At the beginning of July, the school contacted Lu Yan and asked if he wanted to come to this year's graduation ceremony.

At the graduation ceremony of the Central University, some outstanding alumni will go back every year.

And catch up with the kind of celebration that whole number of years, and go back even more.

Although this year is not a whole number of years, there is an alumnus who has returned from the rank of official to deputy minister. Some teachers in the school admired Lu Yan quite a lot, so they thought about matching him and introducing him.

This is the benefit of studying in a top prestigious school, after coming out, you can meet too many powerful alumni.

Although it doesn't matter what you don't see, after all, it's a chance, and how many people can't ask for it!

And for Lu Yan, it is also good to have more connections like this.

In mid-July, I drove back to the school, brought some things first, and went to see my graduate supervisor, Wei Min.

The latter's appearance was still the same, and he looked at Lu Yan with a smile and said, "You have changed quickly, it has only been a long time, and there is another multi-billion dollar company." ”

Lu Yan said: "The so-called valuation is all virtual, and this thing is a service company." In my heart, the microelectronics manufacturing industry is the cornerstone of the country!"

Wei Min said: "That is the case, but if your company develops well, it is also beneficial to the country and the people! I have sat there a few times in the past two days, which is indeed quite convenient!"

Lu Yan was surprised, "The teacher is also seated?"

Wei Min has a good car and lives in a villa, so the living conditions are not bad.

"I just want to try what you made, what the hell is going on. It feels so good, and the subsidy is very high, you guys spent a lot of money!"

Lu Yan nodded, "It's almost a billion!"

Wei Min's eyes widened, "One billion, spend so much, how dare you not post so much, aren't you afraid of losses?"

Lu Yan smiled: "Internet business warfare is different from the real economy. Once a company's market share exceeds a certain threshold, and its products and services are not problematic, it will only get stronger and stronger.

Once the market is unified, sooner or later you can earn it back!"

Wei Min said the word "monopoly" with palpitations, and said slowly: "The teacher doesn't understand that, so I hope you, don't forget the original intention of learning from me, and contribute more to the development of the microelectronics industry!"

Lu Yan said: "I remember, teacher, in fact, I want to invest in the microelectronics industry through the money I earn in other industries!"

Wei Min praised: "I know that you are different from other businessmen, and the teacher supports you!"

After a pause, he said, "By the way, what do you want to say when the outstanding alumni speak?"

Lu Yan thought for a while and said, "What good proposal does the teacher have?"

Wei Min didn't expect this kid to throw the topic back.

"Well, anyway, it's the country, education, entrepreneurship, I hope you can have something to say, don't talk clichés, say something that inspires the people!

Or maybe it's okay to feel your life feelings. I think you've got a lot of ideas, really!"

Lu Yan hummed and pondered: "Emotion, in fact, the biggest emotion in the last two years is that I think our country's education is quite fair!"

Wei Min was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Oh, your idea is very special!"

Speaking of this, he noticed the language disease, and hurriedly said: "Of course, I think so too, but many people of your age have a critical eye on the education of our country!"

Lu Yan smiled: "That's because they are too naïve!"

"Tell me carefully, what do you think?"

Wei Min was interested and sat upright on the chair. After thinking about it, he took out a bottle of mineral water from under the desk and handed it to Lu Yan.

The latter took a sip before saying: "Well, the topic of education is too broad, let's start with American education, which is admired by many people!"

"You speak!"

"Many people say that American education encourages students to think critically and innovatively, while Chinese education is ignorant and backward. But I would say that they are too one-sided.

Educational resources in the United States are polarized, and most of the finances of public primary and secondary schools come from the property tax of the houses of the residents of the parish.

Therefore, in the rich areas with high property taxes, the quality of primary and secondary schools is good. Educational resources are poor in poor areas with low property taxes, which is actually a bit similar to China.

Wei Min nodded, noncommittal.

Lu Yan continued: "In order to let their children enjoy a better education, the top rich people in the United States have no choice but to buy houses in rich areas, and they also send their children to private schools and church schools.

Such schools enjoy much greater autonomy than public schools, and the government has no right to intervene in the pricing of tuition, the selection of teaching materials, the recruitment of personnel, the construction of facilities, and so on.

Tuition fees cost tens of thousands of dollars a year, which is more expensive than many universities, and ordinary families simply can't reach them. The teachers in the school often have master's and doctoral backgrounds and have mastered the most advanced educational concepts.

Wei Min nodded: "Almost, that's it!"

"This kind of school exists to cultivate the next generation of elites who have considerable critical thinking ability and innovation ability to rule society, and the poor are excluded.

But in our country, there is a lack of this kind of school, which makes many rich people entangled.

Leave your children in the country, the educational advantages are not obvious enough.

Send it away, because if you can't manage the children nearby, the children will easily grow crooked and become the best at squandering assets, but they can't take over the existence of the family business. ”

When Wei Min heard this, he nodded: "It's kind of interesting!"

"The reason for this is that the current education system in China has not yet been able to give the elite the ability to reproduce themselves.

They climbed to the top of society through self-struggle and serendipity, but they were unable to pass on the success of these capital to the next generation.

Although they are exploring the education of their children, such as carrying out political and business training as soon as possible, sending them abroad, and so on. But these are not structural solutions, and they cannot be compared with the systematic elite cultivation model in Europe and the United States. I also have to face problems such as my parents' busy work, improper exercise methods, and ungrounded back to China.

Wei Min's children are also abroad, and obviously they have similar feelings about children's education, but they are not as thorough as Lu Yan said.

sighed: "It's really like what you said!"

He immediately raised his head and said with a smile: "Then have you ever thought about running an elite school from elementary school to high school? It should be welcomed by many parents?"

Lu Yan smiled, "My son is still young, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future!"

However, on this topic, the current education model is not good for the domestic elite and good news for the vast number of people at the bottom.

It shows that the channel for social ascent formed through education has not been blocked. The elite generation has not been able to steadily cultivate the second generation of elites, or in other words, many rich people have not yet cultivated the elite consciousness of the next generation.

Many children from poor families still have the opportunity to achieve class leapfrogging through education.

However, one thing that needs to be said is that the United States has been developing steadily for 300 years, and the social class has long been solidified.

In China, it has not been a hundred years, and many people have become rich in 30 years.

Wei Min said: "You are faster than them, and you have only started in five or six years!"

Lu Yan smiled, neither modest nor boastful, but said: "In fact, throughout human history, the ruling class of any era tends to be aristocratic hereditary.

Achieving social mobility through education and enabling children from poor families to get ahead through reading is a unique invention of our country.

Unlike our college entrance examination, which is a lifelong college entrance examination, the standard test scores are not unique for college admissions in the United States.

In addition to the scores, it is also necessary to comprehensively examine the personal essays submitted by the students, the recommendation letters from the teachers, and meaningful extracurricular activities.

Aren't you talking about these things for the children of poor families?"

Wei Min nodded, it's true!

In China, no matter how poor the place, no matter how poor the family.

As long as this child is smart and diligent enough, he will also have the opportunity to go to a top school, 985 and 211.

In the United States, is it possible?

People are quality education, you said that you came from a small place, you are poor and inferior, and you don't have a letter of recommendation. I also participated in extracurricular activities, and I didn't have a ...... of eloquence and talent.

Lu Yan continued: "Of course, the current college entrance examination system is not without problems at all, such as the disconnection between what is learned and society, and the ability of students to solve problems mechanically, calculate meticulously and memorize by rote, but I still think these things are very fair!"

Students, regardless of whether they are from rich or poor backgrounds, as long as they choose the path of the college entrance examination, will suffer from this kind of torture.

Instead of being like the elite families in the United States, they use money to help their children "cut corner......s".

Lu Yan talked a lot, mainly because he was really emotional.

In my previous life, I realized what I missed after I lost it.

The college entrance examination is really the greatest benefit that the country gives to the people at the bottom!

......

Wei Min pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Having said so much, what do you think? Running elite education and steadily cultivating the next generation for the elite class of society? This is a very broad market!"

Do you know that in fact, many rich people in China are worried about the education of their children!"

Lu Yan said: "I know, aren't they just worried that their children's advantages are not obvious enough!"

"Then you talk so much, what do you plan to do in the future?"

Lu Yan said: "I think that I can talk to the people of the whole country and those children who are still studying, and I want them to cherish the opportunity and study hard!"

Wei Min was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Your idea is very good!"

Lu Yan said: "Not only do I have these ideas, but I also plan to set up an education fund to help poor students in poor areas in China!"

Wei Min said slowly: "What you think and do is really better than many middle-aged people, it really doesn't look like a child in his early twenties."

Many people at your age are still complaining about the hardships of going to school!"

Lu Yan smiled, "Maybe, I think more about it!"

After chatting for a while, Lu Yan left Wei Min's office and went to find Jiang Hongxue, the original instructor.

This is still a tutor, got married last year, and his life is still good.

Seeing the original students, today's rich people still remember her, quite complacent.

I said hello to a few colleagues in the house, came out with Lu Yan, and went to the playground.

After a few words of gossip, Lu Yan said: "By the way, Sister Hongxue, do you have a DV? When I give a speech, please use DV to help me record the video!"

Jiang Hongxue was stunned when she heard this, because there were teachers who took pictures and videos at the scene.

But Lu Yan felt that the feeling of recording was too official, so it was better to call an acquaintance and record a convenient one.

"Oh, yes, why do you still want to keep the video of the speech?"

Lu Yan smiled: "I was thinking, if the effect is good, I will post the video of the speech on the Internet!"

Jiang Hongxue smiled: "With your current popularity, the click rate is not less!"

"I don't want that, I just want to do what I can!"

After chatting, Jiang Hongxue went back to get the DV and didn't mention it, Lu Yan went to visit the school leaders again.

When the graduation ceremony began, Lu Yan communicated with the school leaders and other outstanding alumni according to the process.

Then when he came to the stage to speak, he gave a speech on his views on education in our country.

Many students at the scene were very surprised to hear it, but they never expected that Lu Yan chose such a theme.

I didn't expect that Lu Yan would speak so sharply during the speech.

Among them, those from low-level families who enroll in school very much agree with Lu Yan's statement. More people are lost in thought.

Of course, applause is indispensable.

After the graduation ceremony, Lu Yan got the video of the speech from Jiang Hongxue and posted it on the Internet.

mentioned on Weibo that a small video edited out of the daily headlines was pushed and became popular all over the Internet.

"Lu Yan talks about the fairness of education in my country!"

"The college entrance examination is the greatest benefit for the people at the bottom!"

"If in the United States, the children of the poor are not eligible to go to prestigious schools!"

Articles with related titles have swept the Internet and become one of the hottest topics this summer.

The major media sent out interview invitations one after another, but even CCTV couldn't sit still, so they invited Lu Yan to go and had a good talk again.

What Lu Yan said is similar to what he said in the previous video, he is urging everyone to study hard.

Especially for people with average family backgrounds, without the college entrance examination, you can't fight with the rich second generation.

And through the college entrance examination, you still have hope.

......

At this moment, educational equity has become a topic that has triggered a great discussion in the whole society.

Someone asked, you Lu Yan is now at the forefront of the rich in China, and your children are also proper children of rich families. Then will you let him receive that kind of elite education abroad?

Lu Yan said directly: "I will let him receive nine years of compulsory education in China, take the college entrance examination, and study in a domestic university." He probably won't study abroad, because when he grows up, I believe that our country will already stand proudly among the nations of the world!

Then why let him out?"

As soon as these words came out, countless netizens applauded, thinking that Lu Yan's answer was too witty!

Of course, some people say that he just let his children take the college entrance examination in China, and he must also learn other things.

Then the netizen replied, "Your child, don't you go to interest classes?"

Then, Lu Yan announced that he would set up a scholarship fund for poor students in poor areas in China with 100 million yuan to help them complete their studies.

At the same time, I once again call on students across the country to cherish the opportunity and study hard!

For a time, Lu Yan's image was extremely tall among many students' parents.

I think this is a public figure with positive energy!

Evenly, the sales volume of Lu Yan's company's products also skyrocketed this summer!
