November 2, 2021，In the evening，I ride a long -established bicycle，Passing on Cambridge with a relaxed joy。At this time, the university town is the colorful late autumn，Jinliu on the river bank、Bluebao on the bottom of the water and the clouds on the sky，It is still the appearance in Xu Zhimo's eyes。I completed a day's homework，Students put on black robes，Holding a bottle of wine，Step on the slate road to the official dinner to the college。The current Britain is still in the epidemic，But the atmosphere in the school is slowly active，Gradually restored the busyness of the past。

This is the first time I have rode "into the city" at night since the epidemic，To participate in a special event -Professor Rongxiu, from Cambridge University Asia and the Middle East College、Tang Shi Research Expert David McMullen is a famous historian、Sinologist Mr. Michael Loewe hosted by Mr. Michael Loewe。Lu Wei was born in 1922，According to Chinese tradition，Holding in 2021 is a virtual life seat，Professor Mai Dawei called it "100 Sui Celebration" (Centennial Celebration)。As one of the 30 invited guests that night，I feel very honored。

Birthday will be held at the Old Music Room of St. John College (Old Music Room)。Push the thick wooden door，It seems that I suddenly entered the movie。The four walls and ceiling of the room are solid wood inlaid，Antique，Full of charm。Elegant ladies、The gentlemen are talking about champagne wine。For most people，This is the first time since the epidemic participating in such a event，So don't have a taste and meaning。Professor Mai saw that I was looking for Mr. Lu Wei，Then he smiled and said, "Michael (‘ Michael ’Chinese translation) bet365 Play online games is still on the road，Governor of Hong Kong (refers to David Wilson，Chinese name Wei Yixin，Once the Governor of Hong Kong) drove him for a car。Governor of Hong Kong is familiar with Hong Kong's road，But when I arrived at Cambridge，It can be completely different! "Professor Mai, who has always been a little tuned, is also lively today，The words are full of English humor。

After a while，Mr. Lu Wei is surrounded by people，He is holding a crutch，Moving slowly。Everyone lowers laughs，Naturally give up a road，Please take a seat in front of Mr.。After the old professors have greeted Lu Wei one by one，I walked gently to wish the elderly a life，A little excited and nervous inside。The old gentleman affectionately stretched out his hand，Smile can be，Very cute expression。Although these days are not in good health，Visual is also seriously damaged，But he can still walk freely through the crutch，Clear brain as old，It is not like a centen old man at all。I said to my husband，Now the Le Joseph Research Institute has re -opened the academic forum，Restore offline activities，Welcome to come to guide。Mr. I learned that the news is very happy，I am very interested in participating in the seminar。Remember that when I saw my husband at the Institute，He expressed his hope that people can communicate face to face again，Take the initiative to tell me that if the autumn epidemic is not very serious，He hopes to hold a seminar at the Institute。Unfortunately, after being hospitalized for a while because of physical body，The seminar was not held as scheduled。

"Dingling Bell!" Someone sounded the wine glass，All guests immediately calm down，Roel SterckX, Asia and the Middle East College, Asia and the Middle East College, are preparing to speak。Professor Hu first congratulations to Mr. Lu Weiyi recently won the "World Chinese Academic Contribution Award" issued by the Shanghai Bet365 app download Academy of Social Sciences。Mention that Mr.'s outstanding academic achievements，He said，The birthday party cannot be listed one by one，But he wants to share a small story with you，Talk about what kind of person is the dear Michael。Professor Hu Side said with interest，Mr. Lu Wei once had a habit，That is some of your views，Whether it is academic or non -academic，Write on a small note or stationery，Put it in some scholars' mailbox，Merit ideological exchanges in this special way。Professor Hu immediately took out a letter written by Mr. Lu Wei 15 years ago。Letter，Mr. said that he must have a certain social effect for oriental studies。He said，As a scholar，It is obliged to introduce what I learned more extensively to universities and the public，For example，"9 · 11" what is the historical background of、What kind of country is Afghanistan，etc.，Chinese research should also establish contact between academic circles and the public。Mr. Suggestion，Combined with the Qin Terracotta Warriors Exhibition of the British Museum at the time，Plan to carry out a series of public lectures on early China，Rich people's understanding of China。The sentence in the letter is very sincere，Reflecting Mr. Lu Wei's sense of social responsibility，and he just positive、A blunt personality。

Subsequent，Mr. Lu Wei got up and speak，He sincerely thanks to the new friends present。He said，My life is very lucky，I encountered outstanding and humble colleagues at the University of London ’s Asia -Africa College and Cambridge University。Recommended your own academic experience，A word from Mr. left a deep impression on me，He said: "I enjoy time with my colleagues。Arrives with them，Then be refuted，Over the day，Drink another glass of wine，Continue controversy。"", To have ben argued aginst, and, at the end of the day, To control the argument over a nice glass of wine.bet365 best casino games )，The participants all showed a concentrated smile。Yes! This is the cute Michael，With a firm academic belief and passion，There is also the pursuit of truth，For decades, life is purely devoted to learning、Research and self -cultivation。The old man is 100 years old，But still thinking agile，full qi，Three -minute speech，He is ingenious，Word of the Hanging River，Ingestion。

　　From intelligence work to Sinology research

Speaking，Cambridge is really a Feng Shui treasure，The professor here is generally longevity and full of vitality，This may be related to their unremitting pursuit of knowledge and academics in their lives。The life story of the professors is good，And Mr. Lu Wei is one of the "legend"。He studied undergraduate at Oxford University，Time at World War II，Leaving Oxford in 1942，Accept training at the government communication headquarters，Driving the Japanese Code。After starting to learn Chinese，and went to China in 1947，After returning to China, I studied undergraduate degree in Chinese at the University of London。During 1956-1963, he worked at the University of London，In the same year, I received a doctorate degree in the University of London's Asian and African College of London and enrolled in Cambridge University，until retirement in 1990。

Mr. Lu Wei has been honored for more than 30 years，But still maintains the enthusiasm for academics，Follow the strict schedule every day。In the 90th year, he often drives to the college for dining or participating in the department of activities，A few years ago, he flew to China to attend academic conferences a few years ago。Sometimes，I will see him in the restaurant with students、Scholars talk，or sit on the sofa to read the newspaper; sometimes，I will meet him in the East Asian Reading Room of the University Library，Witness him to consider the information，or he smiled with a crutch bet365 live casino games in the corridor; sometimes，I will also listen to his loud and powerful speech at a seminar at the Le Joseph Institute or East Asia Department。Vaguely remember a winter day a few years ago，Let me attend a lecture。Cambridge on the day of the Cambridge is covered with goose feathers，I want to，Old professors will not go out? Unexpectedly，Just step into the lecture hall，I see the two old gentlemen of Lu Wei and Geoffrey Lloyd are sitting steadily on their usual seats，Waiting for lectures to start。What a precious learning spirit they convey for young scholars!

Lu Wei has achieved abundant results in the field of research in the Han Dynasty，Impact deep，I am afraid that no one can come out in the Western academic community。His work reflects the persistence and love of the old sinologists for the old generation of sinologists，and the rigorous attitude towards the text and meticulous spirit。For that generation of scholars，Contact Chinese、The opportunity to practice spoken language is very limited，It can be said that they basically deal with China at the literature level。Modern scholars can rely on electronic equipment and various databases to search for information，and the older generation of scholars store massive texts in their minds。What is regrettable is，Mr. Lu Wei is one of the top Sinologists in the West，But I have never enjoyed the title of "Professor"，Eventually only retired as a "lecturer"。It is said that，Questions of the title may be blunt with him、The personality of just now is not available。but but，His disciples and grandchildren have already become the head of Chinese research in world famous schools，Presumably there is no regrets, right?

　Life is 100 years old.

At the 100th birthday party，Students of Mr. Lu Wei、Professor Michael Nylan, a University of California, Berkeley, presented a surprise to the teacher:，A collection of papers compiled by Bet365 lotto review many disciples and friends of Lu's only disciples and friends will be in 2022 by "Early China" (Early China) Publication is published as a special publication。The editor -in -chief of "Early China" -Professor Sarah Allan at DARTMOUTH College, the United States, also delivered a brief speech。A heavy collection，The ideas and research results of sinologists of the Five Lakes and Four Seas and Five Lakes，For Michael, who dedicated his life to Sinology，This is really the best gift! I deliberately brought a lotus picture made by Mr. Lu Zhongjian, the painter father,，As a birthday gift, give it to Mr. Lu Wei。"Out of silt but not dyed，濯 Qinglian instead of demon。"" Lotus to describe the purity and innocence of the gentleman, it is not appropriate。

Birthday celebrities gather，The participants include Professor Tim Barrett from the University of London,，Susan Daruvala、IMRE Galambos、Professor Adam Chau，Professor Mei Jianjun, Li Joseph Institute, and Mr. John Moffett，Mr. Charles Aylmer, the former library of Cambridge University Library、Clare Hall，Lu Wei's only college) Professor David Ibbetson (David Ibbetson)，etc.，They are all students of Michael、colleagues or friends。Many well -known scholars gathered together for Michael's birthday，It is a big event for Cambridge。

"Book of Rites" is called "the Year of the Period"，It means that the old man of this age needs to support or take care of others。and until now，Mr. Lu Wei still lives alone in "Willow House"，You only need to be a caregiver twice a day，Help take care of some housework。It is said that，Because of advocating freedom，Michael is used to self -care，I don't like to get too much care，Unwilling to go to the old home for 24 hours "supervision"。In recent years, he also wrote a new book about the Roman Empire and China.，Press is under review。Centennial elderly，Cherish time，Not upset Nianhua，Life day Bet365 lotto review after day is still reading、Research、Writing。

I often sigh，Life in Cambridge、Learning and work，Compared to academic harvest，I can have the opportunity to get to get to get to get to get to get to know the predecessors like Lu Wei，Learn their spirit of exploration of knowledge、Human and kind quality, and to humans、Caring for the world，For me，Maybe this is the more precious spiritual wealth on the road of life。
