Lan Jue's increasingly heated voice echoed in the classroom, everyone was listening attentively, any other voice of does not have besides him.

"According to a later investigation, only the crew members of the 6th and 2nd lifeboats jumped in, but were immediately found by the officials in charge there and told them to come out. They said nothing and obeyed the order and returned to the deck."

"A famous writer once said, 'This is because they were born with the ideal of being educated: responsibility is more important than other considerations, and responsibility and discipline are synonyms. In the hours before Titanic sank, This ideal of responsibility and discipline has proven to be the most powerful temperament that is difficult to be eroded. '"

"indeed's sense of responsibility made fireman Farman Cavill return to the No. 4 boiler room when he felt that he might have left a little earlier, to see if other boiler workers in has or doesn't have were trapped. There; the sense of responsibility of indeed, the signalman Ron has been firing a signal flare on the deck, shaking the Morse signal light, no matter how much it looks like does not have; the sense of responsibility of indeed, has been assigned to the lifeboat to be a rower Heng Ming, the boiler worker, gave this opportunity to others, and remained on the deck himself, and was still unloading the dinghy at the last moment; the sense of responsibility of indeed made the reporters Phillips and Bryder insist in the report room By the last minute, Captain Smith told them that they could abandon the ship, they still do not leave, continue to tap the keyboard, tap the end of life seconds, send telecommunications and the last hope; the sense of responsibility of indeed made the chief engineer Bell And all the engineers have been working hard in the machine room, even if they know that they have boarded the deck does not have time and lost any chance of escape; indeed this sense of responsibility makes fun Captain Henry Hartley and other musicians playing with light jazz and solemn religious hymn 'God with us in', until the waters to the seabed with their lives and singing ...... "

"All of this ca n’t be explained with just a sentence of" brave ". There is a saying in the west: 'Even a hero, he will become a coward in despair.' But 'Titanic' has changed countless ordinary people Become a hero! The sense of responsibility raises the value of man, the nobility of man, and the beauty of man. "

"This is the spirit of aristocracy! Each of them is a nobleman in my mind!"

"When the survivors of 'Titanic' discussed who survived and who died, because there are far more women and children than men, people are considered to be the triumph of the myth of the maritime rule 'women and children first'. But the Titanic subsidiary company told the media: does not have's so-called 'maritime rules' require men to make so much sacrifice. What they do can only be said that the strong care for the weak, which is the same whether on land or at sea. This is theirs Personal choices are not required by any rules and regulations and navigation rules. What they insist on is the ancient but always young human value. '

"At the time, the billionaire Astor asked the officer in charge of the lifeboat if he could accompany his pregnant wife Madeleine on the boat. After the crew member said," Women and children first come ", he was like a real gentleman. Go back to the deck and sit quietly until the ship sinks and the big chimney that fell on the ship smashed him into the Atlantic Ocean. Astor was the only billionaire on Titanic at the time and one of the richest people in world. His Assets, you can build eleven Titanic giant ships. "

"Titanic Captain Smith has a good personal relationship with almost all the rich on board. Many are also his good friends, including Astor. But Astor simply does not have went to the Captain Smith and walked the 'back door'. If he went to Captain for good reason, his wife was pregnant for five months. But Astor does not have did this, or simply then does not have thought it should be done, it was an era of does not have's "back door" concept, it was an exquisite one A gentleman's manner, an era of being a real man. He is a real nobleman! "

"The other rich man on Titanic whose wealth is second only to Astor is Straus. He and his wife are also on this boat. The Straus couple also brought a dozen attendants and waiters themselves in case the waiters on board were not enough, or Serve yourself when inconvenient. You can imagine how rich and stylish they are. After Titanic hit the iceberg, Mrs. Straus almost got on the No. 8 lifeboat, but her foot was about to step to the side. She suddenly changed her mind and came back to Mr. Straus was together and said: 'For all these years, we have lived together. Where you go, I go too!' She gave her a place in the boat to a young maid, and also gave her a own fur coat. Dumped this maid and said, 'I don't need it anymore!' "

"When someone asked Mr. Straus, 67," I promise that there will be no objection to an old gentleman like you going on a dinghy ... "Straus replied firmly," I will never board a lifeboat before other men .

"I don't know if you will become a noble in the future, but today I stand here and become a lecturer of Hua Alliance National Academy. In this first class, I must tell you what a true noble is! "

"spiritual Nobles are not necessarily rich, and rich people are not necessarily nobles. And the spirit of nobles can never be bought with money! If one day, you can raise your chest and become such a nobleman, then , I am proud of you! "

Third, I finally finished the plot I've always wanted to write, I hope everyone likes it. The reason for writing this city is also indeed because I have something I want to pass on to everyone. Aristocracy is often regarded as a derogatory term, especially in a country that has been dominated by local literature after liberation. But I hope everyone can see what a true aristocracy is. Aristocracy is not money and power. What is more important is a responsibility. That noble person can use his life to set off the noble, brave to protect the weak and protect relatives. Their nobility has a dime relationship with money and power does not have. That is The noble glory of human nature.
