Chapter 78: A Fierce Lesson

  Han Yu was sitting on the desk of the podium, and they were talking about the current educational situation with great enthusiasm. Han Yu frowned and gave him a cold glance. If Cardinan were a genuine foreigner, he might have been able to make his attitude better. But with his yellow skin and black eyes, he looked like a Z-country person no matter how you looked at him.

  A person from Country Z, you ran back to your own country and still speak a foreign language, what are you pretending to be? Without even hitting him, Han Yu felt he was very restrained.

  Dikou took a deep breath and awkwardly said in stiff Chinese, "I grew up in the US since I was little, so my Mandarin isn't very good, therefore..."

  "Even if it's said poorly, it's still better than that bird brain's language!" Han Yu bluntly interrupted him, turned his gaze, and stretched out his hand to greet the remaining three people in fluent English with courtesy. Anyway, we can't let these juniors see that our country of etiquette is not up to par, right?

  Then Han Yu said faintly: "Tell them, I know you're here to attend class, but my classroom is already full. If you don't mind, just stand in the back."

  The eyes of three foreigners blinked, and Dyakov's eyes widened in surprise: "You mean we should stand up?"

  "Are you suggesting that my students stand while you sit?" Han Yu smiled very gently and sat back on the podium without hesitation. Dyakov looked at him for a moment, then turned to his three companions and gestured, saying something in a low voice.

  Those three people said a few dissatisfied words, but in the end they still came to the back. Four big men stood at the back like this. Han Yu, however, continued to sit calmly on his desk, continuing to destroy people tirelessly!

  "Let's just ignore them and pretend they don't exist. Let's continue our conversation! I've seen many exam papers, even when I was in school, we had to memorize large passages of text. Like 'Guilin Scenery', 'The Back View' and so on. What's the point of this? What's the use of memorizing other people's texts by rote?"

  "The most ridiculous thing is that there was a question like this! The composition "Hurry" was written by the famous modern writer Mr. Zhu Ziqing, and all of you classmates liked it very much. Can you write down the sentence that left the deepest impression on you?"

  "That child wrote: My days drip in the flow of time, without sound or shadow! He only knew because he didn't want to lose to others."

  "Let me analyze it!" Wang Shuai said as he was about to stand up, Han Yu smiled slightly and said: "No need to get up, just say it while sitting there!"

  Sitting down to answer questions? This made Wang Shuai somewhat unexpected, and slightly excited. He pushed his black-framed glasses up the bridge of his nose, and quickly and carefully organized all the knowledge he had in his mind before answering slowly: "If this Mongolian leader hadn't died back then, the Black Death wouldn't have been brought to Europe. Although people nowadays know that the so-called 'Black Death' is just the plague caused by fleas on rats, but over 600 years ago when the Black Death was rampant in Europe, no one knew that!"

  Wang Shuai was still seeing that period of history with his own eyes for the first time, and for a moment he seemed to have found a channel for the river, continuing along the already opened mouth: "If there hadn't been the Black Death, the priest and nun wouldn't have died. If the priest and nun hadn't died, they wouldn't have doubted the existence of God. If they hadn't doubted the existence of God, there wouldn't have been the Renaissance in Florence, Italy."

  "If there was no Renaissance, Spain and Southern Europe would not have become powerful, and the Spanish Invincible Armada could not have been established. If Spain and Italy were not strong enough, the Anglo-Saxons would have risen to power 200 years earlier, Germany would have controlled Central Europe, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire would not have existed. Then the entire modern history might have completely changed..."

  He was probably intimidated by his own assumptions, Wang Shuai's voice gradually became a little low, and his eyes also became less confident.

  Han Yu smiled and said: "What's wrong? Were you scared by that little butterfly you found yourself?"

  "Am I right in my analysis?" Wang Shuai asked softly.

  "This issue is not about right or wrong, but whether you've done it. Because as you just said, there are countless 'what ifs', and if one cause-and-effect doesn't match up, the world would be completely different! You all go online and look, do you know why there are so many popular time-travel stories? It's because they give people a completely different history!"

  "Such a topic is that there is no standard answer, its role is only to prompt you to think with your own eyes!"

  "According to our judgment, this war may break out between 2015 and 2020. Therefore, we must now prepare for a large-scale war with Country Z."

  The surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of Han Yu's voice echoing around: "This is not a personal judgment, but the judgment of most Japanese students. They almost all think that the friction between Z country and Japan will start from the East China Sea, from the Taiwan Strait, and the time judgment is between 2015 and 2020."

  "Now, do you still think war is far away? You are high school students, and they are also high school students. In a decade or two, this world will be yours, and this nation and country will also be yours. But your competitors have sharpened their claws and are looking at you with a bloody and mocking gaze!"

  "They would have you believe that war will never come, so they can easily slit your throat, steal your money and rape your women!"

  "Maybe some of you will think, if a real war breaks out, we can just escape, isn't it a global village now? Can't find any country to stay in? As long as you have skills, you can still make a living!"

  "Whoever has such an idea, I advise you to hurry up and open the window to jump out of here, so as not to waste food! If the skin is gone, where can the hair attach? The country is lost, where is the home? Even if you can escape with a dog's life, you are still a wandering spirit without roots or foundation. A lonely ghost living without a nation and ethnicity will be more painful than death!"

  "Everyone, forget about war and you will be in danger, forget about war and you will perish! Don't want to be bitten to death like a beast, from now on, work hard! You are not doing it for your parents, not for the country, not for the people, but for yourself! So that you don't have to live like a dog, so that you don't become a rotten piece of flesh!"

  Han Yu turned around and wrote on the blackboard: "Forget war, danger; forget war, death." Eight big characters ended his first and only passionate lecture in his life...

  If it's okay, encourage me a bit, and I'll start paying back tomorrow...
