Chapter 726: Reading Is It Useless?
This time, Qi Qi, who was prepared, took out his Apple mobile phone, and shook his head slightly while patting it, immersed in the artistic conception woven by Lan Juechen, and couldn't help but be stupid.
"Is there an antidote in people's hearts that can cover the hustle and bustle of right and wrong? Holding a spear and stepping on the sea of stars to prove the heart of the Dao, slashing is constantly the rebellious ...... of this life"
Six minutes later, the song ends.
When he stood up, he found that there were already a lot of people standing in the private room, including waiters in the restaurant, other students from No. 2 Middle School, teachers from No. 2 Middle School, leaders from No. 2 Middle School, and many media reporters.
And Fei Luo and the students of Class 5 have all arrived, and there are several Westerners standing next to the principal of No. 2 Middle School, one of whom is still known to Lan Juechen, but it is Miss Swift who is in charge of admissions at Harvard University.
This made Lan Jiechen stunned on the spot, and after a few seconds, he couldn't help but show a wry smile, and said secretly in his heart: "What kind of reason should I make up?"
"Good, good, good!" Liang Yuhua suddenly shouted loudly, clapping his hands violently.
Yin Xinmin, a few people who had a good time with Lan Jiechen, coaxed together, praised Lan Jiechen in various ways, and heard Lan Jiechen's thick-skinned person who was thicker than the city wall, and they all felt blush.
Lan Jiechen was very "ruthless" and put on an expression that I didn't know them.
For a while, Lan Juechen didn't know how to step down, and in the applause of everyone, Lan Juechen looked very embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
"You guys sit down first, I'll go to the bathroom. Lan Jiechen had an idea, and thought of the practice of urinating.
Lan Jiechen ran out very flexibly. On the way, he also said hello to Swift by the way, and then ran out of the private room.
"Wait for me. I'll take you to the toilet~" Qi Qi came back to his senses and chased after Lan Juechen. There was the same sparkle in both eyes.
After seeing Lan Juechen and Qi Qi leave the private room, the entire private room exploded.
"Damn, this guy is Lan Shiqiang, who scored 742 points in the college entrance examination in Class 5, right, such a dick? This piano plays so well, I didn't expect him to play well, study well, and be so slippery on the piano. ”
"I feel like this song is so good, is it on the Internet? I don't feel like I've heard it before. ”
“......”
..............................
"The top student in the college entrance examination is really versatile, I didn't expect him to play the piano. It's a shame that I didn't shoot the previous scene, and the ratings of our TV station will definitely keep up. ”
"The previous song, the melody gives people a feeling of boiling blood and blood, and the lyrics are easy to understand, with a fantasy color, which is a rare Chinese style. It stands to reason that such a song will definitely become popular on the Internet, but I have never heard such a song. ”
"Maybe Lan Shiqiang wrote it himself?"
"This ......"
....................................
"Is it Qiang Shao who plays the piano and sings in front of me? I must be dazzled, oh my God!"
"I think so, too. I can't think of Qiang Shao having this kind of skill, he can do all the pickle skills, and his grades are good. He plays well and can play the piano and sing. It's not a problem to sweep through the college girls' dorm with these three skills!"
"Beast!"
"Beast!"
“......”
Almost everyone in the private room was talking about the scene in front of them, and Swift and his Harvard delegation were no exception.
In particular, Swift was even more excited. She felt that Lan Jiechen was a mysterious Oriental boy, just like this mysterious Oriental country.
After Lan Jiechen went out, he didn't go to the toilet, but walked out of the hotel, quietly, calmed down, and Qiqi followed closely beside him, like a fart.
"I said Sister Qiqi, you have been following me like this, you won't go to work and entertain others, aren't you afraid of being scolded by your leaders?" Lan Jiechen was very helpless, Qi Qi was by his side, and he always felt that he couldn't help but do things like beasts when the time came.
Qiqi is not only beautiful, but also has a coquettish temperament, even ordinary words seem to be teasing you.
"It's okay, our leader said, my job today is to follow you and serve you well until you leave the hotel, so I have no problem at all. Qi Qijiao smiled.
"Didn't I leave the hotel now?"
"This doesn't count, the leader refers to after the banquet in your second middle school. ”
“......”
At half past seven, except for Lan Juechen, all the other invited people entered the venue and sat down according to the positions that had been arranged.
But it can't be consumed forever, and after the leaders of all the schools came to the stage to talk about some of the exciting college entrance examination results of the No. 2 Middle School, they said a blockbuster news that Harvard University wants to cooperate with the No. 2 Middle School.
This is another big news, how Harvard University could cooperate with a high school in a small and unknown place, this is too incredible.
After receiving the approval of the Education Bureau, the leaders of No. 2 Middle School set up a special class for American-style education, and if they have excellent grades, they will be directly admitted to Harvard University.
As soon as this news came out, there was a huge applause for a while.
People still can't figure out why Harvard University didn't cooperate with Liu Gao, who was a hundred times better than No. 2 Middle School in terms of faculty and environment, but cooperated with No. 2 Middle School.
Subsequently, the school leaders told the news that Lan Jiechen had been admitted to Harvard University, which caused another round of cheers. The full scholarship and the $1 million school choice subsidy stunned everyone present.
Keep in mind that the annual tuition fee for Harvard undergraduates is $31,456, and the total tuition and fees are $45,456 when you add boarding and fees.
After calculation, in four years, it has directly saved 180,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 1 million yuan.
If he didn't get a full scholarship, an ordinary family like Lan Juechen, even if he added the more than 300,000 scholarships he won, would only be Lan Juechen's expenses in the United States for a year.
Well, now it's not just tuition. Accommodation, tuition and fees are all waived. I also got a million dollars in school choice subsidies, which is simply eye-catching.
That's 6.2 million yuan. Lan Juechen has not even graduated from college and gone out to work, but he has already earned more than 6.5 million yuan because of his talent.
The crowd shouted in their hearts, who said that reading is useless?
After the school leaders finished speaking, it was already eight o'clock.
Swift took the stage to speak, Swift is a mixed-race, Chinese-American mixed-race, but his appearance is more inclined to Americans, but he also has some oriental charm.
The cheeks are as delicate as roses, and the nose is delicate and smart. The mouth is like a ripe red cherry, and it exudes an alluring and sweet aroma, and the golden hair is like an autumn wheat wave, warm and beautiful, with the color of sunshine. The most mesmerizing thing was her eyes, as bright as sapphires, like the brightest star in a midsummer night, shining with a wise and deep gaze.
She used the noon to say hello to everyone and then encouraged everyone to study hard. Improve yourself, become a great talent of the country, or contribute to all mankind.
She also explained the reason why she cooperated with No. 2 Middle School, although it seems that the reason is a bit dreamy. It's a bit far-fetched, but that's all it takes, what others think is someone else's business.
It never occurred to Swift to let them know. This qiē is the result of her hard work because of her curiosity about an oriental teenager.
For this mysterious country that his mother often told him. Swift was still full of strange feelings, so she thought that her classmates refuted the theory that reading was useless. It is even more an example of Lan Jiechen to show that reading is not useless, but can make money.
In just a few sentences, it made everyone fall into contemplation, those who have already worked, waiters with a low level of education, they can best understand the pain of not studying.
By the time Swift finished speaking, it was only ten past eight.
It happened that at this time, Lan Jiechen and Qi Qi returned to the private room, and a hint of strangeness flashed in Swift's eyes, and her sensitive sixth sense made her feel that Qi Qi seemed to be a little different.
More charming than when he first went out, and his walking posture was a little awkward, his face was flushed, and he was glamorous and moving, and his extraordinary temperament didn't look like an ordinary waiter at all.
"Next, let's let our Lan classmates speak for us. There was a hint of banter on Svifit's face.
She knew that Lan Jiechen liked to keep a low profile and didn't want to be public, so a trace of revenge welled up in her heart, and she didn't know why she was a little excited.
As if he had expected it, Lan Jiechen slowly walked onto the platform, calmly.
"Since Miss Swift has spoken of the uselessness of reading, I will tell you about the uselessness of reading, which is very prevalent in our country, and if the students of today think so, then the country will not be far from decay.
Is it really useless to read? That is because you have not studied with your heart, that is because you have not had a single outstanding talent, and it is not useless to read.
If a person who has never read a book says that "reading is useless", just as a eunuch says that "sex is useless"; if he still says "reading is useless" after reading a lot of books, then he must have read the book to a dog.
There was once a person who issued an "answer collection order": since we can't make a lot of money by reading, why do we still read so many books and establish a lifelong reading habit?
The reason why he wanted to collect this answer was because he went home for a few days during the Spring Festival, and encountered a question repeated by his relatives: After graduating from a famous brand, he may not earn as much money as others moving bricks, so what is the use of studying?
This kind of "Tian Ji Horse Racing" is similar to the fact that there are a few students at Tsinghua University and Peking University who are particularly unskilled or unlucky and cannot find a job, while a certain person who has never gone to college and started from "moving bricks and bricks" has learned real skills in the process of crawling and finally creating a career; at this time, a large number of people have come to the conclusion that "going to Tsinghua University is not conducive to finding a job, but it is easier to succeed in moving bricks". Hehe. Obviously, the plucked phoenix is not as good as the most beautiful chicken in the flock, but some people will say that "the phoenix is not as good as the chicken". Isn't the "theory of the uselessness of reading" resurrected under the guidance of this logic?
Therefore, from a purely secular utilitarian point of view, the statement that "reading is useless" is also completely wrong.
Some people say that "reading is useless", in fact, it is not because reading is useless, but because it is useless for them to read by themselves, in the final analysis, it is they themselves who are useless.
Of course, the previous words are a little too arrogant and inaccurate, everything can't be said so absolutely, and you have to let yourself have a way back.
For example, in rural areas, for many people, it is true, even if they read a lot of books, there is not much use, and it may indeed be "reading is useless". But for people who have read a lot and have been detached from the rural environment, if they still complain that "reading is useless", or if they are beaten away by their relatives' "what is the use of reading", then they may really need to reflect on it. "Reading is useless" may be forgiven.
We should never allow "ourselves to be useless"!
The best thing about reading is that if you read enough books, you'll never say anything like "reading is useless" again.
If parents can study more, they will no longer regard having children and holding grandchildren as the core part of life values and the foundation of life, so they will not be so eager to force marriage.
I have always believed that "generation gap" is a very euphemistic but very superficial word, and there is no generation gap when people read the books of the ancients thousands of years ago, so how can there be a generation gap between two generations of a family?
Therefore, this communication barrier has nothing to do with the "generation", but is caused by parents who read too little.
In general, the "generation gap" between parents and children is stricter in families with lower education and literacy than in families with higher education literacy, and the "generation gap" between parents with lower education and children is stricter in parents within the same family.
On the children's side, it is reversed, and the higher the child's education process and the broader his vision, the stricter the generation gap between the child and his parents. The first two sentences have a logical premise, that is, in most families, children surpass their parents in terms of vision and thinking - this is in line with the general law that "the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and one generation is always stronger than the next".
So, to be precise, the generation gap is not caused by age differences and generations, but by differences in vision and thinking - in those families where both parents and children have high cultural literacy, the generation gap problem is not very obvious, or, at all, there is no zài.
Parents often provide for their children's education, which is often an investment, and when the investment fails, they will complain that "reading is useless". But judging from my own experience over the years, it is true that receiving a good education may not really change your fate, but at least, your spiritual quality and circle of friends can have a qualitative leap.
And I, reading can't help but be useful, and I also make money. ”
What Lan Jiechen said was deafening, especially the last sentence, although it was said very plainly, it made everyone laugh. (To be continued......)
