Chapter 160 ugly soil

Had Cui Qi stayed in Hong Kong after graduating from Pui Ching Middle School, he might not have become a Nobel Prize-winning physicist.It is absolutely impossible for the soil of Hong Kong to produce an outstanding scientist, writer, philosopher or historian. Pursuing knowledge, in addition to one's own intelligence and hard work, also requires proper soil. If it is not the soil of the Champagne region of France, how can it be possible to cultivate real champagne? In mid-October this year, I spent most of the day at the British Museum in London.What impressed me the most was not one rare treasure after another, but a group of children led by teachers to visit the museum.Their age ranges from eight to eleven years old.These elementary school students in school uniforms each took a sketchbook, and after listening to the teacher's explanation, they each squatted in front of the treasure they liked and drew that thing.

We first encountered many ancient objects in the British Museum and their history in the Western History class in the first year of secondary school.What we see are only pictures, and we have no chance to see the real thing.I hate memorizing books, but for the exam, I memorize the textbooks bluntly.I've had my fair share of frustration dealing with that freaky history teacher and countless quizzes.Children studying in London, at the age of eight or nine, can already see with their own eyes what we can only read about in books.Only in this way can reading have value and enjoyment.Seeing those happy children made me realize what I had lost.
