Return To 1977 Chapter 672: Halo


lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

At that time, Su Xiu was thinking about Hong Yanwu with all his heart, reminding Hong Yanru how to prevent problems before they happen. She didn't know that coming to the tourism bureau was actually a helpless move for Shui Lan.

On the other hand, Shui Lan still felt aggrieved precisely because she also felt that four years of college had been in vain. She felt even worse.

I love the "77th" and "78th" batches of "real college students" after the resumption of the college entrance examination. They have attracted much attention since they entered the school and are regarded by the school and the public as the hope of the country's future. Their I don’t know how many people’s expectations are carried on my body.

And they are convinced that they are talented students, and they are gearing up to make a big difference as they approach graduation.

But all this is false prosperity in the spotlight. It is only when they truly enter the society after graduation that they realize what reality is after leaving school. When the dreamy halo around them receded, they could see clearly their true qualities.

Indeed, the units assigned to these two batches of college students by the school were all pretty good. In today’s terms, they were all “high-end” places that ordinary people looked up to. Especially as a student who graduated from a prestigious school, there are even some special considerations.

For example, Shui Lan chose between the "Ministry of Mechanical Engineering" and the "National Academy of Sciences" according to her own wishes, and went to the latter to report for work.

But she didn't expect that because the National Academy of Sciences was overcrowded, it could only arrange a place for her in the academy's archives.

In the new working environment, although the work is easy, it is really not interesting.

Being buried in a pile of newspapers every day, with no chance to stand out and no excitement or fun, made her feel extremely depressed. Therefore, after staying for less than a week, she couldn't stand it anymore and asked her boss to change her position.

I didn’t expect that the leader’s reply was simply impossible.

The leader said that there were many people in the archives who were older than her and more knowledgeable than she was, and there was no way to arrange them yet. If you find your job boring, you can either find a way to be transferred by yourself, or you can just endure it in a down-to-earth manner.

Don’t value intellectuals?

Joke! The most indispensable thing here is intellectuals, and the scientific backbone has been exhausted. Even the associate researcher was a graduate student in the 1950s.

You have to die before you can comment on something new, right?

The policy towards intellectuals is not implemented?

How do you implement it?

Do you know how many research projects that have been approved in the hospital cannot be started? Do you know how many technical backbones don’t even have a small bungalow, and live in two separate places?

If you don’t understand, go and watch the movie “Middle Age” that is being screened outside. Which workplace doesn’t have people like Lu Wenting? But no one can do anything about the problems exposed.

There is only one Chen Jingrun in the world! ……

The leader's words were like lightning and thunder in a violent storm, which almost stunned Shui Lan. And what is particularly chilling is that there is not a single falsehood in it, and the cruelty revealed is all reality.

Originally, Shui Lan thought it was just because he was unlucky and didn't choose the right unit, which was why he ended up like this. After some calculations, she went to find those proud classmates to see if there was a chance to change jobs.

But what she didn't expect was that despite the fact that those people said their work was good or good, how could they be valued by their leaders? But when she came to complain, she found that everyone was in the same situation.

Zhang Juan, who went to the "Fifth National Defense Institute", actually worked as a cashier. Every day I look at the reimbursement receipts for office materials. I haven’t even seen any rockets, satellites, or space dreams, let alone touched them.

Huang Guangliang, who went to the "Mechanical Engineering Department", did deal with leaders every day, but he mostly dealt with the leaders' families.

It turned out that he was assigned to the administrative department, responsible for leading the complicated and trivial affairs of the family building.

It was precisely this opportunity to "get close" to the leader that made him unable to speak out. I run around all day long under the orders of a bunch of old women, and I don't even dare to steal.

And Wang Jing, who finally got her wish and went to China Television Station.

When she meets her classmates, she immediately mentions "our art group." But actually. Her job was to find an electrician while recording a play in the theater, then wait outside until it was over, and then help her colleagues get the equipment back from the stage.

It turns out that no one is much better than anyone else. These people are just talking hard to satisfy their temporary vanity and self-esteem.

Could they be blamed? Everyone wants to save face. Who wants to tell others about their own faults?

Isn’t Shui Lan himself the same? Neither her family nor her family dared to say a word about her real situation in the work unit.

If she didn’t really feel that she would be suffocated if she stayed in her current position, and would become as mediocre as those old comrades who looked like zombies, she would not come to these classmates for help even if she was so proud of herself. of.

But then again. Even they themselves were confused by these truths, so confused that they couldn't believe it was true.

If you tell others the truth, can they believe it?

Was four years of college really in vain? How come there is such a big gap between ideal and reality?

In fact, this problem is not difficult to explain.

Although the starting point of the "77th" and "78th" college graduates is higher than that of ordinary people, it only ensures that they do not have to do physical work after graduation, but it does not make them really like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate. A dramatic change occurred.

Because there are too many people in our country, another population peak has been created. If it weren't for the fact that employment couldn't be solved at all, why would people be sent to the countryside?

And they left in batches at the beginning, but they came back in a centralized manner. In the past few years, Beijing has had to solve the employment problem of millions of educated youths who have returned to the city. If you think about it, you will know how difficult the actual situation is.

Although high-end occupations require people with certain cultural qualities to take on them. But don’t forget, how many intellectuals and leading cadres have been rehabilitated one after another? The reality is that for one full-time job, there are seven or eight deputy positions, and almost all of them occupy seats and do not work.

In addition, during the ten years of the "movement", university campuses have not been idle, and they are still graduating workers, peasants and soldiers every year.

Not to mention that ranking based on seniority is a feature of our system. From a practical perspective, worker, peasant, and soldier students are not as bad as people think.

Although these people were called "half-hearted" college students, there were many jokes passed down by word of mouth later on, such as mathematics majors who couldn't read scales, and Chinese majors with many typos. Even when the person he introduced was a worker, peasant, and soldier student, he said, "You can't introduce me to a fool."

But in all fairness, workers, peasants, and soldiers should not all suffer such criticism and ridicule. Their overall quality is higher than that of ordinary peers.

This is because no matter how many backdoor students there are, no matter how disabled the system is. But most people who can take the initiative to fight for this kind of opportunity are still the best in the crowd and the smart people in the unit.

Those short-sighted and mediocre people who don't like to study and don't seek to make progress simply don't have the confidence and ability to fight for opportunities, and they don't want to cause trouble.

Especially the early days of the "movement" and those after 1974 should be viewed separately.

Since 1974, school curriculum has begun to become more formalized.

By the 1976th session, the curriculum was almost the same as that of the 1977th and 1978th ​​session. Many classes were taken by "worker, peasant, and soldier students" and "regular students" together.

At least the level of worker, peasant and soldier college students in the past three years is similar to that of regular students.

It is precisely because of these objective realities that these worker, peasant, and soldier students have good destinations after graduation. Even because of their excellent political conditions, they have unique advantages in the field of political cadres.

And these people did not do nothing after the college entrance examination was resumed. Some smart people continued their studies and passed the postgraduate entrance examination. There are also some opportunities for cadre training within the unit. Use the experience of party school and cadre school training courses to save the disadvantages.

Anyway, in general, the regular college students of July 7th and July 8th did not have the overwhelming advantage over the workers, peasants and soldiers students as people thought later. In terms of academic qualifications, they may be more valuable, but in terms of first-mover advantage and interpersonal and power-playing qualities, many workers, peasants, and soldiers students overwhelm them.

By the time the so-called winner or loser is determined between the two groups, it will be at least the late 1980s.

This also includes workers, peasants and soldiers who have no successors, many of whom have "whitewashed" themselves with graduate degrees. There are also various factors that cause regular college students to only promote the glamorous side of the group.

So the true objective reality can only be truly understood by those who are in it.

Thousands of words merge into one sentence, our country lacks everything but people.
