CHAPTER 1813: CHAPTER 950: WINTER’S END, SPRING’S ARRIVAL

Children’s dreams are still so simple and unadorned.

Some want to become scientists.

Others want to be teachers.

There are also those who dream of being doctors or policemen.

Of course, among children, there are inevitably those who aspire to get into Qinghua or Yancheng University. Which child hasn’t had such dreams when they were young?

It’s very normal.

However, the number of those who actually get into Qinghua or Yancheng is small. Many children’s dreams of getting into Qinghua remain just dreams, something to think about nostalgically as they grow up.

But...

It’s okay if you don’t get into Qinghua. If you don’t get into Qinghua, you can try for Mist City Arts and Science University. It’s great there. If you can’t even get into Mist City Arts and Science University, then maybe it’s best to go back and farm.

Mist City Arts and Science University hasn’t set a specific score threshold yet, except for some of the best departments that have certain requirements. Once Mist City Arts and Science University sets entrance score requirements for all departments, getting in will not be so easy.

In the early years after Mist City Arts and Science University was founded, there were no score requirements at all. As long as you wanted to study there, you could go, just by paying the fees.

Now, the students who failed their College Entrance Examination and came to Mist City Arts and Science University have found good jobs, and some have even become leaders in their fields.

Some have even won national science awards.

This is the charm and strength of Mist City Arts and Science University, and this educational success has driven its rapid growth.

Other universities might need decades to become strong, some key universities might even need a century. But Mist City Arts and Science University, although very young, has already become a leading university in the country, comparable to many 985 and 211, Double First Class universities.

Ding Yue believes that in a few more years, Mist City Arts and Science University might be able to compare with Qinghua University and Yancheng University as well.

Most children’s dreams are quite good.

But...

There are one or two kids who, influenced by I don’t know what sort of values, are determined to become internet celebrities when they grow up.

Internet celebrities, well...

Many years ago, it wasn’t a big deal. It was just describing someone popular online.

But as the internet has continued to develop, the term "internet celebrity" has become pejorative, with many chaotic online behaviors affecting societal values.

Of course, if these kids who want to be internet celebrities could become positive or technical influencers in a professional field, then Ding Yue thinks it’s not a bad thing.

"Very good. Your dreams, in this era, are actually easier to achieve because you have better environments and conditions than we had, allowing you to receive a better education,"

Ding Yue said with a smile to the children at Feiyue Hope Elementary School in Loess Village.

Giving them the right guidance is extremely critical.

Ding Yue continued to smile and said, "Whether becoming an astronaut, a scientist, a teacher, or an internet celebrity, as long as you work hard and study well, I believe you can achieve it."

What Ding Yue was actually doing was encouraging these children to work hard and study well. Even if you want to be an internet celebrity, once you have learned and gained knowledge, you can become one with intellectual depth, which is not bad at all.

The main point is, Ding Yue spoke these words in an exceptionally gentle manner.

And the scene of Ding Yue speaking was live-streamed by the village streamer from yesterday.

"Wow! Principal Ding is so gentle."

"Handsome and gentle Principal Ding, I love him."

"And also rich, please!"

"Indeed, to be honest, for children in these remote rural areas, studying is their only way out."

"Hahaha, after the entrance exams, I bet all the kids from the village will go to Mist City Arts and Science University."

"Mist City Arts and Science University is cultivating potential university students right from the start!"

"Getting into Mist City Arts and Science University is not as easy as before, especially for the computer science and mechanical engineering departments which are particularly strong."

"The computer science and mechanical engineering departments of Mist City Arts and Science University are indeed quite impressive."

The chat room was buzzing with discussion.

From talking about Principal Ding’s gentleness, to the dreams of the children in the village, and then to the prestigious departments at Mist City Arts and Science University, the netizens found all sorts of topics to discuss. Who knows where they get so much time if they’re not working?

On the podium, Ding Yue didn’t speak much more.

After all, most of the audience were kids around ten years old, and many were even younger. If he spoke too much, they probably wouldn’t absorb it.
