extract:
In the process of growing up, I slowly discovered that everything around me, everything that others told me, the so-called things that are supposed to be so, are destined to be so, they don't have to be like this, and things can be changed. More importantly, since something is wrong, it should be changed. I am very disappointed with the school. I think the teachers don't understand what they are talking about. They are condescending and care about it; homework is like a trick, like knowledge is a means to force all students to be mediocre. So I started to read books about the history of education and the evolution of this education system. Then you can find that if you really want to learn something, you can't mechanically repeat what the teacher taught. This kind of makes me gradually learn to question. I question the school I go to, I question the society of this school, I question the set of principles that the school teaches people to pursue, and I question the government that established this entire system. I always think deeply, and I hope others can think further. I work for my ideals and learn from others. I don't like to reject others. I'm a perfectionist, but I don't ask the publishing industry to also strive for excellence. In addition to education and entertainment, I will not waste time on things that will not have an impact. I try to be friendly with everyone, but I hate people not taking me seriously. I don't remember to hate others, because it is not good for creation. But I learn from my own experience, I want to make the world a better place. I deeply feel that it is not enough to live in peace and the current world. That way, you can accept what others give, and you can do what the adults say. You do what your parents say, and the society says. Do it. I think you should always have doubts. From a scientific point of view, everything you learn is temporary. Anything you learn has room for change, refutation, and doubt. I think this situation also applies to society. When I realize that there are really serious, fundamental problems in society that I can do my best to solve, I can't forget it or avoid it.
