Xu Jiru's speech "I am an orator"

Xu Jiru, a graduate of Nanwai 10, was sent to Tsinghua University Law School that year and enrolled as a graduate student at Kennedy School of Government of Harvard University after graduation. The following is Xu Jiru's "I am an orator" speech, welcome to read!

I want to ask the boys at the scene to imagine or recall a scene: your girlfriend stood on the side with a straight face and suddenly cried very grievance. She won't open her mouth when you ask her anything. "The baby is bitter, and the baby won't say anything." At this time, you are very flustered, and you think, "No, what's wrong?" I bought a bag I like last month. I liked it in my circle of friends yesterday. I deleted the text message sent by my ex-girlfriend the day before yesterday. "At this time, the big lady finally spoke. She said, "I don't know why, but I feel insecure. "

At this time, your heart is broken, because this is the first 10 1 time that she put forward the concept of "security" to you. The guy clapping, maybe your girlfriend mentioned it to you 200 times.

Boys will be very silent at this time, right? Your girlfriend panicked when she saw that you didn't talk, so she ran to the Internet and posted a post called "Tell my boyfriend that I feel insecure and my boyfriend ignores me". Sisters, what should I do? Waiting online, it's quite urgent. Under this kind of post, there is generally not much response. But usually an experienced old driver will say a nonsense, and this nonsense is praised by your sister as the truth.

The old driver said, "Sister, the sense of security is not given by my boyfriend. The sense of security is what we give ourselves! " The old driver said nothing wrong. We give ourselves a sense of security in life. If you work hard, you will have a sense of material security; Study hard and you will feel safe in the final exam; "If you don't die, you won't die", and you will feel safe in love.

The essence of security is the equivalent exchange between our own efforts and our lives. But what I want to say today is a sense of security that is not based on any conditions and does not require hard work. We are often "in happiness and don't know happiness".

This spring, our college organized students to go to various countries for field research. I choose to go to Israel in the Middle East. This country is full of disasters, but it is also an international power, so I am full of interest in it. There are two details that have established my view of this country: the first one happened at the airport when I checked my luggage. As we all know, it usually takes only 5- 10 minutes to check in luggage, so I won't ask you too many questions, will I? But that day, Israeli security personnel questioned me for half an hour. "What's your name? Last name? Where do you come from? What school did you go to? What kind of work have you done? What papers have you written? Which countries have you been to? What dreams have you had? Who did you love? " Ask them all. I feel offended because I am an ordinary tourist. Why do you think I'm a terrorist?

At this time, my Israeli classmate explained to me that he said, "This has been the normal state of our Israel Airlines for many years. Since the establishment of 1984 People's Republic of China (PRC), we have been attacked by various international terrorist forces, and the Arab countries still refuse to recognize our national status. Therefore, we can only use this safest and most stupid method to check the danger. "

"The country is too small and there are too many attacks. We can't afford to lose. "

The second detail happened in the cabin. When the plane landed at Tel Aviv airport, applause broke out in the cabin. I was puzzled because the whole trip was safe and there was no bump. In other words, it was an unusually safe landing. In this case, applause, is it meaningful?

My Israeli classmate explained it to me again. He said: "Every flight, whether domestic or international, will definitely applaud as long as it lands safely. Because we have an obsession with' safety'. During World War II, the Nazis committed genocide against Jews, and our fathers either fled or were killed on the way. Since then, we have become an insecure person. So everything we do today is to rebuild our sense of security. "

His words made me realize what kind of experience insecurity is for his country and people.

Insecurity actually does not affect the improvement of your comprehensive national strength, because insecurity makes people forge ahead. So today Israel is a world power in defense, military, science and technology, agriculture, commerce and finance ... you can think of any field. But such insecurity, once permeated into every citizen's life, once spread to every citizen's heart, will make people lose a sense of peace.

This kind of peace of mind means that you don't need to explain the legitimacy of your country's existence to the outside world, you don't need to be wary of homeland security at all times, and you don't need to be exiled for fear of national destruction. This sense of security is the most fundamental sense of security of a country's citizens.

The sense of security in life, as we said at the beginning, is an equivalent exchange. The sense of security at the national level is a kind of freedom from wandering and fear just because you enjoy national identity, regardless of personal factors.

When I was in America, there was a Syrian classmate in my class. When he learned that I was going back to China after graduation, he said to me, "I envy you very much." My country is in civil war all the year round. Although today, we are all international students in the United States, each of us has an identity-my identity is a Syrian refugee and your identity is an China citizen. "

The biggest difference between refugees and nationals is whether you have the right to choose freely. Do you have to pin your destiny on other countries? Pin it on a cold immigration bill, or you can simply say, "The world is so big, I want to see it. But my home is so good that I can come back at any time. "

The right of free choice brought by a sense of security is a country's best gift to young people.

Because it means that you don't have to be a very good individual in other people's land to be respected. You will be a down-to-earth person from China, and you will be treated well. Because behind you is a stable country, and the world is full of awe for your country.

When I was studying in the United States, I was often arranged by my teacher to explain our "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the Belt and Road Initiative, the two-child policy we just introduced, or the conflict in the South China Sea. In fact, my prediction is flawed. My opinion may be ordinary, but I always have a say in class because they think China is very important. Students in China, be sure to listen.

/kloc-More than 0/00 years ago, Mr. Liang Qichao once said: "Today's responsibility lies not with others, but with my youth. If a teenager is strong, China will be strong. " Today, a hundred years later, the truth is actually the same in reverse. "China is strong and young, China is strong and China is strong."
