Chapter 353: Education is the Foundation of National Strength (Part 1)
There is a lot of cloudiness in the whites of Mark Kazunga's eyes, which many people see as a symbol of aging, but Mark Kazunga sees this as the precipitation accumulated by the past, and these spots only make him see the world more clearly, not make him dizzy with old age.
Now he didn't think so, because he really couldn't see through the young man in front of him.
Perhaps the young man had obtained that information from some particular source, thought to Mark Kazunga, after all, war correspondents are always well-informed, and the leaders of Malawi's ethnic groups and parties are terrible in the field of information control.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, the topic of this interview is Malawi tomorrow, right?" Mark Kazunga lifted the corners of his mouth and laughed, "Is this your satire on Malawi Today?" ”
The last time Mark Kazunga was interviewed by international journalists, the theme of the interview was "Malawi Today", and the main content of the interview was about the great changes in Malawi in recent times and the prospects for the future.
Nowadays, it's all a joke.
"Why do you think this way?" Tang Fei pretended to be surprised, "Don't you think there is no tomorrow worth talking about in Malawi?" ”
"Mr. Tang, I have been obsessed with studying the history of China, because China was also a country that had been weak for a hundred years, and it was several eras behind in terms of scientific research technology and industrial level, and for a long time the Chinese people were called 'the sick man of East Asia'. But such a country can complete its transformation within a hundred years, and become a world-class power from a backward agricultural country under the double blow of sugar-coated cannonballs and steel cannonballs by the great powers. ”
Tang Fei listened carefully, not losing patience because Mark Kaconga started with seemingly irrelevant content, he knew that what Mark Kazunga said must be related to his own problem.
"I think it's because of the great wealth and great talents of China, and it was those heroes who turned the tide, but my granddaughter, Muta Kazunga, told me that the reason why China was able to complete such an impossible reversal was because China attached great importance to education, even if it was attached to the decadent education of the feudal period, which also played an important role that cannot be ignored. On the one hand, if you are literate, you can read, and if you read, you can get in touch with great ideas, so that you can shape great people. On the other hand, the system, height and popularity of education determine the hematopoietic capacity of all industries in a country in the long run, which is the lifeblood of national strength. I think she's right, so I've made education reform a top priority since I took office. "However, not all ethnic groups attach importance to education, and it is difficult to change the stereotypes of hundreds of thousands of years, and the respect for culture and knowledge accumulated in China for thousands of years is not the same in Malawi, and I have tried every possible way to get the adults of many families to change their attitudes and let them allow their children to go to school......
"It's ridiculous to say that I have ordered schools everywhere to provide free food so that children can go to school on their own initiative, and their parents only allow their children to go to school in order to save one person's rations, otherwise they will never spare their children's labor in vain, and they think that sweating in the fields is more valuable than spending energy in school. You see, my comrades and I have worked so hard to make the education industry in Malawi better, but now it's all over. After the temple leaves, the reckless, ignorant, killing, and totalitarian fools will take control of the land again, and after my death, all policies conducive to education will be nullified – and even if the new ruling party does not do it, the economic collapse caused by the withdrawal of capital will make the situation worse. ”
"The people of Malawi are simple-minded, and they tend to think that what they think is right, that they take it as fact, as truth. If I can succeed and maybe Malawi can be saved, then Muta's sacrifice will be worth it, but what about now? I gave them hope, but it didn't take long for them to disappoint them, and all that was left was despair, and from now on it was impossible to make them believe that knowledge changes their destiny, and to make them respect education. Mark Kazunga nodded slowly, "Yes, I don't think Malawi has a tomorrow worth talking about, not every country or nation can stand in the long river of history like your Chinese for a long time, and my motherland Malawi is just the next drowned person who is about to sink, hehe, probably providential." ”
After listening to this, Tang Fei got up silently and handed a photo to Mark Kazunga, in which several black children walked forward with their feet covered with broken skin and gravel.
"Believe me, Your Excellency, Malawi has tomorrow." After Tang Fei finished speaking, he made a move that surprised Mark Kazon even more, he reached into his leather jacket and pulled out an automatic pistol with a narrow barrel.
"...... you" Mark Kazunga looked at the gun in Tang Fei's hand, puzzled, could it be that he came to assassinate himself? This is unreasonable, if you want to exchange your own head for a bounty, why talk so much nonsense, and why bother to act up?
"Oh, this?" Tang Fei shook the gun in his hand and said with a smile, "What I'm going to say next may be too bizarre for you, so I need to come up with some practical proof to make you believe me, and this gun is one of the props I use to enhance my persuasive power." ”
After saying that, Tang Fei took out a long black pipe from his other pocket and skillfully installed it on the muzzle, which looked like a silencer, but the shape was quite different.
"It's a special silencer." Tang Fei saw Mark Kazunga's confusion and deliberately explained, "Generally speaking, the silencer can probably only reduce the sound of the gun by a few decibels, even if the automatic pistol uses subsonic bullets, it is impossible to only emit a faint whistling sound like in the movie after installing the silencer, but this special silencer is a high-tech product, which can not only effectively reduce the volume, but also greatly change the timbre and tone of the gunshot, making it sound like a gunshot, which is of tactical significance." ”
"I see, thanks." Mark Kazunga didn't know much about weapons, he nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked, "But I still don't understand, Mr. Tang, since you didn't take out your gun to kill me, then what is the target of your shooting?" ”
"Oh, didn't we mention someone was going to assassinate you? They have arrived. Tang Fei pulled open the safety and spit out the gum to the ground, then raised his hand and shot the oil painting behind him seemingly carelessly.
"Poof"
Blood splatters.
