The picture shows Mr. Guan Dedong.
Last Spring Festival，I’m going to pay New Year’s greetings to Mr. Guan Dedong。Although Mr. is eighty-four years old，Still in good spirits，Steady gait，Looking so energetic。Who expected late spring in March，Mr. suddenly drove westward，Very sad。Today I look at the white clouds in the southern sky，Endless condolences，Respect arises spontaneously。
My admiration for Mr.，Started from Mr. Reading’s paper on Bianwen。Bianwen is a popular literary style that tells stories about Buddhist classics or ancient characters，Popular in the Tang Dynasty。1959，Principal Cheng Fangwu organized senior students in the Chinese Department to collectively compile "History of Chinese Literature"，I was placed in the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties literature group。The instructor of this group is Xiao Difei、Huang Gongzhu、Professor Guan Dedong and others。I read Mr. Guan’s paper，Still inspired by experts on Dunhuang studies outside the school。In an article, he praised the academic level of Mr. Guan’s Bianwen research paper。I borrowed "Dunhuang Bianwen Essays" from the Shandong University Library，Read carefully。I don’t know why，This book is no longer available in Shandong University Library，What you can see is the "Dunhuang Bianwen Essays" published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House in 1982，I think the content of the two bet365 online sports betting mobileis basically the same。Among the papers included in the latter, 13 were published before 1984，Mr. Guan alone accounts for 5 articles；One of the articles, "On "Bian Wen"", has nearly 60,000 words，It was originally published in issues 1-12 of "Juequn Weekly" in 1946，It can be called a masterpiece。What I was amazed at at the time was: It had only been two years since my husband graduated from college，He was 26 years old；Each argument in the article is supported by sufficient information，No empty words。I found out later，Mr.’s scholarly attitude and research methods are greatly influenced by “Pu Xue”，Mr. Liang Qichao particularly admires Liang Qichao’s academic proposition that “everything must be based on evidence to establish a right”。Review Mr.’s later articles and writings，It is not difficult to find that Mr. Wang’s rigorous academic attitude is consistent，Even where it is popular to talk empty words、In the age of clichés, we don’t follow the trend，Adhere to the academic spirit of seeking truth and truth。
1959，Mr. Guan opened a "Folk Literature" class for our grade。I can’t remember the specific content of this course，But there are two things that make me unforgettable，It makes us feel Mr.’s “normal” style。One is，Mr. took us to Jinan Grand View Garden Bookstore to listen to books。This is a teaching and tutoring activity that my husband personally went to the bookstore to arrange for us。Shandong University campus is located in the eastern suburbs of Jinan，More than ten miles away from the Grand View Garden，Inconvenient transportation，There is also a small dirt road with lots of bumps，Very difficult to walk。There were no buses to the city at that time，Sir, walk with us。Mr. Simple、Pingyi。Our grade transfer student，Many of them were already thirty years old at that time，And Mr. is not yet at bet365 slotsthe age of "no confusion"。Therefore，Students are very casual in front of the teacher，Treat me like a college buddy。After we arrive at the bookstore，Sir and classmates are sitting on the bench together。After listening to the book，After the gentleman respectfully expressed his gratitude to the artist，Walking back to school with classmates again。A rising scholar，He is such an ordinary person。The second is，Final Exam，Mr.’s amazing words。The exam is an oral test，The test questions are determined by students’ drawing of lots。There is a classmate，Don’t read notes or books during exam review，His idea is to just deal with it during the exam，Always get a passing grade。When it’s his turn to answer the question，He talks endlessly，Talk endlessly。The gentleman suddenly asked: "Do you understand based on your conscience?"?"He was confused，lowered his head in embarrassment，Admit not understanding。The teacher gave him a passing grade。The students were a little surprised after hearing this，I’m not surprised by this result，But the theory of "conscience" was criticized as "idealism" in that era，I’m worried that this inappropriate remark will cause trouble for my husband。Fortunately，Safe and safe。The students understood that the teacher was encouraging them to tell the truth，It is also a strict requirement for students。
Mr. is relatively introverted，Don’t talk much。There were many “movements” in that era，There are many gatherings，Mr. rarely speaks in small meetings of the conference。Even so，Mr. was not immune to hardships during the "Cultural Revolution"。Letter between Mr. and Soviet sinologists，In the letter, I responded to the other party’s inquiry regarding certain materials in ancient Chinese literature，So he was suspected of being a "Soviet revisionist agent"。This seems like bet365 live casino gamesa big joke today，At that time, it meant that Mr. was doomed。Mr. has gone through many hardships，Can still deal with it with a "normal" mentality。When someone mentioned this matter in a chat with my husband after the "Cultural Revolution"，Mr. shook his head，Smiling bitterly。
Actually，Mr. is also a sweetheart，Xingzhizhi，Great conversation。No matter from campus、Visitors from outside the school and abroad，The gentlemen welcomed me warmly，Academic questions raised by interviewees，Sir, tell me everything you know，Words are endless。I was in the 1980s，To explore the ideological theory of Chinese Zen Buddhism from an aesthetic perspective。When I came into contact with Zen scriptures，I feel that its diction is easy to understand but its meaning is difficult to understand，So I thought of Mr. Guan, the industry teacher。After Mr. graduated from the Department of Chinese Literature at Peking University in 1944，Served as a lecturer at Peking Buddhist College and Shanghai Buddhist College、Professor，1950s，Mr. also taught Sanskrit elective courses for senior students in the Chinese Department of Shandong University，He can read ancient Indian Buddhist classics，High attainments in Buddhism。I have a difficult problem，Go and ask the gentleman for advice。Mr. sometimes reveals the answer to a mystery in just a few words；Sometimes I quote from other sources，Explanation，Clear my doubts。Mr.’s guidance to me，Mostly done casually through chat，This can be said to be a purposeful chat。After the 1990s，The chats between my husband and me are often purposeless，It’s small talk。Mr. chat alone，I am sitting opposite Mr. and listening，Nodding yes from time to time。The gentleman’s chatting is very special: he speaks like the Manchu bannerman’s speaking art，Smooth tone，Implicit and euphemistic，Bet365 Casino loginSome humorous words from time to time；Mr. chatting too much，Very focused、Enthralled；Wide range of topics，He talked about everything，Sometimes we tell anecdotes about ancient literati，Sometimes I talk about the miscellaneous history of Song and Yuan operas，Confidence talk。Once，The gentleman suddenly mentioned aloud the book "Jin Ping Mei" from the Chinese Department，I was speechless for a moment，This is a unique phenomenon in Mr. chat。It turns out that there is a large illustrated ancient book "Jin Ping Mei" in the Chinese Department library，Has high academic research value，Keep it strictly in peacetime，Even young teachers in the Chinese Department are not allowed to borrow books at will，But it was lost after the rebel students took over the library during the catastrophe of the "Cultural Revolution"。Although the whereabouts of this book were found out after the "Cultural Revolution"，But it failed to be recovered。I heard it earlier，This book was purchased by Mr. Guan when he was purchasing ancient books for Shandong University Library，Selected from a certain library as if it were a treasure，How could he not be emotional for its loss! My husband once said to me: The "normal mind" mentioned in Zen Buddhism is true，It’s a return to nature，Yes, no worries，Freedom。I think，Sir, just say whatever you want when chatting，Speak wherever you want to say，Can chat for two hours without getting tired，This not only shows Mr.’s cultural feelings of being devoted to ancient art，It also shows that what Mr. Long yearns for and pursues is also a spiritual state of "freedom"。
Now，Mr. is gone，Left with his "normal" heart，And he left in my heart the image of an "ordinary" yet extraordinary scholar，It will never fade away。
