Introduction: The Traditional Meaning of Reading
Since ancient times, reading has been regarded as an important way for ordinary people to cross classes. It is like a bridge between ordinary people and the wider world, carrying the expectations and dreams of countless families. The goal of reading, from ancient times to the present, seems to point in one direction - to change destiny through knowledge and achieve a leap in class.
The modern evolution of the purpose of reading
With the change of the times, the purpose of reading is also quietly changing. Although reading is still regarded as a way to cross classes, its connotation has gone far beyond the ancient "learning and excellence". In modern society, reading is not only to acquire knowledge, but also to cultivate comprehensive quality and improve personal ability to cope with the increasingly complex and changeable social environment.
Challenges brought about by the raising of the academic threshold
With the increasing number of college students, the academic threshold is gradually increasing. Many college students find it difficult to find a satisfying job with just a diploma after graduation. In order to make a living, they have to choose to work in jobs that seem unrelated to their majors, such as food delivery and Didi. This phenomenon undoubtedly brings great challenges to ordinary people who hope to change their fate through reading.
The increased cost of reading books and family pressures
At the same time, the cost of reading a book is increasing. From kindergarten to university, and even graduate and doctoral levels, each stage requires a lot of money and time.
For the average family, this is undoubtedly a huge burden. Many families have had to cut back on food and clothing in order to provide for their children's education, and even take on heavy debts. This pressure leaves many families feeling overwhelmed when faced with the question of their children continuing their education.
Advantages and competition for international students
Some families choose to send their children to study abroad. After returning to China, these international students are often able to directly take up positions such as civil servants, and have the advantage of funds and connections. They tend to be more competitive than domestic students when it comes to academics and career choices. This phenomenon has undoubtedly intensified the competitive pressure of domestic students, making it even more challenging for ordinary people who hope to change their fate through reading.
Conclusion: Reading is still an important way to change your destiny
Despite the many challenges and pressures, reading is still an important way for ordinary people to cross classes. It can not only provide us with knowledge and skills, but also cultivate our comprehensive quality and competitiveness.
In this highly competitive society, we need to study harder and constantly improve our abilities to meet the challenges of the future.
We also need to pay attention to social inequalities and work to provide more opportunities and support for those who are disadvantaged. Only in this way can we truly achieve social equity and progress.
