On September 8th, Wang Xuming, former spokesperson of the Ministry of Education and president of the Language Publishing House, called for canceling English classes in primary schools, strengthening Chinese education, banning English classes for social children, liberating children and saving Chinese! This sentence shouted out the hearts of many people.
However, is the embarrassment of Chinese really caused by English or courses? On the one hand, culture itself is a dynamic development process. Just like calligraphy, from seal script to official script, to regular script and running script, it always survives and develops in change. On the other hand, Chinese language and literature are unpopular, not just the weight of the curriculum.
Poetry is bleak, records are bankrupt, and words are becoming increasingly extreme. Poetry is becoming a luxury and a joke-this is a syndrome of the rapid development of the world, not a betrayal, but a need for redemption. In the final analysis, the social value system needs to turn around in time and change the walking posture of quick success and instant benefit.
Dude's "The Last Lesson" illustrates a truth: language has not only instrumental value, but also cultural value. Chinese and foreign languages are not the relationship between fish and bear's paw. See how foreign languages "run fast" in recent years. Even if Chinese is an afterthought, it should make a difference in key links, instead of always moaning about "crisis" in some university courses. Deng Haijian
