Chapter 873
The morning sun is rising, and history is turning over a new day.
The Confederation's National Day has come to an end in the early hours of the morning, but the Confederation's celebration of the National Day is not over, and there are a series of events throughout the Confederation today to celebrate this grand day.
The same is true of Bagua City, where tens of thousands of young people from the Federation who had just finished participating in the National Day parade yesterday gathered in an orderly manner in the central square early this morning.
Today's central square has been cleaned, and in the middle of the central square, under Li Lan's statue, a high platform has been erected, and tens of thousands of seats are placed in front of the high platform.
The federal teenagers who entered the square sat down in their chairs in turn, and by eight o'clock in the morning, the square was full. These tens of thousands of young people were all outstanding special recruits of the Somali Federal Institutions of Higher Education last year, and each of them is the focus of the federal education system and the pillar of the Federation's future talents.
Although they are still only students, in the future they will become soldiers, doctors, lawyers, civil servants, teachers, scientists, engineers, ...... and become top talents in their respective industries.
Every year, on the second day of the National Day, Li Lan personally meets with these future federal talents. Over the past six years, the number of young people who have come to the meeting has increased from tens of thousands to 50,000 or 60,000, and has increased by almost 10,000 every year.
So far, Li Lan has met with 200,000 future talents, and among these 200,000 people, some have graduated from institutions of higher learning or are doing internships at work.
This year, the number of young talents is nearly 60,000, and Li Lan also placed the meeting place in the central square for the first time. This is also the guide zhì, the people who came here to watch. Occupy the entire square, if it were not for the security forces pulling out the barrier and establishing a safe distance. I'm afraid these onlookers will stay close to these teenagers.
Many reporters also came here, and in the past, Li Lan's meetings with teenagers were held at the Children's Palace in Bagua City. It is not open to the public, only Somali state television has released a simple video with a brief introduction.
For the first time, the event was held in broad daylight, and reporters naturally couldn't resist their curiosity, because there was no official arrangement, and many reporters took up their positions here early.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the Praetorian guards lined up from the gate of the base, and the security forces that maintained the security of the square immediately sorted out a passage to the center of the square, and the Praetorian Guards lined up neatly on both sides of the passage. And the barrier was pulled apart.
At ten o'clock at eight, Li Lan led Lin Meiqi out of the gate of the base and walked onto the passage pulled out by the guards.
The crowd of onlookers on both sides of the passage waved their arms at Li Lan and Lin Meiqi excitedly, shouting the honorific titles of the two, and Li Lan and Lin Meiqi also slowed down and waved to the crowd on both sides.
In just about a thousand meters, the two walked for twenty minutes. Only then did I walk to the center of the square and see the teenagers sitting neatly in front of the podium.
"I'm so proud to stand in front of you, this time of year. It is also the time when I am most gratified that the foundation of the education nation, the future of the federation is created by a new generation of young people. We were late in this area, but the results were very good.
Who said we were lazy. Will only receive alms? Who says that if we don't want to forge ahead, we will only hand over the future to an illusory fate? Who said we have no power to create a zΓ o. Reduced to the bottom of the world? Who said that we will only become vassals, become vassals of others? β¦β¦
From now on, each of you will rightly tell the world that we have our own civilization, strive to forge ahead, create our own future, and no longer fall into the lower echelons of the world, but have a sky of our own. β
Holding Lin Meiqi's hand and facing the countless gathered eyes, Li Lan said loudly: "You have different skin colors, different beliefs, different truths, different career goals, and different development goals. But you have one thing in common, and that is your inner feelings, and you share the same ideals and goals, and you are studying hard for the future of the Federation.
Every one of you is my student, there are seniors in front of you and juniors in the back, and it is this uninterrupted cultural inheritance that gives us the courage to tell the world that Africa is on the rise. And we will pass on this spirit of knowledge forever, so that we can still have the sky of our own life in the countless years of time in the future. β
"As we stand here today, we prove that some of the things are happening in this country, and you, as the youth of a great country that is on the rise, I hope that you, young boys and girls, will absorb the good qualities that you should have, and abandon the shortcomings that should not be in the country, and work together to achieve our great aspirations.
We yearn for a country where there are no classes, a country where everyone is equal, and we will not allow any class views to exist in our hearts, and we will see a strong country standing tall in the world, and we will be respected by all nations.
You must always tell yourselves that you want the people to be patriotic, that you want to achieve this, that we ask the people to love peace, and that you must strengthen yourself to show our extraordinary courage, so you must love peace and ...... at the same time."
At this point, the whole square erupted in huge cheers at the same time, and tens of thousands of young men and women raised their arms at the same time, towards the podium in the middle of the square, and shouted in unison: "Long live the president, long live the great nation......
On the podium, listening to the tsunami-like shouts of the mountains, Li Lan was also excited, and he felt the feelings of tens of thousands of young people at the scene, and the shouts for half a minute did not subside, he stretched out his hands, and the square was instantly silent, and tens of thousands of people closed their voices at the same time, bringing a neat shock, which made countless onlookers shake.
On the podium, Li Lan continued: "...... To temper your own courage, we ask the people to refuse to be weak and to be strong, so you must exercise your youth, become a warrior who cannot be defeated by any difficulty, and exercise iron willpower and tenacious body. You must learn to be self-sacrificing and never fail.
I believe that the qiΔ we create today, the qiΔ we do, may be forgotten by future generations, but our will will never die, and the spirit will live on forever. When we no longer raise the flags we have pulled up from nothing, you will hold them tightly in your hands!
There is nothing we can do to separate us, for you are our flesh and blood! The minds that occupy our hearts and minds are also burning in your young minds. With our efforts, we will always unite to support the country today.
The nation is in our hearts! The country is in our hearts! The future is in our hearts! β
"Now I need you to sue me, are you willing to contribute a few qiΔ, even your lives, to this country?" Letting go of Lin Meiqi's hand, Li Lan waved her arm and asked loudly.
"Willing, willing......" responded to Li Lan with a sonorous and forceful answer.
Feeling the surging power brought by the shock in his heart, Li Lan was also full of pride, and in the face of countless pairs of fanatical eyes, he even felt that all the difficulties in front of him were nothing.
Although the immature faces in front of him are not as good as the Red Police Corps, these people are not products of the base, and they do not have the innate belief in obedience to him. A sense of accomplishment comes naturally.
At the end of the ten-minute speech, Li Lan took Lin Meiqi off the podium, met with the representatives of these students, and agreed to their request for a group photo.
The meeting came to an end, and Li Lan and Lin Meiqi returned to the base.
"I really envy these children, carefree and a little naΓ―ve." Lin Meiqi said with a little envy: "I still remember that at the opening ceremony of the Somali University at that time, those eyes full of intellectual curiosity were exactly the same as these people now." Now, those students have also achieved their careers, and some of them are mayors, and time flies so fast. β
"They're all good boys? All I can give is a good learning environment, and I need to rely on their own efforts in the future. Li Lan smiled slightly and said.
"I really don't know what kind of magic you have, I've lived here for so long, why I don't feel strange, as if I still live in China." Lin Meiqi sighed.
"Because of my greatest leader of all time." Li Lan raised her eyebrows and made a very great appearance.
gave Li Lan a big roll of the eyes, and Lin Meiqi was about to refute casually, but when the words came to her mouth, she seemed to think of something, so she took it back and changed her words: "Are you preparing for war?" β
"How do you know?" The insolence on his face instantly receded, and Li Lan asked rhetorically.
"When you were in the middle of your promiscuous last night, Ling Liang sued me." Lin Meiqi raised her eyebrows.
"Not bad." Li Lan nodded, her face did not change because of Lin Meiqi's words, as if she hadn't heard the first half of the sentence, and continued: "I will go to the Middle East in a few days, and the time may be relatively long. β
"Is it anything to do with the war?" Maggie Lin asked.
"I can't say it now, there are too many people in this world who want me to die, and your husband has no way out." Li Lan hugged Lin Meiqi and said affectionately: "It may not be calm in the next few years." β
Just when the two of them were affectionate, the porcelain doll-like Sally ran into the hall and shouted to Li Lan and Lin Meiqi with a cry: "Mom, Dad, my brother is bullying me again." β
Lin Meiqi immediately broke free from Li Lan's arms and walked over to comfort: "Sally is good, don't cry, what's the matter?" β
"Godmother, brother, brother, he ......" With a crying voice, the rather slim Sally pouted: "He lifted my skirt again." β
Li Lan and Lin Meiqi glanced at each other, and at the same time had a black line in their heads, embarrassed!
