Mr. Bao and his son: Only use Stankang for hair oil

Chapter 27 Guo Chun
This is the first day of school for new students in provincial middle schools.

The provincial high school is a new college.

The so-called new style is actually Western style, and naturally it should be in line with the West, so some people also call it "foreign school".

Therefore, customs such as separate schools for boys and girls, and different classes in the same school have to be abandoned. Even the textbooks must adopt a new style, emphasizing "democracy" and "scientificness".

Oppose authoritarianism, ignorance and superstition.

There are many people who praise this, but there are also many people who criticize it.

There is no need to say too many words of praise. It is great to be able to make changes, not to mention learning advanced Western ideas and criticizing old ideas, which deserves everyone's praise and support.

Moreover, everything that is Western and foreign is good. Even if it does not achieve results, it is still poor and weak, and the result is not in line with the national conditions. This argument is also very common. Otherwise, how can we see that the Western powers are strong and China is weak?Even ordinary people who have never read can see the gap between the Republic of China and foreigners.

Although the criticism is somewhat sharp, it is more like pointing out problems and shortcomings:
Liang Qichao once said: "Education has not gotten rid of the legacy of the imperial examination" and "Although it adopts new textbooks in form, it still aims to hunt for officials in spirit, which is not very different from the imperial examination."

Tao Xingzhi said with emotion: "China's rural education is on the wrong track! He teaches people to leave the countryside and run to the city. He teaches people to eat without growing rice, to dress without growing cotton, and to build houses without afforestation. He teaches people to envy luxury. He looks down on farming. He teaches people to divide profits rather than make profits. He teaches farmers’ children to become nerds.”

According to what these people said, the so-called new-style schools probably just replaced the old stereotypes with foreign stereotypes, and it was still the imperial examination system.But not only that, it also induced farmers' children to become nerds.

But except for the unsightly nonsense of some Manchu relics and old stubborns, no one criticized it from the perspective of Western-style ideas such as democracy and science.

This probably makes sense. After all, the main force of current school professors is still left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Even if there are some new school teachers who open their eyes to the world, they are only a minority after all. How can they compare with the majestic power of those left behind.

What's more, who in this era is studying not to become an official?Those who are truly knowledgeable are not necessarily better than those who are powerful and powerful in their families.

Institutional and historical issues require time and improvement through continuous trial and error.

But Bao Guowei felt that he still had to see it in person to know what the school was like.

……

From time to time, wild geese from the north return in the sky, looking for a better habitat with the hope of survival.

It's a bit cold in the late autumn morning, and the cool air with an earthy smell pours straight into people's foreheads, limbs and bones, nourishing every cell in the human body.

Withered yellow leaves fell from the trees from time to time, falling gently to the ground.

It was raining and windy last night, and Bao Guowei picked up a leaf: yellow, dry, slightly moistened by rain.

The ground is covered with a coat made of leaves. When the wind blows, it will "swish, swish, swish, swish", fluttering and spinning in the wind, and sometimes forming a small vortex.

There is a piece of land in the west of Gusu City. Compared with other places, this place has less market atmosphere and more bookish and misty atmosphere.

There are many ginkgo, pine and maple trees planted on both sides of the road in the west of the city.After being moistened by light rain, it emits golden, emerald green, and bright red light, which looks delicate and charming against the ancient buildings on the roadside.

The emerald-like pool reflects the colorful leaves, ancient and elegant buildings, and the silhouettes of pedestrians.

It is like a Jiangnan landscape painting that exists only under the paint.

The Provincial High School is located on this land in the west of the city, and there are several double-story Western-style buildings on the campus.

Freshmen who come to report must enter through the north gate, pay the tuition for the first semester, register, and then enter the campus to find their classes.Bao Guowei and Lao Bao came here together. Most students are accompanied by their parents when they enter school, especially those who need to live on campus, carrying all kinds of things in big and small bags.

The government office also sent more government soldiers to maintain order and provide safety protection for the students.

At this moment, Chengxi Mixue Road is almost full of boys and girls wearing student uniforms.

Girls mostly like to wear dark blue tops, black skirts, white gauze socks and round-top cloth shoes. They are simple, concise and elegant, revealing the charm of ethnic costumes.

Most of the boys wear decent Chinese tunic or Western-style clothes, and they prefer black clothes and hard-soled leather shoes.Appear mature and steady.

Of course, there are occasionally students who are wearing ordinary clothes, wearing ordinary cotton clothes, wearing a pair of cloth shoes or cotton shoes, walking silently with their heads lowered, but after all, they are only a minority.

Young students followed their parents and came to this new college with ignorance.

There is a bulletin board at the school gate: Classes are divided into classes, please go inside and check the bulletin board. Of course, there are also some teachers at the school gate to provide consultation to students or help them deal with some reporting issues.

Lao Bao went to pay the tuition and came out with a receipt and payment voucher. He wanted to enter the school with Bao Guowei, but was stopped by a security guard.

"Sir, only students can enter the school. Please give the payment voucher to the enrolled students and let the students report to class alone. If they are students who live on campus, they can leave their luggage to us. This is for the safety of the students. Please Forgive me."

Most of the people who come to the new college are children from well-established families, so the security measures are naturally stricter.

Lao Bao is now wearing reading glasses, a relatively new cotton robe, and a pair of new cloth shoes. With the suit and leather shoes beside him, and a leather vest, Bao Guowei naturally deserves to be called Mr. .

"This……"

Lao Bao was a bit confused. There were a lot of things in the bag and it was not light. How could he let Guowei carry these things?

"I'll do it myself. Dad, you can go back. Just check in and go home in the evening."

Bao Guowei directly pulled the bag off his back. The bag was heavy and hard. He didn't know what miscellaneous things the old bag contained. He probably brought some books from the study with him.

Taking the receipt, Bao Guowei entered the north gate alone. Lao Bao watched until his figure disappeared from sight.

There were a group of people gathered in front of several bulletin boards, chattering about something. Perhaps some of them were already friends, or they had just met for a short time and became friends who could hang out with each other, so the conversation was lively and lively.

Bao Guowei waited for a long time before finding out that he was in Class [-], Grade [-], in Building [-].

The layout of the school made Bao Guowei a little confused. He searched for numbers [-], [-], [-] and [-] but could not find number [-]. After searching for a long time, he found that it was in the innermost building.

Looking for the classes again, the ordering is confusing. The smaller classes are on the second floor. I am afraid they are sorted according to the Western order from top to bottom and from left to right, so as to show that I am new enough and Western enough.

Bao Guowei came quite early, and there were not many people in the class. There were men and women. Some started reading when they were sitting in their seats, and some were sitting on the table talking loudly with others. , and made laughing sounds from time to time.

Bao Guowei chose a seat in the back row by the window. As soon as he put down his schoolbag, someone noticed him.

"Hello, my name is Guo Chun. If you want to sit here, you will be my deskmate."
