Chapter 566 Debate
Tsinghua University has a profound foundation. Even though many of its majors were transferred to other universities after liberation, the scale of the remaining majors is far beyond the reach of other universities.
The heritage is not only reflected in academics, but also in cultural construction. Around 1923, Tsinghua University had its own school song.
In 1923, it was still the Republic of China period. At that time, people had to rob to get food at National Tsing Hua University, so some people with good intentions rewrote the lyrics of the school song:
The clang of shovels and the ringing of bells, all the students came to the cafeteria.
A dish of chicken, duck, fish and meat, stir-fried and cooked, everyone picked up their chopsticks and finished all the dishes.
The hungry eater is coming from far away. The hungry eater is coming from far away. There is no food left but his mouth is still open, because he has to grab food to be full.
You grab, I grab, because we have to grab in order to be full.
Some people may think that such a situation would not have happened in the Republic of China, but facts speak louder than words.
Mr. Liang Shiqiu ate in the cafeteria at Tsinghua University for eight years, from the "Secondary" cafeteria to the "Advanced" cafeteria. During this period, he made a bet with his roommate and held a competition, setting a record of eating twelve steamed buns and three bowls of noodles with soybean paste in one meal.
The food in Tsinghua University’s cafeteria was not good at that time, and many teachers complained about it.
After coming to Tsinghua in 1925, physics professor Ye Qisun lived at No. 7 North Park, Tsinghua University, which was originally the residence of foreign professors. A worker was responsible for taking care of his life.
This worker knew how to cook, and several professors who were single or not at home in BJ ate there, so the place became known as "Beiyuan No. 7 Rice Ball."
This group also includes academic celebrities such as Jin Yuelin and Ye Gongchao.
In addition, people with families are not happy to eat in the cafeteria.
After discussion, Zhao Yuanren's wife Yang Buwei and the wives of several professors hired a chef from "Wufangzhai" on March 1927, 3 to open a restaurant on the right side of the Tsinghua campus gate and opposite the South Courtyard, by a small river. There was a small bridge over the river, so it was named "Xiaoqiao Food Club."
But because Yang Buwei was too hospitable, the costs of the restaurant were higher than its revenue, and it closed after a few months.
With the increase in state subsidies, the food in Tsinghua University’s cafeteria improved greatly. By around the millennium, it had become the leader among surrounding universities. Not only was the food delicious, but it was also inexpensive.
Probably because Tsinghua University is a school of science and engineering, the names of the canteens are very science-based, and each one has its own number, from Canteen One, Canteen Two, all the way to Canteen Fifteen.
The canteens in polytechnic colleges are generally like this. Of course, there are also canteens named according to directions, such as the East Canteen, the West Canteen, etc.
At the same time, the canteens of most liberal arts colleges have become more literary, such as the Jiayuan Canteen, Xueyuan Restaurant, Taoliyuan, Dingxiangyuan, Lanhui Restaurant, etc.
Every college student knows the canteens in their school like the back of their hand. For example, which canteen has the best noodles, which canteen has the best eggplant, which canteen has the best tofu pudding, and more importantly, which canteen has more girls eating. Then they take a detour to go there and enjoy the sight of the girls...
There are several restaurants in Tsinghua University now. Du Yanqing led everyone to the faculty and staff restaurant.
The so-called faculty and staff restaurant is not only for faculty and staff to dine in, it is also open to students. The only difference is that the prices are slightly higher than those in ordinary restaurants.
When passing by the restaurant hall, Tang Zhitong took a careful look. The tables and chairs were neatly arranged, but just like the Post and Telecommunications College, there were no benches and everyone ate while standing.
(The picture shows the canteen of National Tsing Hua University in the 80s)
This style continued until the 1980s and 1990s. Even after dining conditions improved, many universities still had students eating while standing in order to save a few minutes for studying.
So, there is a reason why they are successful.
Du Yanqing led everyone to the private room. No one knew how she got there and no one asked.
"Although we have many people, the conditions are limited. We only have four dishes and one soup. Please make do with this meal." Du Yanqing said after everyone was seated.
"Eat whatever you have and don't spend money. These are our food coupons and vegetable money for both of us. Take them first." Classmate Xiao Wang set an example by stuffing two kilograms of local coarse grain coupons and one dollar into Du Yanqing's hands.
"Too many, too many. Just one is enough." Du Yanqing only planned to keep one pound of food coupons and stuff the rest back.
"Don't give in. I have a big appetite, and these may not be enough. You can return the excess and give more later." There were still some uneaten pine nuts in Tang Zhitong's bag, and he took them out now to help everyone kill time.
"That's right, more refunds and less supplements." Led by Xiao Wang, other students stuffed their food coupons and money to Du Yanqing. For a while, there was a lot of hustle and bustle, and it was very lively.
Although they were all childhood friends, they were all grown up now. When they sat down, they tacitly chose to sit next to their own sex. Tang Zhitong sat next to classmate Xiao Wang, and there was an empty seat on the other side.
Tang Zhitong and Xiao Wang distributed the pine nuts first.
At the moment, apart from canned food, there are probably no other pre-prepared dishes, so the dishes are served a little slowly.
While waiting for the food, this group of people, especially the boys, started talking loudly and eloquently.
Due to the encouragement of "the sun at eight or nine o'clock" in front, the generous treatment of talents in the country behind, and the influence of newspaper opinion, today's college students and young people dare to speak out.
Since New Year's Day, second-rate newspapers have been very lively.
All walks of life are thriving and improving across the board; even the city's honeycomb briquettes took up half of the page.
Honeycomb briquettes do save coal, but they are not very effective in keeping the house warm.
As the Tang family has an average per capita income, they still prefer to use the old-fashioned stove. In the winter, they can't rely on shivering or being righteous to keep warm, right?
The newspaper that Tang Zhitong used to hold the pine nuts was a second-rate newspaper he brought back from his workplace. The January 1 edition used several pages to publish news about the Sino-Indian conflict and printed letters from the leaders of the two countries.
Several boys took the newspapers and began to express their opinions on the southwest border issue.
Tang Zhitong was peeling pine nuts for Xiao Wang and just listened quietly, not intending to get involved in the argument between these young people with overflowing hormones.
The issue of the southwestern border cannot bypass the McMahon Line. As for the British, they are always troublemakers and never change their ways. They will dare to do it again next time.
The McMahon Line was a thing of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. Even the despised President Yuan Shikai did not recognize the legitimacy of this line. However, Chen Yifan, the Minister of State for Negotiations who attended the Siam Conference at that time, was a pro-British person who could speak English.
This really ruined the deal. He said he would ask for instructions and declared that his signature was invalid, but he signed it anyway. It was said that he was coerced. He may have some integrity, but definitely not much.
This incident put China in a very passive position. Later, Gu Weijun had to clean up the mess for China, but he didn't do it very cleanly, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many troubles later.
The four young men were full of vigor and vitality, and all advocated war: "We have already fought against the 17-nation coalition, so why should we be afraid of a little Indian?!"
"What are you talking about? The Indians dared to invade Langjiu and Kongkashan. They have been beaten to the doorstep. We should beat them! Beat them until they surrender!"
"Hit the first blow to prevent a hundred blows. Beat Ah San well and peace will be guaranteed there for fifty years!"
…The three of them were chatting back and forth, having a lively time.
"Hey, brother-in-law, what do you think?" After the morning's contact, Wu Aijun felt that Tang Zhitong was not bad. After entering the private room, he sat next to Tang Zhitong. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he nudged him with his elbow and asked.
After hearing this, Xiao Wang looked at Wu Aijun in surprise and said nothing.
"Ah? Me?" Tang Zhitong was stunned. He didn't expect Wu Aijun to call him his brother-in-law. He pulled the newspaper with the letter on the table and told a cold joke: "I see with my eyes."
"Hey, buddy, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but why are you so cowardly at such a young age? What on earth does Wenwen like about you?" Cheng Shaojun didn't get the essence of the cold joke and felt a little indignant.
When Xiao Wang heard this, she raised her eyebrows and was about to retort, but Tang Zhitong patted her leg under the table and signaled her to calm down.
"You all have no vision. Don't you see that your brother-in-law has been helping Wenwen peel pine nuts? You all deserve to be single." Sun Xiaopu's words were still sharp, and he started with sarcasm.
"You girl, you are pretty, but your bad side is your mouth. Be careful that no one will want you in the future." Cheng Shaojun said embarrassedly.
"What is it to you?" Sun Xiaopu didn't buy it at all.
"Hey, buddy, why don't you say something? We want to hear it too." Huo Xiaoping ignored the quarrel between Cheng Shaojun and Sun Xiaopu. These two disliked each other and had been quarreling since they were young, so they were used to it.
"I think the higher-ups must have their considerations. They've all been through hundreds of battles and have seen all kinds of storms. They'll definitely be able to handle them safely." Tang Zhitong said, but it was as if he hadn't said anything.
"Hey, no wonder you are an associate professor at such a young age. Aren't you too cautious?" Cheng Shaojun was not satisfied with Tang Zhitong's answer.
Tang Zhitong was not angry. He smiled and continued to peel the pine nuts in his hand, but he did not stop talking: "Then what should I say? Do I agree with what you just said?"
"That's a plateau, there's no train or car service there, right? Have you ever calculated how far it is from the nearest train station? How do we get the supplies there? How much of each kind do we need? How much manpower and material resources do we need to mobilize to ensure the supply? Have you ever thought about these?"
"Look, I read this newspaper a few days ago. White Hat Ni's tone was quite polite. He was still trying to use 'evidence' to prove that the place was theirs, which meant there was still room for negotiation.
Even if we want to fight, we have to wait until there is nothing left to talk about, right?
How does the saying go? War is a matter of great importance to a state, a matter of life and death, a matter of survival or destruction, and it must be carefully considered.
It’s always better to be cautious.”
“Also, regarding the matter of Lang Jiu and Kong Kazan, I guess we didn’t suffer any loss, and we may even have won.
This happened last year. If I had suffered a loss, White Hat Ni would not have been so polite in his reply. "
Tang Zhitong handed the peeled pine nuts to Xiao Wang, slapped his hands, and prepared to take a break.
Comrade Wu Qingguo died heroically in the Kongkashan Incident, but our border defense team killed 9 enemy soldiers, injured 3, captured 7 enemy soldiers including Lieutenant Singh, the deputy commander of the enemy, and the remaining Indians escaped across the border.
These were all made public later, and there is currently no channel for them to reach Tang Zhitong's level, so he didn't say it.
Tang Zhitong took out cigarettes, distributed them to several male classmates, and continued to talk: "War is not that easy, there are many factors to consider.
It’s just like two brothers fighting over a disagreement, and the loser suffers in silence?
If I lose, I will definitely feel uncomfortable. Should I call on my friends for help or seek justice from the police?
This fight cannot be resolved peacefully. Either the scale of the fight gets bigger and bigger, or one side has to give in and go to jail.
The same goes for war between two countries. We must first consider whether a third party will intervene. What if someone else stands up for Ah San? What should we do?
Only after solving this premise can we consider what strategic goals to achieve if a real war occurs, how to fight, the scale of the fight, to what extent, how long to fight, how to end it, etc. It is very complicated.
That’s why I said, let’s keep it simple, just follow the arrangements and don’t cause any more trouble.”
Tang Zhitong did not dare to say much, for fear that he would not be able to stop the car. He analyzed the self-defense counterattack of Asan in light of the general situation in the world, but he could not say this because a lot of information was not something that an ordinary person could access or understand.
Everyone else was listening quietly to Tang Zhitong's analysis, and for a moment they felt that it actually made some sense.
"So you think there won't be a fight?" Shan Wei scratched his head and asked.
"Hey, who can say for sure about this kind of thing?
Anyway, I think that in this matter, we should stabilize Ah San first and delay the talks for time in this way, which is beneficial for us.
As I said just now, that's a plateau, and altitude sickness can be fatal.
If we delay it a little longer, we can buy more time for our comrades to adapt, which will not only reduce non-combat casualties, but also allow us to transport more supplies over there.
I heard that the temperature in the southwest is very low in winter. I am worried that the white hat nun will overturn the table in winter. If this happens, it will be very disadvantageous to us. "Tang Zhitong was a little involved, sighed, and shook his head.
"Then...what if the other side really attacks in winter? Do we have a good chance of winning?" Sun Xiaopu also put himself in the situation, with a worried look on his face.
"If he really dares to fight, we will really dare to bury him!
If no other major countries get involved, our chances of winning are still very high.
I learned a little history when I was in school, and I also read some later.
The Indians have never fought any large-scale wars, only small-scale conflicts.
Even their independence was achieved through "non-violent non-cooperation".
This model is very interesting. Another way to understand it is that the Indians just lie down and let the British do whatever they want. They can catch or kill them as they please, and if they can't handle it, they can just get out of here.
This laziness and non-resistance is ingrained in their bones.
As early as the time of Emperor Taizong of Tang, two buddies were sent as envoys to the Harsha Empire, which is now the northern part of India.
As a result, there happened to be a rebellion over there, and the members of the delegation were killed, leaving only these two guys.
These two guys are also ruthless people, one is called Wang Xuance and the other is called Jiang Shiren.
After discussing it, the two brothers borrowed 1200 soldiers from Tibet and 7000 soldiers from Nepal, and then fought back.
Guess what?
Three days, just three days, and the Harsha Empire was almost destroyed!
If the White Hats dare to turn the table this time, I think we will be able to defeat them all the way south to New Delhi."
Tang Zhitong became happier the more he spoke. Asan was simply a weirdo in the world. All his skill points were put into acrobatics and unreliability. There were so many things to complain about.
