015 Chapter 6 On Faith

We visited the school's library, laboratories and other places, and also went to the school's business incubation park, where many seniors started their own businesses and set up studios and companies. Some achievements have been made, but there are also a large number of bars and KTVs in the incubation park, which should not be what the school wants.

I also went to the old campus next to the school, where the Ermin Institute used to be, the place is not big, and now it is not abandoned, it is said that it was still a dormitory before, and now it is part of the dormitory for school workers, and half of the place has been transformed into the experimental area of our College of Biological Sciences. The college has an experimental field, greenhouses, greenhouses, winemaking workshops and some laboratories for teachers and students to do innovative experiments and graduation experiments. After all, science needs to be practiced, and the school's laboratories are too small to meet the needs, so there is such a place.

Among them, the greenhouse of the school flower club is very eye-catching, very popular with everyone, especially girls, there are all kinds of succulents and flowers, a wide variety, some grafted and genetically modified plants are eye-opening for us.

The senior said that in the past, the school would organize everyone to go to Helan Mountain to climb the mountain or play in the sand lake. But we don't seem to have any of those projects this year. In the past few years, it seems that the school has been tightened in funds, and the school is going to build a new campus, just behind the school, and the foundation has been laid. It gave me a sense of déjà vu.

During this time, I finally managed to memorize everyone's names. In the evening meeting, we elected two acting squad leaders, a man and a woman. The male squad leader is called Ren Jinbao, and the female squad leader is called Long Yu; it seems that for the next regularization, they both work hard, and they can be described as doing their best, but I don't know if they will have this motivation in the future. In high school, I had enough of the hardships of being a class cadre, and I didn't plan to continue working in college, so I made up my mind not to run for any class committee.

I also learned that the couple was not high school classmates, they didn't know each other before, they met in the school forum, they knew each other in the School of Biological Sciences, and they chatted with each other very speculatively. They all came to Yincheng half a month in advance. After meeting or talking, it has changed from a netizen to a current relationship, it is really old at first sight, love at first sight, love at first sight, love at first sight, hate each other late, and the soldiers are fast. In short, I just obeyed, really served. Wang Shiqi was also "canonized" by the 512 dormitory, and was honored as "Brother My Qi of Love".

512 was just across from me, all the boys in my class, and a few boys scattered in the next dormitories. The rest is in the apartment. There are only seven people in their dormitory, and the student who didn't come to school before dropped out when he saw the situation in the school, and he probably wanted to repeat the exam for another year. So I've been thinking about moving in.

As if to verify the saying: "There is a fat man in every dormitory." "They also have a fat man Guo Juntao who looks very rich in their dormitory. Mongolian, called: "Little Fat", "Big Fat" is Li Kunlun from the technical class of the dormitory next door, really "Kunlun", with the same physique as a mountain.

There are also two brothers who are also a little chubby, namely Zou You and Cai Qiushan, and the others are: basketball boy Yunnan Wang "Wang Quanfu", "Little Huihui" Luo Debao and acting squad leader Ren Jinbao (it should be understood why he doesn't have a nickname).

Two days ago, I also bought a basketball with Wang Quanfu and Cai Qiushan, and went to play basketball in the morning when I had time to prepare for the upcoming Freshman Cup basketball game.

The seniors in our dormitory also came one after another, and I also met Abu, and we joked about each other's accents. I also know what it is like for him to pray every day.

"Do you have faith?"

He asked me, and I didn't know how to answer.

"*** counts, we have Taoism, Buddhism, everyone occasionally burns incense to worship the Buddha, but faith doesn't seem to be talked about, faith or anything I usually don't think much about, how to live a life. ”

"My upbringing is very strict, so I don't smoke or drink, unlike other people, Hanati is guilty of everything, but this is his own choice, his freedom, many people say that I am old-fashioned, but in my opinion, I pray every day, eat on time, sleep, and I don't eat when I'm hungry when I'm fasting, and it's my own choice and freedom, it's a kind of self-restraint, and you have to have your own principles and persistence, isn't it? We can't choose our birth, but we can choose our own beliefs, whether you believe it or not, the Lord is there, in the sky or in the heart, it depends on your understanding. ”

"Yes, I think so, it's to say what you believe or anything, the key is how to do it. ”

"It's Eid al-Adha in two days, why don't I take you to the mosque to have a look, there will be a lot of people on that day, although you can't get in. ”

"Forget it, I'd better go to the Internet café and play games. ”

There are still a few days left before Eid al-Adha, where schools will be closed for five days, and Eid al-Adha is also known as Eid al-Adha, which is unique to the northwest and Arab countries, and has never been heard of anywhere else. This is one of the more important festivals in Islam, similar to our Spring Festival, around September every year. There is another more important festival, Eid al-Fitr. In the spring of each year, fasting is preceded by fasting, during the month of Ramadan, the Hui and other Muslims are required to eat and drink to their heart's content before the white of the East, and after dawn in the East until the sun sets, they are forbidden to have sexual intercourse and abstain from all food and drink. But the sick, pregnant women, breastfeeding women, young children, and those who embark on a journey before sunrise are among them.

At first, I thought that the doctrine that you can only drink water during the day and eat in the early hours of the morning is inhumane and unacceptable, and if I would definitely not do it, some young people of Muslim ethnic groups such as the Hui share this idea with me. But then I felt that although I couldn't be harsh on myself for a month, but considering the living situation here, combined with the living habits of the ancients, I felt that there was still a reasonable place, and the living environment here was very difficult in the past and even now.

Fasting in a broad sense requires people not to eat or drink, but more importantly, to be pure in heart and without desire, to be consistent in the outside and on the inside, to be in control of the ears, eyes, body, mind, and mouth, to be able to hear evil in the ears, not to see evil in the eyes, not to talk about evil in the mouth, not to think about evil in the brain, and not to be evil in the body. If you fast and go hungry, and your mind is not right, and you are not behaving properly, it is not in accordance with the true meaning of fasting, and it is also imperfect.

Think about how many people nowadays can be pure and have few desires and restrain their desires. The purpose of going through this process is also to cultivate character, restrain selfish desires, experience the suffering of hunger of the poor, germinate compassion, and use resources to help the poor and do good.

So the starting point is very positive, and I think maybe I can't stick to it, but I must have such a mentality. Before that, I had a lot of misunderstandings about the Muslims and other Muslims, and I didn't know the meaning behind these actions. I also admired Senior Abu's perseverance very much, and I felt more and more that the northwest is really a place to train people.
