"Mr. Dulin, as far as I know, before the federal government encountered the financial tsunami, he once considered implementing a policy of free education for all people. However, because the expenditure on education funds exceeded the fiscal space reserved, he regretfully chose to postpone it. back."
"We all know that the federal economy at that time could not support the policy of free education, so how do you ensure that free education can continue to be carried out in Ambluo State? What is your confidence?"
The reporter who is interviewing Dulin is Dulin's old friend, Mr. Margery, an internationally renowned journalist who immigrated from the Federation to the Empire on the grounds of political asylum.
After announcing the "truth" to the public for the last time, Margery came to the Empire and settled down. In view of his courage to report the "truth" during the federal period and his style of not fearing power, the "Empire Daily News" directly hired this outstanding reporter to become a columnist and a front-line reporter to continue to use his light and enthusiasm. .
This time Du Lin dropped an unprecedented big bomb, which shocked the whole society. In the past, free education was often just a slogan and expectation for people to pursue an ideal life. Although the vast majority of people desire it, they are still very I understand rationally that this is impossible to come true.
But in such a general environment, Du Lin first proposed the implementation of free education, which made many enthusiastic people eager to learn more content that they believed in. Education, medical care, public security, and employment have always been the topics that people are most concerned about, and society's attention is once again focused on Dulin, the "star politician."
He was like a light source in the darkness, attracting society's wandering attention all the time. The Empire Daily sent Margery, who had a good personal relationship with Dulin, to interview him and talk about issues related to education.
Du Lin crossed his legs and pressed his hands naturally on his thighs. He answered calmly with a slight smile on his face, "I have never been to school..." As he said this, he couldn't help laughing, and the room suddenly lit up. , the reporter who was taking pictures keenly captured the moment when he smiled, vividly and naturally.
"From the time I was sensible to the time I left my birthplace, I didn't receive any education in the past sixteen years. I couldn't read or write. Those things were very strange to me."
"I went to Turner City alone, thinking of making my first pot of gold by washing cars for those rich people, but..." He shook his head, with nostalgia and aftertaste on his face, "Later, I went to the station to work hard, and every time I fell asleep when I was so tired, I would think, this is not the life I want, and I am not willing to live like this ordinary life. Young people are full of illusions about the future and desire for a better life. I know that I need to work hard, struggle, and use my own hands to build a bright future for myself.”
"During this period, I also tried to change some jobs, but without exception they all failed. These failures gave me enough experience and lessons. In the process of summarizing these failures, I discovered a problem, that is, the better The more jobs you have, the higher the educational requirements are!”
"Being a homeless person does not require you to know anything, but if you want to be an accountant, you need to have a professional qualification certificate. Lawyers, doctors, managers and more high-income professions have strict admission standards. , all related to issues of education and knowledge.”
"I realized I needed to change!"
"I needed to know how to read and write correctly. I used the money I saved to sign up for a short-term cultural class, where I began to master the skills of reading and writing. I strictly demanded myself and squeezed myself after work. With all the potential, by the end of the cultural class, I probably had an education level of about the fourth grade of primary school.”
"This also changed my destiny a little bit. At the same time, I also deeply realized that knowledge and destiny are closely linked!"
"I have been learning since then, and here I have to mention a friend who is very important to my whole life, Mr. Kevin, who gave me the greatest encouragement and help."
"Mr. Kevin told me that I must read more. No matter what the content is, I must read more. Since it can be printed into a book, there must be knowledge and wisdom hidden in it that is accepted by society. I respect the educated Mr. Kevin is a literate person, so I followed his advice to me and I started reading more books.”
"Whenever I find some words that I don't understand or don't know, I will look them up in the dictionary, copy them down, and keep them in mind. I will try my best to understand the literal meaning of every sentence in the book, And the deeper meaning it wants to express, I will delve into it, and then tell myself that I have gained another harvest and grown!”
"In the countless times of growth and harvest, my destiny has also changed step by step, just like what you see now."
"I'm sitting here, being interviewed by you."
"People often say that Mr. Dulin has a lot of wealth. They mean money..." Dulin smiled slightly proudly, "But in my opinion, my greatest wealth is my knowledge and... My thirst for more knowledge!”
Margery made the most affectionate sigh at the most appropriate time, "It's so inspiring, Mr. Dulin. I have never known you on a deeper level. I didn't expect you to have such a past. I remember you said In other words, it is said that ‘knowledge changes destiny’, right?”
Dulin nodded, and Margery asked, "So do you still think so now?"
"Yes, I always think so, this is the most reasonable thing!"
"So is this why you want to promote free education?" Margery looked up and asked as he was writing something in his notebook.
Dulin nodded again, "I, as the most significant beneficiary of the wise saying 'knowledge changes destiny', I should allow more people who need to change their destiny to have such an opportunity. I don't want many people like me to Just like when they were young, children who give up on education because they are too poor to afford tuition will miss out on potentially changing lives in their long lives. "
"As a member of the new party with a sense of social responsibility and an entrepreneur in the empire, I am willing to take on my responsibilities and give back to this society. You just asked a question about how free education can continue to be carried out in Ambluo State. My answer It’s very simple, that is responsibility, obligation and right!”
"I believe that as long as I can implement free education during my term of office, all children can enjoy free educational resources. After my term of office ends, they will enter the society and rely on the help provided by free education. , changed the trajectory of their lives, then they will also understand my true inner feelings and thoughts at this moment. I believe that more successful people will stand up and stand with me to fight for free education. Add new motivation!”
"And as long as I can afford it, I will keep doing it!"
"A very touching sense of social responsibility!" Margery praised Dulin's contribution to society, and then talked about another issue, "But some people think that you put forward the slogan of free education just to get voters to vote. For you, you may not implement it comprehensively. It may only be free of charge in a few schools on a pilot basis. What is your evaluation of this? "
Dulin was silent for a moment, "Narrow-minded, ugly, and stupid. These are not enough to describe the humble psychological dynamics of these people. They express opinions on my behavior without knowing me, which is obviously very stupid."
"If they really want to see me make a fool of myself, the best way is to let me successfully defeat others, then lift me to the sky, and then watch me fail and watch me make a fool of myself. This is the most appropriate choice. , instead of measuring the world with your mouth like a woman!"
After nearly an hour of interviews, Margery obtained enough material to write a serial feature. At the end of the interview, he asked Dulin, "This is the last question. If you were asked to use one sentence, To describe yourself, how do you think is the best way to express yourself?”
Du Lin blurted out without thinking, "Youth is the power to change the times!"
That night, Margery wrote a press release and sent it to the Empire Daily News via telegram, which was published on the second page of the next day's newspaper. As soon as the report was released, it immediately received a huge response from society. The evaluation this time was almost overwhelming. Everyone thought that Dulin had done a good thing, and this is what the empire should do.
Improving the education level of all people will definitely not be a bad thing for the entire empire. As the level of education increases, the emergence of talents will also increase. More talents will emerge, and a large number of fresh blood will appear in every field. , these talents will promote the rapid development and update of all aspects of the empire and embark on the path of becoming a world power.
At the same time, there are two sentences that have become popular buzzwords. The first sentence is "knowledge changes destiny". People like this sentence very much. Especially the middle class. For people in this class, Dulin's words simply spoke to their hearts. They are obviously the beneficiaries of knowledge that changes their destiny.
Higher academic qualifications allow them to easily find a suitable soil for their survival in this society, a wealthy life, and relaxed financial conditions. The basis of all this lies in their education level. Dulin is the person who knows them best.
