In the early 1980s, at Sichuan Normal University, there was only one large boiler supplying boiling water to the working and living area of ​​nearly 10,000 people. Therefore, the activity of turning on the water every day is both vigorous and lively.

Late College V. Section 24 of the First Semester: Ride to and from

(Summary of content: Secretary Xu of the County Party Committee came to the Provincial Party School to study for half a year, and I happened to take his car there and back. This way I could save a few yuan. In Sichuan Normal University I I also got acquainted with Professor Chen Zhonghou, who was also from Guanxian County, and his experience was quite legendary)

In the early 1980s, in the Sichuan Normal University, there was only one large boiler supplying boiling water in the working and living area of ​​nearly 10,000 people. Therefore, the activity of turning on the water every day is both vigorous and lively. This large boiler is installed in the open air between Sanzao, a student, and Yingmingyuan, a foreign student. There are 4 water faucets where the water is turned on. The maximum length of the 4-way column is more than 100 meters! But the progress was very fast. Various people carried hot water bottles and walked to the water faucet in a short while.

Pictures of the new campus of Sichuan Normal University

Since I entered Sichuan Normal University, Brother Chen in our dormitory has advocated that the four people in the same dormitory take turns to turn on the water, and each person has a week. One person who takes turns each time carries four 5-pound hot water bottles from the same dormitory at around 7 o'clock in the morning, and goes to the boiler to line up to turn on the water. Among them, mine is a hollow iron hot water bottle. I bought it when I was in school for 1.50 yuan each. I used it for two years in Sichuan Normal University. The other three thermoses, Brother Chen, Lao Xiang, and Lao Shao, are all printed with iron sheets but are all old.

The momentum of water is turned on here, which is both tense and orderly. Then at noon or in the afternoon, if you still need to turn on the water, you can cook it yourself... During the entire two years at Sichuan Normal University, we did this in our dormitory and in our cadre class. This helped each other save a lot of time and energy.

….

As agreed this Saturday, I will go to the Provincial Party School and take Secretary Xu’s car back to Guan County. When should I set off? I calculated that Xu should set off at 4 to 5 pm and return to Guan County before 6 pm so that he could have dinner with his family.

The Beijing Jeep driven by Master Gong, the driver of the county party committee, traveled more than 50 kilometers along the Guan Road from Guan County to the Provincial Party School; after passing Ximen Station, he turned to the direction of Wenjiang, which is about 10 kilometers. It is about 70 kilometers in total and takes one and a half hours to drive, and vice versa for the return trip. I had already taken the route from Sichuan Normal University to the Provincial Party School when I went to Chongqing County with Lao Shao that day. We have to go to Jiuyan Bridge, Qingyang Palace, and then to Guanghua Village Provincial Party School, which takes about an hour and a half.

After lunch on Saturday, I took a short rest and set off at 2 o'clock. He had some dollar bills on his body, and his shoulder bag contained old middle and high school Russian books, as well as newly purchased philosophy and textbooks. What I was thinking about was that if I went to the Provincial Party School, I would still read books early. First, because I cannot stop studying foreign languages ​​and I have to read them every day when I get home. Second, Lenin said that people should inspire their own thinking, and there is no other way than reading previous philosophical books. In my first semester at Sichuan Normal University, I focused on memorizing foreign languages ​​and studying philosophy.

I wore the school emblem of the newly issued Sichuan Normal University on my chest, and brought my student ID card from the cadre class of the Department of Political Education of Sichuan Normal University. I heard that thieves who pickpocket bags on the streets and on buses generally do not attack college students. The main reason is that these people can only eat, and they definitely don’t have much money left. Besides, pickpockets and the like are those who were naughty and had bad grades when they were in school; they are naturally in awe of those who have good grades and go to college.

I also heard a teacher named Chen from the Department of Political Science and Education say: One time he took a bus from Jianyang back to Chengdu and passed Longquan Mountain . A few boys got together and asked everyone in the car to give out 5 yuan or 10 yuan. Only because he had an teacher certificate , the others let him go. This is actually robbery on public transport! Now he will be sentenced to at least 10 years in prison. In view of the social security situation, Sichuan Normal University has new regulations: teachers and students must wear the school badge when entering the school gate. The school badge for college students is white, while the school badge for teachers, including graduate students, is red. I heard the head teacher, Teacher Yang, explain that the school regulations are to clarify the identity and facilitate the work of the school security department.

At first, those of us in our 30s were not used to wearing white school badges, but over time we got used to it. It can be seen that there are several female graduate students with red school badges, always walking in and out of the group with white school badges in the most arrogant manner.At that time, Xu Xiaoya and other male college students called the female graduate students of Sichuan Normal University "dinosaurs." It means high above, as inaccessible as a behemoth from ancient times.

There is a foreign language classroom on the first floor of our liberal arts building. We have all seen a woman who also wore a red school badge. She stood on the podium gracefully and charmingly, but I don’t know why? She was not rated as a school beauty. I heard Xu Xiaoya say that the school beauty should be seen in the university; the girl who was a junior high jumper in the Chinese Department was third in Sichuan and everyone in Sichuan Normal University knew about it. Those in the foreign language department can only be active in the classroom and at school, so they are only invisible school beauties.

During my two years at Sichuan Normal University, I really had no contact with graduate students. But one afternoon on the way to turn on the water, I had a few words with a female graduate student in the Department of Mathematics. This female graduate student is dignified and serious in speech. She is neither tall nor short, and is slightly overweight. While serving food in the Sanzao canteen, I once saw her stand up and stop a big boy who was cutting in the queue. Because the female graduate student wore a red school badge on her chest, the male student who was restrained did not dare to do anything.

From the second dormitory of our students to the open-air boiler where the water is turned on, and to the access road in front of the third stove, we have to go down a 10-meter-high slope from the stone steps. This afternoon after dinner, I replenished myself with water. Carrying my own 5-pound hot water bottle made of metal, I met this female graduate student on the downhill slope. This person was wearing a red school badge. She asked first if you were in the special class of the Department of Political Science and Education? I can only answer yes.

The woman went on to say, DazhouThere is also a comrade from the Propaganda Department named Wang who works in your special class. I can only answer yes. The woman introduced herself. She graduated from the Mathematics Department of Sichuan Normal University and was assigned to Dazhou Institute of Education. After working for three years, I was admitted to the Department of Mathematics of Sichuan Normal University and studied for a three-year master's degree for another two years. I am trying to stay in Chengdu when I graduate next year. I am still single at the age of 28 and have not settled down. She has heard that there is a good life committee member in the cadre class. Lu Yulin, vice president of Sichuan Normal University and secretary of the party committee of the college, once mentioned it.

Sichuan Normal University, which now has 40,000 teachers and students, is divided into three campuses

The woman also said that on the afternoon of September 30, Secretary Xu of the Guan County Party Committee took a Beijing Jeep to visit the Sichuan Normal University campus. Secretary Lu also met with him and said that when it was the Shanxi-Sui base area, Secretary Lu was the dean of the Northwest Military University and Secretary Xu was his student. I had no choice but to tell this "dinosaur" that classmate Wang from Dazhou in my class was fully aware of my situation and left quickly.

….

12 bus station goes down, next to the wall of Hongqi Rubber Factory. The one going up is on the opposite side of the road, where there are still many male and female college students waiting for the bus. Following the lesson I learned from the last time I struck up a conversation with a beauty from the history department, I no longer say anything to male and female college students. Even when I meet someone with a grade of 81, I just nod. Two stops down from here is Laijia Xinqiao Terminal. During the Cultural Revolution, the 1966 Revolution was connected. I caught the bus there when I was in the High School Affiliated to the Sichuan Normal University.

The so-called new bridge is actually Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, a train iron bridge spanning a small river ditch. It is similar to ordinary rural towns. During my two years of schooling at Sichuan Normal University, the author took a bus there again; the area near Sichuan Normal University is still the same as it was in those years. I just don’t know why the bus from Sichuan Normal University Monument, which is two stops less than Laijia Xinqiao, is still 0.16 yuan?

Bus No. 12 traveling up Laijia Xinqiao stops at the Hongqi Rubber Factory, which is also the platform of Sichuan Normal University. There were many people at this stop, and when I got on the bus, there were no seats left. I had to hold on to the driver's back and stand with a horizontal cylindrical steel pipe separated from the steel frame. Several people were already standing here. During the two years I was studying at Sichuan Normal University, I often sat in this position when taking the bus.

When we stopped at Shahebao Station, several more girls in their 20s came up; they had to stand, and one of them stood next to me. In order to stand firm, she also grabbed the horizontal steel pipe with her hands, and the car shook her hands and mine. I felt her hand warm and my hand cold, but the girl's hand was still close to me and wouldn't move away. I had no choice but to let go and grab the vertical steel pipe. At this time, I heard the girl say that she had a fever today. At that time, among the students in the 79th and 80th grades of Sichuan Normal University, there were still many college students in their early 30s. This girl may have mistaken me for them, an ordinary college student.

accurately calculates the time and cost. Walking or taking a bus from Sichuan Normal University to Jiuyan Bridge is 0.16 yuan for half an hour; to Qingyang Palace is 0.12 yuan for half an hour; to Guanghua Village is 0.10 for half an hour. After spending a total of 0.38 yuan and an hour and a half, I arrived at the gate of the Provincial Party School. At that time, Guanghua Village had a street as its market, and there were many people selling agricultural and sideline products on both sides of the road. What impressed me most was the sales department of the supply and marketing cooperative. There was a gray woolen Zhongshan suit with a small moth-eaten hole on the chest. It had the word "process" written in ink on the paper!

checked the certificate after registering with the gatekeeper of the Provincial Party School, and asked the gatekeeper of the corridor after entering the school. I successfully found Secretary Xu's dormitory, and Master Gong was already here. While Gong was drinking tea from his large enamel jar, he said that Secretary Xu had gone to attend the formal logic class. I asked him where was the car? Gong said that in the parking lot, unlike our suburban counties, cars have to be parked together. I feel reassured that I can save 0.90 yuan by going home this time. If I take the bus, I can save 1.80 yuan, and if I take the bus twice a month, I can save 3.60 yuan, which is almost one-tenth of my 40 yuan salary.

"Let's go and take a look." Master Gong said, "I have been sitting for a while."

"Okay." I took my satchel with me and left the room with Gong without closing the door. Gong said that the people who live here are all county party committee secretaries. Besides, there is nothing in the room, and there is a very responsible caretaker at the entrance of the corridor.

The two of us first went to the parking lot of the Provincial Party School and looked at the Beijing jeep that Gong drove. After walking around and arriving at the door of the bungalow classroom, Xu was sitting inside listening to the class. Because our backs are turned to us and we can’t recognize which one is Secretary Xu? Master Gong said it was the one at the back, wearing a gray space suit. At the front of the classroom, a middle-aged male teacher is giving a lecture. He uses chalk on the blackboard to write formulas of formal logic.

Master Gong said that their class takes a long time, starting at 2:30 in the afternoon and ending at 4:30. I looked at the watch on my hand and it was not even 4 o'clock yet. Formal logic was a new course that I had not touched before. I told Master Gong that I would also go and listen to the class for a while? Gong said you go.

I walked into the classroom quietly and sat on the seat next to Secretary Xu. Xu adjusted his glasses and whispered, "Are you here?" I also whispered that I wanted to listen to the class, and then took out a pen and notebook from my bag to listen and take notes. When get out of class ended at 4.30, I had recorded 3 pages of the 16K notebook. But I basically didn’t understand it. At that time, I felt that formal logic was like a heavenly book.

After working in the Guanxian County Party Committee in 1971, because the Propaganda Department had many books of all kinds! The author has been reading the book for more than 10 years, but his thinking is still so unclear? There is really no end to learning. This is what I thought at the time. I didn't share my thoughts, and it seemed that Secretary Xu didn't understand the formal logic. Neither of us talked about this study.

Now the freshmen of Sichuan Normal University are entering the school

On the bus back to the county, Secretary Xu avoided the topic and said that originally there was no arrangement at the provincial party school. They were studying formal logic in this class of county party committee secretaries. It was better for him to take the initiative to listen and learn more. He also told me to get on the bus at 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the gate of his house at No. 25 North Street. I remembered it firmly.

When the bus arrived in Guan County, I first told Secretary Xu that I would catch the bus at No. 25 North Street on time tomorrow. After passing Taiping Street, I got off at the intersection of Xinma Road, where my parents live in a residential area. When I got home, I saw that my wife and daughter were already here. We were going to have dinner together before going to the county committee dormitory to stay. It has been 2 to 3 months since I left Guan County. My daughter has obviously lost weight and has a big head and a thin neck. An old woman who lives in the same courtyard as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor said that my daughter had liver metastasis, which is what Western medicine calls wormwood syndrome. It was caused by malnutrition and she needed to be treated immediately. On Sunday, I took my daughter to the county hospital of traditional Chinese medicine. It turned out to be symptoms of malnutrition. I spent 2 yuan on a course of Chinese patent medicine.

In this case, I had to tell my parents that my daughter’s food was not good in the countryside and I was studying in Chengdu. Can I leave my daughter to them? Specifically, I eat three meals with them, and a lonely old woman next door takes care of her during the day; I pay the 15 yuan monthly nanny fee, and my daughter sleeps with them at night. Every month I buy another bag of "Hongyuan" milk powder and 2 pounds of sugar and put them at my parents' house for my daughter to eat.

It’s just that I concealed the important plot of saving 5 yuan every month from my lover without authorization! I am considered a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patient. There is insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain and it is very difficult to speak. Naturally, my parents agreed, and they were magnanimous; as long as the milk powder did not require sugar, it would save me roughly 2 yuan. The reason was that I was in college and my expenses would definitely be higher than usual.

….

At 4.30 pm the next Sunday, I arrived at the gate of No. 25 North Street half an hour early. It only took a while for Master Gong’s Beijing Jeep to arrive! At 5 o'clock, Secretary Xu came out of the hospital. He got in the car first and sat in the passenger seat, and then I got in and sat in the back seat. The bus arrived in Chengdu more than an hour later, and I got off at Ximen Station; I was going to take the bus to Sichuan Normal University, and Beijing Jeep took Secretary Xu to the Provincial Party School.

Like the previous times, I took bus No. 6 to Jiuyanqiao, had two bowls of noodles at a Qiaotou noodle shop, and then took bus No. 12 to Sichuan Normal University. I felt much more relaxed when I got off the bus at the school monument, walked, entered the school gate, and returned to my dormitory. After that, throughout the first semester, I went home once every half month. I always take Secretary Xu's ride like this, now I should concentrate on studying hard.

After arriving at Sichuan Normal University, I settled down and started to pay attention to the glass display case of Yanshikou. Among them, there is a column dedicated to introducing famous people from Sichuan Normal University, and only the ones I saw are recorded below.

Literature expert Qu Shouyuan . He walks long and fast and speaks very crisply. Li Anzhai, one of the founders of sociology and folklore in my country, was always surrounded by young, middle-aged and old people when he appeared on campus.

Condensed matter physics expert Zhao Minguang , dressed in a crisp suit, always speaks and acts upright. At that time, " Sichuan Daily " also reported Zhao Minguang's deeds in a full page with the title "Song of Photons".

Chemical structure expert Chen Tonghou is from Guanxian County, so I have some contacts with him. What I have seen and guessed is that Chen works more than 15 hours a day. He works at the desk in his room under a small fluorescent lamp all year round. There are two main contents of his job. One is to operate a hand-operated computer to analyze chemical molecular formulas. The second is to be entrusted by certain publishing houses inside and outside the province to help review English translations of chemistry textbooks for university use.

Chen often places several large English and Chinese character (word) dictionaries on his desk. Some of these English-Chinese character (word) dictionaries are Chen's own, and some are from the library of Sichuan Normal University. Shaking the computer and reviewing textbooks, the former is Chen's job, and the latter is part-time extra money. I earned several hundred yuan from checking and re-examining a textbook. Chen said in a serious tone that the money was valuable! Chen's calligraphy brush and block letters are very good. He said that he has practiced it since he was a child.

In the first semester when I entered the school, Chen Tonghou was declared an associate professor by the lecturer. He asked me to help read his application materials, so I had a general understanding of his situation. Chen Tonghou is from Guan County. He lives in the direction of Nanqiao Park in Chengguan, on the right side of Fuxing Street at the end of Qiaotou. His family is a landowner and he is a student. The entire family surnamed Chen owns nearly 100 acres of farmland, and evenly divided into Zhonghou’s names are 30 acres of farmland and a street house of less than 50 square meters.

The rent earned from the land cultivated by tenant farmers is just enough for Chen to live and go to school. Zhonghou said that according to the policy at the beginning of the liberation, if he cultivated these 30 acres of land by himself, he would be classified as a homesteader. Because it is rented to others, it is classified as landlord element. In 1950, when Zhonghou was 18 years old, he graduated from Chengdu High School (Guan County only started to run high schools in 1953) and joined the Chinese People's Volunteer Army to fight in North Korea.

Chen Wei has participated in many battles as a ground artilleryman, and was awarded third-class merit 1 times, and received numerous awards and verbal commendations. Chen also told: He fought in North Korea for more than two years, and his artillery division participated in almost all major battles of the Chinese Volunteer Army, including the Fifth Battle. Chen initially captured the American 105 howitzer from the Kuomintang army. It is absolutely rare to feel like using a cannon made by Americans to hit American soldiers. On the Korean battlefield, our army annihilated more enemy troops but captured less, because the enemy learned the lessons of the Kuomintang army and left a large number of weapons to the People's Liberation Army. The US military used air force bombing to destroy the battlefield.

For example, on the battlefield of the Second Battle, a large amount of equipment of the United Nations Army was left behind. Among them, there are more than 6,000 cars and 1,000 hundreds of tanks and artillery.The US military sent the air force to blow up all the abandoned cars, tanks, and artillery. Our volunteer army had few people with driving skills at the time, and only rescued more than 200 cars and tanks. Because of the support of the former Soviet Union, Chen's artillery division soon changed its equipment. The Soviet 115 plus howitzer that Chen participated in the control has better performance than the American 105 howitzer. Because this kind of gun can be used as a grenade, it can be aimed directly or indirectly, and can hit two or three kilometers farther than the American 105.

Artillery and infantry are the same on the battlefield. If I don't defeat the opponent, I will be defeated by the opponent! Therefore, the artillery's queue awards and verbal praise are very valuable and are directly related to the life safety of the artillery group and comrades in the artillery position.

"The Korean Military Armistice Agreement" was signed on July 27, 1953 in Panmunjom, North Korea. In the same year, Chen returned to China and entered the China Military Academy, where he studied artillery and graduated in 1957. Because my family was a landlord, I was a high school student before joining the army. I was already considered an intellectual at that time, and I changed my job and returned to Guanxian County. Chen Tonghou was arranged by the county to work as an accountant at the Chengguan Park Road Woodware Factory; Guan County also had a sister who was a few years older. After discussion, the two siblings decided that they should study to find a way out.

In the same year, Chen passed the Sichuan University 5-year chemistry major. After graduation in 1962, he was assigned to teach in the Chemistry Department of Chengdu University. In 1964, the department was transferred to Sichuan Normal University and continues to this day. The statement said that he had learned Russian and English by himself, but the Russian language was abolished during the Cultural Revolution. Now those who only speak English have reviewed one set of university textbooks translated in English for publishers in Chengdu, Wuhan, Yunnan and other places.

He also said that foreign textbooks usually come to China five years after they are published, and it takes another five years for them to be translated and published. Therefore, China’s chemistry higher education textbooks are about 10 years behind those of foreign countries. Chen’s wife is a nurse at the Damianpu Commune Health Center near Sichuan Normal University, and her 10-year-old son is in the third grade of the Sichuan Normal University Affiliated Primary School.

Chen also said that thanks to the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, his salary was increased by more than 50 yuan a month, and if he was rated as an associate professor, he could get more than 60 yuan. I saw that Chen's pen calligraphy was neat, well-proportioned and clean, and there were banners with his own handwriting on the wall, which were as beautiful as the pen calligraphy.

Now the freshmen of Sichuan Normal University are entering the school

Because everyone is from Guan County, Chen asked me to take away covers and other items during the holidays? You can put it there. Chen lives in the 5th dormitory of the teaching staff in a "small apartment" with an area of ​​only more than 40 square meters. He worked as a single employee at Sichuan Normal University, and his room was smaller. Soon Chen Ping became an associate professor, and it was customary for everyone to call him professor.

I heard from Xu Xiaoya and other students that the teachers in the Chinese and Chemistry departments of Sichuan Normal University are very powerful! Because it is a combination of several universities in the Chengdu area of ​​the province. The chemical laboratory building with the largest investment, best construction, and most complete equipment in the southwest region is also located in Sichuan Normal University. Chen Tonghou is one of several key professors in the Chemistry Department of Sichuan Normal University, and the Chinese Department is planning to establish a national research institution.
