After leaving, I said to Director Liang: "Director Liang, please take good care of them and make some decent dark wood crafts for this director."
He looked at me and said, "It's better to give me some money and forget it."
I smiled bitterly, "That would be too tacky. Just like that, you send someone to do it as soon as possible and then give it to him privately. We will have long-term contact with them in the future. There are so many well-known universities in Beijing. We need to have good relations with them.
It’s very important. In this way, other people should also give the same gift, which is of a slightly lower grade.”
He agreed repeatedly.
This is different when you are the leader, at least you can express yourself freely in such matters. Sometimes the expression of power is actually very simple, that is, a matter of one sentence.
Then I thought: Who should I contact about this matter? After all, this candidate is from Jiangnan. How can people believe that this candidate is the child of a leader or expert from Peking University?
I suddenly thought of a person: the former director of the Provincial Education Committee, now the secretary of the Education Working Committee.
I called him immediately. After the call was dialed, I asked him with great respect: "Secretary Leng, are you free now? I have something to report to you."
He said: "Is it convenient to talk on the phone?"
I replied: "I want to report to you in person. It is a matter for the main leaders in the province."
He said: "Oh, come here right away. I'll wait for you in the office."
I immediately called and asked Xiao Sui to wait for me in the hotel parking lot.
Secretary Leng is still sitting in his old office. Many people are still very superstitious. Although Secretary Leng is a senior intellectual, he is no exception.
"Which leader's matter? What matter?" he asked me just after I sat down in his office. At this time, he was full of official air in front of me, and his expression was so light that it made people feel unpredictable. It seemed that he
The incident with Ruan Jie never happened, and he still maintained a majestic posture in front of me.
Of course I know that this is just his external performance. In fact, he and I will always remember that incident in our hearts, but neither he nor I can show it at all. Some things can only be like this.
Keep it in his heart. But it's hard to say whether he is willing to come forward regarding my matter and to what extent he can do so. After all, everyone is different, and there are many ungrateful people in this world.
Therefore, I decided to speak to him in the name of leading the matter. Judging from the phone conversation I had with him just now, my method seemed to be more effective.
Many people around us are like this. The person we fear most and the person we want to please most is our leader. This may have something to do with our education.
Most of our children are not afraid of their parents, but they follow their teachers' words as if they were divine decrees. What's more, our children have received a kind of enslaving education in school since childhood.
It is said that the Chinese people have a servile nature. I believe many people have to admit this. They all say that we should liberate people and let them become masters. So we have New China, so the Chinese people think that we are no longer slaves, but we are the masters.
, so there is no servility. But the reality is always crueler than imagined. Slavery does not mean that you want it if you want it, and you don’t want it if you don’t want it. The thought of servility and the thought of imperial power go hand in hand. Without slaves, how can there be a master? The thought of imperial power is traditional.
Part of culture, it is undeniable that slavish thinking is also a part of traditional culture. Traditional culture is a kind of national thinking. Culture penetrates into people’s subconscious cognition, and such cognition affects our judgment of things. Therefore,
Slavery has become an integral part of traditional culture and a cultural attribute of the Chinese people.
People are not born slaves. People are not born as humans, but are more of a natural attribute. There are only food chains in nature, without domination and being ruled. It can be said that people are born equal and free. Slavery is a subcategory of traditional culture, and we must let
A person can only have slavishness if someone teaches him and teaches him to accept it before he has the ability to discern. Only in this way can a person have slavishness implanted in his brain as a subconscious standard.
Therefore, there is no doubt that Chinese education serves such a function, implanting servility into the minds of the people. For this reason, China’s education can be characterized as slavish education without reservation.
First of all, obedience is the beginning of enslavement. Everyone of us has heard of obedience. It can be said that each of us grew up hearing these two words. There is an "hidden rule" in China - obedient children are
Good boy.
Parents are their children's first teachers. They are the ones who bring their children into this complicated world. When a child is disobedient, parents will get angry and punish the child, so they will know something when the child is ignorant.
, Obedient parents will reward them, and disobedient parents will punish them. Children all want to be pampered, so we have entered such a cycle since we were young. The more obedient we are, the more favored we are.
Something I started doing when I was young.
Therefore, the failure of education in China is not a failure in the college entrance examination, but a failure starting from early childhood education.
Education in the West is different. No matter how old the child is, the awareness of survival will be emphasized to them. No matter what the situation or who said it, no matter how correct he is, if it goes against your life safety, life safety will always come first. In this way
Education is based on parents and teachers, that is, the whole society is unified.
And what about China? Survival is never emphasized to children, and children don’t understand what self-preservation is at all. They only have one consciousness, and that is to be obedient. If the teacher tells the parents, if they don’t obey, they are not good children. Only good children can
There are little red flowers. So there is a bloody case:
In an earthquake-stricken area, a five-year-old girl in a preschool class was punished by standing at the back door for disobedience at noon. Later, an earthquake occurred, and the teacher forgot about her in the panic. Perhaps the teacher thought she was closest to the door and ignored her. As a result
Of the sixty children in the class, fifty-nine survived, but she was the only one who died. Because she was made to stand because she didn't know whether she should run or not.
Is she stupid or is it a mistake in Chinese education? Maybe everyone has to think about how to view the obedience of Chinese people when they see something like this.
Western early childhood education is to lead children to understand the world and seek the truth. They let children feel the green in the lawn, feel the warmth in the sun, and experience life in nature. They teach the children after they are immersed in the scene.
When it comes to children's things, the children always ask weird questions as if they like to "quarrel", and Western parents will be very happy, which shows that the children know how to think. If the children do not ask questions, they will consciously guide them to think. But in China,
The method is to first teach children things in a pile of books indoors. When the children are immersed in the situation, they can name all the things. In this way, Chinese parents will be very happy and feel that their children have really strong learning abilities.
But is this really learning ability? Can a child who does not even have basic thinking skills be said to have learning ability?
Chinese parents have never really consciously guided thinking, but only teach their children to recognize. If their children ask questions, they will be surprised, because their children's questions are always unexpected. They are used to not thinking, so they are used to it.
Children don’t think. They don’t guide children to explore, they always guide children to accept.
When teaching drawing in Chinese kindergartens, the teacher first draws on the blackboard or puts an object on the podium and asks the children to follow the drawing. Whoever draws like it is the best. In European and American kindergartens, the teacher gives a proposition
, let them draw what they have in mind based on the proposition, and then tell their classmates and teachers what they drew. Even if adults look at the incomprehensible drawing, the child can still describe it clearly from his thinking. After listening to the explanation, you will
The content of the painting can be understood at a glance.
These two completely different education methods are due to the different thinking of the teachers. The Chinese teacher believes that of course I have to teach them the skills of painting first, and only when they draw things that look similar can they draw what they have in mind.
Western teachers believe that a person's nature is hidden in his initial undeveloped time. Likeness and dissimilarity are the things closest to his heart. A child's imagination is infinite and can only be stimulated in the process of expression.
For his innovation and imagination, he must first learn to express them before he can learn to express them accurately.
The Chinese teacher's idea of asking him to draw things first makes the child learn to imitate from the beginning, rather than learn to create. The child's desire for expression is suppressed because of imitation. When he masters the painting skills, he loses expression.
Skills, so he can only copy what he has seen over and over again, but cannot express what is in his heart.
Therefore, we have been enslaved since childhood - first we were made to obey, and then we were made to imitate. We have no ability to think, no desire to express, and then no ability to innovate. Because slaves do not need to innovate.
of.
Secondly, the exam-oriented education we carry out today actually strengthens this servility. From elementary school to high school, we have only one answer, our exams are only for one result, and our compositions are just echoes. We are just learning, not thinking.
There is everything in the book, and what is in the book is the truth, so why should we search? The exam is only my business, and your score cannot be given to me, so why should we cooperate? So while we became slaves, we also learned
Selfish and indifferent.
The teacher is the symbol of truth, and everything the teacher says is right. On the one hand, it is because of the authority of the teacher that children who have no ability to judge are succumbed to the authority; on the other hand, because from the beginning of consciousness, the children have accepted enslavement.
Education and obedient thinking have become deeply ingrained.
The reason why a child is obedient is that the person who speaks to him is stronger than him. If it is a child of his own age, he will not be obedient. Because he trusts you, he feels that you can protect him, and if you are powerful, you can reward him and punish him.
So what you say must be right, so he will be obedient. Because you are his savior. However, they do not understand that the savior is a human being, and human beings are not omnipotent.
Many children in the earthquake actually would not die at all because their "savior" cost them the chance to survive. A third-grade class in an earthquake-stricken area was in class on the third floor. When the earthquake came, the teacher said: "You guys
Wait, I'll go out and take a look." (To be continued)
