0429 Pretty words

The entire auditorium was silent, with only Lynch's voice echoing.

"Before me, our teacher representatives and graduating student representatives have all spoken. They have passed on to us what they have experienced, their accumulated experience, and their experiences in life."

"I am grateful to these teachers and old students for their help, so let me talk about something different, such as youth."

"You all saw, I don't have a speech!" He waved his hands again and scratched back and forth on the table of the podium. No paper flew out, which proved that he was indeed not lying.

He held the edges of the podium with both hands and tilted his head slightly, "Actually, the second before I stood here, the moment I stood up from the seat over there, I didn't know what I was going to say...

..." He pointed to his seat based on his feeling without looking.

"But when I stood here and looked at our host lady...", he smiled and glanced at the host who was about to cry, "I said her three times in such a short time, I am

Aren't you bullying her?"

There were more chuckles in the auditorium, and the atmosphere changed from serious to a little cheerful. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I didn't bully her, but I had to mention her because she was reminding me that I have to take care of her."

With my speech."

"Students, since when did we become accustomed to such a..." He frowned, raised his hand and tapped his forehead, "...'norm', and we are still bound by this 'norm'

Restraint?"

"Elders always use their rich life experience to tell us 'you should do this, child', 'you should do that, child'...", he added a curling pronunciation at the end of the word "child",

It makes this ordinary word become a little strange, like a little funny.

"We are always warned by other people's life experiences, other people's social experiences and other people's wasted years, so that someone even reminds me that I need a speech draft..."

"If we keep following these things, what about our own lives?"

"Will it also turn into another kind of life that we don't want, someone else's life, under this kind of persuasion and regulation?"

"Perhaps this kind of life is not wrong, classmates, because this kind of life is the most correct path that others have spent their years exploring for us. However, please think about a question. This is what we want.

life?"

His voice became full of sharp momentum, tearing something apart, "The norms we get from others constrain our lives, which is not the life we ​​want. Maybe we will feel that this is actually good in the future, but at least

Not now."

"This is what I want to talk to you here today, youth!"

"Youth is not only a name for the age we are now, but also an attitude towards life!"

"Try, take risks, get hurt, fly, be bold, and face our unknown and unfamiliar life path tenaciously, wave our fists, and smash all the obstacles that block our path to happiness. On the road in life

Keep moving forward!”

"This is the attitude we young people should have, this is the attitude of youth!"

He waved his fist vigorously and said a few words almost in one breath, which made people feel like they were about to suffocate, but they also felt very happy.

His voice slowed down slightly, "Maybe... we will be injured. Maybe the pain we endure is exactly what those elders have experienced. They have warned us before that we can avoid the pain."

"But it doesn't matter, students, don't be afraid of pain. It is precisely because we have personally tasted the pain of scars that we will remember it, and we will be proud because we have overcome the pain and scars!"

"This is the life we ​​want, this is our own life!"

"Free youth should not be influenced by others..."

Compared with the rigid speeches of the previous two speakers, Lynch's speech was filled with something very special, rebellious, willful, or wanton. He directly and implicitly criticized the speeches of the previous two speakers.

All their encouragement, supervision, and warnings have become "norms" that interfere with other people's lives, and this exactly arouses the recognition and resonance of the students.

In fact, the vast majority of people here have a similar life. Others only see that they have had enough food and clothing since birth, but they cannot see the indifference behind it.

From the day they are sensible, they are actually more like a dog than a person.

Their parents will punish them because "you shouldn't do this" and reward them because they followed their parents' instructions and did what they "should" do.

Their life is like that of a dog that has been carefully trained, with mechanical responses. What can and cannot be done has been stipulated for a long time. They do not need to know why some things can be done and some things cannot be done. This is

The first lesson this world teaches them.

They are not qualified to explore the world. Although they are richer than their envious peers outside the wall, they are not free.

The rules are like ropes, binding them tightly and making them unable to breathe. Even when they go to school and which school they go to, their lives are arranged.

The words they may have heard the most are "this is all for you" rather than "I respect your choice".

A bunch of poor people, poor people without youth.

However, it is precisely this group of people who resonated with Lynch's impromptu speech. They also yearn for freedom, for true, unbridled youth - those children outside the wall can indulge in a quarter of a person's life's youth.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! They may not be rich, but their spirits are free!

When he returned to his seat, everyone around him was praising him. Even the teacher representatives and graduation age representatives who he hinted that he wanted to "standardize" the lives of freshmen also gave his speech high praise.

Lynch dealt with them enthusiastically, was polite, and did not neglect anyone. Everything was perfect.

The congressman's speech was very short. After all, a big shot of this level could not speak at length here. When he finished the last word and packed up his speech, the students gave him warm applause.

The orientation meeting is basically over at this moment, and all that is left are some trivial tasks.

Surprisingly, the congressman walked over to Lynch and shook hands with him, "Mr. Lynch, I didn't expect to see you here. Are you..." He looked at him curiously.

Wearing Lin Qi's school uniform.

Lynch didn't hide it, "I just reported, freshman."

The congressman quickly understood. After all, he was also a member of the Holy Peace Society. "Your choice is very wise. This is a good school." He took out his business card and handed it to Lynch, "I

I won’t disturb you anymore. If you have time, you can contact me and we can chat.”

After saying that, the two shook hands and the congressman left in a hurry.

Watching his leaving figure, Lynch glanced at the business card in his hand. This was a member of the House of Representatives, but he had the title of two committee members. It should be related to some business matters and might be used in the future.

superior.

He put the business card away, and just then Anna came over. She knew she needed to give Lynch some space.

"You just told me that the core of your speech was 'ideal', but now it has become 'youth'." The girl was a little coquettish, which made people feel numb.

Lynch blinked, "I said, every second you see me, it's a new me, so what you say doesn't depend on what I said before, but on the second it happened.

I, want to say something."

"So...complex." Anna held her forehead, "I always feel that you are perfunctory with me."

"Perfunctory?"

"How is that possible?!"

He smiled, of course it was perfunctory, Anna's attitude towards him changed too quickly, not to mention 90 degrees, 180 degrees, he was a little wary, who knows what this girl is going to do.

But no matter what she wants to do, there is absolutely no problem in taking precautions.

"What do you think of what I said?" Lynch asked a very ordinary question, but in fact he didn't really care.

Yes, what he said before was no longer what he wanted to say at this moment, but under the circumstances at that time, it seemed that those topics were more appropriate.

In fact, apart from making people a little excited at first, these words will not last long. If any of the people here really tried to resist and succeeded, then they would not be here...

Freedom, or freedom, is a dream that is imaginable and unattainable for most people here. When they wake up from the dream, reality will return.

They dare not truly face an uncertain life, because everything they have now is based on wealth.

If they lose these, they will become nothing. By then, let alone "happiness gained from freedom," they will not even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

So after the excitement, you still have to live your life how you want to, but this does not mean that these words Lynch said are useless. In fact, these words are still very inspiring for people who have gained freedom.

For example, for those young people who cannot afford to go to school and start working as soon as they graduate from high school, for example, those students in ordinary universities, freedom is definitely more valuable than "norms", and this is also the mainstream thought of the Federation, freedom is better than "norms".

life.

Those...people at the middle and lower levels of society are desperately fighting for freedom, but Lynch, and these people here, are still going further and further down the road of "normativity."

Anna obviously knew this very well. When every word came out of Lynch's mouth, she could feel a kind of exciting power filling her body, but when she thought about it after she finished speaking... tsk.
