Young people, why are you so boring?

Classmates, thank you for coming to the lecture. Today's weather is good, it is weekend, I think many students should be out.

I was going to talk about some of the stories of the Southwest Associated University, talk about how university life should be spent, how to make yourself a useful person, and so on. I published a book in the Sanlian Bookstore in September last year, "Southwest United University's Thoughts", which is all about the oral history of the Southwest Associated University, basically a small story. Very interesting, you can find it yourself.

However, I saw you sitting here, with confusion in your eyes, as silent and serious as listening to a class. I suddenly changed my mind. I don't want to tell those stories, because the story of the Southwest Associated University is too far away from you.

I am talking far, not the time and time, but the distance between people. You are sitting here, claiming to be a North University student. However, you are separated from the North University of the year, the Southwestern United University has a spiritual source. Therefore, these stories can't solve your practical problems.

Students from the Southwest Associated University, they traversed the war, sorrowful songs, and read and save the country. They are a generation of national spirits and self-awakening elites. And you, although the top of the school, you are just a product of "passive growth" and "successful suppression." If I tell a story today, it is very easy for me. I can make a lot of words, because I have already written a few books and made a documentary. Listening to the story is not difficult for you. You are all exam champions, otherwise you can't enter Beijing University. You will treat these stories as "knowledge" and history, and you will be well-rounded in the blink of an eye.

But what about that?

You have another kind of knowledge of death, that's all. Then you know that I am an expert in the Southwest Associated University. that is it. You are my younger brother and sister. We have a campus that is full of blood and water. We should not be a big wooden barrel and a small wooden barrel. That is to say, I will give some of my knowledge to you, but I will care about your growth. You also want to understand some confused problems from me.

Between us is the relationship between the breathing and continuation of life and the transmission of the campus spirit. Since then, Peking University, my original intention is to impress you and impress your thoughts, instead of adding a little more of your accumulation, your "knowledge burden." So I decided not to tell the story, I want to talk about my thoughts. These ideas are not systematic, but they are vivid and realistic, and they can touch you and touch the society.

I have always thought that the theory and the like of those complete systems are the most useless, and the only useful details are the specific links. This is philosophical. Use a few points of view to spread the ideas I have told you. I don't care if it can form a "system theory," and I believe it can enter your soul. Because it is no one told you about it.

First, the repressed victory

You are sitting here, you have been admitted to Peking University, but I don't think that you are the pride of the sky, the elite. To be honest, I think that you can get into the factors of Peking University. That score is actually not so glorious, so powerful, so positive. Instead, it is a negative sign. It’s not that you are really superior to your classmates, smart, hardworking, talented, and promising. You are sitting here.

But you are more able to accept repression than your classmates, with repression, and to suppress your school and family, teachers and parents to cooperate, obey, suppress your youthful personality, this is the obedience of obedience, you passed the exam The machine, so that you got a high score, went to Peking University.

I call it "the repressed victory." Have you won? No, the winners are your teachers and parents, and you are the victims of this game.

The darlings of your high scores, compared to those of you who have not been admitted to Peking University, you have less resistance, less innocence, less liveliness, less games, less love, less beauty, less playfulness, less youth. , many of the most precious things beyond the score. And these things are precisely the elements that can make your life happy and successful. But for the high scores, you have paid for it, and you have sacrificed it. You succumb to the harsh demands of teachers and parents, and desperately suppress yourself. Only then did you get this result, admitted to college, and is Peking University.

Those who have not been admitted to Peking University may have retained more of their own, retaining their choices, retaining their vitality and beauty, and their lives may be more successful and happy than you. Because they retain more enthusiasm for themselves and for life, more personality. I have observed that children with higher emotional intelligence resist this kind of depression, and emotional intelligence actually determines the successful life of people. This is why so-called elite student suicides have occurred in famous universities such as Peking University in recent years.

This is why the road to Peking University has become the road to self-destruction.

Because you will regard this repression as a necessity for success, as a positive experience in life, and mistakenly believe that passive learning, living, and repression of yourself can complete a successful life. This is a big fallacy.

This fallacy in understanding and beginning of life and career must stop! You must reassess yourself to be admitted to Peking University, and you must re-summarize why you can go to Peking University as a negative experience.

The education system in our country is changing. The high-scoring car that you have picked up on the test car is also changing, and there is a kind of reasonable and selective change with tolerance. You are the product of the negative test in the past. If you can't adjust yourself quickly and mobilize the true vitality of life, then you will go down the road and you will die!

There is a person named Campbell who said: "The worst life is a life without choice." You came from that life. The physicist Li Zhengdao once said to me: The students of the Southwest Associated University are not a model. Everyone is like a seed, and education is carried out in conjunction with the personality of this student.

But you are being crushed into "a mold out", and your appearance is not what you choose. For you, the choice is too limited, it may be a choice of a hairpin, a valueless and meaningless choice of brand-name clothes.

More often, you dare not say "no", but even dare not say "I want". Therefore, you have become a group of children who can only be spoiled on small things, but fully obeyed in the general direction. This is the big failure of China's parent education and university education today.

The ancients said: "The entry is correct and the intention is high."

My brother Qian Liqun said: The failure of today's Chinese education began in China and China. This is to see that your roots are not right. You are the generation that has been planted.

You must rush and correct yourself immediately

You don't really read yourself. You don't know the world and history. All you know is superficial information in the media and on the Internet. You have no personality, because you have not chosen and experienced a real adventure in your life.

After Li Zhengdao graduated from high school, he encountered a Japanese invasion. He can wading through the mountains alone, coming to Yunnan from the enemy-occupied area, looking for his mentor in his mind, the guide for his life. He had suffered a rollover, injury, hospitalization, and then he successfully arrived in Kunming. He knocked on the door of a farmhouse in a suburb of Kunming called Gangtou Village. His future teacher, Wu Dazhao, is caring for his sick wife.

Li Zhengdao Tairan passed the physics topic of Wu Dazhao, and surprised Wu Dazhao again and again. Finally, he was shocked and ecstatic. The next day, Teacher Wu went to the Physics Department of the Southwest Associated University and said, "You, I found a physical wizard. Since then, Li Zhengdao has been carefully trained by Wu and the famous teachers of the Southwest Associated University.

Can you go this way?

Li Zhengdao is at your age. Numerous Southwestern university students have chosen themselves in the war. They chose to leave the enemy-occupied area and study for the country. They have worked hard and traveled long distances to Kunming to study. Self-selection, going through hardships to complete this choice. Can you do that?

Second, the abandoned campus

Just now a boy asked a question: "How do you think about today's education reform?"

My opinion is: The current education is very bad, step by step is a trap and deprivation for you, no love, no responsibility. Let you miss your childhood, miss the youth growth period, and become some overwhelmed people. You finally enter college and have a sense of relaxation. Away from your parents, the management of the middle school is no longer covering you. You can have a lot of choices. It was like a group of birds that had been in a cage for a long time. Now they are in a yard and have a cover, but they are bigger. The most terrible thing is that there is military training for you new students who are new to school, but there is no humanistic warmth, and there is no mention of care. No one will bind you, no one will love you and be responsible for you.

I have a nephew and a nephew come over like this. They struggled hard and entered the prestigious school, but they lost their mind when they entered. I have been to the so-called university town, it is abandonment to you, it is simply a crime at the university. In the remote suburbs, there is nothing but the commissary, the teachers are not there, a group of children who have just entered school are there, it is a concentration camp. They can sing at zero in the night, eat French fries and eat dumb. Because they are lonely, they can only play computer. At this time, many students became computer fans, and even they were expelled because they lost their education because they went online.

This is another failure link in Chinese education.

Fortunately, the two descendants of my family are now developing very well. They have experienced the awakening of youth, carried out self-selection and struggle, and embarked on a path that they can grasp their lives. But they recall the lost time in college.

Now that you are an adult, you must wake up: "Save yourself by yourself." This terrible "university city" is still going on, no popularity, no campus atmosphere, no mentor, no high class, no streets and residents.

This phenomenon does not come to the country, I think it is ruining and persecuting the students.

I have a brother Hao Bin, who is the former leader of Peking University. He said: "This is a crime against children and parents. It is a kind of deception and irresponsibility for these new students who are eager to enter the university." Counseling and care of the campus To guide students to establish a positive and warm environment, which is crucial for students who first leave the family. You were originally taken care of, and suddenly you were thrown into the wasteland. The university town is a wasteland.

Even on the old campus, it is no different from the wasteland. There was a vicious student murder in Yunnan. Because of the disparity and discrimination between the rich and the poor, it stabbed the self-respect of an undergraduate student. No one found that no one came to recover. No one adjusted it until the student named Ma Jiajue killed several people. Classmates. The reason is all due to small things.

Both the murderer and the murderer are victims of the current inhuman campus.

The students are in a state of helplessness. They can even pose a threat to each other. I once gave a lecture at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. At first glance, I know that the high-scoring children actually haven’t talked to them for a long time. They talk about it, talk about it, and listen to their problems. They grew up in a state of loneliness and occlusion.

That day was also the story of the Southwest Associated University at the beginning. When the time is up, they will not let me go.

A student from a foreign country asked me: "What is good in Beijing?" Obviously, he missed his hometown, his original learning and living environment. And no one is going to enlighten him.

I told him: Beijing traffic jam, poor air, and people are very indifferent, because everyone is coming to gold rush, there is no such thing as a hometown. But when you go to Beijing, you are not looking for a comfortable home. You are looking for the highest level of your profession, so you must make sacrifices and grasp your professional direction. Everything is worth it.

A girl asked me: "Teacher, do you think my hair is a little longer, or is it shorter?" How much friendship she needs, needs appreciation, and needs the care of her elders. These high-scoring doctoral students are full of hunger and thirst. Their lives are not full and full, so how can they accomplish the task of science and attack the cutting edge?

The cause has not yet begun, and life is so boring. Where is the power?

Another time, I sold the books and CDs of the Southwestern United University in Tsinghua. A doctoral student asked me: "Can I just buy chemistry? Because I am studying chemistry."

I was so angry that I yelled at him: "Do you need chemistry to learn math? Isn't chemistry and physics not a brother discipline? You probably only buy exam questions? Do you want to read these masters' life and insights? Your parents don't study chemistry, are they not your parents?"

After listening to me, he said, "Teacher, don't be angry, I buy, I buy." I said, the key you must look at. Classmates, when I was still in high school, China was launched by the leaders of a Cultural Revolution. It was a catastrophe. At that time, middle school students had a slogan: "Smashing the old education system." In fact, the teachers who loved them were beaten one by one, causing hatred of the ages.

Today, I don't want to call you to "smash" who you are, and you don't know where you are. Today, the state of the university is a pile of various historical evils. It is institutional, humanistic, and political. It is "three feet in freezing, not cold in a day." The historical damage caused by various injuries has caused a bad university environment. It can be said that it is the "flower of evil" in Chinese society.

You don't have to be responsible for this situation. You are responsible for yourself. How can I be responsible for myself? After I understand the status quo, I have some suggestions for you.
