Chapter 1763: Puzzle
No matter how good China is, no matter how much it says, it is someone else's thing.
Obviously, what the majority of teachers and students present want to know more is Cui Zhengyuan's views on his country's national affairs.
"Executive Cui, thank you for explaining so many things that we don't know much about. As a popular activist, I wonder what you think about the state of our country? A girl who appeared to be the president of the student council stood up and asked questions on everyone's behalf.
Cui Zhengyuan accepted the question, but did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically: "What about you?" What do you think of the current situation? ”
Young students like to discuss state affairs, which is a common problem in all countries of the world. But it doesn't matter how impassioned you are in private, in today's live TV environment, no one dares to stand up rashly.
If what you say is too absurd, it will affect your future.
The scene was quiet for a while, and even Cui Zhengyuan felt a little unaccustomed.
At the same time, he also sighed in his heart, the current students have been influenced too much, and they have become much more sleek and cautious than their previous counterparts.
Since no one dared to stand up and answer, Cui Zhengyuan had no choice but to take over the conversation himself. "In my opinion, if there is one word to describe the current situation in our country, it is change."
The people below didn't dare to say it, but he didn't have that concern. "Whether you admit it or not, we in South Korea are not an influential power. In the turbulent international situation, in fact, our only choice is to go with the flow. The biggest turnaround may be to choose one of the directions. And this change, although it is the situation facing our country, but the factors that triggered it come from outside. ”
His words were very heavy, piercing people's hearts, making the atmosphere of the scene very depressing.
For a long time, South Koreans have been self-hypnotizing that their country is great.
But the actual situation is understood by Koreans who have gone out. South Korea is really nothing in the big world.
Not to mention the ability to guide the international situation, even the most basic international influence and popularity, is not as good as those media boast.
But after all, most Koreans have never gone out, and these teachers and students here are either advocates or recipients of such remarks.
It was in this state of understanding and self-hypnosis that Cui Zhengyuan nakedly tore off all the protective films, and the feeling of being exposed to the sun was really uncomfortable.
Cui Zhengyuan doesn't care about this, he wants to make these young students use it for him. To become his future Bingguo's help, it is necessary to pull their ideology onto their own tracks.
Choi Jung-won's ideas are downright realism, wrapped in a veneer of nationalism and patriotism. So if you want to be his helper, you can't be too idealistic and blind in style.
Unfortunately, the current South Koreans have been encouraged by public opinion and scholars with ulterior motives, and they do not recognize the proper place of their country and nation.
From the country's point of view, this is a very dangerous signal that will lead to great disasters in the future.
Just like North Korea during the First Sino-Japanese War, internal problems did not cause much alarm at first. Those who are self-righteous politicians. Whether it was Concubine Min or Dayuanjun, they all thought that they could solve it with their own strength.
As a result, an uprising of the Dongxue Party punctured their apparent decadence, and finally had to passively introduce foreign forces.
So these power-wrenching, self-righteous people in power. Foolishly, he did a trick to lure the wolf into the house, completely buried the sovereignty of North Korea, and laid the groundwork for the tragedy of the division of the country until now.
"Everyone is familiar with history books, and you should know it. We in Korea have survived in such a harsh environment that we have survived to this day. We don't have enough land under our feet, and we don't have abundant resources in our pockets. We are also very sparsely populated. Therefore, when facing a big country, it is often powerless. Under such circumstances, the people of the whole country can unite as one, and perhaps there is hope for a rise. Each holding different political views and ideas can only lead us to a dangerous precipice in the end. Cui Zhengyuan's eyes burned, and he finally fired.
And all those who heard these words were even more excited and shocked, and chewed on the meaning of it.
Since the advent of the idea of democracy, there has never been a time of unification in national affairs and social thought in Korea.
How can the idea of always being chaotic like a pot of porridge bring what kind of benefits to the country?
Literally, Choi Jung-won's words were definitely against the current democratic system, and they also detonated the boiling point of the students at once.
At that moment, a pioneer stepped forward. "Executive Cui, I don't agree with you. Each of us is a member of the national community, and as citizens, we have the right to pursue our own interests and express our opinions. If this is not done, what is the difference with a fascist dictatorship? ”
Looking at the impassioned students, Cui Zhengyuan's smile was like a spring breeze. He nodded and said to the student, "You're right, no matter what angle you look at, what you say is the truth." ”
This student mustered up the courage to stand up because Choi Jung-won's words questioning democracy really shocked his preconceived notions.
Since he stood up, then there was no turning back, so he had long been ready to defend his thoughts.
Who knew that Cui Zhengyuan did not debate with him, but agreed with his words. It's like a punch on cotton, not only is it not forced, but it almost flashes its waist.
Stunned, the student's expression was also flustered. "That'...... So why do you say that? ”
Instead of answering him directly, Choi Jung-won asked a question. "Now if you come to Seoul from Jeonnam, you can take the West Coast Highway or take a plane. However, it is very bumpy to take a car, and it is too expensive to take a plane, and the transportation volume of these two modes of transportation is very small, which is not conducive to the transportation of bulk goods between the two places. You say, how about we build a railway connecting Seoul to Jeonnam? Not only Jeonnam, but also Gyeongnam and Busan. In this way, the railway line will be able to connect the whole country in a circle, and the logistics speed will definitely be much faster. Is that good, you say? ”
This is a hypothetical proposition because there is a train from Seoul to Jeonnam. However, Cui Zhengyuan said that this is a problem, and students naturally have to think about the pros and cons.
After thinking about it again and again, he said uncertainly: "Very good." In this way, the flow of people between the West Coast will be accelerated. The speed and volume of transportation of goods will also be greatly improved, which is very beneficial to the construction of the economy. ”
Unexpectedly, Cui Zhengyuan shook his head and refuted his thoughts. "But I objected because I was a resident of the railway line. Building a railroad would take up my arable land and deprive me of my livelihood. The compensation given by the state is too small to cover my losses. ”
The students were also provoked to anger, and said a little bluntly: "The construction of this railway is a good thing for the benefit of the whole country, how can it be disregarded for the sake of personal interests?" ”
Cui Zhengyuan nodded again and said, "That's good, for the sake of the country." I put up with it. But there was still opposition, this time by a professor of history. The reason for his opposition was that the construction of the railway had to pass through an ancient ruin, which was a damage to history and culture. ”
"This ......" the student froze, not knowing how to refute it.
But he also has a helper, and the classmate next to him stood up and thought of an idea: "You can take a detour, so that you can not only protect the ancient relics, but also allow the railway to be built smoothly." Isn't it the best of both worlds? ”
Cui Zhengyuan was still calm and light, shook his head again and said: "No, this time there are people who oppose it, it is a railway construction company." If you take a detour. The amount of work will increase, exceed the budget, and the state will not subsidize it. And if you take a detour, the geology is not up to the mark. It is also necessary to dig through the tunnels, which increases the costs. What should I do? ”
Well, neither of them can help it. looked at each other, only to find the helplessness in each other's eyes.
The problems set by Cui Zhengyuan and the difficulties he talked about are all difficult things that will be encountered in real life. They are not government workers and have no specific work experience, so they naturally cannot come up with suitable solutions.
In fact, under the conditions set by Choi Zhengyuan, not to mention them, even the most experienced government has nothing to do under the current system.
Because the problem that Cui Zhengyuan hypothesized actually happened in reality. Not in South Korea, though, but in Italy.
In view of the increasing traffic congestion in Rome, the Roman government is preparing to build a subway to relieve the pressure of traffic.
Unexpectedly, this move that is beneficial to the people has been opposed by many parties.
Because the subway will pass next to the Colosseum, many people fear that the construction of the subway will loosen the foundations of the Colosseum and destroy this world-famous ruin.
As a result, because the opposition was too loud, the construction of this Huimin project still exists on paper today.
Thinking about the construction of the largest hydropower project in Chinese history, involving more than 300 cultural relics and monuments. The opposition was also great, but due to the difference in political systems, it was successfully implemented.
At that time, there were still a lot of so-called public . The intellectuals and elites were heartbroken, believing that this move was a human tragedy of cultural degradation and the severance of tradition, which caused a lot of public opinion in society.
But at that time, the state made the greatest efforts to protect these cultural relics and monuments, including the overall relocation, etc., to the point that even the number of a brick was numbered.
These methods and measures show that in the process of development and construction, the state has not neglected the protection of cultural relics, historic sites, and traditional culture, and has done the best they can.
In contrast, the construction of the hydropower project is imminent.
This is because the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are China's largest economic zones, accounting for more than 70 percent of the country's GDP.
Electricity is an indispensable energy source in modern industrial production, and the lack of electricity has reached the extent of affecting the country's development.
The development of the country determines the growth of the country's strength, and it also means the degree of economic prosperity. More specifically, it is already related to the development and growth of the country and the food and clothing of ordinary people.
Compared to these, are those ancient buildings really that important?
The inability of a country to develop means standing still. China has been standing still for thousands of years and was eventually defeated by the tiger. The cannon sound of the door hit the abyss.
Compared with such a painful experience, is it still unclear which is more important than the protection of cultural relics and the development of the country?
Because China's political system determines that leaders can choose a more favorable side of such a difficult problem, and firmly implement it, and finally turn it into a driving force for national development.
Under the so-called democratic system, crowds are boiling, one after another, and it is difficult to come up with a result in the end.
In the end, the country went round and round in circles, achieving nothing.
In today's era of chasing stars and chasing the moon, inefficiency is intolerable, let alone pulling each other back under the halo of "democracy".
In the past, everyone was immersed in the beautiful illusion of so-called democracy, and no one noticed that it was actually a difficult trap to solve.
Now, Cui Zhengyuan has completely shown its disadvantages through an ordinary example.
It depends on what kind of impact this impact will have in the end. (To be continued......)
