Wang anecdote.

Wang has the habit of keeping a diary, so it is not surprising that his autobiography "Eighty Readings of Lost House" is an imperial masterpiece. The original book consists of 50 chapters, 6.5438+100,000 words, and records all stages of Wang Yisheng in detail. The version we saw was extracted by Mr. Wang's son, Wang Xuezhe, with only over 200,000 words. Although a large number of historical facts are fleeting, this book finally has a general understanding of Wang's legendary life.

Leave Hongkong for Taiwan Province.

1948165438+1On October 26th, Wang flew from Nanjing to Guangzhou with his family and lived alone with his relatives in Guangzhou. "In two or three months, he wrote more than ten thousand words about his two and a half years in politics." His wife and children stayed in Guangzhou for a few days and then transferred to Hong Kong. 1949 65438+1At the beginning of October, Wang visited relatives in Hong Kong, closely observed the development of the domestic situation and considered his future. 65438+1Go back to Guangzhou to pack up and move to Hong Kong at the end of October. At the beginning of February, the Deputy Secretary-General of "Special Affairs Council" sent a letter from Taiwan Province Province, urging him to go to Taiwan Province. In April, Wang flew to Taipei in the name of visiting his eldest son to study. In fact, he wanted to see if Taiwan Province Province could become his permanent residence. Wang Shijie, Secretary General of the KMT Chairman's Office, contacted him. On the third day of his arrival in Taipei, Wang was called by outgoing President Chiang Kai-shek to visit Yangming Mountain for about five hours. Chiang Kai-shek hoped that he would not stay overseas for long after giving lectures in England. If you want to move to Taiwan Province Province, you can consult nearby or open a small bookstore for publishing. Wang promised to give lectures in England and then moved to Taiwan Province Province. As for running a small publishing house, if necessary, you can start at once. Chiang Kai-shek was satisfied with his statement and promised to give appropriate funding.

In May, Wang started to set up a publishing company limited, and successively invested NT$ 200,000, including 50,000 from him and his relatives and friends, and 6,543.8+0.5 million from Chiang Kai-shek. On February 25th, 65438, the publishing house opened in Hong Kong and Taiwan at the same time, with Wang as the president and several assistants. Although this publishing house is privately run, it is funded by Chiang Kai-shek. Therefore, it is bound to adhere to the anti-* * position on the publishing policy, which Wang himself does not deny. During the period of 1950, Wang's various translations were published by publishing houses, and most of them were propaganda books adapted to the needs of the Cold War, which had little academic value. Although Wang declared that "reference books should be the foundation of maintaining the cause and textbooks should be the auxiliary of the cause", except for the publication of Wang Comprehensive Dictionary in April of the same year, the publication of reference books and textbooks did not achieve much. Due to the unsalable sales of translated and printed new books, the institutions in Hong Kong were forced to cancel on June 5438+0951KLOC-0/2, while the books published in Taiwan Province Province lacked ways to promote them outside the island, and the situation of Chinese publishing houses was quite difficult. From 65438 to 0950, Wang lived in Hongkong and occasionally flew to Taiwan Province to deal with the affairs related to Chinese publishing houses. During his stay in Hong Kong, Wang also wrote many political articles, which were published in the semi-monthly Free China, and published many political articles after moving to Taiwan Province, which was later compiled as Lu Lun Politics.

The establishment of Freeman and the publication of the third issue of Freeman are all related to the organization of Hong Kong China Publishing House. Due to the complete failure of Kuomintang rule in mainland China, some people who emigrated to Hong Kong took a wait-and-see attitude towards the authorities in Taiwan Province Province, and often used the houses rented by Kuomintang to gather in Causeway Bay, pretending to be "free men". Wang was promoted as the convener of "Freeman" because he presided over the affairs of Hong Kong China Publishing House. However, when Free Man was about to be published, Wang decided to move to Taiwan Province province. This is mainly because Chiang Kai-shek resumed the post of "President" on March 1950/0, and the Taiwan Province provincial authorities invited Wang to Taiwan many times, with the aim of reactivating his status as a "social sage", allowing him to continue to play the role of a political vase, and indirectly controlling intellectuals who went to Taiwan from the mainland by using his influence.

195 1 year 1 year, Wang flew to settle down. On June 9, 65438, he was hired as a member of the Design Committee of the Executive Yuan, and in May, he was hired as a national policy adviser to the Presidential Palace, with a monthly salary of NT$ 1000, and the economic benefits were equivalent to secret service. In February 65438, he was appointed as the convener of the first group of "Political Group of the Design Committee of the Executive Yuan", and the other three groups were Zhang Qun, Qiu Yiwu and Zhang Lisheng respectively. In April of the same year, because his daughter was hospitalized in the United States for surgery, Wang wrote to the authorities of Taiwan Province Province to explain the difficulties, and Chen Cheng, the premier, granted a special grant of $65,438+0,000 yuan. Therefore, the Kuomintang authorities paid special attention to Wang and placed high hopes on him to exert political influence. However, although Wang has some honorary positions awarded by the government, he has not yet held a real position, and the feeling of poverty still bothers him.

In the first few years after Wang went to Taiwan, he mainly wrote and made speeches, supplemented by discussion and participation in politics. During this period, his writing was mainly about writing articles, covering politics, management, education, and dealing with others, which were published in magazines in Taiwan Province and Hongkong respectively. He also compiled China Dictionary of Historical Geography and Dictionary of New English Idioms. In addition, he has a large number of translated works. It is worth mentioning that A General History of the United States, a masterpiece with a length of more than1.3000 words, was translated by Wang Cong in mid-June of 1.953, which took three years to complete, and was published by Taiwan Province Commercial Press under the pseudonym Long Leifei.

Wang Zai also has many social and cultural activities and related part-time jobs. His social activities during this period were purely cultural, academic and political, and most of them were. However, he participated in the activities of "free man" for the longest time and occupied the most social activities. Wang is the chairman of the association of freemen. On March 1952 and 15, "Freeman" held a plenary meeting in Taiwan Province, presided over by Wang. The attitude towards the publication of Freeman is as follows: "In addition to actively advocating democracy and freedom and passively opposing Russia, we must also uphold the current constitution and advocate parliamentary politics." "Whenever there is a malicious attack on Taiwan Province Province from outside, which affects the country,

1in March, 955, Freeman stirred up a hornet's nest again. This article in this magazine discussed the corruption case of Shanghai Yangzi Company and criticized Kong Xiangxi. The Kuomintang authorities were very angry and decided to intervene directly. Under the threat of the Kuomintang authorities, Wang wrote to Zuo Shunsheng, president of Hong Kong's Freeman magazine, informing him of his decision to stop publishing. Unexpectedly, Zuo Shunsheng and others were quite disgusted with the autocratic behavior of the Kuomintang. On April 29th, Zuo Shunsheng sent a letter to Wang from Hong Kong, clearly expressing his opposition to the suspension of publication. Since then, Hong Kong's "free men" have gone their separate ways and are no longer bound by Wang He and Ruan Yicheng. Freeman magazine didn't announce its closure until September 6, 2003. There are also divisions within Taiwan Province's "free men". Lei Zhen and others attacked autocratic rule and had tense relations with Taiwan Province authorities. Pro-Taiwan Province provincial authorities still keep in touch.

In the early 1950s, the Kuomintang regime in Taiwan Province Province faced the social reality of economic difficulties and unstable people's hearts. In order to maintain the rule of a corner of the island, the Seventh National Congress of the Kuomintang planned the so-called "National Congress" after the end of 1952+00 in June, and strengthened the rule in the name of "legality". The first "National Congress" held many meetings. Wang and Wang successively participated in the Sixth Congress of the First National Congress, and both were members of the presidium. During the National Congress in Nanjing, Wang, as the vice president of the Executive Yuan, was unable to attend many presidium meetings.

The second session of the National Congress opened in Taipei on February 1954, with Hu Shi as interim chairman. His main task is to elect the president and vice president, decide whether to extend or abolish the so-called temporary provisions on mobilizing the counter-insurgency period, and discuss the impeachment case of Vice President Li Zongren by the procuratorate. During the preparation and convening of the Second National Congress, Wang was quite active without any official position. The final result of the congress is to recall Li Zongren, elect "President Jiang" and extend the interim provisions. Under the political background that the Kuomintang strengthens one-party dictatorship and the highest decision-maker must be Jiang, such a result is inevitable. Because of Wang's "positive role", the Kuomintang authorities like him very much and want to take advantage of him. Shortly after the closing of the second national congress, he became the vice president of Wang's examination institute.

The Third Session of the First National Congress opened in Taipei on February 1960. Wang was then the vice president of the Executive Yuan. The main task of the Third National Congress is to elect the president and vice president. This is because the terms of office of Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng have expired, and according to the Constitution adopted by the National Assembly, the President can only be re-elected once, while Chiang Kai-shek has been re-elected twice, so according to jurisprudence, he is not eligible for re-election. Another problem is that before the meeting, the People's Socialist Party, the Youth Party, some non-party representatives and some Kuomintang representatives proposed to implement two powers: the right of creation and the right of referendum, the essence of which was to oppose the one-party dictatorship of the Kuomintang. In order to obtain the right to re-create and re-decide, the premise is to deny the temporary provisions on the period of mobilizing counter-insurgency Therefore, the Third National Congress of the Communist Party of China mainly discussed three issues: Is it necessary to maintain the name of "mobilizing to suppress chaos"? Should the two powers of initiative and referendum be exercised by the National Assembly? Can the president be re-elected more than once?

These issues were first discussed and revised by the first National University Accreditation Committee, and then submitted to the General Assembly for discussion and voting. On March 7, under the manipulation of the Kuomintang, Wang was presumed to be the convener of the 47-member finishing team. As the moderator, Wang proposed that the name of "counterinsurgency" would remain unchanged, and that "president" could be re-elected, and the right to create and decide again would be left to be resolved later. At this meeting of the organizing committee, there were great differences of opinion. Finally, they reluctantly reached an agreement and adopted Wang's suggestion. After the press conference of 1 1 started in March, the opposition remained fierce. At this moment, Wang suddenly stood up and spoke in a clear voice. The key point is that the exercise of the right of creation and the right of referendum will definitely be delayed, but it will certainly be exercised when the time comes, ensuring that it will come from the industrial and commercial circles and be trustworthy forever. Wang's "official talk" used business as a metaphor for politics, which surprised the delegates. Everyone looked at each other in surprise and knew that there would be no result if we continued to quarrel. This "short old man with white hair" represents the views of the Kuomintang authorities. Since there is still a glimmer of hope to "study and exercise" the rights of initiative and referendum, people who hold different opinions will keep silent. On March 1 1, the meeting revised the Interim Provisions on Mobilization in Counter-insurgency Period and made new provisions on the re-election of the "President": "The first president who implements the Constitution is not limited to being re-elected once in Article 47 of the Constitution, but can be re-elected." This article is obviously specially revised for Chiang Kai-shek. /kloc-in March of 0/2, the provisional plenary session of the Kuomintang presumed that Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng were candidates for "President" and "Vice President". On March 2 1 day, Chiang Kai-shek was re-elected as "President" and on March 22, Chen Cheng was re-elected as "Vice President". Because the "first president of the Constitution" can be re-elected without restriction, Chiang Kai-shek has been re-elected five times. The first "National Congress" was held once in Nanjing in 1948, and then held many times in Taipei. Its representatives were not re-elected, and they were ridiculed by the people of Taiwan Province Province as "the generation of generations".

With regard to solving the problem of exercising these two rights, the Third Session of the First National Congress adopted the Organizational Principles for Establishing Institutions according to Provisional Regulations written by Wang, which stipulated that an interim session of the National Congress should be convened at an appropriate time and a Constitutional Research Committee of the National Congress should be established, with "a chairman and a vice-chairman, who should be elected by the public". This delaying tactic delayed the National Assembly from exercising its two powers of initiative and referendum for six years, and it was not until the opening of the Fourth National Congress that an interim meeting was held.

At the beginning of 1966, the "National Congress" held once every six years is approaching again. From February 1 year, an interim meeting of the "National Congress" was held, presided over by Wang, "to discuss the exercise methods and relevant conclusions of the two rights agreed by the Constitutional Research Commission". The final "research" result is that the four "National Congresses" can't solve the problem of exercising the rights of initiative and referendum. This is naturally the decision of the Kuomintang authorities.

The 4th National Congress was held in Taipei on February, 2006 1966, and Wang presided over the opening ceremony. At this time, Wang is no longer a government official, and his ideas have changed. He is also resistant to his re-election to the presidium and the delay in the two powers. The Fourth Session of the First National Congress adopted the Supplementary Interim Provisions. This article clearly stipulates that "the termination of the mobilization and counter-insurgency period shall be announced by the president", which is actually an indefinite extension of the so-called "mobilization and counter-insurgency period", enabling the Kuomintang authorities to "legally" strengthen autocratic rule. With regard to the exercise of the long-debated rights of initiative and referendum, although this article stipulates that the National Assembly "may formulate measures", it adds that "the President may convene an interim meeting of the National Assembly to discuss initiatives or referendum when he deems it necessary". In other words, if the "President" thinks that it is "unnecessary", the relevant proposals of the "Congress" will not be discussed.

According to the usual practice, the fourth session of the first National Congress will elect the President and the Vice President. The candidates put forward by the Kuomintang were Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Jiagan, but none of the other parties mentioned them. Wang is, of course, the key target of the Kuomintang's efforts to create an election atmosphere and encourage people from all walks of life to express their opinions. Wang used the propaganda scheduled by the Kuomintang to exaggerate the "wise men" of Jiang and Yan, saying that he had no intention of participating in this "automatic election." As expected, Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Jiagan were "elected" as "President" and "Vice President" respectively.

From the Eighth National Congress of the Kuomintang in 1957 to the Tenth National Congress of the Kuomintang in 1969, it was a period when the Taiwan Province provincial authorities strengthened the one-party dictatorship by advocating "counter-offensive revival". Wang himself has the experience of being the vice president of Taiwan Province Examinations Institute and the president of the Executive Yuan, and his public remarks have obvious political inclination. His original limited democratic consciousness is often subject to the official will, or to the will of the Kuomintang, which is rarely reflected.

1972 and 1978, the fifth and sixth sessions of the first national congress were held in Taiwan Province province. At that time, Wang was old and weak, and had been divorced from politics for many years. Sometimes he dares to say a few inappropriate words and has no expectations for a formal "National Assembly". He attended several meetings occasionally, and there were no important performances.

Father of doctors

In Taiwan Province Province, Wang enjoys the title of "Father of Doctors". It was he who first put forward the proposal of setting up a doctoral degree in Taiwan Province Province. He was also one of the earliest doctoral tutors in Taiwan Province Province, and he supervised the most doctoral students at the same time.

Since 1954, he has been employed as an adjunct professor at the Institute of Politics of National Chengchi University, and as a full professor since the end of March 1963. During the teaching period, he offered two courses in the master's class: modern public service management and modern administrative research; Open a course in the doctoral class: Study on China's Political Classics in Past Dynasties. Because of his unique research and rich practical experience in politics and administration, he took two courses in the master's class, which were very substantial and vivid. At the University of Political Science and Law, Wang is the main thesis advisor.

From 1955 to 1964, there are 13 doctors who graduated from the Institute of National Chengchi University. He is the thesis director of 9 doctoral students. It is said that in his first year at Zheng Da University, he trained 30 masters and 15 doctors, thus winning the nickname "the father of doctors". At the age of 82, he himself won the first square hat in his life, that is, the honorary doctor of law degree awarded by Korea Jianguo University. 1969, Wang resigned from Chengda University and devoted himself to cultural publishing and personal writing.

Since/kloc-0 resigned from his official position in February, 1963, he entered the peak of his personal writing, and published more than 20 kinds of personal works, with nearly 100 articles, including 5 works, with 1 more than 10,000 words. For example, the seven-volume History of China's Political Thought and the six-volume History of China's Educational Thought are masterpieces. Even in his later years, Wang continued to write. On his 80th birthday, he published a 654.38+200,000-word "Lu's Eighty-year-old Self-Report". On his 90th birthday, another 500,000-word memoir, The Last Decade of Seclusion, was unexpectedly published. Besides writing academic works and memoirs, he also likes to write poems and lyrics as a kind of rest.
