You've finished communicating with the secretary and dean, and you still ask me if it's okay to say a few words, right?

Shen Tiejun's eyebrows moved, fortunately, he has been a leader for more than a year, and he is a person who is used to seeing a lot of big scenes, when he was doing the graduation defense outside the sheep, the scene was not much worse than now, of course, the education of the following group is one level higher than at that time, at that time, the students below are at most juniors or seniors, and at this time, there are more than 1,000 people under the stage, and the most important ones are master's students - not counting those college students who came from Shuimu Yanyuan to join in the fun.

This is an opportunity! I should have been ready for it!

Under Kong Xiaoman's gaze, the detective signed a few fans who were still immature on their faces, and didn't want to wait until the last person, the man with long hair and beard opened his mouth with a red expression: "That, can you please write two more sentences?

"Oh, good!"

Shen Tiejun raised his eyebrows and looked at the immature face covered by his beard, nodded and took the pen to write in his notebook, then put the pen and cap in his hand in the notebook, handed it to Haisheng, and said, "I gave it to you——"

"Ahh

With a suppressed exclamation, Shen Tiejun nodded at Professor Lu, then turned around and buttoned up his suit and followed Xu Lao to the rostrum, he was still trying to talk about something, if there were some college students below, then he could talk about something casually, but think about the more than 1,000 graduate students-

Since the first batch of 448 master's students enrolled in the winter of 1978, by the spring of 1982, the number of graduate students in the graduate school has reached more than 1,700, and the first batch of more than 400 graduate students have completed their graduation defense or prepared for the doctoral examination.

However, whether they graduate and work or take the doctoral examination, these elites of the republic will become the backbone of the future reform, because the goal of the establishment of the graduate school is to train social science theoretical research professionals for the country's modernization, and in short, to provide theoretical support for the reform decisions of policymakers, which is an important sign that distinguishes it from whether it is a pat on the head or not.

For those things in his memory that have been repeated in the media, Shen Tiejun has not dared to say anything since he became a graduate student, specialism, designer theory, and Marx's conversion to the countryside, which is not to say that he does not remember the essence of these things, on the contrary, he has the ability to interpret these concise and concise things into long speeches as he has deepened his graduate studies, but he can't do that - the consequences of this are the same as entering the army, and they are the result of not being able to get out at that time.

However, Haisheng's appearance reminded Shen Tiejun that the following group of people represents the future of the republic, these people are different from the vast majority of college students who go to college just to win a career, of course, it is undeniable that the first batch of 448 people will have this idea, according to his understanding, there are people in the 77th class who have not been admitted to college for various reasons, and then apply for graduate school to gain a career idea, but even if these more than 400 people are, the next few classes are people who really want to enter this field and do a career idea！

As mentioned above, the identity of college students graduating at this time is a cadre, especially after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the first batch of 77 and the second batch of 78 are two sessions, the distribution of graduation is comparable to the list of sons-in-law during the big send-off period, the vast majority of them are not left in the major ministries or provincial and municipal levels, and those who can be assigned to the county are rare, and the treatment is needless to say, the existence of fragrant and sweet can not be described, the total population of the republic in 1981 is 1 billion, and the number of 77-level college students who graduated this year is 250,000, and the average of 4,000 people will be assigned to a college student in the unit, the proportion of 1 in 100,000 is still calculated to a high place.

People who apply for graduate school in this employment environment are people who really want to do something, these people are not graduate students who are admitted to solve the identity of food and clothing, of course, the existence of this kind of person cannot be ruled out, but such a choice also represents enough motivation, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a real practitioner, they have enough vision width and ambition to move forward, they just lack a long enough vision - and Shen Tiejun is not lacking a long enough vision.

With the opening ceremony one by one, Shen Tiejun, who was at the end of the room, finally listened to the speech of the teacher representative, and the host, Cheng Zhiqian, director of the Academic Affairs Office, took the microphone and opened his mouth: "Next, I would like to invite the graduate student to speak on behalf of Comrade Shen Tiejun, Comrade Shen Tiejun is a doctoral student in 80-level language application, and he promoted the establishment of the Vegetable Basket Project Office of the Ministry of Agriculture with the topic of the vegetable basket project, and served as the deputy director of the office in charge of theoretical research——"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa—"

Seeing Shen Tiejun on the rostrum standing up and walking to the podium, the warm applause instantly exploded in the auditorium, and the degree of enthusiasm provoked Xu Lao Ye to applaud with his happy hands, and Secretary Yu and Principal Lu next to him saw this and also patted along, obviously they didn't expect that this student comrade who had not met a few times would have such a big reputation in the school.

Shen Tiejun didn't expect to receive such a warm welcome, since he followed Professor Lu to the north, let alone when he was in the school, even the number of times he appeared in the school was only a handful, and the school leaders still gave Professor Lu a special message, so he had a general impression of him, and he was still arrogant and unsociable in his clothes - nothing else.

However, because he is the only doctoral student, Shen Tiejun, who is not well exposed in private, has a lot of admirers and admirers among the graduate students in the college, which is not only because he is the only doctoral student in the college, but also because he has formulated the topic of the vegetable basket project with an extremely far-sighted vision, and promoted the establishment of the corresponding department in the country!

This is what any graduate student in the liberal arts can dream of, and what could be more exciting than the direction in which your subject can guide the country?

Therefore, when Shen Tiejun appeared at the back door of the auditorium with Xu Lao, a sharp-eyed graduate student appeared from this very different dress and accompanying Xu Lao and Professor Lu, thus deducing that the doctoral student who saw the head and the end of the dragon was here!

Walking on the podium, Shen Tiejun looked at the more enthusiastic applause below with a smile on his face, and had to greet more than 1,000 people in the audience with a bright smile: "Thank you, thank you for giving me such a high courtesy, I am honored to be able to speak on behalf of the graduate students, graduate students and students studying at other universities, Charles Dickens said in his 1859 book A Tale of Two CitiesIt was the best of times, it was the worst of." times——”

"It's the best of times, it's the worst of times, and internationally, people like to divide time by chronology, and Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities was published in the fifties of the nineteenth century, and the background of the book is the French Revolution, and I think the "good" in the book refers to the change in the old system, and the "bad" is the thing that appears in the process of change that violates what is considered negative under the moral system of the old system-"

The purpose of the establishment of the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences is to build a grand contingent of Marxist theories, and the country needs us to find out the reasons for these phenomena after the chaos is rectified, and even expects us to be able to find out the reasons for these phenomena on the basis of finding out the causes. ”

"Before the chaos was rectified, I was a member of the third team and three groups of Shenjiawa Village, Hongqi Commune, Tianhe County, Anran District, Zhou Province, and what I dreamed of every day was how to perform positively, so as to get the few college places in the village, and in reality, I was concerned about when the factories in the county would recruit apprentices, this was what I thought when I was 16 years old in 1977, I used all the opportunities to learn, to learn from the educated youth——"

"After setting things right, I was admitted to the English major of Chung Yuan University, but unfortunately there was something wrong with the notice, and due to the lack of information and carelessness, when I received the admission letter, I had already taken the preliminary examination for graduate students, and after serious thinking, I decided to wait for the results of the preliminary examination, and the idea at that time was that the post office had already passed the university anyway, and it was not too late to report if I was not admitted to the graduate school——"

"At this point I see that some of you look surprised, some seem to be thinking, some are laughing knowingly, some are whispering—those who are surprised may wonder how I can be so philistine, may wonder how I can say it, those who think may think of the "good" and "bad" in A Tale of Two Cities that I talked about earlier, those who smile knowingly are likely to approve of my cleverness, and those who whisper are likely to be discussing the reasons why I say this-"

"Yes, the reason why I say this is echoing what I said earlier about "this is the best of times", and it is because of this "best of times" that I have gone from dreaming of getting a recommendation to go to college when I was in the field, to thinking that I can pass the graduate school examination and become a graduate student who is more "glorious" than college students, whether you despise my idea in your heart, or approve of me as a philistine who is out of human nature, this is all" The best of times" gave me the right – I could choose between college and graduate students!"

"Therefore, as a college student, I can stand on the moral high ground to criticize my behavior, after all, when Zhongyuan University issued an admission letter to me, it was bound to squeeze out a student who could have gone to college, but I took the right given to me by this "best era" to look forward to the arrival of the graduate admission letter, everyone should pay attention to this phenomenon, which can be summarized as a phenomenon that can only appear in the "worst era", so how do we solve this problem?"

"This problem is a trap, when you think about how to solve this problem, you have jumped in, because in my opinion, this problem does not need to be solved, the person who was able to be admitted to the university in 1977, he was also able to be admitted to the university in 1978, we all know that the two college entrance examinations are half a year apart, considering the gap between the marking work and the admission work at that time, that is, four or five months, if he did not take the 1978 college entrance examination, then I also have a clear conscience——"

Because when I became the youngest graduate student in the Republic at the age of 16, I began to enjoy the glory brought by the "best era", and at the same time began to feed back to this era to make it more brilliant, in addition to my poems "Style", "Will Not Forget" and "Army Soul", there are also my papers from "The Spring of English" to "A Preliminary Study of the Impact of the Collapse of the Golden Bridge System on Rural Education" to "A Preliminary Exploration of the Depth of the Vegetable Basket" Ten or twenty years later, when people talk about these fields of this era, they will inevitably be unable to avoid the imprint left by my Shen Tiejun——"

"Okay, Xiao Shen finished selling melons and blowing myself, I think everyone has a preliminary impression of me as a person, and out of the country's emphasis on social phenomena researchers like you and me, I can deservedly call the graduate students here, including me, the pillars and future of the country's expectations, our study is not to change our own destiny, this is just the most basic requirement, we are different from the essence of college students, that is, to shoulder the responsibility in this "best era" to find out the "era" The reason for the worst!"

"I don't ask you to solve it, after all, everyone's field of expertise is different, no one can solve all the problems, I only ask those here to find out, then you can gather everyone's strength, and even the strength of our group, to explore the things behind this reason, just like they can assume a problem in engineering, and then carefully verify to prove that they are right, I saw some students raise their hands, so please allow me to say that if there is a problem with the description of this metaphor, please ignore this problem, because I am not a doctoral student in engineering, thank you." 。 ”

"Everyone has heard me talk so much nonsense, then I, as a step ahead of the graduate students, will not let you get nothing in this speech, everyone here has a pair of eyes that see through the essence, but these eyes are blinded by all kinds of emotions, envy, jealousy, prejudice, arrogance, hostility, prejudice, these will blind your eyes, wear down your honesty, lower your standards, and snuff out your compassion. ”

First of all, we should not look at them with "colored" eyes, but at the national level, and even at the ethnic level, this group of people is the "cyst" that appears in the organization of our "country" There are two possibilities for cysts, one is benign, and we have no problem if we surgically cut it off, and the other is malignant, which is called cancer!"

"Cancer does not appear in an instant, it develops from diseased tissue to cyst, and then from cyst to cancer, and now the problem of unemployed youth is highlighted as the educated youth return to the city one after another, originally in my opinion there is already a phenomenon that can alleviate its changes, that is, the "individual economy" that the state has recognized, presumably I said this, everyone's colored eyes and prejudices and even prejudices will appear again, thinking that this group is embarrassing——"

"So what I want to say here is that if college students think so, it's understandable, because they are still in the learning stage, and the difference between them and high school students, junior high school students, and even elementary school students is only from learning additivity to calculus, but if all the graduate students here think so, that is, in my eyes, your level is not even as big as their contribution to this country, because you have neglected the cultivation of the country in vain, and the country has recognized them, why do you feel that they are inferior?"

"This is the best era, they can go back to the city, they can say things that they didn't dare to say before, they can see things that they couldn't see before, but then the problem comes, the population in the city is saturated, and the state can't solve the problem of the survival of the excess population, so they are encouraged to fend for themselves, these people are carrying the burden on the staggering road, they pay not only for themselves, but also for the country, they can effectively reduce the burden of the country at the same time, but also shoulder the historical responsibility of seeking a way forward for the country。 ”

"And as a graduate student, what we have to study is how to look at the positive and negative meanings behind their phenomenon, good, doing business is like a 10,000-yuan household in the countryside, bad, being deceived when doing business, the former makes people look up, the latter makes people sympathize, but whether it is good or bad, they are practicing the responsibility of the people, these are things that have appeared, and there will be more phenomena in the future, such as the fever of going abroad that has been on the rise, many students and even intellectuals have gone out, and some people are never going back, these are also good times, negative things。 ”

"After the country set things right, all kinds of negative phenomena immediately appeared, due to the choice of professional reasons, I personally have a better understanding of foreign information, last year's successful launch of the American space shuttle, can be regarded as a milestone in the history of ultra-cutting-edge technology, the difference between this aircraft and the rocket is that it can be reused, and reuse can reduce the cost of outer space exploration, and the cost can be reduced to increase the number of uses, and then you can obtain more experience and newer technology——"

"The moon abroad is as bright as in China, for engineering graduate students, the iteration difference of technology there is relatively large, which is also the reason why the first batch of international students in our country are mainly concentrated in engineering, but in the social sciences, I personally think there is no comparison, because the cultural nature of the two sides is different, and the obligation of parents is to try your best to provide you with the conditions for growing up and studying from birth to eighteen years old, after the age of eighteen, you have to find your own way out, and then continue to live in your parents' house is also required for their permission, otherwise they will find the police——”

"It's similar to the habits of some creatures in nature, when you grow up and learn the art of predation, you will be kicked out of the house, I don't need to ask you to know that you will never be like them, drive your children out of the house when they are eighteen years old and let them fend for themselves, even if it is against your will or even if he breaks your heart, this is the fundamental difference between the two cultures, if you are lucky enough to come to that land in the future, I have a word of advice, that is, please protect your body, don't get sick-"

"On the surface, the medical measures over there are very good, but that is based on the fact that you have complete medical insurance, otherwise there is a problem that you will be sent to the hospital by ambulance, and the cost of the ambulance is 150 to 200 dollars, and then you need to go to the hospital to measure your blood pressure, which is about 50 to 100 dollars, and then the emergency department costs 100 dollars, and the hospital is 50 dollars, and if you have an appendectomy that requires minor surgery, it is about 5,000 to 8,000 dollars, and there is another person who has appendicitis after landing, and after learning the price, he flew back——”

Shen Tiejun's words made the entire auditorium quiet, he talked for almost half an hour, seeing the secretaries and principals on the rostrum on both sides throw him with eye darts from time to time, he felt that what he wanted to say today was almost finished, so he smiled and said: " That's why I said at the beginning that this was the best of times, that our group of people had the opportunity to enjoy treatment that our predecessors did not enjoy, and that it was also the worst of times, and that the end of the French Revolution was seen, and the end of the monarchy opened their Golden Bridge era, but it came to naught after a few months of existence.

We are very fortunate to be the vested interests in the period of change of the times, so we have the responsibility and ability and obligation to help this era become better, here is only a passage that I once published in the people's daily newspaper, to encourage you: 5,000 years ago, we faced the same flood as the ancient Egyptians;

Four thousand years ago, we played with bronze like the ancient Babylonians;

Three thousand years ago, we thought about what philosophy was, just like the ancient Greeks;

Two thousand years ago, we were on a campaign like the Romans;

A thousand years ago, we were as rich as the Arabs;

Now, let's talk about the long and the bad with the United States!

For 5,000 years, we have not left the world's poker table, but our opponents have changed rounds several times, and some countries have forgotten their mother tongue after colonization by colonizers, and it is sad that the language of colonizers has become the official language.

At present, the country is very backward, and it can even be called a hundred wastes waiting to be rebuilt, but it is precisely because of her backwardness that we should build her better, you and I are both sons of this land, you are a group of Yanhuang descendants who grew up eating mother's milk and drinking your father's blood, do you want to be a rebel? !

I think that I, Shen Tiejun, can be born at such a time, how fortunate I am, and now I have a miscellaneous poem to send to you:

My country and I cannot be separated for a moment—"
