A teacher found a washed ink bottle on the chair in class, thinking that the students in this class satirized his empty stomach, so he flew into a rage and threatened the students to testify who put the ink bottle. As a result, someone casually said a student's name, and then the teacher reflected to the school and asked to expel the student. The school also agreed. Of course, the whole class objected to such a funny decision, but the objection was invalid. So the loyal students in this class decided to drop out of school collectively. I don't know which tendon is missing, but the headmaster of the public school actually announced the expulsion of the whole class. This practice was unacceptable to all the students in the school, so they decided to drop out of school in protest.
The headmaster found out that something was wrong and asked Cai Yuanpei, the head teacher of the special class, to mediate. Cai Yuanpei persuaded the students to stop their actions and visit Sheng Xuanhuai, but Sheng Xuanhuai was angry with the students and refused to meet them.
As a result, all the students quit the public school, and Cai Yuanpei felt sorry for the students and left the public school with them. Later, under the mediation of Sheng Xuanhuai, half of the students returned to school, and the other half never gave in. Cai Yuanpei turned to the French Catholic Jesuits in China for help, so that students who did not return to school could continue their studies. Ma is proficient in philosophy, mathematics and astronomy, while Cai Yuanpei teaches Latin. Regarding Cai Yuanpei's request, Ma felt idle and interested in developing education, so he applied to the French church for funding. The church was very efficient and approved it immediately.
1903, funded by the French Catholic Jesuit Scholarship Fund, missionary groups in China provided places, missionaries provided education, and Aurora College was established, with Ma as its president.
1908, after Aurora College moved to the new campus, the Jesuits appointed the French priest Han Shaokang as the principal. On the basis of French bachelor's degree course, Han Shaokang proposed a teaching system including three-year preparatory course and three-year advanced course, and proposed that all subjects except China language should be taught in French from the second year of preparatory course. 1928, Aurora College was renamed Aurora University.
For Japan, who fled from World War II, it was difficult for westerners at that time to understand: Why did Japan commit terrible barbaric atrocities against China, the birthplace of their culture? An island country with an area only equivalent to California, why dare to die with the United States with a national strength of more than ten times?
In the eyes of most westerners, the Japanese are full of puzzling contradictions everywhere: they are polite and barbaric; Loyalty, integrity and scheming; Brave and timid; Diligent and lazy. Fish and shrimp are eaten raw; He knelt on the floor when people were sitting in chairs; To build a house, build a roof first; Turn the key to the left when unlocking; Use a saw not to push but to pull; Crouching instead of standing while striking the iron on the anvil; Words are said backwards, books and newspapers are read backwards (Japanese verbs are after the object); If there is something unclear, say irony; Too polite to you at home, but rude to push on the train; Apologize for killing someone and make a mess at home.
Why is the Japanese way of thinking considered "anti-human" by westerners? Because the Japanese's obedience to "Tao" (a combination of Buddhism, Confucianism, Shinto and Bushido) coexists with animal instinct. In the words of john toland, an American historian, Japanese philosophy is passively materialized, and animalization is philosophizing.
For the Japanese, Americans made a vivid metaphor: the Japanese are like the carp they admire most. It will bravely swim upstream and jump on the steep waterfall, but once it is caught and put on the chopping block, it will quietly wait for death. On the other hand, the Japanese in World War II were also angry with westerners who were "constrained everywhere".
The logic of Japanese robbers goes like this: Why are Americans who plundered land from Indians with liquor, deception and slaughter so indignant at Japanese behavior in China? What is the difference between Japanese occupation of Manchuria and American armed intervention in the Caribbean? Britain and Holland can legitimately occupy India, Hongkong, Singapore and east indies. Why should Japan follow their example in committing crimes?
In the final analysis, the Japanese in World War II were like a new criminal, unable to tolerate the bossing of old criminals, and a blatant defeat with the whole world was inevitable in the end.
