"Be a Person You Respect" is a classroom speech delivered by Rao Yi, Dean of the School of Life Sciences at the 2015 Peking University Graduation Ceremony. Including punctuation, the speech was only 535 words, and the speech lasted less than four minutes, but it received nine applause, and then it was reposted more than 20,000 times by popular netizens on the Internet, which can be called a model and model for graduation speeches.

After all, it is the teacher of the top university in China on the earth, not to mention the compulsion and connotation of this article, it is commendable that the heavy topic of "self-esteem" can be recognized by the graduates with humorous and academic language.

In addition to the wonderful content, Su Bai chose this speech because it was short.

After all, I haven't just crossed a lot of situations and don't understand it, and the more you say, the more wrong you are, it's better to say less. The content of the speeches at the major ceremonies has always been disliked by the audience, and it is a considerate choice for an excellent graduate to enter the following dance program as soon as he finishes chattering early.

As for the students' responses, the speaker Su Bai was quite satisfied.

With his words, applause and laughter rang out again and again. Although he couldn't see the exact expressions of the audience in the audience, Su Bai standing on the stage could feel the enthusiasm of anger, and when he arrived at the place where Rao Yi's speech was interrupted on the earth, Su Bai was also interrupted again and again.

"Once, twice...... Three times...... Five ...... Eleven times, twelve times ......"

Su Bai counted silently in his heart. Maybe it's because he's still a student, and it's very contrasting to give such a tall graduation speech, and the applause from the audience is more frequent than at the graduation ceremony of Peking University on Earth. Before the end of the speech, Su Bai had paused 12 times because of applause.

In such a joyful atmosphere, the short speech was finally coming to an end, and the young man on the stage lowered his voice a little, and retracted his tone to soothe his emotions.

"Don't ask how to do it, come back in 50 years and tell our alma mater how we can do it. ”

"Before all the atoms we contain return to nature according to the second law of thermodynamics, they have experienced both the wonder of physical nature and the loveliness of human nature. ”

At this point, the applause cut off the speaker's voice again.

Originally, the speech ended here, but I remember that the students generally didn't react in the earth video, and they didn't applaud again until Professor Rao cleaned up the manuscript, so after the applause faded, Su Bai added another sentence by himself.

"Thank you, alma mater—" he said, bowing forward.

"Today, I graduated!"

Audience: "......"

To Su Bai's surprise, with the last closing sentence, the audience suddenly fell silent.

Why is it silent?

Shouldn't the whole speech be a round of applause at the end of the speech?

Perhaps—because it's so close to the last applause, it's over?

Faced with the unexpected silence, Su Bai's mind quickly turned a few doubts.

After about three seconds of silence, the audience suddenly burst into violent laughter, and the momentum was huge, more enthusiastic than any previous applause.

Although Su Bai, who was standing on the stage, couldn't see the expressions of the audience clearly, he could see that the people in the seats were staggering to each other, and some were prostrate forward, as if they couldn't straighten up with a smile.

Hey?

How do you laugh like this?

Am I getting something wrong?

Su Bai looked at the audience with a confused expression, but after the speech, he naturally had to step down first, and in the laughter, he bowed to the front again, and walked back to the direction of the backstage step by step.

Wait a minute!

The moment he passed by the two hosts, he suddenly remembered something.

"If we remember correctly, when the two hosts announced the curtain just now, they seemed to say 'Su Bai, a classmate of the ninth and fifth grades', and the impression is that this year is 2096, and this body seems to be only 16 years old......"

Thinking of this, Su Bai's entire face suddenly twitched.

"So, I haven't graduated yet?!"

……

As soon as he got off the stage, Su Bai was once again surrounded by his classmates.

"Hahaha, Su Bai's speech is good for six!" a boy smiled and put it on Su Bai's shoulder.

"Six, six, six, absolutely six, especially the last sentence is simply too six. The other boy was smiling and his hat was gone.

"Su Bai, you, this, it's just ......" A girl pointed at Su Bai and laughed so much that she couldn't say the whole sentence.

"Uh, I'm ......"

Facing the happy friends, Su Bai was a little embarrassed.

It's obviously a graduation ceremony, and it's obviously a student speech, so how can you not find a graduate to talk about it, but let the junior students from the first year of high school and the second year of high school talk about it?

The customs of this world are a bit strange.

I've thought it through as much as I can, but such an extreme situation is really not in the scope of consideration.

At this moment, Su Bai's mood was quite nervous, it would be fine if it was just the laughter of his classmates, but if he poked out such a big Louzi, I am afraid that he would not just be laughed at.

Sure enough, when I looked up, I was facing a female teacher who was glaring angrily.

"Su Bai, what are you doing!" she asked angrily with a frown.

"Didn't the shadow tube give it to you a long time ago, can't you read it? You're only a freshman in high school, why did you say that you graduated, you wouldn't be stupid!"

"This, no......"

It's okay if it's just a training, but when he heard the words "I'm stupid", Su Bai only felt a chill down his spine, and he pinched out a reason as quickly as possible.

"Actually, teacher, I just wanted to make a joke. He stroked his hair and avoided the female teacher's gaze and replied.

"I just think the atmosphere of this graduation ceremony is too sad, and it's not good for high school life to end like this, so I just wanted to make a joke and liven up the atmosphere. ”

The female teacher snorted in her nose and gritted her teeth: "The active atmosphere is not like you, you can play the content of the speech by yourself, but the theme of the speech is 'Younger brothers and sisters send blessings', how can you joke about the theme of the speech?"

"I'm really sorry, teacher, I just think it's better......"

Su Bai lowered his head and apologized again and again, and just as he was struggling with how to apologize more sincerely, his words were interrupted by a voice behind him.

"Haha, it works really well!"

When he looked back, it was a middle-aged man of about fifty years old, with slightly white hair, glasses, tall and thin, with a smile on his face, and it seemed that he was a teacher at this school.

"Director Jiang, don't be kidding, I really didn't expect such a situation to happen. The female teacher said helplessly.

"No, no, no, I'm not joking, Mr. Zhang, the effect of Su's speech is really good. ”

Director Jiang came over and patted Su Bai on the shoulder and said, "The students were originally sad and reluctant to make sad faces, and some teachers who cried couldn't persuade them, after such a speech, everyone is now amused, isn't it good to have such a happy graduation ceremony." ”

"It's also ......," Zhang Yun sighed, "It's really not good for students to have a bitter face at the graduation ceremony every year." ”

Director Jiang said again: "As for the impact, I will come to the stage to help Su say a few more words in a while, so you don't have to worry." ”

"Hey, then please director. ”

Zhang Yun shook his head and looked helpless, glanced at Su Bai and went to arrange the next show.

Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and nodded his head to Director Jiang with an embarrassed smile.

If I guessed correctly, this is probably the part of the teacher's speech in the graduation speech, and with the help of this teacher, I should not be suspicious anymore.

After another two or three minutes, the dance program on stage ended, and after a brief curtain call, Director Jiang walked up to the stage.

"Dear teachers and students, hello everyone, I am Jiang Weixian, the director of the third level of high school. ”

He spoke again: "Before I start my speech, first of all, I would like to thank a certain humorous classmate, because of whom our evening suddenly became joyful. ”

was mentioned by Jiang Weixian, and there was laughter from the audience.

Jiang Weixian spoke again: "Everyone knows that there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand readers, and then there will be a thousand graduates in the hearts of a thousand students." Perhaps in the eyes of Su Bai, he is a graduate, and we might as well respect his choice and enjoy this unique and humorous blessing speech. ”

"Just now, everyone, including me, patronized and laughed without applauding, and here I propose that everyone make up the applause to him, okay?"

Jiang Weixian took the lead in applauding, and applause accompanied by laughter also sounded in the audience. The laughter lasts as long as the applause lasts, and the laughter is as happy as the applause.

After receiving such enthusiastic feedback from the audience, the first speech of the traverser Su Bai came to a successful end, but at this moment, he couldn't relax at all.

Please, hey, this is already a parallel world.

Where did Hamlet come from?
