In accordance with the personnel system regulations of Peking University，2009，I am 63 years old，The school personnel office notified me that I have completed the retirement procedures，But still rehired，Class as usual。And because I was fortunate enough to receive the “National University Famous Teacher” Award from the Ministry of Education，There are only eight or nine "famous teachers" in the school，It is stipulated that doctoral students can continue to be recruited。But I don’t want to “crowd” the resources of the Chinese Department anymore，Re-employed for two years，I just want to quit completely，Let’s write something。What’s more, the department leaders at the time had no intention of retaining him。Unexpectedly, Shandong University “targeted” me at this time，Ask someone to inquire，Said that it plans to establish a "first-level professor of humanities and social sciences"，Ask me if you can consider applying。I remember that I participated in the review of the National Social Science Fund，Mr. Zeng Fanren, the former Party Secretary of Shandong University and Mr. Xu Xianming, the current president, asked me to meet，I am touched by their sincerity。July 2011，I went to Xuzhou for a meeting，I stopped by Jinan after the meeting。Dean Zheng Chun of the School of Liberal Arts of Shandong University warmly received me，Also arranged for me to give an academic lecture。After returning to Beijing，Let’s discuss it with my wife，I feel my body is okay，And Shandong University is a very good university，Just be quiet over there，It’s okay to work for a few more years，Decided to accept Shandong University’s invitation。Early September 2011，My wife and I came to Shandong University。
We plan to live in Jinan，I brought more than ten boxes of books with me。The school arranged for us to stay in the "Academician Building" of the South Campus。The house is newly renovated，Full furnishings。Office Director Shen Wen arranges our lives meticulously。The South Campus is the old dormitory area for Shandong University teachers。There is also the "Principal Building" built specifically for Mr. Cheng Fangwu here，Unfortunately he has never lived there，Changed to a club。Although it is an old community，Life is very convenient，You only have to cross the road to go to school on foot，More than ten minutes’ walk。

My home has not been settled yet，Only for undergraduates。It is about "Special Research on Modern Literary Writers"，It is an elective course。This is the first job I did for Shandong University。
Probably out of curiosity，Not too young，Also open classes for undergraduates，There are many students coming to attend the class，More than a hundred people。Soon，This becomes news，The local newspaper reported that Wen Rumin was hired by Shandong University，News for undergraduate students。Many media followed up with reports，One time，Academic circles are spreading this news。I was even named one of the “Top Ten Newsmakers” by Shandong University。
In retrospect，The incident itself is nothing worth reporting，The reason why it attracted some attention，First, the so-called "Dean of the Chinese Department of Peking University was hired by Shandong University" to attract attention，It’s not that I have any “ability”；Second, old professors may have fewer classes for undergraduates，This shows that Shandong University still attaches great importance to undergraduate education。
But I did take my classes more seriously，Also more lively。I usually don’t do crowd-pleaser，And require students to read the works first，Then raise some interesting and informative questions in class，Organize discussions on the spot。For example，Why does literary history speak highly of Guo Moruo，But general readers are not optimistic about it？Who is the protagonist of "Thunderstorm"？The plot of "Border Town" is very simple，What attracts people？etc.，Almost every class has a question，How to elicit reading and comments in discussions，Learn to observe literary phenomena。Teaching like this，Is conveying methodological knowledge，Teach a man bet365 online sports betting appto fish，Students find it interesting，So I am willing to read and write more works。
All undergraduate students at Shandong University are admitted with high scores，Relatively smart and studious，Also more practical，Works well with me，I also provide more careful guidance。Revise their essays，Write targeted comments for each article，Suggestions for further study。I have taken this class four times at Shandong University，"Wen Rumin Lectures on Famous Modern Literature" published by the Commercial Press，It is compiled and processed on the basis of lectures。
I also taught another course at Shandong University，It is "Intensive Reading of Literary Theory"，It was also taught at Peking University。Mainly a discussion class for doctoral students。The content is a selection of more than ten articles that are influential in the field of modern and contemporary literary research，A paper that is exemplary in terms of research angle and method，Added several doctoral dissertations that may have "typical" problems，Let students read and think first。Then division of labor，Each student is responsible for analyzing the pros and cons of one or two papers，Let’s discuss，My last call analysis。This course is offered to open up ideas，The so-called "seeing a thousand swords and knowing the weapon"，Learn the standards and variations of essay writing。This course has also been offered for three rounds，Students reported that this course is very practical，It is helpful for them to enter thesis writing。
I regard taking classes as my main job at Shandong University，Lectures from 2011，Telling until 2017。Remember the last class was in the evening，After class, my classmates gathered around me and took me back to the hotel, Scholar Building，It makes me reluctant to give up。

The second job at Shandong University is to supervise master’s and doctoral students。From 2012，By 2024，supervised 7 master students in total，7 doctoral students，There is also 1 postdoctoral fellow。By 2023，I think I am getting older，Inform the college of its decision not to enroll students，Now (2024) I still have two doctoral students who have not yet defended their defense。Master’s students are generally assigned tutors by the teaching and research office after they are recruited，For doctoral students, candidates must identify their supervisor before applying。Probably because my "famous" is relatively large，It is also said that it is strict，There are always very few candidates who apply for my exam every year。Most of the doctoral students I teach are transferred from other teachers。Most doctoral students do not have a very good academic foundation，But they all work harder，Relatively solid academic style，There will be significant progress within four or five years，Finally completed studies，Successfully defended。
I usually supervise doctoral students and do not take them to do my research，The main thing is to look at the strengths of doctoral students、Interests and Development Possibilities，Help them find a more suitable thesis topic。Their topics are varied，For example, studying translation during the May Fourth Period (Yin Hui)、Research on best-selling popular publications (Liu Qitao)、Study on the "National People's Congress Literature Research Class" in the 1950s (Yang Wei)、Study on "Chinese Methodological Knowledge" (Jin Tong)、Study Wang Yao’s literary history thought (Liu Shihao)、Study on the cover design of modern literary works (Hou Ying)，Study on the "Hu Feng School" writer Lu Ling (Sun Shiyuan)，etc.，Almost all receive little attention from academic circles，A topic with academic value。Their thesis writing went through a very difficult process，Some are simply “suffering”，Even giving up。I said writing a thesis itself is a very rare experience，May benefit for life，Encourage them to stick with it，Try your best。I will also help them change their articles。It is hard work to help students revise their articles，We should change according to their ideas，Consider making it acceptable to students，Improved again。Some people have to go through several drafts before making a decision，This is much harder than writing an article yourself。The doctoral students I supervised all took teaching positions in universities after graduation。

The third thing I did at Shandong University，is the application for the “Investigation and Research on ‘Literary bet365 live casino reviewino blackjackLife’ in Current Society” project，Helping the construction of the modern and contemporary literature discipline of Shandong University。When it comes to subject construction，A very important indicator is scientific research projects。I am somewhat resistant to the “project-based” academic ecology，Think that humanities and science are different，Cannot preset too many，It is not advisable to rely solely on quantitative management，We still allow scholars to freely display their individuality and creativity。I have served as a review member of the National Social Science Fund for many years，I still have some experience with the gains and losses of project management，But we don’t deny proper project research，Can drive the development of disciplines。So after arriving at Shandong University，I just thought of helping teachers in the teaching and research section (research institute) apply for projects。Just around 2012, the amount of money held by the National Social Science Fund increased，Start the application for so-called "major projects"。I thought that I might as well try to apply for a large-scale research project on "Literary Life"，Connecting modern and contemporary times。My motion was unanimously approved by the teaching and research office。We discussed a declaration plan，The title is "Investigation and Research on "Literary Life" in Current Society"。Soon，This major project was successfully passed。
Because it is just the beginning of the implementation of the "major project"，There are millions of dollars in funding，The approval process is very strict。Remember the "defense" time，Professor Ye Chengsheng and I went there，Seven or eight defense committee members，They are all famous figures in literary theory，I am familiar with them all，But you must also answer the questions seriously。What is the academic basis for the concept of "literary life" proposed by a committee member？In a hurry，I really can’t answer，Let’s just say this is just a practical idea，Hope to understand through the survey the literary reading of ordinary citizens and the presence of literature in their daily lives。Actually，We also gradually formed theories and concepts through subsequent investigation practices。Near miss but no danger，Our project was approved。At that time，There are still very few “major projects”，Shandong University was the only one to successfully apply in 2012，Our teachers in the teaching and research section are very excited。
After，We set the purpose of the project as: "Promoting literary life research，It is to advocate literary research to pay attention to people's livelihood - the consumption of literature in the lives of ordinary people，Make literary research more complete、Comprehensive，More energetic too。”We divided this major project into five sub-topics，Professors will lead some members of the teaching and research office (including those from Peking University) to investigate and research: He Zhongming presided over the "Survey on Literary Reading and Acceptance in Current Society"，Zhang Yiwu and Shao Yanjun hold "Survey on Internet Literature and Multimedia Literature"，Zheng Chun hosts "Empirical Research on Literary Production in Current Society"，Zhang Xuejun presided over "The Propagation of Literary Classics in Current Society、Acceptance and Impact Research》，Liu Fangzheng presides over "Research on Non-Mainstream Literary Ecology"。Ye Chengsheng, who directly participated in the project research、Cong Xinqiang、Xie Xiwen、Shi Jianguo、horse soldiers、国伟、Cheng Hongbin、Tang Xiguang、Wang Xiaoshu，etc.，More than 40 people。
By October 2015，This project is completed，Hold a seminar，Published the book "Investigation and Research on "Literary Life" in Current Society"。"People's Daily", "Guangming Daily" and other newspapers also publish news specifically，Have a greater impact in the academic world。
It is worth mentioning，Shandong University has also set up a "Literary Life Hall" (Xie Xiwen and Hou Ying are the hosts)，Provide schools with a place for literary reading and communication，Also regularly holds literature lectures for ordinary citizens。As soon as you enter the north gate of Shandong University，Just see "Literary Life Museum"，That brand was inscribed by me。

The fourth thing I did at Shandong University，It is to write Chinese teaching materials。I came to Shandong University in September 2011，October 2012，The Ministry of Education appointed me as the chief Bet365 gameseditor of compulsory education Chinese textbooks。Writing textbooks is more difficult than I thought，There are requirements in all aspects，Social attention is still very high，It often triggers heated discussions on the Internet，A lot of energy needs to be balanced、Coordination and “fire-fighting” work。I often go back to Beijing for meetings，Discuss and revise the manuscript。Chinese textbooks for compulsory education in 2016 have been compiled，I don’t want to do it anymore，Can’t stand the Ministry of Education’s repeated mobilizations，Then we have to compile high school Chinese textbooks。This has been done for 11 years。Until now (Spring 2024)，This work is not over yet。Shandong University and School of Liberal Arts，Always supportive of my work。Someday in 2018，Shandong University President Fan Liming even came to my office to see me。I reported on the preparation of the textbook，Said this is also a scientific research achievement of Shandong University。

Shandong University’s modern and contemporary literary research has a profound historical accumulation，Wen Yiduo、Lao She、Shen Congwen、Liang Shiqiu once taught at Shanda University (or its predecessor, National Qingdao University)，In the 1950s, Mr. Liu Panxi opened a new literature course，Also taught "Lu Xun Studies"，Those are the ones who pioneered the trend。Later, Sun Changxi、Kong Fanjin、Mr. Huang Wanhua and others，In modern literature、Have made significant contributions to Lu Xun research and overseas Chinese literature。Invite me to Shandong University，It was originally proposed by Huang Wanhua and Zheng Chun。
Professor Zheng Chun’s father is a Hakka from Meixian County, Guangdong，But I can’t speak Hakka。I always want to find some Hakka "factor" in his burly body，Very disappointed with the result。But I get along very well with him，He also gave me a lot of help，Including help in daily life。Study on his works of modern writers，Especially the investigation of the cultural background of international students，Professional results。Long-term teaching administrative job，There is some delay in his professionalism。I comforted him and said，Scholars do teaching and research management，Also a contribution，There should be a sense of accomplishment。
The person I interact with most is Professor Huang Wanhua，He and I both live in the South Campus。Late night，The community is quiet，Looking from my window，You can also see the lights in Teacher Huang’s room。He always studies so hard，Saying that he is a "model worker" in the College of Liberal Arts，Appropriately。Teacher Huang was an educated youth，Experienced suffering，Later worked as a teacher at Huaqiao University in Quanzhou。Maybe because of the hometown of overseas Chinese，He regards overseas Chinese literature research as his main business。He is very solid in knowledge，Rely on first-hand information as much as possible，I have been immersed in searching for historical materials for many years，Even go abroad to look for information at your own expense。Research on overseas Chinese literature，Professor Huang Wanhua has the most information，Also the most authoritative。Late 1980s，Teacher Huang has not yet come to Shandong University。A teacher from Shandong University went to the Shanghai Library to search for information，Some not found。The staff said to him，You can find Huang Wanhua，He has a lot of information。The teacher contacted Huang Wanhua，Get help。Later, the Modern and Contemporary Department of Shandong University decided to contact and transfer Huang Wanhua to Shandong University。After Professor Kong Fanjin retires，Huang Wanhua became the leader of the subject。
Professor Huang Wanhua has written many books，Including "History of Taiwan Literature", "History of Hong Kong Literature" and "History of Overseas Chinese Literature"，Later, "A Hundred Years of Overseas Chinese Literature History" was compiled and published。The time and space of overseas Chinese literature，There are naturally the impacts of various political changes，This is also the difficulty and special significance of the study of "Three Histories"。In this field，Professor Huang Wanhua is undoubtedly the leader in the country。I went to Shandong University not long ago，Teacher Huang is retiring，I once went to the principal，I hope that influential scholars like Professor Huang can postpone their retirement for a few years，Unfortunately bet365 online gamesit was not approved。Professor Huang himself doesn’t care，Continue to do his knowledge，A new book is published almost every one or two years。
Professor Du Zexun also gave me a lot of help。I met him relatively late，Summer 2015，I moved my family back to Beijing，There are still classes at Shandong University，Go to Jinan from Beijing for intensive classes every one or two weeks。Mr. Du served as the dean of the School of Liberal Arts in 2018。He hopes that I can be re-employed，And the remuneration is twice as high as before。I think I am getting older，Beijing here also needs to compile Chinese textbooks for primary and secondary schools for the Ministry of Education，I don’t have enough energy to take care of it，I declined，Agreed to be re-employed as "Part-time Chair Professor"，No more teaching，Only responsible for teaching doctoral students。Professor Du Zexun also respects my decision。He became the dean of the School of Liberal Arts，Implement some reform measures，Mainly to mobilize teachers’ initiative，Active academic atmosphere，Come to me for discussion sometimes，I support everything。I also recommended the famous scholar Mr. Gong Pengcheng to Shandong University。I published "Wen Rumin Talks about Reading" in the Commercial Press，Professor Du Zexun and office director Shen Wen also made a special trip to Beijing to attend the book launch conference，I am very moved。I remember we were still having a party at a hotel in Wangfujing，The conversation was very smooth。Teacher Du is a very powerful paleontologist。I am not familiar with his line of work，But I admire it。He has participated in the compilation of large-scale ancient books such as the "Sikuquanshu Catalog Series" and "The Compilation Notes of the Twenty-Four Histories"，Has presided over the compilation of ancient books such as "General Catalog of Qing People's Writings", "Qing History·Classical Records", "Five Classics of Justice"。Recently, he is presiding over the comprehensive research on the archives of "Yongle Dadian"，These are academic projects of immeasurable merit。Professor Du Zexun is really the kind of happy scholar who regards academics as his career！His scientific research tasks are so heavy，He can also serve as the dean of the School of Liberal Arts，Double shoulder carry，It’s not easy。
Many teachers from the School of Liberal Arts of Shandong University left a deep impression on me。Mr. Zeng Fanren served as President and Party Secretary of Shandong University，He was also assigned by the Ministry of Education to supervise work at Peking University，We all participated in the review of the National Social Science Fund again，We are very familiar with each other。I come to Shandong University，Obviously he also supports it。After Mr. Zeng retired from the position of principal，Dedicate yourself fully to the research of "ecological aesthetics"，Now Shandong University has become a bright spot in the national literary, artistic and aesthetic circles in this field。Teacher Zeng and I don’t see each other often，That is, I saw it at some academic activities，Can chat a few words。He is very concerned about my work and life at Shandong University。When I said I decided not to renew my appointment，He seems a little sentimental，Said Shanda cannot retain people！
Zhang Xuejun、Liu Fangzheng、He Zhongming、Ye Chengsheng、Cong Xinqiang、horse soldiers、Shi Jianguo、国伟、Cheng Hongbin、Xie Xiwen、Shen Wen，There are also those who are not in the same teaching and research department, etc.，Each has its own academic expertise and achievements，This academic community is very harmonious、United，There is no literati’s mutual disdain and the “mutual entanglement” phenomenon common in some units，No arrogant temper。Sometimes we will find a place to have dinner together，Mainly talking。Shandong people are very polite，How to arrange seats，How to toast，Everyone is particular about it。I didn’t understand “three rounds of drinking” when I first went there，A toast at the beginning，Also made a joke。In this "big family"，I often feel warm。

I teach at Shandong University，If counted to the present day，Already 12 years。2011 to 2015，I live in Jinan，At the South Campus of Shandong University，Also 5 years。At that time, there were thirteen first-level professors appointed by Shandaquan University，There is Mr. Sheng Ning and me in the School of Liberal Arts。But most first-level professors do not live in Jinan，Only come to school when there Bet365 gamesare classes or activities。I moved here to live。Not many classes，Less socializing，It was a rare peaceful day。To this day, I still often think of the home life in Nanyuan，Reminds me of the vegetable stall on Minziqian Road，Reminiscent of the grove on Shanda University campus，Thinking of my office in Zhixin Building，Thinking of Scholar Building，Thinking of those scenes with teachers and classmates。
I’m very glad，In old age，I will still have this beautiful experience of Shandong University in my life。
