More than 2,400 years ago, the thought of Teacher Zeng Zicheng, a disciple of Confucius, made a request to the readers: "A scholar must not fail to carry out his perseverance, and the task is heavy and the road is long. Isn't it important to be benevolent? After death, isn't it far away? ”

More than 1,200 years ago, although Du Fu was in distress, he still sang loudly: "There are thousands of houses in Ande Guangsha, and the cold people in the world are happy!" ”

In the past few years, Mr. Qian Liqun, a professor at the Department of Chinese of Peking University, was worried about the current situation of contemporary college students.

He said that our intellectual youth are increasingly becoming "absolute, refined egoists" who "have a high IQ and knowledge", but "their own interests have gradually become the only, absolute direct driving force for their words and deeds, and doing things for others is all an investment".

Shidang regards the world as his duty

Text/Zhan Wenli South China Normal University Affiliated High School Senior High School (12) class

The spiritual connotation of "soldiers" in mainland history has been changing with the times. But in every era, the responsibility of the "scholar" who reads the world has never changed.

From Zeng Zi's in-depth interpretation of "the task is heavy and the road is long", to Du Fu's broad mind of "sheltering the world from the cold and the people are happy", to Lu Xun's firm determination to "recommend Xuanyuan with my blood", all of them have given profound inspiration to contemporary young students.

Nowadays, "scholar" has long since jumped out of the meaning of "reader" and has been given more content, and "national scholar" also refers to a meritorious person who is talented and brave.

Looking at reality requires us to have a sense of mission to take the world as our own responsibility, and to expound the calm and firm voice of young people.

Taking the world as one's own responsibility is the adherence of intellectuals of all generations to the lofty spirit of "being poor and doing good to oneself, and being able to help the world at the same time."

As early as when he was young, when Tan Si was in the magnificent Tongguan, he strengthened his ambition to get rid of the shackles and make a difference. Later, he became a young scholar, preaching the reform of the law and committing to the transformation of society, and his sense of responsibility did not waver until the last moment of his righteousness.

This spirit deserves to be perpetuated from generation to generation. Today, tens of millions of young strivers are striving to be strong in different fields, hoping to apply what they have learned and continue to defend the dignity of the "scholars" who read.

Once, Mr. Ba Jin stood under the clouds that shrouded him and wrote a book, worthy of the conscience of Chinese literature and worthy of the wind and bones of contemporary Chinese intellectuals, which made everyone stand in awe;

Today, Academician Zhong Nanshan is sticking to the cusp of the times, leading groups of young people to devote themselves to the field of life and death to declare war on the virus. It is they, with their extraordinary skills and a heart of dedication, that guard the stability of an era.

Taking the world as our own responsibility is the response of contemporary "scholars" of insight to the challenge of the times of "great changes unprecedented in a hundred years".

If you just chant and paint in your own small attic and become an "absolute, exquisite egoist", even if you have "high intelligence and knowledge", even if you have the "power to ride the clouds", you can only be ashamed of yourself in such a booming society.

The times always call for pioneers who can forge ahead in the torrent, and development always requires unshirkable efforts.

This is an era of tolerance, everyone is a glorious strivers, we can all be as brave as a warrior to run to the life we yearn for;

This is a brand-new era, the fusion of personal ideals and national dreams, is achieving more happiness, we should all be like a warrior, shoulder our own historical mission, with the new standard of "five educations at the same time" strict requirements for ourselves, in the unpredictable situation of the brave forward.

As contemporary "scholars" of insight, as long as we remember the road of coming and the heavy mission on our arms, we will have the courage to continue to move forward without distraction, and we will be able to expound the loud declaration of contemporary youth without humility, and declare to the world that we are worthy of the great responsibility of the times.

This calm and clear sound will reverberate in the past and drift into the future until the dust settles in the distance. (For more news, please pay attention to Yangcheng Pie pai.ycwb.com)

【Teacher's Comments】

Starting from the material, this article extracts the role of "soldier" as the object of discussion, expressing the feeling that "we have a sense of mission to take the world as our own responsibility, and expound the calm and firm voice of young people".

With this as the central argument, the text unfolds from the idea of "why - how to do", and ends with an advocacy and a call to encourage young people to be unswerving, and the whole article is full of spirit, reflecting the lofty attitude of contemporary youth.

The first paragraph combines the materials to sort out the connotation of "soldiers" from ancient times to the present, and the word "guoshi" is even more related to the material and reality, which naturally leads to the following discussions and arguments.

The main part focuses on the reasons why "Shidang takes the world as his own responsibility", one is the inheritance of values, the other is the call of the times, there are factors of cultural traditions, there are also grand pursuits of the achievements of the times, the integration of ancient and modern, and the exposition is powerful.

The most valuable point is that the author does not blindly discuss the inevitability of mission responsibility and altruism transcendence, but integrates personal ideals (self-interest) and national interests (benefits) speculatively, and puts forward practical suggestions that are close to reality, showing a thoughtful and rigorous quality of thinking.

As a sophomore, I can write such a deep and highly advanced composition, which deserves praise.

【Non-division comments】

The material of the essay lists the transformation of intellectuals from taking the world as their own responsibility and caring for all sentient beings to "exquisite self-interest". As a reader, I want to see not only the author's expansion of the material examples, but also an analysis of why intellectuals have such a transmutation.

This essay is precisely to give more examples, showing more "heroic models" who take the world as their own responsibility, thus requiring people to become people of insight, but they do not make their own thinking about why people have become "exquisite egoists".

Socrates said, "I am not giving knowledge, but the midwife who makes knowledge produce itself." "In addition to teaching students knowledge, education is more important to cultivate students' thinking ability. Our composition teaching, however, often stops at showing knowledge.

The material of this essay has given examples and given questions, and the rest should be how students analyze and think about the problems.
