The fate of a generation and the mission of each generation

More than a decade ago, when I went to graduate school at a university in South Korea, half of the students in the same year were of nationality other than South Korea, and there were people of all ages of all colors, including those who were proficient in four or five languages.

Compared to Chinese students who generally only speak 2.5-3 languages (Chinese, English, and more or less Korean), these demons are undoubtedly a very global state. Some of the reasons for this are because their parents were diplomats who grew up in the world changing their national lives; some are family structures that are diverse, with fathers in the eastern and western hemispheres, mothers in the northern and southern hemispheres, and so on. So we were envious and under great pressure, thinking about how to compete with these people who won at the starting line after graduation in South Korea, which had a very high youth unemployment rate, and did not give foreigners jobs at all--although it turned out that this part was also my narrow thinking, most of these people ran to another latitude and longitude to put pressure on the locals, and did not intend to stay in South Korea permanently.

So, excitedly, I got up early to learn Japanese. As a result, when I came to work in the largest group in South Korea after graduation, the people around me looked at me like I had watched the demons: How did this person think of learning so many languages, and the pressure was so great? After being beaten by life, you are eligible for Versailles, which is a postscript.

What my master's studies brought me was not knowledge, but that I met these demons and saw an enviable state of life: multilingualism, respect for cultural diversity, adaptation to the natural environment from the Sahara to Everest, and the ability to switch from the natural jungle of the Amazon to the steel jungle of New York. It is a kind of network resource in the world, asset allocation in the world, experience accumulation in the world, and even their own identity is a global state.

And for the goal of achieving such a state, I looked at the children at home, sighed in my heart, and said to her: It depends on you. Ancestors have been farming in the poor mountains and bad waters in the southwest, fighting with Tiandou; my grandfather's generation only entered urbanization and walked from the land to the small town; my father's generation went from the small town to the small town; to me, who relied on the accumulation of virtue in the ancestors, the young people in the small city took the college entrance examination to Beijing, and then went abroad to work three jobs to pay tuition, and desperately went abroad, only to find that there was a group of globalized figures who were far away in the state to grab the job bowl together.

This is also a class, not a social class, but a class in which people's social attributes and scope of existence evolve. The higher you go, the greater the gap between each layer. From the countryside to small cities, to large cities, internationalization to overseas, to overseas big cities, to the big cities of better countries.

Finally, globalization (the interstellarization that Musk and the like opened up I don't want to think about... ）

A generation, with its own destiny and many environmental influences, often involuntarily and hard. Each generation fulfills its mission, consciously or unconsciously, for the next generation. I was stepping on my father's shoulder, and he also relied on my grandfather's backbone. This feeling is especially evident during China's rapid development.

When writing these words, I look at my girlfriend, hoping that she can receive information from the world according to her own wishes, and have the ability to live out what she wants to be anywhere in the world. Because in her father's generation, there were already many people like this.

This damn ultimate resilience.
