Truth is people’s correct reflection of objective things and their laws. Chernyshevsky said: "Truth is truth only because it is opposed to fallacy and hypocrisy."
A life that pursues truth is a meaningful life. Bacon said: "Studying the truth, knowing the truth and believing the truth are the highest virtues in life." Tolstoy also said: "The past, present and future will always be beautiful things, that is truth."
The pursuit of truth is the greatest pleasure in life. Ivan Sechenov is a Russian biologist. In 1862, through anatomical experiments on frogs, he published articles such as "Inhibition of Spinal Nerves by Frog Brains" and the book "Reflexes of the Brain", making great contributions to neurophysiology. However, the Tsarist Russian government actually regarded the promotion of scientific truth as a crime and arrested Sechenov and interrogated him. In the court, the judge said to Sechenov: "You can find yourself a defense witness." Sechenov calmly replied: "Let the frog be my witness!" In the face of the enemy's power, the scientist He looked calm because he knew that the truth was on his side.
We should pursue the truth bravely. Copernicus said: "Man's bounden duty is to have the courage to explore the truth." Zhu De traveled across the oceans to seek the truth overseas. In 1922, in order to express his determination to believe in communism, Zhu De resolutely took off his riding boots, changed into his military uniform, gave up his glory and wealth, and came to Shanghai alone. He found Chen Duxiu, the then head of the Communist Party of China, and asked to join the party, but Chen Duxiu did not agree to Zhu De's application. Zhu De then decided to study abroad, go to Germany, and go to the hometown of Marx and Engels to find the truth. In November 1922, Zhu De came to the port of Marseille, France. He heard that the head of the European branch of the Communist Youth League of China was in Berlin. He didn't even unpack his luggage and went straight to Germany. Here, he met Zhou Enlai, who was 12 years younger than him, and solemnly made a request to the 24-year-old young man to join the Communist Party. The request was quickly approved. From then on, Comrade Zhu De stood at the forefront of the new era and fought for the Chinese revolution all his life.
The pursuit of truth requires a fearless spirit. Gorky said: "The truth cannot be extinguished even with the ocean of blood." "Since ancient times, no one has died, and his loyalty will be remembered by history." This is the eternal saying of the national hero Wen Tianxiang. Not only did he write it, he actually did it. One day in 1283, Chaishikou in the capital was crowded with people, and all the people wept. Wen Tianxiang walked to the execution ground calmly. For more than three years, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty kept him in a dungeon and used threats and inducements to force him to surrender. Wen Tianxiang "cannot be subdued by force" and "cannot be lascivious by wealth", and remained unmoved. Today, Wen Tianxiang knew that he had reached the end of his life. He said to the execution soldiers: "My business is over, please go ahead!" After saying that, he bowed to the south and said his final farewell to the motherland and the people. Wen Tianxiang died heroically at the age of 47. When Mrs. Ouyang went to collect the body, she found a suicide note from his belt, which read: "Confucius said to become benevolent, Mencius said to obtain righteousness, but the righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence is the best. What have you learned from reading the books of sages, and what will happen now?" , I have no shame.”
Let us pursue the truth bravely with a fearless spirit!
