February 4, 1996, Lichun.

Rongcheng.

It has been two months and eight days since the publication of "The Future of China" and has sold nearly 1.2 million copies. Not only did domestic and foreign media come to interview, but booksellers in major cities also actively contacted Song Weiyang, wanting to hold some on-site signing for Song Weiyang. On the school side, the leaders of the law school also wanted Song Weiyang to give a speech about his expectations for the future of China.

Song Weiyang was so annoyed that as soon as the final exam was over, he accompanied his girlfriend back to Rongcheng to take the postgraduate examination.

The five authors of "China Can Say No" are just the opposite, with media interviews and book signings and sales every week. The funniest thing is that because the signing of the sale in the capital was sold out halfway, Xinhua Bookstore actually urgently transferred a bunch of pirated copies to sell to readers, and then asked the original author to sign them.

Before the outbreak of SARS, the time for postgraduate entrance examinations was not fixed, usually at the end of January, but also often at the beginning of February. This adds a bit of hardship to the graduate candidates, because often around the Spring Festival, the New Year is not comfortable!

Take 92 as an example, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is still far from the Lantern Festival, and the students walked into the examination room one by one.

This year is not bad, and I can just go home for the New Year after the graduate school entrance examination.

The test center was not closed, Song Weiyang sat on the campus, looking at the book. By the time Lin Zhuoyun finished the English test, he had already read a quarter of the book "Language and Symbolic Power".

The book is interesting, and the author, Bourdieu, argues that linguistic communication is also a disguised expression of group power relations. Any language exchange, use and expression involves factors related to the social space and location of the two parties to the communication, such as gender, education, class, location, etc.

The exchange of languages is not equal!

First of all, the official monopoly on the legalized language and the strengthening of the official language through education. In life, there is language power between superiors and subordinates, parents and children, intellectuals and ordinary people, and so on. At the same time, it can also be the other way around, for example, a candidate makes a canvassing speech and deliberately speaks the local dialect to curry favor with voters, which is called a "condescension strategy". The "condescension strategy" can negate and cover up the truth of verbal violence, strengthen the misrecognition effect, and thus strengthen the effect of verbal symbolic violence.

Song Weiyang is more concerned with the "economics of language exchange" in this book, and the process of language exchange also exists in the so-called "language market", there are producers and consumers of language, and there are also capital, value, profit and regulation laws. The speaker can seek the maximum expected language profit under the regulation of the rules of the language market.

This studies speech as a political economy, and once it is fully understood, it will surely kill all sides and become invincible...... The king of mouth cannons!

"Jingle bell!"

A bell rings, and the English test is over.

One after another, candidates came out, either frustrated, or excited, and there were acquaintances who asked each other.

When Song Weiyang saw Lin Zhuoyun coming over, he immediately put away "Language and Symbolic Power", and asked with a smile: "How did you do in the exam?"

"It's not bad, I've always been good at English," Lin Zhuoyun said, "but the math is a bit difficult, and after half a year of review, I can barely recover the level I had when I was in college." ”

"You'll be able to get by. Song Weiyang encouraged.

Lin Zhuoyun said worriedly: "There is one invigilator this time that I know. ”

Song Weiyang smiled: "It's better to meet acquaintances." ”

"I guess my dad will find out in a few days. Lin Zhuoyun said.

After Lin Zhuoyun resigned, her work relationship was not in Fudan, and if she wanted to apply for graduate school in Shenghai, the procedures were relatively cumbersome, so she simply returned to Xikang Province to register for the exam.

Until now, Lin Zhuoyun's father did not know that she had resigned......

What should come will always come.

When Lin Zhuoyun took the last subject, the old man appeared and collided with Song Weiyang on campus.

"Why are you here?" said the old man in surprise.

Song Weiyang greeted with a smile: "Hello uncle." ”

The old man said, "You have been very famous recently, and you have been on TV and published books." I've read your book, and it's not badly written. ”

"It's not worth mentioning, compared to an old professor like my uncle, I still need to continue to study hard. Song Weiyang has unconsciously used the "condescension strategy" to coax the other party first. To put it bluntly, it is to dwarf yourself, put a high hat on the other party, and pick what the other party likes to say.

The old man didn't think about the relationship between men and women, he said, "You seem to be studying in Shenghai?"

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "Teacher Lin is my freshman lecturer, she doesn't like politics, so she quit her job and wants to study in the Chinese Department of Fudan University." I happened to be on vacation, so I accompanied her to the exam. ”

"This girl, if you want to come out, it's a play!" The old man estimated that he was angry with his daughter, and his IQ temporarily dropped by several percent.

"Young people, it's normal to have her own pursuits, and she can't live under your wing for the rest of her life. Song Weiyang said.

The old man said: "Young people are easy to be impulsive, how can there be a lecturer who doesn't do it and goes to graduate school?"

Song Weiyang said: "You can't say that, you have to think in the long run. Even if she continues to be a lecturer, how many years will she have to wait before she can be rated as an associate professor? Academic qualifications are always a constraint! If she is admitted to Fudan as a graduate student, it will be different, the starting point will be higher, and when the time comes, she will be able to teach more smoothly. This is called sharpening the knife and not cutting wood. You say, isn't that the truth?"

The old man did not immediately refute it, and already agreed with Song Weiyang's point of view. After thinking about it, he said with a straight face: "Major events in life should be discussed with the elders first, and decisions should not be made with a hot head." ”

"Uncle is right, Mr. Lin should be criticized for this. Song Weiyang said with a smile.

The old man was actually very virtuous, he took out a cigarette and put it to his mouth, and suddenly said: "I'll go to the toilet to smoke, you wait here." ”

"You walk slowly. Song Weiyang shouted.

As soon as the old man disappeared, Song Weiyang immediately ran to the examination room. About 30 meters away from the classroom, he was stopped by the staff and couldn't take a step forward, so he had to wait far away against the flower bed.

The paper has been handed in in advance, and Lin Zhuoyun fills the time every time, carefully and repeatedly checking for mistakes and omissions.

About ten minutes later, the bell rang for the end of the exam.

Lin Zhuoyun seemed to have done very well in the exam, and when she saw Song Weiyang, she immediately pounced excitedly, hugged him with open arms and said, "I played extraordinarily today, I have the bottom in my heart!"

Other candidates looked sideways, especially fresh graduates, and pointed at Lin Zhuoyun's bold move.

Suffer!

Song Weiyang felt bad in his heart the moment he was hugged by Lin Zhuoyun, and hurriedly pushed his girlfriend away.

Sure enough, the old man sneered and came out of nowhere. He went to the toilet to smoke fake, and hid in the dark to observe the situation was real, but he was caught by him.

"Dad, why are you here?" Lin Zhuoyun exclaimed.

Song Weiyang smiled bitterly and said, "I ran to wait for you here in the teaching building, just to remind you, who knew that you would hug me without saying a word." ”

"What's the big deal, you know it," Lin Zhuoyun introduced, "Dad, this is my boyfriend Song Weiyang." ”

The old man's emotions were very complicated, but after all, he didn't have a seizure on the spot, nodded and said, "Go home for dinner!" He pointed at Song Weiyang again, "You are also with you." ”
