Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Buddha Says All Beings Are Equal (I)
Fame and honor do bring glory. For people, it is a manifestation of strength; To oneself is the affirmation of self-worth. But fame and honor have another role, and you must always be strict with yourself with high standards. For Zhan Zhizhan, no matter what happened before, from now on, every word and deed must be worthy of the word "chivalry", never disgrace the expectations of friends in society, whether well-intentioned or malice, and live up to his self-pride.
This is the last "Hydraulic Transmission" class of this semester, and the final exam is coming up this weekend, and the summer vacation is going to be next week. Most of the students have bought tickets and are waiting to go home after the exam. Mr. Shi, who teaches "Hydraulic Transmission", is very popular with the students. When he talks about the class, he always talks about the boring "Hydraulic Transmission" wonderfully, just like the storytelling master Shan Tianfang talks about the storytelling, which is as interesting and exciting, so that the students are intoxicated and fascinated, and they never get tired of listening to it.
Just like every time Mr. Shi takes a class, he unconsciously finishes the lecture on "Dynamic Characteristics Analysis of Hydraulic System". Teacher Shi closed the lecture handout, and the bell rang on time. The students hugged Teacher Shi and walked out of the classroom, Zhan Zhizhan stretched his waist, only then did he feel a little tired, and after putting the handouts and notes in his schoolbag, he was ready to go back to the dormitory to rest for a while before going to the cafeteria for dinner.
These days, there have been two sensational news stories in a row. First of all, Zhang Zhenhua, a third-year student of the Department of Aviation Medicine of Xijing Medical University, accidentally fell into the septic tank to save Wei Zhide, a 69-year-old farmer, whose young life came to an end, at the age of 24. Then, Zhao Xiaoli, a student of Hanzhong College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, sacrificed her young and precious life to save Shao Xiaoping, a nine-year-old child who fell into the water, while reading in Weibin Park opposite the school. The sacrifices of martyrs Zhang Zhenhua and Zhao Xiaoli have caused huge repercussions in society.
Zhan Zhizhan hummed a little song and pushed open the door of the dormitory, and couldn't help but be stunned, only to see his roommates "Hypocrite", Bi Yuntao, "Vegetable Market" and "Really Annoying" playing bridge for a long time, no wonder I didn't see these stinky guys in the classroom.
Zhan Zhizhan raised his hand, threw his schoolbag on his bunk, and said with a smile: "Okay, wow, you four don't go to Mr. Shi's "Hydraulic System Dynamic Characteristic Analysis" class, but hide in the dormitory to play bridge. Are you worthy of Mr. Shi? ”
"Old Zhan, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other! You and I are both the pride of heaven in the new era, how can we be nerds who ignore things outside the window and only read the books of sages and sages? We must be red and specialized, so that we can become the pillars of the motherland's four modernizations! It's not that we disrespect Mr. Shi, it's just that we lost track of time while studying this story. After learning, it's just a matter of touching a few bridge cards to change your mind. Bi Yuntao smiled awkwardly and pushed a newspaper on the table over.
"Obediently boom, fried green onions in lard! The president of the famous 'Sao Ke Club' changed his door and worshiped the 'Six Immortals of Peach Valley' in Uncle Jin Yong's "Smiling Proud Jianghu" as his teacher? It's hard to justify such strong words! Zhan Zhizhan scolded Bi Yuntao and glanced at the newspaper on the table. It turned out to be a "Brilliant Daily", and a message was published in two eye-catching positions on the front page with a three-line title, with the introduction of "The Old Peasants Dig Out the Dung and Fall into the Pond and the Military and Civilians Compete for the Rescue", the theme is "Zhang Zhenhua, a student of Xijing Medical University, is gloriously dedicated", and the subtitle is "The school awarded him the title of revolutionary martyr and outstanding party member, and posthumously remembered the first-class merit".
This "Brilliant Daily" is not a new newspaper, but it is the first newspaper in China to report on the deeds of Zhang Zhenhua's martyrs. In this news, the counselor, Mr. Liu, has already organized the students to learn. This message was followed by a postscript entitled "Hymn to Socialist Civilization." Not only this "Brilliant Daily", in the past few days, the martyr Zhang Zhenhua has always occupied the most prominent position in the important page of the "Brilliant Daily", and reports on the martyrs appear on the first page almost every day, and it is not uncommon for newsletters, learning experiences in various places, etc., and following the names of the martyrs, words such as "dedication", "inevitability", and "historical creation" have become high-frequency words.
It is indeed a coincidence that the two college students sacrificed their precious lives to save others one after another, but the controversy in society behind them is so strong and thought-provoking. Some people are shocked, some people regret it, and some people don't think so. The debate surrounding the two heroes was not heated in the open media. In public reports, it is difficult to find reports on the discussion of "college students who save excrement and whether it is worth saving young children". In the open media, there is an overwhelming voice of praise for these two "contemporary Lei Feng".
Bi Yuntao held the playing cards while not raising his head and smiled: "Old Zhan, this is wrong! Zhang Zhenhua and Zhao Xiaoli, two college student martyrs, bravely sacrificed their lives to save others, crying ghosts and gods in the world, and their names coexist with the mountains and rivers and the rivers! But there are some self-righteous trolls who even question the motives of the two martyrs to save people. It's weird! Do they think that the people of the world are just as mercenary as they are? What's more, Wang Ba Lizi, who claims to be an elite, still counts the economic account. From the perspective of social benefits, college students sacrifice themselves to save old farmers, which is a loss-making business for the country, and it is not worth it! ”
"Grass Flower!" After the "vegetable market" called the card, he scolded: "These deflated calves want to be famous and want to go crazy, not by belittling the martyrs and exalting themselves!" Hey...... People want faces, trees want bark. If the tree has no skin, it will definitely die, and people must not be invincible in the world! ”
The indignation of the "wet market" is not groundless. Yesterday afternoon, there were only two classes, and after class, while there was still time before eating, Mr. Liu and the class leader "Lilac" discussed holding a theme class meeting, focusing on learning the deeds of Zhang Zhenhua and Zhao Xiaoli, and the theme was what to learn from the two college students. After the class meeting, each student writes a study experience and then holds a poster, which is not a very good theme. Unexpectedly, "Lilac" had just finished reading the summary of the long newsletter "How Beautiful Her Heart" published by "Shenzhou Youth Daily" about Zhao Xiaoli's deeds, and the classroom immediately exploded. "Anthracite" spoke first, praising the martyr Zhao Xiaoli's act of sacrificing herself to save others is noble and worthy of our serious study. But some students immediately refuted it, saying that the statement of "anthracite" did not keep pace with the times. This classmate even directly attacked "anthracite", saying all lies, empty words, and big words, and he was the descendant of Yue Buqun, the "gentleman's sword" in Uncle Jin Yongjin's "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and he was so angry that the tears of "anthracite" were rolling in his eyes, and he almost stopped crying.
Zhan Zhizhan was a little confused at the time, and he didn't know why such a simple truth would cause controversy. What he didn't expect was that the "vegetable market" immediately slapped the table angrily and said: "There is no distinction between high and low, but there is a difference between noble and despicable souls. The nobility of a person does not lie in his identity and age, not in how much knowledge he has, but in his soul! ”
That classmate is not good at stubble, and immediately faced the "vegetable market" is a firepower output. Before he finished speaking, "Doing it" took over coldly and said: "Some of our classmates think that through fierce competition, they will become the pride of the 3% of the sky. As everyone knows, if you can give back to the society and be accepted by the society, you have to ride a donkey to read the record book after graduation, and we'll see! If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. If you only do it for yourself, the sky will fall apart! ”
The mouth of "doing it" is like poison, and after graduation, the classmate was assigned to work in the design institute, and he had a proper iron job bowl to ensure the harvest from drought and flood. However, that classmate always felt that he would not meet in the design institute, and although the leaders of the design institute tried their best to retain him, he still gave up his position as deputy director of the design office and resigned to go to the sea to do business. It's a pity that this classmate is by no means a business material, and he lost a lot of money in just a few months. Mencius has a cloud "If you can't do something, you should ask for yourself." This classmate did not think about self-reflection, but complained about the fact that the business partners did not follow the market economy routine. Although he has been rescued by his classmates many times, it is still difficult for this classmate to adapt to various professions.
Suddenly, this classmate realized that all this was not caused by his low eyesight, but by the unhealthy domestic market economy. If he goes to a country with a perfect market economy, he will definitely be able to make great progress. With the financial support of his classmates, this student finally got his wish. At the beginning, he carried corpses, brushed dishes, and carried garbage, which really endured a lot of hardship. However, sighing about life, unsatisfactory things, often eight or nine times out of ten. What's more, this classmate who thinks highly of himself? In less than a year, in the face of the cruel reality, this classmate was confused again. He couldn't see the future, and he died depressed at a young age, and died in a foreign country.
The class meeting went off topic at the beginning, and it was unexpected by Teacher Liu and "Lilac", and the class meeting naturally did not break up happily.
The sour complaint of the "vegetable market", Zhan Zhizhan immediately reacted. He smiled and said, "Lao Cai, you're right! Some people say that young college students save old farmers, this is a dedication to exchanging gold for stones, and it is not worth it! It's just that these people are playing on the topic to elevate themselves. Hehe...... Isn't this a copy of Captain Hatoyama's 'people are not for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed'? Lao Cai is not worth not even taking classes for this! ”
Bi Yuntao shook his head and said: "Lao Zhan, this is a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain!" I didn't go to class because I didn't want to compete with others, but because I lost track of time by studying the newspaper report. Through study, we have profoundly realized that, as it is said in the "Chang Ahama Sutra", "There are no men and women, no superiority or inferiority, no superior or inferior, no different names, and all beings are born in the world and have names for all beings." 'As long as there is a Buddha in the heart, everything in the world is a Buddha!' Some people think they are gold, and they always feel that they will shine everywhere. In fact, his belly is filled with rubble, and naturally everyone else is rubble. ”
Seeing the "hypocrite", "vegetable market" and "really annoying" looking at him with a smile, Zhan Zhizhan was stunned and said with a smile: "Obediently long dong, fried green onions in lard!" Why did our great poet see through the red dust and become a Buddha on the ground? You are not afraid that Mao Shufen will come to our bedroom every day to cry and wipe her tears, but the brothers in our dormitory can't stand this kind of disturbance. ”
Bi Yuntao shook his head and said with a smile: "Others are used in the past for the present, and the foreign is used for China." Brother, this is the Buddha for my use! Hehe......"
