Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

"...Everyone, please see, this is a simplified diagram based on our investigation. From east to west, it is a process from rich to poor. This rich and poor does not only refer to money, but also includes education. Please take a look. , the school density in the eastern region, the number of students, the number of teachers and the situation of educational facilities, and looking west, such a large span, do you believe it? This is the difference in the same country, under the same sky, shocking……"

"...Education is the foundation of a country, and children are the future of a country. Our future needs them to inherit and carry forward. The country depends on them to grow and develop. It can be said absolutely that without education, we will not develop. Without children, we will There is no future..."

"...Education is a system that absolutely cannot be industrialized. If education is linked to money and becomes a tool for profit, it will fundamentally lose the meaning of education. At that time, we can only see batches of Graduates bought with money, in the end, the consequences are borne by the entire country and society..."

"...The great educator Confucius said that there is no distinction between teaching and teaching students according to their aptitude. The ancients thousands of years ago knew that people are different and cannot be generalized. What is our current education method? One size fits all. One size fits all education system Can we really cultivate a large number of talents we need? People have different talents and different growth environments. The result of such an educational structure and method can only be learned by a small number of people, but more of them are suppressed. Strangling is mediocrity, and a life of depression..."

"...We always talk about the advanced foreign countries, and foreign countries are indeed more advanced than us, but the advanced is not only technology, but also education, and the emphasis on children and education. I think it is necessary for us to organize Domestic educators and youth workers, go out and see how advanced countries treat children and how they treat children's education. What we have to learn is not just behavior, but the inner If you learn its form, you will never be able to grasp the essence of it, that is, you will always be behind..."

"...Is it only those who have graduated from general colleges who are talented? I don't agree. Scientific research workers are talented, political workers are talented, but fitters and blacksmiths are also talented, construction workers are also talented, and even farmers who can grow good food It should also be talents. There are all kinds of state-owned industries and all kinds of people. Why do we have to use one format to distinguish what is a talent? Everyone has something they are good at, and they can shine and make their contributions. Therefore, education should not only focus on Along with universities, we should also pay attention to vocational schools, technical schools and even all technical schools. Refinement is the trend of the future. No matter what industry or industry, refinement is the direction of development, but where do a large number of workers in the refinement industry come from? Isn't that talent? That's what we're talking about, the balance of education..."

"...I agree with the promotion of learning foreign languages. If a country wants to develop, it must learn from advanced countries. It is very important to understand and master their languages. However, learning foreign languages ​​for all people, and even foreign languages ​​can play a decisive role in the life of students. I don’t agree with it. Can’t you be a talent if you don’t know a foreign language? Can’t you contribute to the country’s construction? Why should our own children use a foreign language to determine their future?…”

"...Education is a cause that needs to be developed with the strength of the whole country, but we all know that the country is poor, has a large population, and a vast territory, which has caused the current situation. So should we wait for the country to develop and prosper slowly? I said, No! Education is a major issue that concerns the entire nation. We can’t wait for the biggest thing. Then, why don’t we consider the power of the people? Since the beginning of writing, education in our country has been dominated by the power of the people, and the government has coordinated management As a supplement, why is it not working now? One manpower is small, hundreds of people are big, what kind of power is the addition of tens of thousands of people? There is a saying among the common people, it is called the rich and the poor. , I think this sentence is appropriate in China's current education system. To formulate detailed management regulations, make reasonable use of private capital, and jointly create the prosperity of China's education is the only way for the development of education, not any industry. change."

"Wow... blah blah blah blah..."

"My speech is over, thank you." Zhang Xingming stood at attention, bowed to the audience, turned around and stepped off the stage amidst applause, and returned to his seat.

On the rostrum, several old people whispered a few words and nodded slightly.

Chapter 529

A small meeting room, less than fifty square meters.

Inside, there is a wooden bone sofa covered with a half circle of white cotton cloth against the wall, the floor is covered with a woolen carpet, and the table is covered with a deep red tablecloth.

The decoration in the room is a bit of Western style, from the curtains to the ceiling, and the hanging lamps are all Western-style, intersecting with the large Chinese paintings on the solid wood panels on the walls, but it does not look obtrusive at all, but has a harmonious beauty.

Several old people including Zhang Xingming and Mr. Shen were sitting on the sofa, listening to the old man in the middle talking.

The old man is very excited, and when he is excited, he will wave his arms to increase his sense of strength.

"As I said, you need to be more courageous, step faster, learn from others, what to learn? It's not simply to learn what others do, but to learn why they do what they do. It is not a matter of a year or two to catch up with advanced countries. , We must start from the details and accumulate slowly.”

"Reform and opening up is to abandon the original system and burdens, to travel lightly, and make great strides. We have no place or experience to learn from, so we might as well just ignore him so much, do things before we look at them, and we are not afraid of making mistakes. , If you don’t make mistakes, you will never get things done.”

"Today I read Liaodong Xiaoshen's suggestions on education and medical care. They are very good. Only by having ideas and daring to think can we make achievements, improve, and do things. We must pay attention to people who can do things, Xiao Hu , you should pay attention to this."

A somewhat skinny old man sitting next to the old man nodded and glanced at old man Shen.

"Come on, little guy, come to me. What are you doing sitting so far away? Am I a tiger? I'm old and my eyes are failing. I can't see clearly if you sit too far away."

Zhang Xingming quickly stood up and walked to the old man. The service staff took a chair and gently put it on the edge of the old man's sofa. Zhang Xingming thanked him softly and sat down.

The old man stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Xingming's right hand, looked at him and said, "I have known you for a long time. You have a good investment vision, and you do practical things. The employment volume exceeds that of some state-owned enterprises. You are amazing."

Zhang Xingming hastened to be polite: "Your old words are serious, everything should be done, I am not good enough, but I will try to do better."

The old man patted the back of Zhang Xingming's hand with his other hand, turned his head and said to Mr. Shen, "Xiao Shen, I'm a little jealous of you, good grandson."

Zhang Xingming had a black thread hanging down his head, but what he said was the truth, why did it sound so awkward.

Mr. Shen said: "The policy is still good, and your way is good. I am just lucky, I picked up a bargain, haha."

The old man smiled and said: "You guys are still so cunning. Xiao Shen, let Liaodong go and come to Beijing. You have a lot of qualifications, but you are in the way of others when you occupy the position. You will be scolded. Liaodong It is developing very well now, thanks to you. Open your eyes, stand taller, and see farther away. My health is failing, and I will rely on you in the future."

The old man thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangement."

The old man was very happy, he laughed for a long time, and said to Zhang Xingming: "Your grandpa is a trickster, you must be better than him, and you must do practical things in a down-to-earth manner."

Zhang Xingming agreed in sweat.

The old man added: "I know a little bit about your situation. I am not supervising you, but learning from you. I can see that you are walking steadily every step of the way. However, your foundation in Hong Kong Island is a bit weak. Your shortcomings need to be improved. There are still ten years left. I don’t know if I can see that day, but I want to tell you that if you become stronger, the country will spend less effort to pull others and capitalism will come out. people are unreliable."

Zhang Xingming's head turned countless times in an instant, and he also understood what the old man said, nodded solemnly and said: "Please rest assured, give me five years. Hong Kong Island will not be chaotic."

The old man patted Zhang Xingming's hand, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, be steady. An impatient hunter can't catch a rabbit."

Pausing for a while, he said, "Little guy, come to me as a consultant. The times are different now, and the world is dominated by young people. We old people also need to get in touch with young people and learn to see the world from a new perspective."

Zhang Xingming was taken aback, and turned to look at Mr. Shen.

The old man said with a smile: "Don't look at him, he wants to listen to me, and he dare not object to what I say."

A group of old people laughed, Zhang Xingming also laughed, shook his head, and found that he was still not good enough, he was still young, and couldn't hold back.

The old man said: "I agree with your views on the education system, but the road has to be taken step by step. This is a big thing, so there is no rush." ​​He turned to another old man beside him and said, "You can try it, take a piece Come out and let him do it, and you can also refer to his opinions on relevant laws and regulations. Only by brainstorming can we make fewer mistakes." The old man on the side nodded in agreement.

The old man turned his head and said to Zhang Xingming, "Tell me what you think, and I'll listen to it."

Zhang Xingming said: "I want to set up a foundation this year. The foundation mainly focuses on domestic education, including school construction, teacher coordination, equipment and facilities assistance, and student lunches, and to improve as much as possible. Let’s talk about transportation. At the same time, a periodical will be published, which can be regarded as a journal. Irregularly publish foreign and domestic educational events, write about the situation in the west to people in the east, and show the information in the east to the public. West, add some momentum to their lives.

There is also teacher subsidies. You may not know that there is another problem that it is difficult for rural children to go to school, that is, there are no teachers, but it is not that there are no teachers, but that the income of these teachers is too small to support themselves. , not to mention family members.Most of the teachers in the western mountainous areas are not even recognized as teachers. The teachers who can persist in teaching there are all people with great personalities. They persist because of their love for education and children.I want to help them, let them see the hope of their careers, and let them support their families with their own efforts. Of course, it would be even better if the country can have some policy support. His eyes may be bigger than the sky. "

The old man frowned, leaned back on the back of the sofa, and after a while turned his head and said to the old man on the side: "You should go down and take a walk, take a look, the place is biased, and you can't be biased. We must form a system and have a good understanding of grassroots work." People should think more about it and take care of it, and don't be an official."

Zhang Xingming said: "Grandpa, you can't blame the locality for this. It's too poor and backward, and the government is powerless. That's why I said to mobilize non-government forces as a powerful supplement to the government's work. A country is a country for everyone, not a certain country." Some people’s, not the government’s, actually I think the main job of the government should be coordination, supervision and service, rather than trying to manage everything from childhood to adulthood.

The eyes of the several old people who were sitting were all looking at Zhang Xingming. For a moment, Zhang Xingming felt an invisible pressure on him, and he couldn't help sweating a little.

The old man in the middle closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "Xiao Zhou."

A middle-aged man standing behind the old man immediately came over and said softly, "I'm here."

The old man pointed to Zhang Xingming and said, "Arrange for him to be my policy advisor. I will do it tomorrow." Xiao Zhou agreed, and then backed away. Immediately, Zhang Xingming could feel his gaze away from him. Lighten up.

The old man turned his face to Zhang Xingming and said, "What is the name of your fund? How much is it invested?"

Zhang Xingming said: "I plan to call it the Hope Foundation to bring hope to the children and cultivate hope to the motherland. For the time being, let's invest [-] million yuan in advance, and it will increase every year according to the situation. I also hope that through us, I can donate to private capital charity Get out of the way."

The old man nodded and said, "Okay, I hope the name is good, let's call it the National Hope Foundation, take more photos, and I'll take a look too." Zhang Xingming agreed.

The old man said again: "You are good at coordinating, supervising, and serving. Young people just need to be more active. If you have any detailed ideas, please show them to me. I will also learn. The country is reforming and opening up, and the government should also With the reform and opening up, the old routine will be discarded sooner or later, and government workers must keep learning, otherwise they will fall behind, and they will not be able to do their jobs well.”

Zhang Xingming agreed.

Half a circle of old people nodded their heads in agreement, looking thoughtful.

The old man closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa for a while, then said softly: "That's it, I'm tired, little baby, you can call Xiao Zhou if you have something to do, I'm old, and the phone can't be heard clearly. Write it down and show it to me, this consultant is not for nothing."

Zhang Xingming agreed, followed by the old men stood up, stepped on the thick carpet and left the room. The old man's thin body leaned on the sofa without opening his eyes, and Xiao Zhou stood quietly behind him.

"Speak without thinking, you, you are still too young."

Old Man Shen shook his head and commented on Zhang Xingming's performance in the meeting room.
