In 2020, a classic masterpiece "Native China" full of homesickness will be given to all freshmen as a gift book. A message to freshmen is "take root in the homeland and grow up firmly." Our textbook also chose Native China as the whole book. Why do we refuse to read Native China?
I want to lead students to read Fei Xiaotong's Native China. First, I read Fei Xiaotong's author profile. In this very formal resume, I saw Fei Lao's "studying in Suzhou Zhenhua Girls' School in his early years" and suddenly wondered what it was like. Then it leads to Fei Xiaotong's love and marriage experience, and suddenly feels that he has entered Fei Lao. I think this should be the starting point of "knowing people and discussing the world", so let's walk into Fei Xiaotong, the founder of sociology and anthropology in China.
Fei Xiaotong was sent to a girls' school of an acquaintance principal because of his cowardice since childhood. His mother is afraid that he will be bullied. However, a boy was still discriminated against when he went in and out of a girls' school. The girl nicknamed him "Little Waste" because of his surname, which made Fei Xiaotong have a strong desire to find out why his surname was Fei. His mother said that her last name was Fei before she married her father. This question made Fei Xiaotong, who originally liked the Chinese Department and wanted to be a writer, have a conversation in front of the booth of the Sociology Department, thus forming a lifelong relationship with the Sociology Department of yenching university:
Teacher Yang Kaidao of Sociology Department asked Fei Xiaotong: What major do you want to study?
Fei Xiaotong asked the old man, what problems can sociology solve?
The old man seemed to see through his mind and asked him, "What's your name, classmate?"
"surname fee."
Mr. Yang casually replied, "This major can solve the problem of why your surname is Fei."
So Fei Xiaotong entered the sociology department.
Fei Xiaotong later left the girls' school, but it was during this period that Fei Xiaotong got to know Jiang Yang and fell in unrequited love. Later, the two met again in Tsinghua campus, but Jiang Yang rejected Fei Xiaotong, and soon fell in love with Qian Zhongshu at first sight, leaving a super love of talented people and beautiful women.
Fei Xiaofei later met his first wife, Yang Tonghui, and they met and fell in love in a quarrel. In order to facilitate the two of them to go to Guangxi Yao nationality to investigate, overcome many difficulties, mingle with the villagers, help the villagers, gain trust, and gain a lot from the investigation. When Wang Tonghui and Fei Xiaotong rushed to the next location, they got lost in the mountains. Fei Xiaotong also fell into the trap of hunting wild animals, and his feet were hurt by hands and wood. Wang Tonghui was pregnant at that time, but he still tried to save Fei Xiaotong. Fei Xiaotong could no longer walk, so she put him in a hidden place and groped for help by herself. Unfortunately, because it was too dark, Wang Tonghui came again. Fei Xiaotong was saved by the villagers. Seven days later, Wang Tonghui's body was found. At this time, they have been married for more than three months. In the face of his wife's sudden early death, Fei Xiaotong was heartbroken. For various objective reasons, he buried Wang Tonghui in Yaoshan. Separation of yin and yang. Sadness and leg injuries made him want to die.
After listening to my sister's advice, I went back to my hometown to recuperate. His research began to pay attention to rural industry. In the fourth year after Wang Tonghui's death, Fei Xiaotong was introduced by his eldest brother to a rural girl named Mengyin. Although Mengyin is not as highly educated as Wang Tonghui, she has the kindness and simplicity that Fei Xiaotong appreciates. That year, they formally got married until 1994, when they died in Mengyin. She took care of Fei Xiaotong in life and relieved his worries. Fei Xiaotong also spoke highly of his wife, who also gave birth to a daughter for Fei Xiaotong.
It was Meng Ke who took care of Fei Xiaotong's rear that he was able to devote himself to academic research and wrote many influential works. His book jiang village economy became a milestone in anthropological field investigation and theoretical development. He became a great sociologist in China. In the following years, whether it was happiness or hardship, Mengyin never gave up and stayed with Fei Xiaotong. In this way, two people spent 55 years of marriage.
Fei Xiaotong's legendary love and marriage is divided into three parts: Jiang Yang is Fei Xiaotong's first love or unrequited love, Wang Tonghui is Fei Xiaotong's love for life and death, and Mengyin is Fei Xiaotong's lifelong companion.
Rough life, in exchange for a happy old age and works of equal size.
