"I heard that you were very impulsive yesterday. Someone said that you scolded someone during the discussion of the education group?" Jiang Yingxue stared straight at Li He. She did not believe that Li He would do such a ridiculous thing on such an occasion.
Li He smiled and said, "Are you talking about the director with the surname Sun?"
"Yes." Li He nodded without the slightest shame. He even said bluntly, "If it wasn't for the fact that the occasion was too solemn, I would have beaten him up."
A person with the surname Sun published an article called "The Contest in the Summer Camp". It reported that in August 1992, during the joint summer camp between China and Japan, the Chinese children returned to the base camp to sleep when they were sick, while the Japanese children endured to the end when they were sick.
The Japanese parents left by bus and only left encouragement for the children who had a fever, while the Chinese parents came and pulled their children onto the bus when it was difficult.
Therefore, the Japanese publicly said that the children of this generation were no match for them.
This report caused a strong reaction throughout the country. Since the autumn and winter of 1993, it had been widely republished and introduced, attracting the attention of all walks of life. It became a hot topic of public discussion, especially when it was reported by the mainstream media.
After the implementation of the one-child policy, the first generation of children born in the 1980s became the "defeated generation" and the "spoiled generation". "Spoiled", "selfish", and "lazy" became synonyms for them.
From this, it was discussed that the core of education was not imparting knowledge, but cultivating a healthy personality. They began to criticize exam-oriented education.
In short, after the cultural reflection and political opposition, the Chinese lost in education once again.
"Everyone is looking at the current situation of education from a different perspective and reflecting on the cultivation of the next generation. What's wrong with that?" Jiang Yingxue was so angry that she laughed. She felt that Li He was a little too stubborn. "After reading this article a few times, a huge question mark weighed heavily on my heart. Under the conditions of the market economy, people generally pay attention to creating a comfortable environment for their children. Should we also let our children have more awareness of being independent? What direction should our education be headed in?"
Li He let out a long sigh. He couldn't help but light a cigarette and said lightly, "There's nothing wrong with reflecting, and there's nothing wrong with pointing out mistakes. But if it's based on subjective conjecture, do you think I should scold you?"
"Reportage itself is a kind of literature. Even a documentary will have some literary embellishments based on objective facts." Jiang Yingxue thought for a moment and said, "The purpose of this article is to reveal the crisis of China's education, not to belittle Chinese children. Do you think that China's current education system is perfect?"
"Of course not. There are still many problems, such as unfair education." Li He looked at her and said bluntly, "With the development of society and the uneven development of the economy, it will gradually lead to the imbalance of educational resources. The gap between China's college entrance examination rates between urban and rural areas will continue to widen, and the chances of rural children going to university will decrease. Not only will the inequality of higher education not improve, but the inequality between urban and rural areas will also increase.
The inequality of secondary education is the key to the inequality of education between urban and rural areas. The early rural education policy and the deepening urban-rural dual structure are gradually marginalizing rural education. "
Jiang Yingxue said, "You look at the problem from a different perspective than I do. Does this mean that you don't support the current comprehensive development of education?"
"Of course I support it. All-rounded development of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty, and labor has always been the way of education, but the focus should still be on textbooks and exam-oriented education. Some people even want to abolish mathematics in high school because it's not needed to buy groceries, and knowing four equations of arithmetic is enough. There are also people who want to abolish English because it's impossible for them to go abroad in this lifetime." Li He laughed as he spoke.
Jiang Yingxue said mischievously, "I support this decision. When I was in school, I felt that the most difficult subject was mathematics. I didn't expect that I would still have to learn it after I went to university. I think if we really had a vote, I think 80% to 90% of people would support this decision. "
Li He smiled and said, "In 1991, the Three-South Reform. It's impossible that you don't know about such a big event, right?"
In 1991, the three provinces of Hunan, Qiong, and Yunnan underwent an education reform. Mathematics was not tested in literature and history, and Chinese was not tested in medicine and agriculture. As a result, many students with poor foundations in mathematics and Chinese entered universities. Compared to the students from other provinces, there was an obvious gap in the learning ability of these students, and they could not adapt well to learning basic subjects.
Therefore, this reform was a waste paper after two years.
"I've heard a little about it." Jiang Yingxue composed herself and continued, "Alright, one last thing. I still want to do an exclusive interview with you. I think it'll be very interesting. Regardless of whether your thoughts are right or wrong, I think it can let more people understand, so why not? It'll be much more effective than you scolding people at the venue, right? "
Li He still smiled and shook his head. "Forgive me for not being able to comply. If it's just to express some of my thoughts, words are enough. However, I know that the media nowadays has a bad habit of taking things out of context. That's not good. "
"You don't even believe me?" Jiang Yingxue asked.
"You must be joking." Li He finished a bottle of beer and waved at the waiter. "Refill my rice."
Jiang Yingxue said with interest, "Actually, you haven't changed much."
"How can I not have changed? A man after thirty is no longer alone. He has his own family, children, and wife. He has to think about earning money to support his family, his wife has to shop, and his children have to go to school. He even has to think about his daily necessities. "Li He touched his forehead inadvertently, and his wrinkles deepened.
"You're so humorous."
He was already the richest man in the world, so why would he still need to think about his daily necessities? She naturally thought that Li He was joking.
Then, they chatted for a while and shook hands to bid farewell.
He Fang held the newspaper and said, "Do you still want your reputation? You're always spouting nonsense."
Li He said nonchalantly, "History will prove that I'm right."
"You should also change your temper. You talk nonsense, and it has a huge impact on our school." He Fang had no way to deal with Li He's stubborn temper. He was amenable to coaxing but not coercion, so she could only persuade him.
"Don't worry, this is the last time. I won't be interviewed by the media anymore."
Li He felt that it was time to restrain himself. He could not ignore the consequences just because he wanted to talk fast.
Li Kuo used three months to get a girlfriend. No one objected to it. It was normal for young people to fall in love. However, Li Yan was furious when she saw Li Kuo washing clothes for his girlfriend and spending a month's salary without a penny left.
"That's not even close yet! You're just going to spoil her? "
Li Kuo retorted, "I care about her. Why can't I?"
He Fang said, "Silly boy, this is the consequence of not studying. You haven't read 'The Story of the Vegetable Root', right? Kindness should be mild but strong. Those who are strong first and then weak will forget their kindness. Those who are strong first and then strict will complain about their cruelty. "
"Sis, I don't understand what you're saying." Li Kuo did not dare to talk back to He Fang.
He Fang glanced at Li He and then said with a smile, "If you use flattery and pampering to maintain a relationship, it will not end well."
Li Yan snorted coldly, "Lower your self-esteem and then expect the other party to give you emotional charity? Don't be so childish, okay? "
