Ye Qisun did not answer Yang Zhen's extremely sincere words immediately, but suddenly fell silent. Everything in the Northeast now made him feel extremely shocked. He did not expect that under such difficult conditions, it was just a corner of the country.
There will be such a big movement in the Northeast.
Not to mention those large factories, the only two universities in the base area were enough to surprise him. Although the conditions and teaching staff of these two universities were still very simple, they were equipped with a large number of the latest scientific research instruments and teachers.
The living conditions for students are not only the best in Northeast China. They are also comparable to those of Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Especially when he learned that the young man in front of him still implemented the free compulsory nine-year compulsory education system under such difficult conditions, he admired him from the bottom of his heart. In addition, he currently has two major students in the Northeast.
The persuasion of his favorite disciples Xiong Dazhen and Yan Yuchang further strengthened his determination to stay in the Northeast.
Apart from being a student, I have no family and no job, so I don’t have any problems staying. Just other people? And if all the professors who came to the Northeast this time stay in the Northeast, what will happen to the students in Guan? You can’t sacrifice those in Guan for the sake of the Northeast.
The university's faculties of science and engineering have both been closed.
Although according to the current conditions provided by the Anti-Japanese War, staying in the Northeast can better utilize the abilities of these professors and allow them to truly apply what they have learned. They are not limited to teaching in the classroom.
, but cannot do any scientific research. If you want to take students to do some chemistry and physics experiments, you have to go through a lot of trouble.
After the July 7th Incident, several universities, currently composed of Southwest Associated University, Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Nankai University, moved from Peiping to Changsha and then to Kunming. Along the way, most of the scientific research, teaching equipment, and even teaching materials were lost, and less than 10% of them were transported to the rear.
Among the teachers, students and their families, some were kidnapped by bandits and defeated troops, some disappeared for unknown reasons, and some died in Japanese air raids. Now they can only undertake the most basic teaching work, and as for other things, they can only give up temporarily.
In addition, due to the tight war situation in the rear area, prices have skyrocketed. The affordable rice quota allocated by the Nationalist Government has long been far from meeting the needs. Lecturers and professors receive a national salary of 75%, but in the face of soaring prices, they have already been unable to make ends meet.
The students were half hungry and half fed all day long. Especially those students whose families were in enemy-occupied areas could not even prepare cotton-padded clothes for the winter.
In such a difficult situation, professors at Southwest Associated University not only have to teach, but also find ways to earn a little extra money to supplement their families and subsidize their students. These professors who are busy filling their stomachs cannot sit down at ease.
Research some topics in this major.
If the great-grandson of Zeng Wenzhenggong, a top student who graduated from MIT, and the dean of education and dean of the Department of Chemistry at Peking University were all reduced to having no shoes to wear. Before coming to the Northeast this time, the underground personnel of the Anti-Japanese League purchased a pair of cloth shoes before they could go on the road.
It shows how bad the environment is.
After arriving in Northeast China this time, accompanied by Xiong Dazhen, I visited several major arsenals, especially electronic factories that specialize in the production of various communication equipment such as walkie-talkies and radio stations, as well as a series of secret equipment such as electronic jammers and transistors.
Especially after visiting the newly established First Research and Design Institute, which had only two or three small birds, and was responsible for the research and development of aviation, electronics, optical equipment, power, etc., and the Northeast Military Region University of Technology, I decided to stay in the Northeast.
However, he declined the invitation from the commander-in-chief to serve as the president of the Military Polytechnic University. He only accepted the appointment as the director of the Department of Physics and the director of the Physics Institute of the First Research Institute. As the president of the Military Polytechnic University, he strongly recommended Wu Youxun who came with him.
Professor.
He and Professor Wu Youxun can now be said to be 100% committed to staying in the base area, but no one can guarantee that the other professors will stay in the base area. Many professors come here to find an opportunity for the future of their students, or because of other reasons
reasons for coming to Northeast China for inspection.
The reason why some people traveled thousands of miles to come to the Northeast is that, in addition to the above reasons, the most important reason is that the Anti-Legal Union has a special medicine to treat their wives’ tuberculosis. These people can not only continue to teach and educate
His work can also cure his wife's lung disease.
For example, the master couple in the Chinese architectural field, who are known as gentlemen in the beams and beauties in the woods, came to the Northeast because of his wife's lung disease. There are also Professor Zhou Peiyuan and Professor Wu Dayou from the Southwest Associated University, who came all the way to the Northeast for inspection.
Besides, it’s because of my wife’s illness.
Of course, Mr. Ye Qisun also knows that many of the professors who came to the Northeast came to the Northeast for the salary that the Northeast offered in U.S. dollars or in cash, which was twice the salary in Guanhai. The times are difficult, and in the rear area
With no food to eat, no clothing to cover their bodies, and an unsustainable life amid skyrocketing prices, these university professors and lecturers who were once famous for their high-level journalism have long since lost their grace.
Even for families with many children, they didn’t even have one meal to eat. Everything that could be pawned was almost all gone. Coming to the Northeast is not to become a traitor, but to serve for the Anti-Japanese War. Since the Anti-Japanese League can give high wages, it is also a good thing for the country.
, national service, what can’t we do? We can’t watch our children suffer from malnutrition and our families’ lives become increasingly difficult.
Professor Ye Qisun can't say anything to those who come with these ideas, as long as they don't go to the enemy-occupied areas to become traitors, and don't accept the Wang Puppet regime's invitation to pay dozens of times the salary in the rear area. The environment is so harsh, whether they are doing academics or research
, you must have a full meal first.
And after visiting the well-established teaching and research environment here, Professor Ye Qisun knew that these are expert professors who will achieve greater development and make greater contributions to the country if they stay here. But those in Guan Nei
What should students do? We can’t just leave liberal arts, law, or medical schools and let all students switch to liberal arts or medicine.
Judging from the difficulties faced by the experts, professors, and students who came to the Northeast this time, Professor Ye Qisun also knew that if the Southwest Associated University or any other university was moved to the Northeast as a whole, even if the Anti-Japanese Alliance could find a way to safely move them from the rear
Transporting it to the Northeast, but it can only be a big joke.
When professors and students from a country move from one part of the country to another, they have to sneak around and take detours through Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Singapore and Soviet Russia. Moreover, they have to hide their whereabouts along the way, and even be sneaky.
They dress up as businessmen, exiles, car drivers and other strange faces to avoid countless checkpoints on the road. Among all the countries in the world, I am afraid that this kind of weird thing happens only in China.
Those professors who were unable to go through such a torment due to their wives' health, and who were closely monitored by the Nationalist government as key figures, were able to come out thanks to Mei Yiqi, the president of Southwest Associated University, who found the chairman of the Chongqing Military Commission.
Specially approved, boarding the Anti-Japanese Alliance plane directly from Chongqing.
Of course, the chairman's smooth release is not without connection with several visits to personnel from the U.S. Embassy. At a time when the Nationalist Government is striving for U.S. aid, as long as the U.S. Embassy comes forward, China's top military commander will
No matter how reluctant you are, you can only agree.
Otherwise, he would rather shoot these professors or drive them all out of the country than let them go to the territory of the Communist Party. In his opinion, these people will only increase their temporary allies when they get there, but they will definitely have more allies in the future.
It's the opponent's strength, which is what he least wants to see.
Even so, three professors, Wu Dayou, Zhou Peiyuan, and Liang Sicheng, and their wives encountered many difficulties along the way, and were almost detained at Chongqing Airport. At that time, the Anti-League transport personnel and security personnel were even troubled, and they were almost detained.
There was no point in using gunfire with the airport security forces.
Although they managed to get on the plane in the end, all the books and clothes the three professors carried were detained at Chongqing Airport on the pretext of being prohibited items. Except for the clothes on their bodies, it can be said that these professors and their families
Coming to the Northeast with bare hands.
On the flight from Chongqing to Northeast China, if the personnel sent by the Anti-Japanese League and Yan'an had not taken good care of them and provided doctors and medicines on the plane early. Even the necessary first-aid medicines were taken away from several ladies,
It was even impossible to reach the Northeast at all. Especially Mrs. Wu Dayou, who was in the weakest health, and almost died of illness on the way. Faced with such difficulties from some quarters, Mr. Zhou Peiyuan, who has always been stubborn, burst into tears at the airport.
It was so difficult for several professors to come to the Northeast to treat their wives' lung disease. Not to mention the entire Southwest Associated University moved to the Northeast. Only after arriving in Harbin did Professor Ye Qisun know that compared with the experiences of several gentlemen,
The experiences of several professors at Northwest Associated University were even more serious.
Several professors who were planning to transfer to the Soviet Union via Lanzhou and Xinjiang, as well as more than 100 students who graduated from the School of Science and Engineering of Northwest Associated University, were detained in Lanzhou. Despite repeated negotiations by the Soviet Consulate and the school,
However, he has never been released and is still being held in Lanzhou Army Prison. There are also many students and teachers who crossed the blockade of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. Most of them were detained or even arrested and sentenced to prison.
Secret execution.
Such a large-scale mobilization of professors, lecturers, and students from Guanhai to Yan'an, or to the Northeast via other places, is not undetectable based on the degree of monitoring of these universities by the National Government. In many cases, the Central Government's sense of smell
It is still very sensitive. Faced with this situation, it would be really strange that the National Government does not take various interception measures.
In addition to the experiences of teachers and students of Northwest Associated University, teachers and professors from Wuhan University, Fudan University, Jiaotong University, Lanzhou University, Tongji University and other schools are having a very difficult time. In contrast, Southwest Associated University and Yunnan University,
Also, because Zhejiang University is located in Yunnan and Guizhou, it is relatively easy to travel close to Yunnan and Myanmar. The King of Yunnan did not know what benefits he received or what his motives were, but he also provided some help along the way.
In addition to some difficulties encountered by people leaving Chongqing due to health or family reasons, most people walked relatively easily. Most people left the country directly from Yunnan and were picked up by cars. They went directly to the Myanmar port and took a bus
Soviet or American ships arrive in Vladivostok.
Xiamen University in Fujian is better, but it also encountered a lot of hardships along the way. On the contrary, people from missionary universities who came from occupied areas, and from Guangdong University near Hong Kong such as Sun Yat-sen University near Hong Kong, or some places
It is relatively easy for people who go to junior college.
However, in many schools that moved to Kuomintang-controlled areas, especially to the northwest and Sichuan, not a single professor or even student could move smoothly. They were detained and investigated along the way. Under such circumstances,
, who dares to say that these universities should be moved to the Northeast? At present, moving the universities in Guanhai to the Northeast is nothing more than a dream.
