Chapter 611: A Hundred Years of Planning (13)
"Huayi is an old revolutionary base area, which has made great contributions to the country and the nation, and has also made great sacrifices, and many great events have emerged, as well as touching stories created by ordinary people, which are still being recited today. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info which has been solidified as a tradition and has become a valuable asset for reference. Qi Tianxiang looked at the students' expressions and said solemnly: "I know that there will be many students who feel disdainful when they say this. Yes, looking at the definition of the state in a constitutional sense, it is possible to ignore many basic understandings, after all, the state is an institution authorized by the people to manage economic affairs, and should not be too much associated with political inheritance. There may also be some understanding that public satisfaction is the criterion for judging whether a country is good or not. No matter how these constitutionalists and Western liberals judge the history of countries and political parties, it is difficult to separate the role of traditional culture, because after all, the birth of a country did not start from a small wind, nor did it blow in a strong wind. Looking at realpolitik in isolation from history is itself one-sided and narrow-minded, and this is not the subject of our open class. ”
Qi Tianxiang's frankness caused a discussion among the students, and then a wave of applause and cheers broke out, which made Qi Tianxiang have to stop, and waited for a moment before continuing: "Putting aside the factor of political propaganda, can the people of a region pay so much for the cause of a group and make such a big sacrifice, can they also see the kindness and beauty in the traditional culture of this region, and these are also the wealth that should be studied and inherited?" ”
"From the perspective of the regional division and regional culture of Hehai Province, the Huayi region is neither an area where culture originates and flourishes, that is, a place where saints are indoctrinated, nor is it a place where martial traditions flourish, and there has been a strong overlord country in history, let alone a coastal economically active area, where the influence of Western culture was first felt. This area is unknown, and even because of isolation and poverty, it has been ignored and forgotten by the mainstream society for a long time, but in such an area, it is surging with endless enthusiasm and vigorous spiritual appeal, which cannot but arouse our attention, attention and research. Qi Tianxiang communicated with his classmates with emotion, and said sincerely: "It is this area that has paid great sacrifices and spiritual wealth, but it is still forgotten by us, or it has not attracted enough attention, just like what Tian Dongping introduced himself to just now, the old poverty state has not fundamentally changed, and new contradictions and problems have emerged, and they are more severe and more urgent. ”
Qi Tianxiang clearly reported Tian Dongping's name, which immediately caused an uproar in the classroom, and many eyes looked at Tian Dongping's location with envy, but more attention was still looking at Qi Tianxiang with admiration. Being able to be remembered by the governor and said it accurately is an enviable and jealous thing in itself, but more students are still approachable to Qi Tianxiang and have an affinity without an official frame, which makes these students feel refreshed and cordial and admired.
"The weak economic foundation and difficult transportation, production, and living conditions in the old areas have greatly restricted the development and progress of society in the old areas, and even more restricted the improvement of the lives of the masses in the old areas, and even in a certain sense, they are still very unsatisfactory. In particular, there is a lot of shortage in terms of compulsory education and teachers, especially under the guidelines of merging townships and schools, it is more difficult for rural children to receive education, and there are fewer opportunities to get quality education. Qi Tianxiang's expression became grim, and he looked at his classmates with a solemn expression and said: "In addition to the factors of natural conditions, are there other deviations in the appearance of these problems?" Compared with the current hardship, the difficulties of the people in the old area a few years ago were more serious, but they were able to burst out with exuberant and selfless enthusiasm, but they were willing to sacrifice and dedicate. Can any student tell me what are the reasons for the hollowing out of rural areas and the problems and contradictions of rural education? ”
With the heaviness of the topic, many students felt the change in Qi Tianxiang's mood, and the questions raised by Qi Tianxiang were very sharp, and they could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Many students also know that although these questions are discussed on a regular basis, it is still a bit hasty to form a systematic opinion and answer the governor's questions. The classroom fell into a cold silence for a while, no one answered Qi Tianxiang's questions, and even the whispering stopped, all quietly waiting for Qi Tianxiang's explanation.
Qi Tianxiang felt the heaviness of the atmosphere in the classroom, and knew that his question was too serious, but he didn't want to ignore the past lightly, so he eased his tone, looked at the position Tian Dongping had done, and said gently: "It can be seen that this question is beyond the scope of many students' thinking, or they haven't seriously thought about it." This is easy to do, let's ask Tian Dongping to answer this question! He comes from the countryside and has paid attention to the living conditions in the countryside, so he should have some right to speak. ”
Catering to Qi Tianxiang's proposal, there was a burst of restlessness in the classroom, accompanied by a burst of applause, which made Tian Dongping, who was already a little nervous and cramped, even more at a loss. Standing up, he looked at Qi Tianxiang uneasily, and then looked around at his classmates, his white face seemed to be covered with a red cloth, and he kept holding the glasses on his face, as if the glasses made him uncomfortable. This caused the surrounding classmates to laugh kindly, and also brought him more panic, and it took a long time before he gradually regained his composure, biting his lip gently, thinking about how to answer Qi Tianxiang's question.
"I come from the rural area of Huayi old area, I grew up in the depths of the mountains since I was a child, and I have a certain understanding of the living conditions of rural poverty, but I also always feel the harmony of the neighbors and villagers helping each other. Tian Dongping gradually calmed down, and said seriously and full of feelings: "In me, the reality of the hollowing out of the countryside is fully reflected, my parents are the first batch of migrant workers to leave their hometown to work in the city, and now they are still working hard in Beijing, and my younger brother and I have been placed in the countryside since childhood, and we grew up under the care of my grandparents and fellow villagers." ”
Speaking of the things he was familiar with, Tian Dongping seemed much more natural, looked at Qi Tianxiang frankly, and then looked at the classmates around him, and said firmly: "I rarely said these things before, except for the better classmates in the same dormitory and class, I rarely talked about my family in the four years of college, not because I didn't have the opportunity to say it, but because I had low self-esteem and didn't want to mention my past." It can be said that during my childhood and adolescence, I rarely saw my parents, let alone lived together. ”
"My parents left home to work when I was very young, first at a construction site, my father worked as a construction worker, my mother cooked for the big guys, and then opened a small restaurant next to the construction site. But because of the opening of the restaurant, my parents, who used to go home for the Spring Festival every year, rarely came back. Tian Dongping's face was as calm as possible, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, but his eyes could not hide the disappointment and pain in his heart, and then said: "My grandparents and my brother and I depend on each other, although our parents are busy working outside all the year round, but it is difficult for us to get their financial support, even if the money we get back, it is also for the construction of a new house." Our family is the first family in the village to build a two-story house, but our life is the most difficult in the village, grandparents are old, and their health is not good, and many things at home are done with the help of the aunts and aunts in the village. I grew up cooking and doing farm work, and after I left the village in junior high school, my younger brother was doing the housework and farm work. This continued until I graduated from high school and my younger brother went to high school, and that year my grandparents passed away one after another, and the family was left with only the magnificent two-story building. ”
Speaking of the departure of his grandparents, Tian Dongping's eyes had something crystalline, but he quickly covered it up, looked at Qi Tianxiang and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry for delaying everyone's time, I will talk about family affairs endlessly." ”
Qi Tianxiang felt the impatience of his classmates, but he still met Tian Dongping's apologetic gaze, and said with a gentle smile: "It's okay, we are very interested in listening to you talk about your past, just like you said yourself just now, because you rarely talk about your past because of inferiority, and now you have the courage to face the hardships and sufferings of the past, which is a kind of spiritual purification and transcendence in itself, and we should applaud this progress." ”
As he spoke, Qi Tianxiang took the lead in applauding, which led to the unanimous applause of everyone in the classroom, and also gave Tian Dongping great encouragement, and couldn't help but bow deeply to Qi Tianxiang and everyone, and said gratefully: "Since I went to high school, I haven't asked for a penny from my family, and all the tuition and living expenses are earned by me doing odd jobs." I wash dishes in restaurants and work on construction sites to save as much money as possible. Even in college, I chose a normal major that did not have to pay tuition, and I usually served as a tutor for several children, teaching during winter and summer vacations, and at the same time, in response to the call, it was still a monthly subsidy of 1,000 yuan, so I finished college. ”
Tian Dongping said, adding apologetically: "Thinking about my motivation for teaching, I am really ashamed, other students are selfless dedication and intelligence, but I am for money." ”
