The students at Shanghai Jiao Tong University are really amazing. The graduation commemorative magazine they produced is completely self-sufficient.
What should I do if I don’t have money to print?
Get advertising sponsorship!
Then a very strange picture appeared. When I opened the graduation issue, this page still said that everyone participated in a certain event in a certain year and a certain month, and all kinds of nostalgia and sensationalism. When I turned to the next page, a few words suddenly popped out.
An advertisement is just like the brochures of infertility hospitals in later generations.
Zhou Hexuan glanced at the graduates present. He liked the spirit of the students at Shanghai Jiao Tong University very much. Every boy wore a standard Zhongshan suit, and they were full of vigor and vitality. Unlike those at Tsinghua University and Peking University, where they had long gowns, suits and uniforms.
, there are even students who wear mandarin jackets all day long.
Of course, you can also say that Peking University and Tsinghua University are all inclusive, depending on the angle from which you understand it.
Speaking of school uniforms, Zhou Hexuan is also drunk. Recently, he has been giving lectures in several schools in Shanghai. The most popular thing in Shanghai’s education circle right now is probably the “Uniform School Uniform Movement”.
Shanghai's educational community is completely chasing Chang Kaishen's horse. It actively responded to Chiang Kai-shek's "New Life Movement" and once again formulated strict student uniform regulations and called on all students to be uniform. Not only the universities in the city, but also the middle schools.
, even elementary schools in the suburbs are like this.
It is a good thing for students to wear school uniforms, but I am afraid that it will be too much.
If we strictly follow the regulations of the Shanghai Municipal Education Bureau, middle and high school students need to prepare three sets of uniforms.
For example, high school boys need a set of gray woolen student uniforms (including hats), which cost six yuan, and a gray woolen coat and camel hair lining, which cost eight yuan. In addition, two sets of yellow cloth student uniforms (including hats) cost six yuan.
.
The total price of three sets of student uniforms is 20 yuan, and the monthly salary of ordinary workers in Shanghai is only 5 yuan. How can students from grassroots backgrounds afford it?
As soon as the Shanghai Municipal Education Bureau's new dress code came out, it immediately aroused doubts from all walks of life. Wu Yongjiu pointed out in the "Fortnightly Journal of Further Education": "The unified school uniforms do not take into account the actual situation of ordinary people in the city and the vast majority of rural areas. Poor people, brother,
The clothes are worn by the younger brother, and the clothes worn by the father are worn by the son, the size is the same, and the clothes are mended and modified. Unless there is nothing you can do, you will never dare to abandon the old clothes... If you continue to ask them to spend money to buy uniforms, it is tantamount to denying their children to go to school."
Chang Kaishen's advocacy of the "New Life Movement" is a good thing, and can greatly improve the mental outlook of the people. However, once the central government's decree reaches the local level, it will 100% be deformed, and good governance will turn into governance that harms the people.
In order to flatter Chiang Kai-shek, the Shanghai Municipal Education Bureau ordered all students in the city to dress uniformly. As a result, many poor students were forced to stop studying because they could not afford school uniforms.
How ridiculous this is!
This is not only the case in Shanghai, but also across the country. Education bureaus in various places have formulated their own school uniform standards, which has made it difficult for students who cannot afford school uniforms.
The "New Life Movement" is like this in the education world, and it is also like this in other fields.
Those officials are so crazy that they don’t consider the actual local conditions at all. In order to flatter the central government, they sent people to Nanjing, Shanghai and other big cities to learn from the experience, and then copied them back and copied them, making the locals miserable.
The people were miserable.
…
At the graduation ceremony, Principal Li Zhaohuan first took the stage to speak, and then the graduate representatives spoke. The whole process was similar to that of later generations.
Immediately afterwards, the student host said: "Today, we are honored to invite Mr. Zhou Hexuan to attend the 23rd graduation ceremony of Jiaotong University. Now, I would like to ask Mr. Zhou to say a few words for everyone!"
Zhou Hexuan came to the stage happily, holding a tin speaker and said: "Your graduation trip went far enough. I heard that you all drove to Tianjin by train. Why didn't you take me with you when you went back? It saves me money."
Two tickets for the money.”
"Ha ha ha ha!"
There was a burst of laughter from the students in the audience.
Zhou Hexuan suddenly put away his smile and said seriously: "This time I traveled south from Tianjin, riding on the latest imported steam locomotive, with a top speed of nearly 140 kilometers per hour. Is it very fast? Very fast! But what I want to say is, the British
Steam trains have reached a maximum speed of 150 kilometers per hour. The Japanese have just opened a special express line from Beijing to Dalian in Northeast China. Although the Pacific 7 steam locomotive they use has a speed of only 85 kilometers per hour, it is actually a test
The car. It uses a streamlined locomotive, specially used to test high-speed impact, and is studying the practicality of the internal combustion locomotive. I heard from a Japanese friend that Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries is developing a locomotive with a speed of 160 kilometers per hour. Their locomotive is made of
Designed in an aircraft wind tunnel!”
The Jiaotong University graduates here are basically majoring in train-related majors. The same is true for Qian Xuesen, who majored in mechanical and power engineering.
At first, everyone laughed because of Zhou Hexuan's joke, but when Zhou Hexuan mentioned the trains in Britain and Japan, everyone immediately became silent.
"Shame!"
Zhou Hexuan said loudly: "Japanese locomotives are actually being tested on China's railways. They are constantly developing and absorbing learning from China, and their technology will become more and more developed! Students, you are all China's most valuable science and technology engineers
Talent. I only hope that today’s graduation is not the end, but a new beginning. I hope you will use your scientific talents to contribute to the prosperity of China. The current situation in China is very bad. Not only is scientific theoretical research not as good as Japan,
The industrial base is even worse. The Japanese are already using aircraft wind tunnels to study new trains. But China doesn’t even have its own wind tunnel. I hope that one day, the Chinese will have their own wind tunnel created by all of you here.
Hands from classmates. Thank you all!”
Zhou Hexuan bowed and retired, while the students applauded with serious expressions on their faces.
Principal Li Zhaohuan shook hands with Zhou Hexuan and said: "Mr. Zhou, you are right, we must catch up head on!"
Zhou Hexuan was about to speak when he suddenly saw a graduate standing up, raising his fist and shouting: "Gentlemen, let us fight for the rise of China!"
"Strive for the rise of China!"
In response, other graduates shouted, their voices mixed with frustration and anger.
Li Zhaohuan was very satisfied with this. He felt that he had made the right decision to invite Zhou Hexuan this time. He was a scholar-type bureaucrat, and he would not use sensationalism in his speeches, let alone the ability to arouse students' emotions.
As the time approached noon, the graduates collectively went to the Baxianqiao Youth Association, where there was a meal prepared for them by the school.
Zhou Hexuan was also invited to come with him, and was pulled by teachers and students to take various photos.
Not long after, the graduation autograph book full of students' names was handed to Zhou Hexuan. The student representative turned to a blank page, took pen and ink and said: "Mr. Zhou, please write something for us."
Zhou Hexuan raised his brush with confidence. He had already mastered his calligraphy skills and was not as afraid of embarrassment as before. He immediately wrote beautiful running script: "If you don't worry about not being in the position, you will be established; if you don't worry, don't know it. Ask for help."
It’s knowable!——Zhou Hexuan”
"Okay!" All the students clapped and cheered.
The two sentences written by Zhou Hexuan were said by Confucius. The general meaning is: Don't be afraid of not having an official position (appropriate status), but you should see whether you have the ability to establish yourself. Don't be afraid that no one will know you, but you should see your own ability.
Is your talent enough for everyone to know?
Zhou Hexuan was very satisfied with the calligraphy he left behind. Although it was not as good as those top calligraphers, it was definitely better than Mr. Yuan Ergong who sold calligraphy everywhere.
