Chapter 166: Zhang Shaojie's Speech

On September 17th, in the afternoon, the sun seemed a little scorching.

"Shaojie, welcome back to your alma mater to give a speech and share your precious life experience!" Principal Deng and some teachers welcomed Lingnan Middle School in front of it.

Zhang Shaojie nodded and said, "It should be!" By the way, how did Shaohuai perform in school this semester, did he listen carefully in class, and how did he get his recent exam results? ”

"Shaohuai, he's a little genius!" A female teacher in her twenties smiled and said, "In all subjects, he can be in the top three in the class." There are some memorize exams, and you can even get the first place in your age! ”

She is Ye Wanting, the Chinese teacher in her younger brother Shaohuai's class, and the head teacher.

"Yes, that's good!" Zhang Shaojie was quite satisfied with this answer.

Accompanied by the group, Zhang Shaojie began to come to the auditorium.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a red banner with the words "Welcome Senior Zhang Shaojie", which was hung in the auditorium.

In the lecture hall, the school's workers are still setting up, microphones, chairs, and podiums.

Many teachers and students watched Zhang Shaojie curiously inside and outside the auditorium.

"Who is Zhang Shaojie among those people?" At the door of the auditorium, several girls gathered together, chattering.

"Oh, the short-sleeved one in the middle, the one in black!" A girl grinned and pointed.

"Wow, so handsome, I didn't expect the senior back then to be so generous!" One girl reveled, "If only I had been born a few years earlier and be in the same class and table with him!" ”

"Cut, girl, don't dream in vain!"

I haven't been to school for a few years, and the last time I came to the school in a hurry, and this time I came to Zhang Shaojie and even the previous teacher was gone. Young teachers are looking for opportunities to change jobs, and few are willing to stay in low-paid secondary schools as teachers.

In the 80s, most of the primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong were self-financing fee-paying schools.

Unlike in the late 90s and early 20th century, both government-funded public schools and privately sponsored private schools began to become non-profit institutions.

It's funny to say, because there are problems in Hong Kong's higher education, and some of the graduate and doctoral students trained are not reliable in academic standards.

Many large companies are reluctant to hire PhD and graduate students in Hong Kong with high salaries. As a result, many doctoral and graduate students in Hong Kong are not as popular as college students after graduation.

After graduating, many local graduate students in Hong Kong find it difficult to find a job, so they go to primary and secondary schools to apply for teachers. These highly educated teachers can endure loneliness when they hold teaching positions. If given the opportunity to find a new job, they generally do not hesitate to quit their jobs as primary and secondary school teachers with low salaries.

"Education is meant to endure loneliness!" Principal Deng sighed, "If a teacher always wants to be prosperous and make a lot of money, how can he keep his heart? ”

Zhang Shaojie asked silently: "The school's finances should not be ideal, right?" ”

Principal Deng said: "There are school directors who donate money, and there is also a small amount of tuition. Although it is harder, it can pay the salary of a teacher. ”

Zhang Shaojie said: "If the school accepts sufficient private funding, it will no longer charge students' tuition fees. So how much does it cost for a year? ”

"How?" Principal Deng's heart was racing.

Zhang Shaojie said to himself: "Not this year -- if next year, my various careers are on the right track." Schools can be fully funded. In addition, I suggest that the school design more subjects, such as computer courses, comic courses, creative writing, and film and television acting. The more free choice and teaching students according to their aptitude, we can have better development opportunities! ”

"Now the school spends more than 3 million yuan a year, and the school can't afford to hire more teachers to add courses and hire more teachers," said Principal Deng.

Zhang Shaojie said with a smile: "Next year, my various careers will be on the right track. That's not a problem, I can even personally fund 5 million a year, do you say enough? ”

"That's more than enough!" Principal Deng said excitedly.

Secondary schools only serve as educators, unlike universities, which also serve as academic research. With a funding of HK$5 million a year, Lingnan Secondary School will become one of the top secondary schools in Hong Kong in terms of quality of education!

Compared with ordinary secondary schools, Lingnan High School is undoubtedly a bit like a university, with three types of subjects designed by the school, including arts, science and business, allowing students to choose more development directions.

If, according to Zhang Shaojie's suggestion, the school adds subjects such as computer, comics, film and television, then Lingnan Middle School, as a middle school, already has a certain rudimentary form of a university.

Of course, the additional subjects suggested by Zhang Shaojie are also to reserve talents for his career.

A few days ago, Zhang Shaojie was invited by Lingnan Middle School to give a speech in the school's auditorium this evening. At that time, thousands of teachers and students will listen to his speech!

In order to make this speech successful, Zhang Shaojie even typed some drafts of the speech.

Although I didn't bring the manuscript with me, I kept it in my mind. Zhang Shaojie believes that either you don't go to give a speech, or if you want to give a speech, you have to enlighten and help the audience in life.

Because the target of Zhang Shaojie's speech is teenagers, teenagers are at the stage of shaping their surnames and aspirations.

If youth falls, it will have a very bad impact on the future of life. Such a speech is meaningful if it can explain beneficial values to young people.

5 p.m.

The presentation was almost ready.

After many teachers and students in the school gave speeches, the host began to invite Zhang Shaojie to give a formal speech.

"I am very grateful to Lingnan Middle School for nurturing me, and I am also grateful to Lingnan High School for giving me this opportunity to speak!" Zhang Shaojie smiled, "I basically don't have many public speeches. In today's speech, I am not going to say anything about the shocking treacherous gimmick. I just want to talk to you about my views on life, education, and the future career development of young people! ”

There was silence off the field.

Thousands of teachers and students all felt that Zhang Shaojie's aura was really much stronger than the teachers and students in the school!

At this time, a middle school teacher at the school was about to take out a record and play the background music "Under the Lion Rock", although the music was quite inspirational.

But it undoubtedly interfered with Zhang Shaojie's speech, and he frowned suddenly!

"Well, I like this song a lot. However, the trouble is to turn off the background music. I can't talk anymore because I listen to the music."

Bring sand to the beach! Principal Deng hurriedly glared at the teacher and asked him to turn off the music.

The troubled faculty and staff were also embarrassed to step down.

After the music was turned off, Zhang Shaojie's thoughts began to return to normal again.

More than 1,000 people listened to the speech.

However, after experiencing a lot of big scenes in the past few months, Zhang Shaojie can fully hold up the scene, he recalled: "First of all, let's start with when I was a child, when I was young, when I didn't remember things, my mother passed away. His father was an ordinary corporate accountant. However, when I was 6 years old, I faced the first setback in my life when my father left us early due to a traffic accident. At that time, there was a 4-year-old younger brother Shaohuai at home. Because we were orphaned, my brother and I couldn't help but be overshadowed in our hearts. At that time, my aunt adopted two of us. ”

"My aunt is an expert in early childhood education and knows how to use words to motivate a child. When I was in the first grade of primary school, I was at the bottom of my class in Chinese and math exams. You know, at that time, all the grades were full marks, and I was considered an honor student, and I could only take the test with sixty or seventy points. Once the teacher invited my aunt to the school and said, your child Zhang Shaojie is so stupid that he can't concentrate all day long, he will be in a daze, and he is the tenth from the bottom of the class! ”

Zhang Shaojie said that he was stupid when he was a child, and suddenly, at the venue, thousands of teachers and students couldn't help but get closer to Zhang Shaojie psychologically. Because, celebrities with shortcomings are more charismatic celebrities and more flesh-and-blood celebrities.

"The teacher obviously told my aunt that I was incorrigible, but when my aunt came home, she said to me, "The teacher said that you are very smart, as long as you can pay attention to the lectures in class and pay attention, your grades will improve to 30th." With my aunt's encouragement, I became a little confident. As a result, after a few semesters, my grades began to rise to the top 30 in my class. ”

"When I was in the third grade of primary school, another math teacher said to my aunt, "Your Zhang Shaojie can't teach." He can't understand mathematics at all, he is not good at mathematics, what hope is there for the future? My smart aunt, after returning home, said to me, "Child, your math teacher said that most of your homework is very good, only math is lagging behind, if you can make up for this shortcoming, then you can get in the top 20 of your class!" So, I was once again motivated to spend several times as much time studying math. Later, by the time I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, I was already in the top 25 of my class."

"When I was 4 years old in elementary school, I began to like the novels of Jin Yong and Gu Long, and even peeked at them during class. The teacher found my aunt again and said, your Shaojie, originally had very average grades, but now he reads novels in class, and his grades have slipped to more than 30, and if you don't work hard, you can't teach!

My aunt was very calm and chatted with me, and the teacher said that at such a young age, you have learned to read martial arts novels that can only be experienced by adults, and he felt very surprised. However, if you adjust the time to read the novel on the weekend, rather than reading it during class, then your grades will be in the top ten. In this way, you will not only learn the same textbook knowledge as your classmates, but also have some more valuable reading experience than them. After that, I corrected my habit of reading miscellaneous books in class, and my grades rose to the top ten in my class."

"This story tells me a truth, clever encouragement can inspire a person's confidence and fighting spirit! Life is like a battle, the enemy may not be as strong as we think, as long as you have faith and fighting spirit, everything has a chance! ”
