陶行知与胡适至少有“六同”:同是安徽省徽州老乡(陶是歙县人,胡是绩溪人),两人同岁,自幼同学,又同在美国哥伦比亚大学获博士学位,同是美国哲学家、教育家杜威的高足,回国后同在教育领域工作,一南一北,都做了高等学府的教授,各自在新文化领域和新教育战线开出一片新天地。两人私交虽好,但投身社会后在思想情感和政治立场上渐行渐远,走上了截然不同的人生道路。陶行知曾对人说过,我最看不起的同学有两个:一是胡适,靠洋人吃饭;二是孙科,靠老子吃饭。 Tao Xingzhi and Hu Shi at least “Six different ”: the same fellow in Huizhou, Anhui Province (Tao is Yixian, Hu is Jixi people), two of the same age, his childhood students, but also with the University of Columbia doctor The degree is the same as that of the United States philosopher and educator Dewey. After returning to China, he worked in the field of education. From south to north, he has been a professor of institutions of higher learning, each opening up a new world in the field of new culture and new education. Although their personal relationship is good, they stepped away from their emotional and political positions after embarking on a very different life path. Tao Xingzhi once said to people, my most despised classmates have two: First, Hu Shi, rely on foreigners to eat; second Sun Ke, rely on the old man to eat.
