Yuan Story | Shenzhen -Hong Kong Ling Family

On July 20, 2022, Xu Yangsheng, the principal of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), officially announced that after the university resolution, the school's fifth academy was officially named "Daoyang College".

Daoyang College, Ling Daoyang, one of the founders of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. This naming has extraordinary significance. In Xu Yangsheng's words, "it is a coincidence of meaningful and the fate of history." Dr. Ling Daoyang is the founder of the modern forestry industry in China, and it is also one of the early forest scholars who advocated the establishment of a "tree planting festival" in China. He is also a well -known educator. He has successively served as the president of Chongji College and the United Academy, known as the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and promoted the establishment of the Chinese University of Hong Kong during his tenure. What is fate is that after a Jiazi, the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) returned to Longgang, Shenzhen, Ling Daoyang's hometown of Ling Daoyang.

The establishment of the Daoyang Academy for the establishment of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) was the Lily Holding Group Co., Ltd. founded by Ling Guoqiang, a descendant of the Ling family, to donate a total of 150 million yuan to support the development of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen).

This beautiful fate continues to write a good story. This is not only the historical inheritance of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in the Shenzhen -Hong Kongland, but also the family style of Chongwen and the talents of the Shenzhen Ling family.

Advisor of the Chinese Tree Planting Festival

In 1888, Ling Daoyang was born in a pastor family.

In the 19th century, it was at the time of the west wind. At that time, it was also known as Shenzhen in Xin'an County. Because it was adjacent to Hong Kong, it was a small window to absorb Western culture. The Ling family, which is in Puxin, is one of the first families influenced by Western studies.

At the age of 12, Ling Daoyang was sent to Shanghai St. John's School (later renamed St. John University), uncle Ling Shanfang, who graduated from Yale University, and officially received system education with the support of the tribe. This school implements Boya general education and integrates Chinese culture and western culture. He has studied for many years of experience, laid a solid foundation for Ling Dao Yang to run through Chinese and Western.

The relationship between Ling Daoyang and Lin Xue is actually very accidental. In 1909, after graduating from St. John's University, Ling Daoyang entered Beijing's Jingshi University Hall as an English teacher. In 1910, he was only ordered to accompany the two children of the Qing Dynasty to go to the Massachusetts and Massachusetts Agricultural College to learn Agricultural Sciences. Unexpectedly, after graduation, he was successfully admitted to the Graduate School of Yale University and in 1914 Won a master's degree in Lin Xue is the first person in China to obtain the degree.

In the past few years of studying on the other side of the ocean, Ling Daoyang is often distressed that Westerners often take the deserted harm of Chinese mountains as an example to alert the speech. Poor and weak, the people are suffering from disasters, just like today, are they not afraid? Seeing it, heard people, and the heart is broken! "The data shows that China is a country with poor forest resources. Due to long -term feudal rule, coupled with war It was severely damaged with chaotic cutting, and the emperor's plunder was plundered. By the beginning of the 20th century, the forest coverage rate accounted for only 8%of the land area, so that the soil and soil loss was severe, and the disasters and droughts were frequent.

So after learning to return home in 1915, Ling Daoyang was carrying a hot pillow, facing the current situation of "existing forests, foothills of deserted mountains, and a deserted mountain" "The claim puts forward" revitalizing forestry for China's urgency today. " He pointed out that the benefit of protecting the forest is wide and large, which can not only provide rich forest products, increase farmers' income and job opportunities, but also have many ecological benefits such as regulating climate, maintaining soil, water prevention, and disaster prevention and mitigation. Pay attention to.

In response to the frequent occurrence of water and drought disasters in China at that time, Ling Daoyang proposed that "non -wide -growing forests are not enough to cure water and dry drought", and continuously published "Revitalizing Forests for China's Urceration", "Fundamental Survival Methods", "China Today's Today's Methods", "China Today's Today" "The relationship between the Forest and the Drought", "Forests to Prevent Disasters", "Fundamental Creative Methods", "Removal of the Fundamental Salvation Method of Water Disaster" and other articles with persuasive and persuasive, and take the lead in proposing "water and water conservation" this one The concept has formed the idea of ​​"forest reclamation and water conservancy projects together".

Ling Daoyang's great enthusiasm for forestry profoundly affected a group of dignitaries at the time. Zhang Jian once commented that Ling Daoyang "learned the forest and has the ambition to implement it, knowing the pain of Chinese wood shortage." Ling Daoyang is indeed doing his best. He initiated the predecessor "China Forest Society", which created the first Chinese Forestry Society in China, and organized "gathered comrades to seek the development of Chinese forest academics and careers". "Forest"; participating in the creation of the first forest science of China University; the formulation of the first "Forest Law" in the history of China; it has helped Sun Yat -sen to formulate the forest political plan ...

The most familiar is that he advocated the establishment of China's first "tree planting festival". During the study abroad, Ling Daoyang participated in the tree planting festival many times. He deeply felt that the "forest to save the country" requires the power of common participation in the people, so he and the forest scholar Han An and Pei Yilian's name of the Beiyang government at the time put forward the idea of ​​setting up the Chinese tree planting festival. On this day, let all people act. The proposal was quickly adopted and implemented in 1916. Nowadays, the obligation tree planting movement has become a wind in the country and has become the growth memory of generations of Chinese people.

In the late 1940s, Ling Daoyang also went to the United States to inspect and serve in the United States at the invitation of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Administration. Ling Daoyang, who came out of Laoxu Village, Shenzhen, stepped to the world step by step. ▲ Ling Daoyang was one of the forest scholars who advocated the establishment of a "tree planting festival" in China.

"Infernal things, communication academics"

After retirement, Ling Daoyang settled in Hong Kong and opened his second life. He participated in the establishment of Chongji College in 1951 and served as the second dean of the college from 1955 to 1960.

Before the establishment of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1963, under the rule of the Hong Kong and British government, Chinese society mainly Chinese, Chinese higher education, was very marginalized. Many middle school students who graduated from Chinese schools were difficult to obtain the opportunity of further studies because the only at that time was the only at that time. The official recognized University of Hong Kong has high requirements for English. The major academies of Hong Kong, including Chongji Academy, who use Chinese as a teaching medium. There are no independent teaching status, and the diploma is not officially recognized. Maintain hard in the case.

In this difficult environment, Ling Daoyang still follows the principle of "people -oriented" and identified the school running philosophy and a series of education management systems of Chongji College. At the inaugural ceremony of the dean, he delivered a keynote speech: "We, the Mission of Intellectual". He believes that in Hong Kong, where Chinese and Western meetings, the mission of the college is to carry forward the spirit of love and peace to save the human crisis; preserve Chinese culture, communicate with China and the West, and make new contributions to human progress. The couplet he wrote still stays on the campus of Hong Kong -China University: "Lords are only well -known, the world is established, there is no one thing, and the academic communication;

In addition to enriching the cultural connotation of the academy, the most important thing during the period of Ling Daoyang was to win the official recognition of its independent teaching status, and to persuade the official to give the Chongji Academy for 10 acres of land in Magoto Water Village, New Territories. As a forestist, he attaches great importance to the positive impact of the environment on education. For the site selection, he was thought -provided: "Here, the face of Ma'anshan, falling to the port of Lu Lu, Leshan Le Shui is an ideal place for the potential for the potential; Zhang Anle chair. "

In the process of the main place, he played a unique wisdom as a forest scholar: After the official landed 10 acres (about 0.04 square kilometers) to Chongji Academy, Ling Daoyang further demanded that 10 acres (about 0.04 square kilometers) The establishment of the land, seven places distributed in the Mae material valley, so that Chongji can develop later, which actually includes the area surrounded by the plot.

After obtaining 10 acres of land (about 0.04 square kilometers), Ling Daoyang proposed to the official to expand the scope of the use of Chongji 30 acres (about 0.12 square kilometers). At this time, the identity of Ling Dao Yanglin played an important role: the official reply was leased directly to Chongji 300 acres (about 1.21 square kilometers), allowing Ling Daoyang to give full play to the expertise of agriculture and forestry to assist the official tree planting. Under the advocacy of Ling Daoyang, the teachers and students of the school were planting and beautifying campuses together.

And these 300 acres (about 1.21 square kilometers) of afforestation areas were converted into school bases when they were founded in Hong Kong and China. The appearance.

It can be said that Ling Daoyang's beautiful and sustainable development of campus, as well as the college culture of Chinese intellectuals, laid an important foundation for the rapid development of the University of Hong Kong. After the completion of the new campus of Chongji Academy, he said: "You can stand in any corner of this new campus to browse, and you can know the place selected by the college as the place of the school site. It is worthy of it. Here we can not only cultivate the mind in the beautiful scenery, and we can avoid the lumpy and complicated city of the city, and calm down to study; in such a quiet and beautiful environment, if the facts of talents occur, it will not make it allow People are surprised. "

In 1960, after retiring from the President of Chongji Academy, Ling Daoyang was employed by the Dean of the United Academy of Hong Kong, and as the chairman of the Central University of China, he was fully promoted to the establishment of the University of Hong Kong. He spoke many times and faced the opposition of "Hong Kong does not need the second university". After the establishment of the University of Hong Kong, Ling Daoyang, who is 75 years old, feels "retreat", thanking Hong Kong University for retention. In 1993, Ling Daoyang died at the age of 105.

The context left by the centenarium continued behind him. In 2014, Hong Kong University (Shenzhen) was formally established and settled in Longgang, Shenzhen. Ling Daoyang's educational concept was taken root in his hometown. In 2018, the 130th anniversary of Ling Dao Yang's birthday and academic ideological seminar was held at the University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen). The spirit of Ailin and the reputation of Tao Li are full of the world.

On July 20, 2022, Ling Guoqiang, chairman of Lily Holding Group Co., Ltd., said that he donated 150 million yuan to support the development of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) and established the Daoyang Academy. "Ling Daoyang is my uncle and one of the founders of the Chinese University of Hong Kong." Ling Guoqiang said. At that time, Ling Daoyang overcame many difficulties in Hong Kong and participated in the founding of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) runs in Longgang, Ling Daoyang's hometown. This is a rare fate. As a descendant of the Ling family, donating funds and assistance is an inconsistent responsibility. ▲ Ling Daoyang (middle) inspects the new school site of Chongji College.
