Chapter 960 Pure Precious
In China, why do adults in the family want their children to study hard and then take the college entrance exam. The best is good, the worst is bad... at least it is also a university.
Why do adults care so much about the three words "college students"?
Want your son to become a dragon? Want your daughter to become a phoenix?
Do they think getting into college will be the only way out?
Because of the country's propaganda, reading changes life, knowledge changes destiny, and technology is the primary productive force?
Or, something else...
In ancient times, people had different feelings about reading. There was a saying in ancient times: Everything is inferior, but reading is superior.
At that time, people thought that all industries were low and that only studying and entering the government was the right way.
Studying was also the best way for poor disciples in ancient times to get rid of poverty. Countless poor students passed the imperial examinations and eventually entered the court and became officials, and became celebrating marquis and ministers, which became a chant for generations.
Even if you fail to enter the palace in the end, or even have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination, the provincial examination, and even if you only pass the academic examination and obtain the status of a scholar, it is enough to shine the family and make the neighbors around you look up to you.
In ancient times, there was a saying that the word "poverty and sorrow" means poverty, but as long as the word "scholar" is added to the following word "scholar" is enough to exempt the labor service, and the privileges such as not kneeling when the magistrate does not kneel, and the punishment of the doctor is not imposed.
In modern times, if you want to enter the system and become an official, you need a diploma. If you want to enter a large enterprise and a large company, you need a diploma. If you want to be a doctor, you need a diploma. If you want to become an actor, you are even classified as a lower-ranking actor in ancient times, you also need a diploma. If you graduate from the Beijing Film Academy's Performance Department and be born in a professional class, you will be better at starting points than others.
So in modern times, a diploma equals a good job equals money equals a bright future.
Adults all hope that their children can have a better future, so they hope that their children can study hard, get into college, and create better job opportunities for their future.
Then there is another very important thing, compared to children who don’t know anything, adults know that after children enter society, many things will not necessarily result even if you work hard. Even if there are results, they may not necessarily be what you hope, or in other words, they will not be proportional to your efforts.
Due to various differences in conditions and various unspoken rules of society, everyone no longer has a fair opportunity to compete.
For wealthy and powerful families, their children can compete with their fathers, power, money, connections, and background.
For children from 99% of the country's families, the only thing they can fight for is themselves. Because their parents and elders cannot provide them with the ability to compete for their father, power, money, connections, and background.
The college entrance examination and college entrance examination will be the last time in children's lives. There will be a group of peers fighting with you, everyone standing on the same starting line, facing the same competitive environment, with teachers leading you to work hard and parents being your strong support behind you, and you can achieve relatively excellent results through hard work.
The value of the college entrance examination lies in its purity. As long as you work hard, you will definitely gain the opposite results.
This is the last chance for 99% of families in the country to give their children a fair competition, so countless parents cherish it so much.
And why is my mother? Zhang Kun doesn’t know.
The scenery outside the window flies away. At around 4 o'clock in Lin Chen, the train arrived at the station. When Zhang Kun left the train station, it was still dark. The sky was shining with stars. It should be two hours before dawn. The sun rises late in early spring.
At this time, there were no taxis waiting for passengers outside the railway station, but Zhang Kun did not plan to wait here until dawn, even if the cold wind was blowing outside, at least the wind was blocked in the railway station.
Zhang Kun walked alone on the dark street, hiking towards Taixian Town. Under the dim street lights, Zhang Kun's shadow was pulled for a long time.
Zhang Kun's steps were very fast and his strong body allowed him to trot even if he just strides, he could trot the speed of others.
At this time, Zhang Kun was eager to go home, so he returned to his mother and asked why she wanted to go to college. If her mother still hoped to go to college well...
The dewdrops in the morning drooped on the grass leaves. When the first red glow flew out of the horizon, Zhang Kun came to Taixian Town. After another half an hour of walking, Zhang Kun finally arrived at the village where his grandmother was.
Walking on the familiar path, Zhang Kun did not have the happy expression as before, and he was even more hesitant in his heart.
Before he stepped into the yard, Zhang Kun could see from a distance, sitting on a small wooden stool under the eaves, holding a garlic peeling in his hand, and a crutch that his grandmother often used was standing on the wall next to him.
Zhang Kun walked to the gate of the yard, took a deep breath, then stepped into the gate, and shouted softly at his grandmother.
"grandmother."
However, Zhang Kun's voice was not responded. Grandma still lowered her head and slowly peeled the garlic with her wrinkled hands.
But at this moment, my mother suddenly walked out of the kitchen door next to her, holding a spatula in one hand, wearing an apron, and staring at the boss: "You little brat, do you know how to come back?"
Listening to my mother's gritting teeth, the grandmother who had been sitting raised her head and looked at the yard gate, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on her face: "It's Zhang Kun who is back."
"Grandma." Zhang Kun nodded with a smile, then looked at his grandmother who seemed to want to pick up the crutch beside him and stood up. Zhang Kun quickly took two steps, came to his grandmother and carefully supported him.
Only then did Zhang Kun remember that his grandmother's hearing was not very good, and she could no longer hear the too small sound.
After waiting for Zhang Kun to help his grandmother carefully, his mother stared at Niu Da's eyes and said fiercely: "You little brat, you will come back after the Lantern Festival. As a result, it's been a month since you haven't seen a single figure. Tell me, where have you gone crazy this month?"
Listening to my mother's bad words, Zhang Kun showed a silly smile on his face, and then turned around and looked around: "Where is Lixue?"
"Lixue? Are you embarrassed to ask? You don't even look at what time it is now. Lixue has gone to school. Do you think you are like you, doing nothing all day long, wandering around everywhere." My mother said angrily.
"Is school started?" Zhang Kun was stunned.
"It's already March, okay? The school has been almost a month since it started. Also, don't change the topic to me. You've explained it clearly to me. How has it gone crazy this month? If you don't give me an explanation today, this matter is not over." My mother suddenly pinched Zhang Kun's ear, then twisted it hard, and said loudly.
