Chapter 859: Famous Teachers Guard the Scene
As Liu? spoke, the audience's live screens switched to several pre-recorded videos.
Professor Su, with white hair, appeared in the first video. He sat behind his desk and faced the camera with a loving smile. He said in a kind voice, "Hello, students and online friends. I am Su Yi."
At the same time, a line of introduction text appeared on the left side of the video: "Su Yi: calligrapher, good at regular script and official script; professor of Capital University, dean of the Chinese Calligraphy Research Institute of Capital University, former president of the National Calligraphy Association..."
"I am an educator. Due to health reasons, I will no longer teach undergraduates this semester. To be honest, I feel uncomfortable when I am free. I am in a bad mood and lack of energy every day. I always feel that something is missing in my life. In my more than 50 years of teaching career, education has been deeply rooted in my bones. I never treat undergraduates differently from my doctoral students. No matter how busy or tired I am, I insist on offering public elective courses to undergraduates. My idea is very simple and has never changed: I want to popularize some theories related to literature and calligraphy to more people. I want everyone to understand that they are not profound knowledge. You don’t need to be proficient in them to learn them. It is enough to read, listen, think and understand the principles. This knowledge may not necessarily make people successful, but it will definitely help people avoid detours in life."
Professor Su's voice sounds old, but his eyes are still bright!
"Liu? is my last disciple, and the most talented young person in calligraphy that I have met in my later years. However, she is not a bookworm who is obsessed with writing. She is very smart, not content with the status quo, and has a fighting spirit all over her body. She always has many wonderful ideas. When she proposed to do 'learning to write and painting ink', I decided to support and help her. You know, in ancient times, knowledge was a luxury, something that only the nobles could access. Obviously, the feudal monarchy has been overthrown for a hundred years, and we are in a developed and equal modern society, but society has regressed. Students from wealthy families have more educational resources, and those children from poor families are not even qualified to receive education. What is the difference between this and the educational blockade in ancient times? Would I be able to be a scholar-official in ancient times with my identity? Confucius was the first person in history to popularize education to the common people. He was very old at that time, but he still insisted on doing education wholeheartedly. I am absolutely not as good as the great Confucius, but I want to change the status quo to the best of my ability."
At this point, the old man smiled with a hint of mischief, and the audience felt as if they were dazzled. "Don't look at my old face, I don't admit my age at all, I still have a lot of things to do! From now on, every Thursday and Saturday at 7 o'clock, I will teach you here, mainly Chinese studies, and maybe some calligraphy knowledge. The fee for a class is only 10 yuan. This price is unified worldwide and is the same for everyone. If you buy a monthly card, you can save even more money."
This unexpected advertisement is very convincing.
"Buy, buy, buy. You must buy the old gentleman's class!"
...
...
"10 yuan is a very reasonable price. It's the same price for listening to any song online."
"I can listen to the lessons of famous teachers at home with the money of a cup of milk tea. Isn't it worth it? It's worth crying."
Netizens have only now belatedly discovered the speaking function of the "Xue Wen Tu Mo" live broadcast room. The biggest difference between it and ordinary online live broadcast rooms is that the names displayed on it are real.
The APP requires users to register with their real names and speak with their real names. This requirement was proposed by Su Yi, who said firmly, "Do we have to hide our studies openly and not show them to others?"
