this man is not calm

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 that many people's thinking is still stuck in the old age.

In the past few years, higher vocational colleges in many areas of the country had admission scores higher than those of local full-time ordinary high schools, and even higher than those of key high schools and demonstration high schools. Can you believe it?

This is the necessity of economic development in special times. The social level is too urgent for skilled workers and professional talents who have received basic education and mastered a skill. In addition, it is too difficult to continue to study. Many rural families simply cannot afford a college student. It's better to learn some skills earlier, find a reliable job, and earn some money to subsidize the family.

In the age of early marriage and early childbearing, it is unrealistic to expect a poor family to have a long-term vision.

In addition, traditional industries such as coal, chemical industry, steel, and metallurgy used to be the most desirable hard-core fields in the minds of Chinese people, but they do not know that these have gone downhill for many years. When these faltering heavy industrial enterprises are still the kind of golden rice bowl in a small city with all internal organs.

Hospitals, guest houses, canteens, movie theaters, parks, and playgrounds; kindergartens, elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools are all in one, and there are various preferential policies for going to college; even many large-scale factories have police stations, where serious policemen maintain Security in the factory.

Being in it, life, old age, sickness and death can be accounted for in it for the rest of your life. That is the real factory as your home, not a picture of the boss fooling the employees into working overtime.

Putting it back in the past, entering this kind of unit was a great event for ordinary families, and there was no need to worry about the marriage of the youngest in the family.

Now, this situation is changing, but many people's ideas have not been reversed, and they still cut their heads and drill in. It is strange that the future will end well.

Of course, it is impossible for Jin Shang to really go against the will of the masses, so he can only hint at it in a circumstantial way.

"You mean, if you can choose science, you should choose science as much as possible. New technologies, new materials, electrical power, information engineering, computers, etc. are the first choice. Basic subjects such as mathematics, physics and chemistry should be cautious and try to choose applied science?"

Wu Chan roughly summed it up, confirmed it with Jin Shang, and got a relatively positive answer.

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

Jin Shang smiled implicitly and shook his head,

"Unless they are really passionate and willing to contribute silently to the construction of the motherland, most students are actually not suitable to take this path, because... various reasons, they can't persevere! I respect and admire every student who spends all their youth. , and even those who have devoted their entire lives to the cause of science. Specifically, for every student, before stepping into that gate, please double-check whether you have awakened and are ready."

Sacrifice in peaceful times does not necessarily involve bloodshed and tears, but may also be hard work, obscurity, a lifetime of futile work, and depressing old age.

To engage in basic scientific research, in addition to talent and inspiration, the rest is continuous investment, continuous trial and error, fighting against unknown enemies, and constantly expanding the boundaries of human cognition.

"From the bottom of my heart, I don't really appreciate Xiaojin's relatively negative remarks. However, it may be good advice to parents and students. Every child's talent and disposition are different. We must respect individual will and at the same time Considering the practical difficulties..."

Wu Chan explained relatively veiledly that some of Jin Shang's remarks were more explicit, and they were likely to attract criticism later, so they were confined to the scope of the family's words to avoid unnecessary troubles as much as possible.

"About liberal arts, is there anything else to add?"

"I don't know too much. From my personal observations, except for archaeology, geography, philosophy, psychology, economics and other subjects that are particularly unpopular, hard-working, and difficult to find a job, you should apply carefully. Others depend on your personal preferences. .”

"Can't you pick a better direction?"

"Um……"

After thinking for a while, Jin Shang still ordered a few relatively sure ones,
"Education and preschool education should be a relatively safe field. Given the population size and growth rate, the future demand is quite large; foreign language majors, there should be no risk of decline within 20 years, and the trend of globalization is irreversible. Whether it is translation or Teaching is very good; journalism and communication and advertising marketing should also have a good prospect, but this line depends on whether you can adapt to it; in addition, financial accounting and digital multimedia technology are not bad. I hope that I can help everyone with my personal income after starting my own business..."

Wu Chan replied very alertly:
"Different from popular fields such as medicine, law, economics, and management in everyone's traditional cognition, young people now seem to be more optimistic about emerging industries and keep up with the development needs of the times. This is also a very good idea. Regarding the college entrance examination, volunteering And professional, do you two have anything else to add?"

Lu Liao, who had little to do with him, answered easily:
"Keep calm, rational and focused, but don't pay too much attention to the point of being overwhelmed by the weight; the abnormal performance of the college entrance examination, not as expected, does not mean that the future is bleak, and it does not mean that the good university and major you want The future is worry-free; in the future, everything is possible..."

After saying a few words of encouragement, when it was Jin Shang's turn, he simply spread his hands,

"You have finished talking, what else can I say? The road is long and difficult, but the progress is coming; if you do not stop, the future can be expected. Study, work hard, and struggle, we all have a bright future!"

This is the end of the topic about study and the college entrance examination. Finally, about dreams, it is the link between Jin Shang and Lu Liao.

"Finally, before entering the questioning session of the audience guests, the two of you can have a good discussion about each other's views on the future. It has nothing to do with the past, family, praise or criticism. Talk about what you will look like in the future, or hope for the future world. What will it look like? This time, Xiao Lu will tell you first..."

After hearing the words, Lu Liao looked at his relatives and friends on the sidelines, and then at Lu Liao and Wu Chan who were waiting for his narration. He stroked his hair that was too long before saying seriously:

"My dream is to be free and live my life with enthusiasm. When people mention me, they will say enviously: Lu Liao is really an enviably happy guy."

"Take a leisurely walk in your life, and you can still be famous in history when it's over?"

Jin Shangyan's succinct words made Lu Liao's eyes light up:
"Right, that is it!"

"When you came, you were crying, and your relatives and friends were laughing; when you left, your relatives and friends were crying, and you still wanted to smile at Jiuquan? Others don't have so many things, but you ask so much! I thought I was greedy enough, I didn't expect you to be thicker than me."

Jin Shang couldn't help being amused,
"Go on, I'll see what shameless things you can say..."

"Why are you so shameless?"

Lu Liao responded to Jin Shang's ridicule dumbfounded, and then continued to explain,

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

"Life is short, come and go in a hurry! However, you don't seem to be an advocate of carpe diem, but an activist who hopes to cherish the present, cherish the time and fate, live up to your youth, and create a future!"

"Isn't this a matter of course? Dropping out of school is not because you are afraid of difficulties, but because you have something more you want to do!"

"Then your dream is a little hard to come true! After a wonderful life, it's okay to work hard, and your name will go down in history..."

Jin Shang smiled and shook his head,
"A person will die three times in his life. The first time is the death of the body, which is a physical and medical death; the second time is a funeral, which is death in society; No one remembers you, what you have done, the traces of your activities have completely disappeared. If you want to prolong the value of existence and life as much as possible, being famous in history is almost the only hope..."

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

Although Jin Shang's words are a bit strange, but now is not the time to ponder them carefully, Lu Liao quickly responded,

"If it's not difficult, is it still called a dream? That is the highest goal worth fighting for a lifetime..."

"That's right! A bit arrogant, but, young man, don't be a little arrogant, are you still young!"

Jin Shang pondered for a while, and agreed with Lu Liao's statement,

"The fleeting years are clear and shallow, may you be safe, may the time be gentle, and may the years never be wasted!"

"Thank you!"

Since dropping out of school, Lu Liao has really endured a lot of pressure, and even his relatives don't understand all of it.

Although Jin Shang, a peer of the same age, speaks harshly and is not polite at all, he always points out his weaknesses and mistakes to the point, and even expresses his likes and dislikes unabashedly.But there is no slack in praise for qualities that are truly appreciated.

It has been a long time since I heard such a sincere and positive evaluation, and the depression in Lu Liao's heart has also eased a lot.

The two had a slight conflict in their cognition, but overall they were relatively harmonious. Wu Chan also nodded in approval, and then asked Jin Shang:
"What about you, what is your dream for the future? Since there are differences, there must be a big difference, right?"

"change the world!"

Jin Shang spoke very solemn words in a relatively flat tone,

"Since I was a child, I have been precocious and always misfit with the people around me. There seems to be a voice in the dark persuading me to change myself as soon as possible and reconcile with the world, so that I can live a more comfortable life. However, it is a pity that so many years have passed. Now, I'm still that twisted boy who would rather compete with himself than compromise. Since the world has not succeeded in changing me, then it's my turn to change the world..."

Come and go!
In the past, people were small and weak, but now it is different. You can try to punch the world.

Seeing Jin Shang exaggerating more than himself, Lu Liao couldn't help laughing:
"Your dream, you can really only think about it in your dream. The world is there, it has always been like this, and it's not aimed at you..."

"It's always been like this, shouldn't it be changed? When I say change the world, I don't mean to prove anything. It's just because I don't like it, and I want him to be 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 shorts, swimwear, sunglasses and a sunhat for summer vacation next month, so I can only go to shopping malls or clothing stores to pick them up on the spot..."

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

"It's a hot day, and I don't want to go out and mess around. If I can buy online, place an order directly, and the courier will deliver it to my door the next day. Wouldn't it be great to be able to buy things that the world loves without leaving home?"

"is it possible?"

"Why is it impossible?"

Jin Shang shrugged very easily,

"More than that, I think the Internet can be used for food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, and entertainment. Ordering food, checking hotels, renting houses, checking bus routes, buying movie tickets, organizing group trips, making friends, job hunting, etc., and even, I hope there are One day when I was wondering whether to put soy sauce or sugar in my tofu nao at home, I posted an article asking for help on the Internet, and thousands of netizens all over the world gave me advice, how grand would that be?"

After going back and forth in my mind, I still couldn't come up with what Jin Shang said. Wu Chan couldn't help laughing a few times, and was about to ask a few questions, when Lu Liao rushed to ask:

"Is it sugar or soy sauce?"

"What do you think?"

"soy sauce!"

"Heretic, our friendship has come to an end today."

"That thing has never happened between us."

Wu Chan interrupted the verbal debate between the two, dumbfounded, and persuaded:
"Is this the point? Talk more about the future, about dreams..."

All jokes aside, Jin Shang still explained his thoughts in detail.

"Maybe I think differently from ordinary people. Since I was a child, I have had less direct communication with the outside world, so it is always very inconvenient to get along with each other at close range. For example, it was difficult to install a phone in the past, but now I have a mobile phone. I feel much less anxious, and it has become a habit to call when I have something to do..."

After a pause, Jin Shang continued to explain,
"When I am alone, I occasionally listen to music and watch movies, but no matter what is broadcast on TV or radio, I can only accept what it broadcasts, and I am not free at all. Videotapes, tapes and CDs, etc. The equipment is big and heavy, which is very inconvenient. If everything is moved to the Internet, I can order whichever TV series I want to watch, and watch it from beginning to end in one sitting.
