Later, an unexpected event gave me a new understanding of this hero. It was a weekend, and I accompanied Xu Honggang to give a lecture at a local university. After the report, there were still many people who refused to leave and surrounded Xu Honggang to ask questions and ask for autographs. Suddenly someone asked loudly: Excuse me, Mr. Xu Honggang, I heard that you once read "attainments" as "purposeful" and "uneven" as "uneven" in a report. Is it true?/You don't say. Just now, the venue, which was still stirring with heroic righteousness, suddenly quieted down.
In the face of this sudden embarrassment, I was shocked at once! Blushing for Xu Honggang made him even more indignant: Who dares to say that he didn't read the wrong word? Isn't this deliberately making an ugly hero in public?
After a short silence, Xu Honggang said word for word: I was really ashamed when someone pointed this out to me. The Party and people regard Xu Honggang as a hero. I think the word "Xu Honggang" is not only my own, but a symbol bearing many hopes and wishes. I'm just an ordinary student of Nanjing Institute of Political Science, and I'm far from being a hero in people's minds!
Although his answer was frank, it left a big question mark in my heart.
I don't remember how I fell asleep in the confusion of tossing and turning that night. In the dark, I was awakened by a falling towel. When I got up, I saw that the upper berth was empty. I know that Xu Honggang usually gets up at about 5 o'clock to learn English, but it's not 4 o'clock now. I came to the office meeting room where he often worked overtime, and Xu Honggang was in it. But this time, instead of learning English, he was absorbed in meditation, rubbing his back with his right hand from time to time, and his face showed a painful expression. Seeing this, I feel unspeakable sadness in my heart. I know that things during the day are too exciting for him, so I can't sleep at night, so I'm in a hurry! I rushed in and said sadly, "Hong Gang, what are you doing?" ? Isn't it a typo? Why can't you get along with yourself! "
Xu Honggang smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry to wake you." After a pause, he became serious again: "What happened today really touched me a lot. The more I think about it, the more I can't sleep I have no reason to care about the attitude of that college student. His reproach made me see clearly the necessity of charging for military schools. I used to be a soldier. I met only a few gangsters on the bus, and I can deal with them with the courage and justice of the soldiers. As a cross-century soldier, he will face high-tech equipment in the future. If he lives up to his mission, it is not enough to be brave. Although bravery is still a hero's character, future heroes should be brave and high-quality. "
After listening to this, my heart was deeply shocked. Yes, heroes are always heroes of the times. On the journey to the new century, the name of a hero should not only be accompanied by consciousness and courage, but also be interpreted with comprehensive qualities including knowledge and ability. Only with rich knowledge and excellent comprehensive quality can heroism radiate more dazzling brilliance.
