"Principal Xu, can you accept an interview?"
"certainly."
The program crew carried the equipment and found Xu Shang.
Although the program crew had to travel a lot in the countryside for this 'real experience of rural life', there was no sign of fatigue on their faces. Instead, they looked full of energy.
Because they captured a lot of interesting shots.
The program would be broadcast in the evening, so they came to interview Xu Shang and wanted to make a summary statement to end the event.
"Principal Xu, you prepared this activity. Do you want to let the students in the control class compare themselves with the more obedient, sensible and mature rural students, so as to achieve the purpose of educating them?"
The frontline reporters and other members of the program team were all waiting for Xu Shang's answer.
Through their follow-up interviews over the past two days, they have seen many gratifying scenes. After the students in these problem classes participated in the lives of rural children, they could clearly feel it.
The children in the problem class have grown up!
How educational!
As a program crew, it is an honor for the media to witness such a scene. Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts -
Principal Xu finally came up with an educational program full of positive energy.
However--
Principal Xu asked back, "Did you just say that rural children are more obedient, sensible, and mature?"
"Principal Xu, do you have any questions?"
"You seem to be mistaken."
"Um!?"
"In terms of maturity, I think rural students mature much later."
"And what you just said about being obedient and sensible are not advantages at all in my opinion."
The frontline reporter was stunned for a moment, and looked at Principal Xu in confusion, and then heard Principal Xu say:
"The maturity you mentioned seems to be just helping with housework... Is this what you call maturity? Do they have the ability to adapt to unfamiliar environments? Do they have the ability to get along with others? Do they understand new developments? None of them... On the contrary, the students in the control class are much more mature than them in this regard."
"As for what you said about being obedient and sensible, in my opinion, it is even less worthy of praise!"
"Many people, many of them, just developed a 'people-pleasing personality' in a poor family environment. When they enter society, they accept it and do not know how to resist. They allow some people in society to oppress and exploit them!"
"Perhaps they need to wait until they are in their thirties before they can truly become mature, truly understand the rules that govern the world, and awaken the true qualities within their hearts. They need to know how to fight for their rights and protect their own interests... rather than using 'hard work and no complaints' to exchange for ridiculous 'praise' that has no real meaning."
"But by the time they mature... it's already too late."
"What a -- a novel idea!"
The program crew looked at each other in bewilderment. They looked at each other and carefully pondered what Principal Xu said.
Those who can enter such a program group are all considered to be the chosen ones. They are basically from cities and are indeed attracted by the qualities displayed by rural students on the surface.
Being obedient, sensible and well-behaved is simply the best image of children in the eyes of their parents.
But as top students, they immediately realized the problem after a little thought.
Is the best child in the eyes of parents really the best child?
I am afraid,
Not necessarily!
For parents, if their children are obedient and sensible and don't cause trouble for them, it means saving a lot of time and education costs. But if you think about it carefully, it feels very scary.
Many parents, especially those in rural areas, lack the ability to educate their children.
They think that children who are 'sensible' basically mean they are not curious, do not want, do not express themselves, have no demands, and have no desires.
If such an "honest and introverted" child is thrown into the city, how much will he have to go through before he can finally become mature?
Or was it whipped to death before it matured?
The program team had to admit in their hearts that Principal Xu was right.
Both cruel and realistic.
Principal Xu continued, "In fact, I am also paying attention to the students' life experience. There is one family that left a deep impression on me. This family really needs money - as for the purpose of privacy, I will not tell you the reason. And a student in the control class happened to have saved a few hundred yuan in pocket money."
"So, the student made a decision to give the money to the rural student who was in great need of money. But the rural student was unwilling to accept the gift no matter what; so the student told the rural student that it was a loan, but the rural student still refused to accept it -"
"Oh, it seems very courageous...but is it really so?"
"Not daring to owe others is not being courageous, it's childish!"
"Why are you so afraid of owing others? Does relying on yourself really make people think you have backbone?"
"The essence of how interpersonal relationships work in this society is that you help me and I help you! Not wanting to owe others is in itself a rejection of their help!"
"This concept will cause them great suffering!"
“They have so much to learn!”
“When a mature person needs help and others are willing to help, he should not think about refusing; nor should he accept it with a clear conscience; but how to repay them later!”
"He helps you, and when he needs you, you repay him. Over time, you have established a long-term win-win cooperative relationship, and this kind of social relationship is precisely the foundation for people to gain a foothold in society!"
"Many people are born with connections, relationships, resources and backgrounds, but many more people build them up through mutual help. These rural students are already backward, but they still refuse help from others. In their hearts, they even think that this is dignity."
"That's why I say they are childish! Can dignity really be more important than survival? What's more, this is not dignity at all! It is a denial of one's inferiority complex, putting personal honor and disgrace above life and even life. When they understand that the so-called face and shame are nothing compared to the dreams they want to realize; when they understand that people cannot accomplish many things by themselves and must seek help from others, then they can be considered to have truly grown up!"
Principal Xu said a lot in one breath, and when he saw his foolish brother walking out of the room, he concluded:
"Right, Xiaolong."
"..." Gao Xiaolong's face turned red, "Why did you mention me?"
In Que Ma Village, the evenings are destined to be much happier after becoming rich. Everyone gathers around the houses with TVs to watch the TV show in which the chairman appears.
The sound coming from the TV made Ma Duoshuai deafened.
