Chairman Xiao Xu realized that Professor Hu, whose sharp words hit the nail on the head, was the first debater sent by the inspection team, and it seemed that he had decided to give him a warning today.
Chairman Xiao Xu was certainly not afraid and was determined to have a good debate with Professor Hu.
"Professor Hu, I wonder if you have heard of the Tianya Village Vocational and Technical School here. Every local unemployed person will go there for 'vocational training' every year, and receive training and internship at a job every month!
"If it is suitable, you will be given a permanent job. If it is not suitable, you will be asked to find a new job next month and study for a maximum of three months each year."
Professor Hu immediately asked: "But what if this person still doesn't have a job he or she is interested in after three months?"
Chairman Xiao Xu replied: "If this person has not found a suitable job for three consecutive months, then the problem is not with him, but with me. At present, in our Tianya Village collective company, there is a corresponding minimum living security benefit, which may not meet other needs, but there is no problem in guaranteeing basic living."
Professor Hu frowned: "Mr. Xu, what you mean is that if they can find suitable jobs, your company will be responsible for paying for their support. Is that what you mean?"
"Yes!"
"Well, with all due respect, aren't you just raising lazy people?"
After hearing what Professor Hu said, Chairman Xiao Xu suddenly smiled and asked, "Then, Professor Hu, are those rich people who live in luxury houses and eat, drink and have fun every day considered lazy people?"
Professor Hu was stunned for a moment, his expression somewhat subtle and complicated.
Chairman Xiao Xu began to question like a machine gun:
“You see poor people who don’t work, they are lazy people!
“Then why don’t you call those rich people who don’t work lazy, just because they have money?
"So what are you subconsciously afraid of? Are you afraid that those who don't work won't have food to eat? Or are you afraid that if they stop working, society will no longer be able to enjoy the dividends they bring?
"I think you may not be afraid of the first one!"
Professor Hu pursed his lips and was unable to speak.
When people reach a certain level, they will subconsciously no longer regard people at the bottom as human beings.
——Sometimes it is just a cold data, sometimes it is just a so-called bonus, and sometimes it is even just a "burden" or "encumbrance".
Chairman Xiao Xu continued: "I never agree with the idea of 'lazy man'!
“No one is born to be a loser! No one is born without pursuing a better life! No one is born to live a life of idleness and wait for death, living a muddled life!
"If a person falls into a state of being satisfied with just being alive, should we blame them for all the problems? Accuse them of not working hard, not striving, being lazy, or being a hopeless case?
"——It's so easy to put the blame on one's own shoulders and shirk one's responsibility without any effort!
"But, when people go against their original desires, bury all their pursuits, and abandon their former ideals, and are content with just living a basic life, is it really just because they are born lazy and incompetent?
“Is there anyone who doesn’t want to live in a big house?
“Who doesn’t want a great partner?
“Who doesn’t want to enjoy fine food and have a colorful life?
“Giving up desires… It’s so easy to say. But who is so lazy, so self-destructive, and so useless from the beginning?
“Who is not passionate? Who has not had an ideal? Who has not been that ignorant young boy who firmly fantasizes that he may be able to change the world?
"When they are criticized as 'lazy', is it really all their own fault? Are young people asked to look for the reasons in themselves? - Then why doesn't society look for the reasons in itself?"
After Chairman Xiao Xu's heated speech, he let out a long breath and said slowly: "Working for the sake of work is a formalism. What is the difference between this and suffering for the sake of suffering?
"The book 'To Live' says that suffering is suffering, suffering will not bring success, suffering is not worth pursuing, and the reason for tempering one's will is because suffering cannot be avoided!
"It's not my goal that everyone has a job. My goal is that everyone can have the job they want. So, those who don't have a job here can receive job training at most three times a year. But if my job really can't bring them a sense of accomplishment, then the problem is with me, not them!"
Professor Hu took a long time to finally refute: "Your idea is too naive, it's not realistic!"
"Of course this is unrealistic...any ideal is not realistic at the moment."
Xiao Xu answered seriously: "Can communism be realized now? But does this prevent society from working towards this direction? Is our ideal society really one where everyone has a job that can feed themselves? Is the meaning of work just to make money to fill their stomachs? Rather than making the best use of their talents, giving full play to their talents and hobbies, and making achievements that satisfy themselves?"
Professor Hu stopped talking.
The inspection team started discussing again. Head Zhan looked at Chairman Xiao Xu with admiration. He did not expect that Professor Hu, a veteran, would be defeated by Xiao Xu. It was really like the new generation replacing the old!
But then again...how could a person like Xiao Xu say such vulgar words as 'Everyone here is garbage'?
Head of the delegation, Zhan, sighed inwardly and finally raised a question: "Mr. Xu, I agree that the future of rural revitalization you mentioned is scientific. But the question is whether this is a bit too ambitious? You know, there are still many places in our country that have not escaped from extreme poverty. Is it too early to talk about the scientific elimination of traditional small-scale farming?"
Xiao Xu replied: "Professor Zhan, there is an old saying that goes, those who do not plan for the overall situation are not qualified to plan for a specific area; those who do not plan for eternity are not qualified to plan for the moment.
"I once saw a martial arts master say 'Pants instead of nuclear weapons'; I also heard someone say on the Internet 'High-speed rail, wait for your people'.
"But if we only focus on the present comfort, can we really realize our great ideals? ... So I think that as long as new developments are in line with scientific values, it is never too early!"
Someone from the inspection team then asked, "Mr. Xu, what is the current status of scientific development in Tianya Township?"
Chairman Xiao Xu blinked his eyes and smiled: "I think you have all heard of the program "Between Scenic Spots" where scenic spots debate swords. If you want to find out how far the scientific development of our Tianya Township has come, then you can go and see it with your own eyes!"
The professors in the inspection team were stunned, and they were all eager to know what little secrets Xiao Xu had hidden in his gourd.
On Saturday night, the final championship round of the "Between Scenic Spots" scenic spot competition officially started!
