There is an old saying: "It is black near Zhu Zhechi and black near Mexico." This sentence emphasizes the influence of living environment on people's growth. I think this statement is a bit absolute. The environment does have an impact on people's growth, but it is not absolute, because the environment is only an external cause, and the external cause will only work through the internal cause. At the same time, people can also choose the environment according to their own internal needs.

The same environment can make different people, so I think: pro-Zhu is not necessarily red, pro-black is not necessarily black.

Pro-Zhu may not be popular. This seems to be a very strange topic. People often say "learn from good people", which means that if you stay with good people and good deeds for a long time, you can improve yourself. Is that really the case? As the saying goes, no matter how good the grass is, there will be thin horses. Whether the people close to Zhu will be red depends entirely on what values exist in the individual's mind.

During the war, some underground workers and some traitors could not stand the torture of the enemy and betrayed the organization in order to drag out an ignoble existence. For example, Zhigao Pu in Red Rock used to be the liaison of the underground party. Once arrested, he could not resist the enemy's threats and inducements and defected to the enemy, which led to the arrest of Jiang Jie and others.

This kind of person is an opportunist at best. He has no faith in his heart, only personal gains and losses. No matter what kind of environment is unfavorable to him, he will bite the people around him at a critical moment, just like the poisonous snake in the fable of Farmers and Snakes.

This situation is also everywhere in today's society. For example, an official who pays bribes and a judge who knows the law and breaks the law, no matter how good the environment is, he can't be changed if he doesn't have a firm belief in his heart. Therefore, it is said that "those who are close to Zhu cannot be red."

In the same way, those who are close to ink are not necessarily black. Tao Yuanming in the Jin Dynasty, the filth of officialdom did not discredit his lofty integrity, but strengthened his determination not to bend over for five buckets of rice.

Because I didn't want to see Du You, I simply untied the ribbon and returned to the countryside. Although Tao Yuanming was in troubled times, he did not go with the flow and condensed his unique lofty heart into a well-known pastoral poem. In that gloomy era, it became a wonderful flower and shone brilliantly in the long river of history.

In the revolutionary war years, those underground workers who went deep into the enemy's camp could not change their firm belief of devoting themselves to the people and the revolution in a dark and dangerous environment, and even torture could not make them yield, such as Jiang Jie, Xu Yunfeng and Cheng Gang in Hongyan. They are "close to ink" but not black, and they have always maintained the integrity of Made in party member, which is still a model praised by the world.

This shows that the environment is not the decisive factor of growth, but the external cause. The same environment will have different growth directions. What really determines the direction of human growth is the inner belief and pursuit. To sum up, I think that "those who are close to Zhu are not necessarily red, and those who are close to ink are not necessarily black".

If you can't change the environment, you must try to change yourself and adapt to the environment. As the saying goes, "the survival of the fittest", as students, all kinds of environment will bring us influence. If some students fail, they will complain. Blindly emphasize the influence of objective environment, what teachers don't teach well, parents don't care about themselves, and so on.

We can't change the objective factors, so we must try to change ourselves and make ourselves stronger. Zou Qing, a post-00 college student in Hunan, took his disabled mother to college, while Liu, a young man from Guizhou, took his sick mother to school. They are unfortunate, but they all have firm beliefs. They use their beliefs to support a crumbling home. They are a clear sky at home.

So, from now on, take action! Since you can't change the environment, try to change yourself and adapt yourself to the environment. Don't be a slave to the environment, be the master of the environment, so as to grow up healthily.
