The entire auditorium was silent, except for Lynch's voice.

"Before me, our teacher representatives, the graduating student representatives, have already spoken, and they have passed on to us what they have experienced, the accumulated experience, and what they have seen and heard on the road of life. ”

"I am grateful for the help of these teachers and old students, so I will talk about something different, such as youth. ”

"You all see, I don't have a speech!", he waved his hands again, and swiped back and forth on the table of the podium, and no paper flew out, proving that he was not lying.

He propped his hands on the edges of the podium and tilted his head slightly, "Actually, the second before I stood here, the moment I stood up from the seat over there, I didn't even know what I was going to say......", he didn't look, and gestured to his seat with feeling.

"But when I stood here and looked at our host, Miss ......," he smiled and glanced at the host who was about to cry when he was standing on the side, "I said her three times in such a short time, am I bullying her?"

There was a little more chuckling in the auditorium, and the atmosphere changed from serious to a little cheerful, and he waved his hand, "Okay, I didn't bully her, but I have to mention her because she is reminding me that I am going to bring my speech." ”

"Students, since when did we get used to such a ......", he frowned, raised his hand and nodded his forehead, "...... 'norms', and are still bound by this 'norms'?"

"Elders always use their rich life experiences to tell us, 'You should do this, child,' 'You should do this?' Child's ......? He added a tongue-warping sound to the end of the word "child", making this otherwise ordinary word a little strange? It's kind of funny.

"Are we always being caught up in various other people's life experiences? Someone else's social experience and someone else's years have been warned, so that someone needs to remind me? I need a copy of the speech......"

"If we've been following these things, what about our own lives?"

Will it also be under this kind of persuasion and regulation? Become a different kind of life that we don't really want? Someone else's life?"

"Maybe this kind of life is not wrong, classmates, because this kind of life is the most correct path that others have spent their years trying to figure out for us, but? Think about a question? Is this the life we want?"

His voice became full of sharp momentum, tearing something apart, "The norms we get from others are restricting our lives, not the lives we want ourselves, maybe we will think it's actually good in the future?" But at least not now. ”

"That's what I want to talk to you about here today, Youth!"

"Youth is not just a term for the age we are in now? It should be an attitude towards life!"

"Try, take a risk? Hurt, flying? Licentious? Tenacious to face our unknown and unfamiliar life path? Wave our fists, smash all the obstacles that stand in our way to happiness, and forge ahead on the road of life!"

"This is the attitude that we young people should have, this is the attitude of youth!"

He swung his fist vigorously, and a few words were almost in one go, making people feel like they were about to suffocate, but they also felt dripping with joy.

His voice slowed slightly, "Maybe...... We can get hurt, and perhaps the same hurts we endure are the same ones that the older ones have experienced, and they have warned us that we can avoid them. ”

"But it doesn't matter, students, don't be afraid of pain, it is precisely because we have personally tasted the pain of the scar that we will remember it, and we will be proud because we have crossed the pain and scars!"

"This is the life we want, this is our own life!"

"Free youth should not be swayed by others......"

Compared with the rigid statements of the previous two speakers, Lynch's speech was full of a very special thing, rebellious, capricious, or presumptuous, and he directly insinuated against the speeches of the first two speakers.

All their encouragement, supervision, and admonition have become "norms" that interfere with other people's lives, and this has just aroused the recognition and resonance of the students.

In fact, the vast majority of people here have a similar life, others only see their food and clothing since birth, but they can't see the indifference behind it.

From the day they were sensible, they were actually more like a dog than a person.

Their parents will punish them for "you shouldn't do this" and reward them for doing what they "should" do.

Their life is like a well-trained dog, with a mechanical response, what can be done and what cannot be done, it has long been prescribed, they don't need to know why some things can be done and some things can't be done, this is the first lesson that the world teaches them.

They are not qualified to explore the world, and while they are richer than their peers who envy them outside that wall, they are not free.

The norms are like ropes, tightly binding them, making them unable to breathe, even when to go to school and which school to attend, it is an arranged life.

The words they probably hear the most are "it's all for you" instead of "I respect your choice."

A group of poor people, poor people without youth.

But it is precisely this group of people who resonates with Lynch's impromptu speech, who also yearns for freedom, for a real, wanton youth—the youth that children outside the walls can indulge in a quarter of their lives.

They may not be rich, but their spirit is free!

When he returned to his seat, everyone around him praised him, and even the teacher representatives and graduation age representatives who were hinted at by him to "standardize" the lives of new students also gave him a high evaluation of his speech.

Lynch warmly interacted with them, politely, did not snub anyone, everything was so perfect.

The congressman's speech was very short, after all, it is impossible for a big man of this level to speak at length here, and when he dropped the last word and put away the speech, the students responded with enthusiastic applause.

The orientation meeting is almost over at this point, and the rest is some trivial little work.

Surprisingly, the congressman also deliberately walked over to Lynch's side and shook his hand, "Mr. Lynch, I didn't expect to see you here, you are ......", he looked at Lynch's school uniform with some curiosity.

Lynch didn't hide it either, "I just reported, freshman. ”

The congressman quickly understood, after all, that he was also a member of the Holy Peace Church, "Your choice is very wise, this is a good school." He took out his business card and handed it to Lynch, "I won't bother you, you can contact me when you have time, we can talk." ”

After saying that, the two shook hands, and the congressman left in a hurry.

Looking at his departing back, Lynch glanced at the business card in his hand, this is a member of the House of Representatives, but he has the title of a member of two committees, which should have something to do with some business matters, and may be useful in the future.

He put the business card away, and it was only then that Anna came over, knowing that she needed to give Lynch some space.

"You just told me that the core of your speech was 'ideals', but now it has become 'youth'. The girl was a little coquettish, which made people's scalp tingle.

Lynch blinked, "I said, every second you see me is a new me, so what I say doesn't depend on what I have to say before, but on what I want to say the second it happens." ”

"Good...... Complex. Anna cupped her forehead, "I always felt that you were perfunctory to me." ”

"Perfunctory?"

"How is that possible?!"

He smiled, of course it was perfunctory, Anna's attitude towards him changed too quickly, not to mention ninety degrees, one hundred and eighty degrees, he was a little wary, the ghost knew what this girl was going to do.

But no matter what she's up to, there's absolutely no problem with being prepared.

"What do you think of what I'm saying?", Lynch asked a very ordinary question, but he didn't really care.

Yes, what he said before was not what he wanted to say at this second, but in that case, it seemed more appropriate to say those topics.

In fact, these words will not last long, except for making people a little excited at first, if there are really people here who have tried to resist and the resistance has succeeded, then they can't be here.

Freedom, or presumptuousness, is an imaginable dream for most people here, and when you wake up, reality will return.

They don't dare to really face an uncertain life, because everything they have now is based on wealth.

If they lose that, they will become nothing, and at that time, let alone "happiness because of freedom", they will not even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

So after the excitement, how to live the life or how to live, but this does not mean that Lynch's words are useless, these words are actually very encouraging for those who have been freed.

For example, those who can't afford to go to school, young people who start working as soon as they graduate from high school, for example, those who are ordinary college students, freedom is definitely more valuable than "norms", and this is also the mainstream idea of the Federation, freedom is better than life.

Those...... People in the lower and middle classes of society are desperately fighting for freedom, but Lynch, and these people here, are still going further and further down the road of "standardization".

Anna was clearly aware of this, and she could feel an uplifting power fill her body as each word popped out of Lynch's mouth, but she pondered it when she had finished speaking...... Tut.

"That's great!", the girl complimented insincerely.
