Crazy genius Qian Zhongshu
(the growth path of different customs)
1929, when Tsinghua University Foreign Languages Department enrolled students, a news broke out. A candidate who scored 15 in the math test and should have been returned was admitted as an exception. This candidate is Qian Zhongshu. He did badly in the math exam, but he was excellent in English and Chinese, and he got full marks in English. The head teacher was reluctant to leave and afraid to take it, so he reported it to the principal, Luo Jialun. After reading the examination paper, President Luo immediately decided: This is a wizard, and he is exceptional in admission. As soon as he entered Tsinghua, Qian Zhongshu began to set one record after another: the number of books read, the number of articles published, the number of test scores and the number of crazy talk ... He loved reading, so the collection of Tsinghua Library was full of "money criticism".
In Tsinghua, he is also famous for finding fault with professors and scholars. 1932, Zhou Zuoren, a famous professor in Peking University, published his monograph The Origin of New Literature in China. The book was very popular as soon as it was published. Qian Zhongshu, however, ignored Zhou's embarrassment, picked out many mistakes and sorted out the book.
Sima Changfeng said in China's New Literature History that he was one of the two "lunatics" in China's modern literature history. Qian Zhongshu is crazy, crazy in talent, crazy in Wang Yang, quite like an ancient Zhuang Sheng. His cousin once said that Qian Zhongshu was crazy when he was a teenager. He didn't want to praise others since he was a child. Instead, he criticized, satirized and teased many people. He is mean and witty, and his temper has never changed. Some of the people he criticized were his classmates and friends, some were his teachers and predecessors, such as Zhu Ziqing, Zhou Zuoren, Feng Youlan, Zhao Wanli and Wu Mi. When the university was about to graduate, Tsinghua asked him to continue his master's degree in western literature. He said: "No professor in Tsinghua is qualified to be a mentor of money!"
Qian Zhongshu has a famous saying: "Generally speaking, learning is something that two or three innocent people discuss and practice in the old house in the wild, and the outstanding learning in the market will become popular learning." It is precisely because he wants to avoid vulgarity and do real learning that he shows a completely different personality and behavior from others. He is recognized by Chinese and foreign journalists as one of the most difficult celebrities in contemporary China. Not only journalists, but also celebrities from all walks of life stay away from him. "People say I'm crazy and don't know what I really am", which is Qian Zhongshu's evaluation of himself.
