He has worked in the front line of teaching and scientific research for a long time, cares about his classmates, rewards the excellent and punishes the bad, is conscientious and meticulous, and is deeply loved by academic circles and students. From 1950s to retirement, a large number of scholars have been trained. They are old, middle-aged and young, and their nationalities are all over the world. They have made important contributions to the research and education of ancient Chinese literature. After his illness, Mr. Chu Binjie was optimistic and cheerful, and struggled with the disease for a long time. His death is a great loss to the study and education of ancient literature in China. Peng Qingsheng, an early student of Chu Binjie and a retired professor in beijing language and culture university, once said: "Mr. Chu is learned, talented, famous, elegant and more popular, but there is no shelf in the corridor of the Literature and History Building. On the way outside the library, canteen and philosophy building, there are often groups of students around Mr. Chu and have a cordial conversation. Teacher Qi's hearty laughter is very infectious. " Peng Qingsheng once praised Chu Binjie's moral articles, which made his disciples deeply admire him, but Chu Binjie said, "I have no moral articles. I only have four words: be kind to others. "
Chu Binjie was buried in Fenghuang Mountain Cemetery in Changping, Beijing on April 14, 2008. His tombstone is engraved with his own epitaph: he studied literature and philosophy. I have written some articles and commented on many celebrities in the past, but I have been thinking about life in my later years. He has experienced, moved, happy, sad, thanked, hated, seen and heard all kinds of human disasters. On the other hand, he should be said to be a very lucky man. Then, masturbate and rest in peace.
