Chen Sheng's father-in-law is far easier to deal with than Secretary Yu's mother-in-law, after Canglong waited outside the ward for ten minutes, Secretary Yu left the hospital, of course, he didn't give Canglong a good face when he left, and when Chen Sheng came out, he looked him up and down, and then said: "You are my future son-in-law?"

Canglong naturally nodded, men will always have their own topics, Canglong and this Chinese professor at Yale University are no exception, and most importantly, both of them are now engaged in education, so when it comes to talking, there are more topics.

"It's rare to see someone who can make Xiao Yu angry like this, you are the first one I've ever seen, even Xiao Xue doesn't have this ability. The two said as they walked, Chen Sheng's attitude towards Secretary Yu was obviously not very respectful, just like two revolutionary couples, he never cared about Secretary Yu's identity, from beginning to end, he called her Xiaoyu.

"I didn't want to be angry with her, but she always treated me like a burden. Canglong said calmly.

"You young man, your mentality is very good, our Xiaoxue didn't choose the wrong person. Chen Sheng nodded, "You are now working in Dongning No. 1 Middle School, right?"

"Yes, I work at No. 1 Middle School. Canglong nodded, "What, you used to work in No. 1 Middle School?"

"No, I have a friend who works in No. 1 Middle School, and it has been more than ten years now, and I don't know if he has retired now. Chen Sheng said, looking at Canglong, "Talk to me, don't be so polite, if you don't dislike it, just call me father-in-law, I'm really embarrassed, just call me Lao Chen, that's what Xiaoyu used to call me." ”

Hearing this, Canglong's heart moved, obviously Chen Sheng regarded himself as a relative, which made his heart warm, but he still didn't call his father-in-law, but just said: "Okay, who is your friend, I don't know if I recognize it." ”

"Sun Qingguo!" Lao Chen said, sighing, "Back then, he and I, Xiaoyu and his insiders were all educated youths who went to the countryside together, and it was really emotional to recall those years." ”

"You said Principal Sun?" Canglong counted the entire school, and it seemed that only Principal Sun and Director Yan could be in the same era as Lao Chen.

"Are there any other old teachers with the surname Sun?" asked Lao Chen rhetorically.

Canglong smiled and didn't dwell on this question, but asked, "He is retired now, and he is idle at home raising flowers and grass." ”

"Looks like you're on good terms with him. Lao Chen was a little strange, but he was not a person who liked to play dumb riddles, and then said, "Back then, he and I fought from the team of educated youths to school, and from school to academia, and the two of us were mortal enemies from beginning to end, on academic issues, how could you, an overseas Chinese born in France, have such a good relationship with him? Could this old guy have had an epiphany?"

Canglong didn't say anything, and he didn't ask more, Lao Chen obviously regarded himself as a relative, otherwise such a secret topic, he would definitely not easily talk about a person who had just met for less than half an hour, he naturally wouldn't think that Lao Chen was the kind of person who couldn't hold back his words, and how could it be so simple to capture a strong woman like Secretary Yu?

He could see that Secretary Yu forced Lao Chen away, but he never forgot Lao Chen, and he never changed any of his heart from beginning to end.

"We're just in a working relationship. Canglong said calmly.

"Working relationship?" Lao Chen was a little unconvinced, but he didn't dig deeper, just said, "Child, how long have you decided to wait for Xiaoxue? a year, two years, or ten years?"

"Why do you ask that?" Canglong froze and looked at Lao Chen strangely.

"I mean, if Xiaoxue has to lie in a hospital bed for the rest of his life, will you wait for him for the rest of his life?" asked Lao Chen.

"I do what I can, if I can. Canglong nodded firmly, "But I will do everything I can to make her wake up, she will." ”

Hearing this, Lao Chen glanced at Canglong deeply, seemed to notice something, but did not speak, was silent for a long time, he said: "You shouldn't give up everything you have for Xiaoxue, if she really can't wake up, then you can find someone else, don't waste your youth, your life has actually just begun." ”

This sentence made Canglong's heart bitter, because he didn't have any youth, and after thinking about it, he said: "I can't make any promises, I can only do my best, unless the situation forces me." ”

"Hmm. Lao Chen was a little surprised, looked at Canglong and shook his head again, and said, "Do you know what I was fighting with Lao Sun back then?"

"What?" said Canglong.

"The collision of traditional culture and Western culture will have an impact on China's education sector in the future. Lao Chen suddenly became serious, the two walked to the pavilion on the side, and Lao Chen said, "Come, sit and talk." ”

Canglong nodded, sat down, and said, "Principal Sun adheres to tradition, and you insist on Western culture?"

"You guessed right, I insist that Chinese education should learn from the Western model, but also retain its essence, Lao Sun said that China has China's national conditions, so we must adhere to the tradition, but this tradition seems to be very disappointed so far. Lao Chen said.

"Hmm. Canglong nodded, listening attentively, now it was not appropriate for him to interject anything into it.

"Since the reform and opening up, China has been in line with the world, and there has been a great conflict between Chinese and Western cultures. Lao Chen shook his head with emotion, "I'm wondering, how could he have such a good relationship with you." ”

"It's just a working relationship. Canglong still insisted.

"Don't bluff me, although I am old, I am not stupid, your relationship with him is definitely not ordinary, just from your tone, you can hear a thing or two. Lao Chen said.

You continue. Canglong didn't say anything else.

"Traditional education is right, but what I was worried about at the time was that with the impact of Western culture, the younger generation of people would be unimaginably rebellious in the shackles of traditional education, and the traditional strict education model would inevitably be impacted by the Western-style liberalization model, and even make most students disgusted with tradition, and in the end there would be no harm but no benefit. Lao Chen shook his head and said helplessly.

Obviously, in an academic controversy more than ten years ago, it has been confirmed now, and the old cliché has captured today's form of education, and Western culture will have a great temptation for students who have been cultivated under traditional education, and this Western culture is not only the content of books, but also the habits and ways of life.

In the decades since the reform and opening up, the biggest change in China is actually the integration of Western culture, allowing Western culture to pour into China, and finally leading to the criticism of tradition and becoming a shackle on young people.

The frown in Lao Chen's eyes told Canglong that he actually didn't want to see this result, and if he could, he even hoped that Lao Sun's point of view was correct, but the reality often gave people a result that they wanted, but they could get but would be disappointed.

"Then what do you think is how to prevent it if it is prevented at the beginning of the conflict between the cultures of the East and the West?" Canglong suddenly asked.

"It's useless to say these things now, but when I discussed with Lao Sun at that time, I actually wanted to relax the rigor of the traditional model of education, that is, the teacher should let go of his identity, there is a saying in traditional culture, called a teacher for a day, a father for life, but I think it would be better if it was changed to a teacher for a day and a friend for life. Lao Chen said.

"A teacher for a day, a friend for life?" Canglong turned his mind, and suddenly felt that if this idea was developed in the current education model, it seemed to be very feasible, but how to become friends with students became very difficult, I am afraid that any teacher will find the difficult problem.

However, he quickly got an answer, so he said: " If you think about it, the traditional culture of education, whether it is at home or at school, is like a tight spell, but if in school students can be free to relax, do not have to be so constrained, and in the family, they will be constrained, in contrast, students will naturally prefer to stay in school, they will naturally learn more, this is what I originally envisioned, especially in today's education, if such a model is implemented, teachers and students become friends, it seems that it is not a difficult thing, the difficult thing is that teachers are unwilling to let go of their identity。 ”

"They will worry that their students' academic performance is not good, and that in the eyes of Chinese parents, there is no future, and no future means that their children will go to the bottom of society. Canglong deduced a logic that even he found ridiculous.

"Just because you don't do well doesn't mean you don't have a future. Lao Chen was a little disgusted by Canglong's reasoning, and said with a deep frown, "China is just not more modern, and the construction of various public facilities has not yet started, if it starts, it will be much simpler, but this is the responsibility of the government." ”

"You mean to let the government run events of all kinds of specialties, just like the Americans and Europeans do?" Canglong asked.

"Yes, in fact, the most scarce educational resources in China are not schools, but the construction of sports culture outside schools. Lao Chen said, "In the United States, there are all kinds of sports events, basketball games, baseball games, football games, all kinds of sports culture, the growth of American children, are accompanied by one of the sports, once you play teamwork sports, how much impact on a growing young person." ”

"Hmm. Canglong nodded, from the children who have been affected by sports culture, when they grow up, they will not only be in good health, but they will be much more positive and optimistic in character, and their teamwork skills are also excellent, and the most important thing is that they have their own goals since they were young, and they will not be confused to choose this and that.

Because of this, the United States and Europe are the first countries to popularize the Internet, but most of the time children in these countries do not spend most of their time at home guarding the computer, because for them, the computer is not the only foreign sport, they still have friends, they have partners, on the sports field, like close comrades.

In comparison with Chinese families, most children's time is actually spent in school, and in the spare time after school, teachers will assign heavy homework and complete it under the supervision of parents, even if they get rewards from their parents and get some sports equipment, they actually have no time to play, and in the end most of the time is used as decoration, or even forgotten.

Not to mention the kind of exercise habits that have accumulated over time, so that the pressure accumulates more and more, so there is adolescent rebellion, and parents and teachers have headaches for their children.
