Chapter 60: What Do You Read For?

For his father, who often claims to be a hero, such behavior is in his mouth, that is, the "Drum on the Sau" in Liangshan, and the "Swallow Li San" in the TV series.

But whether it is Shi Qian or Li San, people do chivalrous things in a bright and upright way, but heroes do "stealing chickens and touching dogs", "getting something for nothing", and doing "narrow sense" things that are lazy!

I will not be ashamed of my "bad habits" at all, but be proud of them.

If you don't ask, you steal, and if you are selfish, you are not ashamed.

A seven-foot man stands in the world, when will his bad virtues stop?

After all, it is an "old husband and wife" who has been married for more than 20 years, and they naturally know each other's tempers well, and they can know what each other wants between words and deeds, not to mention what they are accustomed to?

You don't have to think about it to know what he wants to do!

Therefore, the hero's behavior was already expected by his mother, and he naturally understood what was going on, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, so he let him go, and he pretended to sleep without noticing.

Anyway, sooner or later, it will have to be handed back into his hands, so it is better to let him take it himself.

Mother thought.

This matter is constantly backlogged in my heart, knowing that it is all between adults, and I cannot and powerlessly interfere.

But time and time again, similar events kept stimulating my brain nerves, and the urgent desire and expectation to change my fate intensified as I grew older.

By chance, I turned to the primary school text, the text that the prime minister read for the rise of China, I can't remember exactly how it was expressed, but the content of the story is roughly like this:

At the age of 12, the prime minister left his hometown and came to the three eastern provinces.

At that time, the three eastern provinces happened to be one of the focal points of contention among the invading powers in China.

He got off the bus in Shenyang according to the prior agreement, and his uncle picked him up smoothly.

On the way home, he passed by a particularly prosperous, lively, and brightly lit area, and his uncle solemnly said to him: "Don't go to that place to play if you have nothing to do! This is the rule of Shenyang!

"Why?" the young prime minister was puzzled, pointing to the people in the area and asking in surprise, "Why are those people inside, why can't we go in?"

"Shhhhh The uncle hurriedly pressed down the hand pointing to the concession, looked around, and made sure that no one was paying attention before nervously pulling the prime minister aside, and whispered: "The little doll can't point around, don't understand and can't talk nonsense, that area is the concession of foreign devils, if you go in to play, it will be bad to get into trouble, even if you are beaten to death, there is nowhere to reason!"

"Then why? Isn't Shenyang a place for us Chinese? Why set up concessions? Why don't we rent them to them?" The prime minister, of course, did not understand, and broke the casserole and asked in the end.

"Why? Do you think this is like you in the countryside, you can rent if you want, and you can not rent if you don't want to? According to what you mean, we are still landlords, and foreign devils can't work for a long time?" The uncle sighed and said, "Son, foreign devils don't pay rent when they rent our place! Moreover, the essence of this concession is a 'colony' in the city!"

"China is sluggish!" Speaking of this, the uncle shook his head helplessly, without the slightest interest in explaining.

Later, under the arrangement of his uncle, the prime minister entered the Dongguan Model School to study.

In any case, he could never forget what his uncle said when he picked him up, and when he was idle, he often remembered this time, and often had the following question: "What is the land like in the concession? Why is it that Chinese cannot enter it, but foreigners can live there 'in a grand manner'? and 'rent' Chinese land without paying rent......

The Prime Minister was bewildered by a series of questions, and curiosity drove him from time to time to make sure he went there to see for himself.

On Sunday, the sky was cloudless and the wind was beautiful.

The prime minister didn't tell the uncle, and secretly asked a good classmate to break into the concession, wanting to see what the lease was like?

Hey!

The area is very different from the "outside": clean streets, rows of scattered houses, neon lights flashing during the day, and bustling with activity. The streets are lined with yellow-haired, white-skinned, big-nosed foreigners and ostentatious patrolmen.

Just as the prime minister and his classmates were looking around with excitement and excitement, they suddenly found a group of people surrounding the front of the patrol police station, shouting loudly.

They hurried over.

In the middle of the crowd, a ragged woman was begging and crying something, and a big, yellow-haired, blue-eyed foreigner stood proudly and proudly.

When asked, she learned that this woman's relatives were hit and killed by a foreigner's car, and she had hoped that the Chinese Patrol Police Bureau could support her and severely punish this arrogant foreign devil for running amok on the road so unscrupulously.

Who knew that the Chinese patrol police not only did not punish the foreign devil who caused the accident, but reprimanded her, and kept "flattering and begging for favor" by this foreign devil.

The Chinese watching around were all clenching their fists tightly, looking eager to try to "hold on to the unevenness".

However, in the foreign concessions, who dares to do what, and what can they do?

The only thing that can be done is for you and me to persuade the unfortunate woman to give her a word of sorrow and change her ways, and to leave the "concession" as soon as possible, a place where the legal norms and behavior patterns are very "deformed".

It was only after this incident that the prime minister truly realized the meaning of his uncle's "China is sluggish."

After returning from the concession, the students often saw Chang Chancellor meditating alone, and no one knew what he was thinking. When he asked, he was always pondering and did not answer.

It wasn't until I listened to the Prime Minister's speech in a class that I really solved the mystery in the hearts of all the students.

The class that day was taught by the school's principal Wei.

When the excitement came, President Wei asked the students an open-ended question: "Please think seriously about such a question, what are you studying for?"

As soon as this question came out, it was enthusiastically answered by the students.

"Reading for reason. ”

"Study to be an official. ”

"Study to earn money. ”

"Reading for food. ”

"Study to be famous. ”

"Reading to improve your life. ”

"Reading for the sake of self-cultivation and standardizing virtues" ......

There are a variety of answers.

Principal Wei didn't say a word, just looked at everyone with a smile.

By chance, under the glance of the class, Principal Wei inadvertently noticed the prime minister who had been sitting there quietly without rushing to speak, so he made a gesture to calm everyone down.

Then, deliberately pacing in front of the Prime Minister, the young Prime Minister answered the question, "Come, let me ask this classmate to answer this question." As he spoke, he made a "please" gesture with his hand, focusing the attraction of the whole class on the prime minister.

The Prime Minister stood up and replied clearly and firmly:

"Study for the Rise of China!"

Principal Wei was shocked when he heard this!

He never imagined that a twelve or thirteen-year-old child would have such ambition and mind!

He opened his eyes wide and asked again: "You say it again, what are you studying?"

"Study for the Rise of China!"

The premier's sonorous and powerful words won the applause of President Wei: "Wow! For the rise of China! Those who have aspirations should serve as prime ministers!"

Yes, the young prime minister had already realized at that time that if the Chinese wanted to be free from bullying by the invading powers, they had to revitalize China.

To read, this is the goal!

Here I want to say that I am not the prime minister, I do not have such ambition and talent, nor do I have the great ambition of the prime minister, let alone hope to become a great man for generations to come. However, I know that I am a mother's child, a man in the family, and I should and must hold up a sky for those I love and those who love me.

No wealthy families, no strong assets.

All they have is their own hands and the confidence to move forward and the determination to never give up.

At present, I can only work hard, study hard, and study hard to meet what I should do at my age.

Just as Liu Zongyuan, one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, once wrote the poem "Reading", which is famous all over the world:

Gloomy thanks to the world, looking down on Tang Yu silently.

Looking up and down the past and the present, there are thousands of ups and downs.

When you are happy or laughing at yourself, you are also emotional.

The ethereal pieces are scattered and scattered, and the front and back are more than each other.

Miasma disturbs the spiritual house, and the day is different from the past.

The text is at a glance, and it is completely unruly.

Who is talking about it, but it is with bamboo.

When you are tired, you lie down, and you are sleepy.

Lack of stretching limbs, chanting for self-pleasure.

is complacent, not willing to be a Confucian.

At the end of the road, he closed his mouth, and Xiao scattered and donated to prison.

The clever man is clumsy for me, and the wise man is foolish for me.

The history of books is self-pleasing, and the safety is diligent and slashing.

Gui'er has a six-foot body, don't be driven by fame.

The whole poem uses twenty-eight five-character poems to show Liu Zongyuan's humble bookworm appearance when he was reading:

Sometimes I laugh happily when I hear interesting things, and sometimes I feel sad and uncomfortable;

When you are tired of reading, you fall asleep, wake up and stretch your body, continue to chant poems, and immerse yourself in the ocean of reading all the time, why not?

Therefore, the poet couldn't help but sigh with emotion and ended with the last four sentences: "The history of books is full of self-pleasure, and the peace is diligent and slashing." Gui'er has a six-foot body, don't be driven by fame. ”

From the happy and comfortable understanding of reading to the worldly utilitarianism and vanity are dust, so it ends with an open-minded and tolerant mind.

In the process of reading, the day is nourishing, and the air is refreshing,

In the process of reading, self-cultivation and self-cultivation, pleasure of body and mind,

In the process of reading, work hard and keep pace with the times,

In the process of reading, he is quiet and far-reaching, and he is diligent in mechanics.

At that time, I emulated Liu Zongyuan's wise method of reading books, emulated the Prime Minister's inspirational determination to read, and secretly set a simple and worldly goal for myself in my heart.

"Reading for a happy life for my mother. ”
