Chapter 253: The Education System
In Fang Lang's heart, he actually wanted to meet Yang Gan's senior.
However, his current identity no longer allows him to have too much personal time of his own, even if they meet, it is estimated that they can only nod their heads, shake hands, and rush to the end.
Yang Qian didn't have any dissatisfaction with this result, after all, his relationship with Fang Lang was obviously closer than that with his seniors.
"His name is Benin Davy, he is a white Portuguese, and his father is also a veteran member of the Social Democratic Party, but all his life he has been an ordinary community member, responsible for collecting information in some communities and submitting some grassroots proposals.
Under the influence of his father, he became interested in politics from an early age, joined the SPD while at school, and was active in the SPD activities in the area where the school was located at the time.
After graduating, he stayed in the city of São Paulo and became a clerk in the government.
Although he was only a small clerk, he was very active and prestigious among young people, both at school and at work.
It was also under his influence that I became interested in politics. ”
In Yang Gan's description, Fang Lang could feel that this young man named Benin David was very good.
Perhaps one day this young man will become a rising star in Brazilian politics.
Maybe if you let the Nice company pull the other party now, you will bring yourself a good return.
"I see, let's let the people of Nice Company contact him first!
If he can seize this opportunity to take his place in the São Paulo City Council.
The next time I go back to São Paulo, I will see him in person. ”
got Fang Lang's personal promise, and Yang Qian did not continue to entangle.
Today's harvest is huge.
Fang Lang looked at Yang Kun who had been following Yang Gan again.
Yang Kun's age is two years younger than Fang Lang, unlike his elder brother Yang Gan, who finished college, his younger brother is not as good as his elder brother in terms of academic performance, and he was only admitted to a normal college.
Brazil's education system is not much different from that in the country, and is mainly divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary education.
Among them, primary education is equivalent to primary and junior high school in China;
Secondary education includes high school, vocational college, and teacher college, with a duration of 3 years, which is similar to that in China;
Higher education is a university.
Of course, this is just a plan for Brazil, and in fact Brazilians now have a very low level of education, and many people are not even able to complete their initial education.
Benefiting from the universal Chinese values of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", Chinese families cherish the opportunity for their children to receive education.
Therefore, both Fang Lang and the Yang brothers have completed secondary education in Brazil.
As for higher education, there is a real need for learning talent.
Moreover, the chances of completing higher education in Brazil during this period were very slim.
In 1789, Brazilian literati called for the establishment of a university modelled on the Portuguese University of Coimbra, but Portugal's opposition to the idea of establishing a university in the colony came to naught.
It was not until 1920 that Brazil established its first university in the country, the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro; This was followed by the founding of the University of São Paulo in São Paulo in 1934;
These are by far the only two universities in the whole of Brazil.
Yang Qian is a graduate of the University of São Paulo, while his younger brother Yang Kun is studying at a teachers' college.
The educational background is similar to Fang Lang's, and they are all quite high school education.
Don't look down on a high school degree, in Brazil in this era, a high school degree is already a cultural person.
"Brother Kun, how is your study now! Didn't skip class like your brother and me! ”
Yang Kun glanced at his parents embarrassedly, shook his head shyly and said:
"Brother, I've graduated and now work as a teacher in an elementary school in the town of São Paulo."
"Huh! Are you already working? Time flies!
How's school life? Are you still used to it?
Did anyone bully you, and you told me that I would help you beat him. ”
Yang Kun is two grades lower than Fang Lang, and he is often bullied by his classmates because he is thin when he is studying, and Fang Lang, who is two grades older than him, has helped Yang Kun teach his classmates who bullied him twice.
Therefore, when Fang Lang saw Yang Kun again, he made a joke.
This reminded Yang Kun, who was already an adult, of the troubles he had when he was a child, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Fang Lang noticed his cousin's expression, smiled and changed the subject:
"What are you teaching in school now! When our current immigration company is short of teachers, have we considered the help of the immigration company? ”
"Ahh I teach math in elementary school, can I help? ”
Yang Kun looked at Fang Lang expectantly, obviously, he was also willing to participate in the Chinese immigration work of Fangyuan Group.
"Of course, as long as you're willing to contribute, I'm welcome.
As far as I know, we have a lot of immigrants in São Paulo, and if you want, you can go to a night school after work and teach Portuguese and mathematics. ”
Seeing Yang Kun's slightly disappointed face, Fang Lang said suspiciously:
"What's wrong, don't want to?"
"It's not that I don't want to, but I think about whether I can become a full-time teacher for immigrants, or teach elementary school knowledge to migrant children.
I still look at us Chinese more kindly. ”
Yang Kun's words stunned Fang Lang, especially when he said that we Chinese.
Because Yang Kun's appearance is not the same as that of his elder brother Yang Gan, Yang Gan at least looks like his uncle Yang Zong in his facial features.
Yang Kun is not at all able to see the appearance of a Chinese except for his black hair, white skin, blue eyes, and three-dimensional facial features.
If he doesn't open his mouth, no one can connect him with the Chinese.
So when he said that he still looked at the Chinese more kindly, Fang Lang was in a trance for a while.
Fang Lang didn't expect his cousin to identify so much with his Chinese identity.
happily patted Yang Kun on the shoulder and said:
"Well, I like that.
So be it! Many of our migrants and laborers are dragged with their families, and some children have come with them.
Two days ago, I was thinking about carrying out primary education in our Chinese residential areas to improve the educational level of Chinese youth.
It just so happens that you are your own family, so I'll leave this matter to you!
First of all, we started an immigrant primary school in São Paulo, and considering that there are not many teachers who can speak both Portuguese and Chinese, I have asked the immigration company to go to Macau to recruit teachers who can speak Portuguese and Chinese.
In the future, we will build our own primary and secondary education system in each settlement, starting with you! ”
"Brother, do you mean to let me preside over the construction of a primary school that is our own Chinese?"
Yang Kun looked very happy.
But Fang Lang looked at him, and when he heard him say that we are Chinese, he always felt a sense of detachment.
However, he still pressed it down, after all, if he said it, it might hurt Yang Kun's heart.
"Yes, do you have the confidence to complete this task?"
Yang Kun's face was flushed, and he said with excitement on his face:
"Brother, leave it to me, don't worry! Guaranteed completion of the task.
I'll go back tomorrow and resign. ”
However, after hearing Yang Kun's words, my aunt was a little worried:
"Hey! Don't be so impulsive, you kid. ”
Yang Zong was full of smiles, looking a little relieved, although his child's appearance did not follow him, but his heart was still with him.
Raise your hand to stop your aunt and say:
"This is the future work for all Chinese, and it is more meaningful than working in the primary school in the town, and we want to support it."
Seeing that his men expressed support, his aunt didn't say much.
The old man stood up and answered:
"Lang'er has a good idea, assuming our own primary and secondary education systems in the immigration sites, it is necessary to improve the cultural level of our Chinese people.
Old man, I raised my hands in approval.
However, I would like to make two requests. ”
Fang Lang didn't expect the old man to take the initiative to speak at this time, so he quickly turned around and came to the old man's side, held the old man's arm and said:
"What do you ask for, old man, please say!"
The old man was a simple person, and he was not polite to his family, and said directly:
"First of all, the education of Chinese immigrants cannot give up the education of Han culture, and the future Chinese, like some Chinese, cannot even write Chinese characters and cannot speak Chinese.
The Chinese educated in this way cannot be regarded as Chinese at all. ”
For the old man's request, Fang Lang raised his hands to take advantage of it, which was originally his plan.
Seeing the old man looking at him with burning eyes, Fang Lang hurriedly nodded and said:
"No problem, Grandpa, this was in line with my plan."
Hearing Fang Lang's affirmative reply, the old man nodded with satisfaction.
"The second point is that all the Chinese must learn from our own Chinese history and have a clear understanding of where we Brazilian Chinese come from. In the future, we must not forget our roots, and we must know where our roots are! ”
Fang Lang has also considered this point for a long time, in order to cultivate the national consciousness of overseas Chinese, it is necessary for all overseas Chinese to understand the history of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years.
Only by understanding what kind of excellent nation the Chinese are and what kind of splendid civilization they have created can they cultivate the sense of national pride and national honor of the Chinese people.
In order to identify with his Chinese identity in his heart and be proud of it.
Instead of being completely reduced to a yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana man.
As the old saying goes, if there is an old family, there is a treasure. The ancients did not deceive me.
Although Fang Lang had already considered these things, it did not prevent Fang Lang from admiring the old man's foresight.
After all, Fang Lang had such vision and ideas from the perspective of a later generation and through the fog of history.
"Grandpa, don't worry! I have already asked the immigration company to search for these historical books in my hometown, and when the time comes, I will hire a few historians to come to Brazil and write a history textbook for us on the 5,000 years of Chinese civilization.
Let all the Chinese, even Brazilians, know about the brilliant historical civilization that our Chinese have. ”
When the old man heard his grandson say that he had been doing this work for a long time, a smile of relief leaked from his face.
It seems that his grandson and himself have thought of it together, and they are relieved in their hearts.
"Good, good, good!"
said three good words in a row, and did not forget to vigorously slap a few waves of arms.
"Third, to cultivate the martial spirit of our Chinese children, I know what capoeira there is in Brazil, and what Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is, don't we Chinese have it?
Our Chinese martial arts also have a long history, and they are no worse than the fighting skills of these foreigners.
Although, I only know a few tricks of crop tricks, but I am also sure that they will not find the north. ”
Fang Lang didn't expect that the old man's third request turned out to be this, originally according to Fang Lang's plan, he was going to open physical education classes in the school to improve the physical fitness of the Chinese.
Through military training to cultivate everyone's sense of teamwork and discipline, I didn't expect the old man to be more radical than himself.
