Yang Jiang "Good Study"

Not long ago, Qiu Yong, the new president of Tsinghua University, visited Mr. Yang Jiang and gave him a special gift, which is this year's "Good Study" Letters written by all scholarship recipients to Mr. When seeing the calligraphy work "Preface to the Lanting Collection" written by one of the award-winning students, Yang Jiang said happily that I have been reciting it since I was a child.

What is the "Good Study" Scholarship? In 2001, Yang Jiang donated Qian Zhongshu and all her manuscript fees and royalties to her alma mater, Tsinghua University, and established the "Good Study" scholarship to reward Tsinghua students who are diligent, motivated, have excellent academic performance, and whose families have financial difficulties. Yang Jiang said: "It is easy for children from rich families to go to school. Children from poor families are often easy to read and capable, but it is difficult for them to go to middle school, let alone go to college. I hope the scholarship can help children from poor families get where they are." I wish.”

This sentiment is touching. When Yang Jiang was a child, her father once asked her: "Aji, how are you if I don't let you read for three days?" She said: "It's hard." "What if I don't let you read for a week?" She replied: "All for a week. It’s a waste of time.” This shows how much Yang Jiang loves reading. Yang Jiang once said, "Many people joke that Mr. Yang Jiang likes two 'books' at Tsinghua University - one is reading and the other is Qian Zhongshu." The establishment of the "Good Reading" scholarship not only reflects Yang Jiang's love for books Her character embodies her good wish to make more poor children love reading.

According to statistics, the "Good Study" Fund has accumulated more than 10 million yuan in student scholarships in the past ten years. This is not a small amount of money, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a huge amount of money. Yang Jiang did not use the money for enjoyment, but donated it all, which is admirable. Some people commented, "Money is a gift to the poor, but a common thing to the gentleman. Common things can support people, but to the gods, they are just extraneous things." In Mr. Yang Jiang's view, money may be just extravagance. However, donating the royalties and royalties not only makes people understand her nobility, but also makes people feel her innocence.

Yang Jiang’s life is extremely simple. Wang Rui, the editor-in-chief of "Collected Works of Yang Jiang" once revealed a detail, "Once, I saw that the shoes she (Mr. Yang Jiang) was wearing were quite unique. She said they were from Qian Yuan. I almost cried at that time." Indifferent to fame and fortune, life Being simple yet generous with charity is a state that is beyond the reach of anyone.

"The good things in the world are not strong, the colorful clouds are easy to scatter and the glass is brittle." In the floating dust, some things are too fragile, but some things can be passed down from generation to generation. For example, the works of Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang, and the "Good Study" scholarship, and what runs through them all is the kindness and compassion of an old man. "We once longed for the waves of destiny so much, but in the end we discovered that the most beautiful scenery in life is actually inner calmness and calmness." Yang Jiang said. There is no lack of enthusiasm in calmness, and this calmness is a kind of cultivation.

Yang Jiang once warned young people that after different levels of exercise, a person will obtain different levels of cultivation and benefits. Just like spices, the more you pound them, the finer they are ground, the stronger the fragrance becomes. Those poor Tsinghua students from poor families may be more motivated to study with the support of the "Good Study" scholarship, and they may cherish their hard-won high hopes more. According to incomplete statistics, hundreds of Tsinghua undergraduate and graduate students have received scholarship funding from the "Good Study" scholarship. I wonder how they felt when they received the scholarship? I hope that more students will benefit from the scholarships, and I hope that these students will live up to the expectations of the elderly.
