Zhou Enlai was only a child of twelve or thirteen when he was studying in Shenyang. He studies hard and often discusses the idea of reading books and newspapers with his teachers and classmates. At that time, what they discussed most was how to save the country and how to publicize it.
Zhou Enlai listens carefully in class, completes his homework carefully, respects his teachers, unites his classmates, is polite and observes discipline. He pays special attention to extracurricular reading to make up for the lack of in-class learning. He reads a wide range of books and newspapers. Besides social science books, natural science and military science books are also his favorite reading materials. He can also read and compare the contents of several books and explore the most scientific contents and answers.
One day, President Wei of Dongguan Model College called the students together and asked them, "What is reading for?"
Some students said, "In order to find a way out for myself in the future."
Some students said, "To make a fortune."
Another classmate said, "Help parents keep accounts." It turns out that his father is a businessman.
President Wei asked, "What about you? Why do you want to study? "
Zhou Enlai stood up and said loudly, "Learn for the rise of China." In other words, for the prosperity of the Chinese nation, stand in the world like a giant and learn.
Teachers and classmates all looked at him admiringly.
Zhou Enlai has been in primary school for three years, and his academic performance has been among the best. His composition was selected as a model essay for primary school students and sent to the province. This article entitled "The Second Anniversary of Dongguan Model School" was later included in two books, School Chinese Achievement published by Shanghai Progressive Bookstore and Selected Chinese Achievement of Middle School published by Shanghai Dadong Bookstore. This article of more than 900 words is very wonderful and full of ardent hopes for teachers and classmates. I hope that teachers and students will shoulder the arduous responsibility of the country in the future. This is very valuable for a child of 13 years old.
After graduating from high school, Zhou Enlai returned to his alma mater, Shenyang, and visited teachers and friends before studying in Japan. He wrote a farewell letter to a good classmate: "Ambition in all directions" and "I hope to meet China, which is soaring in the world". We will meet again when the Chinese nation is independent and prosperous. This classmate kept the inscription 1957 for 40 years and gave it to Premier Zhou Enlai. Two old classmates finally met again in New China after liberation and talked about the earth-shaking changes in the motherland.
Studying for the rise of China is the goal of Zhou Enlai's life. Only in this way can Zhou Enlai be admired by everyone and become a perfect incarnation.
China's rise and reading.
-Follow in the footsteps of great men 1995
The warm applause of my classmates just now reminds me of a burst of applause 86 years ago. 84 years ago, that is, 19 1 1 years ago, in the classroom of Dongguan Primary School in Shenyang, the teacher asked, "What is the purpose of your study?" Some students replied that taxes are for officials, some taxes are for making a fortune, and some say they are for glorifying ancestors; Zhou Enlai, who is only 13 years old, replied "studying for the rise of China". The words were amazing and the applause was everywhere.
Everyone has his own interests. For thousands of years, there have been many different answers about why we should study. In the TV series Flowers in August, Hu Xueyan's father, Hu Daohong, studied hard at the cold window for decades and died of a stroke on the day of promotion. In The Scholars, Wu's characters went crazy on the spot when they saw that they were on the list. In their minds, "there is a golden house in the book and Yan Ruyu in the book". Everything in the world is inferior, only reading is high. Therefore, studying as an official has become their ideal and hard pursuit.
Hu Daohong and Jin Fan are so ridiculous, sad and pitiful. In contrast, their ideal of reading is so small and short-sighted. Then, why should Zhou Enlai set up the lofty ideal of "studying for the rise of China"?
We will never forget a humiliating page in China's modern history:
The failure of the Opium War, the signing of the Xin Chou Treaty, the occupation of Shandong Peninsula, the fall of the three northeastern provinces, the humiliation of "the sick man of East Asia" and the sign "China people and dogs are not allowed to enter" are engraved in the hearts of young Zhou Enlai.
Yue Fei's "Loyalty and Righteousness Field" and Wen Tianxiang's "Who has not died since ancient times, leaving a heart to look at history" ... The deeds of patriotic heroes also deeply educated him.
Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Aspiring is not at the age of high. As a teenager, Zhou Enlai was saddened by the backwardness, beatings, aggression and abuse of his motherland, and decided to study for the rise of China.
We will never forget the vivid past when Zhou Enlai studied hard to realize his ideal:
In the library, he was absorbed and eager to try; During the journey, he raced against time and worked tirelessly;
"Sing on the great river and turn around to the east." He crossed Japan to seek the truth of saving the country and the people.
He crossed the ocean and came to work and study in France for the rise of China. ...
Reading, he is not satisfied with school, he joins the society, goes deep into the masses and learns from workers;
Studying, he is not satisfied at home. He looked around the world and joined the Paris Commune, making foreign things serve China. ...
Reading, Zhou Enlai not only mastered a wealth of knowledge, laid a solid foundation for future revolutionary work, but also helped him find the truth of saving the country and the people and strengthened his belief in * * *.
Following in the footsteps of great men and looking back, we are extremely excited. Facing the reality, we can't help feeling deeply. Now professors go to sea and students go to sea. College students go to sea, so do middle school students and primary school students. Some students quit the classroom of the ivory tower and occupied the three-foot counter with dazzling goods, just like a shrewd big boss; There are also some students who don't lose money for 60 minutes and want red envelopes for 80 minutes. They also claim to have a business mind and look at money. Compared with young Zhou Enlai, they are far from each other.
Be ambitious. With lofty ideals, there will be great spiritual motivation, and with lofty ideals, there will be lasting spiritual motivation. So, what kind of ideal should we set up?
As we all know, China is still a developing country. Compared with developed countries, there is still a certain distance between per capita income and comprehensive national strength. "Studying for the rise of China" should be our common ideal.
However, with the rise of China and the strength of the nation, ideals alone are not enough. We need technology, we need culture, and we need a large number of builders who master certain technologies. As a new generation across the century, we should study hard and strive for the real rise of China.
Students, let's follow in the footsteps of great men, study for the rise of China, and rush to 2 1 century.
Every Monday morning, we will be bathed in the sun and solemnly watch the bright five-star red flag Ran Ran rising in the loud national anthem of Ran Ran. At this time, a patriotic feeling rose in our hearts. Yes, as descendants of the Chinese people, patriotism is our sacred mission and the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation. However, as a college student in the new century, do you realize how to serve our motherland?
Throughout the 5,000-year history of China, from ancient times to the present, many scholars have written page after page of glory in order to serve the motherland.
Qu Yuan, an ancient Chu poet, dissolved his passion in Li Sao and died with hatred. Yue Fei, a patriotic star in the Song Dynasty, carried four characters on his back, "Serve the country faithfully". With how many years of military career he has gone through, "No one has died in life since ancient times, leaving his heart shining." Wen Tianxiang's Across the Ocean still shakes our patriotism. Lin Zexu, Minister of Smoking Prohibition in Qing Dynasty, left a poem for the teacher before he rushed to Guangzhou: "If the country is selfish, life and death are over, why not avoid it because of disaster?" .
Modern Mr. Lu Xun "looks on coldly with a thousand fingers and bows his head as a willing ox." There are Qiu Jin's poems, Tian Han's words and Nie Er's songs. How many revolutionary veterans have created our happiness today with their lives and youth, including Chairman Mao's oil lamp, Premier Zhou's coat and Commander-in-Chief Zhu's shoulder pole. They showed their patriotism by saving the people from the hot water.
In modern times, Lei Feng has devoted his limited life to serving the people. Comrade Ren Changxia, a good guardian of the people, enforced the law to keep the people safe.
Students, as college students in the 2 1 century and as a new force in socialist construction, what should we do? Take the world as your responsibility. Learn for the rise of China!
The duty of students is to study. We should inject a strong patriotism into our study. Knowledge is power. Without science and culture, how can we serve the country? Out of the walls of this school, we have to face the complexity of society. It is what our simple and immature thoughts must accept. Only by learning knowledge well and practicing majors well on campus can we be in an invincible position in this fierce competition. As the saying goes: Look at the changes of the world, who is in charge of ups and downs?
China, the oriental dragon has taken off, and the great task of "revitalizing China" will be undertaken by us. Students, tomorrow's sun will be held up by us, so that this immortal famous saying will no longer become an empty talk or slogan.
Learn for the rise of China!
Carve a boat for a sword:
There was a man from the State of Chu who went out on a long journey. When he crossed the river by boat, he accidentally dropped his sword into the rapids of the river. Everyone on board shouted, "The sword fell into the water!"
The Chu people immediately carved a mark on the ship's side with a knife, and then turned to everyone and said, "This is where my sword fell."
They were puzzled by the marks of the knife. Someone urged him to say, "Go into the water and find the sword!" " "
The Chu people said, "Don't worry, I have a mark."
The boat went on, and someone urged him to say, "If you don't go down to look for the sword, the boat will go further and further, so be careful not to find it back."
The Chu people still said confidently, "Don't worry, don't worry, the mark is engraved there."
It was not until the ship stopped at the shore that Chu people went into the water to find the sword along the marked place. However, how can he find it The marks carved on the ship indicate the position of Chu Jian in the river at the moment he fell into the water. The sword that falls into the river will not follow the ship, but the traces on the ship and the ship's side are constantly moving forward. When the ship reached the shore, the mark on the ship's side was far away from the position of the sword in the water. Is it stupid for this Chu man to find a sword in the above way?
He wasted a lot of time in the water under the boat on the shore, but found nothing, which attracted everyone's ridicule.
This fable tells us that looking at things that are constantly developing and changing with a static eye will inevitably make subjective idealism mistakes that are divorced from reality.
Steal the clock:
This idiom comes from Lu Chunqiu Self-knowledge written by Lv Buwei during the Warring States Period.
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Fan Jishe in the State of Jin, and a big clock hung at his door. In ancient China, chimes and chimes were both musical instruments.
One day, a man went to Fan Ji's house and saw the clock at the door, trying to take it away secretly. However, the clock is too heavy for him to move back. Finally, I came up with a way: break the clock and take it back in batches.
So he found a hammer and tried to ring the doorbell. "When-"is rung for the first time, the bell will sound long and loud; If you knock again, the clock will make the same sound. He thought, "As soon as the bell rings, people will know that I am ringing here. In this way, the clock was taken away by others and I was caught. " So he covered his ears so that the bell could no longer be heard. He thinks that since I am so close, I can't hear it, and of course no one else can hear it, so I can steal the clock safely.
In fact, he is stupid and ridiculous: although he can't hear the bell with his ears covered, other people's ears are not covered, of course he can hear the bell.
Later, people summed up this story as an idiom "stealing bells" to describe those who are self-righteous and deceive themselves. For example, "he thinks that if he changed his report card, his mother wouldn't find him failing." It's really secretive! "
Smell the chicken and dance:
Zu Ti in Jin Dynasty was an open-minded and ambitious person. But he was a naughty boy when he was a child and didn't like reading. When Wang Jianfeng stepped into youth, he painted the idiom "Smelling chickens and dancing".
A generation ago, he realized his lack of knowledge and felt that he could not serve his country without studying, so he began to study hard. He read widely and studied history carefully, from which he learned a wealth of knowledge and made great progress. He has been in and out of Luoyang, Kyoto for many times, and people who have contacted him say that Zu Ti is a talented person who can assist the emperor in governing the country. When Zu Ti was 24 years old, he was recommended to be an official, but he didn't agree. He still studies tirelessly. Later, Zu Ti and his childhood friend Liu Kunyi became the main book of Sizhou. He and Liu Kun have deep feelings. They not only share the same bed, but also share the same lofty ideal: to make contributions, revitalize the state of Jin and become a pillar of the country. Once, in the middle of the night, Zu Ti heard the cock crow in his sleep. He kicked Liu Kun awake and said to him, "Did you hear the cock crow?" Liu Kun said, "It's unlucky to hear chickens crow in the middle of the night." Zu Ti said, "I don't think so. How about we get up and practice swords when we hear chickens crow in the future? " Liu Kun readily agreed. So every day after the rooster crows, he gets up to practice his sword, and the light of the sword flies and the sound of the sword is sonorous. Spring goes to winter, cold goes to summer, and it never stops. Many things happen. After long and arduous study and training, they finally became generalists who can write good articles and lead troops to win the battle. Zu Ti was named General Zhenxi, realizing his desire to serve the country. Liu Kun, a corps commander in the north, was in charge of the military affairs of Bing, Hebei and Youzhou, and also gave full play to his literary talent and military talents.
Waiting for him:
There was a farmer in Song State. He worked in the fields every day.
One day, the farmer was working in the field when suddenly a hare ran out of the grass. The rabbit was frightened by the people it saw. It ran as fast as it could. As a result, it hit the root of a farmer's field, broke its neck and died. The farmer put down his farm work and went to pick up the dead rabbit. He is very happy for his good luck.
When he got home at night, the farmer gave the dead rabbit to his wife. The wife cooked delicious rabbit meat, and the couple had a delicious meal with laughter.
The next day, the farmer went to work in the fields as usual, but he was no longer as absorbed as before. After working for a while, he glanced at the grass and listened, hoping that another rabbit would run out and hit the stump. In this way, he worked absently all day and didn't finish hoeing the ground. He didn't see any rabbits coming out until dark, so he went home reluctantly.
On the third day, the farmer came to the field and had no intention of hoeing the ground. He put the farm tools aside and sat on the ridge next to the stump, waiting for the wild rabbits to come out. But I waited for another day in vain.
Later, the farmer stood by the stump every day, hoping to find the rabbit again, but he never got it again. But the seedlings in the farmland withered because of him. As a result, farmers became the laughing stock of the Song people.
Call a deer a horse;
Qin Ershi's prime minister, Zhao Gao, is ambitious, planning to usurp the throne all day long. However, he doesn't know how many people can be at his mercy and how many people are against him. So he thought of a way to test his prestige and find out who dared to oppose him.
One day, Zhao Gao brought a deer into the palace and said to Qin Ershi with a big smile, "Your Majesty, I will give you a good horse." Qin Ershi looked at it and thought: This is not a horse, this is obviously a deer! He smiled and said to Zhao Gao, "The Prime Minister has made a mistake. There is a deer here. How can you say it's a horse? " Zhao Gao said with a straight face: "Please see clearly, this is indeed a swift horse." Qin Ershi looked at the deer again and said incredulously, "Why does a horse have horns on its head?" Zhao Gao turned around, pointed to the ministers and said loudly, "Your Majesty can ask the ministers if you don't believe me."
Ministers were all at a loss by Zhao Gao's nonsense, and whispered privately: What is this Zhao Gao doing? It's obviously a deer or a horse! Ministers see Zhao Gao sinister smile on his face, eyes staring at Zhao Gao in turn, eyes staring at everyone in turn, suddenly understand Zhao Gao's intention.
Some timid people with a sense of justice bow their heads and dare not speak, because telling lies is sorry for their conscience, and telling the truth is afraid of being hurt by Zhao Gao in the future. Some honest people insist that it is manual rather than horse. There are also some adulterers who usually follow Zhao Gao closely and immediately support Zhao Gao's statement and say to the emperor, "This is indeed a swift horse!"
Afterwards, Zhao Gao punished those honest ministers who did not obey him by various means, and even copied them.
The story comes from Historical Records of Qin Shihuang. The idiom "referring to a deer as a horse" is a metaphor for deliberately reversing right and wrong and confusing black and white.
Ideal is the sun of life.
