Life
Zeng baosun was born in Beijing on March 9, 1893. He was born on the same day as Qu Yuan, so he was named Pingfang. He read Mencius' chapter of nourishing qi and was named Haoru. His father, Zeng Chongbo (Guangjun), was a Jinshi in the 15th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu (there were two Jinshi in the Zeng family, and the other was Zeng Guofan). He was a man with the consciousness of reform. He gave Zeng baosun great help three times in his life. First, she was not allowed to bind her feet; second, she was not engaged when she was young; third, he allowed her to go to Christianity and study abroad. His grandfather, Zeng Jihong, was the second son of Zeng Guofan. He was proficient in arithmetic, but he failed repeatedly. He died of depression at the age of 33. Zeng baosun was taught by his grandmother Guo's "Yifang old man" when he was a child. At the age of 4, he entered Fu Hou Tang family school. The students of Zengfu family school are different in age and degree. They have different classes and read different books. The scene of class is very lively: "there is a crow noise in the evening wind, and all the students take advantage of it. Zhao Qian Sun Li Zhou Wu Zheng, heaven and earth Xuan Huang universe Hong. After reading the miscellaneous characters, you can read the children's songs. There are more outstanding people in the seats. Read three lines a day. " Zeng baosun was a gifted man. He was very popular with his grandmother. He was also very naughty. He often took his younger brother to climb up the tree to read miscellaneous books in Fangji library. He had novels, astrology and other books. When he had dinner, he crept out quietly. Once found by the servant in charge of the library, he would go to report, and his grandmother would scold him. At the age of 14, he studied in Shanghai, successively entered Yan Mo and Wu Ben girls' schools, and was admitted to Hangzhou provincial female teacher. A year later, she joined a missionary school run by the Anglican Church, Feng's higher school for women. The headmaster is Ms. baluyi, an Englishman. Ms. Ba thought highly of Zeng baosun and regarded him as her most proud student. Under the influence of Ms. Ba, she was baptized and converted to Christianity. In 1912, Ms. baluyi returned home for a holiday and took Zeng baosun to study in Britain. The next year, she was admitted to Westfield College of London University to study science. After receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree in 1916, she transferred to Cambridge University to study biology. The next year, she returned to London University to study normal education. She set her ambition to pursue women's education as a lifelong career.
At the beginning of 1918, after returning to Changsha via Shanghai, Ms. baluyi, regardless of her age, went to China with Zeng baosun to set up a girls' school. After settling in Ms. Ba, she went back to Heye FuHouTang to visit her relatives. At the end of the lunar calendar, she returned to Changsha to organize a private Yifang girls' school. In memory of her grandmother's "tongue Yu's teaching", she took her Zhai name as the name of the school. She was the principal of the school. Her cousin once asked Nong to help manage the school affairs, and Ms. Ba Luyi taught English. For the first time, five students majored in English and mathematics and four students majored in preparatory courses. Later, it was renamed University Department. And mainly run middle schools, high schools, junior high schools, as well as primary schools. From 1918 to 1949, it lasted for more than 30 years. Due to the turbulence of the current situation, Yifang girls' school was closed three times and resumed three times. According to the Memoirs of Zeng baosun, there are 26 classes in junior high school and 19 classes in senior high school. It has trained more than 1000 students and is a well-known women's school in Hunan Province. During the period of running Yifang women's school, he also served as the principal of the first women's normal school in Hunan Province twice. The spring breeze turns into the rain, and the peaches and plums are in the court. Zeng baosun set up a women's school, which emphasized the cultivation of women's complete personality and advocated the honor system. Every student's bedroom door, room door and wardrobe were not locked; there was no cashier in the library, students registered to borrow and return books by themselves, and the administrators were only responsible for sorting out the books; there was no invigilator for the examination, students did not carry bags, and students did not talk to each other, so the examination room was in good order; there was a student autonomy committee to manage themselves. This series of measures enable students to receive a good education.
After the outbreak of the Anti Japanese War, Changsha was bombed by enemy planes. Zeng baosun and Zeng Yunong fled to Hong Kong. In 1942, they returned to their hometown to run a family school and teach Zeng's children. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, it was not easy to return to Changsha, take back the former Zeng Wenzheng ancestral hall Haoyuan, and restore Yifang girls' school. In 1947, Zeng baosun ran for the National Congress in Xiangxiang. Because of the movement of Zeng's clan, he finally defeated Zhang Mojun, who was appointed by the Kuomintang Central Committee. In 1949, she and Mr. Zeng Yunong went to Hong Kong. After leaving, she asked him to take the diaries and other important manuscripts of Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guoquan, Zeng Jize, Zeng Guangjun and others to Hong Kong in four iron boxes. In early 1951, Zeng baosun's sister and brother went to Taiwan again, and the diaries and manuscripts were transported to Taiwan. In 1971, Zeng's sister and brother were already old and decided to deposit these precious historical documents At the Palace Museum in Taipei. The manuscripts collected by Yeh's Library and other cultural relics Committee of Hunan Province have been kept intact. Both Zeng baosun and Zeng Yunong were unmarried all their lives. Yeonong once served as president of Donghai University in Taichung, and has been teaching in Taiwan University for a long time. After he went to Taiwan, Zeng baosun no longer directly engaged in education. Apart from preaching, he also took part in some political activities. He died in Taipei on July 27, 1978.
achievement
There were three people who had the greatest influence on Zeng baosun's life: her grandmother, her father and Mrs. baluyi, an Englishman. It was Ms. baluyi, an Englishman, the headmaster of Feng's girls' school, who finally promoted her career. Zeng baosun's friendship with President Ba began with her rebellious behavior. Because Zeng baosun was angry with many practices of the school, he set up a newspaper to talk about the injustice of the school. After reading it, President Ba Luyi not only didn't mean to be expelled or punished, but also had a conversation with Zeng baosun. From then on, they became good friends. In 1912, Ms. baluyi returned to China for a year's vacation. She appreciated Zeng baosun's knowledge and character very much and decided to take her to the UK for further study. She wrote to ask Zeng baosun's father and grandmother for advice. Her father fully agreed, but her grandmother asked to bring her granddaughter back with her when Ba Shi (as Zeng baosun called her) returned home.
In early April 1912, they set out from China. After arriving in the UK, in order to enter the University, she entered the famous black mountain high school for women in September 1912 to study English, and took biology and chemistry as elective courses. In the future, she planned to study medicine and save the country by science. In September 1913, she was admitted to Westfield College of London University with excellent results. At nishita college, she took science courses, including biology, chemistry and mathematics.
When Zeng baosun lived up to his teacher's high expectations and was admitted to Westfield College of London University, it was time for him to return. What should Zeng baosun do? Do you want to give up your studies and return home? Or did you not keep the promise to stay in England alone? But if she does not return to China to serve the church for another five years, she will lose her pension. After one night's painful choice, Ba Shi decided to stay in England to accompany Zeng baosun to finish his studies. Zeng baosun said, "didn't you sacrifice your pension for me?" The talented lady said, "God will arrange it."
In 1916, she received a Bachelor of science from the University of London with outstanding results. This was the first degree of science that Chinese women received, and she became the first Bachelor of science among Chinese women. This is the first time in China's thousands of years of history. After graduation, she continued her studies at Cambridge and Oxford. In order to run a school in the future, she studied normal education in London for another year in 1917, and raised funds in Britain with Pakistan teachers to plan to run a school back home. On October 30, 1917, they received donations from the president of Xitian college and people from all walks of life, and decided to return home with the fund.
Zeng baosun, who came back to China, decided to set up a new girls' school with BA Shi in Changsha, Hunan Province, which is different from the missionary girls' school run by foreigners and the girls' school run by Chinese people. Instead, he integrated the best things of China and the West and set up his own ideal school. In September 1918, Yifang school was officially opened for 32 years. Zeng baosun was the principal and teacher of English and biology. Ba Shi was an English teacher. Zeng baosun's younger brother, Zeng Yunong, was the dean and teacher
