Character experience

Nankai women's middle school

Wei Junyi received a good education since childhood. His father Wei Zhongheng studied in Japan in his early years, specializing in railway. He was one of a group of young people under Sun Yat Sen. he published articles and engaged in democratic revolutionary activities. After returning to China in 1913, he taught in Beijing Railway Management School (the predecessor of today's Northern Jiaotong University). Later, he worked in the Ministry of communications and appointed Changchun as the director of the railway. He took part in the construction of two railways, namely, Jilin Changchun line and Jitun line. When Wei Junyi finished his second grade at his uncle's home in Beijing, he went to Changchun and entered the third grade of the local railway children's primary school. Wei Zhongheng, director of the Railway Bureau, attached great importance to the education of railway children. He set up a rotary primary school and a vocational middle school near Changchun railway station, and invited teachers from Beijing and other places to teach for students. Her mother, Si yunfen, is the daughter of Ju Ren in Shashi, Hubei Province. She studied in a private school for nine years before marriage. Before Jun Yi and her sister Lian went to school, she asked them to recite such classical poems as Pipa Xing, Afang Gong Fu and the old and new Three Character Classic. This is not a conservative family. It attaches great importance to the education of its children. The family also invited tutors to teach English, ancient Chinese and other courses for them, and read "four books", "Five Classics" and other ancient books. Every other time, their parents also lead them to buy books in bookstores to increase their knowledge and cultivate their interest in learning. In the fifth grade of primary school, in order to improve her academic level, her parents sent her and Lian back to Beiping together. After examination, Wei Junyi was promoted to the sixth grade of Beijing Experimental Primary School (the predecessor of today's primary school attached to normal university). Wei Zhongheng left his post in 1928 and soon settled down in the French concession in Tianjin. Junyi and Lianyi also went from Beijing to Tianjin and were admitted to Nankai girls' middle school. His father also had more time to educate them in person, especially his eldest daughter, who paid close attention to her development and appreciated her talent. Later, I talked with people that her daughter's pen has the style of Lao Can's travels.

The six years of study in Tianjin Nankai women's middle school has benefited Wei Junyi a lot in her whole life, laying a good foundation for her life ideal of hard work, hating the old system and looking forward to the truth, the good and the beautiful. Wei Junyi once wrote: "in Nankai, I passed the most important stage of my life from a child to a sensible youth. Nankai not only taught me Chinese, mathematics, physics and chemistry, history and geography, but also opened my eyes. " "Nankai New Drama Troupe" rehearsed Ibsen's play "Nala" on a school day shortly after her entrance to college, starring Wan Jiabao (Cao Yu) from the University Department, which made her contact with foreign famous dramas for the first time in her life, showing a new world in front of a girl under 11 years old and breathing the breath of the times. "At that time, he was a university student, but I was a freshman. Of course, he didn't know me, but my audience was very impressed by the play. So far, Nora, dressed in dark at the end of the curtain, stands in the middle of the stage and says: 'I turned out to be a doll! "Jue Jue's appearance of leaving is still in my mind. "In memory of Nankai

Zhang Boling, the president of Nankai University, took education reform as her duty. She sent teachers to the United States and the Soviet Union to study, and came back to reform teaching and set up new courses. After the September 18th Incident, Northeast China was occupied, and the national crisis had come to every Chinese. Although the headmaster did not agree with the Communist Party, he was patriotic and very dissatisfied with the surrender of Japan, so he often instilled Anti Japanese ideas into his students. Every year, the school holds commemorative activities of "May 7th", "May 9th", "May 3rd" and "May 30th". At the school sports meeting, the words "don't forget national humiliation" and "don't forget Northeast China" are formed. On the doors of all classrooms, couplets are pasted with the words "don't be discouraged, don't follow, how difficult it is to prosper the country", "be calm, be determined, and lose ground". The courses such as the history of China in the past 100 years, the geography of Northeast China and the modern history of the west, as well as the activities of "social observation" to visit factories, courts and prisons outside the school, have had a positive impact on the cultivation of students' patriotism and democratic thought. Wei Junyi is a sensitive and thoughtful girl. These activities inside and outside the school have aroused her concern about the future of the nation and the social reality. In her little work "young scholars' indignation" (1931), she wrote: "I carry a book with me for half a year. I read it every day, and I hate it every night. What do I want from you in the end?"

Study experience

In the first year of high school, a radical Chinese teacher introduced contemporary left-wing literature to these "girls in the classroom". During this period, Wei Junyi read a lot of writers' works and Soviet Russian literary works in the 1930s, and subscribed to Literature Monthly, Beidou, modern times, literature and other literary journals. The "warm air" of left-wing writers in Shanghai makes her "simply fascinated". The Chinese language teacher also proposed to the students that "young women should have a look at Zhang qiuliu and sun Wuyang to understand how they live. --Of course, it doesn't have to be that romantic. " Wei Junyi later said that it was from here that she "broke through Hongmeng" to see another world. The revolutionary and progressive literary works made middle school student Wei Junyi yearn for and pursue the new social ideal, and also had a subtle influence on her future literary creation.

In high school, there were incidents of removing progressive teachers and expelling progressive students. Although she was not at the center of the movement, she was inclined to be expelled teachers and students, which made Wei Junyi, a middle school student, see the struggle taking place around her.

Wei Junyi, who is in the prelude of China's great change, is sensitive to the pace of the times. At the same time, he is just a good student who knows how to work hard. Her Chinese and composition lessons are especially excellent, and she has been praised by teachers and schools for many times. In her senior year, she had a strong interest in literary research. A senior high school student of Chinese literature talks about the history of Chinese poetry as a clue, running through famous works, from the book of songs, songs of Chu, ancient poetry, Yuefu of Han and Wei dynasties, to Tang poetry, Song poetry and Yuanqu. He also introduces works such as Romance of the West Chamber, Peony Pavilion and peach blossom fan, and guides her to read relevant literature and research works. Wei Junyi was fascinated by these splendid ancient Chinese cultural classics. So going to bookstores and choosing reference books became her indispensable spiritual needs for a period of time. The Booksellers in Liulichang, Beijing, looked at the young girl student with astonishing eyes, with the look of serious purchase. How did they know that this girl was dreaming of becoming a scholar at that time. Close to high school graduation, she had voluntarily handed in a thesis entitled "on Tao Yuanming" to her teacher.

Wei Junyi also sucks the nutrition of culture and spirit from his family's book collection. In addition to such classical works as a dream of Red Mansions and the romance of the Three Kingdoms, she has seen many popular works, and can still remember a large number of them until the 1990s. "Rebirth fate" is a long Tanci that her mother often read and recommended to her. She studied it in primary school, but she was still fascinated by it after middle school and read it more than once. "This woman's work about 200 years ago made me realize that I am a woman at the age of 16, and I have a hard road to go in the future." Coincidentally, a few decades later, Chen Yinke, a former professor in the Chinese Department of Tsinghua University, and Guo Moruo, President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, both of them devoted a lot of enthusiasm to this book and its author. It seems that Wei Junyi at this time is more from the reading in and out of class feeling life, thinking about life.

Wei Junyi is an introverted, sensitive and thoughtful student. She doesn't seem to want to be a writer, but she knows how to use her pen to "express her feelings" and "ask for help" for herself and others. As she was graduating from high school, she experienced the first painful experience of her life. In a middle school graduation examination temporarily organized by Hebei Provincial Department of education, her chemistry class failed because of one point difference. In Tianjin, Ta Kung Pao published the list of students who were not as good as GE Sheng in one or two subjects, and students who were not as good as GE Sheng in three subjects for two consecutive days. Wei Zhenyi's name stands out in the third place of a failed subject. The brackets below are (Nankai, female, chemistry). Although it is officially stated that "all the above students will be issued a certificate of enrollment and will be allowed to take the next HKCEE", for a girl with self-esteem and self-improvement, it is just like a fall from the sky
