Xiaobao went to school when he was 6 years old. In order to educate his son, Zheng Banqiao wrote a letter to his younger brother Zheng Mo. He wrote in the letter: "I only got a son when I was fifty-two years old. How can I not love him! However, love must be done in the right way." The way is true love, not the way is doting."

What is his "way"? He said: "It is a trivial matter to pass the examination and become an official. The first thing is to be sensible and be a good person."

Zheng Banqiao himself is a scholar. He does not look down on scholars. What he looks down on is: reading. Just to be an official.

What Zheng Banqiao values ??most is his son’s moral character. He said to his younger brother: "When I am not at home, your son will be under your control. You must cultivate his loyalty and drive away his cruel nature. You must not indulge him as a child."

The first time I met Professor Luska was in 1993. At that time, I was studying for a master's degree in Chongqing. Due to a Sino-French scientific research project, in the autumn of that year, Professor Luska, a tenured professor at the School of Urban and Environmental Engineering at the University of Toulouse in France, came to China to discuss relevant technical issues. Communicate and discuss with the Chinese research team.

It should be said that in the Sino-foreign scientific and technological cooperation in the 1990s, most of the key technologies were provided by foreign parties, while China organized efforts to digest and absorb them. Our project also adopted this model. In view of this, and Professor Luska's lofty academic status, all Chinese members inevitably have a strong sense of awe for him, and I, the most junior student, secretly hold on to him. The original intention is to only be a serious listener and never participate in the discussion.

Everyone has a similar mentality to me, so academic exchanges are destined to be obviously uneven from the beginning. When raising questions to Professor Luska, the Chinese research team must carefully prepare the questions in advance. In preparation, the elected representatives were even more cautious when speaking, fearing that their words would be embarrassing and generous; as for the questions that Professor Luska was interested in and took the initiative to raise, no one from the Chinese research team was willing to come forward to give a comprehensive explanation, and the "general" had to Those who speak often elaborate in a few words, and then end with "We still need to study further." As a result, an academic exchange quickly evolved into a one-man show in which Professor Luska "answered questions". Sitting in a corner of the conference room, I found that in the face of this embarrassing tacit understanding, Professor Luska shook his head several times and smiled bitterly, with deep helplessness and disappointment on his face.

In order to break this rather embarrassing atmosphere, the leaders of the scientific research department of the college accompanied him and immediately showed the hospitable side of the Chinese people. With a smile on his face, he suggested that Professor Luska take some time to visit the Dazu Rock Carvings, Jinyun Mountain and other places of interest in Chongqing. While the translator was translating this beautiful message into French, Professor Luska began to shrug his shoulders, spread his hands on his chest several times, and muttered something in his mouth.

The conference room was silent for a while, and then a smile appeared on Professor Luska's face again. After politely declining the host's kindness, he cleared his throat and said, "Actually, through the exchange just now, I found that all of my colleagues have quite a lot of research on fluidized bed technology, and the reason why our discussion was not in-depth enough, IMHO, is because everyone chose too many compromises during the communication process. This reminds me of a French saying Here comes the proverb." At this point, he paused briefly, and then slowly raised his voice, "In my country, this proverb is: Compromise is a good umbrella, but it is a poor roof."

< p> "Compromise is a good umbrella, but a poor roof." Professor Luska said this proverb twice and asked the translator to repeat it. When the translator finished speaking for the second time, the conference room suddenly fell into a deeper silence. Everyone lowered their heads in unison, and some even turned red in the face.

A few more uncomfortable minutes passed. I don’t know where I got the courage. Surprisingly, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. I was the first to stand up on my own initiative: “Professor Luska, I want to talk about the water entering the reactor. Direction, talk about your own views..."

In the summer of the second year, due to the sincere cooperation between China and France, the project successfully passed the acceptance and was put into practical application, and I, as a member of the research team Members of the company also benefited from the project and left their names on an international patent for a "new oblique spiral sedimentation device". It was this patent that helped me a lot in my job search after graduation, and it can even be said to have changed the trajectory of my life.

"Compromise is a good umbrella, but it is a poor roof." This short and concise proverb made me understand a profound truth: in the confrontation between people and things in life, appropriate compromise Although necessary, open and honest communication and communication should be the initial choice of both parties.

Colonel Scott was the second person in the world to reach the South Pole. I think there is no story more touching and tragic than his. The tragic death of Colonel Scott and his two companions on the Ross Glacier in Antarctica is still regrettable.

On a sunny afternoon in February 1913, the saffron flowers were blooming enthusiastically in the Royal Garden, and news of Colonel Scott's death reached Britain. The news shocked the whole of Britain. At this time, only the news of Admiral Nelson's death in the Battle of Trafalgar had so shocked the British.

Twenty-two years after Colonel Scott’s death, the British built a permanent memorial to him, the Polar Museum, which was also the world’s first polar museum.

When this museum opened, polar explorers from all over the world came. On the top of this building, there is an inscription dedicated to Robert Scott, written in Latin: "He went to explore the secrets of Antarctica, but found the secrets of God."

Scott Colonel Kurt went on an Antarctic expedition aboard the ship "Terra Nova". After the ship entered the ice ocean of the Antarctic Circle, he encountered bad luck repeatedly. The huge waves roared, hitting the hull tirelessly, sweeping away the cargo on the ship. Cold seawater poured into the cabin, the fire in the boiler was extinguished, and the water pump stopped rotating, but the ship was helpless and fearless. The ship still sailed in the roaring sea for many days. In fact, Scott's bad luck has just begun.

He once brought several strong ponies that could run in the ice and snow of Siberia, but they suffered greatly when they reached the Pole. Their legs stepped into the ice cave and were broken. They struggled in vain in the heavy snow. In desperation, they had no choice but to end their pain with bullets. The sled dogs brought by Colonel Scott from the Eskimos also ran away in the crevices of the glacier.

Scott and his four companions had no choice but to leave their horses and dogs behind, dragging a sled weighing about 1,000 pounds, and continue towards the Antarctic. Day after day, they pulled the sled and struggled to move forward on the hard ice in the thin, cold air at an altitude of 9,000 feet. They were so tired that they were out of breath and their throats were clogged by the cold. However, no one complained because they believed that the secrets of Antarctica were waiting for them at the end of the most difficult journey. It had not been disturbed there since the beginning of time. There was nothing breathing there, not even a seagull, and there was complete silence.

After 14 days, they finally reached the Antarctic - but what awaited them was only shock and disappointment. Not far from them, in the ice and snow, stood a wooden pole with a rag on top swaying in the howling cold wind. It’s the flag! The flag of Norway! It turned out that the Norwegian explorer Amundsen was one step ahead of them - they didn’t expect that after years of careful planning, months of desperate struggle, and countless hardships, Amundsen was He got there first - he was only five weeks ahead of them.

This was a huge blow to them, and they embarked on their way home with a sense of loss. In fact, it was when they returned to civilization that they truly experienced the Odyssey-like ordeal. The biting cold wind covered their bodies with a layer of ice, even their beards were frozen. The group of people stumbled towards death.

The first to die was the strong officer Evans. He accidentally slipped and his head was smashed on the ice. Then came Captain Oates. His feet were frozen and he could no longer walk. He knew that this would affect his companions, so one night, he did a sacred and tragic thing - in order to save his companions, he crawled out of the tent and froze to death in the wind and snow. There were no heroic words or moving performances. He just said calmly, "I want to go outside for a walk and come back in a while." However, he never came back. His body was never found, and now a memorial has been erected at the spot where he disappeared, with the words "A fearless gentleman died nearby."

Scott and the remaining two companions continued to struggle back. They were frozen beyond recognition. My nose, fingers, and feet were all frozen to the point of breaking. On February 19, 1912, the 20th day after leaving Antarctica, they set up their tent for the last time. They only had enough food to eat for two days and only enough fuel to make two cups of tea. They thought they were definitely saved - they were only 11 miles away from where they had buried food and other items. As long as they exert their last effort, they should be able to reach that place.

But unexpectedly, tragedy happened at this last moment. They encountered violent winds that could break ice into pieces. No living thing on earth could withstand such a hurricane. Scott and two companions were trapped in the tent for 11 days, but the strong wind was still roaring and showed no intention of stopping. By this time, they had run out of ammunition and food. They knew their end had come. There was only one road before them—an easy road. They had brought quite a lot with them when they set out, prepared for such a critical moment. They just need to eat more and they can fall asleep and never wake up again. However, they did not want to take this road, and they were determined to fight to the end with the British martial spirit and destiny.

An hour before his death, Scott wrote a letter to the famous writer Sir Barry, describing the situation before their death. All their food was gone. Death is about to come to them. However, at such a moment, Scott wrote: "If you could hear us singing happy songs in the tent, you might feel better."

8 months later , the warm sunshine shone on the Antarctic land again, and a search team found their frozen bodies. The team members buried their bodies on the spot and made a cross out of two sleds. On their tombstones are written the famous lines from the long poem "Ulysses" by the British poet Tennyson:

Several heroic hearts, although destroyed by time and fate, have a strong will Still moving forward and never giving in.
