At 10 o'clock in the morning, amid the noise of gongs and drums and firecrackers, more than 2,000 teachers and students and democratic progressives from all walks of life poured into the school's large playground to attend the opening ceremony of the Northwest Associated University. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On behalf of the government of the border region, the commander first expressed a warm welcome to the teachers and students of the Northwest Associated University, and delivered a speech entitled "You are the sun at nine o'clock in the morning, and the future is yours" to all the teachers and students.

Subsequently, Mr. Ma Xulun, a well-known scholar in the cultural circles, a democratic progressive, former president of Peking University and the current president of Northwest Associated University, delivered a speech as a representative of the university, which also won a large number of applause.

In the end, Zhang Cheng, as the initiator, initiator and anti-Japanese hero of the Northwest Associated University, was driven to the shelves and asked to speak a few words for the teachers and students of the Northwest Associated University.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

As soon as Zhang Cheng stood on the podium, the teachers and students applauded warmly, and there were only two reasons for this, one was that Zhang Cheng looked good and had a very high appearance, and the second was his huge aura as an anti-Japanese hero.

"Leaders, guests, teachers and students, good morning! To be honest, I am standing on this podium at this time to speak to you, in fact, I am very worried in my heart, I am just a soldier, and I don't have much knowledge to teach you, and most of you have a cultural level above my Zhang Cheng, but everyone asks me to say a few words, and I can only catch the ducks on the shelves and come to show off my mouths......"

Zhang Cheng's speech is different from others, who are either impassioned, quoted from scriptures, or eloquent, but Zhang Cheng's speech is witty and interesting, as if he is the student's brother next door, which makes people feel more cordial. Such a speech was very novel, which made the students listen to it with relish, and warm applause rang out from time to time.

“…… As a soldier, I don't know much about education, but I have a little story about my party's deputy commander Zhou to share with you.

At the age of 12, Zhou Xiangyu left his hometown and came to the Northeast. At that time, Northeast China was the focus of contention among the imperialist powers in China. He got out of the car in Shenyang, and his uncle, who came to pick him up, pointed to a bustling and lively place, and said to him, 'Don't go to that place to play if it's okay!' ’

'Why?' Zhou Xiangyu asked puzzled.

'It's a foreign concession, and it's bad if you get into trouble, and there's nowhere to talk about it!' ’

Why? Zhou Xiangyu broke the casserole and asked to the end.

'Why?' China is sluggish! The uncle sighed and said nothing more.

Soon, Zhou Xiangyu entered Dongguan Model School to study. He never forgot what his uncle said when he picked him up, and often thought: 'What is the concession like?' Why can't Chinese go there while foreigners can live there? Isn't this the land of China......' A series of questions puzzled Zhou Xiangyu, and curiosity drove him to see for himself.

On a sunny Sunday, Zhou Xiangyu carried his uncle behind his back and asked a good classmate to break into the concession. Hey! This area is very different from other places: the streets are bustling with lights, and most of the streets are lined with yellow-haired, white-skinned, big-nosed foreigners and ostentatious patrolmen.

Just as Zhou Xiangyu and his classmates were looking around, they suddenly found a group of people around the front of the patrol police station, shouting loudly. They hurried over, and saw a ragged woman crying in the crowd, and a large foreigner standing triumphantly.

When asked, she found out that the woman's relatives had been run over by a foreigner's car, and she had hoped that the Chinese Patrol Police Bureau would support her and punish the foreigner. Who knew that the Chinese patrol police not only did not punish the foreigner who caused the accident, but reprimanded her. The Chinese onlookers clenched their fists. But in the foreign concessions, who would dare to do anything? Only the unfortunate woman can be admonished. At this time, Zhou Xiangyu really realized the meaning of his uncle's 'China is sluggish'.

After returning from the concession, the students often saw Zhou Xiangyu meditating alone, and no one knew what he was thinking. It wasn't until in a self-cultivation class that I listened to Zhou Xiangyu's speech and solved this mystery.

In the self-cultivation class that day, Principal Wei asked the students a question: 'May I ask why you study?' ’

The students answered enthusiastically. Some said, 'Study for fame and fortune.' Some said, 'Study to be an official.' Others said, 'Study to earn money.' ''Reading for Food'......

Zhou Xiangyu sat there quietly all the time, not rushing to speak. Principal Wei noticed, gestured to calm everyone down, and asked him to answer by name. He stood up and replied clearly and firmly: 'Study for the rise of China!' ’……”

When Zhang Cheng spit out the nine big characters of "Reading for the Rise of China" in his mouth, all the teachers and students suddenly boiled, and these nine big characters seemed to have magic power, deafening and strongly impacting people's hearts.

The commander was also shocked to hear this little story, as Deputy Commander Zhou's old partner who cooperated very well with his work, the commander also understood for the first time that there was a volcano-like passion hidden under Deputy Commander Zhou's forbearant and restrained appearance, and at the same time he had a deeper understanding of what this old partner did.

Zhang Cheng, who came to the front desk as a duck, did not expect that this little story about Deputy Commander Zhou would arouse a warm response from teachers and students, he just copied a primary school text he read in later generations, but he did not expect that the phrase "reading for the rise of China" would form such a strong resonance with contemporary teachers and students.

"Study for the Rise of China!"

"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

"Long live the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Party!"

"Long live Commander Mao!"

The opening ceremony of the Northwest Associated University soon ended with a series of slogans from teachers and students, and Zhang Cheng's little story about Deputy Commander Zhou's "reading for the rise of China" did not go away, touching the patriotic hearts of countless teenagers, making them devote themselves to intense cultural study with the noble sentiment of reading to save the country.

After the opening ceremony, Zhang Cheng and the commander and President Ma Xulun discussed how to run the Northwest Associated University in the president's office.

Zhang Cheng took the opportunity to propose that Northwest Associated University should open more professional courses on physics and chemistry, and build Northwest Associated University into a comprehensive university integrating literature, mathematics, physics, chemistry, law, industry, commerce, agriculture and medicine.

His reason is that when the students grow up, the Workers' and Peasants' Party should almost drive out the devils and unify the whole country, and more professional talents are needed to build the country, so the Northwest Associated University should open more majors, and if the teachers are not enough, foreign experts can be invited to give lectures at the government's expense.

After comprehensive consideration, the commander and President Ma Xulun agreed with Zhang Cheng's opinion, and later the Northwest Associated University became the leading comprehensive university in China after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
