Chapter 376 Education is a war in the ideological and spiritual realm! Disenchant Western education!
November 5, 1915.
Inside Guangdong University.
Li Qiwei received a warm welcome from teachers and students.
Colored flags were flying and the campus was buzzing with people.
Almost everyone in the school was gathered together.
As the founder of Guangdong University, Li Qiwei is a god-like existence here.
His portrait hangs in the school's history museum and is remembered by all students.
Now, all the teachers and students opened their eyes wide, wanting to see this legendary figure.
In the crowd, Sun Hai was surrounded by his friends, and everyone asked him various questions.
"Haizi, I heard that you were interviewed by Professor Li alone yesterday?"
"Tell us quickly, what did the boss say to you."
"I won't treat you specially. He has been admitted to the graduate school of Huangpu University of Technology."
A few people exclaimed.
That would be awesome if it were true.
The entrance exam for Huangpu Polytechnic graduate students is extremely difficult.
In the entire Guangdong University, only two people passed, which can be called a genius arena.
It is said that the first graduate school of Huangpu Institute of Technology recruited very few people.
Everyone who can enter is undoubtedly a true pride of heaven.
Even those who have studied in Europe and the United States and are doing postgraduate studies and PhD studies may not be able to compare.
Whampoa University of Technology is heading to the world's top universities.
Sun Hai smiled bitterly and said: "No, don't break me."
"I'm still very self-aware."
"I'm ready to work directly after graduation. Worked.”
“Huh?” Sun Hai’s friends couldn’t believe it.
With Sun Hai's conditions, he can continue his studies, and Principal Wang is so optimistic about him.
Faced with the confusion of his classmates, Sun Hai had firm eyes and a smile on his lips, appearing not to care.
Because under Li Qiwei’s guidance, he has found his own path.
At this moment, he looked forward gratefully, where the third young master was being welcomed by everyone.
Wang Jilie, president of Guangdong University, and Yu Tianchi, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education, stood on both sides of Li Qiwei.
Li Qiwei walked on the boulevard to the cheers of the crowd, raising his hands to signal to his classmates from time to time.
Today he will deliver a speech at Guangdong University, which is also Wang Jilie's strong request.
Originally Li Qiwei was ready to take a look and leave, but he couldn't stand up to Lao Wang's "reasonable argument."
"Qiwei, you gave such profound speeches when you went to Sakurako's place."
"It would be so sorry if you returned to your son Guangdong University and left nothing behind. Everybody.”
Yes, one sentence made Li Qiwei unable to hide, and he had to speak even if he didn't speak.
Looking at the eager eyes of his classmates, Li Qiwei was very moved.
In China and in Europe and the United States, Li Qiwei's feelings when facing the cheers of everyone are different.
Soon, the three of them arrived at Wang Jilie’s principal’s office.
The three of them have not seen each other for several years, so naturally they need to contact each other first.
And Li Qiwei also had many things to ask.
Yu Tianchi is 33 years old this year. The young man who was a little shy at the beginning has now become a senior official in charge of education.
And all of this is inseparable from Li Qiwei.
Li Qiwei's connections in Guangdong, even if he uses a part of them, will be enough to rise to the top of Tianchi.
Therefore, Yu Tianchi’s gratitude to Li Qiwei comes from the bottom of his heart.
"Principal, I finally see you today after seven years of separation."
Li Qiwei patted him on the shoulder and smiled:
"Tianchi, I didn't expect that you would be willing to stay. In Guangdong, instead of returning to my hometown."
Yu Tianchi said: "Guangzhou is not much better than Shanghai. I can accumulate a lot of experience here."
Li Qiwei nodded. Asked again:
"By the way, how is your uncle?"
Yu Tianchi knew that Li Qiwei was talking about his third uncle Yu Shimei.
"After my third uncle retired, he returned to his hometown in He County, Guangxi to take care of his old age."
"But his health is not very good, otherwise he would definitely come here this time."
Li Qiwei was so sad that Yu Shimei might not be able to hold on much longer.
Time is indeed the most ruthless.
However, Li Qiwei saw the shadow of Yu Shimei in Yu Tianchi.
Obviously, Yu Shimei passed on all his life-long experience as an official to Yu Tianchi.
With Yu Tianchi’s qualifications and political achievements, he could have taken a step further and become the director of the Department of Education.
But he was able to resist this desire and impulse, constantly tempering himself, and not rushing for success.
This is very valuable.
After all, a 33-year-old director of education is considered terrifying to someone who is not a child of aristocratic families.
The trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
The rapid development of Guangdong University in recent years is also due to Tianchi.
The other party is someone who can implement Li Qiwei's ideas meticulously.
At this time, Wang Jilie said:
“Thanks to Tianchi’s strong support in these years.”
“Otherwise, Guangdong University would be like universities in other provinces and would often default on payments. .”
“Before Qiwei’s donation, only Capital University and Guangdong University were better in China.”
Li Qiwei was silent when he heard this.
Things are pretty good now.
After all, Lao Yuan is still here and can suppress those arrogant and powerful generals.
When he burps next year, then the real chaos will begin.
Li Qiwei donated money in advance, but afterward, he was really not sure.
However, he still wanted to encourage the two of them.
"Don't worry, no matter how the domestic situation changes, our education will always benefit the country and the people."
"No matter which faction wins, it will ultimately depend on us."
"I established This is the purpose of the Huaxia Science Society.”
“To bring together all the scientific and technological elites in the entire country and twist them into one.”
“Only in this way can we maintain a certain degree of independence. , seeking its own development in a complex external environment.”
Wang Jilie and Yu Tianchi saw that he was speaking so solemnly and asked quickly:
"Qiwei, did you get any inside information?"
Li Qiwei sighed softly:
< br>"This is what I analyzed myself."
"Just one sentence, Yuan will be in chaos if he goes!"
Wow!
Wang Jilie and Yu Tianchi’s eyes widened, feeling extremely incredible.
But soon, they calmed down.
Li Qiwei continued: "It's nothing. The Europeans analyze China more deeply than I do."
"This is actually not a secret."
"Okay, let's not talk about this topic. No matter what, it has little to do with us."
"If a new person comes in, he will not allocate more funds to the education department. We have to find a way ourselves. . ”
Both Wang and Yu looked bitter, this sentence sounded too tragic.
Li Qiwei looked at the two of them looking sad, changed the topic, and asked with a smile: "By the way, I heard that the Americans used our reparations to build a school."
"What is the specific situation."
Wang Jilie is the president of the university and is very familiar with this matter.
“Oh, you should be talking about Huaqing School.”
“It gradually developed after Qiwei left.”
“In 1909 At that time, the United States cooperated with the Qing government at that time to establish an American Travel Affairs Office, which was responsible for sending domestic students to study in the United States. ”
"At the same time, a Youmei Study Center was also established, which is roughly equivalent to a language training school."
"The expenses used are all from the Boxer Indemnity that the Americans received from us."< br>
“In 1911, the Qing government renamed the Youmei Study Hall as Huaqing Academy.”
“In 1912, Huaqing Academy was officially renamed as Huaqing School, and it is currently under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”
“There are currently foreign teachers teaching there, and the teaching materials and teaching methods also have a strong American style.”
"Attach importance to English training, strict teaching, frequent examinations, and high elimination rate."
"After graduation, students from Huaqing School can directly enter American universities for their sophomore and junior years."
>"So, many students who are interested in studying abroad are willing to go to Huaqing School to study."
"It is said that it has a certain influence in the north now."
"And I heard that Huaqing School is now preparing to become a full university.”
"It is estimated that undergraduate students will be admitted soon."
After Yu Tianchi heard this, although he also knew about this, he was still puzzled.
“Why are Americans so kind?”
“We don’t need the free money. Not only will it be returned to us, but we will also build a school for free.”
“Principal, yes It was not your visit to the United States that orchestrated this incident.”
Wang Jilie was also curious. If big-nosed people in Europe and the United States were so easy to talk to, things wouldn't be so miserable in China.
Li Qiwei shook his head.
“I can’t influence the U.S. government’s decision yet.”
“However, I can probably guess what the Americans think.”
“They want to use construction Universities with American style make Chinese students yearn for the United States.”
"And these students will definitely be China's elite in the future, and they will hold important positions in various fields."
"I wonder if one day, our country's government, industry, science and technology, education and other departments will all be like this students in high positions."
"So what will be the future of the country?"
In real history, James, the president of the University of Illinois, in the "Memo" to the President of the United States, He stated the true purpose of the United States’ refunding schools:
“We will now be able to use the most complete and ingenious way to control China’s development.”
"That is, using the method of intellectually and spiritually dominating their leaders."
Hiss!
After hearing this, Wang Jilie and Yu Tianchi couldn't help but take a breath of air.
They are engaged in education and know best the subtle effect of education on people.
Especially during college, it is a critical moment for young people to take shape.
Once someone with ulterior motives instills many ideas into them, it will be difficult to change them back in the future.
Yu Tianchi was surprised and said: "Does that mean we should report it to the superiors immediately and stop this matter?"
Li Qiwei flatly denied: "No, this is a conspiracy."
“If we object, we will annihilate China’s education, and the international education community will be wary of us.”
“Furthermore, I have an agreement with Professor Michelson of the United States, Both sides should strengthen academic exchanges.”
"So, we can't do this."
Wang Jilie said: "Qiwei is right."
"Guangdong University now has exchange students from the United States, Britain and other countries."< br>
“Education requires more communication to make progress.”
“Also, we have no evidence to prove that Huaqing School is an American conspiracy theory.”
"In the final analysis, as long as our own students strive for success and always think of the motherland."
"Then the Americans can only stare blankly, losing their wives and losing their troops."
"Poor children Seeing that the parents of rich children are so rich, few are willing to be other people's sons."
Li Qiwei smiled and said, "Haha, Brother Wang is right."
"The key is still. It’s about yourself.”
"This is the purpose of my establishment of Huangpu University of Technology."
"As long as our education in China can surpass that of the United States, then all plots will be self-defeating."
"If you study in Huangpu University in the future, Everyone is more interested in studying in Europe and America.”
“Then who cares about the advantages of Huaqing School?”
“And Americans’ education may not be much better than ours.”
“In the past few years, I have traveled to Western countries, and one of the biggest feelings I have gained is that we must not belittle ourselves.”
“Especially in the field of education, we are indeed far behind, but there is no essential gap.”
“Although Western primary education and higher education have sound systems, they are not as good at cultivating talents as imagined.”
“Our Guangdong University is not bad at all internationally. ”
“The reason why no other university is famous now”
"That's because the time is too short."
"Cambridge University has been established for hundreds of years. Such a profound accumulation cannot be surpassed overnight."
"Otherwise, , that is disrespect for science."
Wang Jilie and Yu Tianchi both nodded.
Subjectively, we must despise our opponents, but objectively we must value our opponents.
The two of them felt that without Li Qiwei, Huaqing School would definitely achieve its hidden purpose in the end.
After all, who can resist the temptation of the world's largest industrial power?
Although American science is only second-rate internationally.
But there are very few people in China who know it.
And what can I do if I know it? They are still second-rate at least, and they are not even first-rate in China.
But things are different now. China has the great god Li Qiwei.
He is like a magic needle that clears the fog for domestic educators.
No Western plot can escape his eyes.
The most important thing is that they have the confidence to compete with European and American education.
Huangpu Institute of Technology and Guangdong University are approaching that goal step by step.
If these two universities could produce their own Nobel laureates, they would really be able to gain a foothold.
But how long will it take for that day to arrive?
Next, Li Qiwei asked about the overall situation of education in China.
For example, how many graduates are there every year, what proportion are working in industry and technology fields, etc.
After listening to the various numbers shared by Wang Jilie, Li Qiwei showed an innocent smile on his face.
The birth of these young graduates will not cause any waves.
Far inferior to those influential figures and trendsetters.
But they are really slowly improving China's foundation.
Li Qiwei said angrily: "Old Wang, Tianchi, let's go."
"I will help our elite Chinese students disenchant Europe and the United States."
Wang Jilie laughed and said: "Haha, Qiwei, I knew you were prepared."
"You also complained to me that time was tight and you couldn't think of a topic for your speech."
Li Qiwei laughed loudly. .
But I am honest in my heart: Brother, I’m not going to lie to you, I really made it up.
