China has a tradition of "keeping promises", and maybe it is more trustworthy than the Germans. There are many examples in the Warring States Policy, not to mention the extreme example of "holding the post at the tail". It's enough to make the younger generation proud! But strangely, on the contrary, the subsequent evolution was unexpected. First of all, everything is done by Han Feizi to dispel "honesty"; Later, many political strategists regarded Confucius' doubtful words at the beginning as the standard. It is no wonder that Kang Youwei wrote a book "A Test of New Learning and Pseudo-Classics", saying that the Analects of Confucius was forged by later rogues. There are many examples of this change in literary works. In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Su's honesty is obvious to all, and in the end he ended up with a comment by Mao Zonggang: Loyalty is a useless alias. It's a little sad. Who are you sad for? Lu Su or Mao Zonggang?
I may have gone too far, but I'm really disappointed. The new culture movement swept away all these bad "cultures", which is a great good thing and worth clapping. The next task we face is to try our best to advocate the fine tradition of "honesty-based" and "keeping promises and keeping promises" and do it in person. Let me say one thing here, which may be worth pondering. A freshman went to Peking University to report for duty. There was a lot of business that day, such as getting a meal ticket, getting a student ID card, making the bed and buying a thermos bottle ... The freshman was carrying heavy luggage and didn't know what to do. It happened that an old man came across the street. The freshman thought it was a workmate, so he asked the old master to look after my luggage, okay? The old man said yes. Later, the freshmen went to work. From morning to evening, the freshmen suddenly remembered that their luggage was still being watched by the old man at the school gate. He ran to the school gate full of guilt and didn't hold out much hope. Who knows that the old man is still waiting for him trembling, and his white hair is floating in the wind. Tears of new life suddenly came out.
Only at the entrance ceremony the next day did the freshmen know that the old man was Ji Xianlin, a famous scholar and vice president of Peking University.
A few years later, the freshmen also graduated, and the old headmaster may be looking after the luggage for someone who just reported for duty. The new student is my brother, and his eyes are still shining with tears when he says this.
