Chapter 83 History and Change

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

A few years ago, the admission scores for higher vocational colleges in many regions in China were higher than those of local full-time general high schools, or even key high schools and demonstration high schools. Do you believe it?

This is an inevitable economic development in a special era. The social level has too urgent demand for technical workers and full-time talents who have received basic education and mastered a skill. In addition, it is too difficult to continue to go to school. Many rural families cannot afford a college student at all. It is better to learn some skills early, find a reliable job, and earn some money to subsidize their family income.

In the era when early marriage and early childbirth are common, it is unrealistic to expect a family that is not very well-off to have a long-term vision.

In addition, traditional industries such as coal, chemical industry, steel, metallurgy, etc. were once the hard-core fields that Chinese people yearn for the most, but they don’t know that these have been going downhill for many years, and are a sunset industry. They are also the kind of heavy industry companies that are staggering and are the kind of golden rice bowls of a small factory, a small city with sparrows, all of which are all well-organized.

Hospitals, guesthouses, canteens, cinemas, parks and playgrounds; kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools and high schools one-stop, and there are various preferential policies for going to college; even many large-scale factories and police stations have police stations, and serious police officers maintain the security in the factory.

In it, birth, old age, sickness and death can be explained in the whole life. That is the real thing about the factory, rather than the painting cake where the boss deceives employees to work overtime.

In the past, if you enter such a unit, you will have a great joy for ordinary families to hold a banquet, and you will no longer have to worry about the marriage of the little boy in your family.

Now, this situation is changing, but many people's concepts have not been reversed yet, and they have still cut their heads and drilled in. It would be strange if they can end up well in the future.

Of course, Jin Shang could not really fight against the will of the general public. He could only hint at indirectly whether he could understand and not listen to it, so he would not be able to control it.

"What you mean is that if you can choose science, try to choose science, new technologies, new materials, electrical and electrical power, information engineering, computers, etc., and be cautious in basic disciplines such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, and try to choose applied science?"

Wu Chan summarized roughly and confirmed to Jin Shang, and received a relatively positive answer.

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

Jin Shang smiled implicitly and shook his head.

"Unless you really love it and are determined to contribute silently to the construction of the motherland, most students are actually not suitable for taking this path, because... all kinds of reasons can't persevere! I respect and admire everyone who uses all their youth, or even contributes to the scientific cause for the rest of their lives. For every student, before entering that gate, please confirm repeatedly whether you have realized and prepared."

Sacrifices in peaceful times may not necessarily lead to blood and tears, but may also be laborious, unknown, futile, and depressed to last forever.

In basic scientific research, in addition to talent and inspiration, the rest is to constantly invest, constantly try and make mistakes, fight against unknown enemies, and constantly broaden the boundaries of human cognition.

"From the heart, I don't appreciate Xiao Jin's relatively negative statement. However, it may be a good word to parents and students. Each child has different talents and personalities. You must respect your personal will and consider the difficulties in reality..."

Wu Chan explained relatively implicitly that some of Jin Shang's remarks are more explicit and may cause criticism in the future. They are bound to the scope of one's own words to avoid unnecessary trouble to the greatest extent.

"Are there any additional supplements for liberal arts?"

"I don't know much about it. Judging from the conclusions I have obtained from my personal observations, except for subjects such as archaeology, geography, philosophy, psychology, and economics that are particularly unpopular, very hard and difficult to find a job, you should be cautious about applying for the exam, and other things depend on your personal preferences."

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

"Um……"

After thinking for a while, Jin Shang still ordered a few relatively confident ones.

"Education and preschool education should be relatively stable areas. The population size and growth rate are here, and the demand in the future is quite large. Foreign language majors should not have the risk of decline within 20 years, and the globalization trend is irreversible. Whether it is translation or teaching, it is good; journalism and communication and advertising marketing should also have good prospects, but this industry depends on whether it is suitable; in addition, financial accounting and digital multimedia technology are not bad. This is my personal income after seven years of undergraduate and master's degree in college, and I hope it will be helpful to everyone..."

Wu Chan answered very cleverly:

"Unlike the popular fields such as medicine, law, economics, and management in our traditional cognition, young people nowadays seem to be more optimistic about emerging industries and keep up with the needs of the development of the times. This is also a very good idea. Regarding the college entrance examination, volunteering and majors, do you two have anything else to add to?"

Lu Liao, who had little to do with his topic, replied easily:

"Keep calm, rational and focused, but don't pay too much attention to it, so that it is crushed by heavy pressure; the misperforming college entrance examination is not as good as expected, which does not mean that the future is bleak. Obtaining the good university and good major you like does not mean that the future is worry-free; everything is possible in the future..."

After saying a few words of encouragement, Jin Shang's turn was just spreading his hands.

"You have finished everything, what else should I say? The road is long and the way is coming; if you keep moving, the future is promising. If you study, work hard, and struggle, we all have a bright future!"

The topics about learning and college entrance examinations have come to an end. Finally, about dreams is the link between Jin Shang and Lu Liao.

"Finally, before entering the question session of the audience, you two can discuss each other's views on the future. It has nothing to do with the past, family, praise or criticism. Let's talk about your imagination in the future, or what the world will look like in the future. This time, let Xiao Lu talk about it first..."

After hearing this, Lu Liao looked at his relatives and friends on the sidelines, then looked at Lu Liao and Wu Chan who had been waiting for him to tell him leisurely. After stroking his forehead, he said seriously:

"My dream is to live freely and live a life full of enthusiasm. When future generations mention me, they will say enviously: Lu Liao is such a man who is so happy that he is enviable."

"I can go through life with a leisurely life, and I will still be famous in history after it is over, right?"

Jin Shang's concise words made Lu Liao's eyes lit up:

"Yes, that's it!"

"When you come, you are crying, and your relatives and friends are laughing; when you leave, your relatives and friends are crying, and you still want to smile with a smile? Others don't have that much trouble, you just ask for so much! I thought I was already greedy enough, but I didn't expect you to be more shameless than me."

Jin Shang couldn't help but feel happy.

"You keep going, let me see what shameless words you can say..."

"Why are you shameless?"

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

"I think, in this life, when you come to this world crying, don't leave with regrets. Cherish your time, do what you want, do your best, and do your best, such as literature, racing, sports, love, etc. Life is long, and you want too much, but it is not enough..."

"Life is short and comes and goes quickly! However, you do not seem to be the advocate of the timely music school, but rather an activist who hopes to cherish the present, cherish the time and fate, live up to youth, and create the future!"

"Isn't this a matter of course? Sending out of school is not about shrinking from fear of difficulties, but about having something you want to do more!"

"Then your dream is a bit difficult to realize! After a wonderful life, you can work hard and be famous in history..."

Jin Shang smiled and shook his head,

"A person's life will die three times. The first time is a physical death, a physical and medical death; the second time is a funeral, a death in society; the last death is the most sentimental one, that is, no one in this world remembers you, and the traces of activities have completely disappeared. To try to extend the value and life of existence, it is almost the only hope to be famous in history..."

"Your statement about these three deaths is quite interesting."

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

"If it's not difficult, is it still a dream? That's the highest goal worth fighting for the rest of your life..."

"That's right! It's a bit arrogant, but, young people, if they aren't crazy, are they still young people!"

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

"The years pass by are shallow, I wish you peace, I wish you a gentle time, and I wish you never waste your time!"

"Thanks!"

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

Although Jin Shang, a peer, speaks meanly and does not speak politely at all, always pointing out his weaknesses and mistakes incisively, and even expressing his likes and dislikes without any concealment. However, he is not stingy in praise of his true appreciation traits.

It took a long time since I heard such a sincere affirmative evaluation, and the depression in Lu Liao's heart also relieved a lot.

The two had a little conflict in their perception, but they were generally harmonious. Wu Chan nodded with a little praise and then asked Jin Shang:

"What about you, what are your future dreams? Since there are differences, there should be a big difference, right?"

“Change the world!”

Jin Shang said very serious words in a relatively plain tone.

"From childhood to adulthood, I was always out of touch with the people around me. There seemed to be a voice in my dark that persuaded me to change myself as soon as possible and reconcile with this world, and I could live a more comfortable life. But, unfortunately, after so many years, I am still the twisted boy who would rather compete with me than compromise. Since this world has not successfully changed me, it is my turn to change this world..."

Are there come and go?

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

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

"Your dream is probably only possible to think about it in your dream. The world is there, it has always been like this, not aimed at you..."

"As always like this, shouldn't we change it? I'm talking about changing the world, not to prove anything, just because I don't like it, and want to make him what I think..."

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

“For example…”

Jin Shang tilted his head slightly, thought for a while and replied,

"I want to buy beach pants, swimsuits, sunglasses and sun hats for summer vacation next month. I can only go to the mall or clothing store to choose on site..."

"What's wrong with this? Everyone is like this..."

"It's a hot day, I don't want to go out and make trouble. If I can buy it online and place an order directly, the next day the courier will deliver it to my door. Isn't it beautiful to buy what I like all over the world without leaving home?"

"Is this... possible?"

"How is it impossible?"

Jin Shang shrugged very easily,

"It's not just these, I think I can do it online. Order takeaway, check hotels, rent houses, check bus routes, buy movie tickets, group trips, blind dates, job recruitment, etc. I even hope that one day I will be at home when I am struggling with whether to put soy sauce or sugar when eating tofu brain, and post an article for help online. There are thousands of netizens around the world who give me advice. What a grand occasion should it be?"

After his mind was constantly twisting, he still couldn't see what Jin Shang said. Wu Chan couldn't help but laugh a few implicitly. Just as he was about to ask a few questions, Lu Liao rushed to ask:

"Are you adding sugar or soy sauce?"

"What do you think?"

"soy sauce!"

"Heaven, our friendship has come to an end from today."

"We have never had that thing."

Wu Chan interrupted the two of them with laughter and cry, and persuaded:

"Is this the point? Tell me more about the future and the topic of dreams..."

No matter how much he joked, Jin Shang explained his thoughts in detail next.

"Maybe I have different ideas from ordinary people. I have had fewer direct communication with the outside world since I was a child, so I always feel very inconvenient to get along with each other at a close distance. For example, it was difficult to install a phone before, but now I have a cell phone, which makes me feel much less anxious when I go out. It has become a habit to call if I have something to do..."

After a pause, Jin Shang continued to explain,

"There is another person who occasionally listens to music and watches movies when he is alone, but no matter what TV or radio, I can only accept whatever it plays, and I am not free at all. Video tapes, tapes and CDs, etc., are large and heavy, which is very inconvenient. If I move them online, I will click on any TV series I want to watch, from beginning to end, watch it in one breath, and don't have to watch the TV station again..."
