The whole auditorium was silent, and only Lynch's voice echoed.
"Before me, our teacher representatives and the representatives of the students who are about to graduate have made speeches. They have passed on to us what they have experienced, their accumulated experience and what they have seen and heard on the road of life."
"I thank these teachers and old students for their help, so I'll say something different, such as youth."
"You see, I don't have a speech!" he waved his hands again and scratched back and forth on the table of the podium. There was no paper flying out, which also proved that he didn't lie.
He put his hands on the edges of both sides of the podium and slightly tilted his head. "In fact, one second before I stood here, I didn't know what I wanted to say when I stood up from the seat over there..." he didn't look and pointed to his seat with feeling.
"But when I stood here and looked at our hostess...", he smiled and looked at the hostess who was about to cry. "I said her three times in such a short meeting. Am I bullying her?"
There was more light laughter in the auditorium, and the atmosphere changed from serious to cheerful. He waved, "well, I didn't bully her, but I had to mention her because she was reminding me that I should bring my speech."
"Students, since when did we get used to such a..." he frowned, raised his hand and nodded his forehead, "... 'norm', and was bound by this' norm '?"
"The elders always tell us' you should do this, child ',' you should do that, child '..." with their rich life experience, he added a raised tone at the end of the word "child", which made this originally very common word a little strange, like a little funny.
"We are always warned by other people's life experience, other people's social experience and other people's waste of time, so that someone has to remind me that I need a speech..."
"If we keep following these things, what about our own life?"
"Will it also become another kind of life we don't want, other people's life, under this kind of persuasion and regulation?"
"Maybe this kind of life is not wrong, students, because this kind of life is the most correct way that others have explored for us with their years. However, please think about a question. Is this the life we want?"
His voice became full of sharp momentum and was tearing something apart. "The norms we get from others restrict our life, not the life we want. Maybe we will think it's actually good in the future, but at least not now."
"This is what I want to talk to you about today, youth!"
"Youth is not only a name for our age, but also an attitude towards life!"
"Try, risk, get hurt, fly, be presumptuous, tenaciously face our unknown and strange life path, wave our fists, break all the obstacles blocking our way to happiness, and forge ahead all the way in life!"
"This is the attitude we young people should have. This is the attitude of youth!"
He waved his fist hard and said a few words almost at one go, which made people feel like suffocation, but also feel happy.
His voice slowed down a little, "maybe... We will get hurt. Maybe the pain we bear is what those elders have experienced. They warned us before that we can avoid the pain."
"But it doesn't matter. Students, don't be afraid of pain. It is precisely because we personally taste the pain of scars that we will remember it and be proud that we have crossed the pain and scars!"
"This is the life we want, this is our own life!"
"Free youth should not be controlled by others..."
Compared with the rigid speeches of the first two speakers, Lynch's speeches were full of a very special thing, rebellious, capricious, or presumptuous. He directly and implicitly attacked the speeches of the first two speakers.
All their encouragement, supervision and warning have become the "norms" that interfere with other people's lives, which has just aroused the recognition and resonance of the students.
In fact, the vast majority of people here have similar lives. Others only see their carefree food and clothing since they were born, but they can't see the cold pallor behind them.
From the day they were sensible, they were more like a dog than a person.
Their parents will punish them for "you shouldn't do this" and reward them for complying with their parents' requirements and doing what they "should" do.
Their life is like a well-trained dog student. They have a mechanical response. What they can do and what they can't do have long been stipulated. They don't need to know why some things can be done and some things can't be done. This is the first lesson the world has taught them.
They are not qualified to explore the world. Although they are richer than their peers who envy them outside the wall, they are not free.
Norms are like ropes that bind them tightly so that they can't breathe. Even when to go to school and which school to go to are arranged life.
They may have heard the most words, that is, "all this is for you", rather than "I respect your choice".
A group of poor people, poor people without youth.
However, it is precisely this group of people who resonate with Lynch's impromptu speech. They also yearn for freedom, real and wanton youth - those children outside the wall can wantonly enjoy a quarter of their life's youth.
They may not be rich, but their spirit is free!
When he returned to his seat, the people around him were praising him. Even the teacher representatives and graduation age representatives who were hinted by him that they wanted to "standardize" the freshman life also spoke highly of his speech.
Lynch dealt with them warmly and politely. He didn't ignore anyone. Everything was so perfect.
Congressman's speech is very short. After all, a big man of this level can't talk at length here. When his last word falls and picks up his speech, the students applaud warmly.
At this moment, the orientation meeting is almost over, and the rest is some trivial work.
Surprisingly, members of Congress also specially came to Lynch and shook hands with him. "Mr. Lynch, I didn't expect to see you here. You are..." he looked at Lynch's school uniform curiously.
Lynch did not hide, "I just reported, freshman."
The congressman soon understood that after all, he was also a member of the holy peace church. "Your choice is very wise. This is a good school." he took out his business card and handed it to Lynch. "I don't bother you. You can contact me when you have time. We can talk."
Then they shook hands and the congressman hurried away.
Looking at his back as he left, Lynch glanced at the business card in his hand. It was a member of the house of Representatives, but he hung the titles of two committee members. It should have something to do with some business things, which may be useful in the future.
He put away his business card. At this time, Anna came over. She knew to give Lynch some space.
"You just told me that the core of your speech is' ideal ', but now it has become' youth '." the girl is a little angry and makes people's scalp numb.
Lynch blinked, "I said that every second you see me, I am a new me, so what I say does not depend on what I want to say before, but on what I want to say at the second when things happen."
"Well... Complicated." Anna held her forehead. "I always think you're perfunctory."
"Perfunctory?"
"How is that possible?!"
He smiled. Of course, he was perfunctory. Anna's attitude towards him changed too quickly, not to mention 90 degrees, 180 degrees. He was a little vigilant. Who knows what the girl is going to do.
But no matter what she wants to do, there is absolutely no problem in doing a good job of preparedness.
"What do you think of what I said?" Lynch asked a very common question. In fact, he didn't care much.
Yes, what he said before was not what he wanted to say at this second, but it seemed more appropriate to say those topics at that time.
In fact, these words will not last long except for some excitement at the beginning. If some of the people here have tried to resist and succeeded, they can't be here..
Freedom, or presumptuousness, is an unreachable dream for most people here. When they wake up, reality will return.
They dare not really face an uncertain life, because everything they have now is based on wealth.
If they lose these, they will become nothing. At that time, don't say "happiness due to freedom". They don't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
So after the excitement, how to live or how to live, but this does not mean that Lynch's words are useless. In fact, these words are very encouraging for people who have been free.
For example, those who can't afford to go to school, young people who start working as soon as they graduate from high school, for example, students in ordinary universities, freedom must be more valuable than "norms", and this is also the mainstream idea of the Federation. Freedom is better than life.
Those... People at the lower and middle levels of society desperately strive for freedom, while Lynch and these people here are still on the road of "standardization".
Anna obviously knew this too. When every word jumped out of Lynch's mouth, she could feel an exciting force filling her body, but she thought about it again after saying... Tut.
"Great!" the girl praised insincerely.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

"I thank these teachers and old students for their help, so I'll say something different, such as youth."
"You see, I don't have a speech!" he waved his hands again and scratched back and forth on the table of the podium. There was no paper flying out, which also proved that he didn't lie.
