A positive and patriotic 3-minute speech

Keep young while growing old is a Chinese saying for people; "Keep young while growing old" is a saying used by British and American people to express their admiration for each other. The difference is that youth is like the early spring, like the morning sun, like the sprouting of hundreds of flowers, like the new hair of a sharp knife, it is the most precious period of life. Youth is to society as fresh and lively cells are to the human body. Metabolism, the old and decayed things are always on the way to natural elimination, and the fresh and lively things are based on the position of space and the life of time. If the human body follows the way of metabolism, it will be healthy. If the body is filled with old and decayed cells, the body will die. If the society follows the way of metabolism, it will be prosperous. If the society is filled with old and decayed elements, the society will die. It is fair to say that our country's society is prosperous or about to perish. I cannot tolerate talking about it. Once those corrupt elements are allowed to be eliminated naturally, Ya does not want to talk about them with the passage of time, hoping that they will be reborn. Those who weep and make speeches are young people who hope to be fresh and lively, and have the ear to strive for self-consciousness! Who is self-conscious? Be aware of the value and responsibility of being fresh and lively, and think of yourself as something that cannot be humbled. Who is a struggler? He who exerts his intelligence and strives to exclude the old and corrupt, treating them as enemies and savage beasts, cannot be his neighbor and is not infected by their poisons. Wow! The results of the youth of our country can be described in this way! I see that young people have their age, but old people have bodies that are only fifty-fifths of them; young people have their age or body, and old people have nine-tenths of their brains and nerves. His hair is beautiful, his face is luxuriant, his waist is straight, and his diaphragm is wide. He looks like a young man; and the thoughts and embraces in his mind are all the same as the rotten and corrupt ones. At the beginning, it was not stale and lively. There were those who were assimilated by the outdated and corrupt elements. However, they were afraid of the huge power of the outdated and corrupt elements, looked back and looked around, and did not dare to openly and fiercely resist. Yes. The air that fills society is always rotten and decayed. Looking for something fresh and lively to comfort our suffocating despair will never be found. Following this phenomenon, one will surely die as a human being and as a society. In order to cure this disease, it is not possible to cure this disease. It is for one or two young people who are sensitive to self-awareness and have the courage to struggle to give full play to their inherent wisdom in the world and decide on various thoughts in the world - which ones are fresh, lively and suitable for this world. The struggle to survive, which one is old and corrupt cannot be kept in the mind, - a sharp knife cuts through iron, a sharp knife cuts through hemp, never relies on disobedient thoughts, and saves people by oneself, society will never have a peaceful day. Young man! Is there anyone who takes this responsibility for himself? If you know what is right and what is wrong, you can make a decision. I would like to state the six principles carefully and observe it with a calm mind. There are people who are free and not slaves. Each has the right to be independent. He has no right to enslave others, and he has no obligation to treat himself as a slave. The term "slave" refers to those who were weak in ancient times and lost their right to freedom due to violent seizures. Ever since the talk of equality of human rights began, the name of slave is not something that flesh and blood can tolerate. The world calls modern European history "the history of liberation" - destroying monarchy and seeking political liberation; denying religious rights and seeking religious liberation; promoting equalization of property and seeking economic liberation; the women's political suffrage movement seeking male power. Liberation too. Liberation means breaking away from the shackles of a husband's slave in order to complete one's independent and free personality. I have hands and feet, and I can make my own food and clothing; I have a tongue, and I can express my likes and dislikes; I have a mind, and I respect my beliefs; I will never allow others to overstep my bounds, nor should I master myself and enslave others; above all, I believe that I am an independent personality. Conduct, all rights, and all beliefs can only be based on one's own wisdom, and there is no need to blindly follow others. Otherwise, loyalty, filial piety, justice, and the morality of slaves (German philosopher Nietzsche) divided morality into two categories: those who are independent and brave are called Morality of Noble, and those who are humble and obedient are called Morality of Slaves. of Slave〕); light punishments and low taxes are the happiness of slaves; articles praising merits and deeds are the slaves' articles; giving titles and titles to slaves are the glory of slaves; monuments and high tombs are the souvenirs of slaves; honor and disgrace are regarded as right and wrong, and one obeys the orders of others. , if one does not take oneself as the basis, then the independent and equal personality of the individual will disappear, and all his good and evil deeds will not be able to appeal to his own will and be assessed as merit or demerit; who would say that it is inappropriate to call him a slave? To establish virtue and meritorious service, the first responsibility is Distinguish this. Progressive rather than conservative. Life is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. This is a Chinese saying.

From the fundamental teaching of the universe, everything is involved, and it is always on the path of evolution. There is no reason to maintain the status quo. Specifically, it is limited by common sense, and it is said that there are two states. This is the great contemporary French philosopher H. Bergson. )'s "L'Evolution Creatrice" is so popular throughout the world. In terms of the evolution of human affairs, a tribe that adheres to the past and remains unchanged will decline day by day; a people that strives for progress with each passing day will continue to prosper; the number of survival and death can be reversed. In our country, we are unaware of our big dreams and are stuck in our ways. Fine political and religious articles, rough cloth, water and fire are all ugly and clumsy. How can they compete with the current world? All the evil words that harm the people and harm the principles can be used as lessons. , and it cannot be said to be a false accusation. The spread of falsehoods has not started since now! The inherent ethics, laws, academics, etiquette and customs are all the legacy of the feudal system. Late, even thousands of years. Respecting the historical nature of the 24 dynasties without making any plans for improvement will drive our people away from the world of the twentieth century and keep slaves, cattle and horses in a dark ditch. How can we say this! To be conservative, I honestly don’t know what kind of institutional cultural relics can be adapted to survive in this world. I would rather endure the demise of the national quintessence of the past than the present and future nations that cannot survive in the world and are destroyed. Woohoo! The Babylonians are gone. How effective is their civilization? "If the skin is gone, how can the hair be passed on?" The world has not yet evolved. Those who cannot change and keep pace with it will see that they are not suitable for the survival of the environment, and will naturally retreat and be eliminated. How can they be conservative! Those who are enterprising rather than retiring will gain something when this evil current rushes in. 2. Self-loving people should clean themselves up and retire. Isn't it a sign of great virtue? However, if you want to transform the people into customs, please take the next step forward. The competition for survival is unavoidable. As long as there is still a breath left, there is no room for retreat and peace. It is the bounden duty of life to overcome all difficulties and move forward. Interpreting it with good intentions, retirement is the process of a master's birth; interpreting it with bad intentions, retirement is a phenomenon of weak people being unfit to compete. In European customs, fierceness and unparalleled virtue are regarded as the highest virtue, while in Asia, leisure and tranquility are regarded as the beauty. This is the reason why the Eastern and Western nations are strong and weak. This is the fundamental shortcoming of retreatism. If the customs of our country are as follows: those who seek profit and remuneration are not included in the list; the self-loving people who want to live in seclusion, eat millet and clothes, are of no use to the world. No choice. People's hearts are filthy and filthy, and this person cannot remedy them. However, the people's resistance to the past and the habit of cultivating wealth cannot be eradicated. In life, one should defeat the evil society and not be conquered by the evil society; one should transcend the evil society and join the ranks of adventurous and hard-working soldiers, and one should not escape from the evil society and think of retreating and being at ease. Woohoo! The iron cavalry of Europa has entered your house. Where will it lie high on the white clouds? I want the youth to be Kong and Mo, but not the nest and Yu; I want the youth to be Tolstoy and Dagar. R. Tagore, an Indian recluse poet), might as well have been Columbus and Ahn Jung-geun! Those who are global rather than locked-in and merge with our country exist on the earth. Most of the more than forty countries, big and small, have trade relations with me. . In addition, transportation by sea and land travels thousands of miles day and night. What was called an unparalleled country in ancient times is now regarded as if it were in a household. Any change in the economic and political status of a country will have an impact on the world, which is like a single move that affects the whole body. When a country was founded in this era, its rise and fall, its survival, and its survival depend only half on the internal affairs of the country, and only half on its influence on foreign countries. The recent events in our country prove it: Japan's rise is to promote our revolution and reform; when the war in Europe begins, Japan has demands for us. This is not obvious. A country throws itself into the world trend and respects the past. Those who are firm will quickly perish, while those who are fickle will advance by competing. Since our country opened to the sea, pessimists say that lost land has to pay for money, and the national strength has been lost; optimists say that if there had not been the gospel of Gengzi twice during the Sino-Japanese War, we would still be in the era of eight-part essays. Today, the policy of seclusion is beyond the power of the bandits alone, and it is also disadvantageous. All nations stand side by side and are closely related at every turn. No matter how prosperous and powerful the country is, it cannot ignore foreign affairs and let its own customs prevail. Although the forms of the institutional cultural relics of various countries are not necessarily the same, they do not want to drive their countries into danger. Their spirit of following the principle of unity is gradually becoming consistent, and no one can violate the trend. To insist on the theory of special historical and national conditions in order to resist this trend is to have the spirit of seclusion but no worldly knowledge. If the citizens have no knowledge of the world, how can their country survive in the world? As the saying goes: "Building a chariot behind closed doors may not be the same thing when going out." Today's chariot builders not only close their homes, but also want to "test" with "Zhou Rites" The system of "work" in Europe and the United States will have more than just inconsistencies! Since J.S. Mill (J.S. Mill) sang about "realism" in England, it was pragmatic and not just rhetorical, and Comte's "Experimental philosophy" sang about law, and the system of European society and the thoughts of people's hearts were changed.

Recently, German science has been booming, material civilization has reached its peak, and the system of people's hearts has been changed again. Wherever politics is concerned, where education is concerned, where literature and technology are fashionable, and where thousands of horses are galloping, they all converge on the path of health and welfare utilization. All empty words and fantasies that are of no use to real life should be thrown away. The great contemporary philosophers, such as R. Eucken in Germany and Bergson in France, although they do not regard the current material civilization as a good preparation, they still reveal the meaning of life (Life in English, Leben in German, and La vie in French). ) question is a matter of standing. Life is sacred, and this war is staining its bright banner with blood. Europeans are bound to wake up from their empty dreams. It is the custom of the early people of our country to take advantage of the wealth and wealth, to value practicality and to despise fiction. However, today's social system and people's thoughts come from the Zhou and Han dynasties. The Zhou rites advocated virtual literature, while the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought. Respect Confucianism and Taoism. ——What the famous religions hold dear and what people’s hearts pray for are all contrary to the reality of social life. If we do not change the course but change it, the country's power will never be restored, and society will never have peace. Offering sacrifices to the gods to save floods and droughts, and reciting the "Sutra of Filial Piety" to ward off the yellow turban, people are not stupid, they know this is wrong. Things that are not practical, even gold, jade, and jewels, are not as good as cloth, millet, and dung. If something is not conducive to personal or social reality, it is all false writing and deceiving others. Deceiving people is worthless even if it is left over by our ancestors, taught by sages, promoted by the government, and respected by society! Who is a scientist who is scientific rather than imaginative? Our concept of things is comprehensive. Objective phenomena appeal to subjective rationality and are not contradictory. What is imagination? It is one that transcends objective phenomena, abandons subjective rationality, constructs out of thin air, has assumptions but no evidence, and cannot use the existing wisdom in the world to understand its reasons and know its laws. In the ignorant world of the past, today's simple people have imagination but no science. Beautiful religious texts are all products of the imaginary era. The reason why Europe was superior to other races in modern times was due to the rise of science, not because of the theory of human rights, but because a boat and a chariot have two wheels. Nowadays, things are changing with each passing day. Regardless of the success or failure of any thing, we will not refer to scientific laws to determine its gains and losses. The effect will be that people's thoughts will be based on rationality, superstition, and ignorance. The wind of work has died down. If the Chinese people want to escape from the age of ignorance and are ashamed of being a simple people, they should urgently catch up and attach equal importance to science and human rights. Scholars do not know science, so they follow the Yin Yang family's theory of Fu Rui and the Five Elements, confuse the world and falsely accuse the people, and talk about earth energy and feng shui, begging for souls and dry bones. Farmers don't know science, so they don't have the skills to select seeds and eliminate insects. Workers do not know science, old goods are abandoned on the ground, and everything they need for fighting and making troubles is given to foreign countries one by one. Shang does not know science, so he only knows how to seek immediate benefits, and has no chance of winning in the future. Doctors do not know science, they do not understand the structure of the human body, they do not analyze the properties of medicines, and they are not aware of the infection of bacteria and viruses. They only know that the five elements are responsible for the suppression of cold, heat, yin and yang, and they follow ancient prescriptions and use medicinal baits. Their skills are almost the same as those of attacking people. The most miraculous thing in his imagination is the theory of "qi". His theory is based on the art of the powerful plume. He has tried all over the universe, but he really doesn't know what the fruit of "qi" is! Common sense thinking, unreasonable beliefs, and the desire to cure them are called science. I use science to explain the truth and seek confirmation in everything. Compared with imagining and arbitrarily doing things, my steps are sincere and slow, but every step is solid, unlike those who fantasize about making rapid progress and make no progress in the end. There are endless truths in the universe, and those who are waiting to be discovered in the realm of science are vast. Young people are reluctant! (Chen Duxiu)
