Chapter 3568

This summer vacation, every weekend, Su Xinghui would take Niuniu out for a turn. They turned to many and miscellaneous places, including libraries, enterprises, construction sites, marketplaces, villages, and even went to the welfare homes in the townships below the county to see the elderly.

Anyway, Su Xinghui drives himself, which is quite convenient.

Su Xinghui's purpose of taking Niuniu to these places is to let Niuniu understand more about the world. Niuniu's learning has no problems at all. Su Xinghui is not worried, but he has high expectations for Niuniu's future. He hopes that Niuniu will have greater achievements, so he does not hope that Niuniu will become a bookworm.

Of course, Niuniu cannot become a bookworm. Not to mention that he follows Su Xinghui to learn boxing, he is not the kind of person who is not diligent in his limbs. Just say that when Professor Yang teaches Niuniu, he does not let him memorize books by rote. Professor Yang will tell Niuniu some social phenomena in today's society and let Niuniu verify these social phenomena with the knowledge in books.

Professor Yang's teaching method is of course very good, and Su Xinghui is also very grateful to Professor Yang. However, Professor Yang cannot take Niuniu to see everywhere. Those social phenomena are still only in Niuniu's impression, and there is no intuitive and three-dimensional feeling.

Therefore, Su Xinghui is making up for this lesson for Niuniu.

Sometimes, Su Xinghui will take Niuniu to the Hanhai Technology Research Institute to see the work of those scientific researchers. He will tell Niuniu that in this research institute, there is the most cutting-edge technology in the world, and the Hanhai mobile phones and tablet computers he likes to play with were all researched here.

Niuniu is very interested in the work here. He has always heard that China's technology is relatively backward compared to developed countries like the United States, but at the Hanhai Technology Research Institute, they have researched mobile phone technology that is even more advanced than the United States, which makes him feel very proud. He also understands the role of technology and attaches more and more importance to technological research and development.

Su Xinghui also took Niuniu to some construction sites, watching those huge construction machines working, watching those construction workers wearing safety helmets working, and watching how one skyscraper after another grew taller day by day under their hands.

In the countryside, Niuniu looked at the farmers who were bending over and working on those lands under the scorching sun in July. Although they wore straw hats, they still could not block the scorching sun. They were tanned black all over, sweating like rain, but still silently swinging hoes and working.

In the marketplace, those peddlers and those who pull carts and sell pulp, for some meager remuneration, have to argue with others, and their saliva is dry.

These lives are rarely contacted by Niuniu, which gave Niuniu a very big shock. He seems to have grown up overnight. He now understands the true meaning of "who knows the food on the plate, every grain is hard work." He knows what the real world is like.

The real world is not all like their family, living in abundance, not worrying about food, being able to turn on the air conditioner when it is hot, and being able to go to restaurants at any time to improve their lives. More people are like these construction workers, farmers, and peddlers, struggling to survive.

On this day, Su Xinghui took Niuniu to a welfare home in a township in Yinshan County. There, they visited the elderly in the welfare home. They brought a lot of things, all of which were some food. For the elderly in the welfare home, the most practical things for them are such things.

These elderly people are very old, and some are disabled, basically having no ability to take care of themselves. Seeing Su Xinghui and his son visiting them with those foods, they were all very moved and kept saying "thank you" to them.

Su Xinghui and Niuniu also accompanied them for more than an hour, chatting with them. The elderly were all very grateful. They said they were very satisfied with their current life. They can have such a life now, all thanks to the Communist Party and the government's good policies.

Some elderly people also mentioned Su Xinghui's name. They said it was the good policy given by Mayor Su in the city that gave them a good life now.

Su Xinghui did not tell them that he was Su Xinghui when he came this time. The staff of the welfare home on the side wanted to tell those elderly people that the one in front of them was Mayor Su, but Su Xinghui waved his hand at her with a smile, telling her not to say it, so she could only want to say it but stop.

Coming out of the welfare home and getting into the car, Niuniu said to Su Xinghui: "Dad, you are really amazing!"

Su Xinghui said: "How am I amazing?"

Niuniu said: "You have governed Baozhou so well, and you also take such good care of these elderly people. The Great Harmony of the World mentioned in ancient books is nothing more than this, right?"

Su Xinghui said: "When the Great Way is practiced, the world is for the public, selecting the virtuous and the capable, speaking of trust and cultivating harmony. Therefore, people do not only treat their own relatives as relatives, and do not only treat their own children as children. Let the elderly have an end, the strong have a use, the young have a growth, and the widowers, widows, orphans, childless, disabled, and sick all have support; men have their share, women have their return, goods are hated to be abandoned on the ground and do not have to be hidden for themselves, and strength is hated not to come out of their own bodies and do not have to be for themselves. Therefore, conspiracies are closed and do not arise, and theft, chaos, and thieves do not occur. Therefore, the outer doors are not closed, which is called the 'Great Harmony' society."

This paragraph Su Xinghui recited comes from the "Great Harmony Chapter" of "Book of Rites? Liyun", usually referred to as "Liyun Great Harmony Chapter", which is also the origin of "Great Harmony of the World" mentioned by Niuniu.

The general meaning of this paragraph is that the practice of the Great Way is that the world is for the public, selecting the virtuous and the capable, seeking trust, and pursuing harmony. People do not only support their own parents, do not only raise their own children, must let the elderly end their natural years, the middle-aged can contribute to society, the young children can grow up smoothly, and the old without wives, old without husbands, children who lost their fathers in childhood, old without children, and disabled people can all get support.

People hate the phenomenon of goods being abandoned on the ground, want to store them, but not for their own enjoyment; also hate the behavior of not trying their best in joint labor, always not working for private interests. In this way, no one will engage in conspiracies, no one will steal property and start wars and chaos, and every household does not need to close the big door, which is called the "Great Harmony" society.

The first part of the Great Harmony society described in this paragraph is similar to the current Baozhou. However, the latter part cannot be achieved under the current conditions, or more accurately, it may never be achieved in any civilized society, because people are selfish, and countries are also selfish, and it is impossible to abandon their own private interests to achieve the Great Harmony society.

Niuniu of course also recited this paragraph and understood what it meant. He also felt that the current Baozhou is relatively similar to the first part of this paragraph, so he would say that sentence just now, thinking that the Great Harmony of the World mentioned in ancient books is nothing more than this.

Su Xinghui said: "Niuniu, the current Baozhou is relatively similar to the Great Harmony society described in ancient books. However, the latter part is very difficult to achieve under the current conditions, and it may even never be achieved, because people are selfish, and countries are also selfish, and it is impossible to abandon their own private interests to achieve the Great Harmony society."

Niuniu nodded and said: "I know, but after I grow up, I will work hard to achieve such a Great Harmony society."
