The following is a lecture Record (with abridged):
I am the Suqian middle school in 1992, Liu Qiang East.It can be said that the middle school has changed the fate of countless people, I believe that the middle school for us today, I am the middle school, Everyone here is the most critical years of life, I am so.
My life a lot of the first time in my alma mater Suqian secondary school, came to Suqian middle school before we say is to Longhua, the first time to listen to Suqian, is on the physics class physics teacher speak atomic and Electronic time, said: 'an electronic wiping here, an electronic wiping there, that electronic where to go?' (Laughs)
I remember when I was on the second year, there is a weekend sitting in our old school district of Suqian middle school next to the stone on the stone reading. Suddenly the first time we saw our school students, could not help but staring at her, suddenly, School students Sister half anger half-laugh and asked: 'You see what?' At that time I scared almost jump to the crescent lake inside, and until a lot of years I met my wife, I understand, 'wow, That is the first time the feeling of love '.
It can be said that I and Suqian in the story of three days and three nights endlessly, but in a limited time I especially want to share with you friends, how to see farther, go farther.
When it comes to this topic, I have to talk to you about the whole social background of that era, and that time we can say that Suqian is very poor and I am also a family living in a very poor rural town. Only one or two times a year can eat pork. That year pork only supply and marketing cooperatives can sell, other people do not allow to sell, I remember every time with her grandmother came to the town to buy pork when the grandmother also sent meat to send two Because the fat and oil, go back and cut it into small pieces of meat and then boiled oil, into the cans inside the bottle, because of the fat, To be tied to the beam, tied to the beam is not afraid of the kitten to eat the dog, is afraid of us to eat. Occasionally particularly happy at home when the grandmother was the meat from the beam unloaded, dig a spoon on us White rice inside. At that time I was all family members inside, the first invention after eating must use boiling water and then go to the rinse bowl, so you can drink several times the soup, because the oil is poor to that look, then The countryside is wide Wide world, but I can see how far? I can only see our village house under the eaves hanging a lot of pork at that time the village villagers nothing to eat, our village head inside the pork to eat, So that time my biggest dream is to be a village head to do the village head does not want to eat their own pork, I think I can do a village when the pork can not give all the pork to the villagers, so that everyone can eat On pork.
Later on the primary school, primary school fourth grade when we come to the town for the first time to the power, in order to see the electricity, I took our class after class in the afternoon after the walk from the Changan village walk Longzhen, lying on the town government The door, look at the town government compound inside the light bulb in the light, we are discussing, hot it, can smoke it, where is the electricity? I should go and see, I should see farther.
Later on the junior high school, I save for many years, save 50 dollars, is carrying a dream, want to see farther, want to go farther .I take 50 dollars to travel, wear big pants , I have to go to see how the world? I have never been to the town of Xuzhou Xuzhou, from Xuzhou to Nanjing by train, to Nanjing is already one o'clock in the morning, I have to take a pair of slippers, wearing a pair of slippers, hands clutching 50 dollars , The first time I went to the metropolis, saw the tallest floor of the building Jinling building, 37-storey, around the building I took a lot of laps.To be honest, this time I know that the world has more than we Suqian Of the city.When I travel from Nanjing to Jiujiang, I was thinking about what Beijing, what is Shanghai, and New York, London, Tokyo is what kind of. To Suqian secondary school for three years, but also thanks to my alma mater education And training, three years later admitted to the Chinese People's University.
All the volunteer year I only reported two cities, that is, Beijing and Shanghai, I must go to China's largest city to school because I firmly believe that I can stand higher, I can see farther, I can Go to Suqian secondary school when I was carrying ten pounds of rice, a jar of beans; to the People's University school, I was with 500 dollars and 76 eggs to go to school. I have been working hard for four years, because I know that Beijing is not my end, there are farther places I can go.Therefore, I started to start, until the first time in 2000 to the United States, saw the Las Vegas, see the Los Angeles, see the New York. Some people say that Liu Qiang East you say these do, you have now traveled the world, but in fact not, I would like to tell the students, the human eye is already far Beyond what we imagined.What do we see today how far? Hubble has seen billions of light years of things, we humans have even seen the whole galaxy birth and destruction of the course of our human footprint where to go?They have walked on the moon, we humans ith a man-made aircraft has come out of the solar system.
Today, I am still trying to learn, read, in school, I still work 16 hours a day, no Saturday, Sunday. Why? Not just for the achievements of the cause, I hope that every day I can learn to let me Looks farther, my every day's effort can make me go further.
That year, I struggled in Beijing for 10 years, struggling for 20 years, only went to the world, but today our country is completely different with 30 years ago, and today our country is a first-class country, today we are here ladies You are no longer struggling for 10 years, 20 years, with other countries the children standing on the same starting line, you from the day of birth, that is, with the children around the world is almost standing on the same starting line The
In the past we spent 30 years, just catch up with others, the future we rely on to go beyond others? I firmly believe that today we are here all the students, you only have children than other countries see farther, and only The country's children go farther, can we make our country more great.
Our spirit is 'Zhicheng lofty', if we have such a thought, I believe we will not worry about that little things a few days ago I saw a junior girl because of romance, for her boyfriend jumped Suicide, it is because she only saw a boy, if she can see farther, then there are countless handsome and more talented boys behind this boy, so let's uphold us The spirit, bearing in mind our spirit, let us work together to explore the world, please everyone from time to time to lift your head to look to the distance, let us never see farther, go farther!
