Chapter 102, the most ordinary one
Canglong casually picked up the ideals of a few people, and then recounted a few historical figures, and told them some things in history, the students listened to it with relish, and most of the historical figures Canglong said were the characters involved in the lesson he was about to talk about.
Although not everyone can correspond to it, Canglong found some other characters who were related to those main characters in that era, and compared and discussed them with the students.
Until, when he suddenly saw one of the ideals, Canglong's face suddenly changed:
I don't know what ideals I have, but I know what my strengths are, Teacher Cang said that my strengths should be played, so I have been learning these knowledge outside of class, but I suddenly had questions, can our current ideals really be realized? Although the arrival of Mr. Cang has changed the way we look at things a lot, is he really right? Is it true that each of us can achieve our ideals?
Or is it just a small number of people who can achieve their dreams? Seeing so many unfair things in this society, I suddenly felt that I was born in this country, even if I worked hard, I had no future, I suddenly felt that my ideal was just a fantasy, and I suddenly felt so desperate, I was just the most ordinary one in the thousands of people, and even Mr. Cang didn't pay much attention to me, because I was very ordinary, what qualifications did I have to talk about ideals, and what qualifications did I have to talk about the future? Still, I decided to try to get by, at least not to disappoint a few people.
This is the original words written by the student, seeing this paragraph, Canglong suddenly had a feeling of being pricked by a needle in his heart, how desperate and mature it must be, to write such a sentence, he looked at the student, but found that he was lowering his head at this time, and did not realize that he was looking at him, as he said in the text, even if he has ideals, in this unfair society, can he really realize his ideals?
Under the influence of traditional culture, China's social environment has become extremely complex, in this society, even if you have the ability, you may not be able to get people's appreciation, but he is teaching students ideals, ambitions, for a while he really has some doubts, is what he is doing is really right?
However, soon the sorrow on his face disappeared again, and he did not need to dwell on the problem itself, because even he fell into it when he saw this ideal.
"Wang Ziwen." Canglong muttered this name in his heart, for other classes, most of the ** in Class Nine are not ordinary, because they all have all kinds of problems.
However, everyone has forgotten a problem, in fact, the students with these problems in Class 9 are the most ordinary, and the real problem students are not the problem students in Class 9, but those students who do not seem to be problems, but all the students in No. 1 Middle School, and they are the real problem students.
Because they uphold all the things of traditional concepts, the students of Class 9 are lucky, as this Wang Ziwen himself said, he is the most ordinary one in Class 9, and all the students in reality are almost ordinary, just the trend of traditional values, and finally make students with identity and background become extraordinary.
So it appeared, many students actually have an inferiority complex in their hearts, this inferiority complex stems from the fact that they are all ordinary, at this time Canglong suddenly didn't know how to read this ideal, because many of the nine classes are also the most ordinary.
The students suddenly found that Teacher Cang was silent as he spoke, so they all looked at him strangely, and it took a long time for Canglong to react, and he smiled helplessly, how should he answer Wang Ziwen's question?
At this moment, a word suddenly came to his mind, so he looked at the students and said, "In your eyes, what is a nobleman?" ”
"Aristocrats!" For a while, the entire ninth class was stunned, and I didn't know why Canglong asked about this.
"Yes, what is a nobleman." Canglong asked very clearly.
Although the students were puzzled, they still answered one by one according to their own psychological thoughts, the nobles in Yun Feiyang's eyes tended to be ancient, those high-ranking officials and nobles, the nobles in Wei Dongkui's eyes, were rich and powerful, and the nobles in the eyes of Hu Ping'an and Ye Qiu were privileged people.
As for Yi Xiaochuan, they also agreed with this point of view, so after some discussion, everyone unanimously felt that nobles were privileged people.
"Do you want to be a nobleman?" Canglong looked at everyone.
For a while, the entire ninth class was cold, and no one answered, because if they answered yes, they would definitely be scolded, and if they answered no, they would definitely be said to pretend to be 13.
Seeing this, Canglong seemed to understand something, and then said: "Even if you answer, whether you answer yes or no, this is just a subject. ”
"Subject?" Students, you look at me, I look at you, this topic is too tricky.
"I want to be that kind of people, isn't that why I'm studying so hard for those things?" Surprisingly, it was Yi Xiaochuan who spoke first.
If it weren't for Canglong glaring at them, it is estimated that many people would scold him, but then Zuo Yu also spoke: "In my eyes, there is no nobleman who is not noble, it's just that the living environment is different and the level is different, but it can't be said that people with a good standard of living are noble." ”
Zuo Yu's words are about the left and right, but it is in her heart, because from beginning to end, she has never discriminated against any students in Class 9.
But there are still people who think that Zuo Yu is pretending to be 13, and the reason is naturally very simple, because everyone knows what the situation of Zuo Yu's family is, standing in this position, of course he can say this, because the person who has no privilege is not him.
At this time, with the aggravation of the problem and contradiction, the whole class was divided into two factions, one faction was Zuo Yu and Yun Feiyang, who had a good family environment, and the other was Tang Long and Wang Jiao, whose family environment was not very good, and Wang Jiao and Tang Long's faction always occupied the majority, whether it was in Class 9, or in society, or in a certain period of history.
After letting them discuss it on their own, Canglong will definitely quarrel with them, and in the end, they will even cause cracks in the class that has already been run-in because of this problem.
However, he did not oppose either faction, because the traditional concept told them that the poor could only change their fate by studying hard, while the rich could only continue to maintain their privileges by stabilizing their current position and constantly oppressing the poor.
"Would you like to hear a story from me?" Canglong suddenly interrupted their discussion.
Everyone looked at Teacher Cang, they originally wanted to say something, but they all quieted down, and now Canglong will be disgusted by the other faction no matter which faction he supports, but Canglong's words are the most convincing, and the students of both factions want Canglong to support themselves in order to prove that their views are right.
Nowadays, many wealthy people in China send their children to aristocratic schools in England, hoping that they will become aristocrats after graduation, but they find that even the students of Eton College, the best aristocratic school in England, sleep on hard beds, eat coarse tea and light meals, and undergo very strict training every day. Even more bitter than the students of civilian schools. They could not figure out what these ascetic lives had to do with the aristocracy. Canglong said, looking at everyone, "They can't understand, so can you tell me why?" ”
Finding that most people's faces were incredible, Tang Long blurted out: "They are making money from Chinese, because those rich people in China are stupid." ”
"They don't look down on the Chinese at all because they think the Chinese are nouveau riche." Hu Ping'an said, "But if I have the opportunity, I am still willing to be an upstart." ”
The students talked a lot, and there were all kinds of understandings, but Canglong raised his hand, and when they were quiet, he said: "You are all wrong, that's because the traditional values are different, the nobility in the eyes of the British is not just rich, and the aristocratic spirit advocated by the West is not the spirit of the outbreak, it is opposed to the spirit of different commoners, and it does not mean that it is pampered." Leisurely and luxurious life, but a kind of honor, responsibility, courage, self-discipline and a series of values as the core of the pioneer spirit, this is the British understanding of the aristocracy, but also the exercise of morality, no moral character of the person even if he is rich, he is not called the aristocracy, but called the nouveau riche. ”
"But is it true that the British are good for each of them, and that each has no privileges?" Ye Qiu suddenly asked rhetorically.
Hearing this, Canglong shook his head: "The British are traditional, naturally have privileges, and they naturally have nouveau riche, but on the contrary to us, they are only a minority, and we occupy a few, and the nobility in the eyes of most people in Britain is not a material nobility, but closer to the spiritual nobility, so they still maintain this tradition, and still maintain the title of feudal society." ”
The students of both factions stopped talking, and Cang Long looked at them and continued: "But the aristocratic life that most Chinese understand now is to live in villas, buy Bentley cars, play golf, that is, spend money like dirt, spend all day and wine, and call people to come and go." Actually, this is not the spirit of the aristocracy, this is the spirit of the nouveau riche. In our Chinese concept, aristocratic schools should enjoy aristocratic conditions and have an aristocratic life, which is the worst thing that our traditional concept has left us. ”
After saying this, Wei Dongkui suddenly lowered his head, and Tang Long and the others also looked pensive, if these words were said by someone else, they would definitely refute it, but this time it was Teacher Cang who said it, they didn't know how to refute it, did they refute him instilling Western culture in themselves?
"If you want to think that I am instilling Western values in you, then I will admit it, but what I want to say is that in traditional Chinese culture, there are actually such values, but they have all been abandoned by us, so that until now, we are living according to this concept of nouveau riche." Canglong said and picked up the ideal written by Wang Ziwen, and then said, "Wang Ziwen, are you satisfied with this answer?" ”
"Hmm!" Wang Ziwen's face was not good, but he didn't know what Canglong said to him, so he said, "However, I think I am still the most ordinary one, this is China, not Britain." ”
