Zhu Suli , Dean of Peking University Law School,
you are about to leave the campus. There are some words that teachers should not say, that is dereliction of duty. Therefore, on this occasion today, I
would like to congratulate you on behalf of Peking University Law School and all the teachers; I also thank you for your years of hard work, which has created not only you,
but also our sense of accomplishment at this moment; but I would like to say a few words. The topic was left over from watching the movie "A World Without Thieves" a few years ago, and it
has always been haunted.
In the film, Shagen is honest and honest, and he is not wary and defenseless against everyone. The pregnant female thief (Rene Liu) suddenly found out in her
conscience that she wanted to protect the fool, for fear that he would learn the truth of life, be disappointed, injured or learn badly
. The male thief (Andy Lau) believes that not letting a person know the truth of life is deception; life
requires fools to be smart; and a person can only be reborn if he suffers from a loss. He forcefully asked: "
[Silly Root] Why doesn't he defend? Why can't he get hurt? Why? Just because he's simple, he's stupid?"
This is a sharp debate between two educational philosophies. Both make sense; moral superiority and inferiority are not immediately obvious. Today, almost all
parents and teachers in China prefer Rene Liu. It's not that I don't know that life has a dark side, but I'm afraid that young people will learn badly, so I don't let them
contact . We pay too much attention to distinguishing good from evil, keep pace with the times, and engage in all kinds of political
correctness. It seems that as long as we are strictly guarded, like dealing with SARS or "A stream", or installing a "green dam" or something,
no one will be infected, the source of the disease will be eliminated, and eventually a group of newcomers of the era will be cultivated to improve human beings in an all-round way. moral standards and quality of
life . It’s only twenty years. It is said that the innocent heart cannot be hurt. In the name of protecting privacy and preventing discrimination, I
We have progressed (or fallen?) to the point where exam results are not released from elementary school to university!
The ostrich tactics can't be successful, and the campus is not pure land; I'm just worried that someone is being fooled. It doesn't matter if you are stupid, stupid people have
stupid blessings - think stupid roots; and "innocence is winter's robes" can help us resist the harsh winter. What I worry most about is that an education that is
too pure, single, liberal or "petty bourgeoisie" will make people too sensitive and delicate on the one hand, and too
vulnerable on the other hand. If the exam is not good, it is "very hurt", so what if you can't get into the university? Getting rejected for a job or courtship? Not to mention anything else. Porcelain
is too delicate to be used, and no one dares to use it. Who hasn't had a bump in life? !
It is indeed difficult to accept Andy Lau's "cruel education", let alone practice. In the film, Andy Lau didn't do it either; he still
fell down, in order to protect the foolish root who dreamed of a world without thieves. What's even more frightening is that, as soon as he heard "No poison, no husband", as soon as he turned around, combined
theory with practice, and practiced his studies,
Li Bingbing begged for forgiveness with tears in his eyes, and handed over his mentor to the police; Uncle can only sigh again and again "careless". One word - retribution!
Could it be that we, like Rene Liu, "are afraid of retribution and want to do good deeds and accumulate virtue". But can temporary kindness turn into
long -term cruelty? And, are we really good, or just to prove that we are good - in fact, to prove that we are
illusory , weak and therefore hypocritical?
This is the profound and eternal dilemma of education. Only in this way can we understand the ancient Chinese "Education of Yizi Xiangtu", Spartan education and
Mao Zedong's "great wind and waves to cultivate successors to the revolutionary cause". But this is only a substitute for the hardships of life; harshness does not make people
remember, and eating a cut can make one wise. I sometimes even suspect that the hall of knowledge that the university has built today is only temporarily shelving
, partially isolating, and more of postponing the harshness you will eventually face, and also alleviating the doubts and unease deep in our hearts.
Knowledge may not be able to get out of this predicament, although we often sell melons and say "knowledge changes destiny". This is
true , but if it's wrong, it's even very misleading. It exaggerates the role of knowledge, erudition, ideas and ideas, and
it also exaggerates the meaning of knowledge imparters; it underestimates the meaning of action, and even more seriously underestimates the difficulty of the actor. In fact
, at least I, and maybe other teachers, chose the campus not only because I love academics and the pursuit of truth, but also partly because
reading is easier and more pleasant than doing things, especially than doing things. School education is doomed to be incomplete. It does expand
some aspects of your imagination and critical thinking, but it may also weaken your ability to cope and create life.
Out of responsibility, not guilt, I share these confusions and concerns, including my own limitations, with you. Just can't give
you an IQ card, and there is no password; and "it's really not", even if "it can be", even if you
hold . I hope you will re-examine and get out of campus as soon as possible. Don't just see the world through normative eyes. The life world must be
non-normative, and sometimes resists the norm. Don't take logical or seemingly universal words too seriously or too seriously. Life is not
logic ; what is truly universal does not need to be advocated, and what is promoted by someone must not be universal, and may also be counterfeit. If you are not prepared,
you will be at a loss if you encounter a fool or a tactician, or even a despicable villain. Whether it is passive inaction or
complicity, even if it is cynical, it is a loss of action. Maybe, an emotional trauma will ruin your kindness
and future - think Fu Chengli, a big thinker.
You have to be like Song Dandan said, "To be a [...] person is to be a little harder on yourself"; remember, you are on yourself. It is necessary to resist creation
, stand up to beatings, and withstand unexpected or unpredictable disasters. "Good people live in peace" is just a song, just listen to it
. Not all of the people who were hit by a car when they went out were, in fact, basically not, unfilial descendants or corrupt officials. Even if democracy and the rule of law can make the country
Long-term peace of mind for parents will not eliminate office politics. In Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, you also have to go to the end in order to "live
a happy life from now on".
It doesn't mean to give up honesty and kindness; it's just what the common people say, "the heart of harming others must not exist, and the heart of defending others must not be neglected." True
kindness can only come from informed choice and persistence.
These words are cold, but not cold, nor cold. How could you not wish every one of you the best of luck? ! It's just that since
you walked into this campus and lived in this world, you are not destined to repeat the story of yesterday and follow the
arrangement . We can only create your present moment, but what you want to create is your own future; what you want to achieve is not what others -
including your parents - expect from you, but, best of all, what you expect from yourself. You must be able to take on responsibilities that you imagine you
can't handle alone, even as a child/daughter, as a husband/wife, as a parent/mother, or as a teacher/friend.
And you are young citizens of the Republic! There should be, and there will be
, elites and even leaders from all walks of life in this country and society. Our republic will soon celebrate its 60th anniversary, but why do you say that China will never encounter Wenchuan in this life or
after that, no one will be tossed about it, no one will fight Tibet or Taiwan or the South China Sea ; or
greed no longer triggers any other global crisis, and human beings have decided against 9.11 and sang all the way to the end of history.
Over the past year, I have felt strongly that China is not moving forward, but is being pushed onto a larger world stage. Mainly not the "
Olympics", but the financial tsunami. Of course there is the Somali escort, the United States asking China to provide Pakistan with arms, and
the planned acquisition of Hummer or Volvo. Even if it seems to be calm, it means a challenge that is magnificent and must be turbulent
. Not all opportunities, there must be unpredictable risks, traps, traps, and disasters.
The so-called elite is that people feel good, but he sees the slightest, cautiously, and silently prepares for the whole society.
This is the worry of the world. Mere ideals, knowledge or love is not enough, you must and believe that you will be firm,
calm, wise and persistent; there must also be someone prepared, at a critical juncture, to stand up, do my part, and take responsibility for this
nation and even mankind, until you devote yourself to it. This is the joy of the world.
I am not recommending this route. no. I just pointed out that there is such an option. Similar to parents in the world, in fact, we
prefer you to be at peace; we have thought about it, but we may not expect you to be heroes. The heroic road is destined to be bumpy and narrow
; no one promises, let alone guarantees, you choose, the end is success, not tragic. At least, my
mother- in-law, to a large extent, just thought of it, and it is inevitable that some of you will be lost, frustrated or even failed.
But in any case, we wish you all the best! Peking University Law School congratulates you all!
In any case, we respect your respective choices; and believe that you will have no regrets!
