Recently, the Hong Kong education community has set off a major discussion of patriotism education.
The reason for thethings was that the official Chinese official returned to the end of July to the students of Peiqiao Middle School in Hong Kong's traditional patriotic school. I hope they will grow up their family conditions and grow up as soon as possible.After the news came out, the patriotic schools that have been ignored by Hong Kong in the past have once again attracted social attention, and also evoked my memories of studying in patriotic schools.
On the eve of the return of 1997, there were about five or six patriotic schools, commonly known as the "left school" in Hong Kong. Their school's purpose of running a school was clearly "cultivating students' concept of patriotism and love Hong Kong."Because the Hong Kong and British governments do not fund, most of these left schools are new immigrants in mainland China.
I moved to Hong Kong in the early 1990s. At that time, my father took me to find a school everywhere. Local schools rejected it as soon as I heard that I was a new immigrant.Under the nails, I went to a left school with a rebirth middle school to study in junior high school.
At that time, there was a certain reputation in the rebirth middle school, but because the Hong Kong government was not approved, it could only be opened next to a movie theater. The environment was simple and there was no playground.I have studied two years in the rebirth middle school. Due to economic difficulties, the school finally closed.
My teachers later went to other left schools such as Hanhua Middle School to teach, but I was recommended to go to another left school Mong Kok worker children's middle school.The students in this school are mainly children of grass -roots families, and they also recruit new immigrants, with a proportion of new immigrants of more than half.
I have read five years of books there, and then I am promoted to the university.He and the late President of the Federation of Democratic Construction of the largest party in Hong Kong were middle school classmates, and they were all key students cultivating overseas Chinese.
Maybe the teacher knows that I am also from the left school and gave me a good thesis title.Unfortunately, when I was in college, I just met my girlfriend, wrote a dissertation, and did not cherish the teacher's mind.Fortunately, the teacher later revised it. After many years, the papers were put into an international journal in the form of joint names.
Coincidentally, my girlfriend at that time also studied two left schools at the middle school: Fujian Middle School and Xiangdao Middle School.After we got married, I also became the "son -in -law" of the two universities.Because of these experiences, I was unexpectedly related to all traditional patriotic middle schools in Hong Kong, and many friends around me were leftists.
The Hong Kong Government has always said that in recent years, it is necessary to strengthen the cultivation of students' "patriotic feelings". The first reaction of the Hong Kong people is to talk about changes in the tiger, and it is determined that it is brainwashing education.But according to my experience in the left school, this is actually a big mistake.
I especially remember that when I was in middle school, the school stipulated that we had to read the Dagong or Wen report every day. However, most students did not read the political news version, but the entertainment version.I still remember that there was a world -world talk about the Wen Wei report, which specifically reported weird and soft news around the world. We are only interested in these information.
The left school school will be promoted at the playground at the beginning of each month, and you have to go to the morning class every day. As well as experts every week, experts go to the school auditorium to hold a lecture for teachers and students to analyze the changes in the domestic and foreign situation.But these activities are not welcomed by the students, and everyone is drowsy as soon as they arrive.
From today's perspective, the patriotic education we received in the left school that year can be said to have failed.
Strangely, many of us suddenly became a national sense of belonging from ignorance when we grew up.The only parade I have participated in this time is that during the college period, I participated in the student union demonstration and went to the entrance of the US consulate in the United States to protest the bombing of the Chinese embassy in the Yugoslavia embassy in the United States.
Later, some of our alumni party reflection reflected why the patriotic concept was formed. Everyone's consensus was that this national concept was not deliberately cultivated by the school, but the school insisted on patriotism in the environment of lack of resources and infected everyone.For example, a teacher received a meager salary for the concept and touched everyone's hearts.A patriotic teacher returned to his hometown in the mainland by boat and saw a dance performance on the boat, and wrote a letter to the official complaint with the mainland.We can't stand this kind of trivial matter, but we are gradually affected by the teachers' lofty character.
Recently, I am reading a book written by a mathematician. The book asked about the growing growth of water plants every day, and it takes 21 days to accounted for a full pool.How long does it take to take half of the pool?The answer is 20 days.The above example proposes an interesting index -type growth concept, which means that there is a time process that happened.After a change of time variables, the results will be greatly different.In real life, it is friends who do the right thing to be patient and be friends.The turning point may come very late, but once it comes, it will be unstoppable.
The anti -repair example in 2019 exposes the severe shortage of national education in Hong Kong.After the launch of the Hong Kong National Security Law, talked about patriotism in the school began to be a good thing, making a group of patriotic schools feel angry.Many people in the educational community have also spoke, asking the officials to vigorously promote patriotism education, and they can't wait to see the effect immediately.
Young people should definitely receive national education.However, according to the theory of exponential growth, doing a good job of patriotism is a long -term work that cannot be expected to be achieved overnight.Just as water can dripsticks, but it takes a long time to brew.In order to cultivate students' correct national concepts, in addition to not being able to preach, it is also necessary to guide them with a silent method of moisturizing, so that students can establish perceptual identity with the country little by little.
