Chapter 45 Series of surveys: Coal boss education level survey

In Shengli Village, Zhao Hailong, the coal boss, generally does not use the name "Zhao Hailong". The locals like to call him "Captain". I had no choice but to accept it. When mentioning the title "captain", there is a "story" that insults Zhao Hailong's IQ. In 1962, having been a "repeater" for three years in the fourth grade of primary school, he "got his wish" and became the most full-time "fire watcher" in the history of his class. In the local area, students of various schools use "floor stoves" to keep warm in winter, and use the abundant local coal resources to burn coal for heating.This "fireman" is called "the fire watcher" by the students.The first requirement for this position is a boy with poor academic performance, but enthusiastic about class work, because he has to "seal the fire" every night rain or shine.

And Zhao Hailong is the best candidate for this position, repeating the grade for three years and "watching the fire" for three years. "He knows all the allusions and anecdotes of our school, and the new teachers all ask him about the inside story of the previous school." One of his classmates made fun of him. As for academic performance, it is even more of a headache for parents. He can make 13 mistakes in dictating 10 new words in class, because in addition to those 10 wrong words, he also needs to add his own name: "Zhao Hailong", because the average A few characters were missing, so he wrote "Zou Everyyou".

If he wrote a wrong word, the teacher would use a red pen to mark a big "×" on it. At that time, his homework book was full of "×".The teacher said angrily: "The paper is full of 'firewood', you can be the leader of our class' firewood chopping team." Chapter 15 Tearing the Magic Clothes——A True Restoration of the Life of a Coal Boss (4) Since then, the word "Captain" has been linked with his name. Zhao Hailong is "uneducated", which is in line with the "unified standard" of the local coal boss. According to the survey, 60% of the local coal bosses have a "high primary school" education. Regarding the "gold content" of this "diploma", some people say that it is equivalent to today's primary school education level. This is an education level in the country's rural education plan in the 1960s 1. The definition of cultural level, from the perspective of knowledge level, "high primary school" is lower than today's primary school.

According to the survey, 30% of these coal bosses have a primary school education, and the above two together, 90% of the coal bosses have an education level of "high primary school" and primary school, and only 10% have a junior high school diploma or above , the number of coal bosses with college education or above is zero. Based on the analysis of the above situations, it is not difficult to find a strange and interesting phenomenon, that is, the wealth accumulation of coal bosses is inversely proportional to their cultural knowledge level. This phenomenon deserves the attention of relevant experts and scholars.

Today, when our society has entered the era of knowledge economy, this is the only high-income industry that does not require a diploma. We can roughly summarize the characteristics of Coal Boss. First, the culture is not high and courageous. The low level of education is the main characteristic of coal bosses.The lack of cultural knowledge is the "short board" of their life journey, but this also adds points to their careers to a certain extent. They often have no scruples in their careers, and naturally take the lead. This can also be said to be "the ignorant have no fear" .

Second, there is no confidence in taking risks. In Shanxi, digging for coal is a kind of gambling game in itself, people who dare to take risks, are good at taking risks, only care about success, regardless of the consequences.In fact, this is indeed the case. The local environment and local social affairs have created the glory of the coal boss, and also the life of the coal boss. Third, experience is seasoned and good at drilling. People born in this era have rich social experience and experience after experiencing the situation of the times, social changes and changes in human relationships.They can move freely in society, advance and retreat freely, and become real "coal rats".
