Yu Minhong's inspirational story: the story of stepping stones

Yu Minhong said in the lecture:
When I was young, there was a road in front of my house. When it rained, this road was washed out of a ditch by the water. This road is not wide or narrow. You must pad a brick in the middle, so you can walk over. If you don't put a brick, you can't go through it. Sometimes you are afraid, it is easy to fall into the ditch. Therefore, every time it rains, I have to smash a brick, padding in the middle of the ditch, and it is much more convenient for pedestrians. New Oriental is such a brick, so that every student, when he struggles the most difficult time, when we are most exhausted, we give him a brick, he will not fall into the ditch. We are this brick, this stepping stone, so that they can successfully cross this gully. New Oriental has indeed helped countless students to cross this gully, give them strength, give them knowledge, give them directions, and this step is enough. I don't want to give him a helicopter in the rain, let him fly to a sunny place. I just need to put a brick in this mud. If New Oriental played such a role, I would be satisfied. If the student looks back, New Oriental did give him a walk on the muddy road, padded a brick when he passed the ditch, did not let him fall, and continued to move forward, I think New Oriental can be satisfied.

"New Oriental Spirit" is a brick on a muddy road, a stepping stone.
