One cannot be truly wise unless one is truly moral.

Woo~ click click.

The train moved slowly.Following the topic brought up by Chen Xingyang, Professor Zuo Zi couldn't help but joined the discussion, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

Professor Zuo Zircon presented a difficult challenge.

Yu Fan: "Oh? Old sir, please tell me, what is an unsolvable problem?"

Zuo Zi shook his neck, made a rattling sound, looked around the box, and said, "Then let's talk about trains."

Yu Fan: "The topic of the train?"

Zuo Zircon: "Yes, all three of you come to participate, let's discuss and discuss together."

The three looked at Zuo Zircon with great interest, with expectant and curious eyes.

Zuo Zi had a calm and dignified expression, quite like an experienced scholar, and said: "Suppose you are a train driver. This train is driving at high speed on the track, and suddenly you find that five people are working there on the far side of the track. And you can't stop the train, because the train's brakes failed, and you can only watch them die. At this time, you find that there is only one worker on the fork ahead. If you want, drive the train to the fork , sacrifice one person, save the lives of five people. What will you do?"

Yu Fan, Chen Xingyang, and Guo Na fell into thinking, this is a dilemma.

Zuo Zi paused for a moment, and said, "That's good, if you choose to drive the train to the side road, sacrifice one person, and save five, please raise your hand."

Chen frame Yang raised his hand without hesitation, Guo Na hesitated a little, then raised his hand too.Yu Fan shook his body slightly, but did not raise his hand.

Professor Zuo Zircon smiled slightly and said, "Okay, now let's assume another situation. Suppose you are a bystander. You stand on the platform and a train is coming. There are still five A man is working there, and the train's brakes fail again, and those five people have no idea that the danger is coming. The train is about to kill these five people, and you still can't do anything. Until you find out, there is a strange fat man right next to you Beside..." Zuo Zi paused.

The three pricked up their ears.

Zuo Zircon continued: "This young and strange fat man is by your side right now. If you push this fat man off the platform now, he will be able to block the train and prevent the five people in front from being hit and killed. But doing so , this fat man will definitely die. To sacrifice one person and save five, how would you choose at this time?"

The three of them took a few deep breaths, it was really a difficult choice.

Zuo Zircon: "It's still the old rules, if you choose to push the fat man down and save five people, please raise your hand."

The choice this time is obviously much more difficult than before, and the three of them are also thinking and weighing hard.

"The train is coming! Hurry up and choose!" Zuo Zir urged.

Chen frame Yang raised his hand slowly, Guo Na pursed his mouth, but still didn't make up his mind to raise his hand.Yu Fan still didn't raise his hand.

Zuo Zi stroked his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Very good. Then I will describe the situation again. You are still on the platform, and there is still a big fat man next to you, and this big fat man is your close relative and friend, just like the relationship between you two." The relationship is the same..."

The three looked at each other.

Zuo Zircon continued: "At this time, only by pushing this fat man down can the lives of those five people on the railroad track be saved! Will you push your good friend fat man off the platform? If you choose to push, please raise your hand now. "

This time, Guo Na shook her head vigorously, she was unwilling to do this.Chen Xingyang didn't raise his hand anymore, but joked, "It depends on who you push. If you push the glasses brother next to me, I won't hesitate to let him feed me dog food all day long. He deserves it." .”

After Guo Na heard this, she felt very upset, and quickly criticized Chen Xiangyang, saying: "Department Chen..." Guo Na almost gave up and called out "Minister Chen". "Chen...shameless."

Chen Xiangyang laughed loudly: "Look at you, I'm just talking, you see you are eager to protect the calf."

Yu Fan remained indifferent to the choice of raising his hand this time.

Zuo Zi slightly tilted his head and asked Yu Fan: "Young man with glasses, you didn't raise your hand for three votes. Why?"

Yu Fan said gently: "I was thinking, is there only two answers to this question, I think maybe I can change it a little bit, if I jump off the platform myself, can I save the five people on the railroad tracks?" .”

Hearing this answer, Zuo Zi laughed heartily and began to clap his hands...

Chen Xiangyang patted Yu Fan's thigh, and joked: "Old Yu, I just like to play with classmates like you who come forward to sell."

Guo Na looked sideways slightly, staring at Yu Fan with a distressed and worried face, with an indescribable feeling in his heart and mixed feelings.Brother Yu, if there is such a day, will you just leave me alone?

Zuo Zi laughed a few times, and said: "Children with glasses, your answer is very creative, but you must know that this third option may not exist in reality! And you are not married yet, wait until you and the woman next to you After your classmate gets married, you have a family and a child, can you still say that you will die? Who will take care of your wife after you die? Your child will never have a father. Your parents have white hair and others give black hair Man, can you imagine these scenarios? Is your seemingly noble choice really that noble?"

Yu Fan fell silent. Under Zuo Zircon's description, this scene of parting from life and death and heartbroken relatives emerged in his mind.Yu Fan also looked at Guo Na, Guo Na's charming eyes seemed to beg Yu Fan not to do this, not to sacrifice himself.Yu Fan's heart was melted, he subconsciously wanted to reach out and hold Guo Na's hand, telling Guo Na not to worry.But he suddenly remembered that his boyfriend's identity was fake, and he couldn't "cross the line" in his behavior.

Zuo Zi got up, patted Yu Fan on the shoulder, and said: "Young man, you are still young, and you have not experienced many things. This world is far more cruel than you imagined. There is no choice of the best of both worlds in the world. Human wisdom Nor can you make up for those moral loopholes. Moreover, the more you know, the more troubles you will have, and the more hesitant your choices will be. Imagine if you didn't even know that sacrificing a person could If you save five people, then your troubles will naturally disappear."

Zuo Zi opened the door of the box, picked up his briefcase from the top bunk, and was about to go to the bathroom. After going out, Chen Xiangyang quietly followed behind and also went out.

Seeing Yu Fan who was bowing his head in thought and frowning tightly, Guo Na felt distressed, and comforted him with a smile: "Brother Yu, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Feeling very warm, Yu Fan raised his eyebrows, regained his sunny demeanor, and said affectionately to Guo Na: "Don't worry, I'm fine. No matter what time it is, I won't make a choice to hurt you."
