The Fan Run incident has brought a controversy over values, which may be the biggest impact on Chinese people since the 21st century. Fifteen years later, Fan Run has once again attracted attention.
The original intention and resistance of Fan
Time: 2008, Place: Peking University
Looking back, as a graduate of the history department of Peking University, Fan Meizhong wrote an article called "The Moment the Mountain Shakes - A Personal Experience of the May 12 Wenchuan Earthquake", which shook the entire Internet. In the article, he expressed his attitude of only thinking about saving his daughter and ignoring others when making life and death decisions, which caused domestic resistance and abuse, and even some official accounts criticized him for being selfish and thoughtful. However, there were also people who supported him, and the principal of his school expressed understanding, believing that it was human instinct for him to run away at that time, and that he also helped afterwards, and was the last person in the school to leave.
Perseverance and swimming against the current
Time: 15 years later
Fifteen years have passed, and the world has changed. Fan Meizhong has always adhered to his values and paid for them. He could not work as a teacher in a public school, but only worked part-time and eventually opened a private school. But mainstream values remain, and so does Fan Meizhong. It's just that few people now have the courage to go against the grain in the midst of criticism.
Values and the bottom line
The bureau believes that although the resistance to Fan Meizhong is strong, he has not broken the law. He has been teaching and educating people, and his independent values are supported by some parents; Although he is not a "good teacher" in the minds of most parents, at least he has principles and bottom lines, and he is consistent with his words and deeds. Compared with some experts and professors in the current education circle, they sit squarely on stage, verbally preaching benevolence and morality, but doing hypocritical, selfish, and hypocritical performances offstage.
Companionship and acceptance
Fan's wife has said that as my husband's confidant, I have always been frank about sharing my values and judgments, but I do not force him to accept, just as he does not force me to accept. Everyone has flaws, and I never expected the other to be perfect. The world is full of complexity, contradictions and controversies. Accepting their existence, and allowing them to exist, is part of what we as humans must accept ourselves.
Run farther and leave controversy
In any case, travel light and run farther. Whether it is right or wrong, leave it to time to judge. The Fan Run incident has once again sparked people's thinking and discussion about values, and controversy remains. We set our sights on the future, leave controversies and comments, and let time witness the truth!
