Chapter 451: Psychologist
Hu Weidong presided over a series of policies that enabled China, with a weak foundation, to rapidly train a large number of engineers and senior technicians who may not be excellent, but at least qualified, and effectively promoted the further industrialization of New China, but the excessive study pressure also made students generally overwhelmed and complained, and there were even more crooked songs such as "Carry the explosive bag, I want to blow up the school" than at the turn of the century in history
But even so, Hu Weidong still did not doubt his approach, "Just like our generation, their generation also has to make sacrifices for the motherland. ”
Having said that, Hu Weidong didn't want to often hear the news that middle school students and even college students couldn't stand the pressure of studying and looked for short-sightedness, so he specially invited Huang Yi, a psychologist in the only real sense in China, who wrote "Educational Psychology", "Child Psychology", "Adolescent Psychology Research" and many other important psychological works, which played a great role in helping the vast number of teachers who generally did not know what psychology was in China at that time
In addition to these writings, Huang Yi also served as a psychologist for Taizu and other central leaders, and through the leading demonstrations of these leaders, the Chinese people realized the value of psychology decades in advance and clarified various misunderstandings about psychology to varying degrees.
Huang Yi not only changed the fate of psychology in China, but also changed his own fate, the man who graduated from Tsinghua University and went to Stanford University and Yale University to further his studies and obtained a Doctor of Philosophy (a special title in the United States). It does not mean a doctorate in the Department of Philosophy, but it should be understood as an enhanced version of a doctorate, and those who can get it are super great. The pioneer of Chinese psychology gave up the good scientific research conditions and generous material treatment abroad and resolutely returned to China, but soon caught up with the Japanese invasion of China, and had to retreat to the southwest with the university, and the tragedy of his life began
Due to the strength of the war and the increasing corruption of the national government, which was forced to print more money to make up for the fiscal deficit, inflation reached appalling levels, and the people in the Kuomintang were generally miserable. Even university professors like Huang Yi have not been spared. And although the salary of university professors on the books during the Republic of China was not low. But underpayment is commonplace (Note 1), and psychology is still neglected and misunderstood even in 21st-century China, let alone during the Republican period, so it is only natural that salaries are the most deducted. As a result, this outstanding returnee did not even wait for the dawn of victory in the Anti-Japanese War. He died of hunger and disease in the rear because of poverty. The flame of Chinese psychology was extinguished, and in history, even until the seventies of the twentieth century, China's research on psychology did not reach the level of Huang Yi's time. The magnitude of the losses can be imagined
Due to the unknown nationality of Huang Yi's later generations, even if Hu Weidong is a traverser, he still has little understanding of this pioneer of Chinese psychology, and after capturing Huang Yi at the beginning, he was only surprised that there were psychologists in China during the Republic of China, and thought that psychology might be useful for political propaganda work, so he was not let go, but objectively it was this "captive" experience that completely changed Huang Yi's life.
Even so, even though Huang Yi did help the political work of the Red Party to a certain extent, Hu Weidong still did not pay enough attention to it, let alone other leading cadres of the Red Party who had never heard of psychology before. At the beginning, everyone equated mental illness with "mental illness" and was generally reluctant to accept Huang Yi's treatment, but at this time, Huang Yi bravely proposed to treat Taizu's severe insomnia, which had been repeatedly ineffective, and successfully changed the views of at least some senior Red Party cadres on psychology
It may be due to an overactive mind, or it may be too stressed, Taizu doesn't know when (there must have been during the Anti-Japanese War, but no one knows when it was at the earliest.) began to suffer from frequent insomnia, and the symptoms became more and more severe, so the doctors in the base area had no solution, so that they had to rely on sleeping pills to sleep soundly. Historically, insomnia plagued Taizu in the second half of his life, and in the later stage of the Liberation War, it was even more serious to the extent that he couldn't sleep at all without sleeping pills (so Taizu couldn't wake him up unless there was a major situation when he slept, which was mentioned in many people's memoirs.) )
As we all know, long-term insomnia is a very painful thing, so even if the people around him don't believe in the so-called "psychological counseling", Taizu still decided to give it a try with the idea of "a dead horse as a live horse doctor". As a result, Taizu's illness is not as serious as it was after the Liberation War in history (this time and space Red Party has had frequent successes since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, and it is not at the same level as the huge pressure in the process of growing from weak to strong in history. Therefore, Huang Yi's psychological counseling has been a great success. With this highly convincing success story, and Taizu's gratitude for helping him promote it, Huang Yi's personal fate was completely changed, and psychology finally took root on Chinese soil ahead of schedule. At the same time, even though Taizu is as strong as steel, the severe insomnia in history will inevitably have many adverse effects on his mood, and now he can be cured without medicine, which will undoubtedly be of great help to him to deal with military affairs calmly and rationally in the future.
Although the central authorities did not allow the main force of the Central Plains Field Army to march into the northeast out of comprehensive considerations, the central authorities still often consulted Hu Weidong on the war situation in the northeast, especially after our army in the northeast entered April 1939, due to the rapid loss of air supremacy due to a large number of new Type 99 fighters (historical Type 1 fighters) by the Japanese army aviation, the Bac Ninh Railway, the most important way to transport materials from the Guannai to the northeast, was frequently bombed, which made the logistics supply of the million-strong army even tighter. There is no second person in the party who has a greater say in the party than Hu Weidong on such a jishu issue.
Note 1: Therefore, it is one-sided to say that the treatment of intellectuals is not as good as that of the Republic of China, at least after the founding of the People's Republic of China, I have never heard of any university professors starving to death, even in the most difficult years of the country, even if the salary in the numbers is high during the Republic of China period, there is really nothing to brag about (to be continued).
