Counterattack 1988

Chapter 23

"Comrade Wang Lin," Shen Xue said while sitting next to him, "I should pay you back the two hundred yuan and the book money."

"Don't be so anxious! It seems that I came to your house to ask for money! I'm not Yang Bailao!" Wang Lin said with a smile, "If you talk about money with me again, I'm leaving."

Shen Xue pursed her lips and smiled, and said generously: "I want to pay it back, but now I'm short on money and have no money to pay back. You also know that the price of goods has risen terribly recently, and I spent some money on medical treatment. After the medical reform in 85, Our unit only reimburses 70% of the medical expenses.”

In October 1984, the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee passed the "Decision on Economic System Reform", which marked the shift of the focus of reform from rural areas to cities, and the reform of the urban economic system was fully launched.

Against this background, 1985 became the first year of my country's medical reform.

The basic idea of ​​medical reform in this period is to imitate the reform of state-owned enterprises, so its core content is of course "decentralization of power and benefits, expansion of hospital autonomy, liberalization and invigoration, and improvement of hospital efficiency and effectiveness." The basic approach of the reform is It is "only give policy but not money".

The most direct impact of medical reform on employees is that they need to pay part of their own pockets when seeing a doctor!
Wang Lin was about to speak when he suddenly heard a shout from downstairs: "Shen Xue? Shen Xue? Does Comrade Shen Xue live in this house?"

Shen Xue heard the shout and said in a low voice: "It's Cai Jinling, deputy head of our regiment. Why is she here? She never comes to my house."

She got up and went to the stairs, and shouted down: "Captain Cai! I'm here."

"Oh, Shen Xue, I finally found you." Cai Jinling giggled and walked upstairs, making the wooden stairs creak.

After a while, the fragrant wind came, and Wang Lin saw a fat middle-aged woman appearing in the room.

Cai Jinling was in her thirties, wearing short skirts and stockings, and wearing strong perfume.

Influenced by foreign film and television dramas, especially Japanese dramas, women in big cities in the 80s liked to wear miniskirts and stockings, and wore strong perfume, thinking it was fashionable.

Especially women who travel abroad like to dress like this.

What they don't know is that this perfume is mixed with some kind of raw material that stimulates the opposite sex. In foreign countries, only women standing on the street wear it.

Such a dress, in the eyes of foreigners, looks like a chicken for sale.

On international flights, some women who travel abroad have made a lot of jokes about it!
Seeing Cai Jinling's vulgar attire, Wang Lin couldn't help laughing to himself, thinking that they are also dancers, why is there such a big difference between Cai Jinling and Shen Xue?

"Hey, who is this?" Cai Jinling looked at Wang Lin and asked Shen Xue with a smile.

Shen Xue said: "His name is Wang Lin, and he is my friend. Captain Cai, what do you want from me?"

Cai Jinling laughed before saying anything, clapped her hands and said, "Shen Xue, you're lucky!"

Shen Xue smiled wryly and said, "Teacher Cai, don't be joking. I injured my foot, and the heroine of the new program in the group has also been replaced by Fu Meifang. How can I have any luck?"

Cai Jinling giggled and said, "Do you still remember Mr. Geng Yanhua Geng whom I introduced to you last time?"

"Well, what happened?"

"I told you. He is the director of Shanghai Film Studio. He took a fancy to you and said that there is a new movie, and there is a role that is very suitable for you."

Shen Xue was not very interested: "I'm an actor in a song and dance troupe, what kind of movie am I acting in? I don't know my major. He should go to Beijing Film Academy and Shangxi Theater to find actors."

Cai Jinling said: "Shen Xue, this is a good opportunity for you. What's the major or not? Director Geng said you can do it, so you can do it. Director Geng said that at six o'clock tonight, he will be in the Peacock Hall of the International Hotel Wait for you, if you figure it out, go find him."

Shen Xue pondered slightly, but did not agree.

Cai Jinling said: "Shen Xue, don't be foolish! Such good opportunities don't come along often. In our troupe, there are young actors with better conditions than you. I recommended you to Mr. Geng Yanhua. He chose you! You also know that those who work in our singing and dancing industry are all young people, and many of them retire to the second line at the age of thirty! Entering the entertainment industry is a great opportunity for you to become famous. Know the good and the bad!"

Shen Xuexiu frowned slightly, and said softly: "Captain Cai, I still like to dance."

"You, why are you so stupid?" Cai Jinling said with a look of hatred on her face, "How many years can you dance? As soon as your foot hurts, the heroine will be replaced immediately! Can't you understand? This group Here, there is no shortage of people like you! Let me tell you, if you miss this village, you won’t have this store! I’ll bring it for you, and it’s up to you whether you go or not. I’m leaving!”

Shen Xue thanked her and sent her to the door.

Cai Jinling said: "Your foot is injured, so you don't need to send me off. You should think about it yourself! If you don't go, some girls are willing to go!"

She stomped and went downstairs.

Shen Xue turned around and came back to sit down, with a dazed look on her face.

Wang Lin was shocked!

It turned out that the change of Shen Xue's fate started today!

If there is no accident, if the trajectory of time has not changed, then Shen Xue attended that banquet tonight!
Because she did step onto the big screen, became famous, and had a moment of brilliance!

It's just that her highlight moment is too short, like a meteor across the night sky, like a flash in the pan!
If Wang Lin hadn't been obsessed with old movies from the [-]s and [-]s for a while, and had accidentally discovered and enjoyed several old movies starring Shen Xue, it would be impossible to know that there was a character like her!

Wang Lin later checked her information on the Internet, only to find that she is a tragic figure.

Almost overnight, she disappeared from the public eye like a star falling into the moon. Later, it was heard that she offended a well-known director because she did not accept the unspoken rules in the circle. She was blocked by the circle and thrown into limbo. The success was not satisfactory, and later she suffered from severe depression, committed suicide, and remained unmarried for life.

The quality was clean and the quality was returned, and Shen Xue proved her innocence in her life by committing suicide.

Wang Lin looked at the picturesque Shen Xue in front of him, feeling pity in his heart.

"Shen Xue," Wang Lin automatically omitted the word "comrade", "Do you believe in horoscopes?"

"Bazi? Fate?"

"Correct."

"how to say?"

"Geng Yanhua's name has three fires, but your name has both water and snow."

"You mean, fire and water are incompatible with him? But, can't water put out fire?"

"It's a pity that you are snow. Once the fire burns, the snow will melt, and you will not be you. Unless, you are willing to follow the crowd."

Shen Xue couldn't help being startled.

Wang Lindao: "What you like is dance art, and you are also a material for this area. Why don't you continue to cultivate in this area? Who said that dancing is only for young people? As long as you want, you can dance for a lifetime. You can too. Be beautiful on stage for a lifetime!"

Shen Xue said: "You don't understand. There is a lot of competition in our troupe. Every time a new show is scheduled in the troupe, there are several people competing for a heroine. The new Fu Meifang is a graduate of the music and dance department of a prestigious university. It's the niece of our group leader again, she has much better resources than me!"

"Who said you have to stay in the troupe to dance? The stage outside is so vast!"

"You mean, go into the sea?"

"In fact, many teachers of provincial and municipal song and dance troupes have already started to make money. Being your own boss can also be successful. However, I don't recommend you to do this."

"Huh? It was you who proposed going to the sea, and you deny it now?"

"Acupoint walking makes money, but it needs to run around the country. It's tiring, and you have to please others. In many cases, you even need escort services. These are things you don't want, but you can't refuse."

Shen Xue bit her lip lightly, obviously struggling in her heart.

The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny!
The skyrocketing price of goods, coupled with foot injuries and halved wages, Shen Xue's life recently is indeed somewhat stretched.

As for an excellent dancer, she needs to buy more cosmetics and clothing, plus she has a petty bourgeois sentiment, she needs to buy flowers and books, so she spends a lot of money.

The economic base determines the emergence, nature and transformation of the superstructure!
All good things need a lot of money to support and support them!

Wang Lindao: "I know that what you need is not only money, but also a job that can realize your ideals and realize the value of life. I suggest you set up your own dance studio."

"Dance studio?" Shen Xue was unfamiliar with this word.

In the era of the planned economy, singing and dancing actors all aimed to enter large-scale art troupes and singing and dancing troupes, and few people went into business.

Wang Lindao: "You can set up your own team, teach people how to dance, or arrange song and dance programs, and accept commercial performances to make money. In this team, you are the boss, you have the final say!"

Shen Xue was a little moved, but still couldn't make up her mind.

In this day and age, everyone has sharpened their heads and worked in state-owned units, and few people dare to resign and go to sea.

Wang Lin also just wanted her to understand that there are various ways out of life, and it doesn't have to be hanging on a tree.

And to change a person's thinking, or even change her fate, how can one or two sentences be effective?
