Chapter 328 Worldly Experience
"What world have I seen? I just entered university and am busy adapting to my new life. What world have I seen? Do you think that seeing a bustling city and towering skyscrapers means you've seen the world? Or do you think that going to a Western restaurant, knowing how well-done a steak is, and pretending to sample a cup of tea means you've seen the world?"
We don't need to compare ourselves to people in big cities; there's nothing to envy. City kids have seen skyscrapers, country kids have seen starry skies, scientists know how to launch rockets, chefs know how to make dishes more delicious, farmers know how to cultivate crops for a good harvest, and the hardworking laborers on construction sites know how to build a good building. Why should we seek so-called worldly experience and think others are superior to us?
Song Mingli clapped his hands, "Sister, you're absolutely right. Mingfu, don't go and cause trouble. We'll have plenty of opportunities to broaden our horizons in the future."
"That's true. People need to have real skills before they can see the world, otherwise they'll feel ashamed of themselves. We shouldn't underestimate ourselves, nor should we overestimate others."
Besides, there's no end to the world to see; there's everything in the universe! As long as we're alive, we're learning something new every day. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so for now, just do what you need to do and don't need to go out of your way to see the world.
Besides, we country kids can tell the difference between chives and water spinach at a glance, and wheat and rice. We can catch an eel with one hand. Shouldn't city kids envy you?
"That seems to be the case. Mu Zhiyuan is very envious of me. He followed me around as soon as he arrived, asking all sorts of questions." Song Mingfu was completely convinced. Brother Nan truly lived up to his name; his reasoning was impeccable. Her ambition was to become a diplomat, and with her quick wit and decisiveness, she would definitely excel.
Song Wanxing listened from the side, feeling uneasy. He felt that his niece was pointing fingers at him! Wasn't he just longing for the outside world and only turned back after hitting a wall? He really was a bad example for the children.
Sigh, thankfully he's back now. Judging from his family's attitude, he's moved back into the main house, so they should gradually accept him, right? Song Wanxing cheered himself up in his heart. Work hard, the tuition for the three children next semester will be almost paid off.
Song Tingnan clapped his hands, perfectly resolved! He could finally travel light and prepare to embark on his future.
She had no idea that her shrewd talk would eventually transform Song Mingfu, this 'roughneck,' into a genius skilled in both literature and martial arts.
What is a university like?
Busy and vibrant, yet also full of sweet traps.
Upon entering university, the first thing they did was military training. Song Tingnan easily overpowered several troublesome classmates with an over-the-shoulder throw, while also scaring away a group of restless teenage boys and gaining a bunch of female admirers.
The exchange was simple; Song Tingnan didn't try to hide anything. Knowing a little martial arts wasn't a bad thing, and she didn't have time to dwell on things like school bullying.
After the military training, classes officially began. Song Tingnan discovered that what was more important here was the cultivation of independent thinking and self-learning abilities. No one had a fixed classroom, and no teacher was supervising the students all day long.
Eager students are busy, so you need to do your research first, plan your time well, and then carry your textbooks around the large campus to find the classrooms of professors in your major.
Song Tingnan's days are packed with activities. Although she majors in languages and wants to learn as many other languages as possible, to become a good diplomat, she needs to take relevant professional courses, such as international law, diplomatic etiquette, international relations, as well as Marxist theory, Chinese language and literature, history, philosophy, journalism and communication, and engineering, agriculture, medicine, military science, and so on. The more she learns and the more she understands, the better she can handle various emergencies and tricky questions from other countries, and the better she can safeguard the dignity of her motherland.
At university, you will meet friends from all over the world, people from different regions and backgrounds, and there will be all kinds of club activities.
No matter how busy she is, Song Tingnan never shirks her responsibilities when it comes to participating in activities. She believes that participating in social practice activities will help her grow faster. Through practice, she can hone her abilities, broaden her horizons, mature her thinking, and experience the charm of different cultures.
Song Tingnan kept in mind the saying in the Book of Changes, "Pride goes before a fall, humility brings benefit." He believed that everyone who was able to enter university had good learning abilities and their own strengths, so he should not look down on anyone.
