Chapter 339: Freedom to Responsible

When Yu Dong appeared on the playground again, Wang Jun and the others had already found an excellent location for the camera.

The students were already seated. When Yu Dong came on stage, led by the teachers, there was a burst of applause.

The temporary stage was set up in front of the flag-raising platform. Yu Dong stood on the stage, with the national flag fluttering in the wind behind him. Yu Dong felt a little emotional. Children who grew up under the red flag could not ignore this touch of red no matter where they went.

After the applause gradually subsided, Tian Weizhang walked to the microphone and said, "The weather is very good today, and my mood is as good as the weather today. Our Red Star Primary School has gone through ups and downs for fifty-eight years.

During this period, countless outstanding talents came out of Hongxing Primary School, and they radiated their own light in all walks of life... Today, fifty-eight years later, I am very proud to tell you that we have once again welcomed back an outstanding alumnus.

Yu Dong, his works are famous throughout the world..."

It can be seen that Tian Weizhang was indeed very excited. He first introduced the history of the school, and then introduced Yu Dong grandly, praising Yu Dong beyond words.

After Tian Weizhang finished speaking, Yu Dong walked up and said, "Good morning everyone, I am Yu Dong."

The leader controlled the rhythm very well. After Yu Dong started, he led everyone in a short round of applause.

After the brief applause stopped, Yu Dong continued, "I am very honored to be able to return to my alma mater and chat with you face to face. Since it is a chat, I think the atmosphere can be more relaxed. More than ten years ago, I was just like you.

, more than ten years later, you may be like me. More than ten years ago, I was a student, and more than ten years later, my identity has been transformed and I have become a teacher."

"So, today I would like to share with you some of my personal thoughts based on these two identities. When I was a primary school student, my teachers and parents told me to study hard and make progress every day. But at that time, I didn't know

, what is upward——”

Speaking of this, Yu Dong pointed to the sky, "I was thinking, are you going to the sky?"

The joke worked very well and the children all laughed.

"Although I didn't understand what upward means at that time, I probably had a concrete impression of studying well. Studying well means understanding the content in the textbook, mastering the exam questions, and completing the homework assigned by the teacher."

"In the beginning, I did well and my grades were okay. But one day, I don't know exactly which day it was, but one day, I started to be interested in things other than textbooks... Speaking of which

At that time, many students must have wondered, no, we obviously became interested in things other than textbooks very early, and we were even only interested in things other than textbooks."

The students below nodded wildly, indicating that Yu Dong had spoken to their hearts.

Yu Dong said with a smile, "When I came in the morning, I saw several students playing marbles behind the teaching building. The gameplay is very interesting. First, find a place to draw a circle, and each person places a marble in the circle.

Then draw a line a few meters away. Players who participate in the game stand behind the line and hold a piece of tile in their hands and throw it towards the circle. Whoever's tile pushes the marbles out, these marbles belong to him.

"

"I think this game should be very popular, because I saw a lot of circles on the ground nearby. Are you more interested in marbles than studying?"

Many students wanted to nod, but they didn't dare. The principal and teachers were right next to them, so it was not easy to admit that they preferred to play.

"But, the interest I am talking about is more than that. I wonder if you have ever thought about a question, why can you throw the tiles in your hand into the circle? Some students may say, because I use too much force on my hands. Then why

Some people can throw it into the circle, but some people can't? Why do some tiles slide for a certain distance after landing, but some tiles cannot slide? Why can even the same tile sometimes slide?

, but sometimes you can’t slide?”

"There are so many things I want to figure out, why the pictures and sounds appear on the TV, what does "Diary of a Madman" mean, why the cicadas outside the window always scream... At this point, you students may have a feeling,

It’s not necessarily easier to figure these things out than to learn things from books.”

"But I believe that everyone here has been curious about the world and worked hard to solve their doubts. It was also at this time that I began to understand the saying "Study hard and make progress every day. Upward" refers to us.

Constantly break through yourself and reach another new height. Learning should not be limited to book knowledge, but also an exploration of the world."

"So, I sincerely hope that every student can always maintain their curiosity about the world and be able to break through themselves every day. I also believe that every student has his own growth code and unique talents. As long as he bravely pursues

, if you explore, you will definitely be able to..."

Yu Dong didn't take the manuscript, but his speech was very long. He talked from the student's perspective and also from the teacher's perspective.

Considering the audience he is facing, Yu Dong's words are very simple and try to be understood by students.

Reporter Wang Jun couldn't help but applaud, "It's so well said."

Many people have a problem with their speeches: they overly show off the knowledge they have learned, but neglect to express their true feelings. But Yu Dong’s speech explained it in a simple and profound way, making it easy for people to listen. This is a brilliant speech.

The talents possessed by the person.

Moreover, this speech may seem simple, but its structure is not simple at all. It cannot be delivered casually.

If you think about it carefully, you will understand that Yu Dong took "study hard and make progress every day" as the theme of the first paragraph at the beginning, but he was able to throw it out first, then dismantle it and then introduce it, making the whole speech very complete and deepening at the same time.

theme.

When the speech ended and it was time to interact with the students, Yu Dong simply walked off the stage and went among the students. Wang Jun waved to Li Hai, "Follow me quickly, don't miss the content."

Because of the close contact, the students became bolder and began to dare to ask Yu Dong some questions.

"Teacher, are your books read by many people? Are there many foreigners reading them?"

"Have you ever been abroad?"

"Are the buildings abroad very tall?"

"I heard that students abroad are very liberal, right?"

Hearing that the students were very curious about foreign countries, Yu Dong also understood very well. Curiosity itself is human nature, but he still felt that he should talk to the students about freedom.

Yu Dong pressed his hand, motioning for them to stop for a while, and then said, "Everyone has a different view of freedom. Some people think that no one cares about it, which is freedom. There are no obstacles and no restrictions in life, which is freedom. But

In my opinion, a person's true freedom is to be able to restrain his own selfish desires and know what he should and should not do."

"Compared to freedom, I hope you can understand another word, called responsibility. As a teacher, you must teach and educate people, preach and learn, and as a student, you must study hard and respect your teachers. And every Chinese, whether it is you or me,
