Chapter 1811

"Outstanding!"

The expression on Zhou Andong's face became serious: "The dictionary definition is—having outstanding talent and achievements. When I use the word 'outstanding' to measure myself, my heart is uneasy."

Because compared to the other winners, what I have done is truly insignificant. Take Teacher Liu Shijuan, for example; she has persisted in the ordinary, and in that persistence, she has become extraordinary. For the sake of the children in the mountains, she has stayed in the mountains for fifteen years.

Her work is very ordinary, but she has built an extraordinary life with an ordinary career, step by step. The great love in her heart encompasses heaven and earth, allowing all things to bloom.

With love in the heart, the world is heaven. A thread of tenderness, a thread of willow, in the biting spring cold, still contains the warm current of spring; even in the snowy winter, there are red plum blossoms blooming.

Teacher Liu Shijuan, she is the winter sunshine, the plum blossom on the white snow. She has allowed the children in the impoverished mountains to have light in their hearts, color in their eyes, and the scent of flowers in their noses.

The great love hidden in her heart has made her life incredibly wonderful, and she is the most beautiful teacher in China..."

"Wow!"

Applause broke out instantly; no one expected Zhou Andong to praise this female teacher so highly, not sparing his words, praising her to the limit.

However, everyone thought about it again, and actually, this wasn't surprising. Zhou Andong values education, which is well-known, and he doesn't just talk about it; he has always been taking action. Donating and building Hope Primary Schools, that's real money being invested.

Liu Shijuan's face was a bit red, and her eyes were a bit red too. Her face was red because she was praised by Zhou Andong, feeling a bit embarrassed. Her eyes were red because she was moved; Zhou Andong actually recognized her so much.

Jiang Minghua said with great emotion: "Zhou Andong's speeches are always so infectious, allowing everyone to resonate."

The leader beside him said: "This is the reason why students like him."

Kong Xingzhong's face became even uglier; the more Zhou Andong showed off, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Why is a mud-legged fellow who is a kept man so popular and sought after?

These Peking University students actually go to pursue a mud-legged fellow who started by being a kept man.

This shows that these so-called proud sons of heaven are nothing more than this, and it also shows that Peking University's ideological education is unbearable.

He made up his mind: Zhongbao would never recruit Peking University students.

"Teacher Liu Shijuan's great love and selflessness, I admit, I can't do it, so I respect her very much."

The applause gradually subsided, and Zhou Andong held the microphone.

"Although I have high aspirations, I can't talk about having outstanding talent and extraordinary achievements. I am just using diligent steps to strive for excellence and perfection."

For life, I am full of passion to feel; for work, I am full of passion to participate; for friends, I am full of love to care.

Regardless of whether I am ordinary or extraordinary, I just hope to make others feel happy because of my existence. When I stand on this stage and pick up the trophy..."

Zhou Andong raised the trophy in his hand: "I dare not assert whether I am open-minded, but I have already turned that trace of unease into calmness. At this moment, the only thing surging in my heart is gratitude. To have such a wonderful opportunity to make youth dazzling, and to be able to collect the smiles and encouragement given to me by the leaders and friends present, is the greatest fortune!"

"Wow!"

Applause broke out again, more enthusiastic than the previous times.

"Let the fire of youth burn eternally, let the lightning of life streak across the sky, use all passion to exchange for time, let the dreams of youth have no end.

The cicadas of June will soon chirp, and the aspirations of the youth can be expected. Peking University students are about to welcome the graduation season, step into society, and start the journey of life.

The mountains are long and the waters are far; how to overcome challenges when facing them? Wandering at the crossroads, how to be loyal to the original intention? Not failing youth, how to shoulder the great responsibility of the country?

Under the starry sky, between the mountains and seas, walk towards the light and rush to the expedition. May Peking University students bravely rush to the mountains and seas; even if the road ahead is long and the journey is far, may you be smooth sailing and forge ahead, thank you!"

Zhou Andong returned to his seat, and the applause showed no signs of weakening.

The fellow townsman beside him didn't hide the envy in his eyes.

"Chairman Zhou, I have never admired anyone, you are the only one."

After speaking, this guy gave a thumbs up.

Liu Shijuan said with a choked voice: "Chairman Zhou, thank you."

Zhou Andong smiled at his fellow townsman, turned his head to look at Liu Shijuan: "What I said were all sincere words, nothing to thank me for. If you have any difficulties there, you can come to me at any time."

Liu Shijuan froze, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything, just nodded.

She could feel that these words weren't perfunctory, because she saw sincerity in Zhou Andong's eyes.

Listening to the enthusiastic applause, Jian Qiu's face was glowing, her hands stroking her bulging belly, murmuring to herself.

"Baby, did you hear the applause? This is for your father; isn't he very powerful? When you grow up, you must also be like your father, standing in the center of the stage, attracting the world's attention..."

The host walked onto the stage, and Sister Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Tonight we are holding a grand awards ceremony to commend ten outstanding youths for their outstanding performance and excellent talents.

This contains their love for the motherland and their sense of responsibility to the people, and also demonstrates the vitality and creativity of a generation of youth."

Cheng Qian continued: "In the historical process of advancing the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, each of us bears the mission entrusted by the era.

The fighting spirit and struggle spirit displayed by contemporary youth are an important part of the Chinese spirit and Chinese power."

Sister Xiaoqing said: "The award recipients are the best of the best in this selection, and their spirit of responsibility and fighting posture are the best footnotes of the era.

Today, we want to pay high tribute to them, congratulate them on winning the honor of the National Ten Outstanding Youth, and hope that in the days to come, they will advance with the times, unite and struggle, innovate and practice, and continue to strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."

When it came to striving for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, many people looked at Zhou Andong, because this sentence was the first one he shouted.

This sentence is truly powerful, very inspiring, and has become a common official term, even appearing in some important red-headed documents.

The awards gala ended, and then there was a banquet, but Zhou Andong didn't attend, but went directly to Future Culture.

Some people who wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Zhou Andong were very disappointed not to see Zhou Andong at the banquet venue.

"Big brother, sister-in-law!" Old Four shouted happily.

Zhou Andong asked: "How does it feel?"

Old Four raised her head proudly: "Brother Dou praised me, saying that I sing very well and have talent."
