"Metamorphometer", which began airing in 2006, has always been criticized as a "rich man's game" because it is too cruel for mountain children:
"I could have lived like that all the time, but you wanted to let me know what life was like in the city."
A rural baby who ran away from home after "deformation" said these words, so many people could not bear it.
The children of the rich gain fame and fortune through the program, return to the city, become Internet celebrities, make movies, and live better and better.
And the children of the poor wandered around the city, returned to their hometowns, and looked up, leaving only the sense of hopelessness trapped by the mountains.
Fortunately, not all rural dolls will lose themselves after seeing the prosperity, and there are a few dolls who have truly realized the "change of life against the sky" after the show.
The first one is the first program "Network Change", a rural baby born in Qinghai - Gao Zhanxi.
His father was blind, his mother was sick, and his younger brother was the poorest even in rural Qinghai.
Since childhood, Gao Zhanxi has placed the hope of changing his life on reading, and he believes that only reading can change his destiny.
But the reality is that his family can't afford it at all, and he still wants to continue to high school after finishing junior high school.
After the exchange to the city, the traffic was busy, the luxury cars, and the prosperity of the city made him cry several times.
Watching TV, playing computers, visiting the park, just after the audience thought that Gao Zhanxi was "floating", he proposed "my wheat is ripe" and asked to go home early.
After seeing the prosperity, Gao Zhanxi still did not change his original intention, only firmly believed: "Reading is the only way, and you can get out of here when you are admitted to college." ”
After participating in the program, thanks to the financial support of the "parents" in the city, Gao Zhanxi finally did not have to drop out of school to work.
After that, he was successfully admitted to high school, and after three years of hard study, he was admitted to Hunan Normal University from Qinghai and became a national defense student.
The second is Luo Xianwang of Guizhou Cottage, who walks more than an hour a day to get to school in his hometown.
After the exchange to the city, looking at the neat and bright classroom, he said his dream:
"My wish is to be a teacher in our village, so that everyone in our village has culture, and then go out of the mountains."
Ten years later, he was admitted to Guizhou Normal University with excellent results, majoring in geography and environmental studies.
What is even more amazing is that after graduating from college, Luo Xianwang actually returned to his hometown and became a high school geography teacher.
In order to "change his life", he studied hard for many years and walked out of the mountains, but for the sake of his ideals, he resolutely returned to his hometown.
When it comes to doing it, Luo Xianwang, who has great love, has made many people stand in awe.
There is also Chen Yulin, who is also from the mountains of Guizhou.
Like most rural children, Chen Yulin's parents worked outside the home for many years, and he grew up with his grandparents.
When participating in the program, Chen Yulin, who was young, had a clear self-knowledge: "I am not a level of people with them. ”
After returning to his hometown, with the support of caring people from the outside world, Chen Yulin was able to go to school with peace of mind.
He studied hard, and finally in the middle school examination, he was admitted to the local first middle school with the second best result in the school.
During the college entrance examination, Chen Yulin played well and was finally successfully admitted to Beijing University of Technology.
According to media reports, after graduating from university, Chen Yulin became a programmer and settled in the city.
The three children, relying on reading, changed their own limited life trajectory, as if to tell us:
Reading is the best way for a person to ascend.
For some, it may even be the only ascending channel.

Knowingly, there is a question "Why do poor children go to college?" One of the answerers was tearful.
He was born in the countryside of Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, how poor is the local area? In 2008, their village was connected to cable TV for the Olympic Games.
When my father was young, he went out to work and accidentally fell from a three-story high place, and since then he has been too weak to lift heavy objects.
In that year, the answerer's brother had just been born, and the livelihood of the family of five was all on the mother.
After his father recovered a little, he started a small business, sold 3 kinds of things successively, and suffered a lot but only earned a family to feed himself.
In 2007, the answerer's brother had just been admitted to college, the answerer was in his third year of high school, and his younger brother was also in his first year of high school, but his father was diagnosed with cancer. The already destitute family is even worse.
A family of 5, 3 children are in school, the father is suffering from cancer, the three brothers want to drop out of school to work to earn money, but the father refuses.
In order to let the children continue to study, the father borrowed relatives who could borrow money, and the family was abandoned everywhere they went.
In those years, the whole family tightened their pants and belts to live, and the rice in the family grew bugs, and their mother picked out the bugs one by one and ate them. When they were the poorest, they could only afford to drink porridge in the New Year.
But even so, my father never wanted to let his children give up their studies, because he was convinced that the poor would never have a way out without reading.
In 2011, my brother graduated. In 2012, the respondent graduated. In 2014, my brother graduated. After staying up the hard days, I finally saw the light.
When the father's cancer returned, because all three children had jobs, the family no longer had to worry about the cost of treatment.
Not only can my father be hospitalized with peace of mind, but he also has spare money to buy supplements and continue to support his body after he is discharged.
After that, the family, which was once the poorest in the village, built a new building, bought a car, and relatives who had previously looked down on them all gave a thumbs up to their father.
Why should poor children read? The respondent's personal experience may be the best answer.
Reading, of course, is not the only way out, but it may be the simplest and fairest way to go up.
Even if it is ridiculed as "a small town to be a problem"? At least, with your hard work, you have earned a chance to turn your life upside down.
The most terrible thing is that when I was young, I firmly believed that "reading is useless", fantasized about easy counterattack, and finally exchanged for a lifetime of humility and bottom.

Some time ago, Zhang Juncheng, the "first person to security at Peking University", was on the hot search again.
Because people found that the security guard who was admitted to the Peking University College in the past has returned to his hometown, worked as a teacher for more than 20 years, and also founded a secondary vocational school mainly for rural children.
He said: "Peking University has planted a seed for me, and I want to bring this seed to more people."
From security guards to teachers, this poor teenager, relying on reading, not only reverses his life, but also subtly affects more rural children.
Don't say that reading is useless, because it has no other purpose than to make people feel self-destructive and waste time.
In this era, there are always people who are immersed in the stories of "dropping out of school Gates" and "Dropping out of junior high school Han Han", and they can't extricate themselves.
At the same time, they also determined that "college students are everywhere" and have long been worthless.
However, the data shows that among the 1.4 billion people in the country, college students account for 8.86% of the total population, and undergraduate students account for only 4.43%
In addition, the International Finance News once conducted a survey on the "education level" of executives of 500 listed companies in China.
In the end, it was found that 84 percent of those executives had a high degree and 48 percent graduated from a 985 school.
Among them, among the 476 chairmen who have disclosed their academic qualifications with an annual salary of more than one million, 379 have a bachelor's degree, accounting for 84%.
The useless lie of reading should have been debunked long ago.
Sooner or later, those smug advocates will also be punched in the face.
This year, 30 million netizens participated in an online poll: "Ten Regrets in Life".
The first thing in the list is that he failed to cherish the young admission to a good university, so that he did nothing in this life.
Children, don't wait until you enter the society to regret that your education is too low; don't wait until you miss the time to regret reading too little.
Born in the ordinary, it is even more important to listen to the words of a teacher at Hengshui Middle School:
"Education should be personalized, education should develop people's personality, to be happy, we can say a lot, we can do a lot."
But for a poor rural student, if they can't pass the 985/211 exam, they can only continue to farm at home, which is the reality, and if they don't work hard, they will always be at the bottom. ”
Encourage you.
