Selected quotations from Cheng Wenshan

1. If young people are satisfied with their present jobs and the present situation, there will be no future for this school and this society, and there will be no hope for this country and this nation. When I was the principal, people who opposed me and scolded me wrote slogans on the stone of Love Night Pavilion in Yuelu Mountain. I don't know if there are any current school leaders among them, because they were my students at that time (classmates laugh). After 2 years, they have become principals, and now some young people have put forward a lot of opinions about them (work), and there are even some sayings, which are quite rich and energetic. Without this vigor, this school and this nation will have no hope! I will also foresee that in 2 years' time, when you take up any position, the young people in the future may be equally dissatisfied with you. This is progress, and this is the meaning of life.

-Excerpt from Speech at the North Campus of Hunan University in 22

2. A university should have its own corresponding cultural environment, so as to avoid spiritual poverty. Some universities are carrying out the impetuous atmosphere of humanistic quality education. I had a deep feeling when I had the opportunity to visit some schools last year. How many lectures and lectures a school has a year does not indicate what kind of height the humanistic quality education of this school has reached. The key is what students should learn from a series of activities and courses. I think some current academic reports and lectures only show the successful side of the speaker, making students feel that their success is easy, but it is easy to mislead students. If the speaker can put himself at the same level as the students, it will be close and comparable.

every year, when I welcome new students, I will go to the orientation site to have a look. Every year, I will also pay attention to observation and comparison when the graduation ceremony and the students take a group photo. I find that the students' costumes and dresses have changed to some extent, and their temperament is different. Why did this change happen? This is influenced by the school culture. Why the graduates of our school are different from the students of other colleges and universities is that the characteristics of school culture are different. The process of studying at school is also the process of cultural edification. It is hard to say which report or lecture gave him this change. As a teacher, to make the whole campus have a good cultural atmosphere, it is necessary to make painstaking efforts and use their own practical actions to guide, in order to produce this effect.

I don't reject the new new culture. I have listened to everything from Tolstoy to rascal Cai, from a night-mooring near maple bridge to The Sound of the Waves Still. Objectively speaking, some pop songs are still very nice.

(In Cheng Wenshan's vast study, students saw the classic works of famous writers such as Tolstoy and Cao Xueqin, among which there were many old original Russian versions, and even The Concise Encyclopedia of Great Britain was displayed. What makes people feel particularly surprised is that the online novel "The First Intimate Contact" actually appeared here, Cheng Wenshan replied. )
