Quotations of characters

"When he (Jin Yong) became the dean of the School of Humanities of Zhejiang University, the doctoral supervisor of Sui and Tang Dynasties history and Chinese and Western traffic history, his academic qualifications and academic level were questioned by some academic professors. He tried to fill the regret of life by reading and studying constantly. At the same time, it will prove that he is qualified to be a doctoral tutor at Zhejiang University. " -Fu Guoyong, author of Jin Yong Biography

Netizen: claiming to cover Jin Yong's doctorate.

"Mr. Jin Yong's doctorate is my stamp!" Recently, on the Renren.com, a netizen who claimed to be a student of Peking University posted a post that attracted attention.

Jin Yong's "Peking University Doctoral Diploma" uploaded in the post shows that "Cha,/Kloc-0 was born in 1924, studied in China Ancient Literature Department of China Language and Literature from September 2009 to July 2065, completed all the courses stipulated in the doctoral training plan, and passed the graduation thesis defense." The signature office of the certificate is signed by Wang Enge, the president of Peking University, with the date of 2065438+July 2003.

"Mr. Jin Yong, it's worth breaking your hand!" The netizen wrote. As soon as the post was released, it attracted a large number of netizens to "watch". However, with the increasing attention, the reporter logged into Renren.com on the 6th and found that the post had been deleted by the poster.

Response: You can't graduate without implementing the study plan.

"It is true that Jin Yong is a Ph.D. student at Peking University on the Internet, and it is false to say that he has obtained a doctorate." On the 6th, the person in charge of Peking University responded that Jin Yong became a doctoral student of Peking University Institute of Chinese Studies in September 2009, majoring in ancient history and culture of China.

According to reports, the doctoral degree system is a four-year system. Jin Yong should graduate this year, but he can't get a doctorate from Peking University as scheduled. The reason is that when Jin Yong applied for a Ph.D. in Peking University, the school made a serious study of his academic situation and formulated a series of study plans. However, after applying for admission, Jin Yong failed to graduate as scheduled due to his advanced age and weak body.

On the afternoon of the 6th, Weibo, the official of Peking University News Center, issued a statement saying that Jin Yong's diploma published online was prepared in advance by the school department according to the date of admission of doctoral students and could not be regarded as an official document. At the same time, according to the explanation, Jin Yong began to study for a doctorate in Peking University at the age of 85, which reflected his enthusiasm for academics and was also an inspiration to young people.

Urge sb. to give an interview

"Individualized Cultivation" of Doctoral Students in Peking University

It is understood that applying for the National Institute of Peking University needs to pass the unified doctoral entrance examination of Peking University, with a four-year academic system, and the corresponding doctoral degree can only be awarded after completing the credits and passing the thesis defense. "Does Peking University specialize in studying Jin Daxia?" "How did 89-year-old Jin Yong get his diploma?" Many netizens questioned the rationality of the graduation certificate issued by Peking University. On these issues, the reporter interviewed the relevant person in charge of Peking University on the 6th.

Reporter: Why did Jin Yong's doctorate from Peking University appear on the Internet?

Person in charge: Generally, the school management department prepares the graduation certificate before the students graduate, but "preparation" does not mean "issuance" to the students. The graduation certificate is often issued when the students graduate in July. Jin Yong's diploma may be the preparatory work of the relevant departments of the school before the graduation certificate is issued.

Reporter: Does this mean that Jin Yong can get a diploma this year?

Person in charge: the graduation certificate issued by the school strictly follows the requirements of students' credits, thesis defense and so on. Jin Yong will definitely not get his diploma this year because he has not implemented his study plan.

Reporter: Jin Yong doesn't have to attend classes at school all day?

Person in charge: The school pays attention to the individualized training of doctoral students and other groups, with various training methods.

Reporter: Did Jin Yong postpone his graduation?

Person in charge: It depends on his personal physical condition and willingness to learn.

Jin Yong is often accused of "skipping classes"

Professor Chen Pingyuan, the former head of the Department of China Studies in Peking University, confirmed that Mr. Jin Yong did study for a doctorate in Peking University in recent years. His tutor is Yuan Xingpei, director of the Central Museum of Literature and History, president of Peking University Institute of Chinese Studies and professor of Chinese Studies in Peking University. "He (Jin Yong) should not have to go to school." Chen Pingyuan said, "As for whether he passed the thesis defense this year and graduated this year, I don't know."

According to previous media reports, Jin Yong, a doctoral student in the Chinese Department of Peking University in the same grade as Jin Yong, said that from the first day of school, Jin Yong began to "skip classes". The head teacher named Liang Yong (Jin Yong), but no one answered. I haven't seen Jin Yong on campus.

Jin Yong is "very happy" to study at Peking University.

Jin Yong has obtained honorary professors, professors, honorary doctors and doctorates in many well-known universities. In 2005, he was awarded the honorary title of Doctor of Literature by Cambridge University. Later, at the age of 8 1, he studied for a master's degree and a doctor's degree in history in Cambridge, and obtained a doctorate in philosophy in 20 10.

In 2007, after obtaining a master's degree from Cambridge University in England, Jin Yong said at the symposium on the 5th anniversary of the establishment of Peking University Sinology Research Institute/KLOC-that he did not study sinology enough. He hoped to consult some teachers at Peking University's Sinology Institute. When Peking University agreed to let him study at Peking University's Sinology Institute, he was "very happy".

I wanted to go to Peking University to study undergraduate.

It is understood that Jin Yong was an honorary professor in Peking University a long time ago. In 2008, Xu Zhihong, then president of Peking University, revealed that Jin Yong was going to finish his postdoctoral research in Cambridge, and then go to the Institute of China Studies in Peking University to pursue his doctorate.

Jin Yong originally wanted to study at Peking University as an undergraduate, but only after Xu Zhihong persuaded him to study for a doctorate. In fact, both Cambridge and Peking University have made an exception for Jin Yong, and it is almost certain that Jin Yong basically does not do research at school. At that time, Cambridge awarded Jin Yong a doctor's degree certificate, and even Dean St. John and thesis supervisor from Cambridge went to Hong Kong to preside over the award ceremony. This is unprecedented for Cambridge University.

Interpretation of Jin Yong's reading complex

After ten years of revision, historian Fu Guoyong has just published the Biography of Jin Yong (revised edition). He wrote this book because the editor thought that he lived in Hangzhou, near Haining, and it was convenient to collect information. Ten years later, he looked at Jin Yong from the perspective of a historical researcher and had his own independent judgment, not parroting. Some places are even different from what Jin Yong expected and described.

Evaluation: Jin Yong's most admired life paradigm is Fan Li style.

Reporter: Have you met Jin Yong, but haven't you interviewed him? How to objectively evaluate Jin Yong through his own research?

Fu Guoyong: As a historical researcher, it is not necessary for a reporter to interview him by collecting materials from various sources. Jin Yong's most enviable life model is Fan Li. On the one hand, he assisted the emperor and made contributions; On the other hand, he embraced beautiful women and retired from the Jianghu with wealth. Jin Yong did not achieve Fan Li's achievements, although he possessed Fan Li's wealth and life. He felt depressed and dissatisfied from the bottom of his heart. He has always had a dream of making achievements, which has never been realized, so he has transformed all his ambitions, all his energy and all his talents into the political theory of Ming Pao and the writing of martial arts novels. Therefore, the rivers and lakes he wrote are different and have deeper connotations.

Of course, when I write this book, it is more important to present a young man from the south of the Yangtze River who was born in the post-May 4th era and experienced a series of major events in the 20th century. He just came to Hong Kong in the tide of the times and started his business here. He interacted with the times and responded to their challenges. In fact, I wrote not only Jin Yong, but also this kind of ups and downs. The influence of education in the Republic of China, especially primary and secondary education, on Jin Yong, his devotion to Ta Kung Pao in his youth, the spiritual temperament endowed by literati in running newspapers on politics, and his successful journalism in Hong Kong can all be sung and ridiculed. Jin Yong likes Toynbee's theory very much. Toynbee put forward the challenge and being challenged of civilization, and so did his life.

Interpretation: Jin Yong tried to fill the regrets in his life by constantly reading blogs.

Reporter: In his octogenarian years, Jin Yong studied for his doctorate in Cambridge and Peking University. What prompted him to love reading so much?

Fu Guoyong: I just saw the news. He is studying for a doctorate in Peking University. According to secular standards, Jin Yong was very successful, but he always had some regrets, one of which was that he didn't graduate from college. 1943 was admitted to the Foreign Languages Department of Chongqing Central Political School, and was "dropped out" after studying for one year. Later, I worked in Soochow University Law School for less than a year and didn't get a diploma. He has never received a complete higher education. Later, many famous universities icing on the cake asked him to be an honorary professor and awarded him an honorary doctor, but he was not satisfied. When he finally became the dean of the School of Humanities of Zhejiang University, the doctoral supervisor of the history of Sui and Tang Dynasties and the history of Chinese and Western communications, his academic qualifications and academic level were questioned by some academic professors. In my opinion, as a political writer and a martial arts novelist, Jin Yong should be undisputed as a doctoral supervisor of the Chinese Department. If he is a doctoral supervisor in the journalism department, there is no problem. I believe no one will question it, but he is determined to be a doctoral supervisor in history. This is a knot in his later years. He feels that he is superior in this respect. He once wrote Biography of Yuan Chonghuan, but he hasn't published any books or papers in the field of Sui and Tang Dynasties history and Chinese and Western traffic history.

The storm greatly hurt his self-esteem and perhaps touched some hidden pains in his heart, so he had to go to Cambridge to study for a doctorate. His English doctoral thesis passed, but it has not been published yet. I haven't seen it yet. From this, we can understand why it is not enough for him to get a doctorate in Cambridge, but also to get a doctorate in Chinese studies from Peking University. He tried to fill the regret of life by reading and studying constantly. At the same time, in order to prove that he is qualified to be a doctoral supervisor of Zhejiang University, I deeply sympathize with him. According to the China Business Daily,
