For the postgraduate entrance examination? For employment? Going abroad? To be an official and make a fortune ...
I don't know.
Our school wants to turn us into "political elites, business tycoons and academic masters", but do all students want to be political elites, business tycoons and academic masters? What are real political elites, business tycoons and academic masters? How can we become a political elite, a business tycoon and an academic master?
I don't know.
We don't need to know. According to the teacher, good grades are enough. We just need to do our homework in class according to the regulations. So we became good students, attended every class, studied by ourselves every night, and got high marks in all exams. Our employment situation is grim, there are too many people taking the postgraduate entrance examination and too few places to go abroad. How can we stand out without high marks?
But I have questions:
Why study? Do we study only for employment and research? Should we all study according to the design of the school? Does the school have to cut us into qualified students according to market requirements? There are house slaves and car slaves in society. Our school has slave exams and slave distribution.
We made two fatal mistakes. We think that grades are scores and high scores are knowledge. So we developed education into an industry and standardized students into industrial products. Education, like agriculture, should conform to the laws of nature, not go against the sky. Reading is like walking, you have to walk on your own after all. Schools should not show the way at all, let alone walk instead of us. We should go by ourselves, hit a wall and make mistakes. Learn from real masters and thoughts, so as to gain deeper and more real knowledge. In school, invisible whip and visible whip drive us along the established route. The former is the teacher's "persuasive persuasion", and the latter is enough to control your power in the hands of the school. If you are not so good, what will happen now and in the future? The school seems to have a foresight. The result should have been to consciously read your own book.
I am depressed, I am depressed. I don't know what I study for.
Zhou Enlai's ideal of "studying for the rise of China" is awe-inspiring and has been imitated by generations. Today, who dares to be laughed at as "too empty, too idealistic and too unrealistic"? Mao Zedong said that "the purpose of life is to give full play to one's physical and mental abilities to reach the highest level". Chiang Kai-shek said that the purpose of life is to improve the life of all mankind, and the meaning of life is to improve the life that human beings follow. However, our university is utilitarian and manic at present.
Why study?
Reading is to educate people. People will first become politicians, businessmen and scholars.
Reading is to be a real person and seek truth. Our biggest mistake is to use reading as a means to earn real benefits. Our most dangerous measure is to standardize and greatly reduce real people.
Reading is to cultivate free thinking and independent personality. The result of training people into tools and slaves is that slaves will use the same or even more cruel means to train later slaves after becoming slave owners.
Someone said in the article "Why can't China become a master after the Nobel Prize" that the people we cultivate have no personality, so why not? Our system and ideas lack tolerance and transcendence, and we like to "shoot the first bird with a gun". Mr. Jin Xin said in the article "The Helplessness of Colleges and Universities Highlights the Wasteland of Education": Regarding the connotation of life, China's dictionary says that life is a person's existence and all his life experiences. However, in American textbooks, it is stated that life is a performance for dreams and interests. Examination-oriented education is to survive, and it is essentially an education in a cloak.
Society is pluralistic, and so is personality. Why can't our choices be diversified and we can't choose the way and direction of learning according to our own interests? Everyone takes the same road, so what other roads lead to Rome? We put too much emphasis on employment and survival. After our own realm has really reached its due height, how can we always worry about this problem? To be upright, we must first correct ourselves and establish ourselves. We don't emphasize a solid foundation-being a real person and seeking truth and knowledge. Instead, they shout about the state of existence that will naturally exist after having morality and knowledge. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
Of course, in addition to the podium, there are many stages for students to perform in our school, such as student unions, societies, radio stations, press groups and so on. However, these places, which should have students' figures, and more importantly, give students real voices and safeguard their vital interests, do not have the latter, or only some of them are allowed by school interest groups. They are not a bridge between schools and students, but an extension of special interest groups in universities. Student organizations should be the best exercise place for democracy and freedom, and the most advanced ideas, systems and reality are at the forefront of confrontation. Organizations that represent students' interests and protect their vital rights through school games have been suppressed to this extent.
Why study?
We are learning the most advanced and significant achievements of human civilization, and we have high hopes. We should pave the way for the inevitable development trend and direction of mankind, shoulder the mission entrusted to us by the times, walk in the forefront of the times, and put unlimited passion into the most valuable things. Instead of being overwhelmed by reality, bend down and lose your temper. Even though the reality is cruel and our strength is weak, there is one thing we can change.
Education is to cultivate people, cultivate our healthy personality, cultivate our free spirit and independent personality. Only when a person becomes a natural person first can he become a qualified social person. Schools should guide us to become pioneers of the times, leaders of history, and people who create and improve society and information technology. Instead of suppressing our personality, we become secular accomplices, machine parts and even slaves. If we really want to cater to the secular and social classes,
