The grand occasion of Lion City’s championship victory
The Lion City Debate Competition, also known as the International College Debate Competition, has been held for 27 years since 1993.
Some people say that any program is the most classic, and the Lion City Debate Competition is also the most classic. This debate invited 10 regions including mainland China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan Province, China, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. Its grand event in the Lion City of Singapore is still regarded as a classic.
The referees at that time and the guests now seem to be big shots. First, Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, 41 years old at the time, served as the chief guest, and the famous Chinese writer Jin Yong served as the referee. The contestants gathered elite students from major universities.
The college students who represented mainland China that year were the "dragons among the dragons" and the "elites among the elites" selected by Fudan University. They are Jiang Feng, Yan Jia, Ji Xiang, Jiang Changjian, He Xiaolan and Zhang Qian, the latter two are substitutes. However, the last four only relied on their own good words to reach the finals from deus ex in major universities.
The opponent at that time was the powerful Taiwan Provincial University. Facing overseas compatriots, Fudan University’s “four major debaters” showed no mercy. On the last question: "Human nature is inherently good or inherently evil?" Fudan University is even better. Not only was it convincing, but it also sublimated the theme and eventually brought the championship trophy back to the motherland, instantly becoming the admiration of major domestic universities.
Receive special training to win glory for the country
However, behind this trophy is the hard work of these students. The debaters at Fudan University actually only got the news in March, less than half a year before the competition started in August.
Chinese people have always been like this. They do not fight unprepared battles. After receiving the invitation, Fudan University attached great importance to this competition. After a month-long screening on the campus network, 6 elites, 4 main debaters and 2 substitute debaters were left.
After the contestants are confirmed, assault training begins. In order to succeed in the competition, these people spend almost every day in the library under the guidance of teachers. By the day of the competition, they had read a lot, including the Four Books and Five Classics at home, foreign classics, economics, culture, politics, military and so on. They are all familiar with each one, and they even have biographies of celebrities at home and abroad. They are simply the "super brains" of the year.
With the support of book theories, teachers from Fudan University "opened a small kitchen" specifically for these students and taught classes in person, including history, philosophy, politics, and even art courses such as religion, music, and painting. They are bound to be fully armed and participate in the competition.
In this way, with the ardent expectations and deep blessings of their classmates, teachers and even the people of the country, these students came to the Singapore Lion City in Nanyang, not far away from thousands of miles away, and started a classic scene in the history of world debate.
Separated Life
It has been 27 years since the classic debate, but it is still unavoidable to be excited through the film and television materials preserved from that year. Looking at the debaters standing on the stage with high spirits and no stage fright, I am sincerely proud of them. Superintelligence, the top four debaters who were regarded as "gods" after returning to China, are now developing very well.
First of all, the most famous person, Jiang Changjian, won the title of "Best Debater" that year. Later, after graduation, he became a host and became active in the public eye.
Yes, he is the gold medal host of the TV show "Super Brain". Every time I watch this program he hosts, I can't help but be attracted by his quick on-the-spot reactions and mature hosting style, just like I am attracted by his appearance in debates.
Secondly, the female Jiang Feng who was the main debater at that time was no less good than the male. Her talent and eloquence are still impressive. After graduation, she also became a CCTV program host and writer with outstanding achievements.
The other two debaters, Ji Xiang and Yan Jia, did not choose a moderator. They prefer to work behind the scenes.
They all became lawyers and used their knowledge to help people in need. Now they are well-known in the legal community, which is also a success.
This is the life of four debaters from Fudan University. They once supported each other on the field and won championships together. After the competition, they devoted themselves to their respective study careers and started a different life of their own.
Summary:
Premier Zhou once said: "Read for the rise of China!" After watching the senior students of Fudan University, I have a deeper understanding of this truth. Studying in peacetime can still bring glory to the country. Reading enables us to distinguish right from wrong, arm ourselves to gain social recognition, and acquire the skills to build our motherland. Therefore, facing today's good learning environment, we must cherish today's conditions, concentrate on studying, and be a useful person to society in the future.
There is a road in the mountain of books, and there is no limit to the sea of ??learning. In ancient times, people studied hard for ten years, but in modern society, it basically takes 12 years to go to college. At this time, in the face of today's flashy social atmosphere, some people may ask what is the use of studying. Seeing that others make money easily and have low academic qualifications, they will feel confused about the hard life of studying now.
In fact, the author believes that when you feel confused, it is never wrong to go to school. Because reading not only enriches our brains, but also allows us to contribute to future social construction. It is enough to achieve such achievements through reading.
