Gao Zhendong's domestic speech

Gao Zhendong's speech at a school in Chinese mainland shocked China.

Author: Gao Zhendong

There is such a school in Taiwan Province Province, with students aged between 15 and 18. Of the more than 3,000 students each year, 200 to 300 are expelled from school for violating school rules and regulations. There are no workers, guards and teachers in the school, and all the necessary work is done by the students themselves. The school implements the senior system, and the third grade students take the first grade students. It only takes three minutes for the whole school to gather. Students should salute the teacher seven meters away. Students have no fake homework, and no one can't get into college. This is a 30-year-old Sino-Singapore Advanced Business School in Taiwan Province Province, which is based on moral education. In the recruitment advertisements of major newspapers in Taiwan Province Province, the words "only loyal graduates" often appear.

The following is a speech by Gao Zhendong, Dean of CITIC Advanced Business School in Taiwan Province Province:

Students, what is your next sentence when you say "the world rises and falls"? (Voice from the audience: "Every man has a responsibility")-No, it's "my responsibility". If everyone got 10 in the college entrance examination this year, doesn't that mean they didn't? "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" means that everyone has no responsibility. "Everyone has his own responsibility" should be changed to "My responsibility". This is how I teach my students. Therefore, it is my responsibility that education in Chinese mainland is not doing well now. Only in this way did I return to my motherland and give a speech on morality. (Applause) "Taking the rise and fall of the world as our own responsibility" is Mencius' thought.

Jade is a man, Shun is a man, and I am a man! They can do it. Why can't I? Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. With this concept, our country has hope. If each of our students says: the school is out of order, it is my responsibility; It is my responsibility that the national education is not done well; It is my responsibility that the country is not strong ... everyone can take the initiative to take responsibility. How can there be an underdeveloped country? Where can there be disunited groups? So every student should put the responsibility on himself, not push it out.

This is how I set up a school in Taiwan Province Province. If the classroom is dirty, I ask, "What's the matter?"

Suppose a student stands up and says, "report to the teacher, today is the duty of classmate 32, and he didn't clean up."

In that case, the students will be beaten.

In my school, students will say "I'm sorry, teacher, it's my responsibility" and then clean it up immediately. If the light bulb is broken, any student who sees it will pay the installation fee. If the window glass is broken, students will buy one and put it on immediately-this is education, not pushing the responsibility out, but taking over. Maybe some people say it's a loss. I tell you, failure is an advantage. This kind of education should be firmly in mind, and all people in China should remember it!

Schools should train students to think that "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." It should be everyone's responsibility that the campus is not clean. Do you think such a big campus will be dirty if you don't destroy me? When it is dirty, everyone cleans it. Will it be dirty? You only expect a few workers to do the job and say, "This is their business. I am here to study, not to sweep the floor. " -What is this idea? What are you reading? Isn't reading for the country? If you are not satisfied with the present, can you still serve the future? You are irresponsible for your current duties. Can you be responsible for your future responsibilities? The faucet is leaking. Can't you stop it? Some people will say, "that's none of my business, that's the general affairs office." This is not right.

The worst problem for ordinary people is this: turn on the tap and find there is no water, then turn on the second one, there is no second one, and then turn on the third one-such students will be expelled from my school! I don't even understand this analogy. The first one has no water, will the second one have it? Didn't you expect the water to come? What should people do without long-term care?

As a cadre, as a person, we should consider the consequences. The farther we look at the consequences, the more successful we will be. A person who only cares about the present and ignores the future is not a good cadre or a useful person. The water pipe is not turned off. When the water comes, let it flow all over the pool, but still ignore it: "It's national water anyway, not my own!" " It's a waste country! Why do you waste the country's water resources? Why waste national resources? I wash my face every day to save a basin of water for the country. How much water can be saved in a year? You can calculate how much water I can save if there are more than 6000 students in your school. Saving water means saving electricity and 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 accumulate wealth for the country. The country used the essence of so many people for your education, and you also wasted the wealth of the country. Where is your conscience? How can you expect middle school students and primary school students when you go to college? How can you expect ordinary people? You senior intellectuals are not patriotic, how can you make the people patriotic? Starting from ourselves, there is hope for the country-this is the positive and responsible moral concept of "I am responsible for the rise and fall of the world", and this is moral education.

On the other hand, we should have the concept of "doing good and not doing evil". Is there anything important in the world? No. But anything small is a big deal. Turn small evil into great evil and small good into great good. Cultivating good morality begins with respecting teachers and starting with that small thing. This kind of morality is gradually established, rather than discovering great talents.

When class was over this morning, I came out with the president of Normal University. There is a lot of waste paper in the auditorium. I said don't pick it up, wait for the students to pick it up by themselves in the afternoon ── classmates, whoever leaves these pieces of paper is unpatriotic. There is nothing important in the world, please pick up the paper under your feet first-this is my textbook. "Well, students pick up the waste paper under their feet, and this is the beginning of patriotism. I'll tell you two stories about flower paper.
