Cun Shusheng (1986-1978), also known as Yu Zhou, was born in October 1896 in Heshun Township, Tengchong, Yunnan province, an intellectual family deeply influenced by the bourgeois democratic revolutionary thought. When he was young, he studied at a private school and later at Heshun Primary School. In 1911 he was admitted to Dali Middle School. After graduation, he returned to his hometown as a teacher at Heshun Primary School. In the winter of 1918, he received official support to study in Japan. He received a bachelor's degree in economics from Kyushu Imperial University in 1932. After the September 18 Incident, Cun Shusheng resolutely returned to China, and has been in Peiping University, Xi 'an Temporary University, Northwest United University, Yunnan University and other schools as an associate professor, professor. All his life, he devoted himself to education, intellectual team building and work, and made outstanding contributions.
In the winter of 1939, Mr. cunshusheng began to devote himself to the education of the frontier with the patriotism and concern for the people of "the frontier is also China's territory, the frontier people are also a part of our countrymen, and the ignorance and cultural backwardness of the frontier people should be the shame and responsibility of the intellectual class". Mr. cunshusheng has successfully practiced the school running thought of "combining education with productive labor", and won a high reputation in the educational circles and overseas Chinese in Yunnan Province. In October 1950, Mr. Cun Shusheng was transferred to the Department of economics of Yunnan University by the Ministry of higher education of Southwest China as a professor, mainly engaged in the teaching of agricultural economics, philosophy, political economics and other courses, and prepared handouts such as agricultural economics and economic policy. Mr. cunshusheng not only teaches seriously, but also cares about the growth of students. In June 1961, Mr. cunshusheng and his classmates discussed the dialectical relationship between "red" and "specialized", theory and practice, and between teachers and students at the all student conference of the school. He suggested that students should have a correct learning attitude and political attitude. It is wrong to only "specialize" but not "red" or only "red" but not "specialize"; In learning, we should not only learn book knowledge (i.e. theory), but also strengthen practice. It is wrong to read without practice or practice without reading; Teachers and students are a contradictory unity of teaching and learning. Teachers should love and care for students, impart knowledge to them, and make students' knowledge grow continuously; Students should respect teachers, study hard, have the courage to argue with teachers on some issues, and constantly promote the improvement of teachers' level. This reflects Mr. cunshusheng's idea that education should not only cultivate talents, but also cultivate people.
During his work in Yunnan University, Mr. Cun Shusheng has successively served as vice chairman of the temporary School Affairs Committee of Yunnan University, Secretary General (responsible for presiding over the daily work of the University) and vice president of Yunnan University. As the school leader, Mr. inch Shusheng faithfully performed his duties, was loyal to the party's educational cause, worked closely with school leaders such as Gao Zhiguo and Li Guangtian, worked hard to implement the party's educational policies and policies, and actively carried out the school's teaching reform and intellectual work. Mr. inch Shusheng also tried his best to support teachers to carry out scientific research work when conditions permit. At the academic paper meeting of the whole university in 1962, Mr. cunshusheng stressed that "the key to promoting the continuous improvement of teaching quality and academic level is to continuously and actively carry out scientific research, which is an inexhaustible source for the improvement of teaching quality and academic level". Faced with the failure of young teachers' scientific research experiments, Mr. cunshusheng did not criticize or criticize, but believed that "since it is a scientific experiment, failure should be allowed. Failure is also a result. He can tell people that this road is impassable and this assumption is wrong, and teach people not to take this road again. This is also beneficial". His tolerant and understanding attitude greatly inspired young teachers' scientific research momentum, activated the academic atmosphere of the school, and led a large number of teachers to actively devote themselves to scientific research practice. In addition, according to the needs of national construction and in order to further strengthen the scientific research projects with strong research foundation of Yunnan University for many years, Mr. cunshusheng tried to apply to the province for full-time scientific research indicators of Yunnan University, and established research institutions such as southwest Asia Research Institute, ecology and geobotany Research Institute, physics research office and Yunnan minority social history research office in 1964. After years of construction, these research institutions have now achieved great development, and many research institutions have become key disciplines and important scientific research bases of Yunda today. Mr. cunshusheng's efforts at that time made important contributions to the development of scientific research, the construction of Yunnan University and even the development of culture and education in our province.
