If I remember it correctly, a Prof at Peking U also refused  摘帽右派与改正右派 about him/her.

This person became a 右派 in 1950s. In 1980s, he was asked to participate a meeting about take off the hat. He/she refused to go the meeting, and replied: the hat was put on my head by you, and now it is you to take it off. It has nothing to do with me. 

I am quite confident the person is not from math dept. Otherwise, I should know.

If he she is from physics dept, Borisq could know.

I think that he/she refused. ``Decline" is more gentle/polite.

But if you have different views or expnantions, it is ok to me.

If I decline your invitation to do something, it is polite and gentle.

The Prof at Peking U refused the meeting since he/she despised the whole thing in my understanding.

No, he didn't think he is a right element.

What I heard is he has nothing to do with it since he is just a teacher at Peking U.

People can do whatever they want, but he/she is whatever he/she is. That is why people respect him.

欧元新年好。相信他是一个有个人信仰的人,也许正是这个原因他被打成右派。我认识个人是个西餐厨师,也

解放前他是一个外国人家里的男佣,日子久了受外国主人的影响他也入了教。他一心感激那个主人对他二个孩子的培养让他们都在教会学校读到高中。所以被打

Can be true since many faculty of Peking U were from Yan Jing U

The current campus of Peking U is actually the campus of Yan Jing U, which was a 教会学校. So it is not strange some faculty may be Christian or Catholic. But I am not sure. When I was in Beijing, I was at my 20s and too young to know many things.

燕京原先就是个教会学校,司徒雷登办学时的校训;因真理,得自由,以服务。

Freedom through truth for service.

You are very correct

I was wondering why the campus of Peking U was called Yan Yuan in my early days there. Gradually, I know the history of Peking U and  燕京 U a little bit better. In the campus of Peking U, you can find a lot things about 燕京 U. 

I am not familiar with Shanghai. Hope some day, I can spend some times there to learn.

当时一些人拒绝签字认错,向上申诉。往往加重处罚。到了文革以后,政治气氛开始改善,尤其在大城市大学等单位。

经过文革,很多人对政治看透了,无所谓了。
