School of Philosophy There is a professor named Wang Defeng . philosophy has a high level of cultivation, has a lot of works, has won numerous awards, but has a full personality. In class, he can always speak boring philosophy humorously, so that the classroom is full, and the students listen with relish. Therefore, he is affectionately called "Prince of Philosophy" by students.
He has a catchphrase: I have two hobbies in my life, one is philosophy and the other is smoking, both of which have reached the point of obsession.
And, he took these two hobbies to the extreme, and he could see him thinking about problems with a cigarette at any location, and in class it was no exception. He often taught while sucking in the clouds and fog, thus becoming a controversial figure.
Professor Wang Defeng's humor and philosophy are everywhere. He often discovers philosophical elements in his trivial life and tells their essence in an easy-to-understand way, which has become an impressive quote.
When talking about the Japanese nation, he never said something like "A step back and the sea will be wide open the sky" , Professor Wang Defeng said: They retreated and retreated into the sea...
Once, he invited European professors to have Chinese food. Professor Yang picked up quail eggs several times but failed. The last time he tried to pick them up before he could put them into his mouth, but it fell to the ground. Wang Defeng said: Chinese people are used to using chopsticks, foreigners use knives and forks. When people eat food, it is a relationship in which the subject eliminates the object, and the Chinese use two wooden sticks to send various foods into their mouths. This is completing a harmony between man and nature.
"Smoke is in hand" is the standard action of Professor Wang Defeng. Regarding smoking, he explained to the outside world: My smoking is not just a kind of addiction to smoking, but a kind of casualness after thinking about it.
Classrooms are public places, and smoking is prohibited in public places, which is a conventional rule. Professor Wang's approach obviously conflicts with public perception and also damages the image of "being a role model". However, his class was full, and the students didn't mind his smoking in class. Even if they would rather endure second-hand smoke, they would listen to his class.
Why is this?
Fudan University , including public opinion, suggests that Wang Defeng pay attention to "teacher ethics issues". It is indeed not a good phenomenon to be shrouded in the classroom, and it will affect the professor's tall image. However, such suggestions basically have no effect. From before Fudan University retires to when he appears in the live broadcast room after he retires, he never leaves his cigarettes when he teaches, giving everyone the feeling that he can't continue to teach without smoking.
Regarding external suggestions and doubts, Professor Wang once said: does not smoke, and the thinking is not going smoothly.
This sentence should be the first reason why Professor Wang Yan is indifferent. From this sentence, we can see that smoking seems to have become an indispensable habitual movement for him to inspire inspire, broaden his thinking, cultivate his spirit, and assist in his thinking. Only when this movement is uninterrupted will his thoughts flow continuously and it is easy to achieve the effect of being a complete eloquent. He smokes in class, not just casually, but hopes to screen out the best knowledge and teach it to students.
The second reason why he keeps his cigarettes is that his class is very exciting. Not only is the audience full of listeners in every class, but the school often arranges him a whole day of class whenever he teaches. As a mental worker, "don't leave smoking" is his habit and even a hobby for many years. Smoking can refresh him more or less, so you can often see him smoking while giving lectures.
Professor Wang also knows that smoking in class is a bad habit, which has a great impact on students listening to the class, and he is also ashamed. He has repeatedly stated that he cannot overcome the dependence on smoking and has also tried to quit smoking many times, but he did not succeed. Later, he simply refused to quit.
looks at the whole country, and you can smoke in class. I am afraid that only Professor Wang Defeng can do it nationwide. Some netizens joked: is all smokers, and there is probably no second person who can smoke Professor Wang in the country.
His academic level convinced his colleagues, made students respect him, and made Fudan University cherish and love talents. Therefore, the school did not care about the details and gave him an exception, accusing him of smoking in class. All students have long been accustomed to his behavior.
When Professor Wang's straightforwardness meets Fudan University's tolerance, the behavior of "can smoke in class" that is difficult for outsiders to understand is about to emerge.
It is said that Fudan University once conducted the survey on "Whether Professor Wang Defeng is allowed to smoke in class" , most students expressed support. It can be seen that Professor Wang's right to smoke comes from the support of students in the final analysis, which has created a unique exception in the country, which indirectly proves that Professor Wang's academic level is indeed extraordinary.
However, people outside Fudan University do not think so. After Professor Wang's behavior was reported, it caused a lot of controversy. Most people used "teacher ethics" as an example. The implication is that Professor Wang's teacher ethics has problems.
Some people say: teachers should pay more attention to their words and deeds. After all, it is on campus. Smoking in class does have a bad impact. Professor Wang should try his best to restrain himself, or avoid students and smoke again.
Others said: Professor Wang’s small shortcomings were amplified, and it was unfair to be attacked by various public opinion. Fudan University and students did not mind and understood his behavior. Others said it seemed to be a bit of a big deal.
Some people believe that is not perfect, and Professor Wang is the same. How talent can he support the cigarette in his hand? Although his habits are a little flawed, his teaching method is worth learning from by all educators. He is not a professor who is praised as a god, but a teacher with real knowledge. If he has the opportunity to listen to his lectures, he will understand and accept his special habit.
In fact, Professor Wang is not a person who loves cigarettes. His habitual movements during class are like this: after lighting a cigarette, he started teaching with just one sip. The cigarette was sandwiched between his fingers and burned slowly. After a few minutes, he seemed to remember the cigarette, took another sip, and threw it away immediately.
He often takes two or three puffs of a cigarette, and when he throws it away, at least half of it is left.
Professor Wang often says an opening remark in class: You are not waiting for me, you are waiting for philosophy!
knows how to stop when you are ready, and is so knowledgeable and humorous. It is impossible for such a teacher to not like it.
