Chapter 24 The third part: counting romantic people, no registered permanent residence!

Dear Teacher Xu: After reading the correspondence between you and Ding Nan (refer to the book "If you get married, who will you end up with - on the career destination of the language major"), I am deeply moved.Ding Nan's words expressed the doubts and confusion in my heart. What I feel very ashamed of is that, as a senior student, I really shouldn't be in such confusion at this moment.The teacher's "China Opportunity Theory" and "Career Center Theory" have been deeply imprinted in my heart. In Ding Nan's body, I found my resonance with her.Her perplexity is exactly my perplexity, and the career philosophy she developed after your guidance is exactly what I pursue and yearn for.

When I was trying to find a job at the end of last year, I went to Beijing, but because Beijing has strict restrictions on household registration, students like me can only stay in remote suburbs, which is naturally not what I want, so I He gave up on teaching.Another important reason for my giving up is that I always feel that being a teacher is a very ordinary profession, which will not bring me the challenges and brilliance I imagined, and will not win me a higher income.I can't wait to buy a car and a house for my parents and honor them. Teacher, I know that maybe I have a certain prejudice against teaching, but looking at the education field, 99% of the teachers have been working hard in the position of "gardener" for decades, and there is only one Yu Minhong. This should be the truth .Therefore, in my heart, teaching seems to be a narrow world that is not enough for me to gallop. Although I don't disdain it, I lack a longing for it.

I also hope to learn more about teaching from the teacher. If my opinion is prejudice, I am willing to eliminate it, and then accept the challenges brought by this career (but I am afraid it will be difficult to go to Beijing, and there is no way to solve the problem of household registration. The thing is, I just want to go to Beijing). Teacher Xu, here I express my yearning and doubts in my heart, and I urgently need your answer. Please help me. I will wait for your reply and look forward to your answer! Yaohukou Dear Yao Hukou: Although your letter understands my thinking about Ding Nan's career direction, it is clear that you still don't understand a lot about my thinking.The most serious misunderstanding is about the teacher's occupation and household registration.

Let me talk about the household registration issue first: in China, the household registration system has been criticized by enemies from all sides.What was once something we were born with, like genes, is falling apart.The speed and strength of the reform of the household registration system vary from province to city, but the direction of the household registration reform must be absolute: to give the Chinese people more rights and freedom to work and live on their own land! I'm not an expert on social issues and policy issues, so I don't want to talk about hukou.But I want to tell you that if a Chinese youth living in this era does not have a little bit of foresight and foresight in the development of all aspects of Chinese society, including the prospect of the household registration system, he will definitely have no future!

What is the advance and foresight of the household registration system?It is to see that the impact of the household registration system on our lives is getting smaller and smaller, and this trend will be inversely proportional to the economic development of the motherland—the economy is developing day by day, and the household registration system is becoming increasingly exhausted. The cult of hukou was born of the restraint of the 1950s, the famine of the 1960s, the fear of the 1970s, and the shortages of the 1980s. Welcome to the 21st century!Look at the capital of our lovely motherland, how many foreign talents without registered permanent residence have achieved great success; how many laid-off workers with registered permanent residence have lost their hard-earned jobs!As a young man of the times, he should be ahead of the society and take the initiative to reject many of the irrationality contained in it, but your letter reveals a look of following it closely and defending it to the death.

This is wrong. In addition, you mentioned foreign language teaching in your letter, mentioned Yu Minhong, mentioned the work of "gardener", and mentioned the reasons why you don't like teaching. I am completely disappointed in your views.Foreign language teaching is booming in Beijing, and it is in the ascendant in China and has a bright future.As "Mandarin in the Internet age", "Esperanto for intellectuals", and "a fusion agent for the global economy", English has a huge market in China.With the coming of the Olympic Games, Beijing citizens are setting off a movement to learn English for all.This is an unrivaled market opportunity.As a student of an English normal school, you should rush to the front line of teaching, become a trendsetter of the times, become a lucky person in the market, and become an expert earning "high salary" in various emerging English training institutions, but you are treated as "teaching work is not paid well" The outdated stereotype of high" simply dismisses it.

I only see the sunset of Hukou in my eyes, and this sunset is rapidly dimming; there is no education sun in my heart, and this sun is rising brilliantly.As an English undergraduate student in a normal college, you may have a bright future, but you may be suffocated by the limitations of your own mind!Limitations are narrow. For a narrow person, how can his life path be broad? I don't have to reproach you so sternly -- why should I? —But, I don't blame you, who do I blame?Values ​​lead us forward.If the level of modernization of people's concepts can be divided into five levels, you can at most be placed in the penultimate place, and it will fail.How can your values, which are so severely stuck decades ago, guide and drive you to run with this era into the future?

Therefore, worry and worry, disappointment and anxiety will basically accompany you throughout your life.Because, living in the 21st century, although you have the inertia of 50 years ago, you inevitably have the desire of the 21st century-the desire of the 21st century is the restlessness of earning money to "buy a car and a house", not waiting for the government The warmth of allocating houses and cars; the desire of the 21st century is the pursuit of independence, freedom of personality, and openness of mind, not the nightmare of giving up independence for a job, giving up freedom for peace.

The desire of the 21st century is the excitement of selling "talents" to the market and occupying the "market" in this way, rather than gaining benefits through household registration and giving up the compromise of development. The expectation of the 21st century is to abandon all stereotypes and bad habits, eliminate all rules and regulations, liberate the national spirit, release individual energy, and maximize the benefits of individuals, which is also the call for the great prosperity of the nation. It's all over, counting romantic figures, no household registration!

Talents need foresight, that is vision.A person who is blind in both eyes is an unfortunate person; but a person who is blind in concept is an even more unfortunate person.Because a person who is blind in both eyes can't see anything anyway, once he gets used to the eternal darkness, he won't suffer for what he can't see; Opportunity gave up success, but he could see the red dust rolling in life, soaring and flourishing, colorful and full of capitals by his side.The Sri Lankan is alone and haggard!Who else is more regrettable, more pathetic, more deplorable than such a person? Vision, a kind of foresight—a kind of foresight that sees market opportunities for talents, sees the lagging nature of the system, sees where money flows, and sees where the future is tempting.

It seems that just reading my letter to Ding Nan is not enough for you, because in the letter to Ding Nan, I only emphasized the employment ideas of language students, which are just things like methods and techniques.But what you are missing is the most important advanced thought for young people of this era.The Three Represents, keeping pace with the times, seems not only important to the Party and the country, but also a matter of life and death for a young college student like you! Worried about you, Xu Xiaoping
