Chapter 20 why study

When I was a kid, I was a kid who hated going to school. One morning when I was five or six years old, my father woke me up very early as usual, and went to morning exercises with him.After the practice, he said to me: "Pao, you are going to school." I'm not happy to hear it.go to school?Doesn't that mean that you can no longer play casually?Where we live, many rich kids have already gone to school. When I see them get up every morning carrying their schoolbags and going out in girly uniforms, I feel that they are worthless. I run around in the yard by myself, Play as long as you want, and when you are bored, go and help your mother fold clothes, watch your father cut and cook vegetables, or just chat with my "little girlfriend" - the little daughter of the consul's family. How happy!

I protested to my dad that I didn't want to go to school and I could learn things at home, but it didn't help.A few days later, I was out the door in my uniform and schoolbag, like those kids I hated. Nanhua Primary School is a very good school in the local area. The teachers are of high quality. They are very patient and kind to the students. The classroom environment is also very good. The students are also children from good families and generally well-educated.In fact, being able to study in this school was done through a lot of connections between my parents. I am very lucky.But how did I understand this when I was a child, I just felt that I didn’t want to go to school, and I was often angry, and I felt disgusted as soon as I walked into the school gate.

I have been hyperactive since I was a child. I always feel that there is nothing to do in class. I don’t want to listen to what the teacher is saying. I can’t understand many words. Watching the teacher’s mouth opening and closing, my brain has long been lost. up.Sometimes I was really bored, and I really wanted to be dragged out by my father for morning exercises, or simply beaten by him, which was better than just sitting on the seat.At that time, my favorite class was gymnastics, and I was very happy to finally be able to go out and exercise. This is much more boring, and I started to find fun by myself when I was mischievous.In class, I deliberately sat on a chair and fell backwards, making the whole class laugh, sometimes making faces at classmates, and sometimes knocking on the table, making it impossible for everyone to attend class quietly.This kind of trick was repeated a lot, and the teacher was not so patient. He dragged me out of the classroom and asked me to stand outside.In order to avoid attracting the attention of his classmates, he even lowered his voice and stared at me: "Chen Gangsheng, don't think you are great!"

Later, the teacher found out that I was completely persistent after repeated admonitions, so I became the best example of punishment methods.Sometimes in less than half a class, I was ordered to lift the stool over my head and stand in the corridor, and the teacher would not let it go until the teacher said stop.Later on, they would put a sign on my chest saying what mistakes I made, such as "I was mischievous again", "I lost my textbook", "I didn't do my homework", and sometimes it was just Write two words "useless".In fact, I couldn't recognize all the words on the sign at that time, but I could understand what the teacher scolded, and I guess it was almost the same as the words on it.

I became well-known throughout the school by hanging a sign and standing outside the door holding a stool.After a long time, I also learned to be a little lazy.If the teacher didn't stare at me, I would gently put down the stool and lean against the wall to take a nap.If there's one thing I learned at that time that will help me in the future, it's how to sleep standing up.I used this skill a lot on set many years later. After being mischievous, not doing my homework, and losing my textbooks, I started getting into fights at school, which wasn't exactly a deliberate bully, but still a headache for the school.Occasionally, after school, I couldn’t get a car, so I would go rock climbing on the last part of the road home, often tearing up my school uniform, or simply leaving my schoolbag on the top of the mountain and forgetting to pick it up.This usually results in a beating from Dad, or being thrown into confinement in the garbage room.

Finally, in the first grade, I repeated the grade.Seeing me like this, my parents began to realize that my son might really not be suitable for studying.They took me home, and I was so happy that I could go back to the days of playing around without worry! The good times didn't last long, and I was sent to the Chinese Academy of Drama under Master Yu Zhanyuan.Ten years of hellish training and life began there. Although daily practice is the main thing in the Drama Academy, we also have to study, but the way is the traditional private school.The content of learning is not like the mathematics, Chinese and English in the original school, but the Four Books and Five Classics. "The way of a university lies in being clear and bright, in being close to the people, and in stopping at the ultimate good. Knowing and stopping can lead to steadiness, steadiness can lead to tranquility, tranquility can lead to tranquility, tranquility can lead to worrying, worrying leads to gaining..." These are what I have learned so far. still remember.Master will not be like the teachers in the school. At most, you will be punished by holding up a stool. If we don’t study hard in the drama school, it’s like not practicing well. How dare you not recite it?What was memorized at that time is still very clear to this day.I had a good memory when I was a child, but now I don’t remember things so clearly when I recite them.

But our group of leather children quickly found the knack of being lazy.Occasionally, when I haven’t finished reciting, I’m afraid of being beaten by the master, so I will intimidate those younger brothers and sisters who have completed it: “You are not allowed to say that you can recite, do you hear me?!” When the private school master checks, “A certain chapter, Yuan Lou (My name from the School of Drama) You recite it." I said, "I'm sorry, I haven't recited it yet." The teacher gave me a look, and then called Sammo Hung again: "Yuan Long, you recite it." Sammo Hung also said yes No, after asking everyone at the end, everyone said that he hadn't recited it, so he didn't bother to tell Master Yu Zhanyuan to punish us.If you want to fight one or two, you still have the strength, and the dozens of people in the class can't beat them.

The name of our private school master is Dong Langying. I still remember that he writes very beautifully, and he always writes in one stroke, very smooth.At that time, he taught us brush calligraphy, and everyone was too lazy to learn, thinking: "Who wants to learn these things? What's the use?" Then everyone became more and more arrogant.During cultural class, Master Yu would usually go out to meet friends or gamble, and at this time we had fun.The boys would throw books and make funny faces in class, and the girls would chat loudly, and the teacher had nothing to do with us.The person in charge of releasing the wind will remind everyone in time that "Master is back", and we immediately sat obediently in our seats and put on a show.The salaries that the college can pay these cultural teachers are not high. Naturally, no one is willing to endure us bad kids. In the past few years, we have left 11 teachers successively, and everyone is proud every time.

When I grew up and went to the United States, everyone around me used credit cards, but I carried a lot of cash with me every day. At that time, I had to fill out forms with credit cards. I didn’t know how to fill out those forms. They are all different, so that people always have to check for a long time, and sometimes they still can't get it done, and then they start to feel ashamed of being uneducated. After becoming famous, I often have to sign autographs for movie fans. It’s okay in foreign countries. Your English name is nothing more than those 26 letters. People ask if they can write my name for me. Just ask her “How to spell” and write It's easy to get up.It’s very embarrassing in China. I often ask people to help me write my name, and I ask what the word is. I often don’t know how to write it, and I don’t understand what the radicals are. , In the end, it becomes troublesome for others to write it down, and I will write it accordingly. Sometimes what other people write is in cursive script, and I have to trouble others to write it in block letters before copying. It is really troublesome and embarrassing.In contrast, often only two Chinese names can be signed when signing ten English names.

After starting to do charity, I often went to some schools or orphanages, and people would ask me to sign or leave a sentence or two. Every time I felt very nervous or even scared.You will not understand this feeling.Sometimes when I opened the door and saw paper and pens on the table, and sometimes even writing brushes, I was scared away, and often pretended to have something to slip to the side.You can see that many educated people often leave some ink treasures, which are beautifully written, and those who receive them will be very happy.It's not that I don't want to write, but that I can't write, which makes me really ashamed, so now I tell young people that they must study hard whenever they have a chance.I used the money donated by movie fans all over the world and my own money to build so many Long Zixin schools, so that children in the mainland can study well from an early age.Now as long as I see those outstanding Chinese children all over the world, who are educated, cultivated and tolerant, I will be happy from the bottom of my heart.

Looking back on those past events when I was a child now, I feel very regretful that I didn't seize the opportunity when I had the opportunity to study.When I was young, how much property I owned and how many awards I had won were very important to me.As I got older, these things became less and less important to me, and I didn't care about them long ago.These years, if there is anything that I really regret and really want to start over, it is that I want to go back to my childhood and read books well. This is the only thing I regret now. Feng Xiaogang told me, brother, if you had read the book well, you would not be the Jackie Chan you are today.You should thank yourself for not studying hard in the first place.Having said that, I really want to have those knowledge in me in the long run, unlike my current self, who regrets every day.Often the words do not express the meaning, and the words spoken are misinterpreted and misunderstood. You can see that Bruce Lee has read a lot of books and studied philosophy, so there is something very profound in his speech.His "Be like water, my friend" speech is so good, it is because I have read books, so I can't speak so emotionally. I have always said that I am an old man, but over the years I have continued to learn, correct mistakes, and improve myself.I hope you young people can seize the good time, study hard, and leave no regrets. Original words by Bruce Lee: "Because of water is bodiless, you cannot catch it, you cannot hit it, and it's impossible to hurt it. Like water, make your body flexible, bodiless. Pour water into a cup, its shape becomes a cup; pour it into a cup bottle, its shape becomes a bottle; you pour water into a teapot, it becomes a teapot... water can flow; it can also bump, be like water, my friend!" "Because water is invisible, you can't catch it, you can't punch it, let alone hurt it. Like water, make the body flexible and invisible. Pour water into a cup, and it will be the shape of the cup; Pour water into a bottle and it will be the bottle; put water into a teapot and it will be the teapot. Water can flow and collide, be like water, my friend!"
