The next day, Cheng Nuo settled the brother and sister at the inn, bought two steamed buns on the way, ate them while walking, and came to Peking University early.

Standing in front of the Red Mansion of Peking University, Cheng Nuo felt a lot of emotion, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to enter together and participate in the major changes in history.

Today is not only the inaugural speech of Mr. Cai Yuanpei, but also the opening ceremony of Peking University, in addition to the teachers and students of their own school, dignitaries, celebrities, newspapers and reporters have also flocked in, all want to see how the first education chief of the Republic of China will govern this school.

Whether to fall into the quagmire together, or to shape the glory of the past, the world is full of curiosity.

"Yes, there will be time to work here in the future, not for a while." Cheng Nuo shook his head, comforted himself and prepared to enter the Red Mansion.

From the outside, it looked fine, but when I entered, I found that the hall was almost full, and there were only two places left in the last row of corridors.

Although the position is a little off, it is better than standing with the person behind you to listen to the meeting.

Cheng Nuo hurriedly trotted over, grabbed a seat and was about to sit down, but unexpectedly, a girl came from the front door and also fell in love with the same position.

With a "bang", the two of them hit their heads together.

didn't bother to rub his head, Cheng Nuo hurriedly apologized, but coincidentally, the words of the two people in the back were exactly the same.

"I'm sorry."

"You sit down first."

The two of them also realized, and after glancing at each other, they sneered.

In the end, Cheng Nuo got up and walked outside the seat: "Classmate, you sit first, I'll sit outside." ”

The girl was not a pedantic person, she blushed slightly and nodded, sat in with her satchel and whispered: "Thank you, I was in a hurry just now, and I didn't see that there were already people here, I'm sorry." ”

There is nothing right or wrong in this matter, Cheng Nuo shook his head after sitting down, and said with a smile: "It's not your fault, I want to see that it's Cai Gong's fault, who made him so popular and the position is so sought-after." ”

The girl was also amused by this, covered her mouth and sneered, and said softly: "The next time I meet Uncle Cai, I must tell him to let him give another speech and go to the playground, everyone is standing, so there is no need to grab a seat." ”

After listening to this, Cheng Nuo also felt that this girl was very interesting, and quietly looked at her before the ceremony began.

Goose egg face, willow eyebrows, delicate facial features, stretching and elegant, a typical image of an oriental beauty, at first glance, it looks like the king of the daughter country in the 86 version of Journey to the West came out.

Especially those eyes, there is a trend of "a smile that touches people's hearts, and the autumn waves turn to capture people's souls", and Cheng Nuo didn't dare to look directly when he talked to her.

But looking at this girl's school uniform, it is estimated that she is a college student.

After retracting his gaze, Cheng Nuo muttered a little, could it be that his memory went wrong, and there should be no female students at Peking University at this time.

It should have been after Mr. Cai began to reform Peking University, and the year after tomorrow, that is, in 1920, the first female student was enrolled, so this girl should be from the girls' school next door.

Cheeky, Cheng Nuo coughed and asked, "Hello classmates, I'm Cheng Nuo from Peking University, I don't know which school you are, it's nice to meet you!" ”

"North China Union Women's University." This girl is very shy, and her face turned red again as soon as she said two words: "My name is Wen Yin, and I am also very happy to meet you." ”

Seeing this, Cheng Nuo, who was originally preparing the next sentence, suddenly got stuck, didn't know what to say, scratched his head and said, "What, classmate Wen, if you need it at Peking University in the future, you can go to the mathematics door to find me." ”

After Wen Yin heard it, she nodded and didn't say anything more.

At this time, with a burst of warm applause, Mr. Cai, the protagonist of the Red Mansion of Peking University today, came slowly.

In a low, but very powerful voice, he gave a speech that is still deafening.

"Five years ago, when Mr. Yan Jidao (Yan Fu) was the principal of the school, Yu ...... Please tell you more about three things. ”

"A ...... with a purpose"

"The second is to temper the ...... of virtue"

"Three Respectful Teachers and Friends......"

"This is the only thing I have to say to you today, and the meeting will be long in the future, and we can discuss it at any time."

From the school-running policy, the school's shortcomings, to the warning to the students, the society, to the school spirit, and the future arrangement, Mr. Cai Yuanpei stated all the pain points, which directly detonated the atmosphere of the audience, and was full of hope for the future of Peking University.

When the speech was over, everyone stood up and applauded, and the applause could not be stopped for a long time.

Later generations have seen this kind of scene many times in film and television works, Cheng Nuo thought that he would no longer have a particularly deep feeling, but when he really entered the speech scene, he found that this idea was too naïve, driven by the atmosphere, he became one of the most excited and applauded people in the entire venue, and he didn't even know when the tears would stay.

Wen Yin next to her was careful and quietly handed over a handkerchief.

"Cheng Nuo, you can take it."

"Sorry for making you laugh." After taking the handkerchief, Cheng Nuo was a little embarrassed, quickly wiped it, and suddenly realized that it was dirty for others, so he should wash it and send it back.

Wen Yinlan was heartbroken, seeing this Cheng Nuo's appearance, she could probably guess his thoughts, so she took out another handkerchief from her shoulder bag and signaled that I still have one, keep it for you first.

Only then did Cheng Nuo breathe a sigh of relief, folded the handkerchief and put it in the bag he was carrying.

Mr. Cai did not leave after the speech, but stayed where he was to answer some reporters' questions.

"Hello Mr. Cai, I am Shao Jingqing from Beijing News Compilation Agency, as far as I know, after you took office at Peking University, not only did you not dismiss the old faculty members, but recruited many new professors, such as Liang Shuming from your school, who is only 24 years old this year, or a student who was not admitted to Peking University, was hired by you as a professor of literature, is it too radical? Will the coexistence of the old and the new schools affect teaching at the same time? ”

As soon as he said this, it caused a commotion among the people present, and it was difficult not to be suspicious of Peking University, which was able to become a university professor at the age of 24 without any academic qualifications, and was still one of the highest universities.

Cai Yuanpei obviously foresaw this scene, seemed calm, and patted his hands to appease everyone: "I always thought that talents are rare and cannot be blamed." So at Peking University, you don't ask about academic qualifications, you only look at knowledge. ”

"I am inclusive of all theories in accordance with the general practice of universities in various countries and the principle of freedom of thought. No matter what kind of school of thought, if it is reasonable and reasonable, it is not yet the fate of natural elimination, even if it is contrary to each other, let them develop freely. ”

"A hundred flowers bloom, a hundred schools of thought contend, this is what I expect from Peking University."
