I believe that most parents instill in us the idea that the purpose of receiving higher education is to make our future life better for ourselves and our parents. To be honest, is this purpose really wrong? Is it wrong to make your future life better for yourself and your parents by your own efforts? At least I think it's a good idea. This is also the purpose of most people receiving higher education now.
But if the purpose of each of us receiving higher education is like this, it is for our small family, then how can our big "home" develop? China is a socialist society and the longest-standing socialist country in the world. Our country has changed from a big agricultural country to a country with the second GDP in the world, from a country with nothing in space, nuclear weapons and information technology to a country with these technologies even among the top in the world. What does this depend on? Don't we rely on the selfless dedication of Qian Qian's predecessors? Don't they have a small family? They do, but they know that if something goes wrong with this big family, it will be difficult for thousands of small families in Qian Qian to develop.
It is precisely because of their selfless dedication to the big family that we have such a life now and have the opportunity to receive higher education for our small family. But is the world at peace now? US President Trump has just left office to suppress China's economic development, and the United States trusts the president as a hawk. How can we develop in such an environment? Shouldn't we start higher education for our big family?
Finally, I ended with a sentence from a military theory teacher. In the Qing dynasty, we fell behind not because we were beaten, but because we were beaten behind. Then shouldn't we strive for a big home?
