Chapter 232 If it's boring to listen to the class, you don't have to listen to it
Peking University. The law building was donated and built by Mr. Shaw, a well-known Hong Kong, and funded by the State Education Commission. It was delivered for use in March 1993. Although it has been used for nearly 20 years, compared with those old teaching buildings with a history of nearly 100 years, the law building is relatively new in Peking University.
When Fan Fei went to the first class of law school, he was somewhat worried, because the legendary law professors attached great importance to classroom discipline. After all, law is the strictest discipline. In this way, let alone skipping class, even reading idle books in class may also be severely criticized by professors.
Thinking of this, Fan Fei suddenly regretted choosing the law department, and even regretted coming to college. This may be because after having potential, Fan Fei can easily self-taught most of these liberal arts theories that only need to be memorized. He spent four years here to learn some legal theories, which really made him feel that it was too wasteful, so he wondered whether to find Zhang Yu to say hello to these teachers so that he could I want to skip classes to make college life easier.
However, the head teacher's words immediately relieved Fan Fei.
This time, Fan Fei's head teacher is also a female teacher, Song Shushuang, who is an associate professor of civil law courses.
Song Shushuang is in his thirties. His face is like a full moon, and he is relatively watery. Although Xu Niang is half old, she still has charm. She speaks and does things quietly, and sometimes likes to be humorous. Although she is not as young and beautiful as He Qingmei, it is said that she is also very popular in law school, and even has the reputation of "double queens".
Of course, this queen is not the queen with a cold and gorgeous temperament, but a famous temperament and aristocratic style.
It is said that Song Shu Shuang's paper is very powerful. Every year, he can publish more than ten papers in well-known legal journals across the country and even the world. Among them, no less than five papers are published in the well-known legal journal "Chinese and Foreign Law" founded by Peking University alone.
What's more, it is said that Song Shushuang never exploits and exploits students' research results. All the papers are conceived and written by herself. Even a large number of paper materials are done by herself, and almost no help from students, even if they run errands to check the materials.
For this kind of really talented and elegant teacher, students are still prone to worship, not to mention Song Shushuang is relatively beautiful and gentle. Because of this, Song Shushuang enjoys such a high popularity in law school. Although she is more willing to devote herself to learning, the dean still appointed her as the head teacher for several terms.
Fan Fei felt that Song Shushuang looked a little like the Taiwanese writer San Mao, especially his temperament and personality, so from the first impression, he had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with the double queen.
"There are three provincial liberal arts top freshmen in our law school this year, and there is one in our class. His name is Fan Fei, and he is the first in liberal arts in Tiannan Province. Beyond Fan Fei's expectation, Song Shushuang brought Fan Fei out in the first class.
Fan Fei had to stand up with a smile on his face. In the surprised and envious eyes of the students, he nodded to the new students and almost bowed three times.
Although Song Shushuang democratically asked the students to select the first class cadre, and Fan Fei also humbly said that he did not have the ability to be a class cadre, since the Double Queen introduced Fan Fei grandly, the students' votes were relatively concentrated, and Fan Fei was finally pushed to the position of study committee member and became a "member Fan". .
Fan Fei's face was full of smiles. He seemed to be very happy and gloriously took office, but he complained in his heart, because the study committee members are generally responsible for attendance and classroom discipline. In this way, it would be too difficult to lead by example in class and reading idle books, let alone skipping classes?
Fortunately, Song Shushuang's next words made Fan Fei both surprised and relaxed.
"I like to go straight, so I'll go straight. First of all, I want to tell you a piece of good news. Our university will not emphasize classroom discipline and cramming teaching like middle school, so it is much freer and easier, and Peking University is no exception. Song Shushuang said bluntly, "In college, we put more emphasis on the consciousness and free choice of personal learning, and our law school is no exception. Although we don't recommend students to be late, if you are late and worry that it will affect the listening of teachers and classmates, you can choose not to come in and go to the library to read books, or go to the unnamed lake to listen to birds and smell the fragrance of flowers. If you don't come to class, no one will remember your absenteeism.
After listening to this passage, smiles appeared on the students' faces. Fan Fei felt extremely relaxed, and of course, he was also a little surprised.
"Legal knowledge emphasizes theory and rigor, so it inevitably sounds a little boring. If you think it's boring to listen to the class, it's very simple. You can choose not to listen to it. It's nothing. I can't guarantee other teachers. If it's my civil law class, if you think it's boring, you don't have to listen to it. Otherwise, it will become a kind of torture for you and me in class..." Song Shu said something shocking to his classmates again with a quiet smile on both sides.
Even Fan Fei felt that his head was a little short-circuited for a moment. He knew that the university was relatively free, and Peking University was more free, but he didn't expect to be so free - as a head teacher, he actually agreed and even encouraged students to be absent from class!
Song Shushuang looked at the students who opened their mouths in a daze, smiled and said another sentence: "But I still have two suggestions. First, respect knowledge and respect teachers, that is, respect yourself, and respect your hard work in the past ten years, respect the four years you have spent in college, and respect you. The future life as a legal person in the next few decades. Second, you may not like to listen to lectures, but you must read more books and listen to lectures frequently!"
After listening to these two sentences, the students understood that Song Shushuang was playing a game of restraint and then trying to be captured, so they were relieved - it turned out that the Queen of the Doubles still hoped that the students would study hard and maintain good discipline. What she said could be absent from class was just a smoke bomb.
It is not surprising that students understand Song Shushuang's words so well. After all, in the students' inertial thinking, no teacher will tolerate absenteeism. Because of this, in the following month, almost no students were absent from class, except for Fan Fei and Gu Tianxiang.
Fan Fei and Gu Tianxiang took only a week to complete the textbooks of this semester by themselves, and have a relatively intuitive understanding of the origin and development of law. After that, the two began to be absent from class.
Because of what the two queens said in the first class, the degree of absenteeism between the two of them can only be described as unscrupulous. For half a month, the students have not seen their study committee members in the classroom...
The students who are honest in the classroom naturally despise Fan Fei and Gu Tianxiang, but they don't know that Fan and Gu are best executed and understand the two suggestions of Song Shushuang.
Although Fan Fei was absent from class, he did not go to play, but took Gu Tianxiang to the Peking University Library to read books. In addition, he went to listen to various lectures, which also arranged his time every day.
That is, through this half-month absenteeism, Fan Fei really realized the deep meaning of the words of the Double Queens - classes are learning step by step, while reading and listening to lectures freely can truly open up wisdom, from the cramming education of "I want to learn" to the independent learning of "I want to learn".
Fan Fei is now eagerly absorbing knowledge nutrition and quickly adapting to this new way of learning and life.
Fan Fei has always respected knowledge, including legal knowledge that seems boring. Because he knew that knowledge could change his fate, just like the hypnotic knowledge he learned, it easily changed the fate of his life.
As for these seemingly boring legal knowledge, they are also the lifelong painstaking efforts of their predecessors, and even the essence of human civilization that they introduced and defended from the West at the cost of blood and life.
In a sense, legal knowledge has laid the foundation of modern society. Without the term of office system of the president stipulated in the constitution, perhaps the current state of China is still a hereditary system similar to the emperor's inheritance...
In the thousands of years of history of China, it has always only emphasized the rule of man, but not much attention to the rule of law, so it has always been turbulent. This point has not changed until modern times. In recent years, the slogans of "the rule of law is not the rule of man" and "rule of law" have also been put forward. Of course, these slogans are still slogans to some extent. It has not been fully implemented and realized, and there is still a long way to go.
In the process of promoting the rule of law, Peking University plays a very important role as a seed bank of thought.
In the law education in China, Peking University Law School has the longest history. In 1898, Beijing Normal University Hall, the predecessor of Peking University, was born in the new trend of Wuxu. It is the first high school in China. From the beginning, Beijing Normal University has a law course in the third "Advanced Political Science". From the beginning of its establishment, Peking University has been committed to introducing the relatively perfect concept of using law to govern the country in the West and the corresponding legal system, in an attempt to reverse the situation of human governance in China.
However, the efforts of Peking University have been interrupted by many historical events and almost destroyed. It is only with the efforts and persistence of Peking University that some of the results have been preserved.
When Pingjin fell in 1937, Peking University, Tsinghua University and Nankai University were ordered to move south to form Changsha Temporary University in Changsha. In the spring of 1938, he moved to Kunming and changed its name to National Southwest United University. During this period, not only did they lose a lot of precious books and research results, but also some teachers and students in the Department of Law went to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, which also damaged many legal elites.
In May 1946, the Southwest Associated University ended and the three schools were demobilized. After Peking University moved back to Beiping, the Department of Law, the Department of Political Science and the Department of Economics merged into a law school. After that, I encountered the Liberation War. Fortunately, Peiping was peacefully liberated and Peking University was safe and sound. Only from 1957 to ten years before the havoc, due to "anti-rightist", "anti-rightist" and "great leap. With the increase of political movements and labor, the normal teaching and scientific research activities of the Department of Law have been impacted, and the political color has become stronger. Law has begun to change and is forced to compromise.
It's just that the disaster is not over, and the real cruel blow after that comes from the ten-year catastrophe. In those ten years of turmoil, breaking the old order was the mainstream. The three institutions of public security and law as the maintainers of order were smashed and the social order was destroyed. As the cradle of the transportation of public security and law personnel, the law departments of various universities have been seriously impacted, and most of them have been revoked, and Northern Nature is no exception.
In 1970, Peking University announced the decision to abolish the Department of Law. In that special era, all the faculty and staff of the law department risked their lives and united, constantly argued for reasons, and even fought at the cost of their lives. In the end, the law department was preserved and became one of the only two political court departments in the country that was free from dissolution at that time.Because the teaching staff were held together, they were basically not forcibly dispersed in the end, and the books and materials were basically not lost. They saved strength for the resumption of teaching and research in the future, which can be regarded as a kind of fire.
Of course, the loss is also heavy. From 1966 to 1971, the Department of Law did not enroll students or other forms of teaching activities, and legal research and teaching were suspended.
In 1972, a group of teachers were committed to returning to normal teaching work just after being rehabilittled. First, a short training class for Beijing municipal law and public security cadres was held, followed by a training course for municipal law cadres in five provinces in North China. In 1973, 36 faculty members of the Department of Law of Huaxia Renmin University were merged into the Department of Law of Peking University. When the Department of Law of Huaxia Renmin University was restored in 1978, the vast majority of them returned to Huaxia Renmin University. From 1974 to 1976, the Department of Law enrolled more than 150 workers, peasants and soldiers for three consecutive sessions, and held a number of cadre training courses at the same time, which contributed to the restoration of legal education and the construction of the legal system.
After Fan Fei read the history of the law school, he came to a conclusion - Peking University. The law school is great and has left a precious fire for the rule of law in the turbulent times.
And these histories are basically not mentioned in the classroom of the law school. Fan Fei also consulted relevant historical materials in the Peking University Library.
Fan Fei finally chose Peking University for himself. The law school felt a little proud and happy.
He also made a decision that some classes must be listened to.
Because he saw a familiar name in the historical materials, he decided to listen to the old man's class tomorrow.
