Luo Pang's New Year's Speech in 22: A Super-long Textbook-level Open Course of Ideological and Political Education.

Yesterday morning, in Wuhan Optics Valley Gymnasium, Luo Pang finished his sixth New Year's speech.

Luo Pang must have a special purpose when he put the 22 New Year's Eve speech in Wuhan.

In 22, the COVID-19 epidemic broke out in Wuhan, which touched the hearts of people all over the country. When I heard that Luo Pang chose Wuhan as the venue for his speech, I wondered how he would start.

Unexpectedly, he started with a story like this:

An artist named Gonzalez showed a very special work of art in exhibition halls all over the world.

This work of art is a pile of candy, but it is not an ordinary candy. The weight of this pile of candy is exactly 79.4 kilograms, which is the weight of his wife before her death.

This pile of candy is displayed in the exhibition hall, and there is no guardrail around it. Visitors can take some as souvenirs at will.

However, every day after the exhibition, Gonzalez will re-weigh this pile of candy and then make up the taken part.

So day after day, without interruption, the weight of this pile of candy is always 79.4 kilograms.

Gonzalez commemorates his lover in this special way. It is sweet to express life through candy, but life will eventually pass away, just like candy will always be taken away. But the most important thing is that no matter what happens, people who love her will always make her reborn again and again.

At this point in the story, Luo Pang said with deep affection:

This story is very much like the beauty, passing and rebirth that Wuhan people have experienced in the past year, and it also bears witness to the power of love. Here, I pay tribute to you and the 15 million Wuhan people.

this kind of opening brings people into a scene with temperature. If you are from Wuhan, you may be moved inexplicably after hearing it.

a speech is half the battle if it can produce the same frequency vibration with people at the beginning.

Part of Luo Pang's New Year's speech this year was mentioned in his previous "Inspiration Club", which didn't stimulate my brain enough.

after watching the live broadcast for more than four hours, I asked myself if I could sum up my intuitive feelings in one sentence. One sentence that comes to mind is: Luo Pang's 22 New Year's Eve speech is more like an extra-long textbook-level open class on ideological and political education.

I am an educator and the head of a grass-roots party organization, and I know that to have a good ideological and political course that is both interesting and dry, I have high requirements for the knowledge and expression of the lecturers.

more importantly, the lecturer should believe what he says first, and then tell it in a passionate way, so that the audience will be infected.

Luo Pang has done it completely. He deserves to be a top ideological and political teacher. From him, our ideological and political teachers can learn three teaching skills:

1. Look at anything from different angles

There are at least two angles-positive or negative, optimistic or pessimistic, positive or negative.

every year in his New Year's speech, Luo Pang always talks about a topic-the judgment on the future trend of China's economy. There are at least two ways to look at China's economy-optimism or pessimism.

Luo Pang is an optimist. He believes that China's economy will continue to grow in the future. He thinks pessimism is a liar, it attracts our attention, but it doesn't let us participate in the change.

Optimists don't complain about the environment, face the challenges of the real world bravely, and use the limited resources around them to solve other people's problems as well as their own.

As an ideological and political teacher, the way you look at a thing must be positive, optimistic and positive. You should learn from Luo Pang.

If you are a pessimist, if you can't change your perspective on a thing-read the optimistic elements from seemingly pessimistic things, then you are not suitable to be an ideological and political teacher.

2. Choose the fact

Put the same half glass of water in front of you. Optimists see "there is still half glass of water" and are grateful to those who have left half a glass of water for themselves; Pessimists see "only half a glass of water left" and complain who has drunk half of it.

Different perspectives on things will influence you to choose different "facts" to prove your point of view.

Will India replace China as the center of global supply chain in the future? How does China have superior social organization ability? What kind of new relationship does China local government have with enterprises ... As an optimistic Luo Pang, he chooses some convincing facts (cases) to show that when China grows up, it not only has a huge economic scale, but also is an organized cooperation network, which is large in scale and rich in levels, with strength, flexibility and flexibility.

As a teacher of ideological and political course, you should learn to choose the vivid cases that happened at present and tell them vividly in combination with your own experience, so as to leave a deep impression on students.

3. Reasoning

Let's see how Luo Pang uses inductive and deductive reasoning to tell how individuals solve the survival dilemma of being trapped in the system.

First of all, Luo Pang uses inductive reasoning to start with various phenomena of "being trapped in the system".

"Trapped in the system" is a popular phrase in 22, which originated from someone who wrote an article about the takeaway brother trapped in the digital system.

all actions of the takeaway brother, what order to take, where to take the meal, where to take the meal, how to take it, how to go, and what punishment he will face if he delivers food overtime are strictly controlled by the background system.

From the takeaway brother, to the employees who work at home because of the epidemic, and even the bosses, there are similar dilemmas trapped in the digital system.

Starting from one phenomenon after another, Luo Pang reexamined the concept of "digitalization" and concluded a cognition: in the past, digitalization represented clearer, more transparent and more efficient; But now it has another flavor, representing nervousness, oppression and helplessness.

Later, based on the exploration of the "digital" real face, Luo Pang adopted deductive reasoning, citing the research results of financial scholar Xiang Shuai: the digital trend is irreversible, and it was greatly advanced by the epidemic; The digital future is a divided future. Some people will be trapped in the digital system, or even replaced by the system; And some people will become more powerful because of the digital system.

Luo Pang further revolved around "What is the watershed of digitalization", which led to Xiang Shuai's answer: whether digitalization is honey or poison to you depends only on whether you are responsible for people or things.

In order to explain clearly what is responsible for people and what is responsible for things, Luo Pang cited an example of education. President Li Xi of Beijing Eleventh Alliance General School tortured the soul of librarians: As a librarian, are you responsible for books? Still responsible for people?

Then, from the perspective of system, Luo Pang traces back to the story that Kasparov, a chess master, lost to the supercomputer Deep Blue more than 2 years ago, and concludes that the victory of the machine is always the victory of mankind, and the system is only the support behind us, and mankind can also participate in higher-level competition by using the machine. In the future digital system, a person's value, your friendliness, cooperation and constructiveness can be seen by everyone at any time and place.

Finally, Luo Pang concluded that when we grow up, we must learn to co-evolve with the system.

Only with such clear logical reasoning can your speech be convincing. Our ideological and political teachers lack the logical expression ability like Luo Pang.

the theme of Luo pang's new year's speech in 22 is "when I grow up", especially when it comes to personal growth, which is very suitable for ideological and political courses for young students.

I'm going to use what Luo Pang said to open an ideological and political course for Huarui students. The name has been decided-"How do you face your life problems when you grow up?"

around the following three topics, I will discuss with the students:

1. Why do others look at you differently when you grow up

What does it mean when you grow up? Everyone has their own different experiences. But one thing is the same, that is, people will look at you differently now than when you were a child.

When you were a child, you made a mistake, and your parents were behind you to take the responsibility. In the New Year's speech, Luo Pang recalled a sentence his father told him in the school hostel when his parents sent him to Wuhan for college 3 years ago.

Dad Luo told him, "Tomorrow you will officially report for duty, and you will be a college student. From tomorrow on, society will no longer regard you as a child. Today, you made a mistake, and we can come forward and say that the child is still young and not sensible. Tomorrow, you become a college student. If you say something wrong, you are wrong. You have to find a way to be responsible for it yourself. "

nowadays, society does not regard the age when you go to college at 18 as the dividing line when you grow up, but 12 years old. Because, from now on, 12-year-old children commit intentional homicide and intentional injury, and if the circumstances are particularly bad, they need to bear criminal responsibility.

when you grow up, it not only means that you tend to be mature in dealing with people, but also can respond to the expectations and pressures given to you by the outside world with a positive attitude.

2. When you grow up, how will you be responsible for your own project?

When you grow up, you will enter a complex social system, and you will encounter many new topics, such as how to find your favorite lover and how to win the approval of the leaders ... These new topics need to be faced by you alone.

when you grow up, you must first learn to choose. Choose what to do, what not to do, what is urgent to do at the moment, and what to do in the long run, and you can get the meaning of growth by choosing again and again.

Luo Pang tells that he has an important choice in 22-to create an "inspiration club" at the entrance of SKP shopping mall in Beijing, hold an offline activity every Wednesday night, share his learning gains of the week with the audience who bought tickets on the spot, and broadcast live online for free.

Luo Pang wants to create a humanistic landscape so that all people who like reading can come here to feel the life-long learning.

Luo Pang tells the story of a father and son who bought tickets to inspire the club:

A father brought his junior high school children to inspire the club on his child's birthday. After Luo Pang saw it, he was very happy to ask his father and son if they were heavy users of APP. The father and son said no.

The father said, I just want my children to see what it's like to study hard and take reading as their job. The child said that my father especially wanted me to come, and on my birthday, I also wanted to talk with my father.

finally, Luo pang said that the father and son came to inspire the club not because they wanted to listen to what I said, but because I provided a container of meaning here, which the father and son used to define, consolidate and strengthen the relationship between their father and son.

Every time we choose, there will be a reason to choose, and every time we give a reason, we are creating meaning for ourselves.

When we grow up, we should not only learn to use the existing meaning containers to gain our own value, but also consider creating some new meaning containers for the world that can be passed on to future generations.

3. When you grow up, how do you use the resources around you to solve problems

When you grow up, you will find that there are similar challenges in front of all people who do things: how do we achieve our goals under the premise of limited resources?

Luo Pang quoted an education case in the Global Education Report by Mr. Shen Zuyun.

in the deep mountains of Huairou district, there is a mountain village primary school with only 23 teachers-Jiuduhe Primary School. Under the leadership of the new principal Yu Hailong, this mountain village primary school has solved the problem of limited educational resources by recruiting local villagers from all walks of life as tutors.

The school has set up various courses, such as tofu course, vegetable growing course, carpentry course, chicken raising course, etc., so that children can learn knowledge in the process of solving practical challenges.

For example, students should not only learn to make tofu, but also learn to sell it. When they are in grinding bean curd, they need to calculate the ratio of soybeans to water, so they learn the percentage to be learned in the sixth grade. In addition, to sell tofu to the surrounding villagers and restaurants in the town requires children to learn how to communicate with buyers and write promotional advertisements, which exercises students' comprehensive ability.

you see, if you want to solve the problem, don't forget that resources may be around you.

Only when you learn a way of doing things that is "not far away" and use the limited resources around you to solve problems can you really grow up.

At the end of every New Year's speech, Luo Pang always quotes a famous person. In 22, I quoted the words of the writer E·B· White: Be happy in the face of complexity.

In the new era of great changes, only by embracing complexity with an open mind can we go further.
