"Now, the competition has officially begun, first of all, I will invite Nan Xiaoyuan to make a speech, and the time is three minutes. ”

As the host Sa Beining finished the stinky and long opening remarks in front of him, the eight debaters on both sides finally entered a state of having nothing outside their hearts and focusing on the game.

Nan Xiaoyuan took a deep breath and stood up to talk.

"As a senior, I am a post-85 generation. I believe that in the generation of people my age who grew up speaking Mandarin – except for Xiangjiang and Sing Tao – the rest of the continent, Wanwan, or other Southeast Asian countries, private cars are a luxury in most of our childhood and teenage memories.

I was born in a second- or third-tier city in China, and when I was in primary school, it was nice to have a private car among my classmates, relatives and friends. However, we can also clearly see that with the economic growth in the past ten years, the growth of private cars in both China and abroad, both urban and rural, has entered a terrible upward channel.

Human nature is selfish, and I'm no exception. I also want to enjoy the thrill of a ride—and because we understand the horror of desire, if left unchecked, there is nothing but the tragedy of the commons effect.

In most second-tier cities in China, the number of private cars can now grow by at least 100,000 a year. However, the planning and construction of urban roads cannot keep up with the development of the number of private cars. According to statistics from the city's traffic regulator, the commute time spent around the city during rush hour has skyrocketed from 35 minutes to just over two hours in the past decade. Four times as much time was wasted in traffic jams.

In our junior high school 'social studies' textbooks, Chinese scholars used to put two important political labels, such as 'photochemical smog' and 'acid rain caused by sulfur dioxide pollution,' on the heads of big cities such as New York when talking about the idea that Americans have developed material civilization but live in a bad environment.

However, just over a decade, when I personally went to New York last year and then returned to China to compare with the capital, I suddenly found that the original model city of 'photochemical smog' had been seized by the capital.

Because of the annual growth rate of more than 200,000 private cars in the capital, the city has also won the crown of the 'fog capital', which was once monopolized by London......

Environmental pollution, high energy consumption, urban congestion...... Obviously, these social problems are caused by the excessive number of motor vehicles - of course, we are not ruling out industrial energy consumption and pollution as the responsibility for these problems, we can use data to speak, at least in recent years, traffic pollution and energy consumption have surpassed industrial pollution/energy consumption, and have become the number one problem of urban environmental problems.

Therefore, with a sense of social responsibility to all mankind, we believe that the government should indeed control the number of motor vehicles in cities – especially the number of private cars, which has been a major component of the growth of urban motor vehicles in recent years.

Of course, we don't think that as long as the number of private cars is controlled, the government will be able to control urban traffic congestion, pollution, energy consumption and other problems once and for all. On the contrary, we have always insisted that such governance must be a multi-pronged process.

While controlling urban private cars, it is also necessary to vigorously develop public transportation, optimize the planning of roads and urban functional blocks, upgrade the technological level of transportation, advocate the guidance of clean energy, and control the number of government buses. Each of these parts is completely integral to the governance process.

In terms of control methods, the government may also wish to closely deduce, carefully verify, respect the market, and use a combination of various means such as special taxation, data monitoring, and education and guidance.

Because of the limited time, we will not repeat the specific governance methods that should be taken one by one.

In a word, we believe that controlling the growth of the number of private cars in cities is the only way to solve the problems of megacities, urban congestion, pollution, high energy consumption, etc., and there may be some difficulties and obstacles in the process, but we believe that it is only a problem of development, not a problem of route. Thank you. ”

Nan Xiao was subdued and frustrated, and he strictly pinched the 3-minute timeline, and stated the opening statement of 1,200 words in a very neutral, peaceful, simple and steady manner.

The audience generally did not react to the point of the problem.

Even the judges took out pen and paper and began to take notes.

This kind of opening statement, too detailed and indistinguishable, sounds like a headache, but if you want to say that there is a problem, I can't find it. "One of the judges, the great poet Kitajima, is the kind of brain circuit that jumps out of the casualness and thinks of what it is, and I have a headache when I look at this statement at the moment.

"I really don't want to give this high score, I'm too timid, I'm strict everywhere, and I don't have my own characteristics. "Fudan Professor Jiang also has a headache.

However, Chen Wenqian, a Wanwan literary thief who has been in politics, is the most suitable for this kind of statement, and is the first of the five judges to sort out the context.

A closer look at the reason is nothing more than Chen Wenqian's proficiency in those pigtails of the political work report - when he was in the Wanwan Council, the opposition side had to find problems every month by grabbing the ruling party's governance achievements. (See the scene of the group fight during the meeting.) ）

Over time, these countries that have been dragged down by the people's pig system have been very stable and comprehensive, lest they miss a point and say the wrong thing.

It's like New York Mayor Giuliani, who is typically extremely harmonious with the right, but when speaking in front of New Yorkers on the issue of "Respect for Police C." (The background to the speech was the recent attack on the Harmony Police by a black man.) ）

Just because he said "they (New York Police C) are protecting all of us!Black!hite!Latino......" and then he was stunned for a moment, and directly received the next sentence, which was sprayed by political commentators-

Because according to the political correctness of the United States, when it comes to the issue of racial non-discrimination, the correct word order is "Black, hite, Latino (Latino), Asian (Asian)". Giuliani only said one less Asian when he spoke, and that was discrimination against Asians (at that time, CNN's photographer had already given the camera to a group of Asians on the scene).

The opening statement made by Feng Jianxiong and Nan Xiaoyuan is this kind of absolute stability foundation.

At the same time as Nan Xiao's speech, in the position of the opposing party's S University, Chen Han, the third debater, also used a discussion tone to discuss with the main force Yang Weiwei for advice: "Sister Weiwei, the other party is too primary, the score should be very low, right?" ”

Reading 1,200 words in 3 minutes is equivalent to an average of 7 words per second, and there are also rhythmic pauses, so the part that reads fast is almost the same as flying. For the sake of this rhythm, Nan Xiaoyuan was crazy and integrated into the situation, tossing for three days and three nights, just for these three minutes.

"Don't underestimate them, this Nan Xiaoyuan's basic skills are very solid and hardworking. Feng Jianxiong's strategic command is only afraid that it is more difficult to deal with than we imagined. Yang Weiwei's expression was solemn, and she couldn't see a trace of contempt.

As she spoke, Yang Weiwei shut up, as if she had thought of something more serious, frowning and thinking in her mind: "In the last game, they were the opposing side, and the opposing argument could be more aggressive, while the positive argument should have tried to cover all aspects because there is no opponent, which is common sense."

However, to be able to reach this level in an all-round way, it seems that we are preparing to fight a battle of 'specific governance strategies', not like the 'philosophical confrontation that focuses on the ideological level' obtained when we visited the class that day. We're just afraid of a disadvantage...... We don't even have an MPA in the team, and it's not my fort......e to talk to the other party about the gains and losses of specific governance strategies."

(Note: MBA is "Master of Business Administration", MPA is "Master of Public Administration", P=Public, that is, the major that is read out to be a civil servant.) ）

Thinking about it, when he was about to be circled in, the host had already announced that the opposing side would make a decision.

As soon as the opposing side argued, Tang Wen stood up and began to speak, and the recitation pulled Yang Weiwei's thoughts back from his immersion.

Yang Weiwei suddenly blamed herself: "No! We don't have teammates who are studying MPA, do we have the other party? There are only a few undergraduates on the other side! And they are either studying law or business, and they shouldn't be able to do anything we don't know! Yang Weiwei, Yang Weiwei, what's wrong with you? How could you scare yourself into being bluffed by a group of little hairy children?"

Thinking about it this way, the doubts and uneasiness just now were all swept out of my mind. She forcibly collected her mind and quietly listened to her teammates' rebuttals.

“…… The opponent's argument just now said that congestion, pollution, and other urban diseases are mainly caused by private cars, and this argument is not agreed with by our side at first of all. For example, in the capital, the number of buses is not less than that of private cars, which has been admitted by the opponent's defense friend.

However, the opponent's defense friend tried to use the 'rapid growth of private cars' to hold private cars accountable, but they did not see the other side of the phenomenon: while the number of private cars has surged, the frequency of driving on the road is much lower than that of public cars. According to the financial statistics of the 'two barrels of oil' gas stations in various districts of the capital, the amount of gasoline to be invoiced or sold to the unit pre-recharge card is more than five times that sold to private cars!

Domestic civil servants and employees of public institutions are well-known for their love of eating and taking cards. Which is more distressing to burn gasoline at their own salary or to burn gasoline at public expense? How many people in Beijing are reluctant to drive a car when they buy it, but the cars of their units are bound to rub every time they buy them! Under such a national condition, the opponent's defense friend told us that private cars are the main cause of urban congestion and pollution that is more serious than public cars, and this is not a big joke in the world......

Such rebuttals, from the bus, urban planning, and the poor promotion of new energy, Tang Wen basically played it all over, and refuted a total of three or four points.

Tang Wen's argument is obviously not completely prepared before the game, but only has a framework that can be piled up with a lot of material for trade-offs - that is, if you actually read out all the words she prepared in advance to be used for the opening statement, I am afraid that I will not be able to read it in 20 minutes.

The strategy of the opposing side is obviously to settle the "which points the other side argues, we will pick which points of counter-evidence to attack".

This kind of play seems to be very targeted, but it is easy to put out your core values at the beginning.

For example, if Tang Wen's argument is to refute Nan Xiaoyuan, before refuting Nan Xiaoyuan, he will first start with a general outline, such as:

"First of all, we believe that whether or not to buy a private car is the personal freedom of a citizen. The biggest feature of contemporary administration is that it can be done without prohibition under the people's law, while it cannot be done without authorization under the government law. Therefore, if there is no absolute necessity, it is obviously contrary to the spirit of the rule of law that administers according to law, and it is also an unnecessary interference in civil liberties. ”

Then, the argument will seem to be outlined, not just the eye, but not the outline.

However, Tang Wen didn't do that.

Obviously, this is a tactic arranged by Yang Weiwei.

Yang Weiwei always likes "new wine in old bottles", and most of the time before the game, she only talks about evidence, not about buttoning the evidence. And save the opportunity to show the outline to the end, and then surprise the troops.
