In the summer of 1937, Japanese troops occupied the campuses of Beijing’s two leading universities, Beida and Qinghua, and reduced Nankai, in Tianjin, to rubble. These were China's leading institutions of higher learning, run by men educated in the West and committed to modern liberal education. The three universities first moved to Changsha, 900 miles southwest of Beijing, where they joined forces. But with the fall of Nanjing in mid-December, many students left to fight the Japanese, who soon began bombing Changsha.In February 1938, the 800 remaining students and faculty made the thousand-mile trek to Kunming, in China’s remote, mountainous southwest, where they formed the National Southwest Associated University (Lianda). In makeshift quarters, subject to sporadic bombing by the Japanese and shortages of food, books, and clothing, students and professors did their best to conduct a modern university. In the next eight years, many of China’s most prominent intellectuals taught or studied at Lianda. This book is the story of their lives and work under extraordinary conditions.Lianda’s wartime saga crystallized the experience of a generation of Chinese intellectuals, beginning with epic journeys, followed by years of privation and endurance, and concluding with politicization, polarization, and radicalization, as China moved from a war of resistance against a foreign foe to a civil war pitting brother against brother. The Lianda community, which had entered the war fiercely loyal to the government of Chiang Kai-shek, emerged in 1946 as a bastion of criticism of China’s ruling Guomindang party. Within three years, the majority of the Lianda community, now returned to its north China campuses in Beijing and Tianjin, was prepared to accept Communist rule.In addition to struggling for physical survival, Lianda’s faculty and students spent the war years striving to uphold a model of higher education in which modern universities, based in large part on the American model, sought to preserve liberal education, political autonomy, and academic freedom. Successful in the face of wartime privations, enemy air raids, and Guomindang pressure, Lianda’s constituent universities eventually succumbed to Communist control. By 1952, the Lianda ideal had been replaced with a politicized and technocratic model borrowed from the Soviet Union.
西南联大,即国立西南联合大学,由当年抗战时期,往南撤退的北京大学、清华大学,南开大学合组而成。这几年,这个已经消失了六十多年的老学校渐渐火了起来,一是大家对于现行教育界的普遍不满,只好从过去中寻找慰藉和希望;二是联大的校友多为名人学者,怀念文章逐渐受到大家...
评分西南联大在最近几年成为学术界的显学,其原因在于在那个动荡的年代,战争不断、物质匮乏,却能保持大学的传统,培养出一代代知识分子。这背后所隐含的是中国社会变革中的文化传承与革新。但在更多的著作中对西南联大展开的研究,局限于记述故事,描述现场,但那是一个回不去的...

评分刊《法治周末》 在国家板荡不安,民族生死存亡之际,西南联大人高举学术自由、思想多元、兼容并蓄的大纛,在中国教育史上是罕见的奇迹:“联合大学以其兼容并包之精神,转移社会一时之风气,内树学术自由之规模,外获民主堡垒之称号,违千夫之诺诺,作一士之谔谔”...
不足十年之史,穷三十年之力,历史研究也可以这样细!
评分此书比较突出的特点是把联大师生回归到了普通人的位置。这样的角度也是审视历史应有的视点:他们在这里不只是知名教授或日后声名显赫的大师,也首先是一群陷入一场出乎意料旷日持久的战争中的读书人。换而言之,在奢谈任何日后辉煌之前,首先需要看到当时联大师生所必须面对的困境和现实的残酷无奈,唯有这样,才更能体会联大存在的偶然性以及联大精神之难能可贵。将历史人物投射回他们所在的时代从而更客观的审视得失、评价历史正是此书值得推荐之处。
