Chapter 6: Principal Qian's Dry Humor (1)
Ling 006) amiable old principal, catching up with fashion and talking about crossing
The third round came to the highlight, and it was the impromptu speech delivered by the principal of the school's famous high school, Mr. Qian Muyang:
Dear children, today, as the first Head of High School at Holy Angels International School, on behalf of all the staff, I would like to welcome you from the bottom of my heart! We will spend a wonderful and fulfilling three years of high school together, like friends or family, and I believe that when you graduate, you will be able to continue the glorious history of our school and add to the glory of our previous talents.
Of course, first of all, it is necessary to thank all the shareholders represented by Mr. Wei Chi for giving us solid and powerful wings for our ideals, ensuring that we have sufficient food, complete facilities, and a comfortable environment, without any worries at all.
You should be glad that you have the opportunity to stand out from thousands of applicants and get into this very unique school. So make the most of every day you spend here! As long as you are willing to put in a little effort, you will reap ten times the reward in the future, and I can guarantee that both you and your parents will not regret it and will be proud of your choice today.
If anyone doesn't believe it, you can ask the previous graduates, our holy angels have this confidence, which is also an important reason why your parents insist on letting you apply for our school.
Just outside the school gate, there are many children who are the same age and have the same good grades as you, and it is impossible to get in. However, it's not that they didn't work hard enough, it's not that their parents didn't support it, it's just that they didn't have enough luck this time. After all, our school's enrollment capacity is still limited, and we can only express our deep regret that we cannot accept all the children who have expectations for us. However, for those of you who have already stepped into the threshold, everyone is lucky, so you should cherish your good fortune even more.
Then you should also thank your parents for preparing you for your school and providing financial support. Whether it is innate genes and IQ, or acquired financial resources and upbringing, all of you have become the winners of thousands of competitors who can persevere to the end.
It is true that the person who should be thanked more in the end is still yourself, and it has been proved that everyone: reincarnation is accurate and the vision is correct. From then on, you will see that every effort you have made in the past and present will not have byes, and every time you refuel, it will help you turn on the elite mode and go to the peak of life. I think there has to be some recognition here! Thank you, you understand.
(There is applause from the audience, mixed with a sneaky chuckle and whispers.) )
Don't laugh below, what I'm saying is not superstition, it's just a figure of speech to make it easier for you to accept. Because "reincarnation" is really not a trivial thing, it is the starting point of all your actions in this life. You say, "Is that not so?"
From a theological point of view, "reincarnation" is an extremely measured, high-IQ, high-EQ, and high-financial quotient, and the "three highs empowering" physical work! And the technical content is quite high. Don't believe it again, do you? You all go back and think about it before you shake your head.
You think it's like an online travel novel, you can wear it wherever you want? Can everyone join the princely and aristocratic family? Can everyone be born with a golden spoon or a treasure jade, and be a rich lady, a son, or even a princess, a prince, or a prince?
Cut! In this world, how can there be such a cheap beautiful thing? Besides, whether this beautiful thing is really cheap or not, we will discuss later.
But if your force is too strong or insufficient, and there is a slight deviation, you may become the role of the eunuch, palace maid, little maid or something around them. If you make a little more money, you may be a beggar, a prisoner, a servant, a servant, or even a common man who is doing labor, military service, or selling coolies, or a thief, bandit, robber, minion or something, and you can't leave a trace of it when you die.
(There was another low laugh, a little wider, but it was clear that the mood had relaxed a lot.) )
Among the thousands of ordinary people like this, we only know that there is a Wan Xiliang, or because his wife cried down the Great Wall, and later generations built a temple for her, which allows us to remember him alone for thousands of years, in the vast sea of people, right? And most people, the average life expectancy is less than fifty or sixty years old and they die early, and that is still a natural death, not counting natural disasters and man-made disasters such as disease, plague, war, self-determination, vendetta, plotting, power struggle, death, beheading, and the nine clans.
I have studied ancient Chinese history, and most people often say: I am most willing to wear it back to the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, when the country was so strong! West Hu Dongyi, South Barbarian North Di, all countries come to the court, looking down on the world, it's not bullish! How proud you should be to be a Chinese of that era!
However, there are no absolutes in everything, and it has been said that
Liu Han is difficult, the country is powerful and the people are brave, and the world is difficult.
Li Tang was in turmoil, the country was prosperous, the people were poor, the soldiers were good at fighting, and the outside was strong and the internal strife was indicated.
Zhao Songchang, Guotai Min'an Army is weak, and Wu is cowardly Wenchang.
Zhu is bright and dark, the country is declining, the people are lowly eunuchs, and the sky is dark.
In short, in the history of China, any dynasty has its own shortcomings that are difficult to make up, even the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty are no exception. Otherwise, it will not be replaced by others in the end.
Moreover, it is not only ancient Chinese history that has developed in this way, but also everywhere in the world where people live, and this is the inevitable law of the development of human history, and there is nothing new.
If you really have the chance to go back to the Han Dynasty and give it a try, I dare say: if you don't stay for a month, you will have to regret your death. Why? Eat, drink, and sleep, there is nothing you can bear.
Not to mention anything else, the foodies here were the first to stand it, because at that time, there were too few delicious things!
Before the Song Dynasty, there was no wok, and meals were mostly boiled, steamed, fried, and charcoal-grilled. You said that eating boiled fish is spicy and hot, and you can always grill skewers, right? Where are all the spices? At most, there is only salty salt, and sour plums; Want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, no tomatoes and sugar.
Someone wants to eat the legendary hero package: two bowls of soju and half a pound of sauce beef! Dream on, ploughing cattle is the main labor, how expensive? If you can't feed yourself, you will be punished, and you still want to eat beef casually? He is a roadside vendor inn, hangs a wine banner to attract customers, and earns a few pennies from passers-by, how can he have so much silver and so many cattle to make you sauce beef and put a hero's score?
Even if the cattle are killed and eaten, it is first a tribute to the ancestors and gods in a large-scale memorial ceremony, and then it is the turn of the princes and nobles to feast on the ministers and bells. You are a chivalrous man who runs the rivers and lakes, so you should eat some steamed corn and drink some green vegetable soup to fill your stomach.
And then there are those who love beauty, who want you to wash your face once a month and take a shower once a year, and you yourself will be smoked to death by the stench. Yang Guifei soaks in the hot spring in Huaqing Pool, is that a treatment that everyone can have? Even if you enjoy grace like this, what will happen in the end?
Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, what a talented king, wasn't he also poisoned to death by a bowl of medicinal wine in the end? Since people grow and hate water, they grow up.
If you have to go back and take a look, I can tell you the truth very responsibly: if you really wear it to the Han and Tang Dynasties, then the greatest chance is to be reincarnated as an ordinary person.
If you were a common man at that time, it would be better to wear back to the Song Dynasty as a stray dog, at least there would be food.
(This time the laughter was louder, and most people didn't seem convinced.) )
Look, you're laughing ignorantly again, and I know there's going to be such a reaction. Congratulations, you've been tricked again!
You don't believe any of you, do you? Then you should study the ancient history of China well, and then you will naturally understand it in seconds. Some people say: Isn't studying history like digging up graves? That's all the past tense of the dead man, it's better to look to the future and improve the development of science and technology, we only need the present tense and the future tense.
Comparing tomb robbing with archaeology is a very naïve, ridiculous, ignorant, and even brazen hooligan's remarks.
The study of history is not about digging up graves, and there is an essential difference between tomb robbers and archaeologists. Tomb robbers are only there to make money, they will not respect the historical traces left by the ancients, let alone protect the cultural value of their ancestors, they only care about what can be exchanged for money. Therefore, they are in essence wreaking havoc, not only insulting the dignity of their ancestors and destroying cultural relics, but also violating the law for money.
However, the archaeology of historians tries to study and preserve the deceased, relics and old things, and strive to make those ancients "come alive" and tell me the historical lessons of our ancestors for generations to come. What attracts us the most is the cultural information that the lost lives want to tell future generations, and prove in what era and when the ancestors started those activities, these evidences are richer and more convincing than the words of historical books. Therefore, what they have to do is first of all to respect and protect, to preserve all the locations and traces as much as possible, even if a detail is a story, just like a detective handling a case, the evidence is precious, once destroyed, it will disappear forever and become an irreparable defect.
Even, if the current technical means are not enough to preserve, continue, and interpret, it is better to seal it first, and wait for the future time to be ripe, and then explore and study. This is a project that requires a lot of manpower, energy, and financial resources, in other words, it will not only not make money, but also a lot of investment. How can it be compared with tomb robbers and cultural relics dealers who resell antiques with a completely different attitude?
History is a vast river that connects the past, present and future, and only when individual lives merge into this great river can they gain eternity. Every living individual is a small droplet, which is carried with the flow, running towards the future, and moving forward bravely. Although, in each period, there will be a few restless droplets, bravely leaping out of the water, trying to be different from the mass mainstream. They may reflect a rainbow, pierce rocks that block their path, or even divert their course. Eventually, however, they will fall back and move forward.
