1762 National Cohesion

PS: Thank you Dark Jockey for the tip!

Cui Zhengyuan also mentioned the topic of China's college entrance examination, saying: "In this year's Chinese college entrance examination, there is a very interesting phenomenon about history, that is, China's modern history occupies a lot of space. ”

Afraid that everyone would not understand the discipline of Chinese history, he also introduced: "According to the division of China, their modern history is bounded by the Opium War. Since then, until the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has been called China's modern history. ”

With that, everyone understands.

Even if you are not Chinese, you know the impact of the Opium Wars in East Asia.

It seems that the Opium War was only the beginning of China's humiliating history, but in fact, this war had a great influence on the whole of East Asia later.

Japan later invaded, annexed the Korean Peninsula, and used it as a springboard to start World War II, all because it saw China's weakness from the Opium War onwards.

Seeing that everyone understood, Cui Zhengyuan continued: "Everyone knows that China has a longer history and is a famous ancient civilization in the world. In China's long history, it has created a very splendid and brilliant civilization. According to our understanding, with such a long history, there are more remarkable highlights, and it is completely possible to let future generations understand the glory of their ancestors through guò education. But why did they focus on modern history, which is only more than 100 years old? ”

There was silence at the scene, and everyone was lost in thought.

This question makes everyone very confused, and they really can't understand why education in China is like this.

Cui Zhengyuan waited for a while, and after everyone began to think about it, he said with a smile: "Actually, not only everyone can't figure it out, but even the teachers in charge of teaching in China may not understand the reason." In their minds, maybe this part is the focus of the exam, so they just ask the students to study more. If you want to explore the deep meaning. We must raise the level from the perspective of the essence of education for the whole nation. ”

The meat show is coming!

This is everyone's idea, so everyone's mental concentration is better than just now. Everyone looked up at Cui Zhengyuan, waiting for his explanation.

Choi Jung-won is a radiant person in his own right, and his gaze is focused on making him look even more charming.

"You know what? There are only two peoples in the world whose education methods are different from those of other peoples. One is our neighbor China, and the other is the Jews. ”

The span of this topic is a bit large, and even the erudite and talented sons of heaven are a little confused, so they can't figure out why he put the Chinese nation and the Jewish nation together, and said that they are different from other peoples.

Cui Zhengyuan has made detailed preparations, so naturally he will not give up halfway. "Most of the nations in this world pass on the education of their descendants. Basically, it is mainly based on honors education. They will tell their descendants how great their nation is, what great deeds they have produced, and what kind of influence they have on the world. Now that our Korean education has such an ingredient, I wonder how you feel after learning these contents? ”

"Long live the Republic of Korea!" There was only a moment of silence, and then the crowd erupted into frenzied shouts.

Cui Zhengyuan nodded with a smile, no one knew what he meant.

"Yes, as part of the nation. Including me, after hearing about the heroic deeds of my ancestors, I felt my heart surging and I couldn't help myself. Be proud to belong to this nation. From now on, wherever I go, I will be proud of the Republic of Korea. Is it? ”

Of course, this was true, so the scene almost immediately turned into a patriotic presentation. The atmosphere was quite lively.

Choi Jung-won waited quietly until everyone's energy was almost exhausted, and he did not convey his opinion. "We in the Republic of Korea are like that. This is true for the United States, it is true for the United Kingdom, and it is true for many countries. But as I said earlier, only the Chinese nation and the Jewish people have different education methods from us. ”

He looked around at everyone and asked, "Do you know anything about the history of the Jews?" Do you know what kind of people it is? ”

The history of the Jewish people is very important in the world, whether it is the glorious Hebrew civilization, the genocide that followed, the countless Jewish celebrities, or the important position of this nation in the world economy.

But anyone who studies international history cannot ignore the Jewish people. Even if you are not a history major, under the guidance of today's media propaganda, you can tell many stories about the Jewish people.

Choi Jung-won opened the time tunnel and took everyone to relive the history of the Jews. "Ever since Jerusalem was conquered by the armies of the Roman Empire, the Jews have lost their homeland and have been wandering around the world for thousands of years. They are displaced, homeless, and attacked by indigenous peoples. A people does not have its own habitat, and the ethnic groups are distributed in different parts of the world. According to normal laws, it is easy to be assimilated by other ethnic groups and eventually disappear in the long river of history. But instead of disappearing, the Jews returned to their homeland after thousands of years of suffering, and had a small piece of land of their own. "Why is that?" you say? ”

He didn't expect everyone to answer either, and gave the answer himself. "The Jews, though scattered throughout the world, could not interact with each other. But everyone has not forgotten their own identity and homeland, and has firmly and persistently passed them on to their descendants. Wherever they wandered, the song of Jerusalem was heard. Moreover, there are too many tragic stories experienced by the Jews, which are also completely preserved by them and sued posterity. This made every Jew understand how difficult it was for his nation to survive. Therefore, the Jews today are always striving for the revival of their own nation. ”

This part of the tirade was agreed by everyone present.

In 1948, Israel was founded, but because of the fierce conflict with the Arab Palestinians who had settled in the area for a long time, it led to five wars in the Middle East.

In the face of the siege of many Arab countries, in order to defend its hard-won place of survival, Israel broke out with strong combat power and won victories in turn.

Who will understand the value of their homeland if they have never lost it? It's because I don't want to be displaced anymore. Facing the threat of death at any moment, the Jews' desire for strength was so intense.

After telling the story of the Jews, Cui Zhengyuan turned back to China. "The education method of the Chinese nation is actually similar to that of the Jews. Although they have achieved incomparably brilliant achievements, they are more willing to tell future generations about the misery they have suffered. This kind of education is called suffering education, which is completely opposite to the honor education pursued by most of our peoples. ”

"Executive Cui, is there any difference between the two education methods?" Shen Taifeng listened with relish, and hurriedly asked.

Cui Zhengyuan said a lot of things today. It was not mentioned in the past when the two communicated. Moreover, the novel point of view has benefited Shen Taifeng a lot, and his thirst for knowledge is even more urgent than that of the students.

Cui Zhengyuan knew everything, "A scholar commented like this, he said: Honor education can enhance national pride, but suffering education can enhance national cohesion. ”

"Because we know the greatness of our nation, we identify more with our national identity, so that we can live in the world with dignity, which is to enhance national pride. And understand the difficulty of the survival of the nation. Only through the difficulties of continuation and reproduction can we better understand the power of unity, so that all people of our nation can gather together and work hard for the survival and development of our nation. This is to strengthen national cohesion. ”

The audience applauded, accompanied by the excitement of the students to gain knowledge.

If we did not sit here and listen to the lecture today, who would have thought that the difference in education between nations would eventually produce such a big difference.

Cui Zhengyuan's voice was even more powerful in the applause. "Everyone knows that there are four major ancient civilizations in the world, namely the ancient Egyptian civilization, the ancient Babylonian civilization, the ancient Indian civilization and the ancient Chinese civilization. But the vicissitudes of life, the passage of time, and now it continues. But there is only Chinese civilization. The other three revered civilizations have disappeared into the long river of history. Among the later civilizations, among the ancient Roman civilization, the ancient Greek civilization, and the Hebrew civilization, only the Hipboran civilization has survived to this day. Among them, the national education methods of Chinese civilization and Hebrew civilization are different, which may allow us to see their strengths. ”

Many of the old professors present here became stern and deep-eyed, obviously not expecting such an education here.

They have always taken it as their responsibility to educate the nation, and they hope to lead the Republic of Korea to create a history far beyond its predecessors.

However, looking at it now, they have not even figured out the essence of national education, nor have they explored advanced and appropriate methods.

In recent years, with the growth of South Korea's economic power, and the proliferation of ideas advocating national supremacy.

Whenever it comes to issues and events at the national and ethnic levels, Koreans express themselves very strongly. Countless Chinese people gathered together, and the scale of the gathering became bigger and bigger.

And when it comes to other nations and countries, Koreans embody two extremes. Countries that are stronger than South Korea are extremely worshipped; is not as good as Korea's, and extremely contemptuous.

Many public figures have been doing theories to promote the supremacy of the nation, and step by step pushing the national self-esteem of the Chinese people to a pathological stage.

Looking back now, I find that Cui Zhengyuan's words have revealed the problems contained in them.

That is, on the issue of national education, there is not enough education for suffering, and it does not make the people realize that their country and nation are not so strong, and there are still all kinds of crises.

In order to ensure the survival and development of the nation, it is all the more necessary to work hard in a down-to-earth manner and in unity.

Thinking of it like a lot, many people of insight suddenly became awe-inspiring.

Because they suddenly discovered that in recent years, public opinion in South Korea has been full of impatience, dissatisfaction, and malice, and there are negative remarks about the country, society, and others.

In the past, they only thought that this was the result of rapid economic development and the consciousness of putting profit first in mind, leading the masses to become more selfish.

But now it seems that this is not the reason why the whole country and the nation lack the courage to face difficulties after the rapid development, because of the setbacks encountered, but only the reason why all the strength was spent on complaining and dissatisfied.

Although Cui Zhengyuan did not mention the slightest bit of China's development, his remarks have proved from one angle why China can develop so well.

No matter how splendid the history of the Chinese nation is, people today deeply remember the pain of more than 100 years.

In order not to suffer such humiliation again in the future, people today are more willing to bury their heads and work hard to build a strong country where future generations can live happily.

The Opium War, the burning of the Old Summer Palace, the Battle of Mawei, the Sino-Japanese War, the invasion of China by the Eight-Power Alliance, the foreign warships rampaging in the Yangtze River, the signage that Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter, the lease of land, and the reparations for land cession -- these qiē and qiē caused pain to the Chinese nation, the Chinese have not forgotten it.

Because they deeply remembered this wound, they worked hard to develop their determination far more than other peoples.

China's ability to have today is precisely a profound lesson from the past and the future.

No matter how difficult it is to prosper the country and educate people through suffering, South Korea lacks such a courage to self-analyze, so it can only survive in a precarious manner for thousands of years.

For the first time, many scholars and students began to face up to the problems of the country and the nation from the depths of their hearts, and pondered how to change the future of their country and the nation for the better.

And this qiē is the result of the young man on the stage, quoting scriptures and words.

At this moment, in the eyes of many people, he already has the brilliance of a wise man. (To be continued......)
