Chapter 25 find you a mirror

The moment the manuscript was finished, there was no sense of relief.On the contrary, in the process of writing, through a large amount of data, I have a more comprehensive and profound understanding of Beijing, so I am more worried. People's Daily Online reporter Cui Peng published an article "Where is the Future of the Middle Class" on September 16, 2010, mentioning the concept of "escape from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou".The point of view held in this article is that "the phenomenon of 'fleeing from Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou' has not yet evolved into a large-scale social trend. There are no figures to prove that more and more white-collar workers are fleeing from big cities, and there is no way to prove that if they leave, it will definitely be better. it is good".At that time, our "Beijing Snobby" had already finished drafting.So, looking back and looking at the reactions of major media and individuals to "escape from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou", our thoughts have become firmer.

Escaping from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou is definitely not the next best thing.From the "Northern, Shanghai, and Guangzhou" where hundreds of battles are fought, retreating to my hometown or a small second- and third-tier town, to a quiet corner, talking about this life is definitely not the "escape" we recognize. The reason to leave is to get a better life.And this good standard, in fact, varies from person to person.Just like Jack Ma mentioned in the introduction of this book, the founder of Alibaba, a legend of the Chinese Internet.He is not as valuable as Li Yanhong (founder of Baidu), and he is not as handsome as Fang Fang, but such a Jack Ma is more of a role model for young people, especially those who are determined to start a business.Because he is ordinary.

He has ordinary appearance, ordinary education (graduated from Hangzhou Normal University, failed the college entrance examination three times), and ordinary background (no overseas study experience, not a rich second generation, and no one in the top), so when he was not the president of Alibaba Group, Beijing Will not wait to see him. There are many books about Jack Ma and Alibaba on the market.After a quick scan, you will find that what they are talking about is nothing more than one thing: this man named Jack Ma is amazing because he is very persistent.Getting up after falling is easy to become a slogan but not easy to put into action. But getting up after falling, falling down, getting up, falling and climbing again is definitely not something ordinary people can imagine.

His story is full of ups and downs, with laughter and tears.But in this process, a more interesting phenomenon is that Jack Ma fell down in Beijing, but he didn't get up in Beijing, but left the capital and moved to Hangzhou. So persistent Jack Ma, why didn't he get up in Beijing?Because he knows that he can't resist thousands of years of cultural habits, and he can't let Beijing, which is used to being the "capital", give him a break. Ma Yun said to Beijing, trust me, break through that circle, and leave me a way , let me stretch my fists and reformulate a set of rules of the game—do you think Beijing will take care of him?Even if he had stood by Li Lanqing, Wu Yi and other state leaders, it was useless!Because he just stood there for a while, other than that, he didn't have any substantial relationship with people in this circle or in the neighboring circles.

It is this interesting phenomenon that made us decide to let Ma Yun lead the story of Beijing.He fits so well. Not long ago, the daughter of the former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade of South Korea was specially recruited as a civil servant, which is considered a big news.Some commentators analyzed that this kind of "special move" incident happened because South Korea was deeply influenced by Confucianism, and in fact it is still a society of personal affection.So, what about China?Similar things are not uncommon around us.Beijing is at the core of this society, and the concept of family status, bureaucracy, and hierarchy are all the more differentiated.

Yi Zhongtian said that the city of Beijing is a big circle, and inside it are all kinds of circles, big and small. The people in the circle "love each other", and the outsiders can only watch helplessly. Unless someone leads you in, otherwise you It can only become a drifting bottle of the city.This is the "characteristic" of Beijing. Ma Yun's later success is also the hope we intend to convey to you. We hope that you can also find the soil that suits you. Whatever crop you are, you should be planted in the soil.Whether it is a desert or a swamp, there are vegetations that belong there.Of course, it is not an easy matter to truly recognize yourself.

Therefore, in this sense, "escape from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou" is not a false proposition.It's worth exploring because everyone has the right to a better life - why is urban-rural development so unbalanced?Why do rural children still not be able to "sit on an equal footing" with urban children and share benefits after 18 years of studying hard?Where is the problem, understand, found.However, it is not enough. We must seek countermeasures. On the premise that you cannot change a city, you can change yourself.This point is more meaningful for college students who have just graduated or are about to graduate.

You and Beijing are not in love with each other, she didn't recognize you at a glance.Why are you pestering her so hard?Beijing is your ultimate goal in this life, are you sure? It is really difficult to maintain passion and stick to ideals.The difficulty is that we will change, we will be polished by reality, tempted by various interests, and blocked by various difficulties, so that we cannot recognize ourselves, and struggle hard in Beijing, but we don’t know that we have already changed beyond recognition and cannot be set into the original. Expected that location. If you have to find a reason, then this is the reason why we published this book and the "Escape from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou" series - find a mirror for you, look at the people and things in the mirror, and look at yourself; Set off!
