Three days before the winter vacation was about to end, Qin Lu, Liu Yan and a group of seven people got on the train from Ningcheng to Yanjing.

During these days in Ningcheng, Qin Lu's mood has never been calm.

She feels that this is the happiest time she has had in the past few years, even happier than when she received the admission notice from Qinhua University before the Spring Festival in 1978 when she was working in the production team.

However, when I thought about Liu Yan preparing to return to Jiangning Province after graduating from university in 1982, especially that night when he attended a gathering of Yuanping educated youth in Ningcheng, I knew that these people actually wanted to work at the grassroots level and had such a determined attitude.

Her heart immediately darkened again.

She said to Liu Yan who was sitting next to her: "Liu Yan, have you ever thought about it? There are more than 270,000 people in the 1977 class who have been admitted to college, and the vast majority of them are educated youth who have gone to the mountains and countryside.

When employers in first- and second-tier cities are unable to meet their needs, how many of them are willing to give up these opportunities and return to the towns and grassroots?"

"It goes without saying that not many young people from rural areas are willing to go back! This is not only the case now, but will also be the case in the future."

Liu Yan couldn't help but think of his past life. Most of the students from rural areas went to college just to change their personal destiny, to get rid of the poverty of life, and to one day leave the barren land where they grew up.

Very few people go back to change the face of their hometown, let alone change the fate of the Chinese people.

He smiled and said to Qin Lu: "Sister, it is even more important to start with our current generation of college graduates and set an example for those who come after us. This is the mission of our 77th class."

"Do you think that just five or six of you can set an example and turn things around?" Qin Lu turned her face and looked at Liu Yan.

"Although there are only five or six of us, maybe we can lead fifty or sixty of the 1977 college graduates across the country.

Once these fifty or sixty people are distributed in fifty or sixty towns, they may change the face of fifty or sixty villages in five or six years.

If there are fifty or sixty people every year, there will be five or six hundred people in ten years..."

"Don't be so naive! These people are no longer the 20 million educated youths who went to the mountains and countryside!

It was the trend of the times at that time. Times are different now, and people can no longer have the naive and impulsive passion of the past.

China has a population of more than 900 million. Even if there are five to six thousand people like you in ten years, do you think it can be changed?"

Liu Yan looked out the window and said with determination: "Yes! All greatness in the world exists in insignificance.

Although babies are small, they are future adults. Although their heads are narrow, they contain infinite thoughts. Although their eyes are only a little big, they can see the vast world..."

"Come on! Don't make such vain remarks to me!

Let me tell you Xiaoyan, this is not only a matter of the deep-rooted ideas and consciousness of Chinese farmers for thousands of years, but also an issue of the degree of attention a place attaches to rural economic construction and development planning. This path is not what you imagine.

flat!"

"Sister, I have thought about all this. Maybe, the insignificant power of a few of us may not necessarily have an earth-shaking effect, but at least there will be no side effects, are you right?

I believe that as long as everyone's strength is added up, we can become a vast ocean." Liu Yan glanced at Zhou Haiyang sitting opposite with a smirk on his face: "Ocean, don't you think so?!"

Zhou Haiyang was stunned for a moment when Liu Yan asked him this question, and looked at him with a confused expression: "Huh?"

When Qin Lu saw this, she burst into laughter and patted Liu Yan: "Hai Hai is an honest man, don't make others happy."

Then he said to Liu Yan: "I can't explain your mouth. Okay! I won't tell you these big principles, let's talk about reality.

It’s hard for the family to be together, haven’t you thought about your parents?”

"Of course I have thought about it. I did this, Haiyang did this, Xiaohong and Yuanyuan did this, not only for us, but also to be worthy of our parents."

"Are you sure that your parents support your idea?"

"How do you know they don't agree with my idea? Sister, how about we make a bet?"

"A bet? How to bet?"

"If my parents support me, you must also support me. Not only support me, but also do me a favor!"

"How do you want me to help you?"

Liu Yan pointed at Zhou Haiyang and said to Qin Lu: "Let dad or Yang Congwu say hello to Jiangning Province and transfer Haiyang's dad to Huaining City during this time of land withdrawal and city change."

"This matter is of concern to the province, so they should not interfere!"

"The main leaders of Jiangning Province have already talked to Haiyang's father, and they have this intention. Of course, there are other candidates under consideration. At this juncture, if the Central Organization Department can give an attitude, things will fall into place."

"Besides, why must Haiyang's father go to the Huaining Municipal Party Committee?"

"I'm worried that if I change someone else, some work will not be carried out in the future..."

"What on earth do you want to do?"

“As for the next path of reform and opening up, no one has a fixed model now, and everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones.

As for how to do it? It depends on the specific conditions of different places. Whether it is successful or not? It has to be tested through practice.

We just hope that the higher authorities will not interfere too much in our work and can give us a relatively relaxed policy environment..."

"What if your parents don't agree with you leaving Yanjing?"

"Haha, anyway, I have a way to get dad to agree! I believe dad will definitely support me!"

"It seems that you guys have really made up your mind! Not only do you want to do it yourself, but you also involve the adults in it."

"Sister, please don't worry! We will never cause any trouble to the adults, and we will never abuse our relationships and power.

Just so that when the time comes, within the scope allowed by the policy, the various departments will not interfere, restrict or create difficulties.

As you said just now, the road to reform is not smooth..."

"Okay! I will tell dad."

"This is my good sister." Liu Yan happily hugged Qin Lu's arm and kissed her on the forehead.

"I really can't do anything about you." Qin Lu smiled bitterly and shook her head, turned around and said to the others: "I'm not pouring cold water on you, and I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm.

I want to tell you that this road is very difficult and full of thorns. Since you are going to take this road, you must be mentally prepared for a long time and don't be too idealistic.

Maybe what you are doing is a good thing, but the way of thinking and concepts that have been ingrained in rural areas for thousands of years are not so easy to change.

Remember what the great man once said? The serious problem lies in educating farmers. And this is a long-term systematic project."

[Author's digression]: "1002889 Rebirth 1976 Begins as an Educated Youth" is a long serial officialdom novel that is completely different from the promotion of children from poor families...

Through the encounters of the protagonist's family in historical periods, the experience of going to the mountains and countryside, and the personal growth process, the work shapes the political character of a generation of people who love the motherland, understand the national conditions, sympathize with the people, care about the fate of the nation, and hope for the steady development of the country.

The author uses a different thinking and vision from previous officialdom works, and uses personal experience to take you from a new perspective to understand and recognize the other side of the positive energy of officialdom from the 1970s to the 21st century, as well as

The mind and pattern of a generation...

I hope to continue to receive criticism, guidance, encouragement and support from all readers in various ways!
