1. Humidity of tears
On July 20th, 2008, the officers and men of a Tiger Division in jinan military area command who participated in disaster relief in Muyu Town, Qingchuan County, the hardest hit area, evacuated and returned to construction. The villagers in Muyu Town sent a tearful farewell. The air was filled with the smell of firecrackers and the humidity that moved tears. Long farewell queues crowded the roads. In just one kilometer, the evacuated officers and men held high the banner of "serving the people", expressing the soldiers' aspiration of doing everything for the people. The motorcade stopped and stopped for three hours. The villagers are unwilling to let the soldiers leave. Some of the people who bid farewell were the victims dug up by the soldiers in the ruins, and some were the wounded who were cured by the military medical team. This unit rescued the wounded, moved the masses, cleared the ruins and built simple houses in the first line of the earthquake. In the eyes of the affected people, they have become an indispensable part of this land. This is the first troop to be evacuated from the earthquake-stricken area.
The analysis of "Serving the People" once again made people burst into tears. Because it is not a slogan, but an action, a contribution, a true appearance, and a portrayal of the people's love for the people.
Application topic, pronunciation, action, attention.
2. Why is it hard to find "taking the blame and resigning"?
Recently, in the so-called "the truth comes out" of the so-called tiger photo in Shaanxi, two deputy directors of the Forestry Department and the director of an information center of the Department were dismissed; The mass incidents in Weng 'an, Guizhou Province, started with the political commissar and director of the county public security bureau, and then the county party secretary and county magistrate were dismissed one after another. Regrettably, there is no initiative, only passivity, and it is still hard to "take the blame and resign".
Zhu Julong, the deputy director who claimed that Tiger resigned on leave, did not feel guilty at all even when he was dismissed, claiming that he would continue to "live happily and enjoy it happily". Letting such an official who has no sense of shame take the blame and resign is tantamount to what Yuan Zhen said, "Let a crane fly in the deep water and buy fish with lofty branches".
The analysis shows that none of the leading cadres took the blame and resigned, that is to say, none of the leading cadres thought they were responsible for the incident or wanted to take responsibility, and no one even felt guilty about it. This should be the fundamental reason why resignation is hard to be seen. Under the social background that some people sharpen their heads and want to be officials, the provision of "taking the blame and resigning" is quite a castle in the air. When, in our country, there has been a real sense of resignation, or it can be said that our cadres really have a sense of public servants.

3. A clean beggar
In the Wenchuan earthquake, the Charity Federation is arranging to accept social donations.
Many people donated money at the scene, and a beggar stood timidly with a big red plastic bowl, which was particularly eye-catching. The beggar put some small and big change and coins in his bowl.
The beggar put the bowl in front of the staff and said carefully, "Can I donate change?" "Yes, no matter how much money, the key is a heart!" The staff perfunctory him symbolically.
"Oh, but I ... this money is dirty." The beggar glanced at the staff, picked up the bowl and left.
I saw him go to a public tap, wash the dirt off his hands and take out a handkerchief from his broken pocket. The beggar poured all the coins in the bowl on the handkerchief and wiped them repeatedly, then put all the clean coins and neatly folded banknotes into the donation box.
The scene suddenly sounded warm applause.
Analyzing poverty does not mean being short; Wealth does not mean being tall. The distinction between high and low really lies in whether there is a clean heart.
Applicable topics charity, love, new soul, poverty and nobility.
(2) Culture and education
1. Is Confucius a man, not a god?
"Confucius" became more and more lively, and finally the official came forward to hold a ceremony to worship Confucius. China Culture Newspaper published an article by Zhao Shilin on July 7th, arguing that we should respect the original Confucius. We should remember that Confucius is a great cultural person, educator and intellectual, and should not be regarded as the spiritual symbol and ideological idol of authoritarian dynasties; We should sort out, criticize and inherit the precious historical and cultural heritage of Confucianism, and should not worship Confucianism as a spiritual shackle. Therefore, we can support the establishment of Confucius Institute and Confucius Prize, but we are firmly opposed to offering sacrifices to Confucius.
In fact, Confucius, who was influential in the pre-Qin period, was not so serious. On the contrary, his old man is easy-going, natural, interesting and affectionate. The so-called "I am with you." I think if the old man catches up with "Super Girl", he might send a message to Chris Lee or something.
It goes without saying that Confucius, who is remembered, studied and respected in modern society, is no longer a Confucius imprisoned by spirit, an autocratic idol, a Confucius who kneels three times and knocks nine times, but a Confucius who can learn, think deeply and "interact" like Chris Lee. I think Confucius, as he was, was very willing to do so, instead of being carried to the altar. Confucius is a man, not a god; Confucianism is a school, not a religion; The Analects of Confucius is a document, not a Bible.
Applicable topic Cultural inheritance Blind worship (blind action) Inheriting misunderstanding of teachers' morality
2. "doorway" and "taste"
On July 14, Wen Wei Po published Yi Zhongtian's article: I was lucky enough to watch Mr. Mei Lanfang's performance and see the master's style with my own eyes. It was 1957, and Miss Mei led a delegation to perform in Wuhan, and the location was Hubei Theater of Wuchang Cavalry Training Ground. At that time, my family lived in Dadongmen. It's about one stop from Dadongmen to cavalry training ground. But the time we queued for tickets was enough to walk back and forth between the two places for more than a dozen times. Fans lined up in an orderly way, and a long snake extended from the ticket window to the approach bridge of the Yangtze River Bridge, which has not yet been opened to traffic. This is an unprecedented event.
That night, Mr. Mei played "The Drunken Lady". Dad, mom and uncle's tickets are in the front row. I bought a station ticket, didn't stand, and sat in my father's arms, so I saw it clearly. Do you understand? I don't understand, but I am fascinated and like to watch it. Mr. Mei's performance is really beautiful. I can't forget my movements and demeanor. When singing, remember the phrase "ice wheel". My love for Beijing opera is related to this experience.
Analysis, taste and interest are the best teachers. In fact, the importance of art education is not "doorway" but "taste". The key to artistic appreciation is not "understanding" but "liking". Study "doorways" and appreciate "tastes". Appreciating art means liking it. Why do you have to "understand"? Talking about "what you know" easily can only shut out many people who might have become fans, which is not conducive to the development and dissemination of art. Of course, people who do communication had better know both "doorways" and "tastes".

3. The "ugly" library
There is a central library in Birmingham, England, which is a very strange building. From a distance, it looks like an upside-down golden pagoda with unbalanced sensory proportions. It feels very abrupt. Birmingham Central Library was built at 1974. Since its birth, it has been criticized by people. Some members of Birmingham even raised it to the height of the city image and asked the government to blow it up as soon as possible.
Amid endless criticism, a letter was posted at the gate of the Central Library. The letter was quickly cleared by the library staff, but it was also copied and put online.
The letter wrote: "I am an ugly child. Never been praised by others. I work hard, but no one is sure of me. " However, who can deprive individuals of their right to exist? Although I am ugly, I have the right to live ... My name is Central Library. "
Many netizens followed this post. Some netizens broke the news that the Central Library is the largest and busiest library in Europe, receiving an average of 5,000 readers every day and borrowing 700,000 books every year. And those so-called beautiful libraries can't be compared with them. Some netizens said that the central library has excellent lighting, but the sun will not shine on the books. In addition, the library is warm in winter and cool in summer. In hot summer, there is no air conditioning, and the room temperature is still below 30 degrees Celsius. This is also an important reason why the design is "ugly". If we change the design to make it look better, it will become a hotel or a city hall, which is not suitable for a library at all.
Faced with the impressive achievements of this "ugly boy", Birmingham city officials dare not talk about it any more. Not long ago, a government official in Birmingham said that the Central Library represents an era and should be allowed to live well. The "ugly child" in the Central Library finally has the hope of living.
Analysis and understanding
The Central Library represents an era and should be allowed to live. Perhaps, this is similar to life, ugly and always painful by nature, but one day, everyone will understand and know its preciousness.
Life is precious. The appearance and quality of the network are different. The power of public opinion.
4. Two pandas
In 2002, during the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, USA, the local Bonneville Primary School invited China figure skaters to the school party, and all three top figure skaters from China were present. The get-together is held in the school auditorium. After routine speeches, performances and photos, the Cultural Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in the United States took the stage and announced that he had brought two giant panda toys.
"I only gave the panda to two classmates," said the counselor. "One gave the male student with the best academic performance, and the other gave the female student with the best academic performance!" To my surprise, after the translator translated this sentence into English, the children's faces seemed blank.
Don't children like giant pandas? The answer was announced that night. There are five children from China in bonneville Primary School. The mother of one of them called at night and said that the two pandas had a small problem for the school. "You know, American primary education does not emphasize ranking, and there is no concept of' who has the best academic performance'. Daughters only know their own scores and never know others' scores. " Mother said.
"What about the two pandas?" "The school didn't know who to give it to at first. The panda sent by the embassy has a ribbon around each neck, which says to the best boy and the best girl. The school thought of a way to add S to both boys and girls and change it to boys and girls. In this way, the school will keep these two pandas forever. "
[Analysis] The differences between Chinese and Western educational concepts have a long history. What the Cultural Counselor of the China Embassy in the United States awarded according to the best ranking really shows that our exam-oriented education has penetrated into the hearts of many people, because he is a senior official living in the United States after all, not to mention those of us who are "in Lushan Mountain". In a word, it is a blessing or a curse that the "two pandas" were finally preserved by that school!
Don't lose money
Two young mothers are sitting on a bench in the square, talking happily about their children. One said, "My baby is very smart and doesn't suffer anywhere. Once I bought snacks that he didn't like, he always took them to kindergarten, exchanged them with other children, hid them in his schoolbag, and showed them to us when he got home. "
Another said, "My baby was bullied by children in kindergarten and cried every day. But after he suffered a loss, he practiced on his father every day. Now in kindergarten, he bullies others alone. "
There is an old lady "Tao Bao" in the trash can next to them. After hearing their conversation, I interjected, "My two sons were very similar to your children when they were young." The two mothers looked abrupt, but when they heard the old lady talking about her son, they asked with interest, "How is your son now? Why do you want to make a living by picking up garbage? "
The old lady sighed. "It is because they are too smart that the younger son doesn't want to suffer, so he killed someone and went to prison. The eldest son doesn't want to suffer. He has money at home, but he doesn't give me a penny. "
The first two are the present, the cause, and the last one is the future, the result. The story seems to be coincidental, but it is so true and reasonable, because it is inevitable. "Losing is a blessing" is a bit out of place, but it is indeed a common phenomenon in society to make small profits and eat big losses. "Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you." This sentence is not out of date and even very important in today's competitive society and modern education.

6. "Teaching with players" reflects the educational dilemma in cold weather.
According to Xinmin Evening News in August 13, during the summer vacation, parents creatively invited a college student to "play" with their children in primary school or junior high school. Such new things have quietly appeared in Shencheng. Interestingly, this new family education model was not very optimistic as soon as it was listed. The receptionist of a tutor company said that such "orders" are not only relatively few at present, but also the failure rate is extremely high, and few college students can persist in doing it for a whole month. The main reason is that post-80s college students may be good at doing problems to cope with exams, but once they are asked to play decently, they should be able to play gracefully, skillfully, intelligently and even physically. Especially some "bookworms", from childhood to adolescence, along the way. Besides being good at handling textbooks and teaching AIDS, I can't play at all.
[Analysis] No one plays with children, and college students can't play, which is by no means a happy thing. Today, our society is making great strides and education is becoming more and more popular, but our survival ability and the fun of life are decreasing day by day. In fact, many times, playing is also an interesting and effective way to create discovery, acquire knowledge and learn to survive.

1. Why do talented shooters repeat the same mistakes?
Emmons, an American star who dramatically lost his gold medal at the last moment of the Athens Olympic Games, made a serious mistake again in the last shot, and once again gave his almost-won gold medal to Qiu Jian of China at the Beijing Olympic Games.
It is true that emmons, who became famous at a young age, is a rare talented shooter in men's rifle shooting today. He is only 27 years old this year and has won numerous world championships in international competitions, big and small. However, when emmons, who was full of ambition, missed the last shot at the Athens Olympic Games and gave the gold medal to Jia of China, all he showed was panic. He even personally turned on the bolt to check where the last bullet came from. ...
In a four-year cycle, when Emmons once again stood in the final of the men's 50-meter rifle three-position competition at the Beijing Olympic Games, he seemed to let us see his growth from the first shot, and Emmons once again came to the last shot with a huge lead. However, he mysteriously performed a sad scene. Although emmons didn't hit the bullet on someone else's target this time, only the score of 4.4 rings was almost equivalent to miss the target, and the gold medal he almost won was gone. Even Katerina, the first gold medal winner who sat in the stands cheering for her husband, was surprised to stare big eyes. ..
[Analysis] It seems inevitable that almost the same major mistakes will occur in the same event in two consecutive Olympic Games. It is because I want it so badly that emmons's psychology will have such a huge fluctuation. As we all know, athletes who can participate in the Olympic Games are the best in the world. Therefore, in the final, athletes have to compete for more than just skills and tactics. Psychological factors should undoubtedly be promoted to the first place. Who is more relaxed, who can reduce expectations to the lowest point, who has great hope to become the ultimate king. This is true of competitive sports, and so is life.
[Applicable theme] Psychological factors of quiz, common heart errors, accidental and inevitable expectations.
2. American media threw cold water on Phelps.
Yang Qingchuan wrote in Xinhua Daily Telegraph on August 17 that Phelps is undoubtedly a legend in the history of the Olympic Games. At this Olympic Games, this "swimming elder brother" realized his dream of eight golds. However, the American media did not overwhelmingly praise this swimming genius. In the applause, there are also some other voices that "pour cold water".
Mcclatchy Newspaper Group wrote that although Phelps won the most gold medals in Olympic history and promoted swimming to a new height, it did not mean that he became the greatest Olympic athlete in history.
The article holds that Phelps can become the "Olympic Golden King" because of some objective factors besides his own efforts. The first is the characteristics of the competition system of swimming events, which is easy to produce the "multi-gold king" track and field star Michael? Johnson once pointed out that if sprinting can also "run sideways" and "run backwards", it can also produce a "multi-gold king". Although this is a joke, it makes sense. Secondly, in modern society, the relationship between business and sports is increasingly close, which has added great impetus for athletes to win gold medals. If Olympic athletes had millions of dollars in commercial advertising contracts before them a hundred years ago, they might have done better. In addition, scientific and technological progress has greatly promoted the improvement of sports level. It doesn't seem so difficult to break the swimming world record as before.
The Chicago Tribune criticized Phelps on the other hand: on the podium of the Olympic champion, this genius never hummed along with the national anthem. Moreover, when playing the Stars and Stripes, he and teammate Rochet even joked. "Dude, don't forget that you represent America!" The newspaper pointed out sharply.
[Analysis] In the history of sports, it is not uncommon for teenagers to become famous but eventually be "killed". The "cold water" of American media is worth pondering. While fully affirming the Olympic champion, we also need this kind of goodwill reminder.
[Applicable theme] One-sided praise and criticism, positive and negative reminders.
3. Liu Zige's gains and losses
Liu Zige, a Shanghai swimmer who broke the world record in the women's 200m butterfly final of the Beijing Olympic Games, has one detail worth noting: this 19-year-old girl has no mobile phone or computer, and basically wears sportswear all year round. 19 is an era of loving beauty and pursuing fashion. But all this is so far away from Liu Zige.
In Liu Zige's mind, there is almost only one thing, and that is swimming. No matter the Shanghai Swimming Team in those days or the China Swimming Team now, Liu Zige is the hardest worker. Her daily training volume reaches about 15km, 365 days a year, almost every day. Liu Zige loves reading. She read the Tao Te Ching and had her own unique view on Laozi's "governing by doing nothing": "Governing by doing nothing is very similar to my usual attitude towards things. It should be natural that I won this gold medal today! " This is where Liu Zige is superior to countless young people of the same age.
[Analysis and understanding] Gains and losses are dialectical. But many times "you can't have your cake and eat it", which requires us to distinguish between "fish" and "bear's paw", grasp "giving up" and "getting", then aim at the goal, concentrate, persevere and pursue bravely.

It only takes one more time to stand up than to fall down.
1988, American speed skater Jenson participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time. He has the strength to win the 500-meter and 1000-meter speed skating competitions. A few days before the game, Jenson suddenly got an unfortunate news that his sister died of leukemia. He fought back his grief and took part in the 500-meter speed skating competition, but just after running together, he fell to the ground heavily and had no choice but to quit the competition. With regret, he challenged the 1000 meter speed skating champion. After two laps, he left his opponent far behind. At this time, the timer showed that he was the fastest runner among all the athletes who participated in the event. Incredibly, he fell on the court again.
Four years later, at the Winter Olympics, Jenson slipped on the field again and missed the medal.
1994, Jenson stood in the speed skating competition of the Winter Olympics for the fourth time. In the competition, Jenson is far ahead of other players, but walking on the ground also has two terrible dangers. Many viewers closed their eyes in fear, fearing that the nightmare would come to Jenson again. But he didn't slip, and finally won his first and only Olympic gold medal by breaking the world record.
[Analysis] Jenson slipped on the court four times, and such a life experience is enough to completely knock down an athlete. But Jenson didn't give in to fate. Supported by his firm belief, he stood in the Olympic Games again and again. He stood only once more than he fell, but it was this extra time that made him finally overcome his bad luck and realize his Olympic dream. Life is like a playground.
