"Professor Chen said that there's nothing wrong with it! Tell me, we've spent so much time learning this thing. What's the use of it in the end? Could it be that we're really waiting for that foreigner to visit Great Xia so that we can go up and talk to him?”
"Yes, I also feel that the children have put in a lot of effort in this area over the years, but in the end, it seems that it's really useless.”
"That's right! Even if we go to other countries, it won't be of much use. Just like Professor Chen said, English is also very particular about the dialect outside. If you speak English, you won't even be able to understand it."
The audience discussed. At this moment, they all understood.
According to Professor Chen Qiang's analysis, English was no longer useless to most ordinary people. It was really useless.
"Professor Chen Qiang, you have to take responsibility for what you said. If you don't learn English well, how are you going to do academic things in the future?”
the professor said again.
"Professor Chen, is that so? If you really do that, then how will the country's academic research be done? You should know this best!”
The host interrupted.
At this moment, the popularity of this seminar on the Internet was not just a little bit. Because of Chen Qiang's remarks and the rebuttals of many professors, this content was edited into a Short videos and released by many people. For a time, it quickly attracted many people.
Coincidentally, today was also a holiday. Many students came over after hearing Chen Qiang's content. Finally, there was someone who could help them express their feelings. Moreover, it was such a professor. Their mood was undoubtedly quite excited.
"Don't be anxious. Next, I'll tell you the second greatest danger of English education! It has seriously harmed the cultural foundation of my Great Xia. Many of my friends thought that I was just exaggerating and that there was no such thing. However,
"If this continues, my friends, such a thing might really happen. I'm sure everyone knows the status of English education in Great Xia. In order to pass the so-called English exam and to have such a skill in their future work, English has surpassed all other subjects. Its importance has been placed in the first place. Everyone might as well take a look at which cram school is the most popular now and you'll understand!”
Many people in the audience nodded. This was a fact that everyone in Great Xia understood. However, everyone could only follow in silence because, amidst the constant " flattery ", the nature of English was so important.
Chen Qiang paused for a moment and then said,
" However, have you ever thought about the consequences of promoting foreign language education so highly?
Everyone believed that the language of Great Xia was learned imperceptibly after birth. As a person of Great Xia, what was the use of learning it well? Even if it was bad, how bad could it be?
However, have you ever thought about how terrifying it is for our generation to have such thoughts seep in?! Mandarin is definitely not something that you can understand just by scratching the surface. It is integrated into the cultural foundation of our Great Xia!
Thinking about it, as a student of Great Xia, I can't even remember the 'Preface to King Teng's Pavilion', the national treasure of Great Xia. I can only say that it's really sad!
Foreign words can be written backwards, but Great Xia characters can be forgotten. Now that the situation has reached this stage, do you think we can wait for the warning of foreign language education? What if we wait another few decades? What would our Great Xia culture become?”
Just as Chen Qiang had said before, why was the national language the first to be affected? It was precisely because the people of Great Xia thought that this thing was imperceptible and that it didn't matter if they didn't learn it. They all thought that if they spent time on learning foreign languages, wouldn't it be good for him?
However, they didn't know that foreign languages had a subtle influence on Great Xia's culture.
"I'm thinking, right now, all we've forgotten is the 'Preface to King Teng Pavilion'. But in the future, will we have to abandon the most basic Tang poetry? As a student of Great Xia, if we can't even recite a single' Silent Night Meditation', what kind of scene would it be?”
Chen Qiang's words were like a pendulum, constantly knocking on everyone's hearts.
In fact, Mandarin was the thing that should be cultivated the most in the teenage years. Because the charm of Mandarin was unmatched. This thing was the most important accumulation.
What about foreign languages?
To the people of Great Xia, it was nothing more than a tool for communication. It could neither influence you nor infect you. However, this tool was actually used before the national language as the foundation. This was a sad thing!
After hearing Chen Qiang's words, many people realized the seriousness of the matter. It was quite terrifying to praise a tool to such an extent.
Although Chen Qiang said that he couldn't even recite a single chapter of 'Silent Night Meditation', which was a bit exaggerated, it was undeniable that the youngsters nowadays couldn't even recite a single chapter of' Preface to King Teng Pavilion', which was the national essence.
If this continued, English would continue to be included in everyone's papers, and the status of Mandarin would definitely be weakened.
Language was the carrier of culture. If he didn't even care about his own culture, what would occupy Great Xia's culture in the future?
Western culture!
Even now, the younger generation was still proud of celebrating Christmas. They said " merry, Christmas ". Although it was not to the point of going overboard, it was enough to know what the situation was like.
Chen Qiang said that the current situation was destroying Great Xia's cultural foundation. This was not an exaggeration, it was the truth!
When he said the last sentence, when people thought of these things, they were instantly stunned.
