have to take math in a foreign language." Although his math score was very low, Yu Dahua was admitted to Liaoning Normal University named Liaoning Normal University at that time with excellent results in other subjects. Having worked in this university for more than 20 years, he still remembers what he looked like when he first came to the school. "At that time, there was no fence, the campus was full of weeds, and there were sweet potato fields, which was much worse than the current conditions." Yu Dahua still remembers the encouragement and guidance of the teacher at that time. He said with emotion: "When you are confused, the teacher will help you and encourage you, so that you can go on and benefit for life."
Later, he was admitted to Shandong University as a graduate student. He was also the only graduate student admitted to another school that year. So at the end of his graduate school, teachers at his alma mater encouraged him to come back to teach. Back to school again, Yu Dahua became a teaching assistant. "College students have a relatively large degree of freedom in class, and teachers should rely on their skills to keep students from skipping classes." 1987, he taught students for the first time and was almost kicked out of the classroom by students. "The students in that class are only a little younger than me. As soon as I entered the classroom, they began to stamp their feet and shush. " But after ten minutes, the heckling students were quiet, and now they are still very fulfilled. "It should be said that after I finished writing the topic, they were quiet because my handwriting was very good." Many years later, a student said to him, "I said I wanted to get rid of me, but I gave up when I spoke very well." In Lecture Room, Yu Dahua tells the modern history of China. This period of history was chosen "because it is close to us, and many themes still have an impact on today's China, which can arouse people's * * *. But it's not too close, and many things people today don't understand. " He regarded this period of history as a period of great social change after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. "There are too many people who can be moved, and there are too many thought-provoking things. For example, the Westernization Movement put forward its own claim to wealth, and we are also mentioning it now. "
In the narrative, Yu Dahua insisted on a simple explanation. "Don't think that all students can understand what we say in Chinese. There are many things to understand." At the same time, he emphasized the necessity of humor. "Humor is the basic quality of human beings. Students report that Yu Dahua is not tired in class and can keep students together. " These are also his magic weapons to challenge the remote control in the hands of the audience, so he set himself the standard of letting go as much as possible. Some people think that his northeast accent is biased, "there is a strong smell of ballast." For this kind of doubt, Yu Dahua expressed understanding, "but I have always said so." Earlier, Yan Chongnian established the status of "Lecture Room" and "Work of Town House" with the series of "Twelve Emperors of Qing Dynasty"; Now, Yu Dahua once again appeared in the lecture room, talking about Emperor Xianfeng. Some netizens called it Yan Chongnian's Twelve Emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Although there is no necessary connection between the two, standing in the CCTV forum and being an expert in Qing history still has a feeling of being on the same stage. "Yan Chongnian is my teacher, and I have read his books." Yu Dahua said: "I am different from Teacher Yan Chongnian. He said that the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty were the length of each emperor's two speeches, while I said that each emperor spoke 10 to 15 times. There is not much comparability between the two. "
"I want to continue to talk about the emperor after Puyi"-Yu Dahua was interviewed by this reporter.
Reporter: It is said that you only got 9 points in math in the college entrance examination. Is it true?/You don't say.
Yu Dahua: It's really true. The college entrance examination 30 years ago is different from now. Math only got 9 points, almost zero, but other subjects were close to full marks, so I was admitted to the university. Of course, this matter may be misleading to children today. In fact, mathematics is still very important, so we must learn it.
Reporter: Why do you choose to talk about emperors, especially emperors and history in the late Qing Dynasty?
Yu Dahua: Historical materialism holds that the people created history, but the emperor also occupied a very important position in history. A series of major events that affected the historical process revolved around the emperor. Tell the history of the late Qing Dynasty because it is close to us. Many themes still have influence on China today and can arouse people's admiration.
Reporter: For Pu Yi's research, many people think that you are a paraphrase of other people's research. what do you think?
Yu Dahua: I am interested in this history. I have done a lot of research myself, maybe not as much as some scholars, but I have also published many papers. Although it is not the best, it also has many achievements of its own.
Reporter: Will you continue to explain the emperor in the future? What are your plans for the future?
Yu Dahua: After Pu Yi finished, I want to continue to explain the emperor, and talk about Tongzhi and Guangxu Emperor. In fact, after Qianlong, the Qing dynasty began to decline, but it lasted for more than 100 years before it died. There are many reasons and stories, and the emperors in the late Qing Dynasty have their own characteristics, so it is very meaningful to study them carefully.
