Quotation: Truth, even when trodden to the ground, will stand up: the eternal years of God belong to her; but error, once wounded, will wallow on the spot, and die among its worshipers.

The Story of Standing Up (2008-05-07 11:22:31) Tag: Miscellaneous Talk

Ni Kuang said that he attended a symposium in Taipei one year and stood up loudly to report himself All the people in the meeting with academic qualifications were Ph.D.s who had studied abroad. When it was his turn to report that he had graduated from junior high school, the whole room was completely silent. After a long silence, only Sanmao stood up and said loudly and crisply: "I graduated from elementary school!" 〕The venue fell silent again and again, making the atmosphere a bit weird.

Ni Kuang must be telling the truth. It is not known whether Sanmao deliberately kept silent during the tryst. However, the two novelists were already very famous at that time, and I am afraid that they will inevitably make those present far less famous than the two of them. The doctors felt embarrassed and believed that this graduate from a primary school did not intend to be provocative and had no intention of being proud of not entering a school.

I have heard the term "social university" for a long time. The generation of people who succeeded in self-study in the last century gained experience from society and their achievements were recognized. Everyone said that they came from [a social university]. There were people with academic qualifications in the old days, many of whom were broad-minded. Liang Qichao strongly recommended the top academics. Chen Yinke, who did not value academic qualifications, enrolled in Tsinghua University, and the incident is still well-known after more than half a century.

The most well-known person who has succeeded in self-study is naturally Wang Yunwu; in Hong Kong, San Su, a senior newspaper supplement master, introduced himself in his single book, and also said that he (he has not graduated from primary school, middle school or university), Doctors and bachelors at the same time also highly praised him. At the beginning of the last century, during the war, not everyone had the opportunity to receive education, but those who were unwilling to give up and strive for improvement still had no worries about being appreciated. There was no academy. Discrimination between academics and non-academics.

In today's peaceful and prosperous age, everyone is generally highly educated, and there are many PhDs. It has become a strong community. Elites from [social universities], when it comes to [discrimination], some people must be sensitive, but to be fair, age Quite the same, with the same experience, there is really no reason why they cannot hold the same high position. For young people, academic qualifications are indeed the minimum guarantee of entry quality. However, after settling down on a fishing boat, there are those who hold a diploma to protect themselves and do not want to make progress. There are a lot of people out there, and lazy people raised by academics may not be as good as those without academic qualifications who keep pace with the times. This is not only a fact that has been witnessed in the past, but can still be observed today from the performance of different talents in all walks of life.
