Chapter 83 History and Change

The information asymmetry in this era is very serious, and the world is changing faster and faster, so that many people's thinking is still stuck in the old era.

In the past few years, the admission scores for higher vocational colleges in many areas of the country were higher than those for local full-time ordinary high schools, or even higher than those for key high schools and model high schools. Can you believe it?

This is the inevitable result of economic development in a special era. The social demand for technical workers and full-time talents who have received basic education and mastered specific skills is too urgent. In addition, it is too difficult to continue studying. Many rural families simply cannot afford a college student.

It is better to learn some skills early, find a reliable job, and earn some money to support the family.

In an era where early marriage and early childbearing are common, it is unrealistic to expect families who are not very well-off to have a long-term vision.

In addition, traditional industries such as coal, chemicals, steel, metallurgy, etc. were once the most desirable hard-core fields in the minds of the Chinese people. But they don’t know that these have been on the decline for many years. It is a sunset industry.

Back when these faltering heavy industry companies were still the kind of companies that, despite their size, were the golden rice bowl of a small city with complete internal organs.

Hospitals, guest houses, canteens, cinemas, parks and playgrounds; kindergartens, elementary schools, junior high schools and high schools all in one, and there are various preferential policies for going to college; even many large-scale factories have police stations, maintained by serious police

Security within the factory.

Being in it, you can account for all your life, life, old age, illness and death. It is truly a factory that is your home, not a picture of a boss tricking employees into working overtime.

In the past, entering this kind of unit would have been a great occasion for an ordinary family to have a banquet, and they no longer had to worry about the marriage of their children.

Now, this situation is changing, but many people's ideas have not changed yet, and they still cut their heads and think that it is strange that they will end up well in the future.

Of course, it is impossible for Jin Shang to really go against the will of the masses. He can only give indirect hints. Whether he can understand it and listen to it or not, it is not his business.

"You mean, if you can choose science subjects, you should choose science subjects as much as possible. New technologies, new materials, electrical power, information engineering, computers, etc. are the first choices. Basic subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry should be cautious and choose applied sciences as much as possible?"

Wu Chan roughly summarized it, checked with Jin Shang, and received a relatively positive answer.

"Yes! Basic subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry are very important. Almost all fields rely on them. Only by laying a solid foundation can the superstructure be stable. But..."

Jin Shang smiled implicitly and shook his head,

"Unless they really love it and are determined to contribute silently to the construction of the motherland, most students are actually not suitable to take this path because...for various reasons, they cannot persevere! I respect and admire every student who spends all his youth.

, and even people who have dedicated their lives to the cause of science. Specifically, every student, before stepping through the door, please confirm again and again whether you are aware and ready."

Sacrifice in peaceful times may not necessarily result in bloodshed and tears; it may also involve hard work, obscurity, a lifetime of futility, and depression.

To engage in basic scientific research, in addition to talent and inspiration, the rest requires constant investment, constant trial and error, fighting unknown enemies, and constantly broadening the boundaries of human cognition.

"Honestly speaking, I don't really appreciate Xiao Jin's relatively negative statement. However, it may be good advice to parents and students. Each child's talent and temperament are different, and personal will must be respected, and at the same time

Consider the practical difficulties..."

Wu Chan explained relatively implicitly that some of Jin Shang's remarks were quite explicit and would likely arouse criticism in the future, so he kept them within the scope of a family's remarks to avoid unnecessary trouble as much as possible.

"Anything else to add about liberal arts?"

"I don't know much about it. Judging from my personal observations, except for subjects such as archeology, geography, philosophy, psychology, and economics that are particularly unpopular, particularly difficult, and difficult to find jobs, you should be careful when applying. For others, it depends on personal preferences.

.”

"Can't you pick a more promising direction?"

"Um……"

After thinking for a moment, Jin Shang chose a few that he was relatively confident about.

"Education and preschool education should be relatively stable fields. Given the size and growth rate of the population, the future demand is quite large. There should be no risk of decline in foreign language majors in twenty years. The trend of globalization is irreversible. Whether it is translation

Teaching is also pretty good; journalism and advertising and marketing should also have good prospects, but it depends on whether you can adapt to this field; in addition, financial accounting and digital multimedia technology are also pretty good. This is my undergraduate degree in college

Seven years plus personal income after starting a business, I hope it can be helpful to everyone..."

Wu Chan answered the question tactfully:

"Unlike the traditional popular fields such as medicine, law, economics, and management, young people today seem to be more optimistic about emerging industries and keep up with the development needs of the times. This is also a very good idea. Regarding the college entrance examination, volunteering

And professional, do you two have anything else to add?"

Lu Liao, who had little to do with the topic, answered easily:

"Keep calm, rational and focused, but don't pay too much attention to the point of being overwhelmed by the pressure; performing abnormally and not as well as expected in the college entrance examination does not mean that the future is bleak, nor does it mean that you have been admitted to a good university and a good major of your choice.

The future is worry-free; in the future, everything is possible..."

After saying a few words of encouragement, it was Jin Shang's turn and he simply spread his hands.

"You've said it all, what else can I say? The road is long, but the journey will come; if we keep on walking, we will have a promising future. Study, work hard, and struggle, and we all have a bright future!"

The topics about study and the college entrance examination come to an end. Finally, about dreams, it is about Jin Shang and Lu Liao.

"Finally, before entering the question-and-answer session of the audience, you two can have a good discussion about each other's views on the future. It has nothing to do with the past, nothing to do with family, nothing to do with praise or criticism. Talk about what you imagine your future self to be like, or what you hope for in the future world.

What will it become? This time, Xiao Lu will tell you first..."

After hearing this, Lu Liao looked at his relatives and friends on the sidelines, and then at Lu Liao and Wu Chan who were waiting for him to say his story. He smoothed his long forehead hair a little, and then said seriously:

"My dream is to live my life freely and passionately. When future generations mention me, they will say with envy: Lu Liao is really an enviably happy guy."

“You can live your life in a leisurely way, and you’ll still be remembered in history, right?”

Jin Shangyan's concise and concise words made Lu Liao's eyes light up:

"Right, that is it!"

"You were crying when you came, and your relatives and friends were laughing; when you left, your relatives and friends were crying, and you still want to smile? Others don't have so many things to do, and you are the only one who asks for so much! I thought I was greedy enough,

I didn’t expect you to be more shameless than me.”

Jin Shang couldn't help but feel happy,

"Go on and let me see what other shameless words you can say..."

"Why are you so shameless?"

Lu Liao responded to Jin Shang's teasing in a dumbfounded way, and then continued to explain,

"I think, in this life, if a person comes into this world crying, he should not leave with regrets. Cherish the time, do what you want to do, try your best, and do your best, such as literature, racing, sports, love

Wait, life is long, and if you want too much, you won’t actually have enough..."

"Life is short and comes and goes in a hurry! However, it seems that you are not a carpe diem person, but an activist who hopes to cherish the present, cherish time and fate, live up to your youth, and create a future!"

"Isn't this a matter of course? Dropping out of school is not about shrinking from the difficulties, but because you have something you want to do more!"

"Then your dream is a bit difficult to realize! After living a wonderful life, you can still work hard, and your name will go down in history..."

Jin Shang smiled and shook his head,

"In a person's life, he will die three times. The first time is physical death, which is physiological and medical death; the second time is funeral, which is death in society; the last death is the most sentimental, it means that there will be no more death in this world.

No one will remember you, what you have done, and traces of your activities have completely disappeared. If you want to extend the value and life of your existence as much as possible, being famous in history is almost the only hope..."

"What you said about these three deaths is quite interesting."

Although Jin Shang's words were a bit strange, now was not the time to think about it carefully. Lu Liao quickly responded,

"If it wasn't difficult, would it still be called a dream? That is the highest goal worth striving for in a lifetime..."

"That's right! A little arrogant, but young people are still young if they are not arrogant!"

Jin Shang pondered for a moment and agreed with Lu Liao's statement.

"The passing years are pure and simple, I wish you peace and quiet. May time be gentle and gentle, and may time never go to waste!"

"Thanks!"

Since dropping out of school, Lu Liao has really been under a lot of pressure, and even his relatives don't understand it all.

Although Jin Shang, a peer of his age, was harsh in his words and not polite at all, he always pointed out his own weaknesses and mistakes, and even expressed his likes and dislikes without concealment. However, he did not hesitate to praise the traits he truly admired.

It had been a long time since I heard such heartfelt positive comments, and the depression in Lu Liao's heart was relieved a little.

There was a slight conflict between the two, but overall they were relatively harmonious. Wu Chan also nodded slightly approvingly, and then asked Jin Shang:

"What about you, what is your dream for the future? Since there are differences, there should be big differences, right?"

"change the world!"

Jin Shang said very solemn words in a calm tone,

"Growing up, I was always incompatible with the people around me because of my precocious wisdom. There seemed to be a voice in the dark urging me to change myself as soon as possible and reconcile with the world, so that I could live a more comfortable life. However, it is a pity that after so many years,

Now, I am still the naughty boy who would rather compete with myself than compromise. Since the world has not succeeded in changing me, it is my turn to change the world..."

What comes and goes!

In the past, people were small and weak, but now they are different and can try to punch the world.

Seeing that Jin Shang was even more exaggerated than himself, Lu Liao couldn't help but laugh:

"This dream of yours can really only be imagined in your dreams. The world is there, it has always been like this, and it is not aimed at you..."

"This has always been the case, shouldn't there be a change? What I said about changing the world was not to prove anything, just because I didn't like it and wanted to make it what I thought it would be..."

"Oh? Tell me, what makes you so dissatisfied?"
