Chapter 17: A Hundred Years of Grievances

Suning doesn't know much about the grievances between No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School, but when he was at school, the teacher would treat No. 2 Middle School as an enemy, not only hostile to his face, but also very unfriendly in private. Students from No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School are even more common to get into fights.

It stands to reason that the top two provincial key high schools should not have large-scale fights and brawls, after all, everyone is a school with a face, and they should solve the problem in a more civilized way.

In fact, on the contrary, fights between middle school students and middle school students are commonplace, and various competitions and activities are also fought by the two schools.

Suning even heard that a student from No. 1 Middle School transferred to No. 2 Middle School, and was not only spurned and insulted by his former classmates, but also that the students of No. 2 Middle School did not let him go, punching and kicking him every day, and speaking ill of each other. In the end, his parents came to the school to find the teacher to report the problem, and all the teachers of the second middle school kept silent, and had no choice but to transfer to other provinces to study.

It can be seen that all the teachers of No. 1 and No. 2 Middle Schools have a relaxed attitude towards the fight between the students of the two schools.

But Suning really didn't expect that even the principal, when he mentioned the second middle school, he gritted his teeth, eager to drink his blood and eat his meat.

"Do you remember the school motto of No. 1 Middle School?" Principal Chen asked with a calm face.

"Apply what you've learned."

Principal Chen nodded, his face a little pale, "Then do you know the school motto of No. 2 Middle School?" ”

Suning shook his head.

"Learn to serve the country!" Principal Chen sneered, "The motto of No. 2 Middle School is to learn to serve the country. ”

Suning was silent, he didn't know why Principal Chen was sarcastic, isn't it a lofty ideal to learn to serve the country?

Principal Chen sneered, "Hmph...... The idea is good, the ideal is noble, but the reality is cruel, just ask! My life is gone, what to serve the country!! ”

President Chen slowly explained the origin of the grievances between the two schools.

"In the fourth year of the Republic of China, Mr. Huang Hewu founded Xingyuan School in this city, which means a spark and can set the prairie on fire, the purpose is to cultivate seeds for scholars and pass on the fire of Chinese civilization that was broken at that time."

"Applying what he has learned is the word that his old man mentioned, which has been used for many years and has been preserved to this day. As you guessed, the predecessor of our No. 1 Middle School was Xingyuan School. ”

Speaking of this, Principal Chen was full of pride, but the next second he became extremely angry.

"There is a white-eyed wolf, I don't know Huang Lao's hard work, he walked out of Xingyuan School, went to study in Russia, came back and scolded Huang Lao for being a traitor, not reading the popularity festival, in the eleventh year of the Republic of China in the same year, he founded Shanhua School, which means to return my rivers and mountains, restore my China, and write 'learn to serve the country' to show his enthusiasm."

"And this white-eyed wolf is the founder of No. 2 Middle School, Xia Wei."

"The grievances between the two schools, since the establishment of Shanhua School has not stopped, during the Anti-Japanese War, our school produced many generals, in order to protect the comrades who also fought to save the life, how many people were sacrificed. But they are never grateful, they only know how to serve the country with enthusiasm, and they only know Hu Lai, not only did they not save their surnames, but they also caused many heroes of the Anti-Japanese War in our school to sacrifice heroically! ”

Speaking of these, Principal Chen was furious, and his eyes were red!

"Ten years of turmoil, the teachers and students of Shanhua School forced 23 teachers and students of our school to death! Twenty-three lives are alive! There are countless people who have been driven insane. After the turmoil ended, the parties did not mention a word, and no one mentioned the 23 lives that were forced to die, how dare they do this, how can they do this!? ”

I have been guarding the school for half my life, the school has watched me grow up, slowly getting older, I have watched the school gradually prosper and grow, it stands to reason that I should let go of hatred and seek development together.

"But! Buried deep under the big locust tree in the school, 23 innocent souls will not agree! The heroic souls who paid with their lives for the childish and ridiculous actions of some people will not agree!! ”

As the principal of No. 1 Middle School, how can I let go of this hatred!? How can you put it down!! ”

At this time, President Chen was already in tears and couldn't cry.

Suning listened silently, a sense of belonging that he had never had before enveloped him, it was a kind of pride, pride in people and himself, and pride in heaven and earth!

The old man in front of him was unwilling to give up hatred, and he didn't dare to give up hatred, because he was afraid, he was afraid that after a hundred years, no one would be able to remember this past, he was afraid of the trembling of innocent souls, and the helpless crying of heroic spirits.

He doesn't seek fame, he doesn't seek profit, he just wants a breath in his chest!

A mouthful of the righteousness of the reader!

Life cannot be passed in vain, they cannot die in vain, this is a trampling on life!

Therefore, the old man chooses to pass on the hatred along with the culture, and at that time, there will always be people who will stand up to seek justice for the souls of the martyrs and comfort their souls in heaven.

In the room, Principal Chen's mood had returned to calm, and he waved his hand to let Suning gather at the school in three days, so he sat by the window, looked out the window, and drank himself one by one, looking peaceful and quiet.

Suning bowed respectfully and silently exited the door.

**********************************************

Qinglong Mountain is located in the northern suburbs of Z city, more than 20 kilometers away from the urban area, lush and green, the scenery is beautiful, the mountain is more than 800 meters high, it is the highest peak in Z city. I don't know when the top of Qinglong Mountain started, there is more than a Confucian Temple, the specific origin has no way to verify, only know that the incense continues every year, and there are many tourists.

On this day, a majestic old man knelt in front of the statue of Confucius, burned incense and bowed sincerely, looking at the old man's appearance, he was seven or eight points similar to Principal Chen.

Behind him, followed by three young men of sixteen or seventeen, two men and one on the left and one on the right, stood beside the girl. The boy on the left is tall and thin and wears glasses, and the boy on the right is short and stocky with curly hair. The girl in the middle is bright and moving, quiet and serene, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, which is very graceful.

After the old man bowed, the three of them stepped forward in turn, burned incense and bowed, but except for the girl, the other two teenagers were a little disapproving.

An old man and three young people went out of the temple, walked to the backyard, and suddenly opened up in front of them, and a panoramic view of Z city came into view.

"Do you know why I burn incense and worship the Buddha?" The old man spoke suddenly.

Everyone shook their heads, only the girl's eyes showed a hint of thought.

The old man keenly caught the girl's eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Chen Jing, come on."

I saw Chen Jing smile gracefully, shook her head, and said softly:

"I don't know why the principal burns incense and worships the Buddha, but I know that the principal you do this, there must be a reason for doing this, you want to tell us, naturally you will say, you don't want us to know, even if we guess, you won't admit it. Is that right? ”

The old man's serious face couldn't help but show a smile and nodded.

"Chen Jing, I have been teaching and educating people for more than 40 years, and you are not the smartest one, nor the most beautiful one, nor the most prominent one in your family. But, I'm sure, you're the most promising! ”

When the two teenagers next to him heard this, not only did they not show a look of envy and jealousy, but instead showed a look of disdain that you only know now, and their pride and pride were undoubtedly revealed.

Chen Jing smiled faintly and said nothing.

The old man no longer dwelled on the topic, and his stern eyes swept over the three teenagers, and although the three teenagers did not dare to look at him, they also stiffened up and did not take a step back.

Only then did the old man say with satisfaction:

"I burn incense and bow, I don't ask God, I don't worship Buddha, I ask for myself, I worship my heart. If the heart does not move, all evils will not invade, and if the heart is not frightened, everything can be expected. The heart is faith, you must have faith to be a man, and you must have faith, so that you can know what you should do and what you want to do, and you will not be confused by vanity and attracted by temptation. ”

The three teenagers seemed to understand whether they understood or not, Chen Jing seemed to have grasped something, and it seemed that there was nothing.

"What is our motto?"

"Learn to serve the country!!" The three of them answered loudly in unison!

The old man's face changed, and his murderous aura was revealed.

"Not bad! That's what we've always believed! The purpose of our study is to repay the country and society! is not like the group of hypocritical villains in No. 1 Middle School, who forgot what their surname was in order to make a little profit, and ignored the country in danger in order to survive!! ”

Speaking of this, his eyes burst out like fire.

"Apply what you've learned! Hum! Bullshit! The country is gone, what's the use of learning! Just to study abroad and be a grandson for the ghost guy?! Bah! A bunch of cowards who betray their country for glory! ”

"I burn incense and bow to my heart, worship is one word, loyalty! Loyal to the country, loyal to the school, loyal to the heart, filial piety and loyalty since ancient times, courtesy, righteousness and honesty, what he said is nothing more than a word, loyalty! Loyalty is great benevolence, great righteousness, great filial piety, great gift, great faith, is the great righteousness, the university asks! ”

The old man was impassioned, and his voice was high-pitched and majestic, full of world-piercing sharpness. The three teenagers' blood was boiling, and they were so stimulated by a deafening shout that they trembled, and their eyes were burning with a fighting spirit like fire.

The old man's voice gradually calmed down, he took a deep breath, looked around, and said slowly:

"The three of you are the best talents in our school, and you will also represent our school in this summer camp, and I have only one task for you! Don't lose to a high school! ”

The old man's voice suddenly raised.

"Never allow!"
