That's probably what it means, and the rest is hard to say. However, this post was really hot at that time, which caused a lot of repercussions on the Internet.
First of all, this should be Zheng Qiang's speech in a university.
Zheng Qiang covered many aspects in this speech, but the central idea is that there is something wrong with education now, which makes our younger generation lose their creativity and lack the dauntless spirit of our ancestors.
I should have seen the video. Zheng Qiang's speech won hundreds of applause. Later, I don't know why this video disappeared, which may be related to the sensitive content inside.
In this video, Zheng Qiang mentioned many famous people in the education field, and then he gave some examples, which are not suitable for widespread dissemination. Anyway, there seems to be something wrong with the video now, and it is normal to disappear later.
Whatever the reason, it was nearly twenty years ago after all. The idea at that time may not be suitable for the current national conditions, and it is not surprising to delete it.
Second, Zheng Qiang himself.
At that time, Zheng Qiang was a professor at Zhejiang University, 1960 was born in Wuyishan, Fujian. Zheng Qiang is currently the Party Secretary of Taiyuan University of Technology and a member of the Standing Committee of Shanxi Provincial People's Congress.
Zheng Qiang himself is a chemist, but in the eyes of many people, he is more like an orator. He often speaks amazingly and has sharp views, but behind his sharp words, he is a passionate advocate of western education. The reason why Zheng Qiang is "red" is precisely because he can see the pain points and difficulties of education, penetrate the hearts of the people and hit the nail on the head, making people feel "painful" but "cool". The so-called glare at King Kong is also compassion. Behind the sharp words of "network celebrity principal" is his deep affection for education.
Due to his early education experience, Zheng Qiang has a keen and unique view of the problem, and he often speaks amazingly. He has his own unique views on current education, and these views are not groundless, but combined with what he has seen, heard and felt, and these views have been resonated by many people.
In fact, it doesn't matter what Zheng Qiang published, but what he expressed is the most important. As an educator, he deeply reflected on China's education system and saw many problems that others didn't see. Probably related to his experience in studying abroad, he can jump out of the circle of domestic education, find problems from the perspective of comparison with foreign education, and sharply point out the disadvantages of our current education.
