Zeng Li glanced at the principal and found that his expression had not changed, so she felt relieved.

"The food in the cafeteria at a good university isn't too bad. The food at a third-rate school is terrible. Can you tolerate that? Life there is so hard."

"Next, I'll finish my task first and urge everyone to study hard."

Zeng Li cleared her throat like a broadcaster.

"Studying may not be your only way out, but without knowledge and culture, it will block many of your options."

"It's too difficult. I can't learn it. I'd better be serious."

Many people in the audience laughed out loud.

"Don't laugh, let's be serious."

"Give yourself a chance, sprint for a few years. Don't rush into wearing pretty dresses, and don't rush into smoking and drinking like adults. Barring any unexpected events... you'll be working for decades, and there will be plenty of opportunities. Dresses will have new styles every year, and they'll get prettier and prettier. Smoking and drinking aren't cool things, and you can only do them if you have money. But where does the money come from? Don't you have to work hard for the next few years? At least you have to earn enough money to buy cigarettes and alcohol in the future?"

"Classmates, campus life is gone forever. There is no turning back. Cherish it well."

“Even if the results of your efforts are not satisfactory, and studying doesn’t make you successful, at least you tried. You won’t blame yourself in the days to come when you have to eat steamed buns, wondering why you didn’t study hard in the first place.”

"Besides, we are still young and youthful. If we don't learn now, where will our future be?"

"I hope that everyone's path becomes wider and wider, rather than narrower and fewer choices as they grow older. If that's the case, then what's the point of wanting to grow up?"

"Okay, now let me tell you what I want to say."

"For me, the purpose of reading is to learn how to learn, to develop a learning instinct, and to relieve the pain of pondering life's unanswered questions. When I have many questions, the books I read can tell me the answers."

"We have our parents and our country behind us. No matter how bad things get, we won't starve to death. Poor academic performance isn't a big deal; bad behavior is the real problem."

"The roads need sweeping, the construction sites need people, the schools need people, the police stations need people, the offices need people, the trucks moving heavy loads need people. Every job needs people, and it's either you or him. The choice of what kind of life you want to live and what kind of job you want to do is yours."

"But remember, obey the law and be a good citizen."

Zeng Li finally gave a military salute.

There was thunderous applause from the audience; the students were really listening attentively.

The TV station didn't expect such an unexpected gain, and the newspaper kept taking pictures and recording what Zeng Li said.

There will be local headlines tomorrow.

"What Zeng Li said is very good. I personally agree with it. Now, I would like to invite Zeng Li's father to share with us how he raised Zeng Li to be such an outstanding student."

Zeng Sanhu went on stage and put away his speech.

"I should have read from the script, but my daughter's words really enlightened me."

"Everyone has their own strengths. Do what you are good at, grow up safely and healthily, go to the motherland and build it if you have the ability, and stay by your parents' side to fulfill your filial duties if you don't. You are all good children of China."

“No one says you have to be a useful person.”

"Of course, if you have the ability, talent, and work hard, the motherland needs you, the people need you, become a better version of yourself, and throw yourself into the embrace of the motherland."

Zeng Li returned to her seat. Many classmates looked at her frequently, but Zeng Li looked at the stage without changing her expression.

Just a group of kids.

Zeng Li didn’t know how handsome she was today, and it made many of her classmates change their minds.
