Chapter 353: Continue to run
the school Zhang Xingjiu knew that the first term was called a military academy, but in reality, they only studied for half a year before graduating in a hurry. It could be said to be a short-term training course at best. In the future, many famous generals would emerge from among them, most of whom had fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to make them reach the professional level of the French Military Academy in such a short period of time. If they can improve their mathematics level to such a level in half a year, they will be absolute mathematical geniuses. Unfortunately, there is no such person among them.
Taking these factors into consideration, Zhang Xingjiu also made corresponding adjustments when formulating the course schedule. He did not ask them to learn advanced knowledge because there was simply not enough time.
However, you must lay a solid foundation. Linear differential equations cannot be taught, but you must know trigonometric functions. More importantly, you must know what content is covered by military-related mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering and other knowledge. After you have digested the basics of your current studies, you should know what aspects of your improvement should be made.
Knowing this, you can use the rare free time in your future military career to continue to improve yourself, and use this knowledge to reduce the losses of your own troops and eliminate more enemies.
Not long after he stayed at the military academy, National Guangdong University also made preparations for the opening of the school year. At the invitation of Zhang Xingjiu, Mr. Yixian personally came to the campus and gave a speech to the teachers and students, "The ocean of learning is vast, and the benevolence and sainthood are cultivated. Graduation from university is the beginning; the foundation is solid, the career is established, and the name is established. If you have aspirations, you will succeed; for the benefit of society and the glory of the country, I encourage you to work hard and become stronger."
He also wrote the motto for National Guangdong University: "Broad learning, careful inquiry, careful thinking, clear judgment, and sincere practice."
Afterwards, National Guangdong University officially opened its classes, and Zhang Xingjiu began running back and forth between the two places. He spent most of his time at National Guangdong University managing the daily operations of the school and teaching students, but he also had to find time to do his own scientific research projects and write articles for publication.
In recent years, scientists in Europe and the United States have been very curious, because based on past experience, most scientists' breakout period is only a few years, and the most important achievements in their lives are made in these few short years, and the rest of the time is mostly spent tinkering with these achievements.
However, this practice seems to have lost its effect on Zhang Xingjiu. Ever since he published his first paper in Nature magazine, he has maintained high productivity. Over the past twenty years, he has been able to produce major results that have caused a sensation in the academic community every year. Such a long period of peak has made them extremely envious. What is even more frightening is that even now, there is no sign of a decline in his output.
One scholar said with emotion, "Living in the same era as Zhang Xingjiu is the greatest fortune and misfortune. Fortunately, we can see the academic frontiers continue to move forward every year due to his efforts; but unfortunately, often when you only have a vague idea, Zhang Xingjiu has already published a complete paper, and so easily deprives you of the opportunity to leave your name in the history of science!"
So he solemnly warned other scholars to pay attention to Zhang Xingjiu's research direction. If they found that he was interested in certain fields recently, they'd better change direction. Otherwise, they would work hard for several years but still could not catch up with Zhang Xingjiu's flash of inspiration one afternoon. Such a sense of frustration would be really frustrating.
The rest of the time he goes to Cheung Chau Island to teach military academy cadets. He seldom teaches basic knowledge, but basically tells them what knowledge has played an important role in the military field and in which direction the scientific and technological knowledge in the military field will develop in the future. These courses will point out the direction for the cadets and let them know in which aspects they should improve themselves.
Occasionally, when he had some free time, he would chat with the instructors and students. One day, Feifei found him and talked about National Guangdong University. "Mr. Zhang, haven't you always said that National Guangdong University is still a little weak in the liberal arts and lacks liberal arts experts to serve as the dean of the liberal arts department?"
"Yes, I originally wanted to invite Zhang to work at Guangdong University, but he has something else to do and can't leave for the time being." Seeing Feifei's smile, Zhang Xingjiu understood a little, "Do you have a suitable candidate to recommend?"
Feifei laughed. "Mr. Guo Dingtang and I have a close personal relationship. He has made outstanding achievements in literary creation, epigraphy, document translation, and historical research. A few days ago, I wrote to him and invited him to come to Changzhou Island to serve as a political instructor. He has agreed! I thought that it would be a waste for such a great talent to only give a few classes to the students. Guangdong University happens to be short of people, so can we let him go and teach?"
"That's great. Although Guo Dingtang is young, he is already a well-known liberal arts master in China. It's really a concession for someone like him to be a teacher. It just so happens that the position of Dean of the Liberal Arts Department is still vacant. When he comes to Guangzhou, I will personally invite him to his house!"
Zhang Xingjiu was overjoyed when he heard this. He was in charge of the science department, and the medical school was presided over by Wu Lien-teh's disciples. If he could also invite Guo Dingtang to take care of the liberal arts department, this would be an extremely powerful lineup, and would be top-notch in the country.
After some time, Guo Dingtang really came to Guangzhou, and Zhang Xingjiu immediately came to invite him. Guo Dingtang felt honored to meet Zhang Xingjiu. The two sat down and chatted for a while, and Guo Dingtang readily accepted his invitation. "Mr. Zhou Ping's school-running philosophy has always been deeply in my heart. Now I can follow Mr. Zhou Ping to learn the way of running a school. It is really a great honor."
With Guo Dingtang's help, Zhang Xingjiu could safely hand over the teaching work of liberal arts to him, and the pressure on himself was immediately relieved a lot.
Time quickly came to the new year, and just at the beginning of the year, we received an unfortunate news that Mr. Sun Yat-sen passed away. Someone immediately suggested that the National Guangdong University be renamed Sun Yat-sen University to commemorate Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and the proposal was passed with a high vote.
Soon after, there was a trend of changing the name to Sun Yat-sen University across the country. Wuchang planned to merge the National Wuchang University, National Commercial University, Provincial Medical University, Provincial Law University, Provincial Liberal Arts University and Private Wenhua University to establish the National Wuchang Sun Yat-sen University.
However, to carry out such a large merger, there must be someone who can control the situation to preside over it. Wuchang immediately thought of Zhang Xingjiu. Who in the country is more suitable for this job than him?
He founded Aurora University, assisted in the establishment of Xiamen University, and improved the strength of Peking University and other schools. Not long ago, he presided over the merger of several colleges and universities in Guangzhou into Sun Yat-sen University. He is the perfect choice to be in charge of the merger of multiple schools in Wuchang.
Wuchang immediately sent people south to invite him. Zhang Xingjiu also knew that this matter was of great significance, so he agreed directly despite the fact that he was preparing for another school.
