Lu Xinning, deputy editor-in-chief of the People's **, was invited by Peking University to give a speech at Peking University. In this speech, she was not high-minded, but very sincere: "My only concern is that you don't believe it anymore!"I don't believe that rules can defeat unspoken rules, I don't believe that the academic scene is different from political struggle, I don't believe that academic pursuit is different from the art of scheming, and I don't believe that style is better than flattery. Perhaps you have lost your faith, because more and more people seek only status, and those who seek truth are becoming scarcer;More and more people are talking about treatment, and fewer and fewer people are discussing ideals;There are more and more big officials, but fewer and fewer masters. When you step into society, I just want to tell you to take good care of the passion and ideals that you once burned. In this age of skepticism, we still need faith. ”
To be honest, I was very touched to hear the content of her speech. It can be said that, judging from this text, Editor-in-Chief Lu has a deep insight into the problems of the current society, and also expresses a concern for the current students, the whole society, the country and the future and destiny. Despite this, many phenomena may be powerless to change by herself, but she still keeps calling on students to remember their original intentions, maintain a high degree of passion and enthusiasm, and make their own contributions to the motherland and the people. In fact, it is not only her, but also the helplessness and final dignity of every patriot who loves his motherland deeply. And you don't actually notice that when she said this, it was only 2012. In December of the same year, the state proposed that China's reform has entered a period of tackling tough problems and deep waters, and we must lose no time in deepening reforms in important areas with greater political courage and wisdom. It is necessary to adhere to the correct direction of reform and opening up, dare to gnaw hard bones, dare to wade into dangerous waters, have the courage to break through the obstacles of ideology and concepts, and also have the courage to break through the barriers of solidified interests, so as to ensure that reform does not stop and opening up does not stop.
Over the past 10 years, it can be seen that the resistance to reform has indeed been very great, and it can even be said that it is unprecedented. However, various phenomena in recent years have shown that once many things are solidified and vested interest groups are formed, it is really not easy to change. After all, they have penetrated into all walks of life in the entire society, grasped the right to speak in the relevant fields of the country, and even grasped the lifeblood of the country. Therefore, in the past 10 years, although the top management has carried out drastic reforms with great concern, we can find from the actual situation that the effect is not very obvious. Many policies are based on the perspective of being conducive to social development, economic health, and people's livelihood, but once they are implemented at the grassroots level, many things will change. Can we say that it is the above problem?Can it be said that it is a problem in the middle?Can you say that it is the following question?Neither, but at the same time. After all, once a society has developed to a certain extent, it will inevitably emerge an inherent concept that is difficult to change.
Let's take it as an example, 30 years ago, when an old man fell down on the road, there must have been many people who would help him, and there was no need to worry about touching porcelain or blackmail. But what about now?Even if they know that this will not happen, how many people can in fact, even though they are all kind people, dare to help them with confidence and boldness?I'm skeptical. On the other hand, the old farmer we mentioned earlier sold vegetables to make a living, but he was fined 100,000 yuan because the test exceeded the standard, which was unimaginable and impossible beforeIn the past, it was very rare for drivers to encounter toll booths, over-inspection stations and other departments at all levels, but now?It's almost becoming a common phenomenon. When the guy who saved people was sentenced, when the thief demanded compensation for the theft, and when the ordinary people had nowhere to defend their interests, we can only say that this society is sick, and it is very sick.
Many of us blame the state and others, but have we ever thought that these phenomena were not formed overnight, but under both internal and external pressures. It is not the responsibility of any one person, let alone one person who can change it in the short term. My articles often have some friends who comment that their attitude is very fierce, and they attribute all the problems to the state, which is also unreasonable. Let's take an example, what can you do if you are the main leader of a company that has a huge problem and is full of corruption, and the employees are very selfish and have no dedicationDo you want to dismiss all of them?Know that once this is done, the business will surely go out of business quickly without any surprises. So what to do?We can only start with the most harmful, and then slowly change the enterprise step by step, which requires a process, a step-by-step process, and this process needs time to guarantee.
As Editor-in-Chief Lu said at the beginning of this article, we need faith even though we live in this age of doubt. And this kind of belief is specific to everyone, in fact, it is to do their own things well, actively participate in some social affairs, vigorously criticize some undesirable social phenomena, and promote the reform of relevant departments;We must also highly praise some positive things to promote positive energy and convey confidence to the whole society. I don't like some radical remarks, and I don't like some haters of the Kuomintang, because they don't have the courage to face difficulties, they only know how to complain, and they only know resentment. But let's think about it the other way, if we all want to have a better tomorrow, a more harmonious society, and a more fair and just environment, is it useful to just complain and resent?It is useless and can only bring huge negative energy to this society.
When we look back, Editor-in-Chief Lu's speech was not high-minded, but unreservedly sincere. In fact, we all know that what is most touching and easy to move people's hearts is the simplest simplicity and the kindest loyalty. In psychology there is a term called: Murphy's Law. That is to say, what you think, you will see, and you will encounter. Each of us needs to re-examine the belief in our hearts, and if our hearts are sunny and yearning for beauty, we can see something more beautiful;If we complain all the time, we can only see the darkness. This is also the effect of suggestion, for example, if a person feels that the other party likes him, then any move of the other party will be considered deliberate, done for himself, in order to express something to himself.
The same is true in society, where each of us wants a perfect society, such as fairness and justice. In fact, every day, there are 99% fair and just things in society, and we don't see them, and we don't pay attention to them, and we take them for grantedBut as long as there is an unfair thing, we will one-sidedly think that 99% of everything in this society is unjust, in fact, this is the truth. For some things that go against common sense, on the one hand, we must face him squarely, and we must also reflect on why this phenomenon occurs, what is the problem, and how can it be changed?How can we create a better tomorrow. Personally, I think that's what each of us should think and do. Life in the world, several springs and autumns, no matter what the outside world is, awaken our inner strength, so that we do not lose our way in the wind and rain. May you and I find this faith in times of confusion to guide us forward.
