然而,该校党委书记、校长袁卫星并未简单采纳诉求,而是通过一封公开回信,肯定了学生文字中的诗意,并借此上了一堂“生命教育课”:

Amid intense preparation for the national college entrance exam, or gaokao, a student wrote to the school requesting the removal of bird nests on campus, citing disturbance from bird songs. Rather than granting the request, Yuan Weixing, the school's Party secretary and principal, responded with an open letter, turning the moment into an impromptu lesson on life.

In his letter, Yuan first acknowledged the elegance of the student's writing, then elaborated on three key reflections:

第一,生命自有其节律。鸟鸣是鸟儿求偶、呼应同伴的天性表现,世界不会因人类活动而改变运行节奏,学会与万物共存是成长必修课。

Nature follows its own rhythm. Bird songs are part of courting and communication — innate behaviors. The world does not pause for human activities, and learning to coexist with other species is an essential part of growing up.

第二,干扰亦是风景。未来回忆高三时,这些鸟鸣可能成为独特的青春印记,生命的韧性恰是在应对不适中培养。

Disturbances can become memories. Years later, what feels like a disruption today may become a cherished part of one's gaokao experience. Resilience, the principal noted, is often forged in moments of discomfort.

第三,学会与万物对话校园绿树成荫的生态环境正是鸟类选择栖息的原因,鸟鸣既是干扰,也是可被接纳的校园生态组成部分。

Learning to engage with the world around us. The lush, green campus is precisely why birds choose to nest there. Their calls, while intrusive at times, are also part of the ecosystem students belong to.

同时他明确表示——关于"拆除鸟巢"的请求,我理解你的急切,但我不能答应你。不是因为我不体谅你们的辛苦,而是我希望你们能明白:教育的终极目标,不是让世界适应我们,而是让我们学会与世界相处。

袁卫星还向学生提出建议:可将鸟鸣视为自然的“白噪音”或“黄昏音乐会”,在备考间隙学会调节与放松他强调,高考虽是人生重要节点,但培养尊重生命、理解万物、与不适共处的能力,才是人工智能时代更持久的人生财富。

"I understand your urgency, but I cannot grant your request," Yuan wrote. "Not because I don't sympathize with your hard work, but because I want you to understand: the ultimate goal of education is not to make the world adapt to us, but to help us learn to live with the world."

The principal also suggested that the student try reframing the bird songs as natural white noise or even a "dusk concert" — a chance to rest and reset between study sessions.

While acknowledging the significance of the gaokao, Yuan emphasized that cultivating the ability to respect life, coexist with the natural world, and navigate discomfort are lasting assets, especially in an age shaped by artificial intelligence.
