We say that we should be young people with "ideas, morals, discipline and culture". I see "ideas, discipline, and culture", but it's hard to find "morality" alone. I know that everyone's moral standards are different, but I believe there must be a universal moral standard that can distinguish between loyal and evil.
Reminds me of a speech given by Professor Qian Liqun
I happen to be very worried about these top students right now - certainly not all of them - but quite a few top students, including the top students at Peking University, worry me. In my opinion, the real elite should have the spirit of independence, freedom and creativity, which is what I put forward when I gave a speech in the Chinese Department of Peking University last time. society and human beings. This is the elite I understand and expect. But I think our current education, especially what I just said, the education of pragmatism, materialism, and nihilism, is cultivating a group of "absolute and refined egoists" that I have summarized. ” means that their own interests become the only absolute direct driving force for their words and deeds, and doing things for others is all an investment. What does "refined" mean? They have a high IQ, a high education, and everything they do is reasonable, legal and impeccable. They are amazingly sophisticated, sophisticated, sophisticated, deliberately loyal, very good at cooperation, performance, and how to use the system. power to achieve your goals. Frankly speaking, I have come into contact with many such students, and I even feel that they have become a new social model, which can be summarized as a literary model. The following is a summary of my literature, not a specific person. For example, I went to class one day and saw a student sitting in the first row, he nodded and smiled politely at me, and then I started to lecture. When a teacher is lecturing, he has some expectations for the teaching effect, what kind of reaction students will have when he talks about it, and so on. Therefore, I quickly noticed that the student was always able to respond in a timely manner, nodding, smiling, etc., which means that he understood my class, I was very happy, and I noticed this student. After class, he couldn't wait to run up to me and said, "Mr. Qian, today's class is really good!" I'm wary of this, and I've also encountered many people who add to my class. Praise, but I always have some doubts whether he really understands, it's just touting. However, this student was different. He told me what was good about me, he was right and right, and he was right on the point. It showed that he understood everything, and naturally he was relieved and no longer vigilant. And to be honest, what the teacher said was understood by the students, what a joy! So I have a good impression of this student. So once, twice, three times, my affection for him grows day by day. The fourth time he came: "Mr. Qian, I want to study in the United States (course), please write me a recommendation letter." What do you think I should do? Happy to agree! However, after writing, the student disappeared and never appeared again. So I understand Now, his previous nods, smiles, etc., were all investments! This is what Lu Xun called a "spiritual capitalist". The investment received my recommendation letter, and then "bye bye", because you are useless to him. This is an absolute egoist. All his actions are based on interests and are carefully designed, but he is highly intelligent and high-level, and everything he does is reasonable and legal. Can I criticize him? Can I lose my temper? I lose my temper and seem stingy. What's wrong with a student asking for your help? This student has this level. However, I do feel deceived, and I have a hard time saying. These are some of the top students that Peking University has cultivated today. The problem is that such a student, such a "talent", is welcomed by our system, because he can meet the needs of the system very well, and he is highly efficient and high IQ, which is terrible here. Those clumsy, bragging people don't really need the system, do they? It's the kind of refined, high-level egoism that the system needs. Such people are being trained as successors by us. I think this is the biggest and my biggest worry. I don't mean to blame them. This is not the problem of the students themselves. It is cultivated by our pragmatism, pragmatism and nihilism. The evil fruit of education and university education is the "poppy flower", which is beautiful and poisonous, and cannot but arouse vigilance.
