Chapter 1127

The students of Sany middle school also whisper and look confused.

Nowadays, many people like to take the issue of skin color as the topic of speech, so as to show how compassionate and politically correct they are.

I don't know that in the United States today, both black and white people are disgusted by this topic. Some things, the more you mention it, the more embarrassing it is to expose a scar.

This is certainly the case with skin color.

If Wang Yong's speech is really such a topic, I can only say it's too regrettable. Wang Yong wanted to exchange it for the favor of the students in Sany middle school, but he failed.

However, when the picture continues to push, what comes to people's eyes is not the kind of scene that everyone imagined.

But this black man was walking in the street, and he happened to see a teenager on a skateboard fall to the ground. The black man stepped forward to lift up the skateboarder and passed by with a smile.

The camera doesn't stay on the black people all the time. The next second, it turns to skateboarding boy as the protagonist.

The skateboarder crossed the road and saw an old woman with a lot of things in her arms. The skateboard boy took her things and escorted her across the road.

The angle of view changed again. The old woman saw a woman who was searching for her handbag but couldn't find a coin to call. The old lady put a coin in the woman's palm.

……

The lens keeps changing, the protagonist is different every time, but the content is the same.

It's all a matter of helping others.

With the cheerful music, the video immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In the video, a man who got help bought two hamburgers and handed them to a tramp. While the tramp ate the hamburger and picked up the cell phone forgotten by a girl next to him and gave it back to the girl, the whole audience gave out a kind smile.

Every good moment, people can't help but be happy.

The video soon ends with a restaurant waiter holding a glass of water to a worker who has just unloaded the goods.

The worker took it with a smile and showed his face. He was the black man who helped up the skateboard boy at the beginning of the video.

"Wow There was a cry of surprise from the whole hall.

But I didn't expect such an ending. In the video, everyone is actively passing on the kindness. The seemingly unrelated characters finally form a closed chain.

To help others is to help yourself.

"It's a great video. What does it have to do with Mr. Wang's speech today?" A reporter in the front row asked.

Wang Yong stepped forward again and said, "this video was shot by you Americans. It's called" good boomerang. ". It means that a trivial act of kindness that we do at random may form a return force at a certain node and eventually bring this kindness back to us.

I have to say, it's a touching video. However, what I want to say is that this idea also exists in the oriental culture represented by Huaxia. We call it "the old and the old, the young and the young".

What does this sentence mean? Even when we respect our old people, we should not forget those who are not related by blood; When taking care of your own children, don't ignore those who have never met you.

Is it similar to the idea of "good boomerang"?

And this is the core of thousands of years of Chinese culture. It is on this basis that the Chinese nation spreads from the goodness of the family to the goodness of the village, from the goodness of the village to the goodness of the city, from the goodness of the city to the goodness of the country. Until the whole nation became popular and lasted for thousands of years. A nation with goodness can't go far, but a nation without goodness can't go far.

Whether it's western culture, Eastern culture, Kantism or Confucianism, there are so many of them. In fact, the essence of these cultural thoughts is one word - good.

From the pursuit of the most fundamental things in human nature, from the best expectations of human beings.

Therefore, there is no estrangement between eastern and Western cultures, because their essence is the same.

And that's the theme of my speech today - the same me and you. "

"I see!" People who had doubts before suddenly realized.

Wow, there was a lot of applause.

Wang Yong took advantage of the opportunity to start his speech with the common values of eastern and Western cultures as the starting point.

In his speech, Wang Yong showed his amazing understanding of western culture, and even some western scholars present were amazed at Wang Yong, praising that if Wang Yong is willing to work hard in the field of western culture, he can also become an authoritative expert and scholar.

Under the stage.

Garcia and others stare at Wang Yong. Every time there is a round of applause, Garcia and others are angry.

"You can't let him go on!" Garcia let out a low roar.

"Yes, many students were attracted by his speech and became interested in oriental culture. I suspect that if he stays in our school for a month, the whole school will be assimilated. He must be stopped. " Jones said.

"But we can't rush on the stage to stop him, can we? I heard that he is a master of Kung Fu! "

"Well, Kung Fu? It's just a trick! But we really can't be rude. We should use some clever methods to make him unable to come down. Only in this way can we make him embarrassed and let him publicize his theory. Jones, you're doing well in school. You have an idea! " Garcia road.

Jones looked down for a long time, and suddenly his eyes brightened and he whispered in Garcia's ear.

Garcia also put on a smile and gave Jones a thumbs up.

"Teacher, I want to ask a question."

A voice rang out under the stage and interrupted Wang Yong's speech.

It's Garcia.

Wang Yong looked down at the stage and saw that it was the prank boy. He was slightly surprised, but he still nodded and said, "please tell me."

Garcia gave a sly smile and asked, "teacher, you just mentioned that good also exists in oriental culture. I doubt that."

"Why?"

"Because if there is goodness in oriental culture, why does democracy, which represents goodness, fail to be implemented in China? Does this mean that what you preach is actually a false proposition? " Garcia's eyes twinkled with pride, he said.

When the words came out, everyone was shocked.

Even celebrities, journalists, scholars and other friends in the front row looked at Garcia in amazement.

They didn't expect that such a sharp and crucial question came from a student.

If Wang Yong can't answer this question well, his previous several decades of speeches are basically abandoned. The Chinese culture promoted by Wang Yong's trip will soon become rubbish.

After all, in the eyes of Westerners, democracy and freedom are natural human rights. A culture that goes against these two values will disgust westerners from the bottom of their hearts.

It happens that China is frequently targeted by western countries. In recent years, with the rise of China, there has been less.

Some students and reporters who have a good feeling for Wang Yong can't help but sweat for him.

Several American scholars, however, shook their heads.

They all think that there is no solution to this problem. It can be said that Garcia's question is like a sharp knife penetrating into Wang Yong's heart, which is impossible to save him.

The students of Sany middle school made a sensation at first, and then they all looked at Wang Yong eagerly.

There is both expectation and schadenfreude in the eyes.

Wang Yong glanced around, his eyes fell back on Garcia, and he laughed: "I was surprised by this classmate's sharp thinking and insight. I think you can go directly to CNN after graduation. Some people there are not as good as you. "

"Ha ha." There was a lot of laughter.

We all know the grudge between Wang Yong and CNN. Wang Yong's ridicule was just right, which eased the heavy atmosphere of the scene.

It's just that it's useless just to ease the atmosphere. It's still up to a perfect enough answer to save face.

"Teacher, are you changing the subject?" Garcia's eyes twinkled and he chased hard.

Wang Yong shook his head: "no, on the contrary, I don't want to change the topic. I also want to talk about it with you seriously. Because this is really an interesting question. The different faces it presents in the East and the West reflect the differences between the East and the West.

We have a saying in China that "oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and oranges born in Huaibei are trifoliates." it's like taking oranges from Florida to Washington state, it's not so delicious. Democracy in the United States is different from that in China, but you can't deny that it is still called democracy.

Modern western democracy originated in England. This system is fair to Lord a or Lord B, but not necessarily to the common people. Because they are rarely eligible for democratic elections.

Until 1949, there were still a large number of illiterate people in China, and the literacy rate was less than 20%. It is unrealistic for an ordinary Chinese to distinguish between the FTA and the Pacific agreement, which is better for China. It can be said that there is a huge knowledge gap between ordinary people and experts and scholars. But at that time, China was faced with a huge choice. On the one hand, the territory was invaded, on the other hand, people were threatened by poverty and death. People have to make a decision, left or right.

Fortunately, the Chinese people deeply influenced by traditional culture know what they need. They understand that they can't understand everything, but they will let those who understand lead them to achieve their goals.

So, there is now China, there is now China style democracy.

Some people may be dismissive of this, and think that the Chinese system is not democracy at all, nor does it play a democratic role at all. In this regard, I would like to say... "

Wang Yong smiles a little, pauses for a moment and says.

"What you call democracy in the west is called democracy in China - you go first! Yes, you heard me right. You go first. When faced with choice, you go first; When something goes wrong, you should go first.

When the enemy came, you went first, so six relatives of the founder of China were killed; When the flood comes, you go first, so more than thousands of officers and soldiers die in the front line of disaster relief; When the earthquake came, you also went up first, and then there was the Chinese style rescue miracle of national response.
