Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Chapter 368 A bigger courtyard house

However, while they were communicating, a group of students suddenly came over. One of them looked at Liu Kai and said, "Don't you also want the school to become better? He Yudong is speaking for everyone, why do you laugh at him?"

Between the words, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. He Yudong hurriedly stopped and said: "Calm down, everyone, we can solve the problem through rational discussion. Fighting is a very serious matter, and we must resolve our differences in a peaceful way."

Under his mediation, the students gradually calmed down, but this incident also made He Yudong realize that his road to reform was not smooth sailing. There are various opinions and interests within the school, and he needs to guide public opinion more carefully to avoid causing greater disputes.

That night, He Yudong reflected on all this in his bedroom. He began to feel the pressure and difficulties of reform, but the passion deep in his heart was still burning. He decided to find more clever ways to guide school changes in a calm and rational manner while avoiding unnecessary conflicts with others.

In order to guide school changes more skillfully, He Yudong decided to adjust his strategy. He understands that only a rational and non-radical attitude can gain the support of more people. As a result, he began to take the initiative to have conversations with teachers and listen to their opinions and suggestions.

At a faculty meeting, He Yudong made a suggestion about improving teaching methods. He carefully chose an issue that was more relatable to everyone, hoping to arouse resonance. "I think if we can use some new teaching methods more flexibly, we may be able to better stimulate students' interest in learning," he said.

Some teachers expressed their approval of his suggestion and thought it was a direction worth trying. And a teacher who was originally skeptical of He Yudong began to slowly change his view. After the meeting, she walked up to He Yudong and said, "Your suggestion actually makes some sense. I will consider trying it in my own class."

He Yudong smiled and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your support. I believe that through everyone's efforts, we can make the school more vibrant."

However, that doesn't mean everything is smooth sailing. Within the school, some voices against He Yudong still exist. Once, he overheard a group of students discussing his behavior in the hallway. One of the students said: "It's really annoying that He Yudong has done so much. Why do we have to carry out these reforms?"

This made He Yudong fall into thinking. He realized that not everyone understood his original intentions and that perhaps he needed to be more sensitive to the objections. He decided to look for opportunities to have open conversations with these students, listen to their opinions, and see if he could find some common ground.

During a student activity, He Yudong took the initiative to join some student groups that he usually had little contact with. He talked with them about school life and listened to their thoughts and opinions. Gradually, he discovered that these students also had some opinions on the problems within the school. Although they expressed themselves in different ways, their goal was to make the school better.

In a conversation with a student who originally had a problem with him, He Yudong said: "I am not trying to subvert everything. I just hope that through everyone's joint efforts, the school will become more suitable for us to study. If you have other suggestions , I will listen carefully."

The student's expression softened slightly, perhaps sensing He Yudong's sincerity. This makes He Yudong even more convinced that only through rational communication and listening can the barriers between each other be broken.

However, at the same time, some students who were dissatisfied with He Yudong's actions began to take more radical measures. One night, when He Yudong was walking on the campus path, he was suddenly blocked by a group of people. With cold smiles on their faces, they looked at He Yudong and said, "You have gone too far. You actually want to change everything. We want you to know that this is not that easy."

He Yudong's body was tied tightly, but his heart was not restrained. He tried to remain calm despite the sudden moral abduction. The other party laughed and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you make those suggestions to the school? You really don't know how high the sky is."

He Yudong tried to explain: "I just hope that the school will become better and make everyone's learning environment more positive. I have no ill intentions."

However, the other party was unwilling to listen to rational explanations and just continued to exert pressure with cynicism. He Yudong knew full well that this was not a simple difference of opinion, but a moral kidnapping to condemn his thoughts and actions.

During the kidnapping process, He Yudong's heart was calm and he tried every means to stay calm. He understands that such extreme behavior does not represent the views of most students, but it also makes him more alert and realizes that in the process of promoting change, he will always encounter some radicals.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance. Several members of the student committee came over in a hurry. When they saw He Yudong tied to a tree, they suddenly showed shocked expressions.

"What happened?" one of the members asked hurriedly.

He Yudong tried to remain calm and explained: "They were not satisfied with my views and took such a radical approach."

Other members looked at the kidnappers and expressed disgust: "This is not the way to solve the problem. You cannot use violence to deal with different opinions."

The kidnapper sneered: "This is to make him understand that he should not make those messy suggestions to the school."

Members of the student committee began to try to untie He Yudong's rope. At this time, a student discovered a recording device, and it seemed that they planned to record the kidnapping. He Yudong's heart moved, and he understood that there might be a more complicated purpose behind this.

After untying the rope, He Yudong stood up, revealing a firm determination on his body. He said to the kidnappers: "With violence and threats, you can only stop the voices, but not the ideas. I will still work for changes in the school because I believe it is worth it."

The kidnappers looked at He Yudong's firm statement and couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Members of the student council decided to report the incident to the school administration and seek intervention.

After the school management learned about He Yudong's kidnapping, they expressed strong anger and condemnation. The principal personally convened an emergency meeting and had in-depth communication with members of the student committee and some teachers.

The principal said to everyone: "Our school has always emphasized respect and understanding. Violence is never the way to solve problems. Everyone has the right to express their opinions, and we must resolve differences through rational dialogue. Regarding the unfair treatment suffered by He Yudong, I'm deeply sorry."

Zhao Yun and other members of the student committee said they will continue to work hard to promote change, but will pay more attention to communication and understanding to avoid similar incidents from happening again.

After the meeting, the principal found He Yudong for a private communication. He said to He Yudong: "Classmate He, I understand your original intention, but there are some rules that need to be followed. In the process of promoting changes, the most important thing is to maintain good communication with the school management and other students."

He Yudong nodded to express his understanding: "Principal, I will pay more attention to and respect the school's rules, and at the same time, I will work harder to negotiate and communicate with everyone."

In the days that followed, He Yudong promoted reforms more cautiously. Together with members of the student committee, he sought to include more voices in the reform discussion through a more open approach to soliciting opinions. He began communicating more frequently with teachers and school administrators in an attempt to find a more balanced and win-win solution.

However, despite his softer approach, there are still some difficulties. At a symposium, a teacher raised some specific questions and concerns: "Your proposal looks good, but we need to consider the actual feasibility. Reform is not achieved overnight and needs to be done with caution."

Although He Yudong faced some resistance, he learned more communication and negotiation skills. He began to pay more attention to teamwork, listen to the opinions of all parties, respect the school's rules, and gradually find a balance. In the process, he not only learned how to better promote change, but also developed his tenacity and wisdom.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and the fallen leaves fell down one after another, as if golden raindrops were dancing in the air. He Yupeng couldn't help being attracted by this beautiful scene. He stopped and stared at the dance of fallen leaves.

While he was intoxicated by this picturesque moment, an old man came over, holding a broom. The old man looked at He Yupeng with a smile and said, "Young man, do you also like the beauty of these fallen leaves?"

He Yupeng nodded, feeling an indescribable joy in his heart. The old man smiled and handed He the awning broom and said, "Come, join us and sweep away these fallen leaves. Maybe in this simple action, you will find some unexpected opportunities."

He Yupeng took the broom in confusion, and then joined the old man in sweeping the fallen leaves. He found that sweeping fallen leaves was not a boring task, but made people feel happy. Driven by the broom, the golden leaves jump like autumn notes, forming a wonderful picture.

With the swing of the broom, He Yupeng began to communicate with other volunteers. In this seemingly simple task, he met many interesting people and heard many warm and touching stories. It turns out that this leaf sweeping operation was a community volunteer activity, aiming to keep the park clean and tidy through the power of unity.

In the process, He Yupeng slowly discovered that what they were doing was not only cleaning up fallen leaves, but also adding to the beauty of the city. This simple act made He Yupeng feel an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, as if he had found the value of his existence in the process.
