Features: The essence of debate stems from erudition, wisdom, cultivation, reasoning, and eloquence. Wherever there are people, there is always debate. "Debate" is for recognizing and grasping truth, while "discourse" is for interpreting and defending opinions. The purpose of debate is to distinguish truth from falsehood, discuss right and wrong, and explore the principles of things. A debate competition not only showcases thrilling verbal sparring and a battle of wits but is, in fact, a way of seeking truth and a true classroom that embodies democracy. In intense debates, different cultures collide, sparking brilliant sparks—crystallizations of meticulous thinking, sudden insights, and fervent words. Through fierce debate, more people activate their thoughts, enlighten their minds, discern right from wrong, and explore and discover the noble and rational pursuit of culture. This book collects all the recorded speeches from the 2004 National College Debate Competition hosted by China Central Television (CCTV).
