39 years ago, Dr. Noumoff began teaching in the Department of Political Science at McGill University, now it is the time he will be retiring. As a world well-known scholar on the issues of China's Studies, Dr. Noumoff has developed a wide deep friendship with both Chinese leaders and ordinary Chinese people. He has been to China many times and has done a lot of things which has benefited bilateral relations between Canada and China in the past decades. He has been regarded as a "people ambassador" of Canada-China friendship.
As soon as he received his Doctorate Degree in Political Science from New York University, he came to New Brunswick Canada and after one year there, together with Dr. Lin Da-Guang, a world famous Chinese Canadian scholar at McGill, co-created the Center for East Asian Studies of McGill University. Dr. Noumoff served also as the director of the Center of Developing Areas of McGill University, the director of Undergraduate Studies of the Political Science Department, senior Senator of Senate of McGill University and a member of the Board of Governance of McGill University. He served on the faculty of both the Department of Political Science and the Department of East Asian Studies. As a specialist among a very few scholars in western countries on the Studies of Communist parties, he became the old friend of several developing countries such as North Korea, Cuba, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and China.
He loves China. As the member of first Canada-China Friendship Delegation, he visited China in the early1970s including his first trip to Yan'an - the symbol of the Chinese Revolution. Later, he visited China almost each year and had a number of meetings with Chinese leaders. For example, he was invited as the guest to have a personal visit to the home of Fei Xiaotong, one Chinese national leader who was President of the Democratic League and the father of modern Anthropology. In the early1980s, Dr. Noumoff invited a delegation of economic &trade officials of the Chinese government to Canada as a business visit after the delegation finished its official visit in the USA. He made a series of arrangements for the delegation to visit Canadian enterprises and hold meetings with Canadian entrepreneurs. This was a welcome opportunity for Chinese officials to learn something from western countries while China was at the early stage of the Economic Reform and Opening to the Outside World. The leader of the delegation became the Prime Minister of China in the late 1990s and has been esteemed as China's leading economic reformer. Dr. Noumoff met the leader several times later both in China and in Canada when the Prime Minister paid a national official visit to Canada. Dr. Noumoff always brought to the attention the results of his research, to Chinese leaders when he had any chance to meet them as long as he thought the information could benefit China. He also took those opportunities to recommend his students or visiting scholars to Chinese leaders so that these Chinese students could have more opportunities in China after they finished their studies and returned home.
Beside being the friend of leaders, Dr. Noumoff is the excellent teacher and friend of ordinary Chinese people. Many Chinese students were benefited from his warm-hearted aid. I clearly remembered the day when I came to Montreal as an international student. It was a very cold snowy day in Montreal. My plane was delayed for hours and arrived at the airport late at night. Dr. Noumoff had been waiting for me for several hours. He picked me up like a friend while he was such a famous scholar. I was quite moved by his warm heart that he already found an apartment for me and took me thereby himself and arranged for his other students to help me handle some practical issues such as registration, campus visiting, international student affairs, medical cards, etc. He always loved to help Chinese students. I accompanied him to the airport a couple of times to pick up other Chinese students in the later years. He and his wife always invited Chinese students to visit their home and have dinner with them. He encouraged his students to go back to China and serve their own country. For example, one visiting scholar became an official in the central government after he finished his study at McGill and went back to China. Through this student, Dr. Noumoff became the consultant of a few provincial and municipal governments, which these governments outsourced from Dr. Noumoff and imported foreign investment and commercial technology.
He also did his best to provide helps for Chinese students who wanted to stay in Canada. For example, I received a job interview when I finished my library degree. I forwarded my preparations for a site interview to Dr. Noumoff and hoped he could give me some advice. I was surprised when I got his feedbacks so fast. In his email, he corrected all my spelling errors and added a lot tips for me. His encouragement increased my confidence. This help contributed to my success in finding a professional job as soon as I finished my studies.
Dr. Noumoff has always been full of righteousness and morality. He brought back the CDs from China and showed the students in his class about the historical facts of Chinese victims of Nanjing who were killed during the Second World War by Japanese soldiers when Japan invaded China. He also led the fight resulting in the University refusing a million dollar donation from a Japanese war criminal. He was happy with the achievements of Chinese economic reform, however, at the same time, he was caring about the living conditions of Chinese ordinary people, especially workers and farmers. At the early years of Chinese Reform and Opening to the Outside, he was the only foreigner who had the possibility to teach a class for party and government leaders in the four levels of central, provincial, and municipal and county party schools. At his office, Lu Xun' s portrait hung on the wall. You can easily find all collections written both in English and in Chinese by Chairman Mao and Deng Xiaoping. He is a real knowledgeable great scholar in Chinese studies. It is no any extraordinary if we call him the "people ambassador".
Everyone might have some precious memories for something in his whole life. For me, I was lucky to have such a wonderful opportunity to complete my MA degree under the mentorship of such a knowledgeable great scholar at McGill University. It was the most important and wonderful period of my whole life.
麥吉爾大學政治係教授努莫夫博士在執教39年後即將退休。作為世界知名的中國問題專家，努莫夫博士和許多中國領導人及普通老百姓結下了深厚友誼，他數十次訪問過中國，為加中友好奔波，堪稱加中友好的使者。
努莫夫博士在獲得紐約大學政治學博士學位後，和國際著名華裔學者林達光先生一起作為共同創建人創立了麥吉爾大學東亞研究中心，林達光先生出任首任主任，努莫夫博士出任付主任。後來林達光先生退休後，努莫夫博士又出任過該中心主任，努莫夫博士還出任過麥吉爾大學發展地區研究中心主任，政治係負責本科教育的主任，麥吉爾大學資深評議員，學校管理委員會成員等職務。他是政治係教授，東亞係兼職教授。作為西方社會研究的專家學者，努莫夫博士也是很多國家領導人的朋友，他去過北韓，是卡斯特羅的老朋友，在泰柬邊境會過喬森潘。
但他更熱愛中國，作為加中建交的積極參與者之一，作為當時的加國政府對華顧問，他是第一個加中友好代表團的成員，並在七十年代初期訪問了延安。他到費孝通家作過客，見過很多老一輩的中國領導人。八十年代初期，努莫夫博士作為主邀請人，邀請了當時到美國訪問的一個中國經貿代表團順道訪問加拿大，並安排代表團參觀加拿大的企業，和加拿大企業家座談，這對當時處於改革開放初期的中國官員是一次難得的學習機會。代表團的團長後來成為黨和國家重要領導人，他成功地進行了中國經濟改革，被外界譽為中國的“經濟沙皇”。努莫夫博士後來多次在中國和加拿大見過這位領導人。隻要是對中國有益，努莫夫博士都會把他研究的最新成果，或什麽建議，或美加企業的投資意向書等推薦給中國領導人。他還利用這個機會向領導人推薦在加國學習的留學生訪問學者等，為他們學成回國創造更有利的條件。
除了是領導人的朋友，努莫夫博士更是普通中國人的良師益友。很多中國學生得益於努莫夫博士的幫助。我是99年初來加拿大留學的，到達機場的那天是加拿大有史以來少見的大雪天氣，我的飛機誤了點，但努莫夫博士在機場等了我好幾個小時，沒有一點大學者的架子。特別令我感動的是他已幫我找好了公寓，並委托了好幾位他的學生幫我辦理入學注冊等事宜。這樣的事很多，僅我後來就陪他去機場接過好幾位中國同學。他和他夫人還常常邀請中國學生去他家作客。他總是鼓勵中國學生學成回國報效自己的祖國。有位訪問學者回國後在國家機關工作，經這位訪問學者牽線，努莫夫博士成了好幾個中國省市和地區的顧問，這些地區也充分利用了努莫夫博士的資源，為這些地區招商引資。
對留下來的學生他也盡最大可能地提供幫助。我記得剛畢業時我得到了美國一所大學的工作麵試機會，在我應試前我把我所想到的麵試問題寫成了書麵答案發給了努莫夫博士，讓他有空幫我看一看。沒想到努莫夫博士很快就回了郵件，他不僅給我改了錯字和用法不當的詞匯，還給我列出了其他可能出現的問題，最主要的是他給了我很多貼士和鼓勵，使我增加了自信心。每次我請他做我的工作證明人他都立刻答複我。後來我在一畢業就得到了一份專業工作，很大程度上要得益於努莫夫博士的幫助。
努莫夫博士充滿了正義感，他在南京訪問了被侵華日軍大屠殺遇難者紀念館後，把帶回的光盤多次在課堂上向加國學生播放，讓年輕一代了解史實真相。在他任東亞中心主任期間，他拒絕了一位曾是日本軍國主義者的數百萬美元的捐款。他為中國改革開放的成果歡欣鼓舞，但他更關心中國的工人和農民的生活。在中國的改革開放初期，他曾在中國中央黨校和地方黨校講過學。在他的辦公室，掛的一幅是魯迅的畫像。你可以在他的書架上找到毛澤東全集和鄧小平全集。這是一位真正的中國通，是一位名副其實的民間大使。
人的一生有很多值得記憶的東西。但對於我來說，能有幸在這樣一位博學而慈祥的老人指導下在麥吉爾大學完成文學碩士學位是我一生中最最難忘的一件人生大事。
