Diary of President Zhu's westward migration to Guizhou during the Anti-Japanese War (serial 1743)

1944101October 23rd (Monday) Zunyi to Meitan, cloudy in the morning and rainy in the afternoon. Zunyi 15℃ in the morning and 14.6℃ in the afternoon. Rainfall 1.4 mm Maple leaves and tung leaves are yellow along the way.

It starts at five in the morning. At seven o'clock, Mrs. Bie Yun Ming and Mr. Songer arrived at the school. After writing the letter, I will take a bus from the Sino-British Cultural Science Museum and take L.E.R. Picken and Cao to the social service department. It's eight o'clock. Joseph Needham just got up. At nine o'clock, Joseph Needham, his wife Dorothy, Picken, Cao Jun and five others went to the public restaurant for breakfast. After eating jiaozi in the steamer, the sweet 100 was more than 80% salty, and the crystal steamed buns were each 10. About 20 eggs were eaten. * * * had a 660-yuan date, which was a bit expensive!

It leaves at 9: 30. The weather is fine, there is no rain, but the road is still muddy. The car started to run normally, and then broke down because the alcohol pipe was blocked. I drove to Meitan at 2: 40. They immediately went to the health center and arranged for Needham to stay. They are very satisfied. It's four o'clock after Chinese food. We went to the Confucian Temple with Hu and Zheng, then went to the main temple in Sichuan, the Vatican Palace, inspected the chemistry room, and went to Wang and others.

Go to Meijiang Hotel at six to see my daughter Zhu Mei.

At 6: 30, I returned to the health center, had dinner, and went to Mr. and Mrs. Needham, Picken, Cao, Bei, Shu Hong, Du,,,,, and Hong Kui, and agreed on the two-day visit itinerary of Needham. Return at eight o'clock.

Qingyan, Zunyi, Meitan and Yongxing in Guizhou are places that every Zhejiang University person should visit all his life. The above words were read and translated by alumni of Guizhou Zhejiang University from The Complete Works of Zhu Kezhen 1940~ 1946 every day. Reading and translating are fresh, and I will share them with you. Through the westward movement, I witnessed the president's seven years of running a school in Guizhou during the Anti-Japanese War, and realized the spirit of seeking truth and promoted the westward culture.
