During study period，The subjects I passed in the doctoral qualification examination were intellectual history and bet365 score history。At first，I ​​did not choose bet365 score history，Choose political and diplomatic history instead。But an American professor proposed，Ask me to use the Korean War as the topic of my dissertation，He also said that as a Chinese, I can get research materials that Americans cannot get，It’s easier to get a PhD。I naturally refused。Later, I chose bet365 score history mainly from the perspective of feasibility，Because all reference materials in bet365 score history are public documents，What tests students’ understanding and analysis methods。I was very confident in my ability to understand at that time，Some bet365 score phenomena and concepts that Americans don’t understand，I don’t think it’s difficult to understand。Maybe it’s because the knowledge base and English ability of our generation of Chinese liberal arts students are not as good as those of American students，But he has rich bet365 score experience，These experiences help improve people’s thinking and judgment abilities。

At that time，China’s reform and opening up is in full swing，The impact spreads overseas。There is a relatively independent Heller College within Brandeis University，It was the top university in the field of bet365 score welfare in the United States at that time。Heller College has a profound heritage of Jewish thought，The director at the time was the former Director of the bet365 score Security Administration of the United States。Seeing that China is undergoing unprecedented reforms，Heller College has also begun to try to establish exchange relations with China，And prepare to send a team of professors to give lectures in China，Then invite a Chinese delegation to visit Heller College。For this，Heller College has specially prepared a set of simple lecture notes on the concept of bet365 score welfare security，Please ask Chinese students to help translate into Chinese in advance。I was lucky enough to get this job that paid ,000。After completing the translation work，I have a sense of entry into bet365 score welfare，And I believed it then，This new knowledge will definitely affect the development and progress of Chinese society。I proposed to the Department of Comparative History，Change political and diplomatic history to bet365 score history in the general examination (unified examination for doctoral qualifications)。The head teacher of the department has a gloomy face，Required me to provide qualifying macroeconomics and microeconomics credits，He said，You cannot study bet365 score history without a foundation in economics，Then he said with a strange expression: "You Chinese students are not good at economics，This level is very sad。”

I believe，In many cases，Human potential can be forced out，Because I just couldn’t stop doing anything，Go back to the undergraduate classroom，Listen carefully、Submit homework on time、Take the classroom exam，Until you find the head teacher with qualified economics test scores，He was surprised and reluctantly agreed to my transfer to bet365 score history。

While at Brandeis University，I benefited from the specific guidance of two professors，One is my doctoral thesis advisor，A famous Jewish historian who later became the chairman of the Department of Comparative History，Professor Bernard Wasserstein from Oxford University，We all call him "Professor Shui Shi"，Because his name is German，Translated into Chinese is Shuishi。"Professor Shui Shi" is a typical gentleman，Young success，Maybe only a few years older than me，Already a full professor at that time，And there are many honorary titles。He is interested in China，Especially interested in Chinese Jewish studies，Have visited China many times for research，I insist on choosing the history of bet365 score security as my doctoral thesis，He seems a little reluctant，But in thesis design、Information sources，Still gave me crucial help。Under his guidance，I checked the archives of the British Colonial Office and the Foreign Office，These became the key first-hand information for my doctoral thesis。Later，"Professor Waterstones" returns to Oxford University to chair Jewish Studies。I visited the UK with a delegation from the Chinese Academy of bet365 score Sciences in the 1990s，Meet a fellow of the British Academy，Also talked about "Professor Shui Shi"。

Another mentor of mine is Professor Barry Friedman of Heller College，He is my outside tutor，Also a good mentor。Berry is a labor economist、Disciple of Professor Franco Modigliani, Nobel Prize winner in Economics at MIT，Comprehensive knowledge system，Clearly organized teaching，Very kind-hearted person，Good reputation among students。Berry himself is also interested in China，Later, he visited China many times as an expert on the bet365 score security system reform of the World Bank。When in the United States，Berry’s office is always open，I’m going to ask for advice，He also answers every question，Not as "time-conscious" as the history professors。I asked Barry，Both Brandeis University，Why students can get more help at Heller College？Berry said lightly: "That is why we are here for."(This is our duty) This sentence will never be forgotten by me。At that time I was suffering in a spiritual desert，Listen to this，I believe that helping others is a teacher’s duty，It is also the purpose of life。After I return to China，Bairui came to China to investigate the reform of the bet365 score security system，Sometimes please ask me to help with translation。I can find time whenever I can，Everyone helped him translate as always，And learn from him。I understand his thoughts very well，Because he also knows a little Chinese，Once I translated “ahead of my time”，He heard it，Just ask me how I know what he is going to say next。

There is another person worth mentioning in the history department，That’s Professor Steven Schuck。bet365 score is a well-deserved scholar who has “sharpened his sword for ten years”，I studied at Harvard for ten years before getting my Ph.D.，But his doctoral thesis "The End of French Predominance in Europe" became a classic as soon as it was published。Professor Shuke is also a legend among students，It is said that his private collection of books can open a library。Professor Shuke in real life is an outspoken person、People who have no city government。His lectures are very lively，also particularly in-depth，Not many words，But the perspective is unique。His General Introduction to Contemporary European History is a required course，Counted as double credits，The book list is very long，There are sixty or seventy books every week。I asked him once，What should I do if you can’t finish reading so many books？bet365 score asked me back，“Are you a graduate student？"I answered: "Yes。”“Graduate students don’t know how to study yet？"After saying that, bet365 score walked away。The best comment bet365 score gave me was "You are really OK"，I am very contented。

During studying in the United States，Not many Chinese people，But we have a lot of interactions with each other。At that time，Vice Dean Ru Xin happens to be visiting Harvard，Specializing in the history of philosophy and civilization。We, a few international students from the Chinese Academy of bet365 score Sciences, went to his house to have his teeth punched，Eat the "Ru's Roast Chicken" cooked by him，Chat for a while with Teacher Xia who is always smiling。Vice President Ru Xin said，If you don’t understand the history of Western thought, you will write it randomly，It is better to translate some famous works，These words are quite realistic。I am in the most difficult time of studying，Mr. He Zhaowu from the Institute of Philosophy visited Brandeis，We walked all the way on campus，Said a lot of encouraging words to me，He said，The time spent working is not in vain，But learn in life，This is a dream experience。He also asked me to write a manuscript，I hope I will choose an influential Western masterpiece to be translated into Chinese，Published by The Commercial Press。I chose Max Weber's "Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism"。Mr. He repeatedly said hello，But he wrote a letter after returning to Beijing，This book has been translated by someone else，Let me choose another one，I happened to be writing "Nietzsche and Lu Xun" at the time，I chose Nietzsche’s "On the Genealogy of Morals"，Translating this short book took me on and off for two years，This is a later story。

　1983，Teacher Zhu Chuanyi from the Institute of American Studies, Chinese Academy of bet365 score Sciences, visited Heller College for a short term，Chat with us sometimes，When we talk about "bet365 score security", there is no corresponding system or concept in China，So we decided to translate it into Chinese first。We tried “bet365 score Protection”，Later I discovered that “bet365 score protection” has another English equivalent，Should be “bet365 score protection”，Other possibilities also have more appropriate responses，For example, "bet365 score safety net" should be "bet365 score safety net"，And "bet365 score insurance" should be "bet365 score insurance"。After several discussions, I chose “bet365 score Security”。Teacher Zhu Chuanyi reported this to the central government，Thinks it is important to establish China’s bet365 score security system，After getting approval from the highest level，He is very excited，He has repeatedly encouraged us to continue research，This also promotes my research direction。
