Age of the Mist

Chapter 416 Don't Forget Your Heart, Keep Your Mission in Mind (Two Chapters in One)

The reporters recorded Principal Liu's speech.

They may not understand Principal Liu's feelings and his impulsiveness, but this does not prevent them from feeling the risks behind this choice and the enormous pressure that comes with it.

Not to mention anything else, did the school committee of Fengming No. [-] Middle School agree with him to do this?Certainly not after thinking about it.This is equivalent to making a big gamble with the reputation of the entire No. [-] Middle School.

If Shi Tiexin eventually becomes a world-renowned great athlete, then all the unfair treatment he encounters at this time will become a legend halo shrouding him in the future.And at that time, President Liu will also be recorded in history as the hardest, straightest, and most capable of pissing people.

But what if Shi Tiexin ends up being nothing?

Now it seems that Shi Tiexin is a genius and a supernova, but who can say in the future?

Only, the Governor of Jinling, who was sitting in the most important position in the audience and was watching everything with a smile, seemed to have full confidence in Principal Liu and gave him a lot of support.

At 10:30, Principal Liu finished his speech, and things began to get down to business.

The music sounded, the applause sounded, and the cheers sounded, and Shi Tiexin was invited from the backstage to the front stage.When Shi Tiexin stood in the middle of the stage, the students all raised their arms and shouted, and the entire auditorium was filled with warm applause.These applause can send people to the clouds in an instant, making people feel in a trance.

But Shi Tiexin didn't feel complacent.

On the contrary, when he looked around, his eyes became deeper.

"Next, I invite Shi Tiexin to give a speech. Welcome!" Principal Liu solemnly handed the microphone to Shi Tiexin, as if conveying some kind of heavy faith.

Shi Tiexin took the microphone and stood proudly.

He looked at the stands on the second floor, at Fang Qingjue, Ling Xingjian, Zhou Nan, Zhou Xiong and Liu Shufeng.His eyes met with all the students he knew, the unknown, the familiar and the unfamiliar, and in the silence, everyone's cheers were silenced.

The auditorium was quiet, and everyone was waiting for Shi Tiexin to speak.

And this speech was exactly Shi Tiexin's request to Principal Liu.

He hopes to be able to give a speech at the recognition meeting.

Principal Liu agreed.

"Students." Shi Tiexin said, with a steady and powerful voice: "Today is a rare opportunity. Principal Liu just asked me to say a few words, and I also feel that I do have something I want to chat with you."

"I believe everyone is aware of the recent turmoil. The World Records Committee does not accept applications, followed by various skeptical eyes and whirlpools of public opinion. An elder enlightened me and told me not to take it to heart and let me go Keep working hard, become a great athlete, and earn respect for Donghua."

The students, the teachers, and all the reporters thought he would say thank you for this and that and then step down.But they were wrong. Shi Tiexin didn't shy away from it, and directly stated the topic, and didn't even mean to avoid sensitive topics at all.

The students straightened their backs and listened carefully.

"Here, I want to say that I really didn't take some incidents to heart."

"Doubt me, no problem, let them come and see with their own eyes and find fault. Ignore me, it doesn't matter, one day I will go in front of them, so that they have to face me squarely."

"I really didn't pay attention to these things. Because I can run so fast, if you don't agree, come and compare."

The students started to applaud loudly.

But Shi Tiexin lowered his voice with serious eyes: "However, I still want to say sorry to the elder who enlightened me, just like I will not become a sports student, I will not become a professional athlete either." .”

The audience was suddenly silent, and then a small uproar broke out.

Principal Liu in the audience was also stunned.

He thought that Shi Tiexin would say what he said to encourage the other party, so as to encourage all the students.

Unexpectedly, Shi Tiexin did not follow this routine at all.

The governor sitting next to him also snorted to show his surprise.

What's the matter, is it possible that you are going to retire now?The reporters even felt that they were about to experience a sharp turn again, and all of them stared at Shi Tiexin with full attention, preparing to record every word he said next.

Shi Tiexin was not nervous, standing on the stage and talking eloquently: "The elder said that the root cause of the turmoil this time is lack of self-confidence. But what is the reason for the lack of self-confidence? People in Donghua are getting richer and richer. Now that we can afford to eat hamburgers, drive foreign cars, and watch TV, why do people in Western countries still look down on us like that?"

"There is only one reason."

"Our Donghua country is indeed inferior to them in terms of comprehensive strength."

"We're behind them."

"Students, contempt and ignorance are just the most innocuous results."

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten."

Shi Tiexin looked around the audience, and did not use thoughts to confuse his mind.

I don't want to use it, because every word and every word comes from my heart.

However, Shi Tiexin's voice and demeanor are enough to suppress the large stage into an insignificant backing under his feet, making him look strong and majestic visually and emotionally.

Shi Tiexin opened his mouth, and the soul asked three times:
"If we were a sports powerhouse, would we be ignored and ridiculed if we achieved results? No."

"If we were a culturally powerful country, would we still care about the irresponsible hiccups of an unknown person on a foreign program? No."

"If we are a comprehensive power, do we still need a gold medal and a world record to boost morale? No."

The students were silent and listening, as if they were listening to the enlightenment of their life mentors.

Shi Tiexin raised a finger and said solemnly: "Students, this incident has only one inspiration for me: money alone cannot buy respect, in addition to being rich, you must be strong. Wealth and strength are the strongest in a country. confidence."

Principal Liu blinked, and he found that the governor beside him was nodding slightly.

Shi Tiexin swayed freely, attracting everyone's attention, making people listen, making people focus, and making people involuntarily attracted.

"How can a country become rich and strong? Can I become rich and strong by running? No."

"I'm not a professional athlete, it doesn't mean that I don't participate. Of course I will continue to contribute my strength in the sports world, and of course I will prove to the world the level of Chinese children. But my ambition is not just to become a professional athlete, I want to To do more, I want to change more."

"I hope my motherland can fundamentally become prosperous and strong."

"How can it be done?"

"Rely on me? I can't do it alone, I have to rely on you." Shi Tiexin stretched out his finger, and slid across everyone in front of him, all the stunned people, all the excited people, all the surprised people, all the excited people The person: "Only by relying on you, relying on me, and relying on the strength of all of us can truly change everything."

Students look at each other.

Boys and girls, I can't say what it feels like to appear now, but I just feel a flame ignited in my heart.

"Students, let's work hard, let's play, and dig. Fight for your own beautiful life, and at the same time lead the country to a prosperous future."

"Go and make great film and television works, so we don't have to pay homage to Hollywood."

"Let's play a powerful cadenza, so we don't have to worship Vienna."

"Go run, dance, work hard, let's show off your talents in whatever areas you have!"

"Even if you want to be a chef, you have to make the most beautiful taste on the tip of your tongue."

"Even if you go to drive an excavator, you have to dig out the widest avenue to reach the sky."

"And the most important thing is to study hard and study hard!"

"Students, you are the students of Fengming No. [-] Middle School, a prestigious university. You are the best at studying among countless high school students. The fundamental driving force for a country's prosperity is the development and progress of science and technology."

"When one day we lead the world in science and technology, our nation will naturally become confident."

Shi Tiexin was extremely sincere and earnest, and inspired all the students.

"I have a dream."

"I dream that one day, hamburgers and fish-flavored shredded pork will stand side by side, and the only criterion for people to judge them is whether the taste suits their own taste, instead of relying on Western food to show off. Do you think?"

The students chirped in response, and Zhou Nan quickly urged everyone to join him: "Think!"

"I dream that one day, domestic auto brands will go global and be praised for their excellent quality and superb technology. And those so-called luxury cars will no longer be able to raise their premiums or increase their prices just by relying on a car logo. We take wronged money in our pockets. Do you think so?"

More students unified the rhythm and shouted together: "Think!"

"I dream that one day, people from all corners of the country can gather on the land of China. No one will be able to look down on us with arrogant eyes anymore. People will gather in our beautiful and rich country to share the prosperity and prosperity. Do you think? "

Fang Qingjue looked at the man on the stage with bright eyes, nodded seriously, and answered loudly with all the students solemnly: "I want to!"

"I dream that one day, the chariots of the motherland can gallop on the earth, the fleet of the motherland can sail freely in the blue ocean, the planes of the motherland can fly in the sky, and the spaceflight of the motherland can look to the universe. I hope that all the sons and daughters of China can travel around the world and travel freely around the world , due to the passport, even if it is far away, it will be safe."

"You guys, do you want to?"

"Thought————————————!" The entire auditorium of more than 4000 people roared in unison, almost topple the roof and bombard the sky.

"Woo—" Among the crowd, Ling Xingjian suddenly covered his mouth, tears streaming down his face.

"Hey, are you okay?" Her roommate hurriedly helped her up: "Why are you crying so well, I haven't seen you so sentimental before?"

"I, I don't know, I, I just can't stand this, this kind of country, nation, unity, sacrifice..." Ling Xing saw that he kept waving his hands, crying pear blossoms with rain, and couldn't stop : "In short, I just can't stand this kind of atmosphere where everyone shouts together!"

The roommate had question marks in her head, but she also felt that driven by the man on stage, everyone was really overwhelmed.

Even the governor in the front row applauded lightly.

Shi Tiexin clenched the microphone, grinned brightly and said, "If you want to, then make a bet with me!"

"Bet?" This turn of events surprised everyone.

"Yes, make a bet. Don't bet on anything else, just bet that in our next final exam, I will definitely pass back to the elite class." Shi Tiexin paused, and then said: "This is too simple, boring, Then add another condition - I will definitely enter the top ten in the grade! From the ordinary class, I will go back to the exam!"

Clap, clap, Lao Jia applauded with his face flushed, and applauded loudly.Zheng Kaiming next to him was also full of smiles, feeling that this kid really had ambition.

"As for the bet, we might as well bet a big one."

"If I lose, I will take all the income from the game from now to the future for an unlimited time-note that this includes bonuses and possible commercial endorsements. I will use all the income from my status and fame to set up a student foundation to help Donghua students study!"

"All teachers and commanders learn from each other, what Shi Mou said is hard to follow!"

Wow, the students were in an uproar.Some of them didn't know how much money it was, but it didn't stop them from marveling at Shi Tiexin's determination.And those who had a little idea about this money were even more shocked to the point of being incomprehensible. They didn't understand why Shi Tiexin would spend such a large amount of capital to gamble.

After all, the top ten in the grade not only depends on strength, but also luck in many cases.As long as it's not too crushing, it's possible to go back and forth a few times around the top ten circles if there's a slight difference.

"And if you lose the bet, students, the price is not small." Shi Tiexin looked at the teachers and leaders sitting in the front row: "Teachers, if I win, the students dare to ask all the teachers to double their homework." , Double the test, double the difficulty, and there will be a big unified exam every month."

There was a burst of laughter from the teacher's seat, and they all nodded their heads thinking that the bet could be played, while the students started chattering, none of them in good shape.

Shi Tiexin smiled, and then restrained his smile.

"Students, I am not a person who likes to gamble. I made a bet today as a joke, and it is not a joke. I really feel it."

"I made this bet today just to let everyone know that I, Shi, am not talking empty words, or just pretending to be empty."

"I made this bet today because I want to inspire everyone to learn from others."

"At the same time, I made this bet today because of the Olympic opening ceremony I saw."

Opening ceremony?What does this have to do with the opening ceremony?
"At the opening ceremony, I saw the surrounding, so-called 'country' teams. I saw that they had the same blood as us and spoke the same words, but they could only look at each other from a distance and could not be united."

"At this time, I have a new feeling for a poem that I have learned a long time ago."

Shi Tiexin looked at the crowd and chanted slowly.

"Dead Yuan Zhi, everything is empty."

"But sad to see, Kyushu is the same."

All the students and all the teachers chanted together:

"Wang Shi Beiding, Central Plains Day."

"Family sacrifices are never forgotten, tell Nai Weng."

Shi Tiexin looked around the audience with a deep and powerful voice: "Students, we are a generation that shoulders the burden of history. I don't know where my biological parents are, but I know that I am the descendant of Yanhuang. Great news from the grandparents.”

"so."

"Don't forget this heart, keep in mind the mission, and study for the rise of Donghua."

"so."

"—Come to gamble?"

Principal Liu was so excited that he couldn't help himself, he stood up abruptly, and shouted loudly in the silence: "I declare that the bet is established!"

Hush, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, no matter the teachers, students, no matter the reporters, the leaders, everyone burst into earth-shattering applause.This applause was far warmer and more lasting than the applause that a commendation conference should have.This applause is no longer derived from the pursuit of an individual, but from a more vast history and a more staring soul.
