    It¡¯s mid-September, and it¡¯s mid-autumn in Beijing. The sun is still a little warm at noon, but it¡¯s cool and pleasant in the morning and evening, making it the perfect place for walking.

    After coming out of the old man's house, Sun Yuanqi had already sobered up from his wine. When he saw the willow branches above the moon and the twelfth-twelfth moon shining on the ground, he said to Old Zhao and Old Zheng: "The moonlight is just right tonight.  I want to walk around at will. If you have anything to do, please go back first!"

    Old Zhao smiled and said: "What did the master say? What can happen to us?"

    "Lao Zheng also said: "Master, you can do whatever you want, we can follow behind so that we can take care of you."

    Sun Yuanqi didn¡¯t force himself and walked along the road towards Houhai.  After passing through a few secluded alleys, you can see the sparkling Houhai Lake under the moon.  Because it is already eight or nine o'clock in the evening, ordinary people have to get up early tomorrow to make a living, and many of them have already gone to bed.  There were no lights around the lake, and occasionally there were a few dogs barking, but it became increasingly quiet. For a while, I could only hear the "bang bang" footsteps of a few of my own people.

    As soon as the evening breeze blew, Sun Yuanqi felt that his head that was feverish after drinking suddenly sobered up a lot, and he began to think about what happened during the day: he and his colleagues from the Hanlin Academy did not seem to have the slightest entanglement, and they did not even have any intersection before.  It is not difficult to understand if these people are wary of you because you have just entered this small group, and are a little curious or alienated when they speak.  But why do they treat themselves with ridicule and contempt?

    If analyzed carefully, there are no more than two reasons:

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????? First of all, if I am not from a formal imperial examination, but I rashly obtain a high position according to it, it is like a thief who steals the ripe wheat in someone else¡¯s field, and he will naturally be hated by others.

    Secondly, what I studied was a foreign set of things, which was completely different from the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" that traditional scholars studied.  In their view, these imported products are all evil practices, but now these evil practices are becoming widespread. As defenders of traditional culture, they are naturally full of resentment.  They could not change the historical trend, nor could they change the decisions made by the court. At this time, they unconsciously regarded themselves as representatives of Western learning, ridiculing, insulting and teasing them to vent their dissatisfaction.

    However, more than sixty years have passed since the Opium War. China has been defeated repeatedly by the powerful ships and artillery of the Western and Eastern powers. It should be time to learn from the pain and change its past. Why do these scholars still hold the  What about benevolence, justice, etiquette and wisdom?  Is it really a systemic problem, as later said in political textbooks?  If it is really a systemic problem, it seems that only one or even several violent revolutions can change the status quo!

    Thinking of this, Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but shook his head: Violent revolution can naturally eradicate the roots and eradicate shortcomings, but it will also bring about a series of problems.  Looking back at the Revolution of 1911, the May 4th Movement, the Northern Expedition, the Encirclement and Counter-Encirclement and Suppression, the War of Liberation and the Cultural Movement from the perspective of future generations, they certainly swept away the dregs of dynastic politics, but what about those excellent cultural traditions?  It¡¯s okay to throw out the bath water, but you can¡¯t throw out the baby too!

    But what can I do?  Sun Yuanqi felt a little unconfident when he thought of this.

    During the more than 20 years before entering the Qing Dynasty, most of them were studying in school and did not know much about the world.  When everyone gets together, the international situation and the domestic political situation are all topics of conversation at the wine table; Taizu's romantic affair, Taizong moving bricks to watch the bath, and Gaozong saying "Stupid, turn on the lamp" are all jokes and harmless.  Conflicts between classmates usually involve quarreling and shaking fists at most. I have never heard of using the Criminal Code to convict students and punish them with death.  When I was ready to enter society and work, I made a mistake and ended up in the late Qing Dynasty.

    ????????????????????????It has been more than seven years since the late Qing Dynasty.  In the past seven years or so, half of the time has been spent abroad. Because of this, I often cannot fully integrate into this society, especially the officialdom with strict rules.

    Since the beginning, I have been a teacher at the Capital University and Chongshi Middle School, and now, I am just an honest principal.  The social atmosphere at this time was "once a teacher, always a father". The students always respected me, so why did I need to be cunning and conspiratorial?  It is precisely because I have been hiding in school for most of the past thirty years that my understanding of the world and the dangers of the world are still in the primary stage of socialism.  As a result, because he didn't eat with a Beizi, he was considered disobedient, disrespectful to his ancestors, harboring gangsters, harboring treacherous plots, causing trouble to people's hearts, and taking advantage of foreign countries to take advantage of his own dignity!  I had dinner with a group of Hanlins and recited a few jingles while drunk, but they were regarded as anti-poetry!  Based on the way he treats people, if it weren't for the protection of his boss, no matter in the turbulent officialdom or in the lurking crisis of running a school, he would probably be thrown into jail or hide in a foreign country and ask for asylum!

    Although I have no favorable impression of the officialdom in the late Qing Dynasty, I haveThis group of stubborn and dim-witted officials were extremely disgusted, but Sun Yuanqi still discovered many bright spots in society, such as mutual trust and kindness between people, harmony and friendship between neighbors, mutual help, personal integrity, and  Chong Ran Nuo.

    During this period, I also corrected many deviations in my previous understanding.  For example, the landlords described in books in the past were all the fat-headed, big-eared Huang Shiren from the fish and meat village. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, through conversations with Lao Zhao and others, we learned that there were naturally many landlords and evil gentry who did all kinds of evil, but more landlords relied on diligence and thrift.  Through thrift, farming and education, and accumulation over several generations, we acquired the land we have today.  Clan is not the murderer who persecutes widows and causes family tragedies, but is an important force in ensuring local stability and eliminating social conflicts.

    In the countryside, although there are no clear regulations, both their own responsibilities and public opinion will require the gentry and clans to take on their own social responsibilities in order to repay the society - you must know that in the late Qing Dynasty, a county often had hundreds of thousands of people, and the real  There are only dozens of officials and they are simply unable to handle so many affairs. This requires the township to have its own regulatory mechanism.

    When major matters such as building bridges, dredging canals, and resisting soldiers and invaders occurred, the gentry and clan leaders were the conveners, decision-makers, leaders, and even the main investors; when major disasters such as floods and droughts occurred, they would also actively  Contribute to disaster relief, distribute food and clothing, and appeal to the county government.  During times of famine, one cannot take advantage of others' danger to buy other people's fields, and no one in the clan should starve to death. These are the most basic requirements. Those who violate these rules will be called "evil gentry" and "unkind for the sake of wealth."  Only after the gentry and clans are powerless and the local self-government system collapses will large-scale displacement occur.

    After understanding this, Sun Yuanqi, as a person who has experienced this, cherishes these values ????among the middle and lower classes more than anyone else, because these values ????are the projection and accumulation of Chinese civilization among the people for thousands of years, but if you want to destroy this hard-won  Social and ecological balance will only take a few decades.

    The simplest example is chastity.  When many people mention this, they will think of "starving to death is a small matter, but being dishonest is a big deal." They think that women in ancient times were the kind who would commit suicide if others touched them.  Not at all!  Chastity only regulates women's values. Middle- and lower-class women are no different from men in their daily lives and interactions.  Look at it now. It has only been a few decades since the introduction of Western female prostitutes. Chinese women have not learned "spiritual liberation", but they have learned "physical liberation" to the fullest!

    Sun Yuanqi thought to himself: Since no one knows the future path, and the future path may not be the original path, can we change it so that the development and progress of Chinese society will take less detours?  As long as advanced Western science and technology are popularized and the dross of traditional culture is eliminated, will the country's future be better?  Perhaps, by putting yourself out there, you want to get out of school and out of Beijing, see China's broader social reality, and make more efforts for the country!

    Although Jingshi University is the result of his hard work, his place in his heart is no less than that of his two children, Huaizu and Nianzu.  But as children grow older, of course they have to follow their own path. They cannot stay in their infancy forever or stay in front of their parents forever.  Now that Jingshi University is on the right track, maybe I should let him go and let him grow up freely!

    Yes, I am just a student in the Department of Physics. Most of the time I only know some scientific knowledge. It is a blessing to be able to found a university.  But I still have some knowledge, such as hybrid rice, airplanes, and mass murder weapons. As long as I point out the direction, the students will definitely be able to do better with their intelligence!  One economical university may not be enough, but what about ten or a hundred?  And the book says that eggs cannot be put in one basket.

    ¡°Most of the physics knowledge I know has been emptied out, leaving only a few things at the bottom of the box.  Perhaps this is the time when we should break away from specific experimental research. As a leader of scientific research, we can guide students in the correct research direction in order to create greater social value!

    It¡¯s better to go back!  It¡¯s better to go back!

    Thinking of this, Sun Yuanqi turned around and said to Lao Zhao and Lao Zheng: "It's late at night, let's go back!"

    After returning to school, Sun Yuanqi did not immediately tell Zhang Yuanji and Luo Zhenyu the news. After all, the boss just said so. As for whether it can be realized, whether it will be realized at the beginning of the year or at the end of the year, no one is sure!

    Despite this, Sun Yuanqi still planned to hand over some of the work he was doing to them, and devoted more energy to teaching and compiling teaching materials.

    One day at the end of September, Sun Yuanqi, who was busy, received a telegram from the United States.  When I quickly opened the telegram and looked at it carefully, who else could the letter be than the leader?  (To be continued.
