blocked Han Shan's mouth like mud, and after talking about the objective Hong Yanwu, he was still unsatisfied.

He then talked about subjectivity again, and this time he turned his target to Ye Xuan.

"Your name is Ye Xuan, right? You just said that I am a 'small peasant consciousness', I admit it. Putting aside objective reasons, I don't think I'm a person who can be a person who can be overhanging, piercing, willing to fight for the cause, and 'writing Spring and Autumn with blood'. But you say that I wasted my time in vain, and I will regret it when I get old, but I can't agree with that......"

Ye Xuan is a young girl with a high heart and arrogance, and she thinks she is standing on the high point of theory. Hong Yanwu retorted like this, how could she stand it? Without waiting for him to finish speaking, she immediately argued unconvincingly.

"Why? Isn't it? Have you ever heard of a saying?'The most precious thing in man is life, and each person has only one life.'" This is how a person's life should be lived. Looking back, he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of being vile and vulgar. On his deathbed, he was able to say: 'My whole life and all my energies have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world—the struggle for the liberation of all mankind......!'

Just as she was a little excited, Hong Yanwu also interrupted her.

These are the words from "How Steel is Made" by Nikolai Ostrovsky. I also know a more concise sentence, from Yue Wumu's "Man Jianghong", 'Don't be idle, your head is white, empty and sad'. The reason for this is probably to link one's own pursuit with the interests of the motherland and the people, and to make certain achievements, so that one's life can be regarded as living up to one's own. Am I right?"

Ye Xuan really didn't expect Hong Yanwu to really know, his eyes widened, and he had to nod.

But then, a wave of trouble rose in my heart for no apparent reason. His mouth was still stubbornly questioning.

"Now that you know, what else is there to say? Are they not right? Is there something wrong with these words?"

"They were right. But there is a preconceived condition, and this is only for themselves, or for people like them, who have a similar spiritual level and are aspiring. To put it bluntly, it is just a high-level goal that people should pursue, representing the most noble and ideal requirements. But if you want to start from a realistic point of view, if you have to demand everyone according to this standard, I'm afraid few people can do it. There are very few people who can qualify. ”

Hong Yanwu pouted, and continued, "Can you ask everyone to think like this? Isn't it meaningless for people who can't do this? Most of those ordinary people don't have such a high spiritual realm. They are engaged in the most ordinary work, they only know how to calculate firewood, rice, oil and salt every day, and their ideas are mainly to earn wages and support their families. But without them, I am afraid that this society will not even be able to guarantee daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation. Everyone has to worry about the miscellaneous things in life every day, so how can we talk about the 'most magnificent career'?"

Ye Xuan did not waver in the slightest, and fought back very firmly.

"You are a fallacy, you are secretly changing the concept, Comrade Lei Feng said, 'willing to be the screw of the revolution', is originally to let everyone feel at ease in their own work. I also understand that all the wonders are based on the prosaic efforts of the broad masses of the people. And that's not what we're talking about. It's that people don't want to forge ahead, don't pursue, waste their time, and eventually regret it!"

Hong Yanwu didn't expect this girl to have a clear mind, so he didn't wrap her in. had to follow her back to square one.

He thought for a moment before he spoke again.

"But what you said, I think there is still a problem. Because your argument is not accurate enough. My understanding is that you think that if you don't have achievements in your career, you don't put in all your efforts at work. In the future, you will definitely regret it, and you will feel that your life has been wasted, right?"

Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment, and quickly nodded in confirmation. "Yes!"

But Hong Yanwu just smiled.

"Then you're really wrong. Because your conclusions are too generalized, and this understanding is too absolute. Do you admit that one kind of rice raises a hundred kinds of people? Each person's specific conditions are different, and they can't all achieve extraordinary achievements in their careers and work? Do you admit that everyone's life situation is different? Everyone's way of life will be different?"

Ye Xuan thought about it, but still couldn't deny it. But after saying "yes", she followed again.

"You want to talk about your 'umeboshi' theory? I admit that there is some fallacy in it. But you have to know, too. People must always pursue something in their lives and strive to prove their worth! We must not let our existence be meaningless! People must not give up their fighting spirit and enterprising spirit because of objective difficulties! Otherwise, they will not be cowards who give up on themselves? Won't they become low-level animals who only know how to eat, drink, and Lazar?"

These words carry the anger of hatred of iron and steel, and it is already a bit hurtful.

Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu was not stung, but shook his head again.

"I'm not emphasizing objectivity right now. I'm talking about the subjective consciousness of man. I agree with you in part. People have to pursue something, to prove their worth, and to make their existence meaningful. But what I want to say is that life is too rich. There are too many things that people want to pursue. Do people have to prove their worth? Is there only one way to achieve something in your career? No, that's just a superficial answer. It's a book of people who follow the book. What lies beneath this answer is the core truth. What people pursue all their lives is by no means to establish monuments and establish meritorious deeds. It's the emotion of man himself!"

When Hong Yanwu saw Ye Xuan's expression, he knew that she was confused. Not only her, but even the other people who were watching were all hazy.

He didn't wait for anyone to question it, and then took the initiative to explain it in detail.

"Primary school textbooks say that the use of fire and tools is the fundamental difference between humans and animals. I don't think so, chimpanzees make simple tools, such as chewing grass to absorb water and catching ants with twigs. The monkeys in the zoo will also ask visitors for cigarettes and matches. ”

"It is also believed that man's sense of independence and spirit of exploration are the characteristics that distinguish animals. But they don't prove that animals don't have these two things. Aren't tigers and polar bears loners except during their breeding season?

"But animals do have simple joys and sorrows, and people are different. Human emotions are very complex and delicate, which not only gives us the joy of life, but also gives us the sentiment and morality to restrain animal instincts. Many people think that these are based on sanity and intelligence, but that's wrong. ”

"The clearest example of this is when a person and his children face danger together. There is no time to think about at such a critical juncture. And no matter how timid people are, they will restrain their timidity and fear at this time. Not only will they not run away, but they will also sacrifice their lives to try to protect their children. In this process, he will not weigh the gains and losses, consider the probability of success, and do contradictory struggles. And this choice that does not need to be considered at all is completely determined by one's own emotions. ”

"I can even assert that every hero who sacrifices himself for others will not have too many thoughts when saving others. What's more, how can the value of life be compared and measured against each other? What motivates them to act is definitely a more sublimated emotion, a love for life, a respect for life, not a rational and intelligent intelligence that requires precise calculations and without emotion. ”

"In fact, even the word 'career' is just a form of expression of human emotion. Scientists study hard first of all based on their love for the subject, and the workers work hard in the hope that the country can prosper, and what they supported the soldiers in the bloody battle on the battlefield is not only hatred of the enemy, that is, the love for their fathers and fellow villagers, and their homeland. By no means every fighter is a Marxist-Leninist expert. ”

If this is true, it is enough to show that human emotions are the most precious thing in every human being. It is the most fundamental difference between humans and animals, and it is also the key to determining the value and goal of a person's life!"

When Hong Yanwu said this, the table was very quiet. Everyone listened attentively, almost all of them were attracted by his novel arguments.

And in this case, it is undoubtedly the best moment for him to change his words and throw out the final argument. 、

"When it comes to individuals, I still know myself better. I'm just an ordinary person, impulsive, a little selfish, and I don't like to be constrained or follow rules. If I really enter any large state-owned enterprises, or deal with machinery, I will be very uncomfortable. ”

"I can't do it for the people I have never met and for some noble goals, regardless of the gains and losses. For ordinary people like me, the only people who really care about it are the people around them. Relatives, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and all those who have good intentions to me and whom I have a good opinion of.

"In addition to that, I love my daily life and the old city. I love to deal with older people, to listen to them talk about the past, to listen to the pigeon whistle, to the sound of empty bamboos, to drink fried liver, to eat creamy fried cakes. It's okay to watch movies, bubble in the bathhouse, play poker with buddies, and have a drink. Plus teasing crickets in the summer and raising gnats in the winter. ”

"Of course, all of us understand that human life is limited, and time and energy are limited. It is impossible to cope with life with these limited things. So that's where the choice comes in. ”

"Fortunately, the biggest problem in the lives of many ordinary people is not too difficult for me. I don't lack money in my hands, not to mention anything else, I also have a share of seafood like Yangzi. In addition, I don't have to count on the public allocation of the house. Now the state has a policy to return private houses. Our ancestral house is a courtyard with four entrances, and as long as we get it back, even the next three generations will have a place to live. As for the problem of my family composition, I don't have to worry about it, according to the current trend, it will be almost time for a family like ours to solve the problem of Lao You. ”

"In this way, the direction of my life and how to make trade-offs are also determined. First, I demand that I be worthy of my relatives, friends, and neighbors. Do your best to make the people I care about and those who care about me feel more comfortable. At the very least, I want to make them feel that it is not painful to have someone like me in their lives. The second is that I want to live the life I want to live, the life I love. Don't grieve yourself for people and things that are not important at all. ”

"Seriously, I don't have a passion for those so-called lofty ideals, and I don't value glory and money, what I'm most afraid of happening. On the contrary, it is the situation that because of work and career, I cannot be with my family. ”

"I can't afford to have my parents sick and have to go on a business trip. I couldn't do it for my wife to give birth, and I still insisted on working. I hope that in the future, I can carefully accompany my child to grow up, leave more happy memories for my child, and don't let my child grow up, as soon as he recalls his childhood, his father is always absent. Especially since my parents are old, I can't tolerate regrets like 'children want to be raised but not treated' in my life. In a word, my life's pursuit is to connect with my loved ones and the people I care about. ”

"I figured out what I wanted. Although my attitude towards life is very low-grade and my consciousness is quite low, as long as they can live well, my emotions will be complete. Even if I have achieved nothing in this life, I have nothing to regret. On the contrary, it is to achieve fame, but I want to ignore them, and when I am old, I become a loner, and I don't even have a common memory. That's what I can't regret for the rest of my life!"

After Hong Yanwu's words were finished, the four seats were silent for a while. Many people were lost in thought.

As for Ye Xuan, he rolled his eyes angrily. She never thought that Hong Yanwu would be so able to quibble, and it was difficult to find a strong basis to refute.
