Chapter 52: Birds Struggle to Break Out of Their Shells
When the radio gymnastics ended, the classes gathered in formation.
The senior students did not participate in the morning exercises, so the dean asked the sophomores to go back first and kept the freshmen.
Hu Yonggang really didn't want to do this.
He persuaded the parents for a long time yesterday and knew the whole story.
How can you read a self-criticism after saving someone?
Hu Yonggang has worked at Mingyuan for more than ten years and has met all kinds of parents.
Regardless of their identity or personality, parents have one thing in common.
That is, never admitting your mistakes.
Even if the facts are right in front of them, they will find various excuses to maintain their dignity in front of their children.
It seems that once you admit your mistakes to your children, your authority as a parent will disappear.
Mingyuan’s students are good at studying and many of them come from well-off families.
Therefore, it can sometimes be more difficult.
They will be more stubborn in believing in their own judgment, care more about their own face, and be more likely to use various means to threaten others.
For example, they often report by phone, expose online, and write complaint emails.
Hu Yonggang tried his best to persuade them but was powerless and could only compromise.
After compromising, I felt that I had failed miserably.
He said into the microphone, "Recently, there's a classmate in our first grade..."
He was originally going to say it was a violation of school rules, but after thinking it over, he changed it to: "My words were inappropriate, and I need to reflect on them now. I also hope that my classmates can learn from this."
As soon as Mediterranean finished speaking, the audience suddenly became noisy and began to heatedly discuss who had said and done something so inappropriate that they had to reflect on themselves in front of the entire school.
Amidst the discussions, Jiang Zhao walked onto the podium.
She took a deep breath and snorted.
Jiang Zhao saw the rows of young faces below, but he was not nervous.
She was just excited about what she was about to do.
Jiang Zhao slowly spoke, "Hello, dear teachers and classmates. I'm Jiang Zhao from Class 1, Grade 1."
After she said the first sentence, the first grade class instantly fell silent.
Jiang Zhao, who in the first year of high school doesn’t know Jiang Zhao.
That Jiang Zhao who was a very good student and took first place in the grade a few days ago?
When Jiang Xueshen spoke in front of the entire school for the first time, he didn’t share his learning experience, but read a self-criticism?
Math teachers all spoke highly of Jiang Zhao, saying she had a good chance of winning gold in next year's math competition.
She is now riding on Mediterranean's neck, and Mediterranean might ask with concern whether her neck is stable enough.
Why would a genius student need to reflect on himself?
At this moment, even the students at the back of the line who couldn't see the face of the person on the podium clearly shut up and pricked up their ears to listen curiously to how "inappropriate" the teacher's favorite, the school's famous college god, was speaking.
You can't be scolding Ning Zhiyuan, right?
"The reason I'm writing this apology is that yesterday I impulsively insulted a classmate's parents. My behavior seriously violated school rules, negatively impacted Class 11 and the school, hurt the feelings of my classmates, and damaged the school's reputation. I sincerely apologize to the school, my teachers, and my classmates."
Lin Chongyang and the others stood at the back of the team.
After hearing this, Lin Chongyang found it incredible: "Whose parents did the class representative scold?"
Chen Bailing rolled her eyes at him: "Apart from Jiang Shengnan's matter, who else could it be?"
Yang Ziwen: "She must have scolded Jiang Shengnan's mother yesterday, right?"
Xiang Xingzhi: "Didn't she save Jiang Shengnan?"
Lin Chongyang quickly figured out the whole story and came to a conclusion: "Her mother is not in the right place."
He said: "The class representative is the same. He can tolerate this. If it were me, I would throw a tantrum on the stage."
Jiang Zhao didn't throw a tantrum. She looked at the audience and continued without needing a script:
"Politics books say that our worldview, outlook on life, and values determine our behavior and decision-making. And our three views are shaped by many factors."
"For those of us who are still in high school, our values, outlook on life and values come from our school education and family environment, with our family environment being the largest component. It's no exaggeration to say that it's our entire world. It's like an eggshell, and we are the chicks being cared for."
“I wonder about that – what if the values conveyed by the family environment are themselves wrong?”
Chen Bailing raised his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Is this a self-criticism?"
That doesn't sound right.
But the teacher on the stage had no intention of stopping them.
The girl's voice was clear and firm: "We read, learn, and interact with people because no one can guarantee that every piece of knowledge we accept is an unshakable truth."
"Only by reading more, learning more, watching more, listening more, and thinking more, can you form your own three views and not be influenced by others."
"When a bird struggles to break free from its egg, the egg is the world. If a human being is to be born, he must destroy the world. When we look back, we will find that what bound us was nothing more than the fragile eggshell."
“We become truly human when we begin to discover ourselves.”
"Once again, I sincerely apologize to the teachers and classmates at school for my inappropriate words and behavior."
After Jiang Zhao finished speaking, he bowed and walked down from the podium.
This is not really an apology or repentance.
It’s more like a “Declaration of Resistance.”
After Jiang Zhao finished reading, Lin Chongyang was the first to cheer. He shouted, raised his hands above his head and started clapping.
Around him, Chen Bailing and Xiang Xingzhi also clapped their hands.
Then, with them as the center, the whole class started to applaud.
"The class representative is very brave, isn't he, Yanshen?" Lin Chongyang said, but no one answered.
He turned his head and saw that Luo Yan was not in the team.
I clearly remember you were here just now?
————————
Outside the playground, Jiang Shengnan had just completed the procedures for taking a leave of absence from school.
She was carrying her luggage, half-raising her head and looking at the wall of the playground spectator stands.
Jiang Guangye pulled the suitcase and asked, "Why don't you go home quickly? What are you looking at?"
"A classmate of ours," Jiang Shengnan said. "He was giving a speech... Didn't my mom tell us to listen before leaving?"
"Oh." Jiang Guangye didn't care much. He had completely forgotten Hu Hongyue's instructions.
He complained, "Your mom is always busy. She stays at home all day and does nothing. Yet she still wants me to take time off to come here and worry about such trivial matters. It's a waste of time."
In fact, Jiang Guangye didn’t care about asking for leave from work, he just wanted to complain about others.
Jiang Shengnan didn't say anything.
Jiang Guangye listened for a while with his ears perked up, then burst into laughter.
He said, "The students in your school are quite funny. What are they talking about eggs and birds? It's incomprehensible."
After hearing what he said, Jiang Shengnan also laughed. As she laughed, she felt like crying. She wiped her tears and said, "Let's go back."
