Wake up（233）

Han Erniang received two guests at home, one was Wang Ji, her retired colleague who worked in the university library, and the other was Wang Ji's daughter, Chen Xiaoyan, who was a Chinese teacher in a middle school when she was young. Veteran Chinese doctor Chai Jianhua became an observer. Because the three women are talking about the subject of university and education.

Chen Xiaoyan sighed and said that the most difficult thing I teach students now is how to educate Hong Kong students to establish patriotism. In Hong Kong, thematic education such as patriotism and national defense has gradually been put on the agenda by the government and put into practice. Some students asked me, if the Chinese did not resist when Japan invaded China and accepted Japanese rule, would China in the 21st century be able to become a developed country like Japan? If Hong Kong had not been a British colony, would Hong Kong have become the Pearl of the Orient? Qin State destroyed the six countries, are the people of the six countries subjugated slaves? In the five thousand years of China, countless regimes have perished and dynasties have changed. However, the people are still there, and the culture, traditions, and customs are still there. Unless the Mayan civilization is bombed by an atomic bomb, how can a country perish so easily? A dead one None left? This so-called "subjugation" is just a change of the name of the country and a change of regime. Isn't China still the land of China with a long history?

Chen Xiaoyan said that I cannot answer the questions of Hong Kong students directly. Love, in my opinion, strictly speaking, is a very noble and great vocabulary, which requires a very high selfless spirit to dedicate to it. However, the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese is higher than anyone else. Almost no one dares to say that they are not patriotic, as if not loving it is a very immoral thing, but the "love" they say always makes me feel cheap, and My understanding of "love" is not the same.

If the object of my love is the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization, she can also arouse my desire to love her. After all, her long history and culture, customs, fine traditions, and various delicacies are quite good. However, asking me to love those systems I don't like, those eulogizing political education, dedicating everything to that party, and subordinating personal interests to national interests, all of these make me feel disgusted, who advocate freedom and truth.

I once asked students a question, and there was only one correct answer, that is, do you agree with patriotic education in the interior? Then you need to find examples from the article. During the evening self-study, I found a student, and I asked him why he didn't find examples from the article to prove his point of view? The student said to me: How can I find examples?

The student asked me: Teacher, let me use an analogy. If a couple likes to abuse their child and make him do rough work from an early age, and he doesn’t have enough food and clothing, then why do you ask this child to be a child because the couple is his parents? love them? The other child was adopted from an orphanage by a well-meaning couple, but the couple treated this child as their own, provided him with good living conditions and education, and cultivated him into a talent. Then this child loves this child. Does it make sense for couples who are not their biological parents? After the return of Hong Kong, are Hong Kong people happy? Patriotism seems to be a very basic moral requirement, everyone should love the motherland. Does it mean that if you were born in China, you should love China, if you were born in America, you should love America, if you were born in Iraq, you should love Iraq, and if you were born in African countries, you should love African countries?

A classmate interjected: Some people like spicy food, while others like light food. As for the country, if it suits your wishes, you can love it if you like it, and don’t love it if you don’t. You were born in the United States, but you hate the unavoidable racial discrimination in an immigrant country. If you want to stay away from the security threats brought by a country that can legally own guns, and want to spend the rest of your life in peace, you can choose to go to Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong. This is all OK.

Another classmate interjected: But many Chinese don’t think so. They think that if you use foreign brands, go abroad, and immigrate, you are not patriotic, and you are worshiping foreigners. You have abandoned the motherland that raised you and went for money. Radicals think you are a traitor running dog, helping the enemy country and contributing shells to invade China. What's even more disgusting is that there is a group of people who regard verbal patriotism as glory, and the word "love" is extremely cheap to say from their mouths. They look down on people who are not patriotic. But in my opinion, it's like looking down on people who don't like durian, people who don't add sugar to their coffee, or people who like cats but not dogs. In China, there is a group of patriotic thieves, who want to label everything as national boundaries. Their logic is: domestic things must be supported, and foreign things must be resisted. In severe cases, hostility may arise because of the nationality of others, such as the Japanese. Because of this group of patriotic thieves, any actions they don't like will be criticized by them.

Chen Xiaoyan said that among the Chinese young people of my generation, there are a group of strange creatures with the scientific name "pink". Because people in the free world often see them as logically strange, or naive and unique, we can also be kind to them. People call it "Little Pink". Why did China produce such a batch of strange creatures? Alas, in fact, they are also victims of indoctrination under the system. They just want to maintain what they think is the "national dignity". . What the mainland pursues is foolish education, brainwashing education to consolidate its glorious image, so as to prevent more people from having their own thoughts and judgments and seeing their own face clearly. This kind of foolish education can run through people's whole life from childhood to adulthood. Instead of exercising the people's ability to think independently, they want to use themselves as an absolutely correct authority to gradually lose this ability, and train the people to become puppets who have no ideas of their own and are easily incited. In this way, they can obediently "resolutely obey the leadership." Any information, after being cooked in the CCP’s kitchen, will become a report on the news network. Articles of party media such as the People’s Daily will become “news” on the red media, slogans on the wall, and a sentence in political books. ...In short, it is the dishes processed by the CCP and delivered to the mouths of the people. Most people will not object to eating it, because these dishes are added with additives that ordinary people love to see, such as "praise for China", "a bright future", "praise the country and derogate foreign countries", which fully captures the weakness of human sensibility. They love to hear these words. So regardless of whether it is right or wrong, these dishes are healthy or not, as long as they are delicious.

Chen Xiaoyan suddenly turned around and said to Chai Jianhua: "Old Chai, those little pinks of mine will be the last generation in the mainland. Young people who have insights and think independently like me will be the latest generation to change China, at least the new generation of Chinese people It has been shouted loudly in Hong Kong. The voice of Hong Kong's new generation has been heard all over the world."

Han Erniang smiled at Chai Jianhua and said: "A country is composed of a country and a family. Now the rulers of the country advocate the rule of law, obviously forgetting the tradition of rule of virtue emphasized by the ancestors, so they can punish the people with the law at will. The rulers of the family cannot Domestic violence can only be ruled by virtue, peace is the most important thing, and the people will be safe."

Chai Jianhua glanced at Han Erniang, and he, the original bystander, finally said a word: "Chinese people have an old saying, 'Look at the food and eat'. I like the dishes in Hong Kong. The dishes here are the same as the character, a fusion of East and West. taste, not the taste of political indoctrination in the Mainland."

Han Erniang, Wang Ji and Chen Xiaoyan laughed out loud.
