Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 18 Every Inch of Land is Produced by the Blood of Youth!

"Many people don't know this."

"The Sichuan Army a hundred years ago was a mixed bag, with many people smoking opium. It was ridiculed as the worst ragtag army, but now that's a period."

"At that time, there were hundreds of warlords of all sizes in the Sichuan-Chongqing region. Every day was filled with warlord battles, with each warlord fighting the other."

"Those who join the army are either from families so poor they can't afford to eat, or they are disobedient hooligans."

"However, when I heard that the Japanese had invaded China..."

"These warlords, who were fighting amongst themselves, immediately stopped their internal strife and quickly assembled an army of over a million to support the national war of resistance against Japan."

"These young men, in the dead of winter, wearing straw sandals, traversed mountains and valleys to reach the main battlefield thousands of miles away."

"Fighting against the well-trained Japanese army with the most dilapidated equipment, a million were killed or wounded!"

"I can't help but think of an interview."

"He was an elderly Sichuan soldier, one of four brothers from his family who came out of Sichuan to fight against the Japanese."

"The division commander asked them."

"Going out now is suicide, aren't you scared?"

"They said they weren't afraid, that they wanted to protect their country!"

"His three elder brothers all died on the battlefield, their bodies never to be found, and only he survived with his body covered in wounds."

"There was also an old man who personally sent his only son to the battlefield."

"A death flag was sewn for him."

"It says so above."

"I do not wish for you to fulfill your filial duties in your lifetime, but only for you to be loyal to the nation."

"With the nation in peril and the Japanese invaders ferocious, the fate of the nation rests on the shoulders of every citizen. I wished to serve in the military, but I am too old."

"Fortunately, I have a son who volunteered. I bestow upon him a flag, to be carried at all times. To wipe away blood when wounded, to wrap his body after death. Go forth bravely, never forgetting your duty!"

"These are the young Sichuan soldiers from a hundred years ago!"

"Every inch of land is soaked in blood."

"Ten thousand youths, ten thousand soldiers!"

"What I saw was during the time of national ruin and family destruction."

"They were ordinary young people who became a Great Wall of flesh and blood!"

……

Hearing Zhou Yang's account.

In everyone's mind.

Images involuntarily appeared one after another.

A scene from a century ago: Sichuan troops leaving Sichuan to fight against the Japanese.

That day.

The land of China was shrouded in the smoke of war, and countless families were torn apart and people perished.

In the mountains thousands of miles away, there is only one pure land left.

But here.

It has gathered a million young people.

Countless parents send their children to the battlefield.

These young people, united as one, were fearless in the face of death.

One by one, amidst the gunfire, their lives faded away, leaving only their spirit to live on.

Some people are easily moved to tears.

Tears welled up in my eyes, and my face was covered in tears.

But Zhou Yang didn't listen and continued talking.

"I often wonder what drives these opium addicts and idlers to go to the battlefield to die for their compatriots thousands of miles away."

"After all, by today's standards, they are just disobedient children."

"How can a disobedient child ever amount to anything?"

"How can they then shoulder the responsibility of protecting their homeland?"

"Later I figured it out."

"Whether you are obedient or not has nothing to do with whether you are a good child."

"When the world is peaceful and prosperous, they can be naughty children or obedient children."

"Some of them will give parents a headache, while others will bring them comfort." "But when the country is in danger."

"They only have one name."

"That's the spirit of the Chinese men!"

“From the battlefields of the War of Resistance against Japan a century ago.”

"Jump into the Yellow River during a major flood!"

"Then, with their bloodied hands, they rescued survivors during the earthquake."

"They are so ordinary, yet so great!"

……

These words, falling into the ears of the crowd, were like the morning bell and evening drum, deeply moving and inspiring.

Parents and children alike are asking themselves these questions.

If it were them, what choice would they make?
at this time.

The viewers in the live stream could no longer contain their emotions and began to vent their feelings.

"I've also read about the Sichuan Army in books. Back then, every family in Sichuan and Chongqing wore white mourning clothes and white silk, and nine out of ten households had no sons. They were the pride of the nation and the backbone of the people."

"After hearing Zhou Yang's words, I realized that these heroes were just kids the same age as my children back then. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have had the courage to send my child to their death."

"Not necessarily. As Zhou Yang said, although Chinese people are usually carefree and each has their own shortcomings, everyone will stand up when the nation is in danger."

"Yes, just like the great flood in 98, my brother was one of the volunteers who went to fight the flood. At that time, my mother held onto my brother tightly and didn't want him to go."

"But my father resolutely supported my brother's decision to go. He said, 'Without a country, there is no home. When the country is in trouble, how can we stand idly by? If all the men in the country are cowardly, how can China continue?' I have always kept these words in my heart."

"So when the 08 earthquake struck, I volunteered to go to the earthquake zone and, together with the People's Liberation Army soldiers, rescued one life after another."

"Brother, I was a kid from the disaster area during the great flood. Please thank your brother for me. I was serving in the army when the earthquake struck, and maybe we even fought side by side!"

"Your words are so touching. Although we may be unreliable in general, when it comes to matters of principle, the sons and daughters of China will never back down."

"..."

Each of them, once teenagers, shared their experiences and feelings.

Viewers in the live stream began to have tears in their eyes.

Older people thought of their passionate and rebellious selves, while younger people thought of the sacrifices their parents' generation made while shouldering responsibilities.

No one should blame the other.

at the same time.

Zhou Yang's clear voice rang out again.

History has repeatedly proven this.

"As long as children are allowed to grow up freely, they will surely become useful people to their families, society, and country."

"What parents need to do is instill moral and legal principles in him and let him grow freely within those principles."

"He can be disobedient, get covered in mud, and fall down repeatedly, but he also develops the courage to face setbacks and difficulties."

"Look."

"Many students today, because they are spoiled and protected from a young age, are easily discouraged and even develop mental illnesses when they encounter difficulties and setbacks."

"so."

"Don't stifle a child's individuality."

"Let them unleash their true nature!"

"Don't train your child to be an unconditionally obedient, effortless robot!"

"This isn't for the child's good."

"This is just so you can have an easier time!"

"That's selfish!"

……

Zhou Yang's words made the faces of the parents and teachers in the audience turn slightly red.

Because Zhou Yang hit the nail on the head.

Because obedient children are indeed easier and less stressful to raise, and parents don't have to worry too much.

The same applies to teachers; obedient students are easier to manage.

Therefore, many people know from the bottom of their hearts that this is not good, but for their own ease, they just want their children and students to obey them unconditionally.

That's selfishness!
