Outside the venue, Bian Xuedao was once again surrounded by reporters.

Regardless of whether he is justified or not, his words and deeds at the venue today are "controversial", so he will not offend reporters, and he accepted the interview with a smile on his face.

A short-haired male reporter who looked to be about 40 years old asked, "Mr. Bian, do you really not understand what you said today?"

Bian Xuedao smiled and said, "I really don't understand." ”

The male reporter then asked: "As far as I know, you often go abroad for business negotiations and social gatherings, and I have seen in a report that you have a high level of spoken English, is it that the reporter of that article is lying?"

Well?

This male reporter's question is very urgent!

The male reporter was clearly saying that the reporter who wrote the previous report was lying, but in fact he was implying that he was lying - either he was bragging about his English proficiency to the outside world, or he was deliberately hyping himself up at the "exchange meeting".

Bian Xuedao understood the sinister words of the male reporter, but he still kept smiling and said: "I didn't understand, there were not only problems with my English level, but also problems with whether the other party's pronunciation was standard, and some problems with words that were too professional." Not to mention a foreign language, even the dialects of some regions in China, not everyone can understand it, and this is the reason why the country vigorously promotes Mandarin. ”

Another female reporter with glasses asked, "Mr. Bian, are you a nationalist?"

Bian Xuedao replied with a smile: "I don't know how you came up with the word 'nationalism', but what I can tell you is that I oppose extreme and narrow nationalism. ”

"I'm not against learning English because our country is moving towards internationalization and needs more accessible conversations...... The question is, it's understandable to use a foreign language when communicating with foreign colleagues, but why can't you use your mother tongue generously when facing a domestic peer or a low-professional audience? At least at home, among my compatriots, I think there should be more self-respect and self-love for Chinese. ”

After listening to Bian Xuedao's answer, the female reporter who asked the question rolled her eyes and asked: "But Mr. Bian, don't you think that it is personal freedom for scholars to speak at conferences, write articles in what language, and submit articles to which journals?"

Again, a sharp question.

Bian Xuedao suddenly realized that his words and deeds at the venue just now were very likely to cause an uncontrollable storm of public opinion.

Ay......

In the end, it is still "young and vigorous"!

In the end, I forgot to be cautious because of my wealth!

Isn't it good to make your own money honestly?

Isn't it okay to comment on two sentences in a fake way?

Can't you pretend to be deaf and dumb?

Why do you have to openly point out problems on an occasion of 1,000 people, such as an "exchange meeting"?

The Olympics are coming, and the whole people are learning English in full swing, how can I forget this background?

At this point, the arrow is off the string, and it is impossible when it doesn't happen.

Now Bian Xuedao can only try his best to make his views less loopholes, so that more people can understand the starting point of his thoughts and actions.

He replied: "It is indeed his freedom in what language a scholar speaks at the conference, and in order to learn advanced ideas from abroad and exchange the latest achievements with the world, a scholar should also master and use foreign languages well......

"However...... "Scholars should assume certain social responsibilities in using their mother tongue to promote their own public's understanding of science and promote the positive interaction between scientific development and social development in their own country." Conferences like today's should play a role in popularizing science for the public and promote the public's understanding of cutting-edge Internet concepts as much as possible. ”

"People live in language, nation lives in language, history lives in language, culture lives in language, language is the world, language is people, and language is the home of the world and people. The mother tongue is the soul, and the foreign language is the tool. Entering the era of economic globalization, opening the door to the world, going out to show yourself and develop yourself, English is an important communication tool, but it is only a tool. Learning English is about better communication with foreign countries, not about replacing our mother tongue with English. ”

"The purity of language is related to the cultural cohesion and soft power of a country, and the mother tongue is the carrier of maintaining a nation's way of thinking and acting, and the mother tongue is the blood that connects history, present and future. The poet Hölderlin once said that if words are broken, nothing can be left. Dude wrote in "The Last Lesson" that the people who died and became slaves, as long as they remember their language, are like holding a key to open the prison door. ”

Therefore, it is the common responsibility of the whole society to defend the mother tongue and purify the Chinese language. If we ourselves do not attach importance to or care for our mother tongue and think that our mother tongue is inferior, how can we expect outsiders to respect and aspire to our culture? It is a bit alarmist to say that the Chinese language is dying out, but at least in the field of science and academic education, the exclusion and neglect of the Chinese language is a reality that is happening and spreading. If science is the core of a nation's future world, if it is not nourished by scientific discourse and thought, what will be the future of the Chinese language and the Chinese culture it carries?"

After Bian Xuedao finished speaking, the surrounding reporters fell into thought at the same time.

Seconds later, another female reporter asked, "Is your conservative thinking contrary to the era of openness?"

Bian Xuedao stretched out his right index finger and shook it lightly twice, and said: "I emphasize once again, English does have advantages in today's world, and I am not opposed to learning English, but what I am opposed to is the unprincipled and aimless abuse of English, the behavior of exaggerating English and rejecting the Chinese language, and the behavior of self-dwarfing, self-denial, self-deprecation, self-practicism, self-exclusion, and pathological reverse racism. ”

Reverse Racism ......

The more he interceded, the fuller he became, and he glared at the female reporter who asked the question: "The mother tongue is the lifeblood of the nation, the cohesion of the nation, and the symbol of national independence and national pride." When it comes to protecting the mother tongue, it has nothing to do with conservatism and openness. Protecting the mother tongue is not the same as being conservative, and giving up the mother tongue is not the same as being open. The key to openness lies in the mentality, and the focus of openness lies in tolerance and communication, but I have never heard that being able to speak a foreign language is openness, and I have never heard that being able to speak English is advanced and developed. Many countries in Southeast Asia speak English, whether they are poor or poor, and they are still backward. ”

The female reporter persistently asked: "If you don't speak English and can't communicate, how can you connect with the world, how can you learn advanced technology and concepts, and how can you realize the rise of a great power?"

Bian Xuedao looked at the female reporter with a smile on his face and asked: "What kind of communication needs to be premised on sacrificing the mother tongue? What kind of openness needs to be at the expense of the mother tongue? What kind of integration needs to be based on the depreciation of the mother tongue? Throughout the thousands of years of human history, the most important expression of a nation's strength is the export of languages, such as English, French, and Spanish and Portuguese. A nation that has been assimilated by other languages, a nation that does not even cherish its own mother tongue and cannot even protect its mother tongue; a nation that lacks national self-confidence and pride, and even lacks national self-esteem and a sense of national identity; and a country that does not dare to use its legal mother tongue in a straightforward manner, what kind of development, what kind of advancement, what kind of dignity, and what kind of rise?"

This interview is a battle.

An uphill battle!

Bian Xuedao must first "defeat" these reporters before he can win the understanding and recognition of these people who have a certain right to speak.

If he can't convince these reporters, it will be difficult for him to turn the tables when tomorrow's report comes out.

Because of this, Bian Xuedao was very "patient" today, he did not leave in a hurry, but waited for the reporter to continue to ask questions.

Surrounded by voice recorders, recorders are the most loyal listeners.

The interview will become an important basis and material for reporting, so as to avoid distortion and misunderstanding of his words and deeds at the venue to the greatest extent.

A young male reporter with a black voice recorder in his hand then asked: "Mr. Bian, do you agree with the statement of 'Chinese language defense war' on the Internet?"

Bian Xuedao shook his head: "Defend the war, who to resist? The problem with the Chinese language is not the 'invasion' of foreign languages, but the fact that we despise and despise our own mother tongue. Some Chinese people think that Chinese is an inferior language all day long, look down on their mother tongue, feel that speaking Chinese is cheap, and feel that speaking English is high-end and high-end. A Chinese, starting from primary school, to university, and then to graduate school, doctoral examination, and evaluation titles, the future of his life is "left" by English. As a result, in a translation examination held in Shanghai, the English proficiency of the candidates was very high, and one of the Chinese-to-English questions called for the translation of 'rich and noble' into English, and many people translated this sentence as 'Berich, but-not-sexy'. ”

Many people have learned English for more than ten or twenty years, and many college students would rather abandon their professional courses to learn English well, but they have rarely interacted with foreigners, and there is no one in a hundred who is engaged in daily work using English after graduation. I really don't know what is the use of this kind of English learning and bilingual teaching for all? What is the use of English learning that takes up a lot of precious time, energy and wealth of countless Chinese people?"

The young reporter standing on the right side of Bian Xuedao asked respectfully: "Mr. Bian, how do you evaluate the Chinese language?"

Bian Xuedao looked up into the distance for a few seconds, and replied: "Chinese is the most beautiful language in the world, and the artistic conception of a five-character poem may take dozens or hundreds of words to interpret in English. The charm of Chinese lies in sound, care, and form, Chinese must first learn Chinese well, Chinese is the first, Chinese is the best!"

………………

The interview is over.

It ends with a sentence that made reporters jaw-dropping, "Chinese is the best".

Although Bian Xuedao did not explicitly admit it in response to questions, in the minds of journalists, he is a nationalist.

And in fact?

Bian Xuedao was never a nationalist.

His words and deeds today, including what he said in an interview, are all derived from the strange "sense of responsibility of family and country" of a reborn person.

Reborn, like Spider-Man - with great power comes great responsibility.

In his previous life, Bian Xuedao was a newspaper reviewer, which belonged to a kind of editor, and if you zoom in again, you can barely count half a literary youth + half an intellectual.

Cultural people, a little sensitive, a little pursuit, a little bit of family and country feelings.

As a result, Bian Xuedao in this world will "convuls" from time to time, because he is always worried that he will leave this world one day in 2014, in that case, why not remind the motherland of this time and space as much as possible, and remind that something has gone astray?

Even if people can't correct it with a slight word, they can be regarded as dedicated.

………………

The place to eat was set by Meng Jingyao.

It is estimated that Meng Jingyao inquired from Jiang Mingkai that Bian Xuedao likes to look from afar, so the dinner was picked at the Beijing Club on the 50th floor of the Beijing Building.

It doesn't matter where you eat, you can go to the appointment while learning the Tao, but it is just to give Zhu Zhichun and Meng Yinyun a face, and they will withdraw at once.

Not to mention the thorn bird, even if it is a golden phoenix, there is no extra thought to learn the Tao now.

found Meng Jingyao by the window, and spoke first while learning: "Miss Meng, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Meng Jingyao, who was dressed in a black dress and did not have a single ornament on her body, leaned on the chair, looked at Bian Xuedao with a smile and said, "I thought you were amazing, but I was very disappointed to see your watch at the exchange meeting today." ”

The first sentence was "disdainful" by Meng Jingyao, and he didn't think it was wrong, he asked with a smile: "Oh, you were there in the morning, did you raise your hand when I asked if I understood?"

Meng Jingyao's sitting posture remained unchanged and said, "I don't raise my hand lightly, nor do I invite people to dinner." ”

Bian Xuedao said: "Some things must be said, and some things must be done. ”

Meng Jingyao listened, and said with a smile: "Just listening to your deeds, it's hard to imagine that you are such a person." ”

Bian Xuedao flipped through the menu and said: "As long as the ideal is good, you can do everything." ”

Meng Jingyao stared at Bian Xuedao who was flipping through the menu for a few seconds: "A man with a real heart needs a woman who can appreciate his ambitions, that kind of pleasure has a different style than the sympathy between men." ”

Bian Xuedao listened, put down the menu, looked at the deep groove in the V-neck of Meng Jingyao's dress and said, "When your girlfriend changed her name to Lucy, how can you give her a song "Bodhisattva Man"?"
