In the 1990s, the "Four Big Debators at Fudan" won the championship in the Lion City and brought glory to the country. What's going on now?

"Reading for the rise of China", this is what the Prime Minister proposed in class when he was 14 years old. What is the purpose of reading? In order to gain knowledge, to improve oneself, and to save the country in turbulent times.

Now, the country is stable and harmonious, and the "battlefields" for young people are more diverse, and international competitions are one of them.

In the early 1990s, four debating representatives from Fudan University talked eloquently in the first international college debate competition, and finally won the first place and brought glory to the country. Nearly 30 years have passed. How are they doing now?

Sudden notification

In 1993, Fudan University received a call from the State Education Commission, requesting Fudan to represent China in the first International College Debate Competition in Singapore.

After receiving the notice, the students seemed to explode. This is something that brings glory to the country, and everyone wants to do their part.

Everyone began to prepare actively, and some students who were not usually keen on activities began to practice. There were posters and slogans on banners in the school, and the students felt excited.

A lot of people signed up to participate in the event. After a rough selection, 108 people participated. These people can be said to be the best among Fudan students, but there are not so many people to participate in the competition.

So the school decided to hold an in-school debate first, and then select students from the winning group to represent the country.

Preparing intensely

The school knockout competition is also a competition between experts, but the eliminated students are not depressed, because the ones who remain on the stage are better. The better they are, the better China’s chance of winning. The bigger.

After three rounds of elimination, the 108 students became 16. These people are the best among the best, but there are still many people, so the fourth round of duel is required.

They went to the classroom where President Reagan gave a speech at Fudan University. The weather was hot, but everyone did not slack off. There were also many students watching, and the classroom was packed.

After the fourth round, it immediately entered the fifth round, and the last six players won. They are Jiang Feng, Yan Jia, Ji Xiang, Jiang Changjian, He Xiaolan, and Zhang Qian.

Next, these six students will undergo more than 80 days of closed training.

During closed training, they often competed 1 on 5, and various tricky problems would arise. Sometimes they were too excited and even suffered from brain hypoxia.

A tense duel

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the official competition. The Fudan team’s opponent in the first round was the Cambridge University team. The debate topic was whether food and clothing is necessary to discuss morality. condition.

The complex debate questions did not stump the Fudan team. They caught the loopholes of Cambridge University and pointed out the common sense mistakes of the other party, and finally won.

Fudan University’s opponent in the second round was the University of Sydney. The debate topic was “Is AIDS a medical problem or a social problem?” Both sides of the debate were very anxious, but Fudan University came up with a very innovative angle. In the end narrowly defeated the University of Sydney team.

The final victory

Fudan University advanced all the way to the finals. Their final opponent was National Taiwan University. National Taiwan University has always been excellent in debate and is a strong opponent.

The final debate topic was "Human Nature is Good", and the opponent's performance was stable. At this time, there were only four debaters left on our side, but they cooperated tacitly, made witty remarks, and even quoted characters from Mr. Jin Yong's works.

After repeated arguments, we defeated National Taiwan University in one fell swoop and won first place in this competition, bringing glory to our country.

Many people paid attention to this debate, and the four members who participated in the finals became the idols of young people at that time. Everyone wanted to be like them and scold Fang Qiu on the debate stage.

Them later

At that time, books on speech and eloquence became best-sellers because of their victory, and CCTV also played the final video on a loop.

But later they still lived a normal life. Jiang Feng, one of the four, became a CCTV host after graduating from graduate school, and later went into business;

Jiang Changjian entered the television industry, and later Hosted the well-known "The Strongest Brain";

Yan Jia and Ji Xiang entered a well-known law firm and became partners.

Although the former four-person group no longer cooperates and has now entered different fields, we always remember their past glory.
