"Made to the South and Returned to the North" tells the story of university professors and students during the Republic of China who moved their books and cultural relics to the southwest after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and then went north again after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. The full text was written until the Cultural Revolution. , each and every tenacious and bright life, finally groaned heavily under the grinding wheels of history. Mr. Jin Vietnam has profound writing skills and can dramatically show the lives of scholars in front of you. It seems that you have accompanied them through a not long but arduous journey. These names are no longer smoke. If you stretch out your hand, you can even touch their beating. pulse. At a time when mountains and rivers were shattered and the nation was in danger, the vast majority of intellectuals and national elites refused to be slaves to the subjugation of their country. In order to preserve the fire of culture, they stayed with their motherland, traveled long distances, and lived in exile. Despite death threats, we help each other. We are poor and strong, and we persist in education, academic resistance, burning ointments to carry on the sundial, and passing on the legacy to continue the lifeline of Chinese culture. Those who were deeply impressed include Wang Guowei, Lin Huiyin, Liang Sicheng and others.

In terms of "studying the relationship between heaven and man, understanding the changes of ancient and modern times, and becoming a family", it took more than a hundred years since Sima Qian, the great ancestor of history, passed away more than 2,000 years ago to give birth to Ban Gu. More than fifty years after Ban Gu's death, Xun Yue was born. More than eighty years after Xun Yue's death, Chen Shou was born. Seven hundred years after Chen Shou's death, Ouyang Xiu and Sima Guang were not born until the 11th century. Zheng Qiao was born in the 12th century. Six hundred years after Zheng's death, it was not until the 18th century that several famous figures such as Zhao Yi, Qian Daxin, Wang Mingsheng, Quan Zuwang, and Zhang Xuecheng emerged. More than a year after the deaths of Zhao, Qian, Wang, Quan, Zhang and others, the unparalleled genius Wang Guowei was born. The Wang family is not only "unparalleled in the study of ancient history and textual research" (Wu Mi said), but also has extensive and profound knowledge. He is the successor to the great historian Chen Shou who wrote the immortal masterpiece "Three Kingdoms" during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Over the years, it is unmatched by famous historical places in the past dynasties. It is precisely because of such a great initiative that later generations have a famous aphorism: "If you don't look at Wang Guowei's knowledge, you don't know how great the master is and how high the mountain is." However, a generation of masters and extraordinary talents sank to the bottom of the lake, which is shocking. I prefer to believe that he died for culture.

Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin became very embarrassed after they moved to Lizhuang, Sichuan. Lin Huiyin suffered from severe lung disease and lacked food and clothing. Liang Sicheng decided to treat his wife's illness and first experimented on himself. intramuscular and intravenous injections. At that time, the Liang family was too poor to eat. Liang Sicheng sold his beloved watches, leather shoes and even a Parker pen given by his foreign friends John Fairbank and his wife. His son Liang Congjie could only wear a pair of straw sandals to school in winter. As a result, he developed chilblains from the frost, which would not heal for a long time. . Even though life was so difficult, they never gave up their academic research. Liang Sicheng suffered from severe cervical spondylosis and was often in pain and could not lift his head. He put a vase in front of the drawing board, held his chin, and used the only kerosene lamp in the unit to draw pictures for a long time in dim light. Completed the hand-drawn book "Image History of Chinese Architecture". This reminds me of the movie "The Eight Hundred" I just watched. When the nation is in danger, it is these backbones of the country who succeed one after another, inheriting the spirit of never giving up.

The master has gone away and there is no more master, but the soul of the master will not drift away with the wheel of history. On the contrary, when we savor it carefully, the cultural genes left behind will remain fresh and everlasting. grow.
