5. What Mencius said

Three days later, the school opened. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 There are more than 800 new students enrolled in the first phase of info, and due to the lack of teaching experience of the school's teachers, the principal will be able to teach this first class.

The first class was held in the movie hall, and more than 1,000 teachers and students from the Ziqiang Academy sat on the chairs in the movie hall to listen to the principal's lecture.

Principal Qian was in special spirits today, he was wearing a suit and leather shoes, a tie around his neck, and he walked up to the podium energetically with a briefcase, as if he had returned to the era of the Youyu Institute. However, the big difference is that at first glance, he looks much older.

He stepped up to the podium and did not speak immediately, but scanned the audience with both eyes, and after a pause, he said, "Hello teachers! Hello students! I feel honored to sit in the movie hall and listen to my lecture."

Before giving a lecture, I would like to say a few words to the students: I would like to extend a warm welcome to the students to come to the school. After he finished speaking, the movie hall burst into warm applause.

After the applause stopped, Principal Qian continued: "I am standing here, watching you all look up like flowers, all of you looking up at me lecturing, and my heart feels very happy. When the Ziqiang Institute was first built, some teachers said: Children are not easy to teach and lead.

I think they don't know how to take children, teaching children, taking children first of all to make friends with children, I and the age difference between the children is dozens of years, I can also be called your money grandfather, you are my children, I am single for half my life, no children and no daughters, but I like children very much, my teaching methods are different from other schools, in the classroom I allow the children to raise their hands to put forward their own different opinions and different views on the teaching content and teaching methods, which is called two-way communication. He paused here and then said, "Now for the main lesson." ”

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand to pick up the remote control on the lectern, he pressed the button on the remote control sideways, and a curtain was lowered above the podium, and Principal Qian pressed another button on the remote control, and the projector was cast on a beam of light on the screen.

The curtain immediately reveals a passage that Mencius had said. Mencius said: Shun is in the acre, Fu said that between the lifting and the plate,------------------ a hundred miles of Xi Ju is in the city.

Therefore, the heavens have a great responsibility for people,---------------------- and they can not benefit from it.

People are eternal, and then they can change -------------------- country permanently.

Then he was born in sorrow, and died in peace.

Principal Qian stood on the podium, he looked at the words on the curtain, turned around, and said to everyone, "Our first lesson began with this passage from Mencius. ”

Who knew that a little girl in the audience immediately raised her little hand, and when Principal Qian saw someone raising her hand, he immediately said: "If the little girl in the audience has any questions, she can stand up and speak." ”

The little girl stood up and said, "Grandpa Qian, my name is Hu Zhiyan, I can recite the words of Mencius that you are going to talk about today from beginning to end, and if you don't believe me, I will recite it to you." After she finished speaking, she recited this passage of Mencius from the beginning.

Principal Qian stood on the podium and listened to the little girl's recitation, waiting for her to finish reciting. Principal Qian asked, "How old are you this year?"

The little girl replied, "I'm nine years old!" and "Good, good! Principal Qian then said, "How can you remember this passage so clearly? ”

The little girl said, "This passage hangs on the wall in front of my father's library, and my father taught me to read it many times, so I remember it." ”

Principal Qian pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Can you truly understand the true meaning of the above paragraph?"

The little girl replied cheerfully, "I understand it, and I don't understand it!" Principal Qian asked, "Why is that?" The little girl said, "I understand the meaning of every word in the above paragraph, and my father has told me word by word." I was able to translate it into modern Chinese. ”

Principal Qian asked again: "Then what do you not understand?" The little girl said innocently: "What I don't understand is what Mencius said, the heavens give a great task to such a person, such a person must be bitter in his heart, tired in his bones, suffer from hunger, thin skin, and suffer from poverty, and this kind of person must be unsatisfactory in everything------。 ”
