Chapter 44 Teachers and Students
Wang Defu's "The Submission Status of Women" actually not only reveals the current situation of women being discriminated against in all aspects of today's society, but also writes about his ideal state of getting along between men and women, which can be said to have resonated with Chen Qingyan's soul.
It can be said that "has confirmed the soul and met the right person."
This is also one of the important reasons why Chen Qingyan felt that she must meet this strange man in person.
Wang Defu wrote in his essay—
"When they love each other, they are not very different from the beginning, often participate in the same things, assist each other with their compassion, and at the beginning they are interested in things that are only interested in the other person, and they have a potential ability to gradually assimilate their interests and personalities, partly due to the two daily life changes that each person does not realize, and more because the two are truly fulfilled.
Everyone adds the interest and ability of another person to their own interests and ability. This often occurs between two homosexual friends who are very close to their daily lives.
In marriage, if this is not the most common phenomenon, it is also a very common phenomenon.
It is almost impossible for two completely different men and women to form a truly desired marriage.
If this problem is solved, personal interests may be different. As a general rule, at least in terms of major life goals will be completely consistent.
When both of them care about big goals and help and encourage each other in whatever matters, the interests in small things may be different, which is not the most important thing for them.
A strong friendship has a foundation and a lasting nature, which is the greatest possibility of anything else that makes everyone create for another person in their lifetime, and is much greater than the happiness they receive.
Both parties are educated and talented people, their opinions and goals are the same, and there is the best kind of equality, similar power and ability, and mutual advantages between them, so they can enjoy the fun of being led and being led alternately in the development of both parties."
Obviously, Wang Defu hopes that women’s submission status will truly become equal status between women and men. There is no dispute over subordinates. He hopes that women can share ideals and pursuits with men.
This premise is naturally that women must have the same right to education as men, and they must also receive real elite education, rather than educating them on the "three obediences and four virtues", but just become accessories to men.
Of course, Wang Defu's idea is indeed very ideal and unrealistic, so such things may only appear in the writing.
After reading this essay that Wang Defu has not completed, Chen Qingyan felt that it had completely expressed what he really wanted to express, and it was more profound and organized.
This strong resonance made Chen Qingyan feel as if he had harvested a treasure from the sky, and the person who gave her the treasure was Wang Defu, who had never been masked but had already been impressed.
In the eyes of other women, Wang Defu may be just a talented man with great literary talent, but in Chen Qingyan's eyes, Wang Defu is clearly a thinker. His article "Listen to the Snow Night" is just a path he plays with in his spare time.
After Chen Qingyan replied from a long shock, he began to write a reply to Wang Defu with a stir.
Chen Qingyan said that she had received a letter from Wang Defu, and after reading his letter very carefully, she was deeply impressed by the article "The Submission of Women" he wrote, so she was willing to meet Wang Defu and help him improve such a masterpiece that speaks for women whose right to education is currently restricted!
Chen Qingyan is not the kind of person who likes to be polite, but this time she said a lot of exaggerated words in the letter, and expressed her admiration for Wang Defu between the lines.
Maybe some keen intuition told her that as long as she learns from this strange man, Wang Defu, the things she can gain will definitely be far more than what she can learn in school.
If Wang Defu is a person who likes to be a teacher, then Chen Qingyan is just the opposite. She likes to be a student full of knowledge and wishes to learn all the knowledge she does not understand. She is the kind of student who can empty the teacher.
...
Wang Defu naturally didn't know that the letter he wrote to Chen Qingyan could bring such a great touch to the other party, almost completely awakening Chen Qingyan, who was half awakened.
However, before he received a letter from Chen Qingyan, he received a letter from Ding Mei of Women's Normal University.
Wang Defu still had time to read Ding Mei's letter. After all, he was a friend who had dinner together. The other party had a good relationship with Ling Jingsu. For Ling Jingsu's sake, Wang Defu would not ignore it.
And last time Ding Mei said that she was also interested in philosophy. If she had any philosophical questions, she might ask Wang Defu.
For a guy like Wang Defu, he wishes to ask him more questions, the better. If he can solve the other person's doubts and make the other person's life no longer confused, he will feel very happy.
There are three ultimate problems in life -
who I am?
Where did I come from?
Where am I going?
Wang Defu was not confused at all about these three ultimate questions. His ideal was to be a mentor to the entire human race, but this was obviously not something that could be done in one step, but he could work hard in this direction little by little.
He will do the three ultimate problems of materialism as much as possible-
How to better understand the universe and solve problems about the universe.
How to better understand human society and solve problems about human beings.
How to better understand one's own life and solve problems about life.
Like the essay he wrote, "Women's Submission Status", it can be classified as the second issue. If more and more awakened women are allowed, the development of human society will inevitably be faster.
Wang Defu opened the letter from Ding Mei at this time. The other party's beautiful and round handwriting was actually not as good as Chen Qingyan, but Ding Mei obviously wrote very seriously.
Ding Mei's letter is more lifelike and fragmented, and her writing style is very long-winded. She feels like she is just chatting with Wang Defu and completely aimless, which is also in sharp contrast to Chen Qingyan's refined style.
Of course, Wang Defu prefers Chen Qingyan's style. Why do you talk so much meaningless nonsense?
Ding Mei also said in the letter that Wang Defu only needs to post some more articles in "Studying", and the name of the talented man will definitely be confirmed...
Wang Defu directly skipped all the words touted him, just to see if there are any philosophical questions he could answer.
