Lv Qiaoping
[Preface] Mr. Liao Fujun (1895-1971) was a professor of German at the w88 casino. The golden autumn of 2021 coincides with the 70th anniversary of the University of Economics and Business. I would like to write "A Brief Biography of Mr. Liao Fujun" in the name of Mr. Liao Fujun's disciple,[1]Looking back at Mr. Wang’s path of exploration to encourage future generations to persevere. It's the order.
Mr. Liao Fujun, named Xianlan, courtesy name Fujun,Born on August 23, 1895 in Zizhong, Sichuan.
Liao Chengfan (?, the father of Liao Fujun-1937) served as the magistrate of Rizhao County, Shandong Province in the late Qing Dynasty. He admired the German-style education in Shandong Province, so he sent Liao Fujun to Qingdao to study. Liao Fujun has been learning German since he was 15 years old，Students at Qingdao Dehua Special College[2]（1910-1912.03) and Shanghai Tongji German Medical and Engineering w88 casino[3]（1912.04—1913.12). In March 1914, Liao Fujun arrived in Berlin, Germany, to study abroad at his own expense. Liao Fujun was one of the self-financed German students during the Beiyang government period (1912-1918).
While studying in Germany (1914.03-1922.05), Liao Fujun first studied mechanics at the Technical University of Berlin (1915.09-1916.06) and the Technical University of Munich (1916.09-1917.03)，After that, he gave up work and studied literature and studied at the University of Berlin (1917.09-1919.06) studied German literature and obtained a certificate of graduation. In 1921, Liao Fujun and Lilli Wehling (1902-1976) in Berlin[4]Get married.In May 1922, Liao Fujun and his wife returned to China. Liao Fujun was one of the early German students who returned to my country.
After returning home, there was a melee between warlords. Liao Fujun returned to Zizhong, Sichuan, and studied Chinese literature with his father (1922.05—1924.07). In August 1925, Liao Fujun came to Shanghai. By August 1927, he worked as a German translator in two companies.
In 1926, Liao Fujun started his German education career as a part-time German teacher at Tongji University. In the history of German education in my country, Liao Fujun, together with Shang Chengzu (1899-1975), Zhang William (1902-2004) and Feng Zhi (1905-1993), belong to the first generation of German teachers in my country.
In September 1927, Liao Fujun officially joined Tongji University, where he taught26Year(1927.09—1953.03). Liao Fujun witnessed the early development history of Tongji University. He experienced the ten years of development of Tongji University after it was taken over by the National Government (1927.08-1937.07), the inland migration after the all-out Anti-Japanese War and the Lizhuang period (1937.07-1945.09), the recovery after returning to Shanghai (1945.09-1949.09) and the period of adjustment of colleges and universities across the country (1949.09-1953.03).[5]Liao Fujun has held various positions. He once served as the principal’s German secretary and the principal of the attached middle w88 casino (Served from 1941.09 to 1944.06), Director of the Freshman w88 casino (Served from 1948.09 to 1949.06), Chairman of the w88 Union (Served from 1951 to 1953) and Director of the Library, etc. Before and after the liberation of Shanghai, Liao Fujun played a role in some major w88 casino affairs: since 1947, he participated in the w88 casino administrative meetings as a professor representative; in 1949, he was elected as a director of the w88 casino professors' association. In addition, he also served as a German professor at Suzhou Surveying w88 casino (on the job from October 1947 to November 1948). After the liberation of Shanghai, under the order of the Ministry of Education in East China, Liao Fujun assisted the Ministry of Industry in taking over German-owned enterprises and cleaning up German documents. Liao Fujun is one of the famous teachers in the history of Tongji University.
While at Tongji University, Liao Fujun had already made considerable achievements in Chinese-German translation and German grammar research. There are two signs: 1. Liao Fujun translated the works of Lu Xun and Chairman Mao Zedong.After 1927, Liao Fujun completed the German translation of Lu Xun's novel "The True Story of Ah Q", which was the earliest attempt to translate Lu Xun's works into German;[6]In 1950, Liao Fujun translated Chairman Mao Zedong's article "On the People's Democratic Dictatorship" into German,[7]This played an important role in the external dissemination of Mao Zedong Thought; 2. Liao Fujun published his first monograph "A Brief German Grammar" (1950），[8]This book is one of the earliest German grammar books written by a Chinese.
atIn the context of the nationwide restructuring of colleges and universities in 1952, in March 1953, Liao Fujun was transferred to the Beijing College of Foreign w88 (the predecessor of the University of Economics and Business),[9]For the rest of his life, Liao Fujun was engaged in German teaching and research at the University of Economics and Business, where he taught18 years (1953.03-1971.04). Liao Fujun is a veteran of the University of Economics and Business and one of the founders of the German Department of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages.
At the University of Economics and Business, Liao Fujun actively participated in the construction of the w88 casino. He served as the leader of the German teaching and research group and the director of the foreign language department. He trained Liao Zhongpei (1925—1983）[10]Waiting for the younger generation of teachers.In 1959, Liao Fujun was elected as an advanced worker in Beijing due to his outstanding educational achievements. In addition, Liao Fujun also participated in political consultation activities: in 1958 and 1963, Liao Fujun was twice elected as a deputy to the Beijing Municipal People's Congress; in 1960, Liao Fujun participated in the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference as a special representative.
At the University of Economics and Business, Liao Fujun reached his academic peak, which was marked by three things: 1. Liao Fujun became a master of German grammar research in my country.In 1959, he published his masterpiece "German Grammar". In 1979, after being updated by Liao Zhongpei, "German Grammar (Revised Edition)" was published.[11]Since then, "Brief German Grammar" (1950), "German Grammar" (1959) and "German Grammar (Revised Edition)" (1979 edition, last printed in 1999) constitute a series of monographs, which have had an impact on German teaching in my country for nearly half a century and have become classics in the history of German language subjects in my country; 2. Liao Fujun developed my country's local German teaching materials. In the 1960s, Liao Fujun compiled "Basic German Textbook" (1960, 1966),[12]This is one of the complete sets of German textbooks compiled by the Chinese before the Cultural Revolution; 3. Liao Fujun has become one of the authorities in the field of Chinese-German translation.In 1961, after revision by Liao Fujun, the second edition of the German translation of Chairman Mao Zedong's "On the People's Democratic Dictatorship" was published. In addition, Liao Fujun serves as a reviewer for the Marxist Compilation and Translation Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Liao Fujun was good at both oral and written translation. As a translator, Liao Fujun participated in some major state events, such as the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1956 and the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1959.
Liao Fujun has been engaged in German education for 45 years. He has been working on the front line of teaching and has trained a large number of talents. His students are spread across all walks of life. During the period of Tongji University, German was the w88 casino's first foreign language and teaching language. Therefore, students who enrolled at Tongji University from 1927 to 1952, regardless of their majors in medicine, engineering, science, law or literature, may have listened to Mr. Liao Fujun's lectures. Liao Fujun's students are full of talents, such as Li Guohao[13]He Qiu Fazu[14]. During his time at the University of Economics and Business, most of Liao Fujun's students were engaged in foreign w88 after graduation, and some were engaged in German education, such as Sun Lizhu[15]. Liao Fujun made great contributions to national construction and education.
Mr. Liao Fujun is gentle and elegant, tireless in teaching, rigorous in scholarship, and possessing both political integrity and talent. He has won unanimous praise and respect from teachers and students. inIn the 1950s and 1960s, Mr. Liao Fujun gained a high reputation in the German education community in my country.
On April 11, 1971, Mr. Liao Fujun passed away in Beijing at the age of 76.
Demon Mr. Liao Fujun laid the foundation for German education in the University of Economics and Business, and this field eventually became fertile soil.
To this day, on the land cultivated by Mr., the peaches and plums are fragrant and the fruits are abundant.
In addition to the auspicious occasion, I feel grateful for Mr. Moisturizing things silently.
Remember it and remember it forever.
