Li Zhi's assertion made Sun Ziming have to say things that should not be made clear, and naturally he will not give her a good face. Fortunately, Li Zhi has three trump cards in her hands, and she is no longer the angry bag she was wronged before, under the coquettishness and befriendery of her third daughter, there was laughter and laughter at home in a few days.

The family happily lived a rare idyllic life in their hometown, and the third brother and Yang Guozhong were going to attend the 'founding ceremony' of Jingshi University, and they also accompanied them to have a good time in their hometown. In the blink of an eye, it was late August, and the three of Sun Ziming, who were having a lot of fun, were taken from their hometown to the office of the president of Jingshi University by a phone call from Principal Gao.

"Mr. Sun, should I wish you a happy wedding first, or should I wish you a happy son?"

Facing the ridicule of Principal Gao, Sun Tzu said with a calm face: "Principal, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, this is what Old Master Meng said." Didn't I forget about it when I was so happy? ”

Principal Gao also said that his personal life is this guy's personal business, and now that the school is about to start, he is too lazy to bother with this idleness. Besides, this guy is as good as a monkey, and he can still fall into people's hands?

"Alright, let's not talk about you. This is our 'Creation and Opening Ceremony' planning book, a few of you to take a look. ”

"Hey", this is a big deal, the three of them hurriedly flipped through it, and the more they looked at it, the more uncomfortable they became. If it weren't for Sun Ziming's teacher, the straight-tempered third brother, he would inevitably have a seizure on the spot. With so much money, he didn't even give him a chance to show his face, and he donated tens of billions of dollars in vain?

Sun Ziming also felt uncomfortable holding his breath in his heart, donated tens of billions of dollars of family property, and in the end he didn't even arrange a speech, did Principal Gao go too far?

Sun Ziming, who had been silent for a long time and had a not very good-looking face, finally took a long breath, handed the plan back to Principal Gao, and said in a deep voice: "Principal, I promised you before that I would only pay the money and not interfere in any of your work. Since this plan is your intention, I will listen to your arrangement. ”

Principal Gao, who was sitting on the sofa, took a sip of boiled water, looked carefully at Sun Ziming's slightly darkened face, and suddenly said in surprise: "Ziming, you are such a shrewd person, haven't you ever thought that I might have prepared two copies?" ”

Sun Ziming squeezed out an ugly smile and said in a sullen voice: "Headmaster, if you prepare such a thing, there will definitely be a reason for you." You are an expert, I am just a layman.

Yes, I am a man of fame and fortune, and it is really a bit difficult for me to accept it happily, but if I covet this fame and cause some kind of bad consequences to the university, it will go against my original intention of donating half of my family property. ”

'Papapa', Principal Gao put down his glass, slapped his face twice, and praised, "Yes, worthy of being the best student of our CUHK." I am so proud that during my service to CUHK, I have been able to produce graduates like you!

Ziming, this plan is unfair to you, even if it is put in Europe and the United States, there has never been such a precedent, but do you know one of the biggest problems of mainland education? ”

"Academic independence, freedom?"

"Yes!"

It is impossible for the people in the ivory tower not to eat the fireworks of the world, especially the people who manage this ivory tower. Principal Gao did prepare two slightly different planning books, but he didn't expect Sun Ziming's expression to be unexpected.

"Ziming, if Jingshi University wants to be unique in such an academic atmosphere and become a real university, it has to overkill."

Principal Gao explained, recalling his impression of the Republic of China University.

……

University scholars, advanced scholars, too!

Universities are institutions for the pure study of knowledge, and should not be regarded as places for the cultivation of qualifications or for the sale of knowledge. Scholars should have an interest in research, especially the personality of a scholar.

These are the words of Mr. Cai Yuanpei, an educator of the Republic of China, in his time, although the political situation was unstable, the government had enough respect for education.

During the Beiyang period, the martial arts were in power, and the leaders were like a marquee, you went up and down, the political situation was very unstable, and the people's livelihood was not guaranteed. However, the rulers basically do not control or interfere in education, ideology and culture, and Cai Yuanpei does not need to ask anyone for instructions on how to study.

In the Beiyang era, the government not only criticized education as the 'March 18 Massacre' that occurred in Beijing in 1926, which was originally a political protest launched by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but the government guards killed the petitioning students, and the politician Duan Qirui still rushed to the scene, knelt down in the face of the deceased, and then punished the murderer, and since then has been a vegetarian for life, expressing repentance.

To be fair, from 1928 to 1949, although China was often at war, the teaching environment of universities was often hit, and even a calm desk could not be placed, and the treatment of professors was not guaranteed. A famous professor like Wen Yiduo had to carve stamps to earn money in order to support his family, but the spirit of the university during this period was independent and upward.

It is precisely this spirit of independence and progress that has created a number of universities with extremely high academic standards in the Republic of China era, and a generation of real academic masters has emerged. Today, whether it is natural sciences or social and humanities sciences, the founders are almost all born in the Republic of China era.

"Got it? In the era of the Republic of China, so many masters could emerge, of course, there are reasons why modern education has just emerged in China, but more importantly, it is the spirit of academic independence and progress! What now? ”

Principal Gao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "At this ceremony, we only politely invited Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Education to attend, but Vice Premier Li and Minister Zhong of the Central Propaganda Department specially sent their secretaries from Beiping to send their speeches and said that they would like to ask me to correct them. If you were me, what do you think you should do? ”

Sun Ziming also smiled bitterly, I'm afraid the best way is to shut up himself, the donor, and honestly sit in the VIP seat and applaud!

If you want to maintain the academic independence of the new university, you need to distance yourself as much as possible from the government and avoid being influenced by them. If these leaders are allowed to speak on stage, what is the matter?

However, after all, the school is built on the ground of other people, and there will definitely be people who want it in the future, and if they don't give people face, what will the school do in the future? It's really intimate, it's far away, and only by letting yourself as a donor not give a speech, will people have nothing to say, and keep the dignity that has opened her mouth but was politely refused.

Having said that, the truth is also the truth, but the third brother is still uncomfortable in his heart, he also squeezed out a smile and reminded: "Principal Gao, if you don't let Ziming speak, what will the students and the outside world think?" ”

Principal Gao laughed and looked at Sun Ziming.

"If there is something, the disciple will do it! Headmaster, it was those words from a few years ago, the school is managed by you and the school committee, and I only have to pay for it, and I don't care about the rest. ”

After Sun Ziming finished speaking, Principal Gao stroked his palms and smiled, laughing so that Yang Guozhong and the third brother's faces turned a little dark. They are not fools, President Gao and Ziming fully understand what they meant: this university was built with Ziming's money, but this university is also a university that really belongs to professors and students, and his grandson is just a donor. Moreover, when the school can use his grandson, he still has to contribute, such as carrying a black pot for Principal Gao!
