"Innocence can ward off greasy, and kindness can ward off evil" Henan University professor's graduation speech became popular on the Internet
"Whether you are an intellectual or a boss, don't obliterate the inherent goodness, don't lose the innocence hidden in your heart, because that is the gene and reason of being a person. Innocence can make you greasy, what can kindness make? Fight evil!" On the morning of June 6, Henan University held the 2021 undergraduate graduation ceremony and degree award ceremony.
The school's teacher representative Professor Cheng Minsheng's graduation message appeared frequently, and the audience continued to applaud.
The words "innocence", "kindness", "responsibility", and "laying flat" were mentioned by Cheng Minsheng one by one, and there are profound truths in "chaotic language".
Many graduates of the school said: "This is a down-to-earth and passionate graduation message, which can resonate well and encourage graduates to face the road ahead accurately."
While related topics rushed into the hot search, netizens commented: "The golden sentences are frequently spoken, the words are not rough, the professor is so cute", and Cheng Minsheng is also called "Professor Treasure" by netizens.
On the 9th, Cheng Minsheng responded to the matter in an interview with the media: "What I am talking about is just some popular vernacular, which is what a teacher should say. There is nothing special, and many of them are truths that everyone knows. "Cheng Minsheng said that after his graduation speech became popular on the Internet, he has already seen the surge of praise on the Internet or some criticisms. "Some parts of the speech are really worthy of further refinement. For the criticism of netizens, I I can accept them, and I am very grateful to them."
According to the website of Henan University, Cheng Minsheng was born in May 1956, a native of Kaifeng, Henan, and a member of the Communist Party of China.
He is currently a doctoral supervisor of the School of History and Culture of Henan University, the director of the Song Dynasty Research Institute, and the director of the Research Center of Ancient Chinese History.
Cheng Minsheng talks about the original intention of the graduation speech:
Young people need to be motivated. "Lying down" is only temporary
To "respond to changes with the unchanging, to do something and not to do something, to cope with the complexity of life with a simple mind The ability to think independently" means "to be farsighted, not to take advantage of the petty gains in front of us, and to pursue lofty goals."
"If you are tired, you can'lie down' for a while, but you can't'lie down' all the time."
Cheng Minsheng, a doctoral supervisor of Henan University and a special professor of Henan Province, went out of business because of a graduation speech.
On June 9, Cheng Minsheng talked about his original intention of publishing this graduation message in an interview with the media.
He said that when he first heard the term "lying flat youth", he felt unexpected, and then gradually understood.
He believes that all this is temporary.
Young people need to be motivated and cannot "lie down" all the time.
"Don't obliterate the inherent goodness"
On June 7, the full content of Cheng Minsheng’s speech was published on the Henan University website.
In his graduation speech, he mentioned that “whether as an intellectual or a boss, don’t obliterate the inherent kindness.” In this regard, Cheng Minsheng said that he felt that some people slowly no longer believe in life. Kindness, this is a terrible thing, so I bring it up again.
He said that he also saw netizens express different views on this, thinking that "people are good at being deceived in real life."
But he still believes that kindness can never be lost.
"Innocent and greasy." Cheng Minsheng told reporters that in the previous version of the speech, he had changed "innocent" to "sincere", but later changed it back to "innocent."
He explained that "greasy" is now used to describe the crisis of middle-aged people, and innocence corresponds to it.
Innocence refers to things that are innocent and lively in childhood, and we should not give up.
"We also have to believe in the sublime." Cheng Minsheng said. He wrote a preface to a book about Fan Zhongyan before. At the end of the preface, he wrote that Fan Zhongyan's sublime is like a mountain. Maybe we can't climb it, but at least we should look up.
In the speech, he said, "If you are tired, you can lie down for a rest, but don't you dare to lie down all the time! You can lie down on the first day of the new year, and you can lie down for less than 15 years!"
Cheng Minsheng’s graduation message also sparked heated discussions.
Recently, the term "Lying Ping" has become a hot word on the Internet, and the young people of the "Ling Ping tribe" have also received social attention. They are more willing to live a life inconsistent with the world, and even "lie down."
Cheng Minsheng said that when he first heard that young people "lay flat" and did not work, he was surprised, but he later expressed his understanding.
From his perspective, all this is temporary.
He believes that young people need to be motivated and cannot always "lie down."
"Be rooted first, and then talk about the results"
Cheng Minsheng mentioned in his speech that graduates must face society bravely and suggested simple responses.
He pointed out that simplicity is not simple, "response to all changes with the same" is simple, "doing something and not doing something" is simple, and "not forgetting the original intention" is simple.
"Out of the school gate, there are vast seas and thousands of doors waiting for you. Everything has just begun, everything is possible." Cheng Minsheng said in his speech.
He quoted the common saying "Three years of learning, the world is invincible" as an analogy for a fresh graduate.
In his opinion, the fresh graduates are in a state of invincibility in the world, full of longing for life, but do not know enough about society.
Cheng Minsheng said that the training of graduates is an inevitable process.
The big waves wash away the sand, and what is left is gold. This is the law of social development.
He hopes that graduates can adapt to society first, learn to accept difficulties, setbacks, and tempers, like sweet potato seedlings, take root and survive first, and then talk about results.
Cheng Minsheng's speech at the 2021 graduation ceremony of Henan University (excerpt)
Dear graduated young talents and hardworking teachers:
Today is a festive day, the sun is shining, and the heavens and humans feel.
Now, I want to send you to the south gate. I have a word to explain.
What is it like to see off after graduation?
It's very complicated, with mixed feelings.
Just like sending a daughter to marry, there are gratifications and reluctant affection for each of them; there are also students who are relieved to be a teacher, and there are worries for mothers who have traveled thousands of miles.
Out of the school gate, the sea and the sky are broad, and there are thousands of doors waiting for you.
Everything has just begun, everything is possible.
We must face society bravely.
It's like moving from a greenhouse to the field, wind and rain beat the sun, can't hide, no one can replace you.
Employment and entrepreneurship are a new world and very challenging.
Of course I am very tired. If you are tired, you can lie down for a while, but you dare not lie down forever!
You can lie down on the first day of the middle school, but less than fifteenth!
I believe that all students will not lie flat, the water just released from the gate is just a new wave of back waves.
It is recommended to simply respond to the society.
Simplicity is not simple, "response to all changes with the same" is simple, "doing something and not doing something" is simple, "not forgetting the original intention" is simple, and "a tendon" is simple.
"There is nothing wrong in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves." Of course, we are not mediocre people.
I like to simplify complicated things. As a result, many complicated things are really simple.
Success sometimes does not require shrewdness, but more on persistence. Prudent persistence is success.
After graduating from university and wearing a academic cap, you are a scholar and an intellectual; because you have received higher education in the ancient capital of the eight dynasties and a century-old school, you have a humanistic feeling, or you should have a humanistic feeling.
What is humanistic feelings?
Have a sense of fear, a sense of shame, a conscience, a sense of the world, the ability to bear social responsibilities and pain, and the ability to think independently.
Whether you are an intellectual or a boss, don't obliterate your innate goodness, don't lose the innocence hidden in your heart, because that is the gene and reason of being a human being.
Innocence can make greasy, what can kindness make?
Kindness can ward off evil spirits!
Last night, I dreamed of my ancestral home in Kaifeng and giving lectures in Kaifeng. I accepted Zhang Zai from Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi as a student. Unparalleled learning, peace for all generations.” I repeat it in contemporary words, that is: to explore the basic laws of nature and society, find a common road for the people to follow, inherit the fine traditional culture, and open up a permanent foundation of peace for future generations.
In a nutshell, it is the spirit of exploration, responsibility, dedication, and mission.
Is it tall?
No, this is just a scholar's duty.
As the saying goes: The master leads the door and the practice depends on the individual.
Today I want to add one sentence: Master sent out, alma mater for life!
On the way of life, my alma mater has already paid the down payment for you. In the future, the monthly payment of the mortgage will be on your own. It is necessary to work hard and make more money. It is not enough. Come back and recharge.
