Money is a proof of ability. I am accused of measuring life with money

Recently, Yu Minhong, chairman of New Oriental Education and technology group, was pushed to the forefront of public opinion again. On September 19, Yu Minhong said at the summary and sharing meeting of the 2018 visit to the "star of self-improvement of Chinese college students" that "money is a proof of personal ability. When your salary is half less than that of your classmates, your life has been wasted", which is interpreted as that less salary is a waste of life.

However, the reporter noted that the interpretation was taken out of context. Yu Minhong said before and after the speech that he never denied the importance of money. The amount of money has an important relationship with the tension of life. At the same time, money and social status are only superficial phenomena, and more importantly, the internal richness of life. " I can live without money all my life, but I live a life with more connotation. "

Accused of measuring life with money

Yu Minhong said in his speech, 'money is a proof of personal ability. When you graduate from college, when your classmates get 5000 yuan a month, you can only get a salary of 251 months, which shows that half of your life has been wasted. " It takes the same time. Everyone has only 24 hours a day. Why do some people keep accumulating 24 hours to make life a more free state, while some people have to think about which bowl of rice they want to buy, cheap or expensive? "

This theory is interpreted as' less pay is a waste of life 'and accused of selling anxiety. Some netizens believe that Yu Minhong generalizes, and money is not worthy of measuring life.

The speech is suspected of being taken out of context

On the evening of September 26th, Yu Minhong's personal WeChat official account Lao Yu chat released a speech. In the video, Yu Minhong said that people pursue two things in their life, one is external money and social status. " I never deny the importance of money. The amount of money has an important relationship with the tension of your life. When you see your favorite Lanzhou ramen and weigh the money in your pocket, I think this kind of life is more tragic. But when you have money, it's meaningless for you to waste it. "

At the same time, Yu Minhong also said in his subsequent speech that money and social status are only superficial phenomena, and the more important pursuit of life is the inherent richness of life, 'I can live without money all my life, but I live a life with richer connotation.'

Yu Minhong said that inner richness means that you feel that what you are doing is super meaningful and slowly becomes your achievement in the process. This achievement is recognized by the people around you, the country and the world. At this time, even if you don't have money, you will feel very rich inside. " Of course, it is best to combine external glory with internal richness through our pursuit. "

However, the reporter also noted that in the text record after the video released by "Lao Yu's idle words", it does say that "money can be converted into life", but what it said in the video is that "money is a proof of personal ability".

He has been denounced for "running the train" many times

In fact, Yu Minhong's "running the train" in his speech has been pushed to the forefront of public opinion many times.

In November 2018, Yu Minhong explained the argument that the direction of measurement and evaluation determines the direction of education at the learning ability conference, using the female mate selection standard as an example.

At that time, he said, 'if all girls say that Chinese men want him to make money, as for whether his conscience is good or not, all Chinese men will become men with bad conscience but make a lot of money. This is the standard for modern Chinese girls to choose men. So in fact, whether a country is good or not, we often say that in women, it is for this reason. "

The statement was interpreted as' the degeneration of Chinese women leads to the degeneration of the country '.

Yu Minhong later responded that his improper expression caused misunderstanding. What he really meant was that the level of women in a country represented the level of the country. Women's quality is high, the mother's quality is high, and high-quality children can be educated.

At the same forum, he also said, 'there are many mental problems among students in famous universities. I am determined to let my son enter ordinary universities',' public school teachers are the psychological killer of children 'and other controversial views.

In addition, at the summer summit of Yabuli forum in August 2018, Yu Minhong criticized pinduoduo, Alibaba, Tencent and other Internet companies for making profits by taking advantage of consumers' low tastes.
