Chapter 50: I Have a Dream
With the first class being an instant hit, Feng Zhou made a name for himself at Nankai University.
"Have you heard? That visiting professor of the Faculty of Letters, although he is less than twenty years old, has real talent and real learning!"
"I heard about it too, but it's a pity I didn't listen to it that day. ”
Next week's elective course, he will lecture on the rise of great powers: Britain, analyzing how the British Empire developed from various angles, and thinking about his understanding of British political culture, he must have a unique insight. ”
"If that's the case, I'll go back and see it. ”
"Me too. ”
......
In the midst of the students' discussions, many professors and lecturers also gathered together to discuss Feng Zhou's "why Hermione can't marry Harry".
"I didn't expect this professor Feng Ziheng to have some skills, it seems that President Zhang has invited a great talent. ”
"It's just a family's words, at most it's a bit refreshing, it's not a big talent!"
One of the professors sneered.
Although Xiao Zhang has been to the UK, how can his talent be compared with Mr. Xu Zhimo, and it is normal to be refuted by an overseas Chinese in the United States. ”
The other laughed.
"If you want me to say, he may have come to the conclusion from the mouth of the United States, and he was just moved here, at most he is a second-class dealer. Didn't he say that Harry Potter was the one he heard from the woman named Rowling?"
"That's right, he listened to other people's stories, and listened to other people's analysis, and went to Nankai to give a speech, maybe it was just picking up people's teeth. ”
"It makes sense, he is an overseas Chinese in the United States, and he has never been to the UK, where did he get the ability to analyze the political culture of the British across the Atlantic?"
"Hmph! Maybe it's really as you say, it's just a person who confuses the truth with the false, and the indiscriminate filler, this class has made him foolish, and in the future class, sooner or later he will show his stuff and show his true face. ”
"I think so too, imagine that he returned to China thousands of miles to practice what gossip palm mandarin duck legs or something, if he has the ability to write a book, why didn't he write it early?
One person asserted categorically.
The others listened and nodded.
There was also a sneer in my heart.
When Liang Shuming became a professor, he was twenty-four years old, and he was already young, which attracted a lot of criticism at the beginning.
And Feng Zhou was only eighteen years old, less than twenty years old, he was hired as a university professor, and the first class was unexpectedly full, and he also failed to argue with a young teacher.
This situation inevitably aroused everyone's doubts.
Although the students were convinced, the old professors were accustomed to the wind and rain, and they never believed that an overseas Chinese from the United States who followed the martial arts to practice boxing could actually study the political culture of Britain and write such a popular novel.
Who knows what's hidden inside.
With the doubts of these professors and teachers, many people also began to wonder.
But in any case, the name of Feng Zhou has completely become famous in Nankai and has begun to spread to some universities in Beiping.
At the same time, with the help of Feng Zhou's first class, the martial arts club he established was soon completed, and the training classroom was quickly knocked on the position, and the door number was also formulated, which was called "Nankai Samurai Fitness Association".
Feng Zhou paid for the people, Nankai University provided the venue, and the students voluntarily signed up, and Feng Zhou was taught by Liang Cai.
And with the help of his reputation, when the Nankai Samurai Fitness Club recruited students, hundreds of students actually signed up.
Chen Zhiyuan was temporarily arrested by him as an assistant to register the students, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw so many people at this time.
"Everyone take your time and register one by one. ”
He couldn't help but shout again and again.
When the students came to the training room, they saw that Feng Zhou was already standing on the high platform at this time, wearing a Zhongshan suit from the Republic of China, dressed tightly, and looked even more handsome and chic.
Many people who had not seen the boat whispered.
"Wow, Professor Feng is really young!"
"yes, a man who wrote Harry Potter, I thought was a weathered middle-aged man. ”
......
The number of people gradually increased. Someone had the audacity to shout: "Professor Feng, can you give a speech in the next class of 'The Rise of Great Powers in the UK'?"
"Professor Feng, are you really just going back to China just to learn Baguazhang?"
"Professor Feng, I also went to see the elective course that day, do you have any research on other countries besides the UK?"
"Professor Feng, do you have any other works besides Harry Potter?"
"Professor Feng......"
Feng Zhou watched the voices of people rise and fall, and the people who asked questions were endless, although his face was still indifferent, he was very satisfied in his heart.
An excellent piece of literature, although it is national, must also be global.
Although "Harry Potter" is rooted in the United Kingdom, it is very attractive in terms of writing and storytelling.
In this era, most of the people who can afford to go to college are rich people, who don't have the calculation of three meals a day, and are very eager for the spiritual world, so they are very sought after by writers.
Feng Zhou casually gave a few autographs, and the enthusiasm of the others did not diminish in the slightest, and all kinds of questions made him unable to answer them at all.
At this time, a student saw this and shouted loudly: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, let Professor Feng say a few words." ”
"Yes, yes, all be quiet, listen to Professor Feng!"
Feng Zhou saw that the students were getting more and more lively, and knew that it was not a matter for them to continue arguing, so he took a step forward and said:
"Thanks to everyone's love, I am grateful. ”
"I heard someone ask me just now if my next lesson, 'The Rise of Great Powers, UK', can go smoothly, and I can tell you responsibly, of course. ”
"Speaking of which, my research on Britain began with listening to Ms. Rowling tell me the story of 'Harry Potter', and since then, I have been going into the library every day, reading all kinds of books in the UK, and then reading books from other countries one after another, to discover the logic behind the rise of these countries. ”
"I returned thousands of miles to China, learning boxing is only the first purpose, the real purpose is to work hard for the rise of China. to find the direction of the rise of our country. ”
"In my elective course, I will analyze in detail the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the United States, Russia, Japan, as well as the former great powers Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands, these nine countries have risen in the past few hundred years and dominated the world. ”
"Before I give a lecture, I will not ask you to make any requests, but after I finish those courses, I hope that you will practice, to find a path suitable for China's rise, and I hope that one day in the future, China will be strong, and you will all be the pillars of it. ”
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
There was a wave of applause from the audience.
In fact, what Feng Zhou said was just empty words, and if it was a weathered old fox, they might pout secretly.
But at this moment, it was the students who listened to him, all of them emotional and high-spirited. Someone shouted, "Okay, that's a good point! Professor Feng, please say a few more words." ”
Feng Zhou sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't expect the students' emotions to be so high, and if he didn't say anything, he was afraid that such a martial arts club would not be able to open.
"Today is the opening day of the Nankai Samurai Fitness Association, and it stands to reason that we should talk more about boxing and martial arts, but when it comes to the rise of the country, then I will say a few words at the end.
A thousand years ago, we had the most splendid civilization in the world, but a thousand years later, we must face up to the tragic fact that China is lagging behind the rest of the world.
Since the late Qing Dynasty, the great powers have knocked on the door of our country with strong ships and cannons, we have been defeated again and again, the government has signed traitorous treaties again and again, and the dream of the Celestial Empire has finally been shattered. But we must not be arrogant, we must be self-confident and self-reliant, not inferior and cowardly, we must work hard, not gloomy......
I have a dream.
I dream of a day when the valleys will rise and the mountains will fall, and the bumpy and winding road will become a smooth road, and the holy light will be revealed and the world will be full.
That's what we're dreaming about. With this belief in mind, I traveled thousands of miles back home. With this dream, we will be able to carve a stone of hope from the Ridge of Despair. With this belief, we will be able to transform the cacophony of this country into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.
I have a dream.
We dream of a day when each of us will have a strong and healthy body, a civilized and wise mind, our books, operas, and music that will be praised in every corner of the world, the ships we build that will be unimpeded in every seaport in the world, and the cars we build that will run on every highway in the world.
We started the martial arts club today because I have a dream, that is, I hope that one day, we will be strong, and let the word 'gongfu' enter the vocabulary of English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, etc., so that those foreigners with high noses and deep eyes will shout "gongfu" when they see us!
I have a dream that every Chinese person should have a strong body, and build high-rise buildings, factories, and schools in every province, every prefecture, county, and every village in my country.
I have a dream. That is, the reunification of the country, the unity of the nation, and the strength of China, for this dream, we will have to work together, study together, work together, and sacrifice together. Because I know that one day, our dreams will come true.
At that time, foreign strongmen will come to China just to perform a show and please the Chinese audience, and the eyes they look at us will be full of awe and envy.
I have a dream ......"
Feng Zhou was actually reciting and adapting at the beginning, but as he spoke, he unconsciously burst into tears, and with crying in his loud words, he moved himself.
Everyone present listened to him silently, looking forward to the day when his dream would come true, and the day when China would become strong, and they were fascinated and teary-eyed.
