Rebirth of the Wild Age

348【Dissertation defense】

The students in the graduating class finally came back. Apart from Ding Ming, several buddies in the dormitory also reunited again.

Just like when they first entered the school, they mobilized in groups based on the dormitory, laughing and making noise and going to the classroom, waiting to accept the thesis defense.

Wang Bo was a head shorter than Peng Shengli. He slanted his arms and crossed his shoulders and asked, Old Peng, I heard that you have become a department manager in Ding Ming's company?

The main thing is to attract customers, Peng Shengli said, I assign work to the employees below. They can handle small orders. When encountering large orders that cannot be handled but have opportunities, I will bring technicians to the door in person.

Okay, I've become a leader now. Wang Bo said enviously.

Li Yaolin said: We should be envious of you, you will definitely be a high official in the future.

Wang Bo waved his hands and complained bitterly: Don't mention it, I just run errands. The focus of the mission this year is to promote re-employment, help those laid-off young workers change their minds, cooperate with relevant departments, train their vocational skills, and provide re-employment information services I'm working on the 'Youth Business Leaders' project, and I've been assigned several laid-off youths, saying that they want to start a partnership enterprise. Oh, my mother, where are they starting a company, it's me who is starting a company. Even the company license needs my help to run.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, Yes, you are highly valued by the leader. Before the work relationship becomes regular, you have already been assigned actual tasks.

The water here is very deep. Fortunately, there is a leader who is a senior from Fudan University, otherwise I can only be an old scalper, Wang Bo said, Do you understand the old scalpers? Every unit has one or two. If you have something to do , credit to others, if there is a problem, you will be blamed.

Li Yaolin said: The state-owned enterprises are similar. I have seen it. Fortunately, we are graduates from prestigious schools and have registered with the leaders. Otherwise, we will be a scalper for the rest of our lives.

Wang Bo laughed and said, That's why I envy Ding Ming and Peng Shengli. It's only fun working in a private company. It's very clear what is right and what is wrong.

Why didn't Lao Zhou talk? Li Yaolin asked.

Zhou Zhengyu yawned and said, I've been busy learning English during this period, practicing oral English with foreign teachers during the day, and memorizing vocabulary at night. I'm going crazy. You know, since I was a sophomore, which English exam did I not make up? I still passed the CET-4 test. Now let me take the TOEFL test, how can I pass it?

Did you copy CET-4?

Didn't you go to study in the UK? Take a damn TOEFL.

Peng Shengli and Nie Jun asked questions at the same time, and their concerns were obviously different.

When I took the fourth level exam, the person sitting in front of me was a master, and I knew him a long time ago. I gave him 200 yuan before the exam, and promised to give him 300 yuan after the exam, so I passed the risk. Zhou Zhengyu Answer two questions separately, As for the TOEFL test, it was my father's idea. He said that a British diploma is not as good as an American one, so he insisted on letting me study in the United States, and even hired a foreigner to teach me oral English.

While chatting, several people had already come outside the defense classroom, and other students in the class came over to catch up.

Song Weiyang was naturally the focus of everyone's conversation, and there were some people who were uncomfortable working in the internship unit and wanted to join Song Weiyang's company.

Around noon, it was finally Song Weiyang's turn to reply.

There was a professor, two associate professors and a lecturer sitting on it. Song Weiyang bowed and saluted, and said with a smile, Everyone, good morning! I am Song Weiyang from Class 1 of Sociology, student number xxxxxx, and the title of my thesis is China Research on the Relationship between the Economic Situation of Villages and Towns and the Food Crisis. Here, I would like to say sorry to Professor Sun. I would like to express my respect and gratitude to the four teachers, thank them for their tireless teaching in the past four years, and thank them for their tireless participation in my dissertation defense today.

Professor Sun asked with a smile: This is the first time I've read your thesis today. Why didn't you show it to me in advance? Anyway, I'm also your thesis advisor.

Song Weiyang said: I stayed in the countryside for nearly three months and visited three provinces in the eastern, central and southwestern parts of our country, a total of 9 townships and 41 villages. At the beginning, the direction of my thesis was to explore the economics of Chinese villages and towns. The relationship between the market and the increase in domestic demand was soon changed to the issue of agriculture, rural areas and rural areas. But these topics are too big and there are too many problems, and I am not a student who can discuss and study them. So, I turned my direction to the issue of food, Collecting materials and data from various sources, the dissertation was not completed until a few days ago, and I did not have time to show it to the instructor.”

Professor Sun said, Let's get started.

Song Weiyang said:

First of all, I would like to introduce the main content of this graduation thesis to the teachers. It is mainly divided into two parts: first, it is the collapse of China's village and town economic market in recent years. Since the reform and opening up, China's village and town economy has developed rapidly. Village-run enterprises and Township enterprises have sprung up, especially township enterprises, which have become an indispensable part of China's economy. But since 1987, the village economy has gone from bad to worse, and the problems of rural areas, farmers, and agriculture have become increasingly prominent...Farmers have no money Yes, their money has been squeezed dry by three-point and five-point adjustments and additional apportionments, and counting the costs of seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, irrigation, etc., farmers’ growing staple food is already a substantial loss of economic behavior.”

This leads to the second content of this thesis, which is the food crisis. This time I mainly investigate the provinces with large output in the Yangtze River Basin, and the situation of cultivated land abandonment has become more and more serious. Since these areas are close to the Yangtze River waterway, information and ideas The concept is relatively open, and many farmers choose to go out to work when they are losing money in growing grain.

The situation is more serious in rural areas with more developed transportation. For example, in xx village in xx province, there are 1,106 young and middle-aged people in the village, and about 400 of them work in coastal provinces. They only need to work for 4 to 6 months to buy The whole year's grain can be returned, and the public grain can be retained. If the husband goes out to work, the land at home is basically cultivated by the wife. If the couple work together, the land can only be abandoned or lent to relatives and friends for cultivation. This village The abandoned area of ​​cultivated land in the village is about 0.6%. From the statistics, it seems that there is no big problem, but its trend is terrible. Because only three years ago, the abandoned area of ​​cultivated land in this village was only 0!

Let's look at xx village, which is closer to the coastal area. There are 967 young and middle-aged people in this village, about 500 of whom choose to go out to work, and the area of ​​cultivated land abandoned has reached 1.4%. Most of the village is the elderly, women, and children. The local nickname Most of the young and middle-aged men left in the 386199 Unit. There are two main reasons. The cadres of this village are village bullies, and the apportionment fees are very high. The land in this village is not fertile and the output is relatively low. Low. Driven by the awareness of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, farmers can make choices very easily, and such choices develop in a snowball style. Three years ago, less than 200 people in this village went out to work. Pioneers stood in the city With a firm foothold, they made money again, and soon more villagers joined in.”

We might as well speculate that in two years, if the central government does not abolish the agricultural tax and reduce the burden on farmers, how many farmers are willing to farm? If they go out to work for half a year, they can earn more money and buy more grain , Why do you still have to stay in the land to dig food? When more and more young people go out to work, and even women follow, only the elderly and children are left in the countryside.”

The abandoned area of ​​rural cultivated land will not increase little by little, but will increase geometrically. If there are too many young and middle-aged people who go out to work, those who stay in the countryside will not be able to grow, and the abandoned area will suddenly reach the red line. The area adjacent to the Yangtze River Delta In xx province, although the government announced that the abandoned area of ​​arable land is less than 1%, according to the field survey data I obtained, the abandoned area is likely to be close to 2%, or even more...

The four teachers looked at each other in blank dismay. The content of this topic is huge, and it is enough for a graduate thesis.

If Song Weiyang added the solution in the thesis, it would be a doctoral level thesis, that's right.

Yes, Song Weiyang only studied the status quo and did not give a solution. But it is clearly stated between the lines that if there is any change, the agricultural tax must be abolished.

Professor Sun asked: Your paper involves several provinces in the Yangtze River Basin. Is the data accurate? Have you conducted field investigations?

Song Weiyang said: I spent 150,000 yuan to organize an investigation team.

Professor Hu couldn't help laughing: Boss Song is really generous, my annual research funding is not as much as a fraction of 150,000.

Ms. Hu was joking, Song Weiyang said, I'll sponsor our Department of Sociology with 500,000 yuan later.

Professor Pan suddenly said, Are you trying to bribe us?

Song Weiyang said: Then I won't sponsor?

Don't, Professor Pan said hastily, If you don't sponsor me, I will become a sinner of the Sociology Department!

This dissertation defense was turned into a chat. It can be seen that Song Weiyang has a good relationship with the teachers, and his thesis is so good that it is impossible not to pass.

Professor Sun asked: Is the countryside really what you said in your paper?

Song Weiyang said: In scoring areas, the more open the area, the less attention is paid to the land. And the more closed areas are still the same, and some people even fight for land. I remember that Professor Sun also went to the countryside to be an educated youth before. In your impression, the scene of traffic on the rice paddies, chickens and dogs hearing each other may not be seen again in a few years. Some people work in the coastal areas, and some work in local counties, causing the seasonal abandonment of cultivated land. For example, harvesting Instead of staple food such as corn and wheat, farmers used to grow auxiliary crops such as peanuts and potatoes. But now farmers don’t grow peanuts and potatoes, but go out to do odd jobs nearby. The more slack the time is, the less people can be seen in the countryside. Maybe When you go back to the countryside where you used to be an educated youth, all you see are the old, the weak, women and children, there is no harvest and excitement, only desolation and dilapidation. Land abandonment is only an economic problem, it is only a food crisis, it will also bring about changes in the rural social structure, and The growth and education of left-behind children is another issue.

Professor Pan said: I am not qualified to comment on your paper, and I have no research on rural issues. However, your behavior is worthy of praise. Students in the Department of Sociology should pay attention to practical social issues.

Professor Sun said: You talked too much in your self-report, and it's timed out. Let the next classmate come in. By the way, remember to submit an article to the social science edition of Fudan Journal, and I will also pass it up for you. The paper should be given sufficient attention by the relevant departments.
