Feng He's speech was a little shorter than Zhuang Yu's, lasting about twenty minutes.
After Feng He finished his speech, he was followed by Zhao Re, Chi Qing, Wang Yi, Liu Yuan...
The penultimate one is Li Hebin.
Li Hebin is the chairman of the party group and has published works, but he is not a serious writer. He focuses more on party affairs.
He was unwilling to give a speech before, but Zhang Zhong persuaded him.
As the leader of the literary exchange group, Li Hebin's speech was not about literature, or not simply about literature.
He turned the lecture into a philosophy lesson.
It mainly talks about post-development Marxism.
Marx’s contribution to philosophy introduced the concept of practice into philosophy, connecting philosophy with the liberation of the modern proletariat. Applying this philosophy to the field of social history led to the emergence of historical materialism...
This is what Li Hebin said to the students at Fourth University.
The students actually didn't feel much when they listened. Marx himself is also a relatively famous philosopher, and many students have studied his philosophical thoughts.
However, Zhang Zhong and the others could clearly hear that Li Hebin was showing a new path in front of the students. They may not understand it yet, but these things may take deep root in their minds and eventually sprout.
indefinite.
After Li Hebin finished speaking, Empoli walked onto the stage with a smile.
He is an old fox, so he can naturally understand Li Hebin's intentions, but as a non-conservative, he doesn't think there is any problem with Li Hebin talking about Marxism here.
Without making any comments, Empoli knew what to do for the role he played today.
The previous lecture has consumed a lot of time.
Although everyone can compress the time of their speech, it still took more than three hours for so many people to speak.
By this time, many viewers were beginning to feel tired.
But now it's good, Zhang Zhong is about to play. I believe that when Zhang Zhong plays, the audience's spirit will be lifted.
"Finally, let us invite pz to come up with warm applause."
Although the applause given to other writers by the audience in front was already warm enough, when Empoli called out Zhang Zhong's name, the whole hall was boiling, and it was more deafening than any previous wave of applause.
The echo in this auditorium was quite loud. When Zhang Zhong walked to the stage, he felt his ears buzzing. The audience was so enthusiastic.
Zhang Zhong stood in front of the microphone and waited for a while. When the applause gradually died down, he put his head in front of the microphone and said: "Good afternoon everyone, I am Zhang Zhong."
After introducing himself, Zhang Zhong took out a piece of paper.
In fact, it was just a piece of white paper with nothing on it, but the members in front were all holding manuscripts, so he followed the crowd and got a piece of paper.
There is a manuscript, and a copy was given to Adrian. The translator Giroud is holding it now.
Zhang Zhong also printed a copy when he arrived, but he left it in the car, so he temporarily grabbed a piece of white paper to fill it up.
The people below can't see it anyway.
He also lowered his head and carefully looked at the "content" on the paper, and then continued, "Thank you very much to Mr. Empoli and Mr. Adrian for the invitation and giving us the opportunity to study in such a great school.
Whether it’s sharing some of our experiences or insights with you outstanding students, I hope that today’s speech will not be our unilateral output, but a dialogue between us.”
"Just two days ago, I read a fable written by an ancient Greek poet called The Fox and the Hedgehog. I thought the name was very good, so I hope to name my speech today "The Fox and the Hedgehog."
"Some students may have heard of this story, but I will take a moment to tell it to other students who have not heard of it. There is a hedgehog and a fox in the story. The fox is cunning, changeable, and very smart.
It can always think of many ways to deal with things. But the hedgehog is different. It is slow and slow. It has only one response to any danger, and that is to roll up its body. One day, the hedgehog and the fox met, and the fox intended to kill them.
Hedgehog, but because the hedgehog rolled up his body, there was nothing he could do."
"The story is that simple. It is impossible to know what the author wants to tell people with this story, but today I want to tell you what I saw from this story and what I hope to share with you."
"In the encounter between the hedgehog and the fox, the winner is of course the hedgehog. He used his only response method to eliminate the danger from the fox. However, the winner may not be entirely desirable, and the loser may not be entirely meritless. In my opinion
Come on, the hedgehog is like a thinker. It always observes and thinks about the whole world through a universal thought, like a focusing lens. The fox is more like an encyclopedia, knowing many things and will refer to it based on the situation at hand.
Lots of ideas and experiences.”
"I hope everyone can remember this story, remember the hedgehog and the fox, and think about it in your future study and life, and think about how you want to spend your life."
"Manpower is sometimes exhausted, and no one can seek everything. I once heard someone say that the journey of seeking knowledge is giving up, because while seeking part of the knowledge, you are also giving up another part of the knowledge. Seeking knowledge may be simple, but giving up is difficult.
It’s not easy…”
Of course, the story "The Hedgehog and the Fox" was not what Zhang Zhong heard two days ago. In fact, he had heard this story as early as on Earth, but he remembered this story again two days ago when he was thinking about what to tell the students.
As for whether this story exists in the world, and whether any of the students in the audience have heard this story, he doesn't know.
But it doesn't matter. There are too many stories in the world, especially the number of ancient Greek fables. No one will bother whether the story he tells casually is said by the ancient Greek poets.
Zhang Zhong's speech was longer than others, but it took a little over half an hour in total.
After he finished speaking, the audience naturally burst into applause.
Empoli also came up in time, but this time Empoli did not let Zhang Zhong go down, but pulled him in front of the microphone.
"Mr. pz, your speech is worth thinking about. I think the students here will definitely think of this story of the fox and the hedgehog from time to time in their future studies. You are the last speaker today, and you are also a member of this Chinese literary exchange group.
Long, so I want to delay your time a little longer and conduct a short interview with you, is that okay?"
Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows. He had never done this process before, but he didn't care. It was just an interview, so he nodded and said, "Of course."
Empoli smiled and said, "What do you think of our students from the Fourth University?"
"I don't know about anything else, but the students are in good health."
Empoli was stunned, "Why do you say that?"
"Because everyone is still so energetic after sitting here for more than three hours, and when they applaud, the roof almost shakes off. Their arms must be very strong."
"Haha, pz, you are so funny." Empoli laughed, and then looked at the audience below, "The reason why I asked pz this question is because today, in addition to inviting you to give a speech, I also want to announce to everyone
A piece of good news."
Zhang Zhong was a little surprised. Of course he knew what Empoli was going to announce, but he didn't expect that Empoli would choose to announce it at this time.
Empoli did not immediately say what the news was, but looked at Zhang Zhong again, "How about you announce this news again?"
Zhang Zhong shook his head, "It's better you do it."
"Okay." Empoli nodded, and then announced, "The good news I want to tell you is that our Fourth University has reached a strategic partnership with Shizhong College, and our two schools will have many close contacts in the future.
Maybe some of you will come to the school to study, and the specific cooperation matters will be announced on the school’s official website later, and I believe it won’t take long for you to see it.”
After Empoli announced the news, there was a moment of silence. The students seemed a little surprised by the news.
In fact, there is nothing surprising. Empoli didn't reveal much information. It sounds like it's just an ordinary exchange student cooperation project, which many schools have.
It is not surprising that Fourth University has such cooperation with Shizhong College.
Therefore, the students' reaction is just a conditioned reflex reaction.
Then things returned to normal, and the students clapped.
