Love has always been the most beautiful thing in the world, no matter which era there are countless touching love stories, the Yuan Dynasty poet Yuan Haowen once wrote in a poem: "Ask what is the love of the world, and teach people to live and die together." The white head and the old man are the best endings of all love stories, and Dai Jianye is such an infatuated lover.
Since ancient times, China's literati have had the backbone of not bending their waists for five buckets of rice, and their noble character has been talked about for thousands of years. However, with the development of the times, the cost of education has gradually decreased, and the books that were previously only available to rich people have now become compulsory education, which has increased the number of mainland literati sharply.
Many people are difficult to maintain their past traditions, but fall into the abyss, make money in various ways, and after being discovered, they have attracted criticism on the Internet, which has a negative impact on the entire literary team. It is undeniable that some people are indeed the scum among the literati, but some of them have deep reasons for making money, such as 64-year-old professor Dai Jianye, who also gave up the traditional literati, but behind all this is for his beloved wife.
Born in 1956 in Macheng, Hubei Province, Dai Jianye is 64 years old this year, studied at Southwest Normal University and Central China Normal University when he was young, and after graduation, he took up a position in the Chinese Department of Central China Normal University, teaching ancient literature, and he also served as a visiting professor at many universities with excellent professional knowledge. Dai Jianye's main research direction is traditional culture and classical poetry, and he has published many professional papers over the years, which have made significant contributions to the academic community.
Unfortunately, Dai Jianye's efforts did not make him successful, but he almost lost his job, mainly because his Mandarin was too unsatisfactory. In the new century, China has always emphasized Mandarin, and the dialects of both teaching and scientific research have gradually disappeared, and in this case, Dai Jianye's crappy Mandarin has had a great impact on his career, and even missed the famous "Hundred Tribunes". At that time, the principal once wanted to transfer him out of the teaching post to do administrative work, and Dai Jianye asked the principal: "If I don't speak Mandarin, how can you understand what I say", which made him stay in the teaching position.
Dai Jianye's teaching style is witty and humorous, and his classroom atmosphere is the best among many professors, and students call his class "mudslide in the university curriculum", which shows his love for him. Dai Jianye liked analogy in his lectures, and when he said that Cen Shan's poem "Immediately meet without paper and pencil, and report peace by means of Jun's words", he used his own example, saying that Cen Shan had just married his wife and went to war, and he was reluctant to change it.
The style was very flattering, and the students gradually uploaded his courses online, and netizens loved the old professor's style, and soon he accumulated a large number of fans. After Dai Jianye became popular, he went around participating in commercial activities, and in just two years, it is said that he has earned 10 million yuan. Many netizens have accused Professor Dai Jianye of his behavior, criticizing him for having no literary style and no lower limit for money, and for a time he was under tremendous pressure from public opinion.
It is true that Dai Jianye has been making money around for two years, but the reasons behind it are little known. His wife had cancer in the early years and had to be treated continuously, and the drugs he took were as high as 50,000 yuan per bottle, and he could only eat for one month, and he could not afford such a high expense with his personal salary. The relationship between the two couples in the early years was not as strong as it is now, and Dai Jianye would not take the initiative to comfort his wife when they quarreled, but after his wife fell ill, Dai Jianye found that the other party was the most important person in his life, and he would say to his wife at the bedside every day: "Baby, I love you."
In order to make money and treat diseases, he had no choice but to choose this path, and at the same time, many rumors on the Internet also reached Dai Jianye's ears, and some people even threatened to cut off his financial road for human flesh. For these Dai Jianye clearly said that he did not care, he only needed to do his part, as for how others thought about it. However, there are still many good people in the world, and people have expressed their support for Professor Dai Jianye after learning about the actual situation, and everyone thinks that he is an old professor who cares about his family and humor.
In fact, before becoming popular, Dai Jianye was not rich, in order to treat his wife, he even sold a house worth 5 million yuan, his daughter also worked abroad and had no time to take care of her parents, he took care of his seriously ill wife alone, and life was very difficult. But he dared to challenge himself, put down the shelf and run around to make money, which is also a manifestation of the literati style.
Throughout history, we will find that the ancient Chinese literati were always discouraged, because they devoted their lives to academic research, and this academic knowledge did not directly bring monetary benefits, and the literati have been very emotional since ancient times, they can give up everything for scholarship, but they do not care to do anything for money. What is more crucial is that the literati generally have their own spiritual homeland, and the lack of material aspects will not affect their mentality, but will stimulate their enthusiasm for creation, which is the real reason why the literati are generally depressed.
With the development of the times, the situation of the literati should also change, and society should give more attention and rewards to these people who focus on scholarship, who have supported the backbone of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. At the same time, Professor Dai Jianye's life is full of hardships, but he still faces it with optimism and finally successfully solves the problem. From his story, we can see that we should not give up hope at any time, and at the same time, do not be disturbed by the outside world, and strengthen our belief that one day we will succeed.
