Yu Minhong's inspirational speech: cultivating the spiritual temperament of young people

Editor's note: New Oriental is not only the foreign language training institution that people are familiar with, it gives more meaning to itself - it is committed to cultivating the spiritual temperament of Chinese young people, promoting the integration of Chinese and Western cultures in a subtle way, and promoting Chinese society. progress. In Yu Minhong, we can feel the power of this spirit. Along the way, he has withstood the test of hardships, conflicts, human struggles, illnesses and even death. These experiences have constantly tempered Yu Minhong's leadership. While achieving the glory of the New Oriental cause, he also gained spiritual growth. And he and New Oriental are still constantly surpassing. He hopes to run a non-profit private university in China, so that China's higher education system will no longer "walk on one leg." He said, "There must be a lot of difficulties ahead, but I am not in a hurry and have patience. I am 46 years old this year. I feel that I still have time and I can finish this."

New Oriental is an educational institution facing many large and middle school students. When dealing with the students, I found a very important question: Chinese students have a desire to pursue the future, but due to the influence of the entire social environment, they are very lacking in two points.

The first point is their life direction and their own spiritual state, such as face setbacks, psychological state of failure, tenacity, and pursuit of future obstacle, these students are much worse than our generation. The second point is that there is a lack of value and moral system. In order to make money, many people can use all means in order to live a good life.

In general, I think that students have problems with the value system, behavioral system and moral system. Therefore, I feel that it is not acceptable to teach them to learn English. This is a bit like Mr. Lu Xun’s “Abandoning Medicine from the Text” – why did Lu Xun not want to be a doctor? Because he found that people who are healthy but mentally numb, such as walking dead, have no meaning to society. Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun decided to throw away the scalpel and pick up the pen to awaken the spirit of the Chinese people.
Of course, I don't have such a big ambition, but I think that if light teaches students English and doesn't teach them anything else, the last thing that may be cultivated is a traitor. That is to say, if a young person of a nation does not have a spiritual temperament, then our education is problematic.
