Perhaps it was because he passed the test of the Xu family's old man. Others in the Xu family did not have too much difficulty with Yu Fan. Yu Fan, who had calmed down, also learned more about the Xu family through conversations with everyone. There are four men in the second generation of the Xu family. The eldest Xu Chaoping, the second eldest Xu Chaolin, the third eldest Xu Chaoguo. As for the fourth eldest Xu Chaoyang, there is a lot of age difference between him and his three brothers. Even if we put it in terms of seniority, I'm afraid. No one would compare him with the other three. At least that's what Yu Fan thinks.
The third generation of the Xu family made Yu Fan discover a strange phenomenon. That is, there are relatively few men. There is only one man among the third generation. Xu Heng, the third generation of the Xu family, is a junior student at Yunching University. The son of Xu Chaolin, the second eldest son of the Xu family, and the other eldest and third eldest children, including Xu Chaoyang, all gave birth to daughters. This made Yu Fan feel surprised.
China has always had the custom of favoring boys over girls. Although it has now entered an era of gender equality, many important leadership positions in the system from the central to local governments are held by female comrades. And these female leaders are in their respective They have also made outstanding achievements in their workplaces. But it has to be said that, judging from the overall number, the proportion of such people is really too small.
Judging from the Xu family's own situation, all four members of the second generation of the Xu family work in government departments. However, in the third generation, only Xu Heng is left. For the Xu family, it does put them in a very embarrassing situation. According to Yu Fan's understanding, this situation of the Xu family is very common among the red families of the Republic.
At the beginning of the reform and opening up, in view of China's rapid increase in population, China's second generation leadership group promptly proposed the national policy of family planning for population control. Yu Fan, who was born at the grassroots level, has a deep understanding of this national policy. .As far as the preference for boys over girls is concerned, this mentality is particularly serious in rural areas.
When he was a child, Yu Fan still grew up in his hometown village. Situations such as cow-raising, steakhouses, and even compulsory measures would be staged in the village from time to time. The chaotic situation at that time was for Yu Fan as a child. .The memory is particularly profound. I remember that in Yujia Village at that time, almost every family had a "super birth". It was almost a fantasy at that time to have only one child in a family. In Yu Fan's life, In my memory, there were at least two childhood playmates in each family. Even Yu Fan’s own family was no exception. There were two brothers. The younger brother Yu Wei fell into the category of superborn. I heard from my grandparents that in the beginning, I still found someone to help me get through. .In the end, I had to pay a lot of fines to settle the matter.
In everyone's memory, the most uproarous place for family planning is in rural areas. Of course, this is also true, because at that time, rural China had the most concentrated population in the country, and it was also the most stubborn about the idea of carrying on the family line. .What everyone doesn’t understand is that the most strict implementation of this basic national policy is in government departments across the country. This is actually easy to understand. Just look at the situation of the children of leaders at all levels at that time.
Thirty years of reform and opening up have passed. Looking back at China's arduous journey over the past thirty years, it is not difficult to see that the process of turning from weak to strong in these thirty years has two basic supporting points. One is of course the persistence of reform and opening up. The other is It is the basic national policy of family planning. The relationship between the two is a bit like increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. While controlling population growth, it also develops economic construction. From a directional point of view, these two supporting points will undoubtedly become the rapid economic development of China. Develop a solid backing.
Heroes are judged by their success or failure. This has been the case since ancient times. No matter how good the policy is, if it fails in the end, it will be criticized to pieces. As for the process and the like, it is just an excuse for the loser. With the development of China Rise. We have told some people with the fact that we have become stronger. No matter how you criticize us, we just developed ourselves at the right time and with the right policies. And now we are developing very well. Some people seem to be closed. Instead of wasting too much energy and attention on us, why not take good care of your own situation. Your current situation does not seem to be good.
China has a long history. It is so long that we, the younger generations, can only understand what happened to our ancestors through history books. We can learn a lot by taking history as a mirror. No matter how feudal the feudal dynasties in history were, they rose and prospered. Decline. There are many things we can understand, many things we can learn from, and many things we can change. For example, the family relationship.
No matter how big a country is, it is always people who manage it. People all have their own desires. No one is perfect. No matter how great it is, there will always be times when you or your family think about it. For ordinary people For people, this is normal. But for some leading cadres who have power, a small step may lead to a huge difference. Especially those of the older generation who have made great contributions to the country and the cause of national liberation. People. It is true that they are a generation worthy of our respect and pride. No one can ignore their achievements.
Things always have two sides. It is precisely because of the greatness of the older generation that what people now call "red children" inevitably emerged. And the term "red family" came into being. The younger generations inherit the ancestors. There seems to be such a tradition in China. Everything parents do is to lay a good foundation for their children. The "second generation of officials" and "second generation of rich people" in today's society come from this. Of.
I don’t know if it is a coincidence or a spark of wisdom from the older generation of great men. Thirty years have passed since the reform and opening up. The older generation of great men have gradually left us. The "red children" have also gradually faded out of our sight. They appear occasionally. The few times they happened can only arouse our nostalgia for the great men of the older generation. The Chinese political arena has gone through several changes up to now, and the so-called "red family" has reappeared. In fact, it is okay to call them "the second generation of officials".
China has an ancient civilization and a long history. Looking at the ancient civilizations that are far away from us and in decline, we can find that whenever China is in the most critical situation, there will always be some people who will come forward. Such people will be called great men by us younger generations. Please never use our wisdom to measure them. Because they are all the embodiment of the Chinese spirit. They are the soul of the Chinese spirit.
Coming out of Xu's house, Yu Fan and Lin Ning sat in the car without saying a word. Lin Ning was excited because of today's family recognition. Many things needed to be sorted out. But Yu Fan was because of Xu Chaoyang's words before leaving. He was laughing and feeling depressed. Before getting into the car, Xu Chaoyang patted Yu Fan on the shoulder. His eyes looked like he was looking at his younger generation. Yu Fan knew what he wanted to say without even opening his mouth. He turned around and got in without even thinking about it. In the car, he still heard Xu Chaoyang chuckle, which made him feel depressed.
After gradually getting used to such rare leisure days, Yu Fan finally received the notice of the opening of the Party School. But the double happiness was that Xu Chaoyang also informed him that he could go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This made Yu Fan feel a little shocked. Or he didn't come. .Or the two of them come together. What is this thing?
From Lin Dongfang, Yu Fan got a better understanding of this one-year party school study. The party school class at the deputy department level. All serving cadres must take off their posts to study. Of course, temporary posts in ministries and commissions like Yu Fan are still allowed. From Lin Dongfang, Yu Fan also learned that this matter seemed to be jointly initiated by some old comrades. The central leadership also attached great importance to it. This can be seen from the actual leading cadres of the deputy office and main office transferred this time. There are clues. The central leadership wants to start pilot projects with these people to accumulate experience for more complete party education work in the future.
After all, it is a national ministry. The various tedious departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made Yu Fan, who has been working at the grassroots level, a bit eye-opening. Looking at his title of deputy director of the Translation Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Yu Fan also felt a wry smile in his heart. Although it was just a I have a temporary job, but below me are master's students and even doctoral students in various languages from famous universities in the country. And look at myself. An undergraduate from a not-so-third-rate university is leading such people. Thinking about it makes people laugh or cry.
It seems that he has to study hard. He sighed. Yu Fan couldn't help but murmur in his heart. He thought that some time ago, he seemed to have asked Qiao Xian to help the master's and doctoral program in his party school. He didn't know what happened to him. But I have never been there once. It seems that I need to ask carefully. This issue of academic qualifications is indeed embarrassing sometimes. Although he does not think that the 'master's' or 'doctoral' qualifications on some leadership certificates are really true. The materials are solid. But some problems have to be faced all the time. This is the flaw of the leaders within the system.
After completing the application procedures for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was time for Yu Fan to report to the Party School. Lin Ning was the most dissatisfied about this matter. According to her plan, Yu Fan was finally able to relax this time. He should be able to spend time with her. After the birth of the child, but the plan could not keep up with the change, it was just a temporary job. One year of off-duty study at the party school shattered her dream. For this reason, no matter how Yu Fan coaxed or explained, Lin Ning still She complained about him for a long time. Fortunately, not long after, Lin Ning's attention was attracted by Ruan Mingyan and other women.
Speaking of Ruan Mingyan and Xu Hong, Lin Ning has always been in contact with them. It is strange to say that since several women had children, Yu Fan began to become dispensable, especially after returning to China. Although there are still some meetings, the number of meetings is very few. Especially after Ruan Mingyan handed over the company to his two younger brothers, they spent more and more time abroad, and the opportunities for them to meet were few and far between. There are fewer and fewer of them. However, the connection between them and Lin Ning has never been broken. Even a few days ago, Lin Ning talked enviously about the lives of several women abroad in front of Yu Fan. There was a scene. Going abroad made Yu Fan dumbfounded.
