In the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, those who were admitted to secondary schools were even more "precious" than today's college students, the pride of the school, and the celebrities in the village.
Many people, who graduated from junior high school, were directly admitted to secondary school, and some people went to secondary school after graduating from high school. Secondary school, limited quota, the results should be particularly excellent. In junior high school, those who can win the first prize go to secondary school, and those who are behind the grades go to high school. There are also schools that need to grab the quota of secondary school.
Secondary schools, there are teachers, health schools, industrial schools, agricultural schools, etc., after graduation, students return to their hometowns, can find a job in the system, for example, as teachers, township cadres, state-owned enterprise workers and so on. In fact, the moment you are admitted to a secondary school, it means that the "jumping the farm door" is successful, and the fate has changed dramatically.
The day before yesterday, he had dinner with his childhood playmate He Minghua, perhaps because he had drunk a few more drinks, and suddenly he talked more, and he was usually relatively silent.
He said: "When I chose to go to secondary school, it seems that it is really a very humiliating thing now. I said, "You're all deputy township chiefs now, what's there to hold back?" Can't you be worse than those of us who work? ”
He Minghua is forty-six years old this year, if he has been mixing within the system, a deputy section level cadre, it will also reach the "ceiling". There are still so many township and town cadres of his age that they cannot even mix with cadres at the section level.
Thirty years ago, He Minghua was admitted to the regional agricultural school with the first place in the whole school and the twenty-third place in the county. On the day he got the notice, He Minghua's parents set off a long firecracker in front of their home, and the sound of firecrackers in the ravine echoed for a long time. Neighbors and neighbors all rushed to congratulate, and the village secretary also came to say hello and sent a big red envelope.
In the words of the village party secretary, He Minghua was the first middle school student in the village to pass the exam and jump out of the farm. The people in the village were very envious of He Minghua, and finally stopped working with their backs to the sky facing the loess soil; the school gate was also posted with good news, and He Minghua became a model for all the students to learn.
He Minghua said: "I really can't figure out how our agricultural school has become a wasteland." "Because the agricultural school and the urban area are more than ten kilometers away, more than ten years ago, the school was closed. On the one hand, the school graduates are no longer allocated, resulting in difficulties in enrollment; on the other hand, the secondary school diploma is becoming less and less gold-containing. Now, many people think that only students who "can't get into any university" reluctantly go to secondary school, and when they get to school, they are mixed up.
Secondary schools, which used to be "rare", are now "too general". Secondary school students, who used to be infinite scenery, are now often discriminated against. It is good to work in the system, after all, there are more secondary school students, a large number of post-60s, post-70s, are secondary school students graduated and assigned to the system. If you are mixed in society, the secondary school diploma, take it out, no one has a serious look at it, many enterprises recruit workers, in addition to the general workers, do not recruit secondary school students, at least, to have a full-time college diploma or above, or even undergraduate, master's degree.
In fact, many secondary schools were later merged into other colleges and universities, or became local junior high schools and high school campuses. Today's secondary school graduates, high or low, the starting point of life, at the bottom of society. Thirty years ago, secondary school students, looking back at the road they have traveled, and then looking at their current life, are actually still at the bottom of society.
Secondary school students no longer have the advantage of competition in the system, and they should be satisfied if they can mix with cadres at the section level; it is rare that they can mix cadres at or above the department level. Some secondary school students, who have not been working in the enterprise for a few years, have been laid off, and the scenery of that year has long ceased to exist.
If you are admitted to secondary school, you can change from farming to non-farming, you can have a town hukou, and after graduation, you can have a decent job. Such treatment is very attractive to people in an ordinary family.
Especially for rural children, reading is an important channel to change their destiny. Because every household is not rich, being able to directly enter secondary school from junior high school can save a large amount of tuition, and parents are looking forward to their children to have such a "job".
When I was in secondary school, the school had some living allowances, and the tuition fees were not expensive. Parents talk about their children going to secondary school, and they are also very face-saving. If the children of anyone's family, after finishing secondary school, are assigned to work in townships, it is even more remarkable, and a family is "full of brilliance".
After graduating from agricultural school, he Minghua, a childhood playmate, was assigned to the agricultural department of the county, and then sent down to work in the township. When he went to work, his parents hired a tricycle to take him to work. The township entertained He Minghua's whole family for a meal, and the township chief said: "Comrade Minghua, as long as you do a good job in the township, you will have great achievements in the future." Listening to this sentence, He Minghua riveted hard, worked diligently and earnestly for many years, and felt that life was really getting brighter and brighter.
Many secondary school students, after participating in the work, began to "self-study", participated in self-examination, or correspondence study. Some people, who have begun to take self-examinations in school, have already obtained a college diploma when they graduate from secondary school.
He Minghua worked in the township for five years, obtained a college diploma through self-examination, and later obtained a correspondence undergraduate diploma. After working in the township for more than a decade, he became more and more skeptical that "life is not the wrong way." Jobs are increasing, but wages are rising slowly. Over the years, he bought a house in the county, so he moved out of the family, borrowed 50,000 yuan from his parents, and borrowed more than 100,000 yuan from the bank.
Seven deductions and eight deductions a month, the salary of the hand is only more than four thousand, all year round, the bonus accumulated, less than ten thousand yuan. He Minghua also thought about quitting his job and going to work in a large enterprise to get an annual salary. But he took out the secondary school diploma, no company thinks that he is a "high-quality student", he took out his undergraduate diploma, most people think that such a diploma is not reliable. There is no hope for job hopping, and He Minghua's heart no longer has any better ideas. Occasionally, I want to start a business, but there is no capital, no technology, no access, and even more unreliable.
Once, He Minghua told his daughter about his experience in the secondary school entrance examination. The daughter replied to him: "No one in our class wants to go to secondary school, do you mean to say?" "The words of the daughter, let his heart, cool. With the passage of time, secondary school students have become very "outdated".
"Looking back again, suddenly like a dream; looking back, my heart is still the same, only the endless long road accompanies me..." Looking back, the secondary school students thirty years ago were already ben five, ben six people, studying hard, trying to take diplomas, working hard, trying to change the fate of the family, trying to grasp the direction of life, all of this, all of this has exhausted all efforts, but most people still live at the bottom of society.
Ordinary cadres, primary and secondary school teachers, enterprise workers, laid-off workers, such labels, and secondary school students thirty years ago, are more and more tightly attached, and it is really not easy to tear them off. But now, a large group of secondary school students still have to compete or work together with some young post-80s, post-90s, and post-00s with high education.
Thirty years ago, the middle school students, in a flash, grew old, the white hair on the top of the head, one by one, the wrinkles are also very deep, maybe they don't have the energy to struggle, but they are still on the road of struggle. There seems to be no way to live a relaxing life.
"Carp jumping dragon gate" can change fate, but it is necessary to continue to jump in order to continue to change fate. The road ahead is still very long, and if you want to breathe a sigh of relief, at least until the day of retirement.
There are always people who are still worried about supporting their families; there are also people who are in debt because they buy houses and cars; there are also some people who jump out of the bottom of society and start their own businesses and really change their fate.
No matter what, where life goes, it is always on your own. If you could turn back the clock, would you still choose secondary school?
Thirty years ago, secondary school students, remember to cheer yourself up, give a thumbs up...
