After confirming the identity of this person, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "We don't have any superiors here, let alone sorry or not. We are all away from home. If we have difficulties or something, we should help each other. You don't want to call me "
I am a commander, and there is no such position in the Anti-Japanese League."
"My surname is Yang. You can call me Comrade Yang, or you can call me Lao Yang. Anyway, it seems that I am a few years older than you two. If you really don't want to, you can call me Brother Yang. That's it.
Don't call me sir, there is no such thing as sir."
"But how come you, a teacher from Tongliao, were noticed by the newspaper in Harbin? It seems that you must have published many articles in this newspaper. Tell me what articles you have written. Let me read them that day.
How about it? Although I am a soldier, I also like to deal with literati."
In response to Yang Zhen's ridicule, the young man's face turned slightly red, and he even said with some embarrassment: "I have never published an article in a newspaper in Harbin. It was in the newly published "Tongliao Daily" after the liberation of Tongliao.
I have written several articles as big as tofu."
"I didn't expect that my few big articles would be seen by the propaganda director of the Tongliao Military Control Commission at the time. I was seconded to the Propaganda Department of the Military Control Commission to do literary work for a while. I just wrote some things or some propaganda manuscripts.
, I will also make a temporary guest appearance as a Japanese and English translator.”
"This time the Propaganda Minister was transferred to Harbin to serve as the deputy editor-in-chief of the Northeast People's Government's "Liberation Daily", so he transferred me by name. As a graduate of a normal university, I will not use the knowledge I have learned to teach and solve problems.
I was confused, teaching and educating people, but I went to be the editor of a newspaper. This is somewhat unprofessional, and made the superiors laugh."
In response to this man's self-deprecation, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "I'll say it again, there are no officers here. We are all ordinary people, there is nothing special about us. If you call me officer again, I will be really angry.
You might as well call me Lao Yang, it sounds better that way."
"Don't underestimate the literary work. This is an important position. People rely on newspapers to know the news from the outside and understand the government's work. A small newspaper may not look like much, but it is in your hands.
Depending on the direction of public opinion, I would say this right is greater than the sky."
"Being a good editor is much more difficult than being a good teacher. A pen is also a weapon in combat. When used properly, it is no less lethal than a gun. You are not doing your job properly when you are transferred to a newspaper.
It’s about meeting more important challenges.”
Hearing that this young man could actually speak English, Yang Zhen became more interested. He casually chatted with this man in English and found that this man was not only fluent in English, but also authentic British English. At their age, in the Northeast
It is quite rare to be able to speak English so fluently.
After the September 18th Incident and the Japanese occupation of Northeast China, in order to carry out enslavement education, the entire Northeast's education syllabus and teaching system were completely changed. Originally, all foreign language classes in schools were canceled except for foreign languages. Even to the point that
In 1941, even the Chinese language was changed to Manchu, and Japanese was positioned as the Mandarin language.
Although in the liberated areas of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, this education model was completely abolished. A new education syllabus and a new education method were adopted instead. The original junior high schools in the Puppet Manchukuo, that is, the junior high schools in the base areas, were changed to English and Russian as the main languages.
Foreign language teaching. But the time is still short after all, and the effect is still not obvious.
Under such circumstances, it cannot be said that it is quite rare to have a person who speaks English so fluently. During the conversation, Yang Zhen learned that there used to be a White Russian family near this man's home. When this White Russian family settled in Jilin,
I got help from them.
When the Belarusian family was in the Soviet Union, he was a highly educated nobleman who could speak multiple languages. In order to thank his family for their help, they volunteered to teach him English, French and Russian. He started learning foreign languages since he was a child.
His studies were interrupted until the Belarusian woman died of illness.
In addition to the Japanese that he had to learn in the Puppet Manchukuo school, this man actually mastered three foreign languages. And he has learned these foreign languages since he was a child. These foreign languages are basically equivalent to his mother tongue. It’s just that during the Puppet Manchukuo period, his foreign language ability was of no use.
Because of his lack of ability, he can only teach his wife and children at home.
Hearing that this man actually knew three foreign languages, Yang Zhen nodded slightly and remembered the man's name. It was too much to ask this man to be the editor of a newspaper. Since Yuan Zhiruo has not been his secretary since his marriage,
, Yang Zhen has never been able to choose a suitable secretary.
The secretary selected by the Political Department has a good writing skills, but his foreign language skills are very poor. Except for Japanese, he can’t speak anything else. Many documents need to be translated, and Yuan Zhiruo has to be transferred back. If this person can pass the Ministry of Social Affairs
According to the assessment, I am a suitable candidate for a secretary.
This man, who still didn't know his fate, had been changed by this journey. Under Yang Zhen's conscious guidance, he lowered his guard and started talking. Yang Zhen also consciously talked to him about the social changes in Tongliao after the liberation.
Listen to the opinions of ordinary people on the work of the Anti-League.
When the doctor came over with the child who had completed the diagnosis and treatment, he told the couple that the child was just inflamed with tonsils and was not a serious problem. He had already taken medicine. When the grateful couple wanted to return to their carriage, they were surprised.
Yang Zhen, who was still talking about sex, grabbed him.
Yang Zhen directly told his guard to get their luggage and let them rest in his compartment. Yang Zhen's excuse was easy to find. Although the child had no major problems and the fever had gone away, he was still there after all.
While he was ill, his wife was pregnant again, so she didn't necessarily have a good rest in the crowded carriage at the front.
Looking at his tired wife beside him, and the child who was sleeping soundly in his wife's arms after the fever subsided. Already aware that the man in front of him, who was only a few years older than himself, had an unusual status, he hesitated for a long time.
After meeting, Yang Zhen persuaded him to stay.
After Yang Zhen arranged for his wife and children to rest, he dragged this man and started talking again. This exploration was about the world, the changes after the liberation of Tongliao, and the people's evaluation of various policies of the Anti-League. They continued to talk about China and Japan.
It talks about almost everything including historical changes and mountains and rivers geography.
After an in-depth discussion, Yang Zhen discovered that this person has a very broad vision. Although he is a teacher, he does not have the scholarly spirit that ordinary teachers have. He looks at various issues and things very comprehensively. He can express his own opinions on every matter.
.For the most part, he still agreed with the work of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
The only two people who have some different opinions are the land reform policy currently being carried out in the Northeastern base area, and the other is that the control over the use of personnel is too tight, resulting in a rigid flow of personnel. Among all the policies currently implemented by the Anti-League, they
What I think is most inappropriate is that when graduates from national high schools are admitted to higher education, they are often transferred to a certain college in a formal system and are not allowed to choose their favorite major at all.
Even if their parents object, it is of no use. As long as they pass the physical examination, it has become a common practice to force them to enter higher education. All graduates of national high schools are treated in this way.
Just like last year, none of the graduates from Tongliao National High School were assigned to other schools. Except for some who passed the political examination and physical examination, they were selected by the military colleges and universities. All the rest of the students were above the score line based on their graduation scores.
All of them will be transferred to the Transportation College to study road and bridge engineering, locomotive design and manufacturing. Those with grades below this will go to the Railway Technical School to study train maintenance and manufacturing.
The female students at Kailu Women's National High School are also treated in the same way. Taking the graduation examination scores as the dividing line, all the students with the best scores will be transferred to Mudanjiang Medical College to study, and all the middle-level students will be transferred to the School of Finance and Economics and the School of Foreign Languages. The rest.
One-third of the students with slightly lower grades were all transferred to the Nursing School Affiliated to Harbin Medical University and Tongliao Junior Normal School.
His parents in Jilin were both former teachers of the Puppet Manchukuo National High School, and they also faced this situation. Last year's graduates were all assigned to designated schools to study. Except for those who passed the political examination and had good academic performance
Those who are particularly outstanding will be transferred to the Military University of Science and Technology to study.
The rest of the students whose studies are average or who have failed the physical examination and political examination will be assigned to other engineering colleges. The remaining one-third of the students with the worst grades will all be transferred to chemical and metallurgical industrial technical schools.
Year-long junior college.
Unlike his wife's Tongliao High School, all students below the score line are transferred to Railway Technical School. For this type of students in his parents' high school, all boys are transferred to Jiamusi Metallurgical Industry Technical School, and all girls are transferred to Jilin Accounting School.
Studying as a nurse at Jilin Health School.
The entire high school graduates' studies are mainly based on science and engineering. Even for girls, they are mainly focused on these fields, and at most they include medical care, accounting, foreign languages and other majors suitable for girls. There are too few liberal arts majors.
, the number of students enrolled each year is not large.
There are only a few majors, and the number of students is still very low. They are mainly concentrated in law, Chinese and other majors. And except for those who are really in poor health and are not suitable for studying science and engineering, basically no male students are recruited.
.The limited Chinese majors are basically all women’s soldiers.
Not only the original national high school, but also the current ordinary high school are treated like this. Even junior high school graduates are treated like this. The graduation examination results are determined for life, and students with average or above grades are promoted to high school to continue their studies. The remaining half are except
Except for those with poor grades, they all go to various industrial technical schools. Girls study nursing, accounting, and foreign languages, while boys study mechanics, electrical, and welding.
As a teacher, he disagrees with the fact that one test almost determines whether one will build trains or repair trains for the rest of his life. Although the current "Education Law" also clearly stipulates that those with a high school diploma must
School students who meet certain standards in the graduation examination can transfer to a professional college to study for three years and obtain a bachelor's degree. After passing the examination, nursing majors can transfer to a medical school to study the medical profession.
But in his opinion, even if there is such a provision, it is very unfair to some students who usually work very hard but fail to achieve better results in the examination room due to on-the-spot mistakes. Their graduation scores are lower and they can even retake the exam.
It is a bit too inhumane to not give them a chance and just take one test to determine their life. This is a bit too inhumane. These students should still be given a chance to make a new choice.
Moreover, he believes that this way of allocating school learning in a row also limits the use of students' talents. If you ask a student who likes literature and is talented in this area to learn to design and build trains, ships, and airplanes, otherwise he will just learn
For engineering subjects such as mining, this is somewhat too extreme.
