Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 70 I love my teacher, but I love the truth more

1917 was an extraordinary year for Liang Rengong, the sage of Southern Guangdong.

In terms of diplomacy with Germany, there was an uproar in the courtroom. Liang Rengong supported Duan's approach, saying that he would not only break off diplomatic relations with Germany, but also join the Allied Powers to declare war on Germany to safeguard sovereignty.

However, the "Presidential Palace" forces headed by Li obviously disagreed with this opinion, fearing that Duan Qirui's Anhui faction would become stronger, they said they would suspend the resolution.

The smell of gunpowder was full of gunpowder. Duan Qirui was dismissed from the position of Prime Minister and Chief of the Army. Upon seeing this, the governors of the Anhui provinces under his command demanded the dissolution of the Congress, reform of the constitution, and even declared local independence to intimidate Peiping.

At this critical juncture, it was rumored that Zhang Xun was going to launch the braided army to carry out the restoration, which further stirred up the situation into a pool of muddy water.

Logically speaking, the latter has nothing to do with Liang Rengong, but the problem lies in the fact that Zhang Xun's dog-headed military adviser is his teacher—Kang Youwei, one of the best "businessmen" among the royalists, which made Liang Qichao both heartbroken and chilled. .

The combination of the two troubles made him unable to eat well recently, and his gums were swollen and painful, so he had to rest at home.

Lying on the bamboo chair, Liang Rengong was bored flipping through the book in his hands. At this moment, the door creaked, and a young man came in, closed the door, and walked to his side respectfully.

"Father, are you feeling better?"

This person is Liang Sicheng, the eldest son of Liang Rengong, who will be a famous architect in the future.

Liang Rengong got up and closed the book, pointed to another chair beside him, and asked his son to sit down: "Sicheng, I'm much better now. The trip to Jinmen is going well, is there anything new?"

It is said that the parents of the first child come to practice their hands, and the Liang family is similar. Except for the eldest son, all the other children have baby names, such as the eldest daughter "Baby Sishun", the second daughter "Little Baby Zhuangzhuang", and the second daughter The son is "Yonger", and even the younger son is directly called "Old White Nose" and so on. However, when it comes to Liang Sicheng, there is only one "Sicheng", which seems to be much stricter.

Therefore, when he heard his father's question, Liang Sicheng was still a little cautious and sat upright: "Mr. Yue Han was not disappointed. Our Tsinghua School won No.1 in the North China Games this time, and we also won the championship in the pole vault." .”

The man who can marry the talented Lin Huiyin is naturally not an idle person. In addition to the necessary knowledge, Liang Sicheng was also an athlete when he was studying at Tsinghua University. They are all what he is good at, and he is the favorite student of Ma Yuehan, a physical education professor at Tsinghua School.

Liang Rengong nodded with satisfaction after hearing the results: "You have done a good job. Martial arts are the vitality of the people. The country is established and civilization is maintained. If there is no martial arts, although there is civilization, although there is Wisdom, although there are many people, although there is a vast land, it will not be able to stand on the stage of fierce competition."

"Apart from that, Sicheng, do you have anything else to gain here?"

Liang Sicheng thought for a while, then pondered: "At the sports meeting, I was fortunate enough to meet Professor Cheng Nuo of Peking University through classmate Ye Qisun. I learned a lot of new knowledge, especially the theory of sports sovereignty, which shocked me even more. Not subsided."

"Professor Cheng you're talking about is a great talent. I've heard about it before in the court. I strongly opposed women's bad habits in my early years. I didn't expect that Professor Cheng would coincide with me and walk ahead of me. Liang Rengong stood up and walked down the steps with his hands behind his back: "Chinese women live in the boudoir and never go out. If this trend does not change, China will not be strong one day. With the efforts of Professor Cheng and others, they can go out. Studying is a great progress in national education."

Liang Sicheng also quickly stood up from his chair, and agreed: "Not only that, but a small number of female students will participate in competitive events in this sports meeting, creating a precedent for the development of sports in our country."

"So don't underestimate your sisters and sisters. Their future achievements may not be worse than yours." Liang Rengong turned half of his body and said with a smile: "Sicheng, you must continue to work hard and be a good example for your elder brother." .”

"By the way, Mr. Cai sent an invitation a few days ago, inviting me to attend their spring sports meeting. If you have nothing to do on Friday, come with me. It just so happens that I also know this legendary 'wizard'. "

On the side of Peking University, Cheng Nuo and Cai Yuanpei had some disputes, the reason is actually very simple, it is about the preservation and abolition of military exercises.

According to Cai Yuanpei, military exercises are an important display of military and national education. Learning it can emulate Germany and Japan, train students into qualified soldiers, and achieve the goal of all the people serving as soldiers to defend the country.

Cheng Nuo thinks this is too idealistic, and since Li Zhongtang, a paper painter of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, began to carry out military exercises courses, but the Manchu Qing should die or die, and now decades have passed, the effect is not to say, at least it is It is invisible, which proves that its practical significance is too small.

Cai Yuanpei argues: "The ignorance and political corruption of the Manchu Qing Dynasty made the implementation of military exercises difficult. If it can be implemented smoothly, it will surely cultivate students' awareness of national defense, enhance their physical fitness, and cultivate students to strictly abide by discipline and unite as a team. In the future, it will surely cultivate healthy citizens and take back the power of the country.”

Cheng Nuo stood in the line of the descendants and students, and strongly opposed it. He really didn't want this thing to enter the sports meeting.

"Cai Gong, take the elementary school in our school as an example. The content is just standing at attention, taking a rest and moving forward. The students are not very interested in it, and they are not serious when practicing. The students who walk are pushing and pulling each other. It is tedious and completely ignored. The needs of school-age children, this will only make them lose interest in sports."

The old story was long, and neither of them could convince the other. In the end, Cheng Nuo thought of a compromise, and moved out the most classic eighth set of radio gymnastics.

It's just that there was no broadcast in this era, so Cheng Nuo named it New Gymnastics.

Cheng Nuo was very resistant to this kind of gymnastics when he was studying in his early years. He felt that it was useless to do it, and he would fool it if he could.

But he didn't know the benefits of this thing until he graduated and started working, and he suffered from back pain caused by working overtime for many consecutive days. After only exercising for a week, his body became much lighter.

It's not that some things are useless, but that they haven't reached that age yet, and sooner or later they have to go on the road of soaking wolfberries and annoying hair loss.

As for why you didn't choose the latest ninth set, but chose the eighth set, it is also because the ninth set is too difficult to learn, and it is more laborious to learn, and it is too difficult to achieve standard movements.

In contrast, the eighth set is suitable for people of all ages and different groups. The nine movements cover almost all forms of human activities, and the sequence is also very scientific.

Cheng Nuo believes that the overall effect of this kind of product, which has gathered the strength of athletes from all over the country and has undergone many changes in half a century, is definitely much better than military exercises.

After Cai Yuanpei saw it, he still hesitated, but after Cheng Nuo made the standard moves and taught them to the students, their overall response was much more enthusiastic.

Especially Cai Yuanpei was sweating after doing a few sets: "I have to say that your set of gymnastics is much more scientific than the previous ones. It hasn't been half an hour, and my head is constantly shaking. Wipe the sweat."

Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Cai is more than that. You can see that the attitude of those students is much better than before. The practice is not as strenuous as before. Even if it is not used as a formal course, it is placed before other subjects." Warming up is also good.”

"Zhiyuan, how many good things are you hiding on your body? You can't hide them." Cai Yuanpei picked up a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat, and said with a smile, "The more good things that benefit the country and the people, the sooner you should." take it out."

Cheng Nuo repeatedly agreed, saying that he would also bring the professors from the school over and practice together in his spare time.

Now, a group of old and young teachers have been invited to learn the eighth set of radio gymnastics.

Some people said that they have old arms and legs, and they can't live for a few years. It's useless to practice this, but when they saw that it was an invitation from Cai and Cheng, they bit the bullet and came up.

For this, Cheng Nuo specially found a janitor with a loud voice, stood aside and shouted the beat.

"One two three four. Two two three four"

"Mr. Chen, you have to set a good example for the New Youth editorial office. When stretching, pay attention to raising your arms forward and pay attention to the coherence of your movements."

"Mr. Hong Ming, tell the servant to take a step back so that you don't disturb your chest expansion exercise. If it doesn't work, close your braids, which will affect your body coordination."

"Mr. Shouchang has to be you, your movements are much more standardized, why don't you come to lead the exercises later, you can do better than me."

When they arrived at Lu Xun's place, Cheng Nuo deliberately held his hand to teach him.

Give special attention to this gentleman who is very addicted to smoking and likes to stay up late.

In his early years, his health was relatively good. If he hadn't suffered from tuberculosis in his later years, accompanied by severe emphysema, which caused pneumothorax, and was delayed by Japanese doctors, he would have a high chance of seeing the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

Now that I have the opportunity to make up for it, I naturally have to do everything I can.

"Mr. Yucai, when turning your body, pay attention to take a step with your left foot to the left, and at the same time raise your arms sideways, and keep your feet still when turning your body."

"Right, that's it."

After all, Lu Xun was also a medical student, so he quickly grasped the mystery of it, and he was quick to learn it. He praised Cheng Nuo: "It seems ordinary, but it is actually scientific and effective. Zhiyuan, there is a great knowledge hidden in it. The change of the human body, the energy of the heaven and the earth, you have taught us another lesson."

Originally, these professors were very resistant, but after a few days of practice, they understood the mystery of it, and even an old scholar yelled that the sword had not arrived, so he married another concubine.

Let Cai Yuanpei and others hear it, both helpless and funny.

Suddenly, it became a joke in Peking University, and the male students practiced even more vigorously in private.

As for the reason, even when asked, it is always a joke, and it should not be explained to outsiders.
