Take the wind of thrift and resist the spirit of the times

? -Speech at Fuxing Middle School Class Meeting

Dear teachers and students:

? Hello everyone!

? The topic of my speech at this class meeting is "Riding the wind of thrift and resisting the spirit of the times".

Yunshan used to be gray, and the rivers were vast. The wind of frugality should be high mountains and high waters.

Diligence and thrift cultivate people's cultivation.

A gentleman can overcome difficulties with thrift and virtue, but he can't be proud of wealth. Thrift is a gentleman's personal accomplishment. "Heaven sometimes breeds everything, and the land is limited. Harvesting food is not easy. Compared with the past, we do have food in our hands now, and we are in no hurry. But a full granary is no reason for profligacy. Zhuge Liang once said, "Be quiet to cultivate one's morality, and be frugal to cultivate one's morality. "It can be seen that the wisdom of thrift has been widely advocated since ancient times. A thrifty person must be a conscious, self-disciplined and introspective person. Nowadays, advocating frugality is not only advocating a healthy lifestyle, but also helping people develop the moral quality of persistent thinking and material difficulties, get rid of the bad style of arrogance and extravagance, and show deep-rooted literacy in gestures.

Diligence and thrift are social virtues.

What falls down is leftovers, and what flows away is blood and sweat. As the "flow-level" content of the Internet food circle, many big eaters are falsely deceived under the empty shell of the form and waste food. Food is no longer providing people with energy, enjoyment and happiness, but being used by commercial capital and squandered in anti-common sense and entertaining "performances". "Custom is a major event in the world." It is often enough to take a reasonable way from Sima Guang and use it appropriately; To the frugal style advocated by Zhu, "it is said that the taste is thin and there is still time to cook in the village"; Then, Li Shangyin's long-standing sigh of "looking at the countries of the sages and being thrifty and extravagant" reflects the Chinese nation's admiration and awe for food. Those who cherish food will always have food. Today, the traditional virtue of "being diligent and thrifty, using it wisely" should continue to be believed by people; The social atmosphere of "opposing waste and practicing economy" should continue to be advocated.

Diligence is the soul of a country.

China has used 9% of cultivated land to feed 20% of the world's population, and it's not easy to come all the way. Although China has moved towards a well-off society in an all-round way, in the face of various uncertainties, the alarm of our "food crisis" may ring at any time. COVID-19 epidemic, African locust plague, Brazil fire, domestic flood ... 2020 is doomed to be extraordinary. The United Nations study issued an early warning: "This year, 25 countries are facing serious hunger risks, and the world is on the verge of the worst food crisis in at least 50 years." In the face of the once-in-a-century great changes in the world, we should maintain a sense of crisis. "There will always be a day to think about it, don't keep holding it." Strong is frugal, poor is not poor.

? "This is the best time, this is the worst time; This is the spring of hope, this is the winter of despair, we have everything in this era, and we have nothing in this era; Some people go straight to heaven in this era, and some people go straight to hell in this era. " Grain, the grain of a country; Food, solid food. If there is no food, how can the country survive? China people's rice bowls must be firmly in their own hands at all times. The blue sea of Sangtian needs to be changed instantly, and the wind of thrift cannot be moved. Take advantage of the wind of thrift, resist the wind of the times, and let the barren land bloom with rich flowers; Let the rich land bear the fruit of wisdom.

This is the end of my speech. Thank you.
