65438+February 17 is the 26th anniversary of the birth of Hu Shi, a famous thinker, writer and philosopher in modern China. Hu Shi has been engaged in education for many years in his early years, which can be said to be full of peaches and plums. He cares about his students very much, always gives them whatever they need and tries his best to help them. However, when it comes to principles, Hu Shi is unambiguous and never loses his principles.
Hu admired a student named Wu Han when he was the dean of Chinese Academy. Wu Han won Hu Shi's favor with his academic achievements, and gave Wu Han a lot of care in life and study.
After Hu Shi studied in China and worked in Peking University, Wu Han worked as a temporary worker in Peiping, Qiu Lai and yenching university. 1930. Later, Wu Han went to see Hu Shi and wanted to ask Mr. Hu Shi to transfer him to the second grade of Peking University, so he didn't take the exam. Hu Shi immediately said to him: "The entrance examination is a grand ceremony for the country to win talents, and selfishness is not allowed. After you are admitted to Peking University, I can help with the expenses. "
As a result, Wu Han was admitted to Peking University, and got zero in mathematics, but was not admitted. He took the Tsinghua exam again, because Tsinghua didn't take the math exam, so he was admitted. Knowing that Wu Han was very difficult, Hu Shi immediately took out 80 yuan and sent him school meals in Wu Han. And wrote a letter to the person in charge of Tsinghua University, asking them to help Wu Han solve the problem of work-study program. That's it. With the help of Hu Shi, Wu Han successfully entered the history department of Tsinghua University.

Around 1934, Hu Shi was the dean of Peking University College of Literature. As a famous scholar, he still personally taught the history of China's novels. Because he is knowledgeable, knowledgeable and lively, his lectures are very popular, and even people in the society come to listen to his lectures. Wang Shoumei, who later became a scholar and a reporter for Shenbao, is a social youth engaged in literary and artistic creation and often attends his classes.
As a drifter in Beijing, Wang Shoumei often makes a living by writing small manuscripts because of her poor family, and her life is very difficult. At that time, there were not many newspapers in Beijing, and it was not easy for a nobody to make some money from them. At that time, Hu Shi was famous for caring about young people and their growth. The Independent Review edited by him sometimes publishes several literary and artistic works. To this end, Wang Shoumei sent a manuscript to Hu Shi, a well-known teacher, and attached a short message to explain his situation, hoping that he would revise his article and publish it.
On the third night after the letter was posted, after Wang Shoumei returned from his trip, the landlady told him, "A Mr. Hu who lives in the rice warehouse has come to see you. I said you weren't at home, and he left. Soon he sent another letter. " Then she gave the letter to Wang Shoumei. When Wang Shoumei opened the letter, the first thing she saw was two ten-dollar bills. The letter said, "both the letter and the manuscript have been received. The manuscript does not meet the requirements of this journal, and it is really difficult to publish. The manuscript was returned. Attach 20 yuan legal tender and temporarily maintain your life. " Wang Shoumei read the letter and was very moved to think that Mr. Hu Shi, who had only a few acquaintances, could come to see him in person.
Hu Shi is like this. He would rather donate money to help others than do something against his principles because of sympathy. His firm principles are admirable.
