Chapter 14 The University is Like a Beauty
A university is like a beauty, which can be a temperament that diverges from the inside out, showing its elegance, such as how many books there are, how many scientific research achievements, and how many profound teaching resources. But it is inevitable that the appearance is angular, and the eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips that can be seen at a glance are still the first elements that people will never forget.
The so-called eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips, these are how many celebrities can be called, what kind of outstanding representative products there are, and what influential representative events have occurred. Counting the opening ceremonies of various universities and the speeches of the presidents, almost all of them are like flipping through the calendar and ranking celebrity anecdotes, because these are far more than talking about how many books there are in the library and how much employment rate there is this year.
So this time is no exception, the opening ceremony of Central South University of Science and Technology after military training first talked about satellites and major key projects from two bombs and one honor, it is indeed said that it is exciting, from the first big science project, to the synthetic bovine insulin, from the exploration of gravitational waves to the prospect of quantum communication, from those meritorious figures to the celebrities of the past dynasties, and then mentioned the four freshmen of this year, one is a poor mountainous area with part-time work and perseverance to be admitted to Central South University of Science and Technology, one is a young leader in the documentary, one is in high school to insist on volunteering to help the disabled, and the fourth is Cheng Ran, who refuses the temptation of the outside world to be full of feelings for Central South University of Science and Technologyγ
Then there are a few hopes, the first of which is to establish lofty ideals. The second is to cultivate a fine style of study. The third is to pay attention to cultivating the concept of collectivism and carrying forward the team spirit, because "modern society is becoming more and more cooperative, but all those who have great achievements and great careers should have a collective concept and team spirit." β
Then he put forward a concept of "the next 30 years", that is, "the next 30 years will be the construction period of China's national rejuvenation to rejuvenation, and it is also the golden period for all people to be young and vigorous, and the next 4 years of study at HKUST will largely determine the coordinates of the next 30 years for everyone." I hope that everyone will have no distractions, learn literature and martial arts, serve the motherland and the people, create the future with the self-confidence of the University of Science and Technology, and achieve the great cause of national rejuvenation!"
Next, Professor Lin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, gave a speech, putting forward "three questions for learning" and sending a message to the new students to "aim high and cherish time like gold".
And the speech of the president of the school's student union, "with the sorrow of all families, the land and the mountains and rivers, the youth into the melody of the times, and the help of the world!" was also very impassioned.
There is no doubt that under the influence of this environment, it can indeed bring people honor, hope, and the exciting incentive to make a difference in the future.
The president of the student union of the school walked off the stage after speaking, and Zhang Jing, who was eye-catching as early as the beginning, and Zhang Jing, who was dressed appropriately as the hostess, stepped forward and announced that Cheng Ran, the freshman representative of the Academy of Computer Sciences, was invited below.
When Cheng Ran came on stage and staggered with her, the two glanced at each other, and then Cheng Ran stood on the stage, and he could see the student union girl in the audience looking at herself in a programmatic smile, and she couldn't see any other expressions.
It's like a falcon looking at a rabbit. It doesn't really need to be caught and eaten, it's just a deterrent look, and I think it's interesting.
Cheng Ran didn't look at her anymore, faced the audience, and began to speak, just like a strange thing, what everyone observed was nothing more than a rarity, and when you saw more and listened more, after the novelty faded, I also felt that it was nothing more than that, Cheng Ran simply made a one-time appearance, unveiled the veil of mystery, and in the eyes of everyone, he could be said to be "wonderful" or in the eyes of some people, and the image of "willful overkill" was fully displayed, and after thinking about it, there would not be the scene of the giant panda in the opening of the school.
It's just that Cheng Ran, who was supposed to be a rabbit, spoke confidently and calmly in front of the rostrum, and even Zhang Jing, who has been through various large-scale, serious or lively student occasions, was quite surprised.
The content of Cheng Ran's speech is "Standing on the boundary of knowledge, everything in front of us is unknown", and he can listen to and integrate his own experience, saying that "it should not be others who tell us where the end is, but we should choose our own starting point and end," which vaguely corresponds to the reasons of the outside world for "rejecting Tsinghua University and Peking University to choose Central South University of Science and Technology".
β...... Some people are disappointed that students from prestigious universities are becoming exquisite egoists, with the aura brought by famous universities, they don't have to worry about work, they don't have to worry about their future, the domestic platform is small, and the foreign world is big. So one day in a developed country, your wallet is swollen, your material is rich, and the conditions are comfortable, is it okay? Of course, this is your choice, and others have no right to interfere, but isn't it possible to use this as a criterion to define whether you succeed in life? Secularly you can, but spiritually and personally, it is rare that everything is really safe? Do you still maintain a strong spirit of study, instead of being eaten away by comfort, staying outside the laboratory and leading the group to poop on your own belly, waiting for flowers and halos for entertainment? Do you still dare to challenge authority, instead of bowing down to the authoritative knowledge system, and admiring those established towers infinitely, even if you find a flower that blooms irregularly in the plain of authority, you don't dare to sprout and question it in the slightest?"
β...... Can you still maintain the sharpness and ability to study more than solving the problems given by the instructor, it is to find the problems yourself? Whether it "adheres to the concept that there is no one move to defeat the enemy, only down-to-earth". Will you ridicule and despise those who are not as good as you, who can only do boring scientific research work in the most unpretentious posts, and the so-called army of scientific research migrant workers? Do you wake up one day and find that you should not only carry personal honor and disgrace on your shoulders, but also the motherland across the ocean after studying abroad, or the land of the motherland under your feet to breathe and share the same destiny?
"Of course, we must pursue personal success, but I hope that after one day we achieve personal success, can we think about where our 'dream of a strong country' comes from? It comes from the poverty and hardship that the Chinese have never been able to get rid of in the history of the nation for thousands of years. It came from the exploited position of a citizen of the Third World after the modernization of the world. It is the current situation that after the country's rejuvenation and development, it is lagging behind and being controlled by others. Whether the future Chinese can be confident and self-reliant to lead the forefront of the world's tide, whether they can change from 'Made in China' to 'Created in China', and whether our future generations can proudly say 'I am Chinese!' when mentioning their bloodline, it is precisely not because of the strength of the country, but the spirit of perseverance that we have always inherited regardless of hardship and adversity, and will not be eroded even after the material is highly developed!
That's probably what makes people noble!"
......
After Cheng Ran finished speaking, he went off the stage in a thunderous applause.
If the speeches of freshmen with expectations for the school and infinite longing for life are generally still immature, then this speech accurately describes the university's scientific research and employment mentality, without the vanity of the past quotations, but is full of dry goods, just like a graduate student or doctoral student of HKUST, at least the heartfelt words of HKUST for many years.
Several leaders of the University of Science and Technology looked at each other, and they could see each other nodding slowly.
An old professor with the title of academician of the Academy of Sciences, one of the several big Buddhas of the University of Science and Technology, gently clapped his palms and smiled at the professor next to him, "This freshman has a very high spirit......
The professor next to him said, "But too...... It's a big mouth. β
"Academician Fang Cailin didn't say that you should aim high. But if you say that this is a teenager's spirit, I don't think so, but there are many people who are mentally mature in today's children......"
Huang Pei, the vice principal on the other side, did not raise his hands and applaud like others, but put his hands staggered in front of his knees, his face expressionless. In fact, he is most disgusted with some backward students who are loud-mouthed and open-minded. In Huang Pei's view, you are a freshman who thanks his mother and father for his cultivation and honestly speaks a few words, and your constructive speech is indeed not bad, everyone applauds and shouts, but what is the reason for rushing into the debate team?
Of course, there are some students with serious scientific research backgrounds who end up going to the camp to get to the top of the camp, Huang Pei has seen a lot, and some phenomena have long been dissatisfied.
The group of counselors below is also well-informed when they get the news, and Shi Jiaxun received a senior brother from a counselor from a colleague Chinese College and said, "What kind of baby is this Cheng Burning in your class?" But this will definitely cause a bloody storm, how about making a bet, it will definitely be mixed. For example, in the rhetorical question, does Central South University of Science and Technology have? Compared with foreign aid, the funding of our laboratory is one day and one place, and foreign experts want people to ask for money and resources, and the "practical difficulties" on the school's lips are gone, and there is nothing to give. Whether you, a student, have heard of it before or not, someone must be unhappy to poke it like this. β
Shi Jiaxun said, "What's wrong with mixed reviews? It's better than being the same." My students are so good. Remember, what is interesting about Cheng Ran's student is not what kind of champion he is, our Central South University of Science and Technology, there may not be so many generalists, but there are many champions in competitions, and even in various science subjects in the country, so champions are not rare. He is a Top2 person who desperately tried to win over all kinds of sugar-coated shells in Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School and did not capture them, you ask yourself, did you have this kind of courage back then? So don't say that he is no less than you and me in such a mature speech, that is, I am not surprised that he did something! And you look at the scene, the undeniable success!"
Cheng Ran stuffed the recorder into his trouser pocket after getting down, this is the task assigned by the old Jiang in the air, and after determining the freshman speech, he told Jiang Hongshao about it on CQ, and the latter has been excited to see Cheng Ran's speech, since he can't get rid of Shi Jiaxun is also the faction of Central South University of Science and Technology, Cheng Ran thinks that it is better to say something, so he immediately wrote a speech and sent it to Jiang Hongshao by email. It didn't take long for the CQ icon to flash, and the dolphin avatar of "Jiang Spring" was jumping, and Jiang Hongshao replied, "Wow...... Want to hear it...... I'd love to hear ......."
It's like you're going to jump out of the screen.
"When the time comes, record it and send it to me, it would be nice to have a video......"
Even if the video is forgotten, the transmission is troublesome, but the process is still able to do it, holding a voice recorder in his hand, and finally copying the recording file and transmitting it to Jiang Hongshao through CQ.
At the end of the ceremony, university life officially begins.
Cheng Ran went downhill from the stairs on the platform in front of the dormitory building alone to eat in the second canteen in the Xingyuan dormitory area. This canteen is a place he used to come to often, mainly because the canteen is in charge of the aunt's hands, two taels of rice can bury you in the plate to three taels, and a cabbage can often be scooped up to a pagoda full of oil and gas.
Today, I lined up in front of the window with a plate and looked at those recipes, and in the end I still made a serving of rice, a portion of spicy rape head and lotus white. and scooped a scoop of vegetable soup that didn't cost money from the side, the standard configuration, just like the life that was faced single-handedly in those years.
found a place to sit down, in fact, everyone in the dormitory asked Cheng Ran to eat together today, but he still decided to come over alone, and it was more or less a revisit.
With a sense of ceremony, Cheng Ran probed forward with chopsticks and spoons, scooped up the food and ate the vegetables, and relished the taste.
As everyone knows, from beginning to end, there was a woman who ran from the gym next to the second canteen and then came to eat, and saw the scene of Cheng Ran eating two dishes and sitting in the corner of the meal.
The girl who put on a small coat after the workout hesitated for a moment and went to the window.
After a short time, when Cheng Ran was finishing half of the food on the plate, the light and shadow in front of him suddenly dimmed, and someone sat down, and it was beautiful enough to attract the eyes of about half of the people in this canteen.
It was the hostess of the student council who met at the beginning of the school year, and at the beginning of the freshman ceremony, the roommates and many men in the dormitory shouted "Oh yes punctuality!".
The double-layered lunch box on the top of the girl's hand rested in front of Cheng Ran, one or two rice, a shredded leek pork, a vegetarian duck, and a bowl of braised pork with oil star feet next to it.
Sitting down, she gently grabbed the hair on the left side with one hand, and began to eat with a spoon in the other hand, and there was no reserve at all, and in the end she didn't need to be as careful and reserved as some girls when eating, freshmen, or some girls in front of boys to pay attention to the image, she didn't have to be half a point of timidity, but in the end it was also very good-looking.
She scooped up a piece of vegetarian duck and took a bite, chewed the crispy tofu skin and sneered, then tilted her head, her smooth black hair hung down along her slender neck to her chest, her round and good-looking eyes looked over, and she spoke, "When I entered the school for an interview, your remarks were reported to the school, and then there was a notice to cancel the management of the sale of fetuses in the school...... It's good, this kind of thing used to be done with one eye and one eye closed. But do you wonder if the school is really making such a big fuss because of an ordinary student interview?"
Cheng Ran looked at the girl in front of him who was articulate and not very strong, but always gave people some pressure, and he didn't send a spoonful of rice in his hand to his mouth.
"Later, I went to the school office to find out, and I found out that this was the case. It's the champion of Sichuan Province who doesn't go to Qingbei in the newspaper, who is disrespectful and disrespectful. Xu Ziling...... You should be smart, but don't be crooked. Gifts are exchanged, this is for you. β
The woman in front of her closed the lunch box and spoon, apparently preparing to take the rice back to the bedroom to eat, but the bowl of braised pork next to her was pushed in front of him.
"It's kind of a reward for the interview. β
"No matter what you have experienced in the past entrance examination, but eating vegetables all day long, nutrition can't keep up, it's not good for mental work like studying, unless you don't want to continue to be among the best in college, isn't there a scholarship?
Then as early as before, at the table where many people pretended to be looking subconsciously, the girl who had already been recognized by many people as a famous Dan of the University of Science and Technology picked up the lunch box and got up, suddenly thought of something, turned around before leaving, and smiled, "Also, my name is Concubine Xuan." Today's speech was good. β
The girl walked away, and then under the dome of the second canteen, Cheng Ran looked at the braised pork.
