随 笔

Talking about "eat, drink and play" seems to have nothing to do with the education of Tsinghua Affiliated High School, and how can these four words be talked about in the era of implementing the policy of "education serves proletarian politics and combines education with productive labor"。It may also be that when it is time for an individual to have a comprehensive and creative "eat, drink and play", recalling this aspect of my Alma mater has really had an impact on my life。

Let's talk about eating and drinking first.。

In September 1963, the first month of enrollment, I remember that the board cost was 5.95 yuan, paid at the beginning of the semester。At that time, my mother said that the food cost was lower and told me that students should be more miserable。But when it came time to eat, I felt too far away from home。Once at breakfast, Xie Jianhua told me that it was impossible to eat the dumplings without pickles。My immediate reaction at that time was: even pickles are given too little, if the plan is not good, it is difficult to make a mouthful of salty vegetables。But soon the food cost gradually increased, especially by the second day of the month has reached 13 yuan。It was later learned that students were guaranteed a certain amount of meat per month (three or two meats per week)？To ensure that the food level is higher than that of similar schools is an important part of Wanbang's educational ideology。

In particular, the yogurt incident gave me a deep impression and the important enlightenment of nutrition。It seems that in the second semester of junior high school, the canteen came to sell yogurt "self-employed", and the queue to buy bottled yogurt team and most people's discussions have been mixed together, so the queue is getting shorter and shorter。A classmate who insisted on drinking yogurt in the class deliberately explained to everyone: poor physique from childhood, the need to supplement nutrition。I was afraid of the so-called bad influence, and secretly bought twice。Aaargh!The taste of yogurt and steamed bread is too tempting, but, no, put up with it。After the school leaders learned of this situation, the teacher Gu Hanfen convened a meeting of the class branch cadres in their office (on the second floor), to the effect that this situation is the reflection of the students' one-sided thinking, and said that eating yogurt is beneficial to the health of the students。In particular, Gu teacher finally called for "bold eat it!"This sentence is too deep impression, thought liberation!The long line formed again。

Recall that no matter when and where in my life, I have never had a "left" words and deeds on this issue, which is related to the practice and education of paying attention to student nutrition in the attached High School。So that decades later, when working in a company, the leader made the decision to cancel the manager's meal, at the middle level meeting, I put forward my opinion from the perspective of mental labor more need for high-protein food, not only did not get criticism, but the general manager said to me: you are right, but the chairman's decision, I have no way...And so on。

Let's talk more about play.。

The "play" in the attached middle school of Tsinghua University is high-level, and the essence is to attach importance to aesthetic education。At that time, the Alma mater not only fully implemented the "all-round development of morality, intelligence and physical", but also the attention and practice of the school leaders on aesthetic education. Now no matter how high the evaluation is not too much。I think in the current emphasis on the so-called aesthetic education, even in the art class of middle schools, it is difficult to have such a level of art teachers like Wu Chenglu, Wang Yutian, let alone general middle schools。We have received life-long benefits in this regard: high-quality art, music lessons, wind and string instrument training and so on。Concentrated in the performance of little Dongfanghong, although only a small number of students participated in it, it has a huge impact on the artistic accomplishment of the whole school。

Due to my childhood environmental conditions, I was tone deaf when I was in junior high school, and I could not talk about the contact with Musical Instruments。The first time I saw a violin performance in my life was at the opening ceremony of Affiliated High School in 1963. In the auditorium of Tsinghua University, the new music teacher of Affiliated High School (I can't remember my surname) played solo, accompanied by Teacher Wang Yutian on the piano. The tune was "Sing a Folk Song to the Party".。It gave me a sense of mystery about the instrument。At the beginning of the time, once to the teacher Jiang Nianning home, she took out the violin improvisational play a piece of music (I of course do not understand), Jiang teacher's performance when the form has left an impression in my mind。Since then, there has been a great interest in this foreign instrument。Although the violin was not taught in music classes, the school did offer erhu (now reminiscent of Beijing Erhu) lessons, one for each pair。The strings are connected, which laid a good foundation for me to dare to pick up the violin and play。In particular, I do not know how to practice the violin regularly due to the limitations of the conditions, but I use the rafa of the erhu (index finger string cutting method) to play the violin, and also reached the level of self-entertainment。Later, because he was busy making a living and believed that his level was too low to improve, he put it down。After retirement, I was advised to buy a piano for practice in order to prevent Alzheimer's disease. Not to mention that the addition of an upright piano at home makes me nervous, but I am afraid that I must take into account the impact of its sound on the neighbours。So he picked up the violin again, replaced a higher level of hardware and added a muffler problem was solved。Now close to the level of the year, the need for self-entertainment and the high fear of Alzheimer's disease, I will persist。

Contact with Musical Instruments not only makes the finger and brain activities beneficial to physical and mental health, but also improves the level of music appreciation。When I sometimes listen to my favorite chamber music in what is now the Meng Minwei Concert Hall of Tsinghua University, the enjoyment and sense of sadness cannot be expressed in words。

The years of experience in the High School attached to Tsinghua University (including the period of the Cultural Revolution) have had a comprehensive impact on my life path, and I am grateful for the benefits。
