On August 21, the China Education News reported on the title of "Can Becoming such a teacher, quite tasteful", and reported that Professor Mei Renyi of our school was concentrated in governance and committed to national research, language teaching and composite talent training, etc. Typical deeds. The following is the original report:
A "Rural Female Teacher" brought Mei Renyi to the road of teaching; 60 years of cultivation, he eventually became a generation of famous teachers
"It can be such a teacher, it has a lot of taste."
Professor Mei Renyi, a professor at Beijing University of Foreign Languages
At Beijing University of Foreign Languages, there is an old professor. Every evening, after a day of teaching, he will carry a handbag, passing through the underground passage connected to the school's East and West Courts. He responded with a smile to every classmate who greeted him.
His name is Mei Renyi. In the north, he has become a sign of the school like the "Morning Reading Goddess" sculpture on the campus.
In 1960, Mei Renyi graduated from graduate. At that time, he was influenced by the movie "Rural Female Teachers". In the movie, a female teacher in the small city of Siberia served as the 50th anniversary of teaching. Students came to congratulate from various parts of the Soviet Union. Among them were marshals, generals, and academicians. This scene shocked Mei Renyi, "It can be a teacher who can be such a teacher."
After graduating, he stayed as a teacher as a teacher. In the early days of reform and opening up, the tide of public study abroad set off. After layers of selection, Mei Renyi became the first batch of rich scholars in the country in China. In 1982, he went to Yale University in the United States to study. In just one year, Mei Renyi read more than 250 books, remembered more than 1,000 pages of notes, and copied thousands of pages of information. The teachers at Yale University joked: "Mei, you will print our books." When he returned to study abroad, the Yale Society of China learned to show off Mei Renyi. Someone asked him what he was the best for the United States, and Mei Renyi replied: "Library."
When he returned to China, he not only brought back 8,000 US dollars of travel checks, but also had more than 30 boxes of books in his luggage. These books on American diplomacy were searched for Mei Renyi in the old bookstore in New York, and they were scored one by one. They have become the first batch of original foreign texts in the research of the Beiwai Library and even the study of domestic diplomatic history.
After studying abroad, Mei Renyi has been committed to training law, economic and foreign language composite talents in language colleges.
The cultivation of composite talents is one of the hot words in the current domestic education. However, in the 1980s and 1990s, they were resisted a lot. Some scholars have studied literature and linguistics for a lifetime. By the age of 40 and 50, let him learn anything else. It is difficult and unwilling.
However, from the perspective of the discipline, this "cocoon" must be broken. Mei Renyi believes that language is used to communicate. Without political, economic, and cultural knowledge reserves, it is difficult to integrate into the international community and obtain the recognition of the international academic community.
Mei Renyi took the initiative to turn the research field to international relations. He personally brought the master's and doctoral students in the US research direction to the international conference, and used the dual advantages of language and professionalism in international debates to start the signboard of international relations in language colleges. From then on, the Chinese international relations community realized that if you do not want to fall behind, you must combine international relations with language.
It is precisely because of this forward -looking nature that the domestic pioneer represented by Mei Renyi took the lead in promoting the establishment of international relations colleges, international business schools, law schools, and even the School of Humanities and Social Sciences in language colleges. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, and Xinhua News Agency have trained a large number of compound talents.
Not long ago, Mei Renyi won the U.S. Education Fund in the United States to study the Lifetime Honor Award.
In the awarding word for Mei Renyi, Zhang Zhixiang, chairman of the US -China Education Foundation, said: "This award was awarded to Professor Mei, which can be said to be real. I first met Professor Mei at Peking University in 1988. He has been committed to promoting China's American research and enthusiastically to promote exchanges in various fields such as academic and culture between China and the United States. His contributions and influences are obvious to all. Admire people "
In fact, in addition to national research, Mei Renyi also has many English language works, and has a high reputation and accomplishment in the linguistic world. Therefore, when introducing Mei Renyi, it is often called "Master".
In this regard, Mei Renyi always euphemistically rejected: "Please don't call me a master, I'm just a teacher."
In Mei Renyi's view, the "master" is not just a contribution, but also to be ancient and modern, to communicate with China and foreign countries. He said he was still far away.
Communicating with students is the eighty -year -old Mei Renyi who believes that he is young.
Mei Renyi is happy to actively build the harmonious relationship between teachers and students. In his eyes, students are their relatives, and there is no need to set up in front of the students, and there is no need to let the teachers and students relationship oppose. Under Mei Renyi, some students have become famous American scholars. As long as they come to Beijing, they will call or visit Mei Renyi as soon as possible. For Mei Renyi, this is a very happy thing.
As a teacher, Mei Renyi is most willing to see that his students are struggling with the causes of national construction after graduation.
"There are two types of students who are worthy of my pride. One is more famous like Fu Ying, Yang Lan, etc., mainly concentrated in politics and business. The other is students who work in remote areas to contribute youth. The spirit of the outside world, that is, go to the grassroots level, go to the remote areas, and go to the place where the country needs. Although they do not have a great reputation, the dedication in their lives also makes me feel proud. "Mei Renyi repeatedly emphasized.
Walking on the campus, there are often students who do not know to greet him: "Hello Teacher Mei!"
At this time, Mei Renyi found the feeling of the protagonist of "Rural Female Teachers".
