Want to go abroad, why was there such a huge wave of going abroad?

first, advocate the spirit of overall harmony and emphasize the patriotic belief of serving the society, the country and the nation.

this is the first essence of Chinese moral tradition. The Book of Songs, which was written more than 2, years ago, clearly stated that "staying up all night in public" is a noble moral quality. Emphasizing the patriotic belief of serving the country and the people and advocating the spirit of overall coordination is a moral concept that has been generally recognized by people without any debate. In the history of China, there are countless people who sacrificed their lives for justice, and they have won the admiration and praise of countless people. People have seen that from Su Wu, who was an envoy to Xiongnu, to Yue Fei, a famous anti-Jin soldier, Shi Kefa, Tan Sitong, who generously went to the execution ground in the Reform Movement of 1898, and even Liu Hulan, who would rather die than surrender in the War of Liberation, they left indelible footprints on the battlefield of history. It can be said that it is such a patriotic dedication that supports their pursuit, always dying, and finally leaves a touching chapter in history.

Here, Yue Fei is particularly worth mentioning. When I was in high school, everyone had an argument about his merits and demerits. Some people think that national unity is advocated now, while Yue Fei's resistance to gold is an internal struggle, which hinders national integration and delays the historical development process. This statement is really ridiculous. Anyone with a little historical knowledge knows that the invasion, burning, killing and plundering of nomads from the Jin Dynasty is completely different from the present national integration. What's more, what we admire is his soul-stirring patriotic feelings and his shining firm ambition of "serving the country faithfully". As for the historical review, does it matter? Just look at the pious worship of people in the Yue Temple and the hateful kneeling statues of Qin Gui and his wife outside the door, and people's love and hate are clear at a glance. As the saying goes, "the eyes of the masses are discerning." "The predecessors have gone with the dust, and future generations will surely step on the dust." Inspired by the example of ancestors, what should people do today? Some people may say that it is a peaceful time now, and the country is stable and United, so where can patriotism go? In fact, patriotism is not limited to being able to stand up when the country is invaded by foreign enemies. Everything we do that suits the needs of the country is an act of patriotism. In 1999, NATO, led by the United States, bombed our embassy in Yugoslavia, and the anger shown by the whole people was a kind of patriotism. The resulting energetic work and study is also a kind of patriotism. In a sense, this is more in line with the needs of the country. In fact, patriotism can also be implemented in every little thing in real life, including paying taxes on time, saving water and electricity, and not littering. As far as our college students are concerned, it is the greatest reward for the country to persist in studying hard and strive to improve their own quality. In addition, it is particularly noteworthy that college students should pay more attention to current politics. At present, many students lack a sense of political participation, thinking that it is only a matter for some political activists, which has nothing to do with the past. Some people don't even know the most basic national policies, and they don't know that the National People's Congress is held every few years ... This is worrying. You know, the country is everyone's country, and every citizen has the responsibility and the right to care about and comment on it. Only when the country is strong will we not be ashamed to mention our nationality in front of the Japanese like the "I" in Shen Lun.

It is gratifying that the just-held 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is attracting the attention of more and more college students, which is a very good thing! All the people in our country should be integrated into a solid national spirit, which is actually a powerful extension of patriotism. To develop a country, it is definitely not enough to rely on only one party and one government. It also needs the participation and support of the broad masses, and the government only acts as a steering wheel and lubricant. The overall spirit has always been a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. As the saying goes, "Three heads are better than one, Zhuge Liang is the best", "One wood has three piles, and one hero has three gangs", all of which are about the strength of overall wisdom and strength. The overall spirit of the new era requires that it be linked with the interests of the people, so as to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties and truly realize democracy and progress. In normal times, everyone may be busy, but at the critical moment, our whole nation must be able to reach unity in the shortest time, so as to share the same fate. It can be said that it is this that sustains the existence of our country and continues to prosper. Perhaps everyone has not forgotten the Yangtze River flood in 1998. In that year, countless people volunteered to join the flood-fighting team, and the military and civilians fought in the forefront, among which many flood-fighting heroes emerged, and some even sacrificed their lives for it. Every time there is a crisis, people all over the country pay attention to one place and consciously experience the tension and pain. After the flood, there was an upsurge of donating money and materials all over the country immediately. In the final analysis, these are the embodiment of the national overall spirit, more precisely, the result of the integration of the holistic thought in line with the interests of the masses and touching the society.

second, the principle of "benevolence" and interpersonal harmony is respected.

In the process of getting along with people, China's traditional ethical thoughts particularly emphasize "pushing others". Confucius once said, "Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you" and "You want to be a man, and you want to be a man". These are all positive attitudes towards life. Today, this idea still has important practical significance. "Kindness" requires us to keep a heart of pity, sympathy and love, and to think of others at all times. There is a dedicated "Guanyin of Tears" in the Buddhist temple, which also contains this meaning. If we can be considerate and help each other in dealing with people, many contradictions between people will be easily resolved. Another important content of "benevolence" is "respect and understanding". Even for a beggar, we should not turn a blind eye. Imagine bringing a bowl of rice, but "shout at it" to the beggar. The result of that is often that the beggar "receives". Because beggars are human beings, and they also have human dignity, he may be forced to become beggars, and the ridicule and contempt of the world are likely to push him to the wall. Of course, we don't rule out that there are fake beggars who cheat money and blackmail, and maybe some people have been fooled by them. So, should we reject all beggars for this? To this point, it is more appropriate to answer with a poem by the famous writer Sha Yexin: "Even if I have been cheated for 1 times/1, times/I still firmly believe that/there is always a truth in this world/there is always a heart of gold/there is always a feeling of purity ..." Yes, we should look at the world with more love, and would rather be cheated by a thousand fake beggars than make one.

interpersonal harmony has always been emphasized by traditional morality. When we have a kind heart, we will be accepted and loved by the people around us. Traditional morality requires us to be strict with the law, be lenient with others, and demand the word "forbearance". This is obviously conducive to interpersonal harmony, but it should be noted that what kind of margin is this "width"? To what extent can "endure"? To be humble to others, of course, does not mean to submit to everything; Respect other people's opinions, but it doesn't mean echoing them; Be able to accommodate your friends' shortcomings, but it doesn't mean letting them fall; Be ready to help others, but that doesn't mean doing everything on your behalf. Making friends with us is actually a process of learning from each other and making progress together. The so-called "the ruler is shorter, the inch is longer" and "when we have a threesome, we must learn from each other" means that only a friendship that makes people make continuous progress can be truly lasting. Today's emphasis on interpersonal harmony must be based on this basis in order to be healthy and firm.

Third, carry forward the values of human relations and pay attention to the moral responsibility and character of individuals in human relations.

China's traditional morality refers to human relations, which is often based on family and blood ties. Among them, filial piety is undoubtedly the most important, and from this, moral creeds such as "father and son are close, monarch and minister are righteous, parents are orderly, friends are trustworthy, and couples are different" are derived.

Filial piety can be said to be the most basic premise of traditional ethics. In China, this awareness can be said to be deeply rooted. Compared with the indifference of family ties in the west, we have reason to be proud of it. In ancient times, people demanded that "parents are here, don't travel far", and that parents should stay in Dai Xiao for three years after their death, which reflected the ancient people's attention to "filial piety" and its depth! We don't even need to list the examples of the ancient people's exhausted filial piety. Because in the ancients, filial piety has almost become as normal as eating and dressing. If there is an unfilial son occasionally, no matter how excellent he is in other aspects, it will certainly be despised by everyone, and it will be very hateful to abandon it-it seems that it takes a lot of courage to be an unfilial descendant. Filial piety to parents is the initial manifestation of a person's kindness, including understanding and respect for parents' hard work, which deserves to be respected and advocated. In today's prevailing individualism, it is especially necessary to remind people not to forget the kindness of their parents. Further, perhaps many people will realize how to serve the country after they are sensible. However, many people don't even do their duty to honor their parents. They just send some money to the elderly every month, thinking that they can feel at ease. In fact, this is far from enough, because what parents need more is a kind of immaterial thing-love from their children's hearts. I remember a song "Go home often to see" was popular all over the country for a while, just because it sang the common aspiration of people: "Go home often to see, even if you help your mother brush chopsticks and wash dishes, even if you help your father beat his back and rub his shoulders ..." What the old people need is actually such a warm respect. As far as our college students are concerned, they are now far away from home to study in other places. Although there is no need to stick to the dogma of "parents are here, don't travel far", do you often call home to report peace? Will you send a warm word of "Happy Birthday" on your parents' birthday? Maybe some people think that there is nothing to say about calling home often. As everyone knows, every trivial matter that happens around you is the object of parents' attention. Talking more is not only a right, but also an obligation and responsibility. Unfortunately, too many parents only want to tell their children to add clothes (when the weather turns cold), and call their children on their birthdays to remind them to "eat more eggs", but rarely do college students get the same return and news. Is it because they are too busy and neglected, or do they think such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning? Anyway, for the sake of parents, there are some things that we should do, because the elders also need it.

If "respecting the old and loving the young" is the first step of "filial piety", then its second step is "caring for the old and the old, caring for the young and caring for the young". What's more, it respects a series of principles in dealing with people around "courtesy", such as women's "three obedience and four virtues", "women without talent are virtues" and "only villains and women are hard to support", all of which are obsolete and extreme, and are gradually annihilated with history. In addition, there is a very important one, that is, modesty. The ancients emphasized that people should be humble and courteous. As the saying goes, "shoot the first bird with a gun" and "the tree attracts the wind", so the more talented people are, the more humble they should be. When you say "my dear friend's opinion", I have to say "where"; One more sentence, "Brother is really talented", and another sentence, "I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be", which often makes westerners who don't know the inside story "scratching their heads". Generally speaking, China people like twists and turns, while foreigners are always bright-bellied, so it's hard to say which is better or worse. Here, I just want to remind people that "modesty should not become humility, and self-confidence should not become conceit".

Fourth, pursue the perfection of spiritual realm and publicize the perseverance of personal cultivation.

China's traditional morality holds that people are different from animals because they have moral ethics. The ancients attached great importance to the perfection of spiritual life and personal self-cultivation, which is why many literati can live in peace and contentment and forge ahead. Tao Yuanming, who lives in seclusion in the countryside, said, "Picking chrysanthemums in the east and seeing Nanshan leisurely," what an elegant bearing! Qu Yuan, who devoted himself to the gurgling, said, "The water in the surging waves is clear and clear, which can help me to swim, while the water in the surging waves is turbid and can help me to swim." What a noble sentiment! Not only that, but also the spirit of seeking welfare for the public is highly respected in traditional morality. Mencius once said: "Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. You can't have both, and those who give up life for righteousness are also", and "righteousness" is higher than life and death. The "righteousness" here often includes the meaning of friends' feelings, the meaning of national interests, and the broad connotation of the meaning of national rise and fall. There are records in the history books, and Wei Sheng, who made an appointment with his friends, would rather die with a flood in his chest than leave in good faith. This is the righteousness of being a friend. Facing the vast Yueyang Tower, Fan Zhongyan lamented that "the world is worried first, and then the world is happy", which is the meaning of cherishing the country; Jing Ke made a generous lamentation by the Yishui River: "The wind is raining and the Yishui is cold, and the strong men are gone and never come back", which is the meaning of calling for national salvation ... History has repeatedly made their stories fade in the end. To this day, the ancestors' integrity still sounds thrilling and tears flow! Yes, in today's era, we especially need such a spirit and style. With this spirit and style, people will not lose themselves blindly in the material world and become rebellious or ignorant of history.

From a close point of view, it is very urgent for college students to improve their own quality. I can't help but ask, in some colleges and universities, why are there often people with extreme thoughts and people who don't come back from abroad? Why do students go crazy or commit suicide every year? This phenomenon in universities is, in the final analysis, because some people are not guided by correct ideas and beliefs and their psychological endurance is too weak. If we can accept the spiritual influence of the ancients, some college students who slipped for a while could have grown into useful trees. People can see that on the BBS of HKUST campus, people can often find that some people always compare HKUST with Peking University and Tsinghua's vulgar articles, which are quite pedantic like Ah Q. In fact, many arguments on paper are purely unnecessary. Is HKUST good or not? What is its strength? This is by no means our own decision, nor can it be decided by the outside media. As the saying goes, "those who are clear are self-clear, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." The people of HKUST just go their own way. If our style of study and school spirit are good, we will produce more talents and make great achievements, and we will naturally become famous. Complaining about others all day, demanding this and that, can only be an impetuous mentality and irresponsible performance, but it makes people laugh. In fact, impetuous mentality is not only found in college students, but also common in the whole society at present. This is probably the most worrying problem in today's society. Such as "killing" after success, "killing" after failure, focusing only on "money" and pursuing endless enjoyment and comfort, all these phenomena are the result of not paying special attention to self-cultivation. In the 197s and 198s, a wave of "going abroad fever" caused a large outflow of talents. In the 199s, there was "one billion people gambling with 9 million still dancing", and then it became "one billion people with 9 million businessmen, with 1 million still to be opened." With such a wave of agitation, where should we young people go? Compared with professional knowledge, the building construction of spiritual realm is definitely more important and difficult. We should strive to pursue a noble spiritual taste, so as to keep a clear head in a complicated world, keep ideological progress in an impetuous environment and keep moral purity in various fashionable trends. In Dante's words, it is: "
