question of heaven

Chapter 5 Turning Cocoon into Butterfly

No exaggeration, you must take it seriously. "

Hearing what the teacher said, a somewhat tragic emotion came to Wu Xiufeng's heart: "Teacher, I will follow your arrangement. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, I will not back down."

Teacher Chu said with a smile: "It's not so exaggerated. This is a big event, and it will take a long time, or even a lifetime, to complete it. Since I have chosen you, you should have confidence."

At almost six o'clock, Chu Xiuxiu and the others arrived.Teacher Chu said: "About participating in the "Cangshan Summit", what do you think, please tell me."

Chu Xiuxiu spoke first, "Xiao Yang, what do you think?"

Wu Xiufeng said: "I have never participated in such a summit, and I don't know many things. I will follow your arrangements."

Cheng Huang said: "Since we have selected Xiao Yang as our representative, let him represent us. No matter what the result is, it is at least a rare opportunity to exercise. Just like the teacher said, don't compete with others for a moment, There are still many opportunities in the future, and there is no need to care whether the performance this time is good or not."

"I think it's better to be on the safe side." Chu Xiuxiu said, "Xiao Yang, don't do anything yet, just simply participate and have a personal feeling, and you will be more sure when the next time comes."

Cheng Huang said: "I still think that this time people need to let people know that there is such a person as Xiao Yang, and they don't need to care about the result."

Teacher Chu said: "Girl Yan, what do you think?" Pu Yan shook her head and said in sign language: "Brother Chu is right." Wu Xiufeng translated her meaning.

Teacher Chu said again: "Xiao Yang, what do you think?"

Wu Xiufeng said: "I still say the same thing, I will do what the teacher tells me to do, and I will follow the teacher's arrangement."

Teacher Chu said: "I mean showing weakness as a whole and making breakthroughs locally. We should not intensify Cao Lizhi's hostility, and let the participants know that there is such a person as Xiao Yang. At this summit, we will not publish I gave a speech; in addition, Xiao Yang prepared a very sharp cultural commentary article before the summit and published it on the Internet. There is no need to do anything else. It can be regarded as a preview of the next summit. Other related matters are subject to revision. Do it on our behalf. Don’t seek any results at this summit, and focus on the next one. Big deal, we will spend another ten years and we will surely realize our wish.”

Cheng Huang asked suspiciously: "Is there any special meaning in writing an article?"

Teacher Chu said: "This cultural review article is another way for Xiao Yang to appear. This way will not be constrained by Cao Lizhi and others, and the influence is endless, and it will definitely exceed their expectations. .”

Cheng Huang said: "The teacher is right. This article must be very sharp, so that it can touch people's hearts and have a deep memory."

"That's the reason." Chu Xiuxiu said, "But in this way, will the people who opposed us in the first place become even more opposed to us?"

Cheng Huang said: "No matter what we do, they will be hostile to us. In this case, it is better to show our true colors quickly, so that they will have nothing to do."

Listening to their argument, Wu Xiufeng once again admired from the bottom of his heart, and gradually understood the rumors that those who can be teachers and students will definitely accomplish a lot.Although Brother Chu and Sister Cheng failed to become the teacher's ideal disciples due to various reasons, after years of baptism, they still showed a very good momentum.

Everyone focused their attention on the teacher. Teacher Chu said: "The steel ball is very heavy, but it cannot pierce the sack; the awl is very light, but it can easily pierce the sack. Xiao Yang posted it on the Internet this time. Articles, first, must be cultural. Second, they must be sharp and upright. Third, the article should not be too long or too short, about [-] words. In addition, it must be published before the summit. Wait for Xiao Yang to write After it is finished, we will discuss revisions and finalize the draft together, wait for a suitable time, and publish it on the Internet.”

The next day, Wu Xiufeng came to Teacher Chu's home: "Teacher, I feel that you have a lot to say in the review article you mentioned yesterday, but I can't write it down. I don't know what to do?"

"I've already thought about it for you." Teacher Chu said: "All kinds of cultural phenomena in society are full of ugly things. Many people who claim to be professors and scholars use the guise of 'family talk' to talk nonsense, nothing more than to gain profits. This kind of Behaviors will lead people, especially young people, into a social atmosphere dominated by 'utilitarianism'. China's traditional culture of thousands of years is generally very good, but there are some marginal cultures, which are like attached to people. Parasites suck the blood of hundreds of millions of Chinese people but are shameless; therefore, this review article of yours is to intervene from this angle, violently spraying all kinds of cultural ugliness in the current society, and to appear upright and awe-inspiring."

Wu Xiufeng immediately had a clear outline, and he said with joy, "Teacher, I know what to do. I will write it up as soon as possible and bring it to you for review."

When he got home, he turned on his computer and searched the Internet for articles and comments on culture.I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I found out that there are so many articles and comments on this topic, and the articles of various lengths and themes are dazzling. Some are very valuable and unique, and some are contradictory and irrelevant.An article caught his eye, titled: The 2012th Cangshan Cultural Summit is about to be held.Wu Xiufeng clicked in and saw a lot of pictures on it, but very little text content. It just briefly explained that on August 8, 12, the sixth cultural summit was held in Cangshan, Dali, Yunnan. The people in the photos were full of joyful smiles. .

After dinner in the evening, Wu Xiufeng sat with his parents and chatted while watching TV. He said: "On August 8, the sixth cultural summit was held in Cangshan, Dali. The teacher asked me to participate and asked me to write a review article. I Busy getting ready."

His parents were very happy for him, especially when Wu Qinghua heard that the legendary and famous teacher Chu was going to take his son to participate in the most influential cultural event in China, he was more happy than anyone else.Said: "Xiao Yang, although we are not rich, your mother and I both have stable jobs. Don't be too busy thinking about making money, just study hard from Teacher Chu and be a promising person in the future. You Let us know if you need money.”

At this moment, an advertisement was suddenly inserted on the TV. A descendant of a celebrity named Hou XX, together with several people, introduced with certainty how good a product was.Wu Xiufeng took a closer look, and found that it was a shopping ad for fooling people.

Wu Qinghua said: "The current advertisements are really messy. As long as there is a little bit of fame, they talk nonsense for the benefit and have no shame; what they should do is not serious."

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Wu Xiufeng's mind. He stood up quickly, ran back to the room in a hurry, and wrote four words in his notebook: Take your place. criticism.

Seeing his strange behavior, his parents came in and said, "What happened?"

Wu Xiufeng said: "I was so annoyed just now that I knew what the title of the article the teacher asked me to write should be called."

Wu Qinghua smiled and went back to the living room to continue watching TV.Wu's mother said: "Writing articles is a good thing, but don't be so intimidating."

Wu Xiufeng wanted to defend himself, but after thinking about it, what would others think of his actions?For many years, I just acted according to my own mind, but others may not understand.He suddenly understood that some people said that he looked very strange, maverick, and sometimes looked very weird.

It was very late at night, and Wu Xiufeng was still writing the commentary that Teacher Chu gave him.After he finished writing in one breath, he saw that he had reached more than 4000 words, which was too much more than the teacher said.He understood what the teacher meant. If it was too short, the question would not be clear and persuasive would be greatly reduced; It is long.

As soon as he woke up the next day, he was in a hurry to revise it. After finishing it, it was still a bit long, the effect was not ideal, and he didn't have that deafening power; however, he didn't know where else to revise?In the end, he decided to go outside to change his mood and talk about it when he came back at night.When I came to the Tianfeng company of Cheng Huang, the second senior sister, the staff said that Cheng Huang hadn't arrived yet, and he might have something to do outside.

He got through the phone, and Cheng Huang said, "You drink tea first, and I'll be back in a while."

He asked the staff again: "Is Xue Rong here?"

Only a few minutes later, I saw Xue Rong running down from the second floor, very happy to see Wu Xiufeng, and they went to the tea room on the second floor together.She said: "You don't count what you say. You haven't come to our company for so long, and you haven't called me."

Wu Xiufeng was about to explain a few words, that Yang Liqin also came to drink tea, and there were a man and a woman who had never met before, Xue Rong seemed like a big sister.Wu Xiufeng could feel that everyone was following her, which seemed to be flattering.

Wu Xiufeng smiled and said to Xue Rong: "Your company is full of handsome men and beautiful women. Do you want me to work in your company?" As soon as he said this, the whole room was filled with cheerful laughter. One of the boys said: "Although I am very confident, But compared to you, I don't feel handsome."

Xue Rong smiled and said, "He's not handsome, he should be attractive. He's a very special person. He's my boyfriend. How about it?" facial expressions, and some even said: "What is a man and a woman's appearance, this is it."

Wu Xiufeng wanted to defend, Xue Rong immediately said: "I know what you want to say, pause, if you have something to whisper, you will talk to me alone." Wu Xiufeng admired her resilience very much, and felt that she was really not easy.

Cheng Huang came back, just took a sip of tea, and said: "Xiao Yang, how is the article that the teacher asked you to write?"

Wu Xiufeng said: "The first draft has been completed, and now it needs to be revised. I want to chat with you, and I will continue when I go back tonight."

Cheng Huang said: "You must be fine, Sister Cheng believes in you."

Yang Liqin said: "Mr. Cheng, your junior brother is here to play at the company today, do you want to treat someone to dinner?"

Cheng Huang said: "Of course there is no problem."

Xue Rong smiled and said, "You're welcome, he's my boyfriend, I'll just invite him." At this moment, Wu Xiufeng clearly saw that Cheng Huang gave Xue Rong a meaningful look, as if he had done something As if making a decision, he said, "It doesn't matter whoever invites you, it's all about eating anyway."

When we came to the restaurant, everyone else went in.Xue Rong said: "Go in later, I have something to tell you." Wu Xiufeng looked at her.Xue Rong continued: "Don't you know that I like you? From today onwards, we are boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Wu Xiufeng said with a smile: "Don't be kidding, you are so beautiful, there must be a lot of people around you."

Xue Rong said disdainfully: "What are those people? It's their business that other people like me; I really like you, and I want to call you many times, but I'm afraid you will laugh at me."

Wu Xiufeng laughed and said, "I don't even know if what you're saying is true or not."

A smirk flashed in Xue Rong's eyes: "If it's true or not, just try it and you'll know."

Wu Xiufeng thought it was fun: "How to try?"

Xue Rong said: "That's not easy. Later at the dinner table, you can give me a big hug in front of everyone, or we can go at night------." Seeing Wu Xiufeng getting shy, she moved With a smile, the two walked into the restaurant together.

After eating, Wu Xiufeng went home directly and sat at the desk to revise the review article.This time there has been a big change, the style of writing has more character and sharpness.

Early the next morning, Wu Xiufeng came to the teacher's house with the revised article.Teacher Chu read it twice carefully and said: "What does the title feel like? It might be better to add a word 'please'; in addition, remove the subtitle, which is simple and clear.

Wu Xiufeng read it twice: "Please take your place, please take your place." With a happy expression on his face, he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Teacher Chu went on to say: "There are a lot of things mentioned at the beginning. I counted, and there are as many as seven or eight. It should be enough to say two or three, but it must be representative. People who point to it should not directly say The name can be replaced by a so-and-so. In fact, everyone knows who it is talking about. Also, the sharp parts of the article must be straightforward. Hurry up, there are still 13 days left."

Wu Xiufeng went through several revisions, and it was not finalized until August 8rd.

The title and content are determined as:

"Please take your place"

"Hundred Schools Lecture Forum" is a special column with great influence, and many high-quality contents presented in it have given infinite inspiration to thousands of people; History even said: Sima Xiangru likes Zhuo Wenjun because Zhuo Wenjun's family is very rich.

Here, we have absolutely no need to argue with him whether this statement is in line with the real historical facts. Instead, we would like to ask this Mr. Wang, what is our primary duty in exploring history?Do you have to mess up people's minds in order to prove your so-called "truth"?Do you still think in a whimsical way: Because there is no such thing as a fairy, "The Match of the Immortal" and "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" are all false, and should be completely abolished from Chinese culture.

Through the reality, we can see that a scholar, who has benefited a lot because his colleagues took a little "crooked path", is unwilling to be lonely, and comforts himself by saying: "survival of the fittest"; I am proud, but I can't help being stimulated by the outside world and tend to assimilate, and I can justify: "I am also a human being------."

Every time we see these phenomena, we can't help but think of the same question: Chinese, what's wrong with you?

From a global perspective, what China can be most proud of is its culture; and a "good" culture is precisely the core of a nation and a group that can survive.The contention of a hundred schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period made brilliant and colorful flourishing of all kinds, such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism...; the prosperous Tang Dynasty governed the country well, and many capable people and strangers emerged, such as Li, Du, Bai....It can be seen from this that freedom and openness are the only way to be wonderful and powerful; but if we do not abide by the rules and only talk about personal interests, which completely violates the principles of being a "human being", then we have no face to be complacent; the country gives you If you are free, you will talk nonsense, if the people treat you preferentially, you will go beyond the rules.May I ask, is there anything more shameless in the world than this?

Why are there so few masters and superstars in China?

Is China's cultural background too shallow? ——Chinese culture is indeed extensive and profound.Looking at the world, if we don't say that Chinese culture is the number one in the world, I believe there will be no culture that dares to say that it is.Are the Chinese not smart enough? ——The wisdom of the Chinese people is only excess, never insufficient.Is it that the Chinese can't endure hardship? ——The Chinese nation is one of the few most resilient nations in the world. As long as it can meet the basic needs of survival, it will not take suffering for suffering.Are Chinese people without dreams? ——Chinese cultural thought has made Chinese people like "big" and honor...

The reason is that the profoundness of Chinese culture, while bringing splendor and charm, has also caused people to be at a loss and difficult to inherit; in the process of forced selection and inheritance, a kind of fringe thinking has been bred : Sickness and greed.It is a cultural complex of selfishness, arrogance, irresponsibility, and lack of self-knowledge.Such as: Celebrities and elders who are willing to be spokespersons regardless of product quality; Artists; experts and scholars who are known as masters in many fields; celebrities who have nothing to do but rely on their parents' fame to reap benefits ------.

As a scholar, an expert, and a guide for cultural construction and inheritance, the nature of your work determines that you must be willing to be lonely.But if you look around, various theories appear in the society one after another: I don’t understand economics at all, but when I see the economy is booming in society, I burn incense temporarily, quote chapters and quotes, and then give a speech on stage; He chooses to give lectures everywhere. As for whether he makes a fool of himself or misleads his disciples, it is not worth a penny in his heart.People ignore it and use their privileges to seek personal gain. When someone points out the mistakes, they can justify themselves: "Everyone has a different opinion" ------.Such disregard for shame and no ethics, no matter what evil consequences these actions and content will bring.You should know that you are not an ordinary person, you have a special status - scholar, expert, celebrity.Your remarks will affect many people. The ignorance and ugliness you have shown will deter international friends and make them mistakenly think that this is the Chinese culture that has lasted for thousands of years and has influenced hundreds of millions of people. People, you are the ugliest of all ugliness.

Rules, by their nature, are against human nature, but they can make people's lives better.Chinese culture is difficult to pass on because of its extensiveness and profoundness. If Huang Zi, who doesn’t speak conscience and ethics, and uses “the words of the family” to talk nonsense, wouldn’t it deviate from the theme even more.Could it be that the environmental plan for hundreds of millions of creatures of the Chinese nation to live in a harmonious society is not as bright as one of your copper coins?As a cultural worker, you enjoy the preferential treatment given to you by the state and the trust of the people. If you have to do this, what is the difference between you and the wolf who was raised by the mountain people and then ate the mountain people?

The construction and inheritance of culture is the support point of all industries, and humanistic care is inseparable. We need a harmonious society that "promotes truth, goodness and beauty, and despises ugliness and greed".

Of course, the government at the helm should unequivocally refine the main idea of ​​Chinese culture, and then spare no effort to advocate and promote it, making it the basic principle for Chinese people to improve themselves, communicate with others, and act and handle affairs.

Dear teachers and seniors, of course we do not advocate "poverty culture", but we should have the necessary energy and spirit. Please keep your part and abide by professional rules.When you want Deng Ye to give a speech for fame and fortune, when your right hand is holding a pen and preparing to write, please raise your left hand and press it on your chest and ask yourself: "Can I do this without shame?"

Society is everyone's society, and everyone has an obligation to maintain and promote "truth, goodness and beauty", and cultural workers bear the brunt of it.Please remember that thousands of children will be influenced by you and will follow you as an example, because you are a cultural worker, celebrity, teacher, expert, and scholar.China has finally regained the dignity of being a human being that has been lost for hundreds of years. It must not be reduced to another sense of "subjugation" because of this "disease and greed" ideology.For the great rejuvenation of China, and for each of us—including you and your children—to live in a harmonious and warm social environment, you should abide by the rules.Please, take your place!

Teacher Chu read it three times in a row, his joy was beyond words, and he said: "Now we can make a conclusion, this article will definitely stir up waves with one stone, and your name will be recognized by people in the cultural circles." remember."

Wu Xiufeng said happily, "When will it be published online?"

Teacher Chu said: "Don't worry now, there are still many days before the opening of the summit. We have to catch everyone by surprise and release it three days before the summit."

Wu Xiufeng asked, "Why the first three days?"

Teacher Chu said: "Only by doing extraordinary things will you have extraordinary merits. You will understand in the future. Before this, don't tell anyone except us. It feels like there is no such thing."

Listening to the teacher's words, Wu Xiufeng felt a sense of heroism spontaneously.He felt that he seemed to have great strength, and no matter how heavy the oppression was, he couldn't succumb to it. Cangshan Summit was opening his arms towards him with a smile on his face.
