Chapter 37 Most of the History Department
Liu Hongmin was making money while writing in Xiangjiang. He had no idea that the History Department at Peking University was already causing a lot of noise.
"Tao, what does it mean that your student published this paper?"
Professor Tao pretended to be innocent and said: "It's just a normal academic paper. Is there any problem?"< br>
“What’s the problem?”
The world history professors were filled with indignation and slapped the paper on Professor Tao’s desk, “He said in it that Alexander’s Eastern Expedition did not exist. It’s ridiculous to say something like this.”
“There are so many cultural relics that prove the existence of ancient Rome, but I think he has ulterior motives!”
"There is also Plough, which is an ancient Roman name, but it is actually written as Iran. How can you let him publish it with such arrogance?"
Professor Tao asked with a smile: " You should have read the arguments in the paper, right?”
The professors of world history looked at each other and did not answer.
Professor Tao didn't care either, because they didn't dare to answer this question. The arguments Liu Hongmin wrote above are quite reliable and are enough to prove the arguments of these papers.
Moreover, Liu Hongmin's paper is called "Evidencing the History of Central and Western Asia through Chinese Historical Records", but he added a subtitle "Some Historical Speculations Derived from Coincidences".
What he is afraid of is that these guys who are engaged in world history will come to cause trouble. They have already said that it is just speculation. If they come to cause trouble again, it will be a bit intolerable. As a result, I didn't expect that these people would be so sensitive and directly come to cause trouble in a big way.
It seems that Liu Hongmin was right. This paper hurt these people, subverted their academic achievements, and even caused them to suffer losses in their interests.
There is a saying that goes well: Moving money is like killing parents. If their interests are damaged, these people will definitely jump out.
The loss of profits comes from the shaken academic status. If what Liu Hongmin said in his paper is true, then the history of Central and Western Asia will be rewritten, and Alexander's Eastern Expedition will also be removed from history.
Such a huge change will invalidate many people’s papers. That period of history is gone, so papers written based on that period of history are naturally useless.
More importantly, their academic status will be shaken and their jobs may be lost. A student can find out that this history is false, but you professors can't? What experts and professors are you? Why teach and educate people?
How could they not be afraid in this situation? How can you not be hysterical?
“This is all nonsense. Is this how you teach students?”
"An outstanding student, is he writing history as a novel?"
"Let's go! Let's go find the principal. In this case, the student should be expelled."
Professor Tao knocked Knocking on the table, he said in a deep voice: "You are all experts and professors, and you are making personal attacks just for a paper. Do you still think it was a few years ago? If you are capable, just publish a paper to refute it. If you are not capable, don't come to me to call me. . ”
Academic matters should be solved using academic methods. Even if it can't be solved, it can only be said that the skills are not as good as the people. But to use political means to get people involved is to be deceitful, and you will lose both the battle and the people.
"Okay, Mr. Tao, wait and see how we refute him. When the time comes, don't say that we are bullying the small."
"We are here at any time! Walk slowly. , I won’t give it away!”
The History Department of Peking University is mainly divided into three majors, ancient Chinese history, modern Chinese history and world history. Ancient Chinese history is now divided into two schools, the antiquity school and the textual research school. The Suspicion School occupies most of the country. Liu Hongmin’s last paper showed that he is a textual criticism school, so the professors of the Suspicion School do not like him.
This paper is even more cruel and directly offends the entire world history profession. It can be said that most of the professors in the History Department of Peking University are unhappy with Liu Hongmin.
Although wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, but being able to stir up such a big mess proves that Liu Hongmin is not a peaceful owner.
After those world history professors returned home, they immediately looked through the materials and tried to defeat Liu Hongmin academically. The person with bad character immediately began to punish Liu Hongmin.
Someone found the professors of the ancient Chinese history school and wanted to let them work. Liu Hongmin failed the final exam.
As a student, you actually went to Xiangjiang to film a TV series without doing your job. Let’s see what you can do.
Someone also found the school management. Liu Hongmin is already an activist and will be able to join D in just over a year. As long as Liu Hongmin is blocked, he will not be able to enter D.
There are also those who hint at the fate of students and directly write commentaries and publish them in campus magazines and newspapers. Some refute Liu Hongmin's views and some are direct personal attacks.
The on-campus publications of Peking University are not only "Weiming Lake", "Weiming Lake" is only a magazine of the Chinese Department. Other departments also have their own magazines and newspapers, and even Peking University has a campus newspaper, but it is not as famous as "Weiming Lake".
These newspapers and magazines are not like Weiming Lake, which will strictly review the published articles. Those critical articles soon flooded the entire Peking University campus, causing discussions among students who didn't know the truth.
Seeing this, Zha Jianying immediately summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures.
"It's too much. How could they do this? Academic matters should be settled academically. Why do you want to attack them personally? Isn't it allowed to express your own opinions?"
Chen Jiangong: "When Hongmin first wrote the paper, he said that it would offend many people. I didn't expect that it would offend so many people? Such a massive public opinion cannot be guided by one or two people."
"We must do it. We cannot let them slander Liu Hongmin." Wang Xiaoping said: "Liu Hongmin is half Chinese. We cannot watch him be slandered. We must ensure his right to express opinions."
Ge Chaoguang gestured Everyone calm down first, "Old Zou, you go get a historical journal first, I will take it back and verify it with my classmates. Then write an article signed by all the students majoring in classical literature and publish it on Weiming Lake. In this way, It can let many deceived students know the truth, and also divert the attention of those people."
Hearing his mature and prudent opinions, everyone nodded.
Zha Jianying immediately said: "We don't understand professional matters, but we can also write commentaries and publish them in the school newspaper to attract the firepower of those people."
"Count me in One!" Wang Xiaoping said immediately.
“There are still us!”
A number of students from the Chinese Department expressed their opinions one after another. They have more or less favored Liu Hongmin. When Liu Hongmin was in trouble, they naturally had to step forward.
The next day, the article by the Chinese Department students was published in the school newspaper. Although some scholars were angry, it did make many students who did not know the truth return to a neutral position.
With the release of the textual research article by all the students majoring in classical literature, it immediately caused an uproar.
