Cai Yuanpei's father was the eldest son, and he was divided into one floor and one bottom, plus a riding building.

Cai's grandfather was a pawnshop manager, and he bought this property with a little savings. Cai's father was a bank manager, but he died relatively early. His mother, Mrs. Zhou, was smart and capable, and raised her children. ✔️He was diligent and studious, participated in the imperial examination and became a scholar, and entered the Hanlin revision.

During his tenure as the Minister of Education and the President of Peking University, he hired Lu Xun to work together. After Lu Xun's death, he spared no effort to promote the publication of "The Complete Works of Lu Xun". ✔️In the troubled times of the Republic of China, his life can be described as ups and downs, and he has experienced several resignations, going abroad and other changes, but his patriotic and national salvation heart has remained unchanged. He is committed to abolishing the feudal education system and laying the foundation for China's new education. His historical contributions have been widely praised by all walks of life.
