intellectual norms

In November, Qiao Yu’s sharing meeting was originally held in the library of Hongda University. Cheng Yu was responsible for organizing and arranging the students who were going to attend from both inside and outside the school, but it turned out that there were too many people. After discussing with him, it was changed to Jiangong Building. lecture theater.

Just like this, the lecture halls that can accommodate the entire college are not enough in the end, and the crowds are crowded and crowded.

The students in the main campus of the school are close to the water and can have seats. The science students in the third year of the high school attached to Hongda University basically also went. They also received special treatment and were arranged in the front rows of the lecture hall.

Students from other schools who major in construction engineering are not treated so well. They are all squeezed into the corners, and the places where they can stand are full.

Zhou Yishen suggested that Qiao Yu should just go to the auditorium instead. Qiao Yu felt that it was too exaggerated. He originally meant to share a small-scale and close-up, but now this battle seems to be at the level of a serious speech.

Of course, this is not his first speech or sharing, and it is not even the first time in China. When Lin Zhihua and Lin Zhihua returned to China during the summer vacation, they caught up with the graduation season and were temporarily pulled by the School of Civil Engineering to give a speech.

But this time is different, his identity is different, and the people sitting in the audience are different.

So many people came here for the word "Qiao Yu". He has only returned to China not long ago, but his past experience has made him a light in the industry. He must let himself shine and heat.

The people sitting in the audience are all young people who are about to enter this industry. How many hopes and expectations they have for the future, how much will be shattered by reality in the future, how much is left, and what will they rely on to support them? Want to stay in this not-so-glamorous industry?

Qiao Yu thought a lot. In the end, what he decided to share was not about the Chinese version of the book he had just released. All technical things can be learned through classroom theory and practice, and even aesthetics and creativity can be learned. Gradually improve, the only thing about "faith", which is similar to "enlightenment", is related to the original intention and life encounters. It may always exist, it may never exist, and it may be wasted in the future life. It may also become more and more determined and never repent.

It is nothing but important.

Qiao Yu wanted to talk about this with the young man he valued.

Cheng Yu was the host of this sharing session on the lecture hall platform. Although everyone present knew who Qiao Yu was, he still specially made a PPT. main character.

Xia Xiaoli sat in the middle of the third row, watching the PPT page by page without taking his eyes off him. He had already memorized Qiao Yu's resume and background by heart, and he knew it by heart, but watching it with so many people made him feel inexplicably excited.

The senior three students in the attached high school were still unfamiliar with Qiao Yu, and they exclaimed from time to time when so many professional awards and well-known works were listed one by one.

Jian Rong sat with him, and both of them were silent.

At the end of the introduction, Jian Rong sighed softly and said, "He is such an idol."

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and Qiao Yu, the protagonist on the stage, strode out from a corner of the podium.

Wearing the suit jacket he specially selected, this time he didn’t choose the casual style, it was a little more formal, and the slim fit style, because his shoulders were wide and his legs were long, made it look more fashionable. Xia Xiaoli had seen several TomFord suits at Qiao Yu’s house, There are also perfumes of the same brand.

It really suits him very well. The suits of this brand are too fashionable, and Qiao Yu doesn't usually wear them, but they are very suitable for today's occasion. The whole person looks like a male model. The girls at the scene all exclaimed, Xia Xiaoli stretched her neck ,like a statue.

There was a prepared sofa on the podium. Cheng Yu prepared a form similar to an interview, but Qiao Yu didn’t sit down. He stood in the center of the podium with a microphone in his hand, turned slightly and said to Cheng Yu, “Thank you for hosting.” Cheng Yu’s introduction to me just now is more comprehensive than Wikipedia and Baidu Encyclopedia, I will let both of them learn later.”

The tone was relaxed and humorous, and even more enthusiastic applause and laughter broke out in the audience.

Qiao Yu signaled to Cheng Yu in the applause that there would be no interview, and he would speak directly.

So Cheng Yu stood up, bowed, and left the stage with a smile.

"Hi everyone, I'm Qiao Yu."

"A lot of people came today, I know a small number of them, and most of them are just seeing each other for the first time. Thank you very much for coming to this 'little' sharing session. I think everyone who came to the scene, more or less At least some of them have a certain purpose, and some students have read the book I just published on bridge technology, but unfortunately, today I will not talk about how to build small-radius curved bridges or UHPC combined continuous bridges. The issue of professional skills is left to you in the second, third, and fourth classes, mainly because I am afraid that if I talk about it here in advance, my junior students will have a reason to skip class next week."

There was another burst of laughter from the audience. Xia Xiaoli was very surprised. He didn't expect Qiao Yu's speech to be in this style. It was not serious at all, and he even wanted to laugh.

"Then what else can we talk about? After all, we construction workers are so pragmatic. If you don't hear some dry goods here, you will feel that it is a waste of time. Sorry, my intention today is to 'waste' some Let’s talk about the “demons” that every construction worker will encounter.” When Qiao Yu mentioned “waste” and “demons”, he deliberately bent two fingers and drew a capital quotation mark.

"Students who have already entered university, think back to why you applied for this major? Maybe most people will say, because it is easy to get a job, then let me ask you again, is the purpose of going to university for employment?"

"Otherwise, many people would definitely answer that way." Qiao Yu said.

Xia Xiaoli heard several boys in the back row laughing and whispering, or else.

"It's the same for construction and civil engineering. A grassroots designer may not be as easy to find a job as a skilled worker who drives an excavator, and even the wages may not be comparable to others at the beginning, but why didn't you choose to drive an excavator? "

A courageous boy jumped out and shouted: "Because I don't have face!"

Another group of classmates laughed.

This is a common joke in the industry. Those who work on structures are not as good as those who drive excavators. On the stage, Qiao Yu also laughed, and facing the direction of the boy, he said: "Very well, those who have studied know how to save face, then I will do it again." Let me ask you, business administration, law, medicine, don’t these have more face than being humiliated on the construction site? Why didn’t you choose these majors? Your college entrance examination scores should be enough.”

The admission scores of the School of Construction and Engineering of Hongda University are either first or second among majors every year. These students who sit or stand have choices that year.

The laughter in the audience gradually quieted down. These big boys were ashamed to admit that at least some of them chose this major because they liked it.

Boys have a natural closeness to engineering, design and build houses by themselves, and build all kinds of awesome buildings that can be named. Qiao Yu stopped for a while to let the quiet atmosphere spread, and then said: "Because you like it."

The field is quieter.

"But this love will gradually fade as you go deeper into society, and one day you will even start to doubt your choice and this love. When your younger peers are sitting in the office in smart clothes, and get more salary than you just by tapping on the computer with your fingers, there will be a strong psychological imbalance."

"We don't talk about the problem of diminishing marginal effect, which is a natural law problem that human beings can't overcome at all. In today's society, many people say that they are curly and impetuous. On the one hand, people who are forced to roll up can't find a way out. You work very hard to be considered alive. On the other hand, there are many people who just take some photos, short videos, and do a few live broadcasts, and you can earn all your money for several years. Is this fair? ?”

"It's not fair!" The people below almost roared out.

"This is the reality of society, and it is a problem that you will definitely face. Now ask yourself, do you still want to stick to this major?"

There were whispers in the audience again, and Xia Xiaoli heard many college students complain about all kinds of impetuousness in today's society, and half-jokingly said that it would be better to drop out of school and live broadcast to sell goods.

Sure enough, someone asked: "Professor Qiao, is this a speech to persuade you to quit your major today?"

"Okay," Qiao Yu said again, and the crowd became quiet again: "Obviously, some people's morale has been shaken."

The students chuckled under their breath.

Qiao Yu said: "This major is not glamorous, it is difficult to gain fame and fortune easily, it is very hard work, and the effort may not be directly proportional to the gain, and it does not conform to the current social trend, but I have said so much, some of you must still say in your heart, I just want to give it a try.”

"Students like this, let's applaud their courage first."

There was a burst of applause from the audience, which was for the students themselves.

Qiao Yu continued: "Everything I just said is about the desires of human beings and society. Desires are complex, changeable, and always flowing. The choices we make are nothing more than two, to pursue desires, Or seek eternity."

"Desires are everywhere, just like the trend of society is always changing, talent shows, merchandising, e-sports, script killing... For the big era, this is the richness that social progress will inevitably bring. Individuals, if they are always chasing the trend, but do not know whether it is what they want, it is a very tiring and self-consuming thing, and it will definitely not be successful."

"At your age, you may think it's cool to follow trends, but I think it's cool to not follow trends, for example, when we stand in front of the Sagrada Familia designed by the Spanish architect Gaudi Standing in front of the Golden Gate Bridge that has been destroyed countless times in countless movies, standing in front of the Forbidden City in winter, these buildings that span the long river of history and are close to eternity in a narrow definition, I think they are cooler, their designers, Builder, cooler."

"This is the reason why we choose this major. We choose to use eternity to dispel the flowing desire."

With just this sentence, Xia Xiaoli's blood became hot all over.

There was a feeling in a trance. When Qiao Yu said the last sentence, his eyes fell on him in the middle of the front seat.
