Chapter 122 The Eight-Character Poisonous Oath of Tsinghua and Peking Universities
She may be infertile, but she will have many children and grandchildren.
At the scene, many teachers and students pondered for a long time before they suddenly realized what kind of solemn oath the great writer Yu was making.
Good heavens, this is absolutely vicious!
In this day and age, the most common belief among Chinese people is undoubtedly the leisurely life of "wife, children, and a warm bed".
Even among university and college faculty and students.
The continuation of the Chinese bloodline, the passing down of family lineage, and the desire to build a scholarly family through one's own efforts—such allure makes it an absolute must-do major event in the first priority of one's life's struggles.
After all, what's the point of living anyway?!
Ordinary people like you and me, beyond basic needs like food and clothing, wanting to continue the family line and contribute to our ideals, who doesn't want the happiest and most fulfilling family life?
However, this wish that you are infertile but have many children and grandchildren is just too hurtful.
Li Ximing was immediately put in his place by those words.
How could such a solemn oath be so easily made in public?
To put it bluntly, if you really want to study in the US, you'll have the opportunity to stay overseas and develop long-term, directly enjoying the wonderful life of the developed Western world. You can achieve that in one step and live a carefree life through your own abilities. But you're making me swear a solemn oath that whoever refuses to return in the future will be infertile and have a house full of children and grandchildren.
Bastard!!
Won't all the children I raise in the future become bastards?!
Toil your whole life, only to raise a bunch of bastards?!
You bastard! Writers are all filthy-hearted.
"I, Yu Zhen, solemnly swear here before the teachers and students present that if I go to the United States for an interview and have the opportunity to stay abroad, I will never return to China. May I, Yu Zhen, be infertile for the rest of my life and have many children and grandchildren."
Alright, Li Ximing, I've already sworn a solemn oath in public. Now it's your turn!
Li Ximing, please swear a solemn oath!
Yu Zhen gave the other party no chance whatsoever. After making a solemn oath on the spot, he focused his firepower on Li Ximing.
At the same time, he is also prepared to strike while the iron is hot and suggest to Tsinghua and Peking Universities that in the future, all outstanding students who are selected for government-sponsored overseas study programs should publicly make such a vow at a public ceremony led by the university.
As for those so-called vows to return after completing their studies and to serve their country, such empty and grandiose words have no real power.
Replace them all with this eight-character oath.
After struggling for a long time, Li Ximing finally couldn't withstand the pressure of being surrounded and watched by thousands of teachers and students. His voice trembled, and he finally shouted out the oath of the century in front of everyone: "If I go abroad to study and don't return, may I, Li Ximing, be infertile and have many children and grandchildren."
Splash splash splash————
There was thunderous applause.
Now, the teachers and students who had come to watch the spectacle were completely satisfied.
Undeterred by the potential for trouble, Yu Zhen seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot, offering the school a heartfelt suggestion in public: to include this eight-character oath in the mandatory declaration process for all government-sponsored students going abroad in the future.
"No need for you to thank me—"
"This oath is clearly only effective against the treacherous Sima, who is two-faced. I believe that someone who is good enough to qualify for a government-sponsored study abroad program would not be so mentally drained by such a statement."
"Therefore, I strongly suggest that our school administration simply include this solemn oath in the school discipline manual!"
"It's not easy for the country to cultivate an outstanding college student, especially one who has the opportunity to study abroad on a government scholarship. If you can't even pass a solemn oath or a soul-searching test, then I won't say anything else."
"Alright, I'm sure today's events will be reported in the newspapers soon—"
"Furthermore, there's a high probability that after I return from studying abroad, I'll write one or two non-science fiction novels, and I'll just use my experiences studying abroad as a basis for the stories!"
"For outstanding students like Li Ximing, I will give special attention to their specific portrayals in my stories, presenting an absolutely authentic and comprehensive picture of their experiences studying abroad—no exaggeration or bias."
Why mess with anyone?
They had to find a way to provoke a writer.
Moreover, he was a writer with immense influence but a very narrow mind.
Li Ximing became famous.
The entire faculty and students of Tsinghua and Peking Universities are now marking this in their notebooks, wishing this grandson would be infertile but destined to have a house full of children and grandchildren.
You are gleeful when the group plots to harm others.
Now, suddenly defeated in a desperate counterattack, they are even publicly branded with the poisonous oath of "infertility, but with many children and grandchildren."
Goodness, I can't believe it. After today's events are exposed in the newspapers, Tsinghua and Peking Universities, the top universities in China, will be inextricably linked to such a solemn oath.
This is so frustrating!
Sure enough, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.
They didn't even have to wait for the next day's newspapers to make their point.
Later that day, the power of the oath from Tsinghua and Peking Universities had already swept through the streets and alleys of Beijing like a whirlwind.
These days, the group of students who can go to university is still a small minority. University students are seen as extremely high-achieving, promising, and talented individuals by ordinary people.
But now, out of the blue, there's this topic that provides an opportunity to attack college students.
Hey!
People from Beijing love to gossip.
Even when there's nothing wrong, they can still stir up some trouble.
Moreover, this wave of attacks was orchestrated by the renowned science fiction writer Yu Zhen in a public setting on the campuses of Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
Needless to say, there are many who seize the opportunity to create momentum and stir up trouble.
Suddenly, the idea that college students must publicly swear a solemn oath before being sent abroad for study gained widespread acceptance, and surprisingly, it became an increasingly popular and well-received suggestion among ordinary people.
Among the institutions of Tsinghua and Peking Universities, those most severely affected in this wave of events are undoubtedly the most impacted.
How could such a solemn oath be formally included in the school's rules and regulations, let alone be formally used to restrain those outstanding students who are sent abroad on government scholarships?
The problem is, nobody cares whether the school is willing or not; there's a huge public outcry!
"What exactly is going on at Tsinghua and Peking Universities? If even the great writer Yu can publicly accept such a solemn oath, why can't those students about to go abroad make such a solemn oath in public?!"
"Exactly, that's right. If someone doesn't even dare to swear such a solemn oath, it means they have a guilty conscience. If they don't plan to come back after going abroad, why should the country give such a person the opportunity to go abroad?"
"It is recommended that relevant departments promote the eight-character oath of solemn oath in universities nationwide —"
"That's right, that's right. University students are elite talents cultivated at the cost of a huge amount of national wealth. There's no reason why they can be easily defeated with a single solemn oath. Anyone who refuses to make such an oath is not qualified to be sent abroad on a government scholarship."
"That's right! That's exactly how it should be—"
