Chen Sheng, the father-in-law, is much easier to deal with than Secretary Yu, the mother-in-law. After Canglong waited outside the ward for ten minutes, Secretary Yu left the hospital. Of course, he did not give Canglong a good look when he left. When it came to Chen Sheng
When he came out, he looked him up and down, and then said, "Are you my future son-in-law?"
Canglong naturally nodded. Men always have their own topics to talk about. Canglong and the Chinese professor from Yale University are no exception. The most important thing is that both of them are engaged in education now, so when they talk, the topic
Just more.
"It's rare that someone can make Xiao Yu so angry. You are the first one I have ever seen. Even Xiao Xue doesn't have this ability." The two of them talked while walking. Chen Sheng's attitude towards Secretary Yu was obviously not very respectful.
Just like two couples who came out of the revolution, he never cared about Secretary Yu's identity. From the beginning to the end, he always called her Xiao Yu.
"I didn't want to be angry with her, it's just that she always regarded me as a burden." Canglong said calmly.
"You young man, you have a very good attitude. Our Xiaoxue did not choose the wrong person." Chen Sheng nodded, "Do you work in Dongning No. 1 Middle School now?"
"Yes, I work in No. 1 Middle School." Canglong nodded, "Why, you also worked in No. 1 Middle School before?"
"Is this true? I have a friend who has been working in No. 1 Middle School for more than ten years now. I don't know if he has retired now." Chen Sheng said, looking at Canglong, "Don't be so polite when you talk to me. If
If you don't mind, just call me father-in-law. If you're really embarrassed, just call me Lao Chen. That's what Xiao Yu called me before."
Hearing this, Cang Long's heart moved. It was obvious that Chen Sheng regarded him as a relative, which made him feel warm in his heart. However, he still did not call his father-in-law, but said: "Okay, who is your friend? I don't know.
Do you recognize him or not?"
"Sun Qingguo!" Lao Chen said or sighed, "He and I, Xiao Yu and his wife were all educated youths who went to the countryside together. Looking back on those years, it is really emotional."
"You mean Principal Sun?" Cang Long counted the entire school and found that the only ones who seemed to be of the same generation as Lao Chen were Principal Sun and Director Yan.
"Are there any other old teachers named Sun?" Lao Chen asked.
Canglong smiled and did not dwell on this problem, but asked: "He has retired now and is leisurely growing flowers and grass at home."
"It seems that you have a good relationship with him." Lao Chen was a little strange, but he is not a person who likes to play riddles, so he continued, "Back then, he and I fought from the educated youth team to the school, and from the school to the academia.
The two are sworn enemies from beginning to end on academic issues. How could you, an overseas Chinese born in France, have such a good relationship with him? Could it be that this old guy has had an epiphany?"
Canglong didn't say anything or ask any questions. Lao Chen obviously regarded him as a relative. Otherwise, such a secretive topic would definitely not be easily discussed by someone he had just known for less than half an hour.
, he naturally would not think that Lao Chen is the kind of person who can't hold back his words. How can it be so simple for a man to capture a strong woman like Secretary Yu?
He could see that Secretary Yu forced Lao Chen away, but he never forgot about Lao Chen and never changed his mind from the beginning to the end. The man who could make Secretary Yu die-hard would be damned if he wanted to be simple.
"We just have a working relationship." Canglong said calmly.
"Work relationship?" Lao Chen didn't believe it, but didn't go into details. He just said, "Son, how long do you decide to wait for Xiaoxue? One year, two years, or ten years?"
"Why do you ask that?" Canglong stopped and looked at Old Chen strangely.
"I mean, if Xiaoxue has to lie in a hospital bed for the rest of his life, will you wait for him for the rest of his life?" Lao Chen asked.
"I will try my best, if possible." Canglong nodded firmly, "But I will try my best to make her wake up. I will definitely do it."
Hearing this, Lao Chen took a deep look at Canglong and seemed to notice something, but did not speak. After a long silence, he said: "You shouldn't give up everything you have for Xiaoxue. If she really can't wake up, then you can
Find someone else, don't waste your youth, your life has just begun."
This sentence made Canglong feel bitter in his heart, because he had no youth. After thinking about it, he said: "I can't make any promises, I can only do my best, unless the situation forces it."
"Yeah." Old Chen looked a little surprised, looked at Canglong and shook his head, saying, "Do you know what I fought with Old Sun back then?"
"What?" Canglong was surprised.
"The collision of traditional culture and Western culture will have an impact on China's education sector in the future." Lao Chen suddenly became serious. The two walked to the pavilion aside, and Lao Chen said, "Come, sit and chat."
Canglong nodded, sat down, and said, "Principal Sun insists on tradition, but you insist on Western culture?"
"You guessed it right. I insist that Chinese education should learn from the Western model, but also retain its essence. Lao Sun said that China has China's national conditions, so it must adhere to the tradition unchanged, but now it seems that this tradition, Lao Sun
I should be very disappointed." Lao Chen said.
"Yes." Canglong nodded and listened attentively. It was not suitable for him to interrupt now.
"Since the reform and opening up, China has integrated with the world, and there has been a great conflict between Chinese and Western cultures. It seems that the tradition that Lao Sun insisted on has not kept the country, but has become foreign and local." Lao Chen
He shook his head with emotion, "I'm really surprised how he could have such a good relationship with you."
"It's just a work relationship." Canglong still insisted.
"Don't fool me. Although I am old, I am not stupid. Your relationship with him must be extraordinary. You can tell that just from your tone of voice." Lao Chen said.
"You continue." Canglong didn't say anything else.
"Traditional education is correct. What I was worried about at the time was that with the impact of Western culture, the younger generation would become unimaginably rebellious under the strictures of traditional education. The traditional harsh education model was bound to be overthrown.
The impact of the Western liberalization model has even made most students hate tradition, and in the end, it does a lot of harm without any benefit." Lao Chen said helplessly, shaking his head.
Obviously, in an academic debate more than ten years ago, it has now been confirmed. The old statement reflects the current form of education. Western culture will have a great temptation for students cultivated under traditional education.
And this Western culture is not just the content of books, but more of the living habits and ways.
Over the past few decades of reform and opening up, the biggest change in China has actually been its integration with Western culture, which has allowed Western culture to flow into China. In the end, tradition has been criticized and has become a shackles on young people.
The frown in Lao Chen's eyes told Cang Long that he actually didn't want to see this result. If possible, he even hoped that Lao Sun's point of view was correct. However, reality often gives people a result that they want but are disappointed when they get it.
.
"Then what do you think, if we prevent the conflict between Eastern and Western cultures in the early stages, how should we prevent it?" Canglong suddenly asked.
"It's useless for us to say this now, but when I discussed it with Lao Sun, we actually wanted to relax the rigor of the traditional model of education, that is, teachers should put aside their identities. There is a saying in traditional culture that one day is a teacher.
, I am a father for life, but I think it would be better if I could be a teacher for a day and a friend for a lifetime." Lao Chen said.
"Once a teacher, always a friend?" Canglong's mind turned around and he suddenly felt that this idea seemed to be very feasible if developed in the current education model. However, how to become friends with students became very difficult.
It's difficult. I'm afraid any teacher would find this difficult problem.
However, he quickly got the answer, so he said: "Think about it, the education model of traditional culture, whether at home or in school, is like a tight curse, but if students can be free to relax in school, they don't need to
There are so many constraints, and in the family, they will be constrained. In contrast, students will naturally prefer to stay in school, and they will naturally learn more. This is what I originally wanted
Imagine, especially in today's education, if such a model is implemented, it does not seem to be difficult for teachers and students to become friends. The difficulty is that teachers are unwilling to let go of their identities."
"They will worry about students' poor academic performance. In the eyes of Chinese parents, there is no future. No future means that their children will go to the bottom of society." Canglong reasoned out a fact that even he himself felt
Ridiculous logic.
"Poor academic performance does not mean that there is no future." Lao Chen was a little disgusted with Canglong's reasoning, and said with a deep frown, "China is just not more modern, and the construction of various public facilities has not yet started. If
Once you get started, it's much easier, but it's the government's responsibility."
"What do you mean, let the government organize competitions for various specialties, just like Americans and Europeans do?" Soryu asked.
"Yes, in fact, the most lacking educational resources in China are not schools, but the construction of sports culture outside schools." Lao Chen said, "In the United States, there are various sports events, basketball games, baseball games,
Rugby games, various sports cultures, and the growth of American children are all accompanied by one of these sports. Once you engage in teamwork sports, what an impact it will have on a growing young man."
"Yes." Canglong nodded. Children who have been influenced by sports culture will not only have good health when they grow up, but will also be more positive, optimistic and cheerful in character, and have excellent teamwork skills. The most important thing is that they have been
Have your own goals, rather than confusedly choosing this or that.
Because of this, the United States and Europe were the first countries to popularize the Internet, but children in these countries do not spend most of their time at home with computers, because for them, computers are not necessary and the only foreign-related activity.
They also have friends, they have partners, they are like close comrades-in-arms on the sports field.
Comparing Chinese families, most children actually spend their time in school. In their spare time after school, teachers will assign heavy homework and complete it under the supervision of their parents. Even if they get rewards from their parents, they will get
In fact, there is no time to play with some sports equipment. In the end, most of the time it is used as a decoration or even forgotten.
Not to mention the kind of exercise habits that have been accumulated over time. As a result, more and more pressure accumulates, so adolescent rebellion appears, and parents and teachers give their children a headache.
