Esperanto, a language born in 1887 with a utopian background, will become popular on the Chinese Internet in 2023. In February this year, Zhang Xuefeng, a famous teacher for postgraduate entrance examination, connected with a student's parent and said Esperanto without any hesitation, "This is not a cold major, it is a cold major". The center of the disturbance is Zaozhuang College in Zaozhuang, Shandong Province, a local two university, and now the only university in China that has opened a major in Esperanto. Since 2018, it has started to recruit students, and has now trained two graduates. Esperanto speakers are also known as List of Esperanto speakers speakers. They live in two "worlds": the first world is idealism, and they feel the good faith of "Community of Common Destiny" from this language; The second world is a reality. The anti globalization international environment, the severe employment situation, and the spread of Utilitarianism inevitably led to the decline of Esperanto. This also makes the Esperanto profession full of controversy and prejudice in the current public opinion environment. However, the School of Foreign Languages of Zaozhuang University has not suffered too much. This is indeed a "rare road". However, from the development of the first Esperanto graduates, they believe that this road is still worth continuing. They firmly believe that Esperanto and List of Esperanto speakers speakers will go to more open waters in the future. On the morning of June 19, the 2023 undergraduate graduation ceremony of the School of Foreign Languages of Zaozhuang University was held in the academic lecture hall of the comprehensive building. Amidst the background music, graduates dressed in bachelor's uniforms step onto the stage one by one, accepting the guidance of school and college leaders and receiving degree certificates. Esperanto graduates are sitting in the fifth row in the middle of the hall. This is the second Esperanto graduates to be sent away by Zaozhuang University. There are 23 students in the class. Sun Mingxiao, a 60 year old Esperanto teacher, did not attend the graduation ceremony. Next to the Esperanto Museum behind the complex building is Sun Mingxiao's office. Since he retired at the end of May this year, Sun Mingxiao has come here every morning to bury himself in the paper pile of Esperanto materials. Recently, he is translating a book related to the "the Belt and Road", which has entered the final proofreading stage. A glass door isolated Sun Mingxiao from the outside world, but the hustle and bustle on the internet still intruded into his personal space. In February this year, Zhang Xuefeng, a famous teacher for postgraduate entrance examination, connected with a student's parent to make "Esperanto", a rather obscure major, "out of the circle". In the video, Zhang Xuefeng unkindly called Esperanto, "This is not a popular major, it is a 'humble major'." "The serious people abroad, who should learn this?" "There is no recruit from Beiwai and Shangwai, and then Zaozhuang College recruited such a Esperanto. Is there any talent in Zaozhuang College?" "The layman does not know Esperanto at all." Although it has been several months since I mentioned this topic, Sun Mingxiao was still sulky. "If we look at it from the perspective of Utilitarianism, many liberal arts majors are not enough." When the video caused controversy, Esperanto students were also somewhat unfair. A freshman girl once argued and discussed with malicious people in the comments section, "But it's useless." This course was born in 1887
