5.I was a teacher for only ten years.In 1926,on my return to China after finishing studies in the United States,I began to teach at my alma mater Yenching University,Peiping,as a lecturer in Chinese.The teachers of the Department of Chinese then were mostly my former teachers.
The students and I were good friends.The freshmen were mostly young boys and girls aged between 17and 20 in five classes,each consisting of 30to 40students coming from various places of China.Those from Fujian and Guangdong had difficulty in understanding the heavily accented speech of teachers who came from places south of the Yangtze River.Consequently,some of these students were transferred to my class through the arrangements of the school's office.Looking down from the platform,I was delighted by a multitude of rosy-faced young students smiling and staring curiously at me.Their smiles were by no means unfamiliar to me,being similar to those I often saw on the faces of my younger brothers and younger female cousins.
I taught a course on advanced writing,which was an elective for students above the freshman level.It gave them a try in different genres of literary writing,such as fiction,poetry,correspondence and sometimes translations.For the end-of-term examination,I had them each hand in a self-edited magazine specializing in any subjects,such as fine arts,sports,etc.a(chǎn)nd complete with well designed cover,aim of its publication and photos.Students of the same class could request contributions or photos from each other,or from students of other classes.They called it an interesting try.The magazines they handed in by the end of the term were very lively and encouraging,each having its content quite in line with its title.
In recalling my past career as a teacher,I always think fondly of the intimate friendship between the students and me.In those days,teachers and students all lived on campus.We often went boating on the Weiming Lake,or had discussions about various things on the marble boat by the island in the middle of the Lake,or had heart-to-heart private talks about,for instance,job selections or marriage.All that took place over half a century ago,and now,more than half of them have gone to another world before me.I feel very sorrow about it indeed.In my mind,teachers and students should be friends with mutual respect and love.
