original title: is the entrance education "too rough"? let the teenagers know earlier that there are more flowers than flowers in the ivory tower

"first, you have to strive for success. second, you have to grow up. third, you have to learn. you are not here to just hang out... and you are not here just to date, have sex, lie down, or mess around."

“don’t think that a loser can’t become a master. as long as you work hard and put your heart into it, an uncle can also have a bright future.”

"boys don't buy, girls don't sell, in the same period of time, be faithful to one person, try to be normal, don't be abnormal."

"are you ready for sex as a college student?"

……

this was the content of the yunnan normal university freshman entrance ceremony. because the content was very different from the traditional opening ceremony of the principal and teachers' remembrance and encouragement, it caused a heated discussion on the internet. some netizens said that "the words are rough, but the truth is not rough, but the words are too rough", while others felt that there was nothing wrong with such straightforward education, and it was even more educationally realistic.

admittedly, words like "sex", "date", "don't be perverted", "don't buy, don't sell" do seem a bit explicit and even vulgar, and they are out of place in a solemn occasion like the opening ceremony. but as a senior student, i think back to my college life and my classmates, and i have been confused and even a little absurd in both life and relationships. looking back at the beginning from the end of college, if i could have learned such a lesson at the beginning of college, would these four years be different?

we often describe universities as "ivory towers". universities have this quality to a certain extent. they provide students with a relatively closed and simple learning environment, allowing them to focus on their academic studies and personal growth without having to face the complexity and pressure of society too early.

however, university is not only a place to pursue academic ideals, but also a place that is closely connected with society and helps students complete their socialization. it can be said that the ivory tower of the university is full of flowers, but at the same time there are thorns and wind and rain in the ivory tower.

without the dogma of junior high and high school, in the relatively free and open university environment, many students are full of curiosity about anything new, looking forward to a relationship, a drink and a night out, an act that is not allowed by their parents... often, behind these first times are hurts and confusions. in this regard, such a "rough but true" first lesson of the new semester should be necessary.

i once saw a passage on the internet: our country lacks three kinds of education: sex education, love education, and death education. these three kinds of education correspond to: physical integrity, spiritual abundance, and the value of life. from childhood to adulthood, no one would discuss these topics with me. everyone thinks it is shameful, ugly, dirty, and negative.

these contents at the opening ceremony of yunnan normal university are exactly the "sex education" and "love education" that we have long lacked and considered to be vulgar and explicit. in fact, this is not shameful or dirty. although its effect may not be directly effective, it has planted a seed in the hearts of students. when the future is painful and confused due to various difficulties, this seed may bloom into a beautiful flower.

the flowers in the ivory tower are still beautiful, but after experiencing the baptism of thorns and wind and rain, they will definitely be brighter and more vivid.
