Rebirth of Bloody Romance

As the bell for the first class got closer, the waves in Zhong Yuemin's heart were like a textbook that had been read and studied many times. Even though it was so familiar, it was still difficult to calm the slight sense of nervousness that was almost imperceptible.

However, Zhong Yuemin knew very well that as a young teacher, only by bravely moving forward, taking those respected educators as his goals, and working tirelessly to pursue progress, could he slowly grow into an experienced and senior teacher on the long road of education.

At this moment, Zhong Yuemin stood quietly in front of the lecture hall, took a deep breath, and secretly told himself: Although it might be a luxury to win such a noble honor as the Nobel Prize, he must at least make sure that he fully understands and can teach this class well. Because this is not only a heavy responsibility, but also a solemn promise he made to the students.

"Don't waste the time of any 'bad student', and don't miss the talent of any 'top student'." This is the teaching philosophy and motto that Zhong Yuemin has always adhered to.

In Zhong Yuemin's eyes, every child is unique in the world. They may have different levels of academic performance, but without exception, they should be respected and cherished.

Zhong Yuemin walked into the classroom, feeling a little nervous, but more excited. He looked around and found that the students were all looking at him intently, their eyes full of desire for knowledge and a little confusion about the future. He knew that what he was about to start was not just a class, but also a guide for these young minds.

However, when he looked around the lecture hall, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. It was filled with people, obviously more than he expected, and many of them were not students.

What surprised him even more was that there were many familiar faces among them, such as Song Xiangjun, Zheng Tong, and even his wife Zhou Xiaobai. How could Zhou Xiaobai appear here? Why didn't she tell him in advance?

In addition, he also saw Director Wang and Principal Zhou from the SOE Reform Office, accompanied by several strangers. This scene seemed much larger and more complicated than he had expected. Zhong Yuemin could not help scratching his head, feeling somewhat confused and nervous.

However, Zhong Yuemin quickly adjusted his mindset. He knew that no matter who the audience was, his responsibility was the same - to impart knowledge and guide these young minds to find their own direction. He took a deep breath and refocused his attention on the class that was about to begin.

Zhong Yuemin walked steadily to the podium. Facing the packed classroom, he took a deep breath and began his self-introduction.

"Hello, leaders, teachers, and students!" Zhong Yuemin's voice was clear and loud, as if it carried a kind of magic, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly and continued, "Maybe many people don't know me, but it doesn't matter, I don't know most of you either." As soon as these words came out, a burst of relaxed laughter suddenly rang out in the classroom, and the originally tense atmosphere was instantly eased a lot.

"But it doesn't matter. Today, I hope that through this class, we can all have a chance to get to know each other. I will do my best to share my knowledge and experience with you, and I also look forward to discussing, learning and making progress together with you."

Zhong Yuemin stood on the podium, facing this serious classroom, and began a unique "chat". He cleared his throat, as if he was going to talk about a serious topic, but the next second, his tone suddenly changed.

"I remember one time when I was riding on a bus, I saw two elderly ladies without seats. I took the initiative to offer them my seat out of the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young." There was a hint of teasing in Zhong Yuemin's voice, as if he were an enthusiastic young man.

The students were all confused. They looked at each other and thought: Isn't this an economics class? Why is the teacher telling a story about giving up seats on the bus?

But Zhong Yuemin didn't stop. He continued, "After giving up my seat, I heard an old lady whisper to another old lady, 'This young man doesn't look good and looks like a gangster, but I didn't expect he has a good heart.' I was so angry that I wanted to take my seat back."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, and the classroom instantly caused an uproar and erupted into deafening laughter.

Zheng Tong laughed the most exaggeratedly. He leaned forward and backward, holding his stomach tightly with both hands, and tears were about to flow out.

At the same time, he did not forget to slap the table hard with his hands, as if he wanted to convey his inner joy to everyone present in this way.

Zhou Xiaobai had been trying hard to maintain her ladylike image, but she was ultimately overwhelmed by the shock of such a funny scene. She couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said with a hint of anger, "This Yuemin is really outrageous! He actually speaks without restraint in such an occasion, and has no sense of propriety at all."

Although Song Xiangjun also had a smile on her face, she was quite annoyed in her heart. She thought to herself, "Okay, Zhong Yuemin, wait and see how I deal with you in the future. I must make you suffer so that you won't make jokes everywhere and be ignorant of the immensity of the world!"

Despite this, amidst the laughter and joy, the students unexpectedly felt an indescribable sense of intimacy.

At this moment, in their eyes, Zhong Yuemin is no longer just the serious and majestic teacher, but more like a humorous person with a rich zest for life.

Such a unique opening made everyone more excited about the upcoming course.

After everyone's laughter gradually subsided, Zhong Yuemin coughed lightly and continued, "I was just joking with you guys just now! I just hope to make the atmosphere more relaxed, don't take it too seriously~ Actually, I am feeling uneasy standing here at this moment. Why do I say that? The reason is very simple - I am worried that I will mislead the students! People who know me must know that I graduated from the Department of Physics. As for the degree of understanding of economics... maybe I only know a little more than you here, but I am still far from being qualified to be a teacher!"

As soon as Zhong Yuemin finished speaking, a burst of whispers came from the audience.

"Hey, this teacher is quite interesting!" A few brave students couldn't help but whisper to each other in low voices. They were obviously deeply impressed by Zhong Yuemin's sincerity, frankness and unique sense of humor.

"Well, I feel like he's a little different from other teachers." Other students with keen observation noticed Zhong Yuemin's unique teaching style. After all, they were already used to the dull and lifeless traditional classroom model; however, the teacher named Zhong Yuemin suddenly broke into their world like a clear stream, bringing everyone an unprecedented novel feeling.

"You're still a bit boastful!" Several mischievous students said with a smile, showing a look of disapproval on their faces. They muttered to themselves:

How dare Zhong Yuemin claim that he knows "a little more" than those of us who study economics? Isn't this just bragging? However, it is precisely this slightly exaggerated way of bragging that makes them feel quite novel and interesting.

"That's right. A guy who studies physics actually has the audacity to say that he knows more about economics? He's really a bit arrogant!" The students' discussions spread quickly throughout the classroom like ripples.

But strangely, it did not cause any dissatisfaction or disgust. On the contrary, it made the originally somewhat restrained classroom atmosphere instantly become relaxed and pleasant.

Facing the doubts of his classmates, Zhong Yuemin remained calm and composed. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.

Then he continued as if nothing had happened. "Yes, maybe I did exaggerate a bit. But please believe me, as long as we work together and make progress together, I will definitely pass on my knowledge and valuable experience to you without reservation. Of course, in this process, you can also give me new perspectives and angles to think deeply about problems. Let us explore the mysteries of economics together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a warm applause in the classroom. The students expressed their recognition and appreciation for Zhong Yuemin, and were also full of expectations for the next course - what kind of unique learning journey will this maverick teacher bring them?

Zhong Yuemin stood on the podium, looked at every student in the classroom, and asked, "Can anyone tell me what economics is?"

Zhong Yuemin waited patiently, and soon some students began to raise their hands. Zhong Yuemin smiled and motioned for the first student to answer.

"Teacher, economy means money." The first student answered with a hint of confidence in his tone.

Zhong Yuemin nodded, but did not give an immediate comment. Instead, he turned to the second student who raised his hand. "Go ahead."

"Teacher, economics is about making money." The second student's answer was concise and clear, as if this was his most direct understanding of economics.

Zhong Yuemin nodded again, but again did not give a clear evaluation. He then looked at the third student who raised his hand. "Teacher, economy is productivity." This student's answer was obviously more in-depth and touched the core of economics.

Zhong Yuemin smiled and began to summarize calmly: "The students' answers are very interesting, and they also reflect everyone's initial understanding of the economy. Yes, the economy is indeed closely related to money and profit. After all, money plays a vital role in economic activities."

He paused and then elaborated: "From a broader perspective, however, the economy is more than just that. It actually involves the creation, conversion and ultimate realization of value. Specifically, the economy covers the comprehensive fields of human production, material flow, resource allocation, consumption behavior and all material and spiritual products. In short, the core issue that the economy is concerned with is how to effectively allocate and optimize existing resources and build a sustainable resource allocation mechanism."

Zhong Yuemin further explained. "As a discipline, economics is dedicated to exploring the laws and principles behind economic activities. According to different research perspectives and focuses, it can be divided into multiple sub-fields. Among them, political economics focuses on the impact of political factors on the economy; scientific economics emphasizes the use of scientific methods to analyze economic phenomena. Similarly, socialist economics and capitalist economics conduct research on different social systems respectively; while macroeconomics focuses on the level of overall economic operation, microeconomics focuses on the behavior of individual economic units. In addition, there are different schools of thought such as classical economics and modern economics, each of which has its own unique theoretical viewpoints and research methods."

Finally, Zhong Yuemin pointed out that "in actual economic activities, there are many participants, including ordinary individuals, corporate organizations, government departments, central banks, commercial banks, securities companies, insurance institutions, etc. These entities interact with each other in various ways and jointly promote the development and operation of the economy."

As Zhong Yuemin spoke, he gradually immersed himself in his own thoughts. He put the speech manuscript aside and began to speak freely. "People live in this world. God has given us resources, and humans maintain their survival and development by understanding nature and utilizing natural resources. This is the law given to us by nature. People must eat. There is no reason. People must work to exchange for food. This is the starting point of the economy."

Zhong Yuemin continued, "Economy is essentially the labor that people put in for survival and life. Economic development is the improvement and progress in form on this basis. From barbarism to civilization, from nomadism to agriculture, every progress is a profound change in production and life. Economy is the study of these production and life activities, and it is related to the reproduction and survival of mankind."

Zhong Yuemin paused and further explained, "The progress of production methods determines the progress of human lifestyles. We often say that 'laziness is human nature', but it is this 'laziness' that drives people to constantly seek more efficient production methods, and mental labor has become the driving force of economic development. From the use of simple tools to complex mechanized production, and in the future there will be informatization and even intelligence. Each change has greatly improved production efficiency and changed people's lifestyles."

"In ancient times, people lived together in groups and formed a tribal economy. At that time, there were basic economic activities of division of labor, production, distribution and consumption. With the expansion of the tribe and the subdivision of production, exchange gradually became an important link in economic activities. Thus, we have the four basic economic links of production, distribution, exchange and consumption, which are interdependent and influence each other, forming the basic framework of economic activities."

Zhong Yuemin's explanation was easy to understand and fascinating. The students listened with great interest and nodded in agreement from time to time. His explanation not only gave the students a deeper understanding of the economy, but also inspired them to think and explore future economic activities.

Zhong Yuemin continued, "When the tribe expanded and production activities became more segmented, the need for exchange emerged. As exchanges became more frequent, a complete social and economic system gradually took shape, in which the four links of production, distribution, exchange and consumption were interdependent and mutually reinforcing.

In this social and economic system, the need for exchange gave rise to a monetary economy. As a universally accepted medium of exchange, money has greatly promoted the convenience and efficiency of economic activities. Monetary economy is a naturally formed economic mode, which marks that the social and economic development has reached a certain stage.

As social practice continues to deepen, people begin to pay attention to economic behavior and conduct in-depth research on it. As a result, economics, as a discipline that specializes in studying production and life and exploring economic laws, came into being. Economics provides us with tools and methods to understand and analyze economic phenomena, helping us better grasp the laws of economic operation.

In economics, we divide economic activities into different types according to their characteristics. For example, an economy that relies mainly on agricultural production is called an agricultural economy, which relies on land and natural resources;

An economy that relies on market exchange to achieve resource allocation is called a market economy, which emphasizes free competition and supply and demand in the market;

An economy that relies on planning to organize production, distribution, exchange and consumption is called a planned economy, which pays more attention to the government's regulation and planning in economic activities.

These different types of economic forms have their own rationality and necessity in different historical periods and geographical conditions.

However, with the continuous development of social economy, new economic forms are constantly emerging, such as knowledge economy and information economy.

These new economic forms provide us with more development opportunities and challenges, and also require us to constantly update our knowledge and concepts to adapt to the new requirements of economic development. "

Zhong Yuemin took a sip of water and paused for a moment, waiting for the audience to digest the previous content. Then, he continued to explain in depth. "Finding the core point of the economy is the key to understanding the world and our own behavior. When we think about what the world is and what we are doing, we will find that everyone's thoughts and behaviors are revolving around this economic core."

Zhong Yuemin further explained, "But often people don't know what economic activities they are participating in, nor do they understand the basic principles of economics. From micro to macro, what we study is actually a core issue - the relationship between the collective economy and the individual economy, that is, the relationship between the whole and the part."

"Collective economy focuses on the interests and development of the whole, and it emphasizes the centralized use of resources and macro-control. Individual economy focuses on the interests and needs of individuals, and it emphasizes personal choice and freedom. The two seem contradictory, but in fact they are interdependent and mutually reinforcing."

"Understanding this, we can better grasp the laws of economic development and better handle the relationship between individuals and the collective, and between the local and the whole. Whether as an individual or as a member of a collective, we need to clarify our own positioning and goals in order to find our place in economic activities and realize our own value."

Zhong Yuemin's explanation was profound and easy to understand, which gave the audience a deeper understanding of the economy. They began to realize that the economy is not just an abstract concept, but is closely related to everyone's life.
