"Good guys and bad guys"

Contemporary college students should bid farewell to the logical thinking structure of either good or bad, black or white. Everyone has both good and bad sides. All people are equal, and we should let the best parts of humanity shine through, rather than blindly see the dark sides. Taking the "elderly support" incident in society as an example, Bai Yansong analyzed from a deep level that it exactly reflects the problem of insufficient social progress, indicating that my country's current pension insurance system is not perfect enough. Once the elderly are injured, they cannot fully receive corresponding medical protection. Some elderly people choose ‘blackmail’,Perhaps it is to reduce the financial burden on the children.

Don’t stick to a conclusion, change the way of thinking. Bai Yansong provides students with a proper thinking perspective on people and things.

He said that today China is in a period of rapid development and we cannot belittle ourselves too much. We only see our shortcomings from the inside, but outsiders see more of our strengths. When he was applying for a visa to go to the London Olympics two days ago, he found that the efficiency of the British was too low. Everyone was used to their high efficiency, but they didn't realize it. "So, we must look at the problem comprehensively. College students must bid farewell to this purely binary thinking structure, restore the facts to the truth, and see the broad road in the middle."

The lecture venue was packed

Me and others

When it comes to political reform, Bai Yansong said that the recently revised labor security regulations for female employees have added new content such as extended maternity leave, pregnancy insurance, and prevention of sexual harassment, which is a concrete manifestation of the protection of human rights. What China needs is not simply shouting slogans in ears, but more institutional construction that guarantees democracy and freedom.

In addition to economic reform and political reform, he believes that what China needs more is a spiritual reform, which allows us to re-examine ourselves. Now we only hear accusations against others, but ignore self-restraint. A long time ago, faith, especially religious belief, was used to soothe the soul to eliminate the inner fear of death, but now it has slowly evolved into a philosophy of life, a kind of self-restraint and second-level management. The core of faith is "reverence", which restricts people's behavioral norms, just like a river bed, preventing passionate rivers from overflowing. Nowadays, complaining is a common trend in society. For example, in schools, everyone from the principal, teachers to students will blame each other. However, in the final analysis, the most important thing is to be yourself.

"China is what you are. China's changes must start from itself." His wonderful speech won warm applause from the audience. Bai Yansong said that journalists are like woodpeckers. They dig out harmful things from tree trunks and at the same time make food for themselves. In this society, we need to blame ourselves more instead of just blaming others. The same is true for journalists. While resisting, they also need to reflect on themselves. He pointed his finger at the audience and said: "Remember that many years ago, there was such a newsman. He pointed his finger at you, and he also pointed at himself."

"Useful and Useless"

He looks back on his own life80In this era, it seems that useless things are often regarded as useful. He asked the audience, is it useful to write poetry in college? Is it useful to choose to walk slowly back to w88 casino after watching a drama in the middle of the night? “Looking back now, it was Wuwu who laid the foundation and gave us a new way of thinking, an open mind and a close blood relationship with this country. "Nowadays, many people like to start quickly, seek shortcuts to reach their destination quickly, and overly divide the boundaries between "useful" and "useless". Looking at the business cards given by others, this person is useful and keeps the business card, that person is useless and the business card is torn. China is currently in a period of transformation. We are always doing things that we think are "useful", but if there is no innovation, no property rights, and no new thinking, I They can only work for others forever. The greatest invention of mankind comes from "uselessness" and curiosity. If people today are hit by an apple, they will either eat it or sell it. "If Steve Jobs had lived in China, he would have gone to real estate speculation after making Apple. Then he became a famous real estate developer and became the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. After his death, his tombstone said "Vice Provincial Level" because Apple became a state-owned enterprise. " Bai Yansong's witty remarks caused the audience to burst into laughter. When the painter Huang Gongwang's work "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" was completed, no one cared about it, but now it has become a bargaining chip for attracting investment in the relevant cities. It seemed "useless" at the time, but it has become "useful" many years later. He emphasized that returning to the present, "we must do the 'useful' things, but we must also give space to the 'useless'. Many great wisdoms are in the 'useless'. ”

Student questions

After the speech, the audience was still not satisfied and asked Bai Yansong questions one after another. When asked why he was alive, Bai Yansong said "because I don't want to commit suicide" and elicited laughter. Then, he said quietly: "First of all, I don't want to commit suicide, I want to live. Secondly, what I pursue in life is a process, which means you will choose to spend every day happily or sadly. Due to various factors, people have to live, and then we think about how to live better, that's all. ”

Although this speech lasted for a short time, the students responded enthusiastically. Bai Yansong's words were thought-provoking and left a deep impression on the audience.
