How to evaluate China student Charityi Yang's speech at the graduation ceremony of the University of Maryland?

Recently, a graduation speech delivered by an international student from China in the United States became popular, but in the worst way. On May 2 1, Yang Shuping (Charityi Yang), an international student born in Kunming, Yunnan, gave a speech at the graduation ceremony of the University of Maryland in the United States, saying that the air in the United States was fresh and sweet, and what she learned in China history class meant nothing to her. She also said that she wears a mask every day when she goes out in China, and only in the United States can she feel the pleasure of breathing freely. △ Miss Yang apologizes in Weibo. Teacher Yang's speech made China students and domestic netizens angry. On the evening of May 22nd, Miss Yang changed the name of Weibo, took a string of garbled words and deleted all the previous Weibo. In response to this matter, she said, "I deeply love my motherland and hometown, and I am deeply proud of the prosperity and development of the country. I also hope to use what I have learned abroad to promote China culture and make positive contributions to the country in the future. " Domestic netizens expressed their views on this matter on Weibo. Thankfully, many China students came forward and explained to China and foreigners on youTube, Weibo and other platforms that Miss Yang's opinions were not representative. Bob, who studied at the University of Maryland as an undergraduate and now works in the financial industry in Beijing, said in an interview: "I think China people must have national pride and modesty before they can be respected by others. The problem mentioned by the girl is on the one hand, I can't deny it, but it should be said that our country is also developing in a good direction step by step. At that time, Britain was still a foggy city, and the United States also experienced the slave age. Every country and every generation has its own problems. As an international student, going abroad represents the whole of China. What we can do is to make things better with our own practical efforts, and complaining blindly will only be used as a gun by people with ulterior motives. " A strong motherland will make our overseas students respected locally, and splendid Chinese culture should also make us show confidence in communication. As Bob said, every generation in every country will have its own problems. We do not deny the objective problems, but we should not be "critics" or "bystanders"! If this is the only way, it will be difficult for our country and society to make progress. Our other international student's speech at the graduation ceremony was completely opposite to that of Teacher Yang. He is a child from the countryside. When he was a child, he had never seen a telephone, a car or running water ... What would he say when he had the opportunity to speak to thousands of young elites from all over the world and became the first China person to speak at the graduation ceremony of Harvard University? Although it has been a year since this speech, it still looks thought-provoking. The speaker is neither humble nor supercilious, and the content of his speech is profound and lofty. As Douban netizens said: Some people say that there are three kinds of international students: one is an Ivy League school, trying to be an elite and changing foreigners' views on China people; A very mediocre, but also try not to recruit blacks for their own country; The last one is to discredit one's country and belittle oneself in order to fit in. It goes without saying which one Miss Yang belongs to. If Miss Yang Can can learn anything from this storm, it is the best. Many netizens told her that this passage is a line in Beiyang Navy, which represents the ambition of China students a hundred years ago. It is worth sharing: I went to the West and knew China's plan of self-improvement, and I thought nothing else; Carrying the future of the country, with all the science of foreigners, I walked 70 thousand miles and left the motherland, and I have no regrets. The "Principal's Meeting" watched Teacher Yang's complete speech. In fact, what she said was biased or exaggerated when quoting arguments. As for whether it has risen to the level of "insulting China", people have different opinions. However, we and Miss Yang should realize that we should not just be bystanders and critics, but should become builders, just like He Jiang, who graduated from Harvard University, and just like many students who have returned from overseas to devote themselves to national construction. "Criticism" itself is not terrible! Everything is not perfect, and so is education. Everything in the world is not perfect. As long as something exists, there will be all kinds of voices, including criticism. I feel that no matter what era, contemporary things will be criticized, including education. The education in Confucius' era and Socrates' era may have been criticized at that time. Criticism is very important, of course, to express dissatisfaction with reality, to show that we want better education methods, better education methods, fairer and more advanced education models. But blind criticism is not worth accepting. Imagine an educator who criticizes in class all day, criticizes in the communication with colleagues after class, and complains to everyone that the education system is outdated, the students' level is poor, the students are difficult to manage, and it is unfair and unfair. Has the education system changed through constant complaints and criticisms? Are the students high? Are students easy to manage? Our education should not only cultivate talents who are good at finding problems, but also cultivate builders who are brave and good at solving problems. Of course, our education is constantly facing criticism from all sides. But we hope that on the road of educational development, you and I will both strive to be "builders" and find ways to break through these problems from criticism, rather than just staying at the level of "criticism". It is better to be an educator's "builder" than a "critic". You said there was something wrong with the school management system, so have you ever thought about what the problem is, have you tried to change it, or have you tried your best in your own way? You face lively children all day, not leaders. Have you applied your educational feelings to your children? You changed your attitude of complaining and criticizing, thinking about how to be a builder, your mentality changed, you found the courage to teach, and found your proper position in education, that is, to be a builder of education. In fact, you can change, you can build. As soon as the classroom door is closed, it is the world between you and your children. In the classroom, children and you can create your educational dreams. Or, when the classroom door is open, you can still practice what you think, make the classroom glow with a different style, and let the children like the classroom and like you. Have you tried these? We often think that criticism is construction, challenging the system again and again, being loyal to authority again and again, and never giving up easily. Criticism can promote the progress of culture and cause some changes. However, without rationality, criticism will turn into complaints and resentment-the resulting effect has strong negative energy and will not be constructive. This society is not short of critics, but also needs rational builders. In school, how to make your ideas really have an impact needs to bend down and do it in a down-to-earth manner. Confronting with school management culture can only make you fall into the whirlpool of mental burden, but it can't enrich your educational thought. Only by respecting reality, having dreams and shouldering responsibilities can we be comfortable in any situation. Thinking of the movie Confucius, Confucius had a profound understanding of life, but he still had to walk into the crowd and go through all the hardships. Why? The real way lies in real practice, that is, after knowing the truth, still love and still take responsibility. I think a young teacher is a rational builder if he can listen to his own heart, continue to pay attention to students' life growth and try to avoid management conflicts in reality. One day he will influence his peers and change the school culture. Being a builder is far more difficult than being a critic; However, today's education needs builders, not critics.
