Chapter 262: Keep up the good work

readx; "It's going on outside [***], and it's taboo for everyone to see outsiders, is it appropriate for us to go now?"

These days, it's really hard to find a girlfriend. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info thought that Zheng Xiaolan, an orphan, didn't have so much red tape, but she didn't expect to give up her job at the Air Force General Hospital of the Military Region, and she couldn't clarify the relationship after coming to the Longjiang Air Force Hospital with her.

In Zheng Xiaolan's words, if it were not for the approval of her Uncle Tian, who returned from the United States, Uncle Li, who is currently a member of the Standing Committee of the Hulin County Party Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Uncle Chen, chairman of Jiangtian Group, the two would have no choice but to return to the road and the bridge.

All this made Yang Jie ridiculous, but fortunately, Chen Dong of Jiangtian Group and Secretary Li of the Hulin County Political and Legal Committee were very talkative, and after simply asking about their family situation, they said that young people make their own decisions about their own affairs. Of course, this does not mean that they are indifferent to Xiaolan's lifelong events, but they have a side warning, which makes Yang Jie sweat profusely.

The first two hurdles have been crossed, and now only Professor Tian of Jiangcheng University, who has never met before, remains. But whether it is appropriate to visit at this time when the whole people are fighting [***], Yang Jie is still a little uneasy. After all, [***] is too terrible, and he and Xiaolan are both doctors who deal with patients every day, so it is not appropriate to go now.

Without waiting for Xiaolan, who was packing the gifts, to speak, Yu Xiaomei, the eldest sister of Longjiang Air Force Hospital, who had just taken over as the head nurse, turned around and smiled proudly: "My brother-in-law is not an outsider, he is not only Lanzi's uncle, but also the old director of our hospital." He can do it if he says it's okay, and if he says no, then it's really not good. Yangzi, you kid really want to hug the beauty, so show something. ”

Although it is said that the iron grinding plate is a flowing soldier, but only four years have passed, and the personnel of the Air Force Hospital have not changed much, and Yang Xiaoguang is still serving as a deputy regiment-level political commissar.

It is a big deal for Yu Xiaomei to take Zheng Xiaolan and Yang Jie, who have just been separated, to Jiangcheng, not to mention that she still went to see her former comrade-in-arms Tian Wenjian, no, as soon as she got to work, she came to the head nurse's office and saw off the three people who were about to leave.

Seeing that Xiao Chili relied on the old and sold the old to raise the newcomer, Yang Xiaoguang couldn't help but smile and asked: "Less, don't patronize Xiao Yang, you are also the boss, when will this person's problem be implemented?" ”

The reason why Yu Xiaomei's personal problems have not been solved is that others don't know, but Zheng Xiaolan, a good sister, still knows it. In fact, in the past four years, she has not talked to anyone, and no matter who she faces, she can't help but compare others with Tian Wenjian. If you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods, and this gap will come out, and it will always break up unhappily and end up without a problem.

This kind of thing that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, Zheng Xiaolan was anxious in her eyes, and because of this, she pestered Xiao Pepper and asked her to accompany her to Jiangcheng. After all, the bell must be tied to the bell, and I hope that Uncle Tian, who has not only obtained a doctorate in philosophy, but also has some research in psychology, will help Pepper untie this knot.

"Political commissar, why don't you open which pot to mention? Sister Xiaomei has a high vision, and if she doesn't find a suitable one for a while, you don't have to worry about it. Seeing Xiaomei's fleeting and lost expression, Xiaolan hurriedly put down the gift in her hand and started casually haha.

Yang Jie, who got the hint from his lover, also turned around, pointed to the wall clock on the wall, and said with a smile: "Political commissar, the time is almost up, we are leaving." You can rest assured that we will be able to return to the team on time before 5 p.m. tomorrow and will never delay our work. ”

"Be careful on the road and remember to wear a mask."

Yang Xiaoguang nodded with satisfaction, then patted Xiao Pepper's arm, and said in a gentle voice: "Less, give me a message to your brother-in-law, so that he has time to come back and see." Tell him...... Lao Jiang and I are going to change jobs, and we won't be able to see each other again if we don't come back. ”

"Okay, I'll bring it."

In the army, academic qualifications are as important as military age. Don't look at Yu Xiaomei, who has been in the army for nearly seven years, but her military rank is the same as Zheng Xiaolan, who has just officially joined the work, she is a lieutenant. Yang Jie is a typical nerd, who studied at the Military Medical University for eight years. His master's degree in clinical medicine has also become the person with the highest degree in Longjiang Air Force Hospital except for the members of the expert group. The military rank is naturally one level higher than that of the second daughter, and she is a captain officer.

Three women in one play, two women get together, and they won't be lonely along the way. You and I said a word, and my eyebrows fluttered to introduce him to Dr. Tian Da's "glorious deeds".

There were many topics, and the road was short, and before I knew it, the bus arrived in Jiangcheng. Xiao Na, who received the call yesterday, was waiting outside the exit of the bus station early, and saw Xiao Pepper walking out in a straight military uniform, Xiao Na jumped up excitedly, hugged her tightly and exclaimed: "Xiao Mei, you miss me to death." ”

"Sister, I miss you too."

After four years of separation, Xiao Pepper couldn't help but leave two lines of crystal clear tears, while Zheng Xiaolan bit her lip tightly and stood quietly to the side, tears in her eyes flowing.

Seeing the surrounding passengers looking at this side in unison, Xiao Na quickly let go of her arm, took out a tissue, and helped her gently wipe her tears, while choking up and saying, "Silly girl, don't cry." It is a good thing to be reunited after a long absence, and you should be happy. ”

Pepper pouted, pointed to her swollen eyes, and muttered, "You're not the same." ”

"Can we both be the same? You are an officer, be aware of the influence. ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Na turned around, took Xiao Lan's hands, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "Our Lan Zi has become a lieutenant officer, and this military uniform is ...... True spirit! ”

Looking at her extremely embarrassed appearance, Xiao Pepper reacted, and immediately covered her mouth and chuckled: "Lanzi, let's each hand our own, just call Sister Xiao Na as I want." ”

Although he is of the same age, Tian Wenjian is an uncle who has a great kindness to him. It stands to reason that when you see Cortana, you should call an aunt or aunt. But Xiao Pepper is a sister who is like a brother, not to mention that Xiao Na is so young, so calling it will not only mess up the generations, but also call Xiao Na old.

Xiao Lan, who really didn't know what to call her, simply nodded and said embarrassedly, "Sister Xiao Na is good." ”

"Okay, okay."

Cortana nodded, then leaned into her ear, looked at the shy captain officer behind her, and asked knowingly, "Lanzi, who is this?" ”

Zheng Xiaolan was so embarrassed that her face was red, and she even became a little cramped in her breathing, and she groaned for a while before she whispered in a mosquito-like voice: "Yang Jie, the same school and the same school when I was in college, is also my current colleague. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Without waiting for Yang Jie to say hello, Xiao Na couldn't help but quip.

Xiao Pepper Le, laughing and trembling, pushed Yang Jie forward suddenly, and said with a smile: "Lanzi's matter, my brother-in-law can be half the master." My brother-in-law's affairs, my sister is the master of everything. Yang Zi, what are you doing stupidly? It's not called yet. ”

"Sister Xiaona, I am Yang Jie, Lanzi's comrade-in-arms, and I am very happy to meet you."

The young man looks very energetic, and besides, he is a captain and officer, so he should not be far behind. Xiao Na nodded with satisfaction, shook his right hand lightly, and smiled meaningfully: "Captain Yang, my sister has no relatives, and we are far away, please care more about this life and work." ”

In the hospital, Yang Jie is the backbone of the business. On the training ground, Yang Jie is a training pacesetter. But in the face of a big beauty like Cortana, she couldn't speak. Looking at his scratching appearance, Xiao Pepper hurriedly grabbed her arm and said with a smile: "Sister, it's not a problem for Yang Jie to care about Lanzi, but it also needs to get the approval of your family."

"What age! Returning the life of his parents, the words of the matchmaker? Xiao Na was happy, and while leading everyone to the bus stop, she smiled and said: "Lanzi, make your own decisions about your own affairs, I don't think your uncle will have any opinions." ”

Xiaolan held her arm and smiled without saying a word, while Xiao Pepper pointed to the bus in front of her and said with a smile: "Sister, why did you cross over and fall back?" Actually let us take the bus. ”

"What's wrong with the bus? If it weren't for picking you up, I wouldn't even be on the bus. ”

"And what kind of car are you riding?"

"Ride a bike! It's safe and you can exercise, how nice. ”

"Where's my brother-in-law?"

"It's the same, one for each of us, I'm used to it."

In Little Pepper's mind, Dr. Tian Da is the master of smoking well, drinking good wine, and driving a good car. I didn't expect that in the past four years, the lifestyle has changed so much. Looking at her suspicious look, Cortana confirmed, "Really, I really didn't lie to you. Not only does your brother-in-law stop driving, but he has even quit smoking. Now that he is not an official, he doesn't have so much entertainment, and he rarely drinks alcohol, so he has finally changed his ways. ”

Little Pepper was happy and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Sister, I have to admit that your tutor is really good." Everyone burst into laughter, and even Yang Jie's uneasy mood when he came was swept away.

"Sister Xiaona, where is my uncle? How is he now? As soon as she climbed on the bus, Elaine Cheng finally asked the question she wanted to ask the most.

Patronizing and joking, he forgot to apologize to the three of them by Dai Tian Wenjian, Xiao Na reacted, and said with a wry smile: "Originally, he was going to pick you up, but today there is an open class, and I really can't get out." But don't worry, he'll be back when he's done. ”

"Open class?" Little Pepper, who has never been to college, couldn't help but ask.

Cortana nodded and said with a smile: "It's a big class that students from other departments and colleges go to listen to, and there are thousands of people." ”

I haven't seen him for four years, and when he gets out of class, he doesn't know what time it will be, and after weighing it, Pepper pulled Xiao Na's arm and asked cautiously, "Sister, can we also listen?" ”

"What's so nice about giving a lecture to the students, and not a concert?"

"Sister, I want to hear it too." Zheng Xiaolan pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled.

The next station is Jiangda, and there is no problem to join in the excitement along the way, just go home together. Despite this, Xiao Na still didn't say yes, but turned around and asked, "Captain Yang, what do you see?" ”

Yang Jie didn't think about it, so he blurted out: "I'm also very interested in philosophy, and I can't ask for this opportunity." ”

"Okay, then let's get off at Jiangda."

………………………… The teacher took it for granted that he could teach thousands of people in the auditorium, but Tian Wenjian was not interested. Because as soon as the lights are fon, the serious podium becomes a big stage, and the students below can't even see clearly, let alone interact.

But this class is very important to him, and if he succeeds, he will be able to teach his classmates in his own way in the future, without having to follow the textbook like other teachers and teach things that even he hates to the extreme. Because of this, Associate Professor Tian, who was full of ambition, still made a compromise.

In a sense, this open class is an attempt to reform the teaching of the Department of Philosophy of Jiang University. After watching the video of Tian Wenjian's last class, he not only agreed to Director Chen's request, but also asked some teachers and professors to come to audit.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the auditorium was crowded, and even the corridors were blocked, and more than 3,000 teachers and students whispered to each other while looking forward to Tian Wenjian's appearance.

There is no place below, and in desperation, Cortana can only lead Pepper and others to the backstage. I found a few chairs from the staff who debugged the sound and sat on the right side of the podium to enjoy the demeanor of Associate Professor Tian.

"Bang!" "Bang! "Bang! A few rows of spotlights on the top lit up. Suddenly, the lights on the podium were bright, and the projections of the pulpit were being played in real time on the huge screens on both sides. The staff adjusted the microphone again, and when everything was ready, they signaled Director Chen and Tian Wenjian, who were sitting in the first row, to start.

Like the class four days ago, Tian Wenjian still didn't need to be introduced, but went straight to the podium and said straight to the point: "In the last class, we discussed the morality of killing. Today, let's discuss the proper surname of saving people. When I was a child, I was often asked an ethical dilemma: Your wife and your mother both fell into the river, who do you save first? ”

This is Professor Tian's style, and the students who have listened to his last class or watched the video of the last class immediately burst into laughter. Even Xiao Pepper and Zheng Xiaolan, who were sitting on the side, showed knowing smiles.

"It's a tough question, but I still need everyone's involvement." Tian Wenjian smiled, and while looking around at the audience, he said with a pun: "If you choose to save your mother, please raise your hand, of course, the classmates whose girlfriends are present can remain silent." ”

A dilemma but interesting topic attracted everyone's attention at once, Tian Wenjian's unique opening remarks made Principal Su, who rushed to listen in his busy schedule, nodded with satisfaction.

The atmosphere in the auditorium was lively, but few people raised their hands. This doesn't mean that students don't want to participate in the discussion, but it's that the question is too tricky for you to choose.

"If you choose to save your wife, please raise your hand."

Seeing that there were still few people raising their hands, Tian Wenjian spread his hands, with a depressed expression, and said with a wry smile: "Neither save your wife, nor save your mother, do you just watch them all drown?" ”

The school leaders and department leaders are here, this is a good opportunity to be in the limelight, Liu Wenwen, who was unconventional once yesterday, saw that no one raised his hand, immediately stood up and shouted: "Professor Tian, if I have to make a choice, I choose to save my wife." ”

"Please tell me your reasoning."

The teaching assistants scattered under the podium hurriedly squeezed over and handed over the wireless microphones that had been prepared earlier. Liu Wenwen, who has become the focus, pondered for a moment and said eloquently: "Because the mother has completed childbirth, the sons have grown up, and its social value has weakened. In addition, he is older and closer to death, so I think that the meaning of saving my mother is not as great as saving my wife. ”

The students in the Department of Philosophy are fine, while the students in other departments feel like they have been empowered. The heart said: Damn! It's really standing high and seeing far, this is the realm!

"Very courageous answer, really courageous."

Tian Wenjian smiled, motioned for him to sit down, and continued: "This classmate gave a reason to save his wife, if everyone disagrees, then can I default to you choosing the latter, saving your mother instead of saving your wife?" ”

As he spoke, hundreds of more people raised their right hands. More people participated, Tian Wenjian nodded with satisfaction, and after signaling everyone to put down their right hands, he asked with a smile: "Next, please choose the classmate who saved my mother, tell me his reason, did you volunteer?" ”

"Blood is thicker than water, and I think it is immoral to ignore the affection of flesh and blood, and save my wife but not my mother." A tall and beautiful female classmate took the microphone from the teaching assistant's hand and said quite embarrassedly.

Tian Wenjian nodded, and said meaningfully: "Family affection is more important than love, a very good answer, are there any different opinions?" ”

What is ironic is that a handsome male classmate suddenly stood up and said loudly: "No matter who I save, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life." If I had to choose, I wouldn't save either of them, but sink with them. Everyone, including Principal Su, burst into laughter. Little Pepper on the right side of the podium leaned back and laughed even more.

"A creative answer, but it seems to avoid the topic we discussed."

Tian Wenjian turned around and motioned for him to sit down, while talking eloquently: "The principle of the first classmate is undoubtedly moral utilitarianism. You may criticize in the most drastic way, thinking that in that system of judgment, people are no longer human, feelings have no value, and people have become machines for social labor. will think that this perverted way of interpretation is in fact tantamount to giving up the right to be a human being.

But in fact, everyone, including me, has followed this principle in other cases. For example, the explicit provision in the traffic law that risk avoidance is light, should we consider it immoral? You must know that this is the flip board to save the wife but not the mother, and there is no essential difference between the two......"

In the next half hour or so, Tian Wenjian gave the most benign exposition of utilitarianism, libertarianism, egalitarian liberalism, and Kant's doctrine of universal human rights. Although his arguments eventually led to criticism of these theories, this was after the fullest defense of them.

This kind of fairness of "favoring one over the other" overlays the tradition that the truth is always exclusive, and there is always "life and death" between each other, which has opened the eyes of nearly 3,000 teachers and students.

“…… The list goes on endlessly. If 'life is precious', are we willing to reduce our top speed by a quarter or even a half in order to reduce the rate of casualties in a car accident on the highway? If people can do whatever they want as long as they don't hurt others? ”

Just when everyone listened with relish, Tian Wenjian leaned on the podium and solemnly summed up: "Every concept seems to have its truth, but it may not lead to relativism. It simply reminds us that it is not necessarily just the "good and evil" that constitute conflict in this world, and that one "good" and the other "good" can also constitute tensions.

There are often trade-offs between rights and welfare, between "categorical imperatives" and "human nature", between equality and efficiency, between freedom and security. We can argue for what is more reasonable or appropriate according to our own ideas, but if someone tells us that there is a choice that has no cost, then perhaps we need to be vigilant.

Over the past 100 years or so, there have been too many ideas in China, from constitutionalists to revolutionaries, from retro to Westernization, from nationalism to nationalism, from market fundamentalism to open-boiled omnipotence. After being bruised all over our bodies, I hope we can show a little hesitation before the next charge, thank you! ”

It's over, and it's over without realizing it! There was silence in the auditorium for a moment, and suddenly there was a burst of applause that lasted for a long time. All the school leaders and department leaders, including President Su, stood up in unison like the students, stepped forward one by one, shook hands with the dry-mouthed Tian Wenjian, and congratulated him on the success of the class.

"The story at the beginning is quite exciting, and the rest of the discussion is also very successful, yes, really good."

As soon as President Su's words fell, Vice President Wang interjected, patted Tian Wenjian's arm, and said with a smile: "It seems that everything from the boundary of freedom of speech to the ethics of the AA system at the dinner table can be reflected on in a philosophical sense." The ideas of Aristotle, Kant, Marx, Rawls, and Nozick are no longer conceptual games of schools, but flashlights that illuminate real life. ”

"Thank you, thank you, leaders. In fact, everyone understands these truths, but no one has tried to say them in this way. ”

Principal Su's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "In a two-hour speech, I definitely can't do it without looking at the lecture notes and without a certain theoretical foundation." Director Chen, I think the department should reduce Professor Tian's regular teaching tasks, so that he can have enough time and energy to conduct research, and strive to come up with a set of high-quality quality courses. In terms of funding...... It should also be taken into account that this is an opportunity for our Department of Philosophy of Jiang University to turn over the battle, and it is necessary to arouse sufficient attention from the Party Committee of the Department. ”
