Chapter 395: Banner Square
August 15 and 16, 1981 are the days when the students of Yulin Institute of Technology will report to work, and then they will conduct military training for half a month. Bao Zixuan also referred to the admission process of Huaxia University in later generations, and made some improvements to it.
It can be said that the students and parents who came to Yulin Institute of Technology today were shocked by Bao Zixuan's generosity, and they did not charge a penny for tuition when they came here. I also sent them so many things, what the hell is the picture, many people can't understand it, is there any conspiracy in this. However, Bao Zixuan, as one of the top richest people in the world, does not look like a person who cheats them for a little money. Maybe people aren't in it for money at all, they may have a bigger purpose, maybe it's for fame.
Although many students want to go to bed early, they still suffer from insomnia. The items handed out to them at the time of registration were too shocking, and the people who could buy them were wealthy in any country, but here they were just the most basic equipment for students.
Monday, 17 August 1981. Today is the first day of formal military training at Yulin Institute of Technology, and it is also an important day for all students. Today they were asked to wear military training uniforms and bring a walkman with a cassette to assemble at Flag Square. For this one that is not yet open, but the open space you see on the map is not known for what it is for.
Not only the students, but also the school's chief designers, Romansky and Martin Griff, didn't understand why Bao Zixuan kept this large vacant lot. After all, it covers an area of 120 acres, which is the size of 11 football fields. It's a waste of space, mainly because it's the most central part of the school.
The entire flag square is surrounded by more than 200 poles, except for a rostrum in the center. But it felt a little strange to put so many flagpoles together, after all, the distance between the flagpoles was not the same, as if they were standing there very randomly.
When the bustling students who came to Flag Square saw that the whole venue was so large, they felt that this must be the place where the school organized assemblies and large-scale activities. You can't feel how big it is on the map, and you can only feel the emptiness if you are there.
Everyone was very curious to see that the principal Bao Zixuan was standing there on the middle rostrum, and the security guards had arranged for them to gather where they should be.
After seeing everyone standing, Bao Zixuan said into the microphone: "Hello students! I am Bao Zixuan and your principal. Whether you admit it or not, I am your principal who is not a few years older than you, and if you want to graduate successfully from Yulin Institute of Technology, you must sign it. ”
"I called you here this morning for one purpose, to raise the flag of your country. I have more than 200 flagpoles here, and my dream is to be able to raise the flags of all countries in the world here. As long as it is a country recognized by the United Nations, we will prepare a national flag for students in the host country. It doesn't matter if you're alone or a group of people. ”
"And in order not to disturb each other, we prepared a cassette tape when we handed out the Walkman to the students. There is only one song on the front and back of this tape, and that is your country's national anthem. ”
"Every Monday morning, all the students and teachers will come here to put on headphones and listen to the national anthem to raise their national flag. Then, on Friday afternoon, the students who raised the national flag on Monday morning lowered their national flag and waited for Monday to continue to use it. ”
"If Yulin Institute of Technology cultivates students who don't even love their motherland, that is the sorrow of education, and the university should not only teach students knowledge, but also let everyone understand the truth of life. ”
"Yulin Institute of Technology will become a multicultural and all-encompassing university in the future, and everyone has patriotic rights and obligations. If that classmate dares to break the flag of another country, he will be expelled as soon as he is discovered. And it's useless for anyone to intercede. ”
"People should respect each other, and classmates should love each other. Next, each of you elects two representatives for the first flag-raising process. ”
The students all exploded, and no one thought that such a large empty venue in the school was prepared for raising the national flag. Is the headmaster crazy, or is his head squeezed by the door?
But none of this has anything to do with them, since they are very excited to be able to raise the flag of their own country. Everyone began to prepare according to Bao Zixuan's wishes.
But there are exceptions, Trido Carmen is a guy from Israel. After graduating from high school, he came to Xiangjiang for a tour, and his family was quite wealthy, and he wondered if he should spend some money to study at a university in the United States, otherwise he might have to return to China for military service.
Just in time for Yulin Institute of Technology admissions, the most important thing is that the professors who led the admissions team that day can speak Hebrew. Let him understand that this school was originally founded by Bao Zixuan, and it shouldn't be too bad.
He was not disappointed when he came to the school, but he saw so many Middle Easterners coming to school. He felt like he didn't know if this place was right for him.
Today, I saw that all the classmates were standing under the flagpole in a group, and he was the only one standing there. It can be said that he is the loneliest at this time, and for a young man, it is a kind of rejection of transfiguration.
After Bao Zixuan saw Trido Carmen's predicament, he walked up to him and said, "Trido, can I call you that!"
Hearing someone greet him in Hebrew, Trido Carmen thought it was his fellow countryman, after all, the other party was talking too right, much better than the professor who led the admissions that day. But when he looked back, it was the principal Bao Zixuan, but he still reacted quickly and said, "Of course, this is my honor, Mr. Principal." ”
Bao Zixuan: "Is it because you are the only Israeli student in the school that you feel lonely, and at the same time worry about raising the flag?" But I think it's a good time for you to behave, I was the only student who went from Heung Kong to study in the UK to study science and engineering, and many people thought that it would be difficult for me to find a job back in Heung Kong. ”
"Then I'll do everything by myself, and if there is no technology company in Xiangjiang, I will create my own technology company. Give yourself employment opportunities. It is a great honor in itself for a person to raise the flag on behalf of a country, and you must be strong at this time. There are still people who can shirk and rely on other students, but it must be your responsibility that the Israeli flag was not raised that day, and this is your responsibility as a man, so as not to disappoint your family and friends. ”
After Bao Zixuan left, Trido Carmen resolutely sorted out the Israeli flag. Walked straight to the flagpole that belonged to him. Over the next year, a Jewish boy was seen hoisting the Israeli flag every Monday, rain or shine, and taking it back on Friday night. A year has never been interrupted, just like Bao Zixuan, others still have someone to rely on, and he has no right to shirk.
His deeds have also spread back to Israel, making many young Israelis want to apply for the Yulin Institute of Technology, just to help complete that perseverance.
After 30 years, Trido Carmen, who has become Minister of Education, said in an interview with reporters. After Principal Bao Zixuan finished talking to him, he understood that this was a task that he had to complete, even if he did not hesitate to pay for his life. A nation and a country must have their own beliefs, and only through small things can the people know why they are doing what they do.
At nine o'clock in the morning, 15 national flags were raised at the same time in the square. Everyone is listening to the national anthem of their homeland with headphones and watching the flag go up.
Bao Zixuan is the same, the moment he sees the Chinese flag raised, his heart is always unable to calm down. He understood that only in this way would the British agree to let the Chinese flag be raised at the Yulin Institute of Technology before the return, and now if this activity is stopped, it will offend more than a dozen countries around the world.
Not only the students, but also the professors were involved. The flag-raising ceremony of the Yulin Institute of Technology in Xiangjiang was attended by many heads of government who visited Xiangjiang, after all, this is the only existence of any university in the world.
Bao Zixuan is also in order to let more people see the inclusiveness of Yulin Institute of Technology in this way, and will never persuade these students not to return to China to serve and be filial to their parents, so that parents from all over the world can send their children to school with confidence.
In fact, he has a big plan to get more people to come here to study. Students' ideas can be spread throughout the school while they are in school. After all the cultures are summarized, students can choose the learning method that best suits them, and they can also form a collision between multiple cultures, which in turn drives the learning atmosphere and scientific research atmosphere of the whole school.
