The patriotic story of Taiwanese compatriots

Gao Zhendong, a Taiwanese principal, gave a speech in China (all young friends should come and see it and reflect on it)! ! !

There is such a school in Taiwan. The students are between the ages of 15 and 18. Every year, among the more than 3,000 students, 200 to 300 are expelled by the school for violating school rules and disciplines. The school has no workers, no guards, and no masters. All necessary work is done by the students themselves. The school implements a senior system, with third-year students leading first-year students. It only takes 3 minutes for the whole school to assemble. Students must salute when they see their teacher seven meters away. There is no homework for the winter holidays, and no one can fail to get into college. This is Taiwan’s Zhongxin Senior Business School, which has been renowned for its 30-year reputation for moral education. In recruitment advertisements in major newspapers in Taiwan, the words "Only recruiting loyal graduates" often appear.

The following is the speech given by Principal Gao Zhendong in China:

Students, what is the next sentence when you say "the world rises and falls"? (Voice from the audience: "Everyone has a responsibility.") No, it's "my responsibility." If everyone gets an extra 10 points for this year's college entrance examination, doesn't that mean there's no extra point? "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" means that no one is responsible. "Everyone has a responsibility" should be changed to "my responsibility". This is how I teach my students. Therefore, I, Gao Zhendong, am responsible for the poor education in mainland China. Only because of this, I returned to my motherland to give a lecture on ethics. (Applause) "Taking the rise and fall of the world as your own responsibility" is Mencius' thought.

Yu is a human being, Shun is a human being, and I am a human being too! They can do it, why can't I? "The rise and fall of the world is my responsibility." Only with this thought can our country have hope. If each of our students says: It is my responsibility if the school order is not good; it is my responsibility if the country's education is not good; it is my responsibility if the country is not strong... If everyone can take the initiative to take responsibility, how can there be anything in the world? A country that is not prosperous? Is there any group that is not united? Therefore, every student should pull the responsibility onto himself instead of pushing it out. This is how I run a school in Taiwan. If the classroom is dirty, I ask, "What's going on?" If a student stands up and says, "Teacher, student No. 32 is on duty today, and he didn't clean." In that case, the student will be beaten. In my school, students would say something like: "Teacher, I'm sorry, this is my responsibility" and then go and clean up immediately. If a lightbulb is broken, if a student sees it, he will pay for it and install it. If the window glass is broken, the student will immediately buy a piece and replace it. This is education. Don't push the responsibility away, but take it over. . Some people may say that this is a loss. Let me tell you, a loss is an advantage. This education must be firmly kept in mind. Every Chinese must remember it!

Schools should train students to think that "the rise and fall of the world is my responsibility." If the campus is not clean, it should be everyone's responsibility. Do you think that such a big campus will be dirty if you don’t destroy it and if I don’t destroy it? After it gets dirty, everyone cleans it up. Will it get dirty? You only expect a few workers to do this job and say: "This is their business. I am here to study, not to sweep the floor." ─ What is this concept? What are you doing studying? Doesn’t studying serve the country? If you don't accept the service before you, what else can you do? The faucet is leaking and you can't stop it? Some people will say, "That's not my business, that's the General Affairs Office's business." This is wrong. The worst mistake of ordinary people is this: after turning on the faucet, they find that there is no water, then they turn on the second faucet, but there is no water in the second faucet, and then they turn on the third one. Such students will be expelled from my school! I don’t even understand how to draw inferences from one example. If the first one doesn’t have water, will the second one have it? Didn't you expect the water would come? How can a person do it without foresight? As a cadre and as a person, you must think about the consequences. The farther you look at the consequences, the more successful you are. A person who only cares about the present and does not care about the future is not a good cadre or a useful person.

The water pipes are not turned off, and when the water comes, it fills the pond and flows out, but still does not pay attention: "It is the country's water anyway, not my own!" - What wastes the country is the "Han Cha"! Why are you wasting the country's water? Why are you wasting the country's resources? I save a basin of water for the country every day when I wash my face. How much water do I save in a year? Do some calculations. If each of the more than 6,000 students in your school saves a basin of water every day, how much water does it save in a year? Saving water means saving electricity, which means saving national resources. There are two kinds of patriotism, one is active patriotism and the other is passive patriotism. Active patriotism is to create wealth for the country, while passive patriotism is to save wealth for the country. The country has used so many people's sacrifices and sacrifices to provide you with education, and you are still wasting the country's wealth. Where is your conscience? You are like this when you go to college, how can you expect it from middle school and primary school students?

Another point is that we must have the concept of professionalism of "don't do good deeds because they are small, and don't do evil because they are small". Is there something big going on in the world? No. But any little thing is a big deal. If you gather small evils, you will become a great evil; if you gather small good things, you will become a great good. Cultivating good morals starts from respecting teachers, and it starts from very small things. This kind of morality is built up slowly rather than specifically finding talents for big things. When get out of class was over this morning, the principal of the Normal University and I came out together. There was a lot of waste paper in the auditorium. I said not to pick it up, but to wait until the students pick it up by themselves in the afternoon--students, anyone who leaves these scraps of paper is unpatriotic. There is nothing important in the world. Please first pick up the scraps of paper under your feet - this is my teaching material." Okay, students, pick up the scraps of paper under your feet. This is the beginning of patriotism. Let me tell you two things about stains Paper story
