After the fourth grade of university started, my fasting skills became more and more pure. I think there may be two reasons: on the one hand, I have been practicing continuously for the past three years, and on the other hand, my "income level" is on the downward trend.

My income level has not changed in RMB, and it is even growing. My father’s monthly living expenses are still 250 yuan, and the school also gave students food subsidies. At that time, the subsidy was 20 yuan and 40 cents a month for school canteen tickets. When I was almost in my senior year, the school made adjustments in consideration of the rising prices. Each person increased by five yuan, and the monthly subsidy became 25 yuan and 40 cents a month.

I once found a "marriage revelation" on a desk in a classroom in the teaching building of the Foreign Languages ​​Department: "A man, 22 years old, has a bachelor's degree (not yet graduated), has a good appearance, has a house (a dormitory where ten people live), has a stable income (a monthly income of 25.4 yuan). I want to find a like-minded woman with good health and good health, not ugly, and a gentle temper to be accompanied to create a better future together. If you are interested, please contact Room 320×× of Jiushe."

This guy is a shame, and the girls probably don't know, but I know that the 9th house of our school 320 is not inhabited at all. I have lived in it before, but it is always haunted. There are many things happening, and it is later blocked. There are one or two rumors about haunted houses in each school, but the matter in this dormitory in our school is indeed true. When the dormitory is very nervous, this dormitory has always been empty. I even went to the door to see it with two locks, but I didn't know what was inside.

But when I see this marriage revelation, I think of not haunted houses, but envy students from other schools. Among our students of the same class, it seems that the subsidy for normal schools is the highest. Some undergraduates are said to have 70 yuan a month, while our school’s master’s student subsidy was only 90 yuan a month. Now many college students may no longer know about the subsidy.

Although the subsidy has increased, in my impression, it is the slowest among all things that can rise. We had a "mechanical engineering materials" course at that time. The textbook was compiled by our school's own teacher, and I can't remember which publisher published it. When I first entered school in 1992, the textbooks used by the previous seniors were sold for 4 yuan and 20 cents per volume. After I graduated in 1996, my juniors of the next seniors also used the same textbook, and I had not even changed the punctuation marks. Each volume was sold for 24 yuan and 20 cents. It took only five years.

At that time, I seemed to have heard people talk about the deeds of foreign students. I don’t know which country’s students never doodle textbooks, and after learning, they will leave the textbooks for the next grade students. This tradition has also spread in our University of Science and Technology, but it has added elements of the market economy. Every year when the summer vacation is approaching, there are always many small vendors on both sides of the roads in the living area. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau generally does not manage them. The stalls are students, and the textbooks are sold. I have many textbooks bought from the seniors for a price ranging from three to five yuan. However, my seniors do not have the habit of not writing randomly like foreign children. If you are lucky, you don’t even need to take notes. Most of these textbooks have been resold to the next juniors.

Although I thought of this kind of method of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure such as reselling textbooks, it is a fact that my living standards have declined. My days of drinking and eating meat have become shorter and shorter, and my days of fasting practice have become longer and longer. This is an inspiration for me. Didn’t Mencius say that?————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

When heroes have no use of their skills, when I reached a new level of high schooling and reached a new level, I was hit by a small thing, which happened at a dusk in the fourth grade of college.

At about five or six o'clock that afternoon, I took a few books to the Mechanical Museum for self-study as usual. The Mechanical Museum is far from the dormitory area, so there are few people taking up seats, so it is rare to be quiet. Just when I just walked to the open space in front of the Mechanical Museum, I was stopped by a dirty little beggar. This little beggar cannot tell the difference between men and women in terms of clothing, but I could tell at a glance that it was a little girl because I had seen her N times.

She stopped me and said the same thing: "Brother, I came to find relatives from ×× place. Unexpectedly, my relatives moved away. I haven't eaten since yesterday. I'm hungry. Can I borrow some money to buy something for me to eat?"

I originally wanted to say to her, "I haven't eaten since last week." But after thinking about it, I can't say such things, after all, I'm an acquaintance. I saw her wandering around in school since the first year of college, and I haven't found relatives yet. And if I ask for money from others, I haven't changed for four years. I want to be a professional beggar but I don't have any professional spirit and refuse to work hard to study begging skills.

Although I know what she is telling the truth, I am a soft-hearted person and would rather take out the money in my pocket to help others when I am hungry. Since I first grade of college, I will give money every time I see her, but I don’t give much - RMB one, don’t laugh at me for being stingy. It’s been so long that the little girl is almost growing up and the prices have risen. Even I feel a little embarrassed to give another dollar, but I can’t stand it if I give too much.

I looked at the little girl's longing eyes, and for some reason I suddenly felt a sense of pity. I thought of the famous saying "It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish" in the pyramid scheme class. So I reached out and touched the little girl's hair and said to her in a caring tone: "Girl, it's really hard for you after so many years. It's better to do this. I will teach you the magical skill of fasting, so you won't have to go hungry in the future!"

Before he finished speaking, he was beaten to the dog and slap on his head, and the stars in front of me were so popular that after the stars disperse, the little girl had already walked away and sang while walking: "I am not Huang Rong, I don't learn magical skills--"

This song was later adapted by professionals and sang all over the country. Whenever I heard someone sing this song, I always felt very depressed and felt a sense of frustration in my heart. At that time, my belief in fasting began to shake. Later, I became a stock market critic. Whenever I taught or instilled various so-called investment concepts into me, I would think of this experience I had before.
