Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

There are two rows of flower baskets at the entrance of New Asia College on Kweilin Street in Sham Shui Po. It had already opened its doors earlier.

If the theory is true, today is the official opening of New Asia Academy.

It finally has students…

Gao Yao is currently mainly engaged in two things: charity and supporting education.

Let's not talk about charity, let's just talk about education. Currently, the group of professors at New Asia College are the most famous and powerful that Gao Yao has attracted.

It can be described as a gathering of great scholars!

Gaoyao attaches far more importance to it than other schools.

In his eyes, New Asia Academy is like a sycamore tree. As long as it is cultivated well, different phoenixes will naturally fly in.

Just because the degree has not yet been determined, the students currently accepted by New Asia College are mainly junior high schools.

There's nothing we can do about it, Gui Lao values ​​his degree...

Qian Mu, Tang Junyi, Zhang Qiyun and other great scholars were waiting at the door. Considering their status in the academic world, it was not necessary for them to do so.

It's just that now and then, a group of people know that whether the college can continue to operate depends mainly on the support of doctors, so as to adjust their mentality to a low level.

In addition to them at the school gate, there were about a dozen female students holding flowers in their hands, all wearing aqua blue cheongsams.

As the saying goes, the little lotus has just revealed its sharp horns, and the dragonfly has already stood on its head. This is what they are talking about at this age.

Vigorous vitality, restless vitality, and full innocence are just the beginning of the most beautiful stage of life.

The two girls at the head were Cheng Yueru and Zhang Zhongwen.

They all moved to Hong Kong Island this year.

These two little girls are amazing, really amazing.

Cheng Yueru is the eldest daughter of Li Zongren's secretary Cheng Siyuan and Jiang Xiuhua. Her English name is Linda. Yes, she is Lin Dai!

She was 14 years old at the time, but she was already tall and graceful, with bushy eyebrows and big eyes, and she was attentive. Most importantly, she was elegant and generous, so she was chosen by the academy to be the captain of the welcome team.

As for another person named Zhang Zhongwen, he was 12 years old at the time.

Although he is still in his prime years, he is already in good shape. I don’t know what he ate when he grew up.

She was also amazing. In later generations, she acted in a movie called "Fantasy".

Afterwards, all the men who saw the movie had wild imaginations.

In terms of her bold figure, she is the best in the film industry!

Not only do people like to call her the most beautiful animal, they also like to call her the fire-breathing girl!

Bruce Lee also served as her bodyguard.

"Linda."

Zhang Zhongwen was a little nervous: "I heard that Dr. Gao who is waiting is a big shot."

"Seems to be."

Lin Dai was also a little nervous, so she comforted her: "Anyway, we are just sending bouquets of flowers, and the rest is the business of the dean and the others."

Zhang Zhongwen nodded frequently: "They are all PhDs, so they must be very old."

"of course."

Lin Dai said matter-of-factly: "Otherwise, why would the dean and the others be waiting at the door so early?"

She thought about it: "It must be a great generation."

Both women had just arrived in Hong Kong Island, and they had occasionally heard of Dr. Gao. However, Lin Dai had to work odd jobs to support her family, and Zhang Zhongwen was too young, so naturally she would not know much about this doctor.

For them, other people's affairs are too far away.

Rustling, Zhong Hong, riding a bicycle, stopped not far from the academy with a group of military uniforms. He shouted to have the military uniforms lined up on both sides, and then walked up to Tang Junyi and others: "Gentlemen, the president will be here soon. .”

After talking about the president, Tang Junyi immediately understood that this police officer was from Chaozhou.

They were both happy and worried, so they responded one after another: "Thank you, sir."

As the saying goes, when a scholar encounters a soldier, there is no reason to explain.

The extremely experienced Tang Junyi and others were very polite to Zhong Hong.

Before long, there was the sound of cars in the distance.

Even Lin Dai, Zhang Zhongwen and other female students knew that the real master was coming, and they all almost felt their hearts in their throats.

A train of small Fords stopped on the side of the road.

Zhong Hong jogged to the front Ford.

Lin Dai and Zhang Zhongwen whispered: "I didn't expect this doctor to be quite good at putting on a show."

Zhang Zhongwen said secretly: "It's a new academy and there are no musical instruments."

"Otherwise, I would have to brag about it."

A group of female students heard clearly, so they all covered their mouths and snickered.

It wasn't until Tang Junyi coughed slightly that everyone held back.

The car door opened and Gao Jin got out.

Lin Dai and Zhang Zhongwen exclaimed: "Young man, you can't do it, can you?"

The two women couldn't believe it.

They only breathed a sigh of relief when Gao Jin stood aside. It seemed that this person was not the real owner.

Gao Yao came down next. He had handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

Lin Dai and Zhang Zhongwen's hearts were beating wildly. The two women looked at each other, their eyes a little straight: "It's impossible..."

"It looks like it's true..."

A female student from behind gently pushed down Lin Dai's back: "Linda, the dean welcomes you."

Lin Dai and Zhang Zhongwen, who were in a hurry, quickly shook their hands and offered flowers: "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."

Looking at Gao Yao leading the team, Lin Dai secretly said to Zhang Zhongwen: "I think it is our young master."

While they were talking, Qian Mu, Tang Junyi, Zhang Qiyun and others had already stepped forward.

"Build such a big battle."

Gao Yao laughed and shook hands with Zhang Qiyun first.

The earliest time was when Zhang Qiyun came to Hong Kong to discuss with Gao Yao the construction of a Chinese language college.

"Mr. Zhang, long time no see. I miss you so much."

It was only later that Gao Yao recalled that Zhang Qiyun was one of the first batch of ministry-appointed professors of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China and the director-general of the Geographical Society.

In 1943, he was invited by the U.S. State Department to study and lecture at Harvard University for a year.

This person is known as Chen Bulei the second.

After Chang Kaishen retreated to Wanwan, he successively served as the director of the Secretariat Group of the Kuomintang Office, the Minister of Propaganda Department, the Minister of Education, and the Counselor of the Presidential Office, etc., making great contributions to the cause of culture and education.

The treasure island is full of peaches and plums!

Zhang Qiyun didn't expect Gao Yao to be so enthusiastic. He hurriedly said: "I really miss Doctor."

Gao Yao laughed, and then he shook hands with Qian Mu, Tang Junyi and others one by one.

"I hope your New Asia College can become the cradle of talents in the new era."

"The future is bright, and the world is filled with peaches and plums."

"Come."

Gao Yao waved to a group of powerful people from Lok Sin Tong to come forward: "These are the prime ministers of our Lok Sin Tong in Kowloon. Everyone has high hopes for New Asia College."

Chen Zuze and others said one after another: "I have heard that there is a famous school in Guilin Street. Now the neighbors can have a place to go to school."

"I think given time, it will never be lower than HKU."

"New people, new atmosphere."

A group of country squires almost praised Xinya Academy to the sky.

Lin Dai and Zhang Zhongwen finally found an opportunity. One of them presented flowers to Gao Yao, and the other brought a ribbon to Gao Yao. They both looked at Gao Yao playfully. There was only one thought in my mind, it turned out that Dr. Gao was so beautiful.

"Dean Qian."

New Asia College finally decided that Qian Mulai would serve as the first dean. This person was not an ordinary person. He, together with Lu Simian, Chen Yuan, and Chen Yinke, were known as the "four great (modern) historians" in China.

Gao Yao held Qian Mu's hand enthusiastically. To be honest, all the professors at New Asia College were the best.

Take this Qian Mu, for example, he was almost elected as an academician!

In 1947, the National Government promulgated the revised "Organizational Law of the National Academia Sinica" drafted by the Academia Sinica and approved by the Legislative Yuan, which provided a legal basis for the academician system. It stipulated that: Academicians of the Academia Sinica are lifelong honorary positions and are divided into mathematics and physics groups. The three groups, biology group and humanities group (following the division of research fields by the Kaiser Wilhelm Society of Hans), were elected by the Academia Sinica Council for the first time, with a quota of 80-100 people.

From March 3th to 25th this year, Academia Sinica officially began to elect academicians.

The election was based on academic stance and did not involve political stance. A total of 81 academicians were elected, and they were also the first batch of academicians in China!

It later became a template for mainland China and Bay Area.

Those who could be included in the electoral list at that time were all outstanding!

Those who were actually elected as the first academicians of Academia Sinica were recognized by all parties as the most outstanding academic talents in China at that time, and definitely represented the highest level of academic development in China before 1948.

In fact, Qian Mu should also be selected, but someone interfered...

"You, the rich dean of New Asia Academy, will be in charge of the overall situation. I can rest assured."

Gao Yao reached out to Gao Jin as he spoke.

Gao Jin took out a check from his pocket and handed it over.

"New Asia College finally welcomes students. This is a small step, but it is indeed a big step in the future."

Gao Yao smiled and handed the check to Qian Mu: "Just be careful, I only hope that New Asia College will prosper and become a post-secondary school in the future!"

Qian Mu took a look, 5 Hong Kong dollars?

He was stunned.

"PhD."

Qian Mu felt embarrassed and sighed. He really had to accept the money.

"Teaching and educating people is the purpose of our generation."

Qian Mu said firmly: "New Asia College will definitely take root in Hong Kong Island."

"well."

Gao Yao smiled and said to everyone: "Speaking of which, I, Gao, am embarrassed."

"New Asia College was originally a post-secondary school, but now it is mainly a junior high school."

Qian Mu and others hurriedly said: "Doctor, please don't take it personally and act cheaply."

"When things stabilize later, we will start opening university courses."

There is really nothing we can do about this. New Asia College cannot grant degrees. How can serious college students be willing to study here?

Even if you can't go abroad to study, no matter how difficult it is, you can still go to Guangfu to study.

"HKU is still rebuilding."

Gao Yao said as he walked, he emphasized: "I will take care of the degree."

Letting these great scholars lead only a few junior high school classes is really killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

Gao Yao also had some ideas. He offered advice: "Gao Yao has a bad opinion."

"It's better to hold a research class."

"With all the professors here, we will definitely attract relevant students to join us, and it will also provide opportunities for further study for college graduates who are interested in the study of Eastern history and culture."

The research class is for graduate students.

Not to mention, Gao's idea immediately impressed Qian Mu and others.

They are the absolute cultural giants today. If they want to personally lead graduate students, there will be no shortage of students.

It's just that this proposal was a bit sudden, and Qian Mu and others were a little undecided.

Gao Yao has such a sharp eye. He could tell at a glance that Qian Mu and others were interested, so he promised: "I, Gao, will take care of the relevant venues and equipment."

Zhang Qiyun hurriedly interjected: "What the doctor said is really wonderful."

"I don't think it's better than this. Then we can discuss it and see if it can be done and how it should be done."

"Actually, in my humble opinion, the doctor's idea is a great one."

Everyone nodded. Leading a research class is actually leading a disciple. They desperately hope that someone can take up their mantle.

Gao Yao laughed: "Anyway, I, Gao, have money to contribute, so I should contribute my efforts. Gentlemen, please don't feel pressured."

"There are still many days ahead."

"Yep."

Everyone chatted and laughed and gathered around Gao Yao to go upstairs.

New Asia Academy was founded using two tenement buildings provided by Gao Yao. The conditions were a bit crude, but everyone was very spirited.

As Gao Yao went upstairs, he introduced Qian Mu and others to the squires. After all, he had done his homework.

And Qian Mu and others are real materials, so it is really not exaggerated at all.

Chen Zuze and others who said it after a few words were jealous.

The legacy of the Qing dynasty who founded the University of Hong Kong still had merit in Hong Kong Island. It was they who spared no effort to spread Confucianism and other cultures on Hong Kong Island, which made Hong Kong people gradually start to respect education.

Especially the landowners and squires, they know the importance of famous teachers very well.

As the saying goes, the king of heaven and earth is the master...

One day I will be a teacher and a father for life...

A teacher is someone who preaches, accepts karma and resolves doubts!

The stronger the teacher is, the more disciples he has, and the wider his network is!

For example, Chen Zuze was the first to speak: "The little dog is a bit older, otherwise I would really like to send him to the academy to soak up the talents of all the gentlemen."

"but."

"If your college opens a seminar, Xiaoquan will definitely sign up. Although he studies in London, he likes Eastern culture the most."

Others also spoke: "Western education is mainly based on foreign languages."

“We can’t throw away our ancestor’s knowledge.”

As he spoke, Gao Yao, Qian Mu, and Zhang Qiyun disappeared from the crowd.

The three of them were in Qian Mu's office.

"PhD."

Since Qian Mu has served as the dean of New Asia College, he is very concerned about the education situation in Hong Kong Island. He said a question: "This year, the Legislative Council gave the Education Department the power to approve or cancel the registration of teachers, and it also stipulated that teachers who have not been registered Teachers cannot teach, and offenders will be subject to criminal liability."

This is indeed a newly introduced law, mainly because education here on Hong Kong Island is closely related to politics.

Zuo Zai and Right Zai not only opened newspapers on Hong Kong Island, but also opened schools for the purpose of controlling ideology.

This is what Gao Yao has always said, the atmosphere in the school should be pure and it is best not to involve politics.

"It doesn't matter."

Gao Yao said immediately: "Dean, there is no need to worry about this regulation."

Someone Gao has the final say in Kowloon. If he doesn't speak up, which errand boy would dare to come and arrest someone?

Gao Yao followed with a smile and said: "Since we live on Hong Kong Island, we still have to abide by what we should abide by."

"In this way, I will take care of the registration matter. When the time comes, people from the Education Department will come to your door to handle it for you."

Logically speaking, Qian Mu and others had to go to the Department of Education to handle this matter, and there would have to be all kinds of difficulties in the process.

Gao Yao understood this: "A polite person will never let gentlemen be dishonored if they do polite things."

Qian Mu was afraid of this. It was very rare for these big guys from New Asia College to come to Hong Kong. If they were made things difficult for them, they might just leave with their titles hanging.

The loss would be too great!

Speaking of this, Qian Mu glanced at Zhang Qiyun, and then asked: "Doctor, if it's the Double Ten Festival..." (End of Chapter)
