Chapter 218 Interest and Choice

Qin Yuanqing pressed his hands slightly, and everyone's applause stopped.

"As for the major external changes that have not happened in a century, it is because as China becomes bigger and bigger, its influence will inevitably grow rapidly, which will inevitably cause changes in the international situation. No one can avoid this. Can’t ignore it!”

"China's overseas interests continue to grow, and it is bound to have a powerful ocean-going navy to protect China's overseas interests, unless we China do not want overseas interests!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile: "Nowadays, there are always people saying that they want to cut off our energy lifeline. If We do not have the power to protect this energy lifeline, then planes will not be able to take off and cars will not be able to drive..."

The escort in the Gulf of Aden is not just to combat Somali pirates!

If you want warships to fight against pirates, you are looking down on pirates too much! ?

The deep meaning behind this is actually that China has begun to explore the construction of an ocean-going navy, maintain its military presence in the Gulf of Aden, and deter all parties from acting rashly.

"We can look at the current world situation. Some countries that we once envied are now either in ruins or in social turmoil." Qin Yuanqing analyzed the current world situation and made everyone realize that the world is not peaceful. They feel that peace is only because of them. To live in a peaceful country, there are people who bear the burden for them and create a peaceful environment for them.

There is no such thing as a peaceful age. It's just that you live in a peaceful country and there are people who carry the burden for you. The destiny of an individual is closely related to the destiny of the country. When the country is in turmoil, individuals cannot think about having a good life. It is better to be a peace dog than to be a person in troubled times. This is the reason.

Why are military personnel given priority? Because it is the military personnel who protect their homes and the country. They use their efforts and dedication to protect the safety of people's lives and property, so that the people can settle down and work contentedly in their own land.

"The international situation will undergo major changes unseen in a century. In this great change, it is destined to be a great era. In this great era, the young people of our generation are the trendsetters!"

The second theme of Qin Yuanqing's speech was the great changes unseen in a century!

As Qin Yuanqing's speech ended, the entire studio burst into warm applause.

Sa Beining also began to formally host the program, guiding the program. After presiding, the topic naturally turned to the second link-the question session of student representatives.

A freshman student representative from Shuimu University asked: "Academician Qin, as a peer, how do you get so far ahead of your peers? In your opinion, is interest important?"

"What should I say about this? It should be said that there are indeed geniuses in this world, and I happen to be one of them!" Qin Yuanqing felt embarrassed when talking about this: "Actually, in my opinion, life is a long-distance race, and every day There are things to do in each stage in the first stage. Before junior high school, I just played, playing in the mud, digging out bird's nests, fishing, roasting sweet potatoes, etc. My grades in elementary school were not very good, and I never got a perfect score!"

"When I was in junior high school, I worked a little harder, and my grades got a lot better, but I was still in the top ten of the school. At that time, I was interested in car engines, so I focused on studying car engines!" Qin Yuanqing said He was standing there, and a picture drawn with a pencil appeared on the LCD screen. It was not good-looking. This was Qin Yuanqing's deliberate lie since he first made a statement, so as to support his own statement: "This It was a picture I drew by reading books and looking up information when I was in junior high school.”

"When I was in high school, it was on the first day of my senior year that I realized that I was already a senior in high school and was about to take the college entrance examination! Only then did I shift my energy to studying, and then I accidentally won the CMO and IMO. I accidentally scored 750 points when I took the college entrance examination!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile: "As for whether interest is important or not, I think in our era, we are qualified to pursue interests. The most important thing is to combine interests, because interest is what keeps you moving forward. I have always been disgusted by the fact that schools and parents do not pay attention to cultivating students' interests and only focus on cramming learning. Especially for urban children, various cram schools and interest classes completely ignore whether the children are interested! "

"Everyone has also seen that I took two college entrance examination questions. The questions focused on thinking the most. Candidates cannot get high scores just by studying hard. What is needed is interest and thinking understanding, and this is the core of science. Without interest, You can't really understand the thinking inside with your heart, and if you don't have the mental understanding, you can't really learn it even if you spend 24 hours a day in it!" Qin Yuanqing gave an example: "Of course you can also see that major universities have also There is no one-size-fits-all approach to admissions, but some flexibility. For example, those in the Department of Mathematics must have excellent math scores, and those in the Department of Physics must have good science and comprehensive scores, and mathematics will not hold them back! From the current point of view, many colleges and universities All the teachers wrote me letters of thanks, which shows that I did a good job!”

"Do you know this person?" As soon as Qin Yuanqing finished speaking, a black and white photo with time appeared on the LCD screen.

All 300 college students in the audience shook their heads, saying that they did not know!

"This man is called Qian Weichang, the father of Chinese mechanics!" Qin Yuanqing said: "His interests are history and literature. He only scored 25 points in mathematics, physics and chemistry in the college entrance examination, but he got full marks in Chinese and history, and was exceptional by Shuimu Admitted. However, he was hit by the September 18th national disaster just 2 days after he entered school. He got angry and said: I don’t want to study history anymore! I want to learn to build airplanes and cannons. The needs of the country are my major! Through his own efforts, he , and achieved world-renowned achievements in the field!”

"That generation is sad because they have no choice! The country needs it! For the sake of the country, they must give up their own interests and put the country first!" Qin Yuanqing said: "And our generation is lucky because we have predecessors The foundation we have laid, we live in a modern industrial country, our motherland has become strong, and we are qualified to choose our interests!"

"Whether you like mathematics, history, painting, dancing, poetry or composition, you can choose according to your own conditions! Scientists are good, but not everyone is. Scientists, society also needs all kinds of scholars, workers, artists, etc.!"

As soon as Qin Yuanqing finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.

After all, they also have their own interests, but their parents and teachers have always said that there is no future in learning this and you have to learn this, saying that their interests cannot be used as a living.

But Qin Yuanqing confirmed their interest, and many people became firm in their hearts and made a decision!

Then a senior student from Yanda University asked: "Hello, Academician Qin, I am Ning Yuhang, a senior student from Yanda University. What I want to ask is, what do you think about the issue of studying abroad? Many people in society now Criticize Mizuki and Yanda international students!”

Qin Yuanqing said: "I am in favor of studying abroad. There is a gap between high-end industries in China and Europe and the United States. This is a fact. There is no need to avoid it. Studying abroad can broaden your horizons and learn other people's advanced technologies, which is very good. !”

"Just now you said that many people in society are criticizing Shuimu and Yida international students. I think I have to correct it. I think it is because many people in society are criticizing Shuimu and Yanda international students for not coming back to serve the motherland after studying abroad! In fact, I It is understood from all sides that ordinary people still support studying abroad. What they care about is why they never come back after studying abroad. The motherland also needs high-end talents to build it!" Qin Yuanqing said with some solemnity: "I I am a Shuimu person, and I know very well that many Shuimu students have studied abroad in the past 20 years, about 6,000, but more than half of them have not come back!"

"There is a fallacy in society today, saying that science has no borders. If you study abroad and stay in Europe and the United States, you can get high wages and high benefits. It is understandable! I want to say that people who say these words have no conscience. You are all college students, you can go and find out more , How expensive are tuition fees in Europe and the United States? Which college student is not in debt of hundreds of thousands of dollars? But look at yourselves, with nine years of compulsory education, how much is your tuition for high school and university? It’s not because education is cheap, but the majority of the cost of education is from the national finance. It's the common people who support you!" Qin Yuanqing was a little angry after all.

Science has no borders, but scientists have borders!

"And you can find out how many overseas students studied abroad at public expense, only to never return. This in itself is an issue of integrity!" Qin Yuanqing said.

The issue of not returning after studying abroad is very controversial now. In a few years, as the Internet becomes more developed, it will become even more controversial. Shuimu and Yanda were directly put on the barbecue and whipped. You can say that someone is leading them. Rhythm, you can also say that it is only a small group of people, but the people don't care about this at all. They only know that Shuimu and Yanda have disappointed people.

"When I became Vice-Chancellor Shuimu, I volunteered to carry out military training reform, just to let everyone know that they have been branded with the Chinese nation since they were born. They think they are living in peaceful years, but in fact there is no peaceful time. Well, there are just people who are carrying the burden for him!" Qin Yuanqing said this: "I only hope that people of our generation can pat their chests and say: If you don't regret entering China in this life, you will still be a flower farmer in the next life!"

"Wherever there is a five-star red flag, there is a beacon of faith. If faith has a color, it must be Chinese red!" Qin Yuanqing said affectionately.

The longer I live in this land, the more I can feel what the poet Ai Qing said: Why are there always tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply...
