Chapter Ninety-Eight: Real Change
Good times pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is mid-November. That day, Wang Xile went home and said that the school was going to hold a flea market in the afternoon.
"It's going to be hard for you to compete in this year's flea market. I said.
"Why?" said the son.
"What's left in the bag under your bed, something that no one wanted when you went to the flea market two years ago, and it's even more outdated and no one wants it now. I said
"Dad, there are more people playing games now, and we must think about problems with game thinking. As he spoke, the son took out a few game cards and said, "I have this, these are a few game cards, and I will definitely make money by matching these things in the afternoon." β
"There are more people with game cards, who would be rare with this. β
"This is a treasure card. Small quantities. β
After school in the afternoon, Wang Xile came to my office in the middle school, he really earned ten yuan and the most in the class, listening to him tell the process of matching the expensive and cheap, it can be said that it is really a bit of a taste of business, and finally, he asked me what to do with the money, I still said that - the money I earned is handled by myself.
Passing by the Silver Lake Market on his way home, Wang Xile used the money he earned to buy a bottle of canned fruit that he liked to eat. When I got to my grandmother's house, he wanted to eat canned food, and I said that my grandmother's house didn't have the tools to open the lid of the can.
"Dad, didn't you say that wise people can solve difficult problems with simple methods!" Wang Xile rummaged around his grandmother's house as he spoke, and after a while he found a nail half the size of the can, and then he went to the yard and took half a brick as a hammer and nailed a small eye in the lid of the can. β
In this way, I opened the can lid with a slight twist.
"Dad, what is my solution?" said Wang Xile happily
"That's smart, that's great! How did you come up with this?"
"Dad usually uses a cone to pry the lid to release the gas inside, and I use a nail to nail an eye on it to deflat. β
Wang Xile's answer made me see that life education has made the mind of taking the initiative to overcome difficulties enter the hearts of children.
A few days later, at noon that day, Wang Xile came to my office with a prize, saying that he had won the prize in the "Humanistic Chinaβ’Cultural Chinese Composition Imagination Innovation Competition", and the article was published. I took it and laughed because I remembered when my son was competing. At that time, Wang Xile came home from school with the competition notice and said, "Dad, what do you write in imagination essays? I think it's too naΓ―ve to write essays like 'The Bridge of the Future' and 'Flying Shoes'. β
"Joy, how are you watching science fiction?"
"I've watched all the sci-fi movies on the DVD, and I've watched them several times. β
"Science fiction is the best imaginative essay. There's a spirit in science fiction that you just think about it and write it as a science fiction story about what interests you the most. You write well, and after you finish writing, Dad will change it for you. β
Wang Xile accepted my suggestion, consulted some information, and wrote the following science fiction story:
One day, I was piloting the Shenzhou N spacecraft to capture a luminous object in outer space.
After decipherment, it was a UFO that attempted to enter the earth from Chinese space at 10:30 p.m. on July 24, 1981, and was urgently launched into outer space due to a strong attack by the ozone layer. One of the explosive pieces of news shocked humanity. Aliens already know that the Earth's ozone hole is hollow, and their defenses are weakened, and they are building a base on Pluto to prepare to take over the Earth in 200N to obtain energy.
The world was shocked, Pluto is about 5.7, 500 million kilometers from Earth. It's too far away. People were in a panic. At this point, Dr. M said, "We still have a chance." "What's the solution?" everyone hurriedly asked. "There is a set of time-space sensing devices on the state N, and once the system starts to reach the speed of light and enter the space-time tunnel, it will not take long to reach Pluto. Dr. M said.
Soon, 100 warriors with unique skills and omnipotence gathered in Beijing from all directions.
On the take-off pad of the space city, Dr. M said coldly: "You go on a mission of life and death, everything is guaranteed, but we must fight for the earth." If you are willing to go, please take a step forward. "100 warriors lined up. Dr. M gave the warriors a deep military salute. Said:
"Good luck to you. β
At the command of Dr. M, the Shenzhou N activated the super sensing system. The warriors were sensed on the Shenzhou N in the blink of an eye. I wanted to see the Earth, but the ship went to the speed of light, and everything disappeared in an instant.
After a while, Pluto arrived, and rows of flying saucers appeared in front of our eyes. Those aliens with the upper body like a dragon, the lower body like a lion, and the middle like a goat, with flames in their mouths, are terrifying. We didn't care about that, and quickly went into battle as planned. The aliens have been beaten to pieces one by one by our nuclear thunder guns, and they are about to attack the main control base. At this time, the alien seems to have an extra layer of light-sensing armor, and it is difficult for the nuclear thunder gun to penetrate it, and the flames in the alien's mouth have also turned into rays, and our casualties are getting bigger and bigger. I discovered that each alien was followed by a beam of light from the main control room, as well as flying saucers around them. It's an alien ray of energy, and there's nothing we can do about it. The flying saucer lit up, and the comrades-in-arms said:
"Captain, we'll cover you and report back quickly. β
As the Shenzhou N soared into the air, I looked at the gloomy underground palace-like Pluto, and a cool air hit my body. Didn't my comrades die in vain when I went back? What's the point of me going back alone? I drove at full speed towards the aliens' main control base, and in these long seconds, the smiling faces of my parents appeared in front of my eyes, and at the last moment, the ship's automatic security system threw me into space.
The earth was saved, but it was difficult for me to return to the earth, and the future was a blessing or a curse, and I could only rely on the space flight suit on my body. At this time, a terrible voice came from space: "Damn earthlings, you can't save humanity even if you bomb our base." There is a hole in the earth's ozone layer, and we have shot the heavenly demon net to the earth, which will seal the outer space of the earth and constantly suck the air out of the ozone hole to replenish itself, and the earth will still be ours in less than 30 years. Ha, ha, ha......" The voice is gone, and I have to go back and tell the Earth about it.
I was flying back with SOS, and the cosmic black hole spotted me and chased after me. At the critical moment, a red lightning bolt came to me, and I saw that it was Superman! It turns out that Superman is also rushing back to Earth after discovering the secret of aliens in the Galactic Demon Realm, and he came to save me after receiving the SOS signal, at this time I know how important brotherhood is.
In extraterrestrial space, we can't pass through the aliens' net. I thought: if aliens are powerful but cannot pass through the ozone layer of the earth, then the most powerful friendship power of human beings will definitely be able to pass through the heavenly demon net. I immediately used Qigong to send exercises to Dr. M.
I got in touch with Dr. M!
We used up all the nuclear energy on Earth inside and out, blew up a small hole in the Heavenly Demon Net, and Superman took me through the obstacles.
Back on Earth, I told the world in Beijing: "China has bought time for the earth, but the blood of martyrs cannot be shed in vain, the ozone layer is the only obstacle for mankind to prevent alien invasion, and mankind must repair the ozone hole as soon as possible." β
A war to defend the planet was immediately launched around the world in 200N.
In all fairness. At noon on the day Wang Xile finished writing his composition, a news item was broadcast on the news at noon: It was said that the preliminary test of the "high-speed aircraft" researched by the United States using air compression technology was successful. I pointed to the TV and said, "Joy, look at how advanced this research is in the United States, once it reaches the stage of application, the United States will no longer use oil, think about what will happen to the world! Unfortunately, no one has won the first prize for China's scientific invention for five consecutive years!"
"Why?"
"You can't create something new. β
Wang Xile said no more, lowered his head and began to eat.
In the evening, Wang Xile was going to play games, but I watched a movie called "The Perfect Storm", which fascinated him deeply. The film goes something like this: the protagonist takes a few friends to go fishing, but there are too few fish in the original sea area, and they decide to go to the open sea in order to make a living. In the open sea, they caught enough fish, and while they were rejoicing, the ice machine on the ship broke down, and they had to rush back as soon as possible or the fish would spoil, when a message came from the communication system that there was a storm in the ocean and they had to make a detour to go back.
What if a detour means that the fish are going to go bad and there is no money to be made? They are all skilled boaters who have decided to brave the storm for the sake of life.
On the way back, the warriors united and confidently broke into the first storm, and just as they were about to win, the second storm converged from the other direction, and the warriors fearlessly continued to fight. After fighting for a while, the protagonists find that the storm is too strong, and they must admit the reality, otherwise the storm will tear the ship apart. At this time, everyone knew that there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance of turning the bow of the ship and exiting the storm, but they were not afraid of life and death, and finally succeeded in turning around with their super skills and bravery. As they hug tightly in celebration of their victory, the protagonist spots a third storm coming towards them through the short sunlight shining through the cracks in the clouds. Intuitively, the protagonist knows that everyone is in danger, and in the face of the 'perfect storm' that is difficult to encounter in a century, they rush forward with all their might, and finally all die in the sea.
When the movie showed that all the warriors were buried in the sea, Wang Xile crawled on the coffee table and cried, and when I asked him why he was crying, he said, "This is the real life." β
"Why real life?"
"Life needs to earn money. It's not easy to make money. The son said seriously.
I soothed my son to sleep, but I didn't feel sleepy at all, this film seems to be telling me something, but what is it?
Walking out of the house, looking at the smoke coming out of the high chimney of the alkali field, and drifting away in the shape of three waves by the air current, this scene instantly clicked on my brain, and a thought about the three waves of education became clear in my mind. The three waves of the theory: children's self-awareness is from the age of seven, first of all, the function of the motor nerve of the brain develops rapidly, he uses physical activities to experience the emotions between people, the child in the play at the same time, but also determines the strength of the blood oxygen function of the life. The specific performance of the child is strong physical activity, he only has a personal opinion but lacks group consciousness, if at this stage can be a good harmony between play and development of the body, the child will usher in the first wave of self-learning. For example, Wang Xile was very active in kindergarten and outstanding in all aspects, but when he was in primary school, because his play was restricted, his emotions were unpleasant, and when he had a sense of security about playing, he developed a phenomenon of self-learning, which was manifested in the sudden improvement of his learning in the second grade. But this progress of Wang Xile did not come from inner emotions, and when he found that there was no direct causal relationship between academic performance and the freedom to play, his motivation to learn weakened.
When a child enters the ninth grade, that is, the third grade, the emotional nerves in the brain begin to develop at an accelerated pace. The child begins to think logically and simply from past experiences. It is manifested in his awareness of his friends and social affairs. This stage, with diligence, inferiority, experience, self-identity, social identity and other emotions, will be intertwined with the child's mind, this stage is also the year of the generation of various consciousness, but also for the child to create a heart and shape the three views of the key period. Like Wang Xile in this wave, learning from the top students to the poor students. At this time, I strengthened the child's cognition of life, developed emotions, and cultivated self-control, and after nine months of downturn, I finally had a second wave of self-learning with cognitive development. The emergence of this wave is closely related to the common sense of life, which gives children a little taste of themselves.
Now, when the child is in the fourth grade, it is physiologically appropriate to enter puberty. The seeds of the three views in the hearts of children will appear with the third wave of self-learning in the social and moral environment, which is also the wave of youth. And these three waves can be called the perfect storm on the road of life, which determines everyone's life, and the roots of the three waves are all before the age of twelve.
Freezing three feet, not a day's cold. In our middle school, some good children will change dramatically in the second year of junior high school, individual children and even parents can not manage, on the surface it is the rebellious problem of adolescence, but in fact, the three growth storms of sports, emotion, and youth rush to young boys and girls at the same time. At this time, due to the unbalanced development of children's brain nerve function, they can not withstand such a big perfect storm, so that the defects of examination-oriented education in cultivating people's character suddenly appear, especially in the invisible and boundless new social conditions of the network society, it will show the oldest, most advanced, ugliest, and kindest things to adults and children, which is a new situation that human beings have not experienced on the road of slave society, agricultural society and industrial society.
Wang Xile is ten and a half years old, and education in spring and spring will be the first priority. The first thing to solve in adolescence is the cognition of men and women, otherwise human nature will develop in the direction of animal nature. I carefully observed, quietly savored, and tried to find the opportunity as early as possible, so as to correctly enter the first signal for Wang Xile.
The next day was a rest day, and Wang Xile got out of bed at about 10 o'clock and asked: "Dad, is it true that the five heroes of Wolf Cliff Mountain died together with the Japanese, and that the wolves in the mountains only eat the corpses of the Japanese? Is it true that the wolves in Wolf Cliff Mountain are also patriotic?"
"Where did you know that?"
"From the Internet. β
The child's words moved my heart, and I said happily, "What else have you checked?"
"Lugou Bridge, Qiantang River, I check everything related to the text. β
It is possible for the Internet to be a learning tool for children, but this may have to be based on the child's peaceful passage through play and adolescence.
"The wolves of Wolf Cliff Mountain are also patriotic, do you think it's true?" I said
"It doesn't feel like it. β
"Why?"
"I don't know. β
"In the world, all stories are beautiful, but the reality is cruel. For the things in the story, you first read this article by Mr. Sun Guisong, and then use your heart to perceive the things in life. β
Wang Xile reads:
"Who is making up history?
Writer Wu Jiaxiang said: "The history stated by one person and one faction is unreliable. One more person and one faction to make a statement, the more true history will be. Recently, I have read some articles that can be called history, and I feel that Mr. Wu's judgment is really correct.
Let's take the big guys as a story.
Premier Zhou was a good prime minister whom we respect very much, and he unfortunately passed away from cancer on January 8, 1976. After Premier Zhou's death, the flag was lowered at half-mast at the United Nations headquarters in New York, the United States. It is said to be the first time since the founding of the United Nations in 1945. As a result, some countries felt injustice, and their diplomats gathered in the square in front of the United Nations and asked the United Nations headquarters in angry words: Why did the United Nations flag fly so high when our head of state died, and why did the Chinese premier die and why did he fly the flag at half-mast after his death?
At this time, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Waldheim, came out and delivered a wonderful speech on the steps in front of the United Nations building, saying: "In order to mourn Premier Zhou, the United Nations flag is at half-mast, and I decided for two reasons: First, China is an ancient civilization, and its gold and silver treasures are innumerable, and it uses more renminbi than we can count. But its Premier Zhou didn't have a penny in savings! Second, China has a population of 1 billion (author's note: China had only 800 million people at that time), accounting for 1/4 of the world's population, but its Premier Zhou does not have a single child. If any of your heads of state can do one of them, the flag will be lowered at half-mast at headquarters on the day of his death. With that, he turned and walked away, and the diplomats were speechless, followed by thunderous applause.
When I first heard the news, I was also very moved. Our good prime minister has won the respect of not only the Chinese people, but also the respect of the whole world, which is really worthy of pride and pride. But in November last year, I saw a message on the Internet that the United Nations had never flown Premier Zhou at half-mast! In 2001, netizens sent a letter to the United Nations asking about this matter, and the reply was, 'There has never been such a thing.' The man also posted the original text on the Internet, in English.
However, 'it's not that I don't understand, it's that the world is changing fast.' Recently, someone wrote that the United Nations did fly the flag to half-mast for Premier Zhou, but that was just a routine move. In 1947, the United Nations established a flag code, in which the mourning rule was that whenever a head of state or political head of a member State dies, the flag must be flown at half-mast at the headquarters in New York and the offices in Geneva for one day of mourning. In this way, Waldheim's impassioned speech became nonsense, and I couldn't get excited.
I also want to talk about Li Siguang. The former Minister of Geology, known as the 'Light of Geology', was famous for proposing the theory of 'geomechanics'. It is said that it is precisely by relying on this theory that China found oil in Daqing, Northeast China, thus throwing off China's oil-poor hat. However, some people recently finished reading the book "Secret Archives -- Daqing Oilfield Discovers the Truth" launched by the Sichuan People's Publishing House, and realized that this turned out to be a big lie. The Daqing Oilfield is obviously the real "father of China's petroleum", Mr. Huang Jiqing used his original "geotectonic theory" and "terrestrial oil theory", first proposed and insisted on exploration in the Songliao Basin before finally discovering. "The survey and development of eastern oilfields such as Daqing have nothing to do with the theory of geomechanics", and "the theory of geomechanics has not been recognized and adopted by the international geological community". Oh my God, such a fact, such a conclusion, how many men, women, and children in all China know about it? Li Siguang, who received the grace of "knowing the encounter," did not say a word until his death, and the "relevant parties" did not come out to clarify it. Everyone was kept in the dark. Even in the geography textbook of the middle school, children are still being taught to use 'geomechanics' to find oil! (Hou Zhichuan, "Daqing Oilfield Discovers the Truth")
Others, such as watching the Great Wall in space, learning from Lei Feng at the United States Military Academy at West Point, etc., have all been hyped up, and finally some people came out to refute the rumors, saying that there is nothing going on...... It makes people feel like falling into the fog in the mountains, not knowing the southeast and northwest.
What effect will it have if we talk about and write down things that do not exist in the first place? It is nothing more than spreading rumors to confuse the public. Hu Shi said: 'History is just a little girl, let anyone dress up casually.' There is an ancient Chinese saying that 'three people become a tiger', and there is a Western adage that says, 'A lie repeated three times becomes the truth.' β
There is a figure who must be nailed to the pillar of shame and not recorded in the honor roll - Wang Huaizhong, the former vice governor of Anwei Province. Mr. Wu Fei said of this person in an article: "In the early years, when Wang Huaizhong began to toss in Fuyang, searching for the people's fat and people's ointment to establish a humble biography for himself, the common people scolded him for being a bad breed of the king; later, he was prosperous in the scolding, and when he saw him promoted to vice governor, the common people did not dare to scold him -- not because he was timid, but began to doubt his hearsay, wronged the virtuous, suspected that he was wrong, and then could not figure out the value orientation of the society...... Continue to dissect Wang Huaizhong"). Nowadays, in the face of all kinds of confusing statements, we doubt ourselves even more, and we don't know what kind of character this Rausch of history is. β
"Dad, there is also a portrait of Li Siguang hanging in your middle school building. When the son finished reading it, he said,
"Joy, let you read this article I want you to know that people are emotional animals, and all stories will add people's emotional preferences, but too much emotion in a good story will distort the facts or even become a lie, so students need to improve their discernment ability through learning. For example, today you can ask 'the wolves of Wolf Cliff Mountain are also patriotic', which shows that your discernment is improving."
To be honest, we Chinese have a habit of building "greenhouses" for children, although it is not wrong to say that this is the nature of all animals, but the problem is that we do not know when and in what way to remove the "greenhouse", so that the nature in the child from quantitative change to qualitative change into mistakes, so that children from childhood to adulthood naively look forward to the life in the story, and the formation of character weaknesses lack the initiative to overcome difficulties.
It is an outright crime to avoid the difficulties in life and educate the child, because the difficulties are both obvious realities and the kilometer card of progress, and it is not a big deal to show the difficulties to the child, what matters is how you guide him to act. If anyone is afraid that the knowledge of difficulties will affect the confidence of a child to improve, then you are completely wrong, because all living beings come into this world because they have to overcome difficulties. If anyone pushes the difficulties to the children for the sake of progress, then you are completely wrong, because using the spirit of our generation to help the children overcome difficulties is a matter of common progress of the individual, family, country and society, and the children's nature to overcome difficulties is stimulated and turned into a diligent member.
In the evening, Wang Xile wrote in his diary:
There are many things that happen every day in the world. Today, I saw the shocking news: the United States has developed the first high-speed aircraft.
The wonderful thing about this aircraft is that its power system uses air instead of oil. People can't help but ask, how can air make an airplane reach top speed? It turns out that the United States has developed a new machine that sucks in air and then spews it backwards through compression, which can make airplanes reach six to nine times the speed of sound. This means that American aircraft are going to evolve and become powerful again. Will the United States become the new empire on which the sun never sets?
Through the fact that the United States has built a high-speed aircraft, I feel that everything in the world has the potential to become a new energy source, and what we lack is a new way of thinking.
