Reminiscing about the past: Vigorous and energetic, firm on the green mountains

10It is already freezing cold in Beijing at the end of the month. Old Professor Qin Xuanren was wearing a navy blue suit with a t-shirt underneathVCollared gray sweater. When he saw us, he smiled, shook hands and hugged us. After a brief exchange of greetings, Professor Qin recalled his youthful years with us.

“1950Year, me16When he was young, because his family could not afford to study, he was admitted to the Cadre w88 casino of the Central Ministry of Commerce and came to Beijing. Some people say that I joined the revolution early, but this is actually bragging. At that time, I had no idea what revolution was. I just wanted to make a living, have a job, and go to w88 casino. ”

After several months of training, Professor Qin was assigned to the Ministry of w88 to participate in the confidential work of the "Three Anti Movements". Due to the need to train cadres at that time, he was recommended to study at the Senior Commercial Cadre w88 casino, which is now the predecessor of the w88 casino, Beijing University of Foreign w88. This formed a lifelong bond between Professor Qin and the University of International w88 and Economics.

The entrance exam requires an English composition, "My Hope". "I am not good at English, so I wrote an article in Chinese." When the then principal Li Qiuye saw this, he knocked on the table. Professor Qin remained calm and thought: The files have been transferred anyway, so you can’t let me go.

When the students heard this, they were all impressed by Professor Qin’s courage. Perhaps it was this "fearless" attitude that impressed Principal Li Qiuye. When the teaching reform came later, Professor Qin was appointed as the person in charge of the w88 casino's teaching reform at that time.

For the Foreign w88 College at that time, the teachers, equipment, w88 casino history, etc. were far behind other schools, so the difficulty of educational reform can be imagined. In the face of many difficulties, the secrets of the teachers and students of the college are only two words: strength and hard work. In order to promote the education reform smoothly, the w88 casino set up a second-year foreign language teaching office. Under the influence of each other, teachers tutored students in self-study every night, and the w88 casino provided a midnight snack after tutoring until ten o'clock. Coupled with the collaborative cooperation of w88 casino leaders, logistics and teaching assistants, in the competition that year, the teaching reform performance of the Foreign w88 College surpassed Peking University, China Foreign Affairs University and the w88 casino of Foreign Languages, and Professor Qin was awarded the title of Beijing Model Worker.

The word "desperate" runs through Professor Qin's life. In order to improve the practical teaching ability of teachers at the University of Economics and Business, Professor Qin sought opportunities from the Ministry of Foreign w88 and Economic Cooperation and became one of the earliest teachers from the University of Economics and Business sent to foreign commercial departments to serve as diplomats. When I went abroad, compared with my fellow diplomats, I found that my reading capacity and translation ability were different from others. Professor Qin did not choose to retreat despite the difficulties. Instead, he worked harder to catch up. Affected by the freezing period of Sino-Soviet relations, Professor Qin, who majored in Russian, had already30I haven’t spoken Russian for more than a year. In order to successfully complete the diplomatic mission, Professor Qin picked up the pieces bit by bit,3A few months later, he was able to introduce my country’s reform, opening up, and development to the Soviet Union in Russian.

It is with this tenacity that during his tenure as a diplomat, Professor Qin passed on many first-hand information to the central government, including the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and made contributions to our country's diplomatic cause.

"I ask my students to just work hard is not enough, but to work hard. Only in this way can we produce results and talents."

The students silently wrote down the word "desperately" in their notebooks.

Look at today: Chasing the true heart and practicing simplicity

“We should not talk big about our career. The key is to be responsible and achieve results.”

Professor Qin once served as a senior diplomat at the Chinese Embassy in the Soviet Union, and was appointed as the mainland secretary of Mr. An Zijie, former Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference12, and still continues to work on the front line of my country's diplomatic and security undertakings. But Professor Qin is very low-key. Searching the Internet, there is not even a Baidu Encyclopedia business card, only a series of academic paper topics. His lectures range from central ministries and commissions, state-owned enterprises and the military, to provincial and municipal government agencies, colleges and universities, and even street party members.

When asked why he was so low-key, Professor Qin replied, "I only like teaching and scientific research." In order to better devote himself to teaching and scientific research, he declined invitations to serve as the First Deputy Director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the State Planning Commission, the Director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the State Commission for Restructuring, as well as w88 casino, Shanghai Foreign w88, and the Management Cadre College of the Ministry of Foreign w88 and Economic Cooperation.

Now, already8218249_183012004This is what I started doing after I suffered from terminal cancer and had a successful surgery. Because of his illness, he had a lot of free time, which also gave Professor Qin the opportunity to write books and publish articles. “When a person is alive, there must always be something left behind. The method Professor Qin chose was to combine what he had seen, heard and felt in the past with the reality of China today, formed his own thinking, and published it in order to "leave some good traces." ”

Then how does Professor Qin ensure that knowledge is updated? Professor Qin admitted that he has not yet mastered computers, the Internet and other emerging media methods, so the only channel for receiving new knowledge is books, newspapers and magazines. Every day, Professor Qin will deal with it20A number of books, newspapers and magazines, edit or record the contents related to their own research fields, and seriously consider the impact of each incident on our country's diplomacy. The results of these thoughts were finally reflected in Professor Qin’s academic papers and books.

In addition to scientific research, although Professor Qin no longer holds a teaching position, he has never stopped paying attention to the teaching work of w88 casino. In terms of attitude towards students, Professor Qin advocates strict requirements for students. As he said, "Parents leave their children in our hands, and we have the responsibility to make them better. There should be strict requirements. Even if they scold you at the time, they will definitely appreciate you after graduation." In terms of the setting of the teaching system, Professor Qin believes that the current teaching curriculum for the third and fourth grades is too lax, and recommends adjusting the curriculum and increasing supervision and inspection of teachers' writing of teaching activity lesson plans. In terms of teaching methods, Professor Qin is also thinking seriously about how to effectively improve classroom efficiency. He believes that teaching methods such as strengthening interactive communication and discussion with students in class, urging students to read after class, and focusing on answering questions in class can be adopted.

In addition to scientific research, writing books, and thinking about teaching, what else does Professor Qin have in his life today? Professor Qin thought for a while and said, "I will follow the doctor's advice and take good care of my body. I won't fall down yet. There are still many things waiting for me to do."

"I am now82Years old, if the doctor says I can still do it, I will continue to do it. ”

Waiting for the Ming Dynasty: The inheritance of the fire, eagerly awaiting

“My husband got a lot of language audio tapes when he was a diplomat in Germany. I have always wanted to give them to my classmates in the German department. I also have a lot of Russian books, but because no one was interested, they were later sold for scrap, but the audio tapes are still there.”

Professor Qin mentioned "a pity" several times during the interview.It’s a pity for the first time. It’s a pity that most students now relax themselves and neglect their studies in the third and fourth grade. Professor Qin did not deny the reason we gave "because we want to find a job" and understood it. However, he also pointed out that diligent study and practice are the qualities we should have, and gave us a detailed introduction to the learning methods he believed to be the most efficient.

The second time I say it’s a pity, it’s a pity that our country is losing brains and money. Nowadays, many people choose to study abroad. Many of them do it for the purpose of gilding, and have not learned the real skills that are combined with the reality of our country. There are also some people who do not choose to return home after going abroad, resulting in a serious brain drain. Professor Qin suggested that when young people choose to study abroad, they should have a clear understanding of their future direction and avoid blindly following the trend.

Professor Qin checked his body a few days ago and the doctor told him that there were signs of cerebral infarction. "The first is to get good treatment, the second is not to collapse now, and the third is to find something to do for yourself." He said, "As a person who has been cultivated by the country for a long time, even though he is an old man now,82You are old, but you are still useful, your hand can write, you can still think, you can still provide suggestions to the country, and you can still do what you can. ”

Talking about future wishes, Professor Qin said, "The world is developing faster and faster. I can only keep studying hard and enriching myself so that I will not fall behind. In fact, I have fallen behind. For example, I don't know computers or the Internet. Sometimes I can't open the things you send on your mobile phone. I now hope that someone can take over the work in my hands."
