The auditorium was in chaos!
Zhang Ye's unconventional play had shocked everyone!
An old professor from the Math department shouted, "Little Zhang! Come down! "
Yan Jiantao also said, "This is ridiculous. Isn't he deliberately causing trouble!?"
Another old lecturer in his sixties also said, "Young people these days are too unruly! How can a closing speech be spoken in such a manner!? "
Wu Zeqing interrupted them and said gently, "Let's hear Teacher Little Zhang finish. This is just the opening. The meaning of the closing speech is to conclude the speech. There's nothing wrong with that."
Then, Zhang Ye spoke again, "I see many people revealing looks of puzzlement and surprise. Maybe everyone thinks that Professor Yan's words are what you have always known, and that it has long been a fact. Why do I have to oppose it? Because in my heart, there exists a young China! "
Young China?
What young China?
No one understood what he was saying!
Zhang Ye was too ruthless. For this closing speech, or rather, this speech, he had used the famous "Ode to Young China" by Liang Qichao from his world. Although this masterpiece had many years of history and was very old, it was not outdated. Even now, in this world, "Ode to Young China" still shone brilliantly!
However, this article was a little "dangerous".
But so what? Zhang Ye smiled and did not turn back!
"Is a country young or old? Let us first talk about the old and the young. The old often think about the past, while the young often think about the future. Only thinking about the past, gives birth to nostalgia. Only thinking about the future, gives birth to hope. Only nostalgia, gives birth to conservatism. Only hope, gives birth to progress. Only conservatism, gives birth to the old. Only progress, gives birth to the new day. Only thinking about the past, everything is what it has been, so we do as usual. Only thinking about the future, everything is what it has never been, so we often dare to break the rules. "
After he said this, many people were stunned!
These words were not difficult to understand, but the words were not ordinary vernacular!
Su Na was somewhat shocked. Many people also found it unbelievable. It was not because of the meaning behind the words, but because they did not believe that this was something that Zhang Ye had written without a script!
Without a script?
Was this really a f * * king impromptu speech!?
How could that be? How could he make something up on the spot?
After that, many people were shocked and angered!
For example, the "old man" Yan Jiantao and the other old professors around him were furious!
Who the hell is conservative? Who the hell is always reminiscing about the past? Who the f * ck didn't want to improve? Zhang Ye, you are too much of a grandson! Why are you cursing at me when I'm giving a closing speech!?
Zhang Ye spoke with fervor and assurance, "Old people tend to worry, while young people tend to have fun. It is only worry that leads to discouragement; it is only pleasure that leads to exuberance. Discouragement is the reason for cowardice. Vigor is the reason for heroism. It is only cowardice that causes us to drift along; it is only heroism that causes us to take risks. The only way to destroy the world is to take risks, and the only way to create the world is to take risks. Old men are often wearisome, young men happy. Only because he is tired of doing things, he often feels that nothing can be done. Only because he is good, he often feels that nothing can be done. The old are like the setting sun, and the young are like the rising sun. Old people are like barren cattle, and young people are like young tigers. The old are like monks, the young are like heroes. Old people are like dictionaries, young people are like dramas. Old people are like opium cigarettes, young people are like brandy. Old people are like meteorites on other planets, young people are like coral islands in the ocean. Old people are like willows after autumn, young people are like grass before spring. Old people are like the Dead Sea, young people are like the source of the Yangtze River. This is the difference between old people and young people. "Saying that, Zhang Ye concluded," This is inherent in people, and so is the country! "
Old people are timid?
Old people are weary of the world?
Old people do not dare to take risks?
Old people are like old cows? Like smoking opium? Like falling pop?
There were many old Peking University professors and lecturers present. When they heard this, they were so angry that they blew their beards and stared. No one liked to hear it!
Yan Jiantao blew his top. The other old comrades were still fine, as they knew that Zhang Ye was not targeting them, but these words were definitely scolding Yan Jiantao!
Su Na said in shock, "Teacher Zhang is crazy! Scolding people like that? "
Professor Zeng slapped his thigh excitedly, "He's not crazy! He's not scolding people either! "
"But, but there's even a word of contempt here!" Su Na did not understand.
Professor Zeng laughed heartily, "If we 'old people' can't even accept this bit of verbal 'frivolity' for the sake of our children, then we are the kind of people that Little Zhang is talking about! Well done, Little Zhang! This brat always broadens people's horizons! "
The youths all felt their blood boil when they heard this!
Zhang Ye completely ignored the angry gazes of the old professors, "The one who created today's China is the injustice of China's old age. The one who creates the future youth of China is the responsibility of China's youth. The day he leaves this world is not far away. As for me, a youth, I am a newcomer, and I am fated with this world. Just like the old man, he will move to another place tomorrow, while I have just entered this room today. Just like the one who is about to move, he does not cherish his windows, and does not clean his courtyard. What is there to be surprised about the sentiments of the common people! If I were a youth, my future would be vast, but my future would be boundless. In China, I would be a cow, a horse, a slave, and a servant. The cruelty of cooking and whipping is something only I, a youth, can bear. If China rules over the universe, and dominates the Earth, then the glory of commanding the world, can only be enjoyed by me, a youth. If I were to be near death, and be neighbors with ghosts, what would I do? If I were to treat it indifferently, there would be nothing to say. If I were to treat it indifferently, there would be nothing to say. Let the youths of the nation be youths, then our China will be the nation of the future, its progress immeasurable. If the entire country's youth were to be called a youth, then our China would be the country of the future, and its progress would be immeasurable.
If the entire country's youth were to be called a youth, then our China would be the country of the past, and we would be able to wait for its demise! "
At this point, more and more people began to look at Zhang Ye in shock!
The old Vice President took a deep breath!
The other Vice President was stunned for a moment, but did not say a word. He only looked deeply at Wu Zeqing. This Old Wu, how did she find such a person!?
A few of the older people present slowly realized that Zhang Ye's speech was not to scold them. Although his words were disrespectful, after experiencing it, it did not seem to have that intention. Zhang Ye was giving pointers and educating the "youth" present!
However, Yan Jiantao could not accept it. He gritted his teeth!
Cao Mengmeng looked around with her big eyes, "What is my brother saying? Why can't I understand a single word?"
Teacher Leng clenched her fists in excitement, "Your brother … is now doing an important speech that will subvert the current understanding of education! Students! Everyone listen carefully! Listen carefully and do not miss a word! If not, you will regret it for the rest of your life! It's alright if you don't understand. You will slowly understand in the future! You just need to remember one thing. Teacher Zhang Ye's talent alone is better than a billion people! "
Cao Mengmeng said happily, "Really?"
Beside her was Cao Mengmeng's language class representative. He understood everything, "Mengmeng, your brother is too fierce! In the future, he will be my figurine! "
Another Shanghai Secondary School teacher in front also had a look of disbelief on his face, "This is what can truly be called a great speech!" Following that, he looked at his students, "Everyone, listen carefully! Teacher Zhang Ye is risking universal condemnation, and even risking his own future as a bet … to teach you! You … must not let down Teacher Zhang Ye's painstaking efforts! " Upon saying this, the teacher's hands trembled. He never expected Zhang Ye to go this far for the children. If he asked himself, he would definitely not be able to do it. He definitely would not take such a huge risk to teach the children. He did not have the literary talent to do so!
Many students nodded solemnly, "Teacher, we understand!" Seeing the teacher's expression, they knew that this matter was very important.
Yao Cui was already dumbfounded!
Senior Song also gasped, "Teacher Zhang, this …"
Senior Zhou stood up impulsively, "Don't speak! Don't speak! Listen to what Teacher Zhang has to say next! "
Zhang Ye looked at the students present. What made him feel gratified was that he could tell from the faces of many of them that they had understood what he was trying to say. How could the students who came to attend the gala be mediocre? They were all top students or top students in the school, so this little bit of difficulty with words would not stump them.
He was very happy.
Zhang Ye was also very satisfied.
Since you understand, since you like to listen, then there's nothing I can't say. So what if I offend people? As long as you listen, as long as you can gain something from it, then I, Zhang Ye, will not blink even if I offend ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million people!
Even if the world falsely accuses me, I will have no regrets!
"Therefore, today's responsibility does not lie with others, but with me, a youth." Zhang Ye took a deep breath and said the famous line from "Ode to Young China" that everyone in his world knew, "The wisdom of a youth leads to the wisdom of a country. The wealth of a youth leads to the wealth of a country. The strength of a youth leads to the strength of a country. The independence of a youth leads to the independence of a country. The freedom of a youth leads to the freedom of a country. The progress of a youth leads to the progress of a country. The youth surpasses Europe, and the country surpasses Europe. The youth dominates the world, and the country dominates the world!"
The strength of a youth leads to the strength of a country?
The wisdom of a youth leads to the wisdom of a country?
Upon saying this, more and more primary and secondary school students and teachers stood up from their seats!
Zhang Ye looked at everyone, "When the red sun rises, its light is great. When the river flows, it pours into the ocean. When the hidden dragon soars into the abyss, its scaled claws fly. When the tiger roars in the valley, all beasts tremble. When the eagle tests its wings, the wind blows. When the wondrous flower is born, it's majestic. When the general shines, it's radiant. When the sky wears its blue, the earth treads its yellow. Even through the ages, there's still time. The future is like the sea, there's still a long way to go! "
Upon saying this, Zhang Ye's voice suddenly rose. He pointed to the sky in a majestic manner and said, "My beautiful youth, China, will never grow old!" Then, Zhang Ye forcefully pointed to the ground, "My strong youth, China, will never grow old with the country!"
At this moment, all the young students attending the gala, even the Peking University students, could not help but stand up!
