Chapter 4 Knowledge is still there, but what about power?

From a young age, teachers and parents taught me that knowledge is power.I didn't believe it at first, but it's obvious that when there are fights in the class, those who are good at studying can't beat those who are poor at studying; who doesn't know that Zhang Tiesheng became a high-ranking official with blank papers; Old rough".And those who wear glasses in the courtyard, even say "I'm sorry" after being scolded by the hooligans.It can be seen who has knowledge and who is weak. Teachers and parents are all lying! But repeating a lie thousands of times will also produce the miraculous effect that three people become tigers.I finally got into the pirate ship of the adults, and became "knowledge addicted" like an opium ghost. Not reading a book for a day is as uncomfortable as not taking a bath for half a year.I finally became a "knowledgeable person" who was regarded as a "knowledgeable person". After passing the key middle school entrance examination, key university entrance examination, postgraduate entrance examination, learning, and talking nonsense, sometimes I found that people seemed to respect me... I gradually Believe that there is an element of truth in that lie.

But I didn't have a good dream for a few days, and the reality woke me up from the cold. I rubbed my trachoma and saw that knowledge was still powerless.Those who were poor in class back then are now rich and living in a fish and meat village; those who are good at school are poor and can't even afford books.It's really "reciting poems and composing Fu in the North Window, ten thousand words are not worth a glass of water".In the work unit, those with knowledge have to act according to the eyes of those without knowledge.In society, apart from money, other grandpas don't recognize anything.A classmate of mine who was a lawyer was well-founded and eloquent, but the other party won the lawsuit with a color TV.One of my teachers is famous all over the world in academia, but the school would rather give the house to a section chief than him.A friend of mine who was admitted to a Ph.D. program proudly told his dance partner that he was a Ph.

Some people say that intellectuals should let go of their airs, but I don't understand what airs intellectuals have to put on.Newspapers shouted every day that intellectuals should be respected, but hooligans knew best that hitting a teacher or student had the highest insurance factor.Following the wave of going abroad, there is now another wave of dropouts, which has grown to the point where the government needs to take measures.In terms of graduation distribution, the higher the degree, the harder it is to find a job.You have knowledge, your works are valuable, and your inventions have won awards internationally, but people may not publish books for you, let you go abroad, don’t give you a house, don’t give you a household registration, or even let you work.Don't you have strength?where is it?Let’s just admit that knowledge has no power.When I was young, intellectuals were stinking old nines.Now that I'm older, I don't know if the intellectuals have adjusted their prices.Can I wait until that day?

My wife asked me: "What will our child do in the future to be the most promising?" I thought about it for a long time and said, "Being illiterate!"
