Nowadays, many people like to use the issue of skin color as a topic of speech, in order to show how compassionate and politically correct they are.As everyone knows, in the United States now, whether it is black or white, this topic will be a little disgusted.Some things, the more you mention them, the more embarrassing they are like revealing a scar.This is undoubtedly the case with skin tone.If Wang Yong's speech is really this kind of topic, it can only be said that it is too regrettable.Wang Yong's plan to exchange this for the favor of the students of Trinity Middle School failed.It's just that when the picture continues to push, what catches everyone's eyes is not the scene that everyone imagined.Rather, this black man was walking down the street and happened to see a teenager on a skateboard fall to the ground.The black man stepped forward to help the skateboarder to his feet and smiled.The camera doesn't stay on the black man all the time, and the next second it turns to a skateboarder as the main character.The skateboarder boy crosses the street and sees an old woman holding a lot of things.The skateboarder stepped forward to take the grandmother's things and escorted her across the street.The perspective changed again, and the grandmother saw a woman who was rummaging through her handbag but couldn't find a coin to make a call.The grandmother put a coin she had recovered from shopping into the woman's palm.The camera is constantly changing, and each time the protagonist is different, but the content is the same.It's all about doing something that helps others.Accompanied by upbeat music, the video immediately grabbed everyone's attention.When a man who was helped in the video bought two hamburgers and handed them to a homeless man, and when the homeless man ate the hamburger and picked up the mobile phone forgotten by a girl next to him and gave it back to the girl, the audience let out a kind smile.Every moment of kindness will make people can't help but rejoice.The video quickly concludes: a waiter at a restaurant holds a glass of water and hands it to a worker who has just unloaded his goods.The worker took it with a smile, revealing a straight face, and it was the black man who helped up the skateboarder boy at the beginning of the video."
Wow," the entire auditorium exclaimed.But I didn't expect it to be such an ending, everyone in the video is taking the initiative to pass on the kindness, and a closed chain is finally formed between seemingly unrelated characters.To help others is to help oneself."
Great video, just what does it have to do with Mr.
Wang's speech today?"
a reporter in the front row asked.Wang Yong stepped forward again and said, "This video was shot by you Americans, and it's called Shan's Boomerang for Good."
It means that a small act of kindness that we do casually may form a force at a certain point, and eventually bring this kindness back to ourselves.I have to say, it's a touching video.However, I want to say that this concept also exists in the oriental culture represented by our Huaxia.We call it the old and the old, the young and the young.What does this sentence mean, while respecting the old people in your own family, don't forget those who are not related by blood; When you love your own children, don't ignore those who don't know you in life.Is it very similar to the concept of the boomerang of goodness, and this is the core of thousands of years of Chinese culture.It is on this basis that the Chinese nation has spread from the goodness of the family to the goodness of villages and towns, from the goodness of villages and towns to the goodness of the city, and from the goodness of the city to the goodness of the country.Until the whole nation became a trend, stretching for thousands of years.A nation with nothing but kindness will not go far, but it is even more impossible for a nation without kindness to go far.Whether it is Western culture, Eastern culture, Kantianism, or Confucianism, in fact, the essence of all these cultural ideas is one word good.It stems from the pursuit of the most fundamental things in human nature, and from the best expectations of human beings.Therefore, there is no gap between Eastern and Western cultures, because their essence is the same.And that's the theme of my talk today, the same as me and you. ”"I see," all the people who had doubts before suddenly realized.There was a lot of applause from the audience.Wang Yong took advantage of the situation to take the common values of Eastern and Western cultures as the starting point, and began to give a speech in the style of side-hunting.In his speech, Wang Yong showed an amazing understanding of Western culture, and even some Western scholars present were amazed by Wang Yong, praising that if Wang Yong is willing to work hard in the field of Western culture, he can also become an authoritative expert and scholar.Offstage.Garcia and the others stared at Wang Yong hatefully, and every time there was applause at the scene, a wave of anger rose in the eyes of Garcia and the others."
Can't let him go on any longer," Garcia let out a low growl."
Yes, many students were attracted by his speech and became interested in oriental culture.I suspect that if he stays in our school for a month, the whole school will be assimilated.He must be stopped. ”Jones also said."
But we can't rush to the stage and stop him, I heard that he is a kung fu master" "Hmph, kung fu is just a trick to deceive people, but we really can't be rude, we have to use some clever methods to make him unable to get off the stage, so that he can get out of trouble, let him preach the theory, and destroy himself."
Jones, you're doing well in school, you have an idea" Garcia said.Jones looked down and pondered for a long time, when suddenly his eyes lit up and he whispered a few words in Garcia's ear.Garcia smiled and gave Jones a thumbs up."
Teacher, I want to ask a question."
A voice sounded in the audience, interrupting Wang Yong's speech.But Garcia.Wang Yong looked at the audience and saw that it was the mischievous boy, he was slightly surprised, but he still nodded and said, "Please speak." ”Garcia smiled slyly and asked, "Teacher, you just mentioned that there is also goodness in Eastern culture, and I doubt it. ”"Why" "Because if there is really goodness in Eastern culture, then why has the democracy that represents goodness never been implemented in China?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.Even the celebrities, journalists, academics and other friends in the front row looked at Garcia in amazement.They didn't expect such a sharp and point-to-the-point question to come from a student.If Wang Yong does not answer this question well, Wang Yong's previous dozens of minutes of speech will basically be abandoned.The Chinese culture promoted by Wang Yong's trip will immediately become garbage.After all, in the eyes of Westerners, democracy and freedom are a natural human right thing.A culture that violates these two values will be resented by Westerners from the inside.Coincidentally, China is frequently targeted by Western countries.In recent years, with the rise of China, there have been fewer of them.Some students and reporters who have a good impression of Wang Yong can't help but sweat for Wang Yong.And several American scholars shook their heads in unison.They all think that this question is unsolvable, and it can be said that Garcia's question is like a sharp knife directly piercing Wang Yong's heart, and it is impossible to save him alive.The students of Trinity Middle School were first in a sensation, and then they all looked at Wang Yong.There was both anticipation and faint schadenfreude in his eyes.Wang Yong glanced around, his gaze fell back on Garcia, and he laughed: "I am very surprised by the sharpness and insight of this classmate's thinking.I think you can go straight to work after graduation, and some of the people there are not as good as you. ”"Haha."
The audience laughed.Everyone knows the grievances between Wang Yong and N, and Wang Yong's ridicule is just right, which alleviates the heavy atmosphere of many scenes.It's just that it's useless to just relieve the atmosphere, and it really depends on a perfect enough answer to really save face."
Teacher, are you changing the subject" Garcia's eyes flashed, and he chased after him.Wang Yong shook his head: "No, on the contrary, not only do I not want to change the topic, I also want to talk to you seriously about this issue."
Because it's really an interesting question, the different ways it presents in the East and the West are a reflection of the differences between the Eastern and Western cultures.We have a saying in China that oranges are oranges in Huainan and oranges in Huaibei, just like taking citrus from Florida to Washington State will not be so delicious.Democracy in the United States is not the same as in China, but you can't deny that it is still called democracy.Modern Western-style democracy originated in England, and this system was fair to lords A or B, but not necessarily to commoners.Because they are rarely qualified to be democratically elected.Until the 49th century, there was still a huge illiterate population in China, and the literacy rate was less than 20.It is simply unrealistic for you to ask an ordinary Chinese person to distinguish between the free trade agreement and the Pacific agreement, which is better for China.It can be said that there is a huge knowledge gap between ordinary people and experts and scholars.But at that time, China was faced with a huge choice, on the one hand, the land was invaded, and on the other hand, the people were threatened with poverty and death.People have to make a decision, to the left or to the right.Fortunately, the Chinese people, who are deeply influenced by traditional culture, know what they need.They understand that they can't understand everything, but they let someone who understands lead them to their ends.As a result, there is the current China, and there is the current Chinese-style democracy.Some people may dismiss this, believing that the Chinese system is not called democracy at all, and it cannot play a democratic role at all.Then I'll give you an example" Wang Yong smiled slightly, paused, and said.
