Chapter 423: Don't Forget This Heart, Remember the Mission (2-in-1 Grand Chapter)
The reporters recorded President Liu's speech.
They may not understand Principal Liu's feelings and impulses, but it does not prevent them from feeling the risks that need to be taken behind this choice, and the huge pressure that comes with it.
If nothing else, did the school committee of Fengming No. 1 Middle School agree with him doing this? Surely not. This is equivalent to taking the reputation of the entire No. 1 High School to make a big gamble.
If Shi Tiexin finally becomes a great athlete who is famous in the world, then all the unfair treatment he encounters at this time will become a legendary aura that will shroud him on another day. At that time, Principal Liu will also be recorded by history as the hardest, straightest, and most capable urine person.
But what if Shi Tiexin is nothing in the end?
Now it seems that Shi Tiexin is a genius and a supernova, but who can say in the future?
However, the Governor of Jinling, who was sitting in the most important position in the audience and was smiling and watching everything, seemed to have full confidence in Principal Liu and gave him a lot of support.
At half past ten, President Liu finished his speech, and things began to get to the point.
The music sounded, the applause rang out, the cheers rang out, and Shi Tiexin was invited from the backstage to the front desk. When Shi Tiexin stood in the middle of the stage, the students raised their arms and shouted in unison, and the entire auditorium was full of warm applause. These applause can send people to the clouds in an instant, making people flutter and not know the south, south, north, west.
But Shi Tiexin was not fluttering.
Instead, he looked around, his gaze deeper.
"Next, I invite Shi Tiexin to speak, everyone is welcome!" Principal Liu solemnly handed the microphone to Shi Tiexin, as if conveying some kind of heavy belief.
Shi Tiexin took the microphone and stood proudly.
His gaze looked at the two-story stands, and looked at Fang Qingjue, Ling Xingjian, Zhou Nan, Zhou Xiong, and Liu Shufeng. His gaze met all the unrecognized, familiar and unfamiliar classmates, and in silence, everyone's cheers fell silent.
The auditorium was silent, and everyone waited for Shi Tiexin to speak.
And this speech is also Shi Tiexin's request to President Liu.
He hopes to be able to give a speech at the commendation ceremony.
Principal Liu agreed.
"Classmates." Shi Tiexin spoke, his voice calm and powerful: "Today is a rare opportunity. President Liu just asked me to say a few words, and I also think that I do have something I want to talk to you about. β
"I believe everyone knows about the recent turmoil. The World Records Committee did not accept the application, and a whirlpool of suspicion and public opinion followed. An elder told me not to take it to heart and to keep working hard to become a great athlete and win respect for Donghua Guo. β
The students, the teachers, including all the reporters, thought he would say something thankful and thankful for that and stepped down. But they were wrong, Shi Tiexin did not shy away from it, and directly stated the topic, and even did not mean to avoid sensitive topics at all.
The students straightened their backs and listened attentively.
"I'd like to say here that I really didn't really take the slightest bit of turmoil to heart."
"Doubt me, no problem, let them come and see for themselves and pick on the thorns. Ignore me, it doesn't matter, one day I'll go to them and make them have to face me. β
"I really don't pay attention to these things. Because I can run so fast, if I don't accept it, I'll come to compare. β
The students began to cheer loudly.
But Shi Tiexin lowered his voice with a calm gaze: "However, I still want to say to the elder who enlightened me, I'm sorry, just like I won't become a sports student, I won't become a professional athlete." β
The audience suddenly fell silent, and then there was a small commotion.
Principal Liu in the audience was also stunned.
He thought that Shi Tiexin would take out his words of encouragement to the other party and say it again to encourage all his classmates.
Unexpectedly, Shi Tiexin was not this routine at all.
The governor, who was sitting next to him, also snorted through his nose to show surprise.
What's the matter, is it possible to retire now? The reporters felt that they were about to feel a sharp turn again, and they were all engrossed in staring at Shi Tiexin, ready to record every word he said next.
Shi Tiexin was not nervous, stood on the stage and said: "That elder said that the fundamental reason for the turmoil this time is that he is not confident. But what is the reason for the lack of self-confidence? The people of Donghua have gradually become rich, can afford to eat hamburgers, drive foreign cars, and watch television, so why do people in Western countries still look down on us like that? β
"There's only one reason."
"Our Donghua Kingdom is indeed inferior to them in terms of comprehensive strength."
"We are behind them."
"Students, contempt and ignorance are just the most innocuous results."
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten."
Shi Tiexin looked around the audience and did not use his mind to confuse his heart.
I don't want to use it, because every word comes from the bottom of my heart.
But Shi Tiexin's voice and demeanor aura are also enough to suppress the big stage into an insignificant backing board under his feet, making him look strong and majestic visually and emotionally.
Shi Tiexin opened his mouth, and his soul asked three times:
"If we are a sports powerhouse, will we still be ignored and ridiculed for our achievements? No. β
"If we were a cultural powerhouse, would we still care about the irresponsible words of an unknown person in a foreign show? No. β
"If we're an all-round powerhouse, do we still need a gold medal and a world record to boost morale? No, you don't. β
The students were silent and listened as if they were listening to the inspiration of their life coach.
Shi Tiexin raised a finger and said solemnly: "Students, this incident has only one inspiration for me: money alone cannot buy respect, in addition to being rich, it is also powerful." Prosperity and strength are the strongest confidence of a country. β
Principal Liu blinked, and he noticed that the governor beside him was nodding slightly.
Shi Tiexin swayed freely, attracting everyone's attention, making people listen, making people focus, and making people involuntarily attracted.
"How can a country become rich and strong? Can I run to become rich and strong? No. β
"Just because I'm not a professional athlete doesn't mean I don't compete. Of course, I will continue to contribute my strength in the sports world, and I will certainly prove to the world that the Chinese sons and daughters are of the level. But my ambition is not just to be a professional athlete, I want to do more, I want to change more. β
"I hope that my motherland will be fundamentally rich and strong."
"How?"
"Rely on me? I can't do it alone, I have to rely on you. Shi Tiexin stretched out his finger and crossed everyone in front of him, all the stunned people, all the excited people, all the surprised people, all the excited people: "Only by relying on you, relying on me, and relying on the strength of all of you can we really change everything." β
The students looked at each other.
Boys, girls, I don't know what it's like to be there, but I just feel like there's a fire burning in my heart.
"Students, let's fight, play, and dig. to strive for a better life, and at the same time to lead the country to a prosperous and strong future. β
"Let's make wonderful film and television works, so that we don't have to worship Hollywood."
"Let's play a powerful cadenza so that we don't have to pay homage to Vienna."
"Let's run, let's jump, let's work hard, whatever talent you have, just show it all!"
"Even if you are a chef, you have to make the most beautiful taste on the tongue."
"Even if you go to drive an excavator, you have to dig out the widest avenue to heaven."
"And the most important thing is to study hard and study hard!"
"Students, you are students of Fengming No. 1 Middle School, a famous university, and you are the best at learning among countless high school students. The fundamental driving force for the country's prosperity and strength is the development and progress of science and technology. β
"When one day we lead the world in science and technology, our nation will naturally become confident."
Shi Tiexin's incomparable sincerity and sincerity inspired all the students.
"I have a dream."
"I dream of a day when burgers and shredded fish will sit side by side, and the only way people will judge them is whether they taste to their taste, rather than having to eat Western food. Do you want to? β
The students chattered in response, and Zhou Nan quickly pouted everyone to cheer: "Yes!" β
"I dream that one day, domestic car brands will be able to go to the world and be praised for their excellent quality and exquisite technology. And those so-called luxury cars can no longer raise prices at a premium, increase the price, and take the unjust money from our pockets just by relying on a car logo. Do you want to? β
More students unified the rhythm and shouted in unison, "Yes!" β
"I dream that one day, people from all over the world can gather together on the land of China. No one can look at us condescendingly with haughty eyes, and people gather together in our beautiful and rich country to share in the prosperity of the world. Do you want to? β
Fang Qingjue looked at the man on the stage with bright eyes, nodded seriously, and replied solemnly with all his classmates: "Yes!" β
"I dream that one day, the chariots of the motherland will be able to gallop on the earth, the fleets of the motherland will be able to sail freely on the blue sea, the planes of the motherland will be able to soar in the sky, and the aerospace of the motherland will be able to look forward to the universe. I hope that all the sons and daughters of China can travel around the world and travel the world. β
"Do you want to?"
"Want to ββββ!!" More than 4,000 people in the entire auditorium roared in unison, almost tearing down the roof and bombarding the sky.
"Woo-" In the crowd, Ling Xingjian suddenly covered his mouth, tears raining down.
"Hey, are you alright?" Her roommate hurriedly supported her: "What are you crying about, I haven't seen you so sentimental in my daily life?" β
"I, I don't know, I, I just can't stand this kind of ......, this kind of country, nation, unity, and sacrifice" Ling Xingjian kept waving his hands, crying pear blossoms and rain, and couldn't stop it: "In short, I just can't stand this kind of atmosphere where everyone shouts together!" β
The roommate had a question mark in her head, but she also felt that under the drive of the man on the stage, everyone was really excited.
Even the governor in the front row gently stroked his hands and admired.
Shi Tiexin clenched the microphone and grinned brightly: "If you want to, then make a bet with me!" β
"Bet?" This peak turned around, and everyone was amazed.
"Yes, make a bet. If you don't bet on anything else, just bet that in our next final exam, I will definitely be back in the elite class. Shi Tiexin paused, and then said: "This is too simple, it's not interesting, then add another condition - I will definitely be admitted to the top ten in the grade!" From the ordinary class, I went back to the exam in earnest! β
Papapa, Lao Jia clapped with a flushed face and applauded loudly. Zheng Kaiming next to him was also full of smiles, feeling that this kid was indeed ambitious.
"And the bet, we might as well bet big."
"If I lose, I'm going to give all the money I get from the arena for an unlimited amount of time between now and the future β note that, this includes prize money and the proceeds of possible commercial endorsements. In short, I will take out all the benefits I have obtained as an athlete and set up a scholarship foundation to help Donghua students study! β
"All the division commanders learn together, Shi Mou's words, the horse is difficult to chase!"
Wow, the students were in an uproar. Some of them didn't know how much money it was, but it didn't stop them from marveling at Shi Tiexin's determination. And those who have a little concept of this money are even more shocked and incomprehensible, and they don't understand why Shi Tiexin wants to take out such a large amount of capital to gamble.
After all, the top ten in the grade not only depends on strength, but also on luck many times. As long as it is not crushing, the slightest difference may turn a few times around the top 10 circles.
"And if you lose the bet, the price will not be small." Shi Tiexin looked at the division commander and leaders sitting in the front row: "Teachers, if I win, the students dare to ask all teachers to double their homework, test, and difficulty, and have a big unified exam every month." β
There was immediately a burst of laughter from the teacher's seat, and they all nodded their heads that the bet could be made, while the students chattered, and none of them were in shape.
Shi Tiexin smiled, and then restrained his smile.
"Students, I'm not a good gambler, and it's a joke to start a bet today, not a joke, it's really a feeling."
"I made this bet today just to let everyone know that I, Shi, am not empty words, not playing fake and empty."
"I made this bet today to inspire everyone to be eager to learn."
"At the same time, I made this bet today for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games that I saw."
Opening ceremony? What does this have to do with the opening ceremony?
"At the opening ceremony, I saw the so-called 'national' teams around me. I saw that they were of the same blood as us, and they spoke the same words, but they could only look at each other from a distance, and could not be one. β
"At this time, I had a new feeling about a poem that I had already learned."
Shi Tiexin looked at the crowd and chanted slowly.
"Dead Yuan Zhi, everything is empty."
"But the sadness is gone, Kyushu is the same."
All the students, all the teachers, follow the chant together:
"Wang Shi Beiding, Central Plains Day."
"The family sacrifice is not forgotten, and it is sued for Nayon."
Shi Tiexin looked around the audience, and his voice was deep and powerful: "Students, we are a generation that shoulders the burden of history. I don't know where my biological parents are, but I know that I am a descendant of Yanhuang. We have an obligation to send good news to our ancestors when we worship them. β
"So."
"Don't forget this heart, keep in mind the mission, and study for the rise of Donghua."
"So."
"βare you going to gamble?"
Principal Liu was so excited that he couldn't help himself, Huo Ran stood up and shouted loudly in the silence: "I announce that the bet contract has been established!" β
One after another stood up, regardless of teachers, students, reporters, leaders, everyone broke out into earth-shattering applause. This applause is far warmer and more lasting than the applause that a commendation conference should have. This applause is no longer from the pursuit of individuals, but from a broader history and a more gazing soul.
