Twenty years ago, it was such an honorable thing for a family to have a college student. But now, there are college students everywhere, who work in factories after graduation, with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, and many parents think that in this era, reading is useless.
When Peng Gaosing, the "school flower of Peking University", ended his career in Beipiao and returned to his hometown to sell stinky tofu, the topic of "the uselessness of reading" was once again pushed to the hot search.
"Even the top students of Peking University have come to sell stinky tofu, what's the point of studying?"
When Peng Gao's singing and selling stinky tofu made headlines in major media, many people doubted the meaning of reading, and some people ridiculed her: "After reading books for so many years, I didn't come to sell stinky tofu." ”
Some people also say: "Born at the wrong time......"
Of course, more people just watch the lively mentality, after all, it's not about herself, she can do whatever she wants.
But is Peng Gaosing really just selling stinky tofu?
Through the understanding of Peng Gaosing, you will find that even if she sells stinky tofu, she is better than ordinary people.
Just changing careers has already made her earn enough eyeballs, and is she still worried that the stinky tofu business is not good?
Before becoming the "School Flower of Peking University", Peng Gaosing also had a resounding title, that is, "Yali Scholar", Yali Middle School is one of the top schools in Hunan, and the people who can become the top students of that school are ranked in the top three.
Peng Gao can not only read, but also sing, dance, speak English fluently, and have no pressure to talk to foreigners. But that's not all about her, she also played the piano well, and even went to Austria to participate in piano performances.
can sing and dance, play and sing, she can do it all. Before the college entrance examination, she was escorted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.
After entering Peking University, with her outstanding appearance, she became the school flower, and her appearance was not lower than that of a star.
Since you have this advantage, it's also fun to break into the entertainment industry.
After graduation, she was unwilling to become an elite in the workplace, and began to frequently participate in beauty contests, participate in variety shows, shoot TV series, and try all the jobs she could think of.
But half-heartedly, it is better to take root in one field. At that time, Peng Gaosing didn't expect that he didn't succeed in doing anything, but his life experience had increased a lot.
It's sad to be an actor and not be popular. However, her career is hopeless, but her relationship has been settled, she married a Taiwanese actor named Ren Siqi, even if she is not popular, she has to rely on.
Maybe it's because there is no sense of belonging in the life of Beipiao, maybe it's that the wanderer misses her hometown, and the 13-year career in Beipiao makes her anxious to return to her hometown.
If you want to gain a firm foothold in your hometown, how can you do it without a body?
When Ren Siqi took her back to her hometown, she had an idea after tasting the local delicacies, and decided to go home and sell stinky tofu.
Soon after, she ended her 13-year career in Beipiao, returned to Hunan, and opened a stinky tofu with Taiwanese characteristics.
"Peking University's top students have been reduced to selling stinky tofu." What a big incident this is! All of a sudden, Peng Gaosing has become a negative teaching material, and many people say that it is useless to study, and it is not to sell stinky tofu when he comes out.
Some people also say that it's useless to be beautiful, people who have been celebrities have gone to set up stalls, and modern society is getting more and more rolled.
In the face of doubts, Peng Gaosing said calmly: "Whoever said that if you go to university, you must be more white-collar workers, and who said that Peking University must become an elite when you come out, I just want to live a life that is not defined." ”
In the past 13 years, she has seen too many successful people, and she has also come into contact with people at different levels, some of them are penniless, but they are very accomplished, and some are entangled in their families, but they are like walking dead. Success in the worldly sense really can't be described in terms of money and a good job.
In her eyes, life should not be defined, and there is no standard for success.
People live a lifetime, the picture is to be happy, do what they love, be useful to the society, create greater value, to feel different lives, to experience the ups and downs, to be more meaningful.
Perhaps in the eyes of the vast majority of parents, Peng Gaosing's choice is "deviant", but it is precisely because of her "rebellion" that she has gained a wonderful life, and this life experience cannot be bought with more money.
Is it really useless to read? Not necessarily.
Reading can broaden our horizons, expand our thinking, teach us to discern whether it is or not, enhance courage and self-confidence, and have the confidence to maintain an upward climbing posture when we are at a low point in life.
Although we don't have as high an education as Peng Gaosing, nor do we have as good looks as her, and we don't have open-minded parents like her, we can have a heart of continuous exploration and curiosity, because only in this way can we appreciate a different beauty.
