Chapter 132 Dr. Wen (1)

Every time he passed the south or west gate and saw the dilapidated city towers and the holes in the city wall, Dr. Wen felt sick, like eating a fly from a meal.Disgusting, not sad.Dr. Wen did not remember the May 3rd tragedy very enthusiastically.He felt that such broken things should not be kept on the street; if it can be repaired, repair it; if it cannot be repaired, just tear it down!Neither repair nor demolition, this shows the hopelessness of China. The reason why China has no hope is firstly because there are no talents, and secondly because there are few talents and the country and society do not know how to select them.Dr. Wen thought so.Speaking from his own perspective, it has been half a year since he returned to China, and he still hasn't found a job.Shanghai, Nanjing, Beiping, they all ran, wasted some travel expenses and a business card with a doctorate title, but got nothing.Finally, he ran to Jinan; he was disgusted at the sight of the ruined towers.

When he first came back, he knew that he could not compare China with the United States. This was not only to forgive China, but also to warn himself not to expect too much.It stands to reason that he should receive the highest status and treatment as soon as he comes back.If he can do this, he must have a way to save this backward country; even if he can't think of a good idea, at least he has the set of American methods that he can apply.Do the math, how many PhDs are there in the country?But how many have lived in the United States for five years?Isn't this obvious?However, he has long been prepared to take a step back and think about things, don't overdo things, China is China; he only hopes to earn four to five hundred yuan a month, deal with it slowly, wait until the wings are ready, and then go to the top Fly high.He firmly believed that he would be able to reach the top of the society, but he had to do it slowly, climbing up from the position of professor or director, and even if he couldn't climb up, he wouldn't fall further.Aspirations must be big and steps must be steady. He dare not hope that this society can really recognize the value of a doctor at once.It is inconvenient for him to look down on China completely, because he has to show his skills here-to put it bluntly, he must earn a living in China.He thought it over, since he had to eat Chinese food, he had to—whether he wanted to or not—sympathize with these old people, recognize them as his compatriots, pity them, and be considerate of them.Even if they couldn't support him in accordance with American standards in everything and everything, he had no choice but to make do with it, endure it, and get four or five hundred yuan for nothing.

It's been half a year since I came back, and it's been half a year, and I have nothing to do with him!He didn't doubt himself for a moment because of that; there was nothing wrong with his skills, his doctorate, no.Then, the fault lies in the country and society, a blind country, a society that doesn't know good and bad, he can't do anything about it.He, the American doctor, cannot pick up a job from the lower classes and grab some food; he has to sit upstairs as soon as he sits.If he had to start by sweeping the floor and carrying water, why did he go to the United States to get a Ph. D.?He began to loathe this unreasonable society, making him sick everywhere, and those two towers are a symbol of China's approach.If he doesn't earn money to eat, he really doesn't want to have anything to do with this broken society!The society stifled him.

What's even more exasperating is that, in terms of ability, he is also a prominent figure among the foreign students; it is easy to show his skills among the foreign students?Hmph, when he was in China, he would find nothing to do with his leather shoes being polished on the dirt road all day long; he really wanted to laugh wildly. During his study abroad, he always paid attention to everything, and made as many friends as he could, so as to prepare for the future.He would not let anyone go easily, he had to show: "Let's unite and return to the country in the future, this is a power!" Compared with him, who has more money and higher status, he pays special attention to being able to change in the shortest period of time. Become friends who whisper together.He also refused to be indifferent to those who were lower than him.He knew that these young people studying hard all had a bright future, so he had to win them over and encourage them: "If we unite, a group of people must be more powerful than a single person; if we support one, we can all rise up! We don't have to worry about it; back then, when a poor man won the number one prize, he would immediately have a wife, wealth, position and salary. We are the number one scholar of today, and the status and career are all reserved for us; even the rich family with a daughter should also have both money and money. Bring it here! It’s not that our expectations are too high, it’s just as it should be!” This, even if it didn’t move their hearts, after all, everyone became closer to him.Naturally, there were some who didn't like to hear this at all, but he didn't argue with them blushing, but said in his heart: One day, you will remember what I said!

In this way, the rich and the poor are united around him—at least that’s what he thinks—he believes more and more in his own talents and skills.Sometimes he would rather read less books than give up this kind of communication and publicity.If there are any minor conflicts among the foreign students, he always spends time to find out, guess, and then try to mediate.He feels that he is touching everyone's veins, he is their heart, and he gives everyone news, ideas, inspiration, and plans.I am more and more confident, and I am more and more fond of this kind of work. I mutter to the east and listen to the west. Sometimes I feel tired, but my heart is very happy.

He is not a person who doesn't like reading, but gradually he sees that it is dangerous to focus on reading.There are a few people who concentrate on studying, but they are always unwilling to get close to him, or even talk to him.He realized that one should not be a nerd; it is better to be uneducated and sophisticated than to be eccentric with knowledge.Life should not grasp knowledge, but should grasp reality, he said.Under his so-called grasp of reality, things are not difficult to do: he has done all kinds of delegates, speeches, meetings, telegrams and leaflets, all of which are easy and not unsightly.Because I am happy that I am doing things beautifully, it is not easy to think about these things further, but if I have the ability, it is not difficult to do anything in the hands of capable people.

Five years in the U.S.—I planned to live in the United States for four years, but because of communication and other work, the thesis could not be handed in, so it was extended by one year—his body and appearance lost the innocence and vivacity of his youth, and gradually changed. Fixed shape, not easy to change much.Even the clothing has a certain style, at least there will be no major changes before and after getting a doctorate.Medium build, not necessarily fat, but with a big frame, obviously not very flexible.Square face: Cheeks and forehead are sharp and angular, although not thin.The hair is very black, very low, very low, and very hard. There is always a small strand standing upright at the hairpin, like a small wing; I often use my hands to pat it and adjust it with a small chemical comb, but it can't fall down.Thick eyebrows, round eyes, wide nose and thick mouth.The sharp square face, coupled with these thick muzzles, is obviously clumsy.What he was most proud of was his complexion, which was yellowish white, neither dark nor bright, as if he had just put some powder on it after wiping with a hot towel.He had a bookish look on his face.

He seems to know that he is not very decent, so he pays attention to his expression: when listening to people's speech, he tightly twists his thick eyebrows, closes his thick mouth tightly, and droops the corners of his mouth, showing great solemnity, even if people don't I like him, but I am also embarrassed not to have a question and answer talk with him, since he is so serious and sincere.When it's his turn to speak, his round eyes will move side to side charmingly, adding meaning or emotion that words can't convey.When he was happy, he either moved forward, or used his big and hard hand to hold him.After saying a self-satisfied word, his nose was slightly broken, and his tongue stuck out slightly, "cry"!Spit out some star foam; quickly cover your mouth with your hands, and laugh behind your hands.Even if his words were not mean and boring, there was nothing clever about them; however, with the help of eyes, nose, and mouth, people were embarrassed to ignore them, as if his specialty was to catch everyone's embarrassment.

The only thing he is proud of is his light yellow complexion, so his clothes are very plain, black or dark gray suit, black shoes, high white collar; only the tie has some bright patterns, so as not to dress up like a theology s student.Dressing up like this can also save some money. He doesn't change the style and color according to the fashion, but only wants to be clean and tidy; he is not a very rich person. Living in the United States for five years, he really knew a lot of people.International students come and go, the job of welcoming and seeing off is always his, and he spends more on platform tickets than anyone else.He was well-informed, his legs were on his feet, and as soon as he got the news, he was ready to go to the station.Dressed neatly, walking vigorously, the soles of the feet touched the ground, and when they were rolled, the body straightened up.He didn't move his neck, and walked all the way without looking aside, as if everyone was paying attention to him, and he was embarrassed to look left and right.He was reluctant to pay for the car ride, but in time to see his girlfriend off, even if he borrowed some money, he had to buy a bouquet of flowers.He picked up people or sent them away, and he got a lot of conversation materials: who is who, what status, what they studied in the United States, what they approached in China, and what their future jobs are. He has detailed reports and advises everyone on this matter. How people pay attention.Work, aspect, relationship, development, these words are always on his lips, speaking skillfully and kindly, as if the fate of these overseas students should be controlled by him; at least he is also like a fortune teller, judging everyone's success or failure.

When he got his degree, left the United States, and got on the ship, he looked at the vast sea and felt a little sad in his heart, a kind of sadness that was not unsweet.The boundless sea, one wave after another, has been flowing to the end of the world, with no destination at all.As for himself, after five years of hard work, he got a Ph.D.; five years of social activities, and met so many promising young people; this trip was worthwhile!Those who returned to the country before him were nothing more than paving the way for him. As long as they are found, they will not have to worry about his work; those who are still in the United States will return to China one by one in the future. Of course, they will communicate with him, even if they are not influenced by him. Words of guidance and help.Tianshui is vast, but he has status and methods, so in satisfaction, he does not express any worries or poetic sighs in embarrassment.

On weekdays, he can eat very well; these days on the ship, he eats more; after eating, he sits on the deck, sleeps or looks at the sea, and his heart is very peaceful.Touching the newly added flesh on his face, he felt that as long as he didn't expect too much, the matter of four or five hundred yuan, and the wife who brought over tens of thousands of compensation, would never fail.After having something to do, with his ability and activities, it is inevitable that there will be some development soon. In Shanghai and Nanjing, he did meet quite a few friends, some were quite polite, some were very indifferent; some were optimistic about things, some were pessimistic, and none of them were left behind!His face thinned again.But he didn't give up and didn't dare to be lazy.He went around to inquire about his friends' work, relationship, and future development. He always thought that his friends had their own party affiliations, so he refused to pull him casually; Find out the way, and then you can be accurate.Sure enough, he inquired about a lot of things, and these things were much more complicated than what he encountered when he was studying in the United States, which almost made him confused and didn't know what to do.Things are always hopeless. He felt that the south was complicated, so he came to Beiping; Beiping is a university town, and at least he could find a professor.This time, he first inquired about the party departments, relations, and affiliations in the education circle; after inquiring clearly, he proceeded with his own affairs.I ran a lot of roads, asked a lot of things, and when I came to the job, there was no hope. The failure strengthened his faith—although he was very good at sniffing out information and adding two and two together, he still didn't get in; Only by holding on to it can you succeed.Ph.D., knowledge, ability, almost all of them can be put aside, and you have to "get in" first!According to his observations of several months, this society is a big muddy pond, only sinking people, who don't know who is a doctor, can only jump to the stone buried in the muddy pond ; Find one by one, step by step, until finally, there is a beautiful garden at the end of the mud pond.He couldn't willingly jump into the mud, he had to find those stones. Finally, he found a way and instructed him: go to Jinan.
