Is the college entrance examination fair and everyone equal? Wait! Behind this much-anticipated educational event, there is a hidden "privilege club". They relied on their connections and money to easily get admission tickets that should have belonged to poor students.
And those "small-town problem-solvers" who studied hard in the cold window had to grit their teeth and persist in this unfair competition. When Li Xueqin's college entrance examination fraud is exposed, should we reflect: Is the so-called educational fairness just a beautiful lie?
The entertainment industry is frying again! Li Xueqin's college entrance examination fraud caused public anger
Recently, the entertainment industry has been full of rumors and trees. A news about the fraud of the popular Internet celebrity Li Xueqin in the college entrance examination instantly detonated the entire network.
Li Xueqin, who was once known as the "talented woman of Peking University", is now caught in the whirlpool of public opinion because of a "college entrance examination athlete certificate". The whole network was excited, and the voices of verbal criticism and writing came and went. However, if we look into the reasons carefully, we will find that the spearhead of this public opinion storm is not just directed at Li Xueqin alone.
In the midst of this seething controversy, one voice stands out. A netizen who claimed to have been admitted to Peking University in the same class as Li Xueqin published a long article, whose words were fierce and his emotions were sincere, which was moving.
"I don't know Li, I don't target her personally, but my attitude is: Benxi High School's collective fraud gang has no room for whitewashing. They have bullied all the candidates in Liaoning Province for several years in a row, and how many people's lives have been stolen, which is an unchangeable fact of breaking the law and committing crimes. "
This netizen's complaint expresses the voices of thousands of poor students. Her experience is a mirror of the many injustices that exist in the current education system.
The bloody and tearful accusation of a "fellow student".
This netizen who claims to be the same as Li Xueqin has a typical history of struggle as a "small-town problem-solver". She comes from an extremely poor and remote county in Liaoning Province, and she has never heard of independent enrollment, let alone so many ways to add points.
In the end, she ranked among the top ten in Liaoning Province with a high score of 641 points and was successfully admitted to Peking University. This score is undoubtedly earned by her countless days and nights of hard work.
However, when she learned that someone could easily get extra points in the college entrance examination through special channels, the anger and unwillingness in her heart could not be imagined. In her long article, she wrote:
"How many candidates were squeezed out of places that year? Although I was admitted to Peking University, it seems that I have not been affected. But if I didn't have those so-called extra points, maybe I could have taken a completely different path? "
These words are full of blood and tears, and every sentence is heavy. It is not only an accusation of one person, but also the voice of thousands of poor students.
Under this seemingly fair college entrance examination system, there are still so many black-box operations and unfairness. This is reminiscent of the old saying: "Some people are born with a golden key, but some people have to spend their lives building their own key."
Benxi High School Collective Fraud Case: The Tip of the Iceberg or a Common Phenomenon?
When it comes to college entrance examination fraud, we have to mention the sensational Benxi High School collective fraud case in 2014. At that time, as many as 87 students from Benxi Senior High School in Liaoning Province were eligible for extra points for physical excellence, an anomaly that immediately aroused widespread questioning.
What's even more shocking is that after the relevant departments asked for self-certification, 58 of the 87 people voluntarily gave up their qualifications for extra points. This staggering figure undoubtedly confirms the existence of fraud.
"The issuing agency sold the certificate at Benxi High School at a clear price, which has been reported by many media, and it is also a fact found out by the official."
This netizen's revelation unveiled the tip of the iceberg of college entrance examination fraud. However, we can't help but ask: is this situation an isolated case, or is it a common phenomenon in certain regions?
If the collective fraud case of Benxi High School is a special case, then how to explain the college entrance examination fraud that has been exposed in recent years? From Tong Zhuo's age change incident to Li Xueqin's athlete card turmoil, these events are all challenging our bottom line and constantly consuming the public's confidence in educational fairness.
"The small town is the problem": Behind the ridicule is blood and tears
In this discussion about educational equity, there is one group of people whose voices are particularly weak, but poignant—that is, ordinary students who are called "small-town problem-solvers".
The term "small-town problem-solver" was originally a self-deprecation of some poor students. However, over time, the word has gradually been alienated, and it has become a ridicule and belittlement of the Hanmen disciples by some people.
They are labeled as "only doing exams, rigid thinking, never seen the world, not knowing how to be flexible, and low emotional intelligence". This prejudice comes not only from society, but sometimes even from their peers.
But what about the real situation? Today, when educational resources are seriously skewed, these "small-town problem-solvers" not only have to face the pressure of learning, but also suffer the dilemma of serious lack of social resources.
Many of them may have never set foot in their small towns, participated in any extracurricular training, and had no access to the rich cultural resources of big cities. The only thing they can do is to study as hard as they can under limited conditions, and chase the opportunity that may change their fate.
Their efforts should have been respected and commended. However, the reality is that they not only have to face the hardships of studying, but also have to endure discrimination and ridicule from society. How unfair!
The shamelessness of the privileged: why do you use privileges even when you are already superior?
When discussing the issue of educational equity, we have to mention a puzzling phenomenon: why do those who are already well-off continue to use their privileges?
Take the Tong Zhuo incident as an example. In 2020, the new Internet celebrity inadvertently revealed in a live broadcast that when he took the college entrance examination in 2013, he changed his identity as a former student to a new graduate through some means. This remark caused an uproar and eventually led to his disqualification from taking the college entrance examination.
However, what is embarrassing is that even after such a scandal, Tong Zhuo can still be active in the entertainment industry as an Internet celebrity singer and continue to make profits. This makes one sigh: the privileged class always seems to have a way of carving out a unique path for themselves.
This phenomenon reflects a deeper problem: some people have become accustomed to taking advantage of privilege and even taking it for granted. They may not think they are doing anything wrong, because in their world, that's the rules of the game.
However, we must recognize that this "rule of the game" is based on trampling on fairness and justice. It not only harms the interests of ordinary people who work hard, but also challenges the fairness and justice of the whole society.
Netizens are hotly discussed: There are different opinions and different opinions
This incident quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet, and various opinions emerged.
Some netizens think that Li Xueqin's behavior is really despicable: "As a public figure, she should play an exemplary role." Fraud in the gaokao is not only a deception to the education system, but also an insult to all students who work hard to prepare for the exam. "
Some netizens also expressed their understanding: "In that environment at that time, many people may make the same choice." What matters is how well she is doing now, and she should not judge her past behavior by her current moral standards. "
Some netizens analyzed this issue from a more macro perspective: "Although individual behavior is worthy of criticism, it is more important to reflect on the entire education system." Why is there such a vulnerability? How can we truly achieve equity in education?"
A netizen who claims to be an educator put forward his own opinion: "The college entrance examination bonus policy is intended to be good, but it is indeed abused in the implementation process. What we need is a stricter, more transparent regulatory mechanism, not simply removing all bonus policies. "
Another netizen linked this issue to a broader social phenomenon: "This is not just a problem in the field of education, but a common problem in the whole society. As long as there is privilege, there will be people who will take advantage of it. What we need is comprehensive social reform and the establishment of a truly fair and just social environment. "
Written at the end: call for educational equity and look forward to social progress
Looking back on the whole article, we can see that the controversy caused by Li Xueqin's college entrance examination fraud incident actually reflects the deep-seated contradictions in our society on the issue of educational fairness.
From the collective fraud case in Benxi High School, to Tong Zhuo's age change incident, to Li Xueqin's athlete card turmoil, this series of incidents are all challenging our bottom line and constantly consuming the public's confidence in educational fairness.
However, we cannot let that stop us from hope. On the contrary, these events should serve as a motivation for us to reflect and improve. We need better systems, stricter regulation, and a fairer social environment.
At the same time, we should also give more respect and support to those hard-working "small-town problem-solvers". Their dedication and persistence are truly worthy of our praise.
Finally, I would like to throw out a question for you to ponder: What can each of us do in the pursuit of educational equity? Will the day come when we can truly achieve equal educational opportunities for all?
