Chapter 72: Mission (Second Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
As the temperature dropped, Incheon, which had been in full swing all day long, finally began to be idle -- cement could not be used in winter, so that most of the construction projects were stopped, but the construction work stopped, but the construction projects such as road construction and sewer excavation were still going on, and thousands of workers in the special zone did not stay idle, but transferred to the Inhan railway construction site to participate in the railway construction project.
However, the departure of the construction workers still calmed down the Incheon Special District, and there are only a few places that are as lively as in the past, and the Chung Hwa School is one of them, unlike the Dong-A College of Letters, which is larger and of course the students are younger, and 99% of its students are young beggars from the country, but here, they are Chung Hwa School students.
The special identity and experience of the students made this school a little special from the beginning, for example, in this school, there are no holidays, even the so-called weekends, the students still need physical training, classroom learning and two hours of military training a day, and what is here is always just learning and training.
A month ago, when the first group of young beggars from China came to Incheon, they received simple military training in the barracks, and when they entered the school, their life in the school was also barracks-like, in this school they not only need to receive comprehensive military training, but also will be the first students of this era to receive modern elementary education.
This school is different from any other school, with forced moral indoctrination and harsh physical and mental training, the ultimate goal is to make these children and young masters form a brave, tenacious, obedient, and disciplined character, but how to forge this noble character? That's proper physical punishment.
"Ah......h
Early morning. It's almost when I just woke up. Li Xinyu heard the roar coming from the playground. Listening to the shouts that seemed to be competing with something, she pulled the curtain of the dormitory and looked out, and then saw thousands of children and teenagers in the playground wearing only shorts, wiping their bodies with cold water, while more students were howling and pouring a basin of cold water over their heads, and the cold water always let out a howl when the cold water hit her.
Looking at the snowflakes falling in the air, Li Xinyu even felt cold for these children in her heart. Despite this, she has no power to stop this qiē,
In this fully enclosed school, students sleep in simple three-tiered beds with a straw mat, a sheet and a quilt, and fortunately the school dormitory is heated, but the "grinding" of showering in the snow goes on every day.
Not only that, but even along with the daily food. It will also be restricted according to age and height, from Li Xinyu's point of view. Student life here can be described as hard, and there are all kinds of disciplines to follow, and similarly, there are clear hierarchies, in the dormitory, in the class, and even between batches, and for the superiors, there is always only obedience.
"Really, that guy is really ruthless......"
Thinking of this, Li Xinyu was naturally dissatisfied with the principal, but she was only a "little" English teacher, perhaps by luck, on the day she got off the boat, she easily found a job in this school, and with her fluent English, French and German, she easily got a job as an English teacher - the only female teacher in the school.
However, as the only female teacher, she can only live in the maid's dormitory, and unlike those North Korean maids, the special treatment is that she has her own dormitory, and when she comes to this school, she realizes that this school is different.
"Ah......h
The moment the cold water was poured on his body, the biting cold made Tian Liang howl and pick up the hair and rub it on his body with his hands, and then quickly wiped the cold water on his body with a towel.
"Fast, fast, fast......"
On the other side, the first-term students urged loudly, and the teenagers who had just finished taking a cold shower endured the biting cold, gritted their teeth and rushed to the runway, and began to run along the playground, regardless of the weather of minus two or three degrees, running shirtless on the playground.
For this qiē, both Chinese and foreign teachers in the school have long been accustomed to it, and in the eyes of those "Mandarin" teachers in China, perhaps this is the embodiment of "the great responsibility of heaven is entrusted to the Si people, they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and empty their bodies", and for the Western teachers in the school, this is the Spartan education that is highly respected in Europe.
Next to the blackboard, there are several wall charts, and Western teachers wearing glasses are teaching geography in stiff Chinese.
“…… The Eiffel Tower stands on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France, and was completed in 1889, that is, last year, the 324-meter-high Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in the world......"
More than 100 students listened attentively to the lectures of Mr. Actor, an ordinary Frenchman who came to China more than ten years ago and taught geography in several church schools, and his words were always very appealing, especially for these children, who could learn about the famous places of the world through Guò Acco's classes.
Looking at the students who were listening attentively, Ecdot continued.
"There was no country on the earth as "France", and more than 2,000 years ago there was what we call the "French" today, there was ancient Paris. However, at that time, Paris was only a small fishing village on the Île de la Cité in the middle of the Seine, and the owner of the island was the "Parisians" of the ancient Gallic tribe. In the first century BC, the Romans began to settle here and gradually developed it into a city called "Lydez" (French for "swamp"). In the 4th century, the city was named "Paris" in honor of its earliest owner. ”
In today's class, I studied Western geography, and Tian Liang, who was sitting in the last row of the class, listened attentively, occasionally writing a few words with chalk on the small blackboard on his desk.
In class, the small blackboard and chalk on the table are used to practice writing and writing, and only when the exam is held, test tickets will be issued, and as for the textbooks, only the three lessons of "Bahasa Kuo", "Arithmetic" and "Civics" have textbooks, such as "English", "Nature" and "Geography", only the wall chart of the teacher's class.
However, for Tian Liang, he doesn't like geography very much, because he feels that geography is too far away from him, after all, most of what he learns in this class is Western geography, just like this Mr. Ector will talk about the Danube River in class, but he can't talk about the Yangtze River, but the knowledge about the universe, the earth and the human race can also attract him.
Acktor's shrewd eyes glanced over the students, and noticing that some of them seemed to be a little distracted, so he said:
"You may think that I am talking about Western geography in class, but my students, have you ever wondered why I am talking about Western geography? And not the East, that is, the geography of China? ……”
Tian Liang, who had been writing on the small blackboard the "Shi" chapter he had learned in the "Citizen" class, was immediately interested, yes, why not talk about China's geography? He looked up at the gentleman, waiting for his answer.
"Actually, it's very simple, I only have a Western geography wall map in my hand, China's vast territory, the Forbidden City where the emperor lives in Beijing, the Great Wall north of Beijing, and the Grand Canal, and countless places of interest, but it has never been compiled as a teaching wall map, so, students, you may be learning the geography of the West now, but through the study here, you can learn the knowledge of the universe, the characteristics of the earth, the seven continents and the four oceans, the main mountains and rivers of the West, and the customs and customs of the West, etc. But when you become an adult, you can go all over the land of China, re-measure the land of China with modern geographical knowledge, and compile a wall map of China's geography teaching. ”
Ector's explanation immediately caused hundreds of students in the classroom to scream and look excited.
And Hector continued to speak in an accentuated tone.
"In this special school, because of your special circumstances, you will always despise yourself, but you forget it, how lucky you are, you are the first batch of students in China to really receive modern education, Eastern civilization may have its own strengths, but Western science is far ahead of the East, and this is what modern education can teach you, now, maybe you are just students, but what about ten years from now?"
In front of these students of different ages, they may now receive only the same education as the first grade students in France, but in Actor's view, this is the place where the hope of the ancient empire of the East is born.
"Ten years from now, some of you will graduate from university, and at that time, you are very likely to become the pioneers of a certain field in this country, students, the backwardness of the East in modern science makes you have too many opportunities, not only to become a pioneer in a certain field of science, but even to influence the history of this country, maybe ten years later, you will undertake a mission that will have a huge and far-reaching impact on this country."
At this time, the students were dumbfounded, they never thought that they would have such a mission, but now the Westerner in front of them told them that their mission was so ......
At this moment, the bell rang for the end of class, looking at the students in front of him, after Exktor explained a few words about the students' reading homework, he left the classroom, leaving only the students in the classroom with strange expressions, including Tian Liang, almost everyone had some confusion and confusion in their eyes, are they really that important? (To be continued......)
