Honorary Professor of Southeast University (2005 ——) I spent my middle school days in Fu Jen Middle School in Wuxi. Fu Jen Middle School is very famous in Wuxi. Has nothing to do with Fu Jen Catholic University. The teachers who taught us at that time were well educated and taught there with the concept of serving the village. Their teaching is very different from other schools, and they are all heuristic.
We also kept in touch with those students who had a particularly good relationship at that time. We had a party the year before and last year, but less than half of our old friends fell down, which was very touching.
At the end of 1948, after graduating from high school for half a year, the situation became very turbulent. My father has been working in the national government. Although he was retired at that time, he still had a certain prestige in the local area. Knowing that his father could never stay in Wuxi, I happened to have a sister in Taipei, so my parents took the whole family to Taiwan Province Province.
There are only 3.6 million people in Taiwan Province Province, and the population has suddenly increased by 6.5438+0.5 million, so the conditions in the past were very difficult. In the first decade of Taiwan Province Province, people were basically starving. My college education was completed in Taiwan Province Provincial University. I studied in the Foreign Languages Department at first, and transferred to the History Department in the second year.
When I was at National Taiwan University, some professors from Peking University, Tsinghua and Central University who had been evacuated from the mainland to Taiwan Province Province concentrated on teaching at National Taiwan University. At that time, the president of National Taiwan University was Mr. Fu Sinian, and I was admitted to National Taiwan University under his guidance. Now that I think about it, this is a lucky opportunity: at that time, there were fewer college students and more good teachers in Taiwan Province Province, which gave me more opportunities to meet different ideas, different schools and choose different topics. This background makes my future historical research different from my peers: I care about a wide range, not just history, but across several doorways-for example, archaeology, history, anthropology and so on.
The reason why I am like this today has a lot to do with the old gentlemen of NTU. At National Taiwan University, I studied archaeology with Mr. Li Ji, ancient society with Mr. Li Zongdong (Xuanbo) and Shang Zhou Oracle Bone Inscriptions with Mr. Dong Yantang (Guest) ... At that time, I was in close contact with these teachers, not only in class, but also in their laboratories. Some old gentlemen don't want to go out, so they let me go to their house to discuss the problem.
Because I was inconvenient to walk, Mr. Li Zongdong asked someone to push me three times. When he said the ancient society, he did not mean the ancient society in China, but the collusion between the ancient Greek and Roman society and the ancient society in China. Teachers and students have classes together, and there is no concept of class and stratum.
Studying one-on-one with Mr. Dong Zuobin has no idea about the class. The old gentleman doesn't know what class time is. He talked all afternoon, and when he was hungry, he bought some steamed bread, half for each person. When he meets a class that he can't teach, let my friend teach. These are probably difficult for modern college students to satisfy. It was Mr Fu Sinian who had a profound influence on my academic choice in my life.
My middle school is in Wuxi, where the academic atmosphere is very good. The Fu Jen Middle School where I live is very small, but the relationship between teachers and students is very harmonious. Besides attending classes, teachers often show us a lot of extracurricular things. At that time, I was interested in history.
After I arrived at National Taiwan University, I was admitted to the Foreign Languages Department. In less than two or three weeks, President Fu Sinian came to see me, because he was impressed by my entrance examination paper, and I got full marks in mathematics. Chinese and history papers were directly recommended by the marking teacher to President Fu. After President Fu found me, he said to me bluntly, "You should study history."
I won the first prize in the whole school composition competition since I was a sophomore at National Taiwan University. Teacher Fu approached me again and said to me, "You should study the history department well and come to the Institute of History and Language to help me in the future."
His old man's appearance is still vivid until now. When studying history, I want to say who influenced me, and that is his old man's house. To my shame, the history I studied was very complicated, and I didn't pay much attention to it. I am interested in everything.
For studying history, I regard history as materials and other disciplines as tools, so that I can use various tools to deal with materials.
Later, I went to the University of Chicago, which is also a very strange institution. I don't care what department you study, students can design their own courses. There, I chose a wide range of courses, including economics, medieval history, archaeology, religion, sociology and so on.
I can hardly tell what department I studied at the University of Chicago. For example, I studied religion, but I didn't get credit. I am the only student who chooses to study religion. I climbed to the third floor to listen to the teacher.
I had an operation in the hospital for physical reasons. The old professor who taught me the history of ancient Egypt came to my bed to give me lessons, bring books, talk and discuss.
Chicago is the receiver and base camp of Weber's theory. When I got there, Weber's theory had just spread there. When I was studying sociology there, I began to notice the civil service system in China, because it is a part of Weber's theoretical system. My tutor, Mr Blau, is engaged in the analysis of China's civil service system. At this time, I began to notice the basic difference between Weber's bureaucratic system and China's civil service system.
These are all the luck of my life. Because of the operation, I was inconvenient to walk, so I got special care from the teacher and got opportunities that others could not easily meet. 1962, I went to work in the Institute of Historical Languages. In fact, before this, I joined the Institute of Historical Languages in 1953, but because the first institute was opened in National Taiwan University, I quit my job in the Institute of Historical Languages and went back to school to study as a graduate student. Until 1956, I was the first graduate student of National Taiwan University. There is also a postgraduate scholarship, which is more than my assistant's salary in Shiyu, 50 yuan. And you don't have to do anything, just study hard.
At that time, the postgraduate education in Taiwan Province province was different from that in Chinese mainland, where one tutor took one student, while in Taiwan Province province, an academic steering committee composed of three to five people was in charge. This gave me considerable stimulation, because at that time, several of my tutors had different academic ideas, and they talked about each other there, forcing me to think and find my own way.
Later 1962 officially went to the institute of history and language, and stayed until 1970, still teaching at his alma mater, with two letters of appointment and one salary. From 65438 to 0964, I began to be the head of the history department of National Taiwan University, and then I began to take charge of some trivial chores. The principal at that time was Qian Siliang. His old man always assigned me to do different things and never let me be idle. Now that I think about it, I was so busy in those years, but I also had the advantage of being able to separate my horizons from my simple study and life in the past and gain a broader horizon.
At that time, another job that kept me busy was the "Westernization" of Academia Sinica. People come and go, and I help with various cooperation projects. At that time, the President of Academia Sinica was Mr. Wang Xueting (Shijie). After Mr. Wang's death, he was an academician and had administrative experience, so he was elected president. My relationship with Mr. Wang is not only the relationship between researcher and dean, but also helps him to do many international academic exchange activities, which wastes a lot of time and makes me learn a lot.
Mr. Wang is a great scholar and expert in international law. Founded Wuhan University around the age of 30 and became a first-class university. Later, he worked in the Kuomintang government and served as foreign minister.
During this period, I met my wife, who is my student. In the third year after her graduation, we started dating and got married soon. About 1980, he was elected as an academician of academia sinica. It's too long to remember. Around this time, Li Ao attacked me. Li Ao is a very conceited student at NTU, and his teacher, Mr. Yao Congwu, indulges him. He was a graduate student when I was the dean. Li Ao is clever, but he doesn't obey the rules, and I didn't pretend to be polite to him.
The first serious conflict between Li Ao and me was that he wrote an article on the satellite, saying that the old man didn't hand in the "stick" and said something involving my teacher, which was completely fabricated by him. After that, he took Boss Xiao and Mr. Satellite to my place, and I corrected him. I told him, "We have nothing else to learn about history, but the basic rule is not to make up stories." So we fell out. Later, I was very angry and said to him, "Get out of here." Meng Xiao can go with him. Since then, he has been attacking me, and I have never responded.
I have never seen him since.
1970, I came to the University of Pittsburgh. I should be a visiting professor. Later, a senior teacher told me, "Don't come back." In this way, I stayed at the University of Pittsburgh and didn't go back.
