On September 8, 1990, it was sunny and windy.

In front of a dusty police 212, four leopards in the ravine stood there, looking up at the Northeast Institute of Technology, a school with a history of more than 60 years.

Beyond the European-style stone pillars and through the dense woods, you can see the high European-style spire of the main building in the center of the school, on which the five-star red flag flutters.

The predecessor of Northeast Institute of Technology was Northeastern University, which was established in 1922 by the order of the King of Northeast China, becoming the first in old China and the first modern university with the most comprehensive disciplines in the history of Chinese education. The Department of Grammar and Law consists of the Department of Chinese Literature, the Department of English, the Department of Russian Literature, the Department of Law, and the Department of Political Science, and the Department of Science and Engineering, which consists of the Department of Mathematics, the Department of Physics, the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Civil Engineering, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and the Department of Architecture.

Zhang Shizhao, Liang Shuming, Luo Wengan, Feng Zuxun, Liu Xianzhou, Huang Kan, Liu Bannong, Liang Sicheng, Lin Huiyin and other historical celebrities were all teachers in this school.

The first to advocate coeducation, the first to build a sports college, in 1929, the students of Tokyo University formed a football team, the basketball team, and went to the RB to win.

The first to send staff to participate in the Olympic Games, the first foreign language college, China's first electronic computer, China's first university journal "Scientific Research Materials", China's first scientific report, the first student science and technology association in the history of Chinese universities, the first fatigue design monograph "Fatigue Strength Design", the academic research of many professors of the school has become a popular textbook in domestic universities.

This is a school that has a very strong mark in the history of modern education in China. In 1993, Northeast Institute of Technology resumed its original name as Northeastern University, and hired General Zhang Liuzi, the founder and former president of the school, as the lifelong honorary president.

"The school is so big. Brother Devil, do you say that this school compound is bigger than our county?" Xiaohong sighed as she looked at the mysterious school gate.

Xiaowei nodded and said, "It shouldn't be close, I used to think that the county seat was so big." ”

Li Zhonghua said on the side: "This school compound is much larger than our county, and it must be as big as three or four. Don't look for it in school, you can't find a place to go to class, you can't find a place to live when you go back, haha, that's interesting. Don't run around alone until you get acquainted, don't you listen? There are a lot of woods in this school, and sometimes there is no one all day long, if you are really confused, it will be over. ”

Xiaohong stuck out her tongue, twisted and said to Li Zhonghua, "Uncle Li, have you been in?"

Li Zhonghua nodded and said, "I have studied here twice, for a total of three or four months, and now I still have many places to find when I go in." Look at the right, that is Nanhu Park, you can go there if you have nothing to do, it is also big, there are several county towns, there are a lot of fun in it, it is a place to relax. ”

Xiao Wei and Xiao Hong looked at what Li Zhonghua said, and saw a circle of iron railings painted with blue paint, an iron gate in the distance, and four big characters on the door: Nanhu Park. Looking through the gap in the railing, the lush trees stretch out, and inside is the lake that cannot be seen at a glance, the lake shines like a mirror with blue sky and white clouds, several small boats are swaying on the water, and from time to time unrecognizable birds fly through the water and forests, and a few pleasant chirps are heard.

Xiaohong clenched her hands into fists in front of her chest, and couldn't help but say, "You have to ask for money to go in, right? It must be quite expensive." ”

Xiao Wei stared intently at that side and said, "Well, I have to give money." Everything in the city costs money, and once you enter, you may lose the money for a meal. ”

Xiaohong said: "Then let's not go in, let's just watch outside, it's good." ”

Xiaowei said: "It's okay, I'll make money, you can enter if you want to." ”

"Hello, classmates, are you new students who have come to report?" a voice sounded in front of several people.

Xiaowei and Xiaohong were shocked back to their senses by the words, and turned their heads to look over, and a short-haired girl with sweat on her head was standing in front of several people, looking at them.

Xiaohong said: "Well, yes, I'm here to report, hello classmates." ”

The female classmate had a smile on her face and said, "It's the first time you've come to Mukden, right? Where did it come from?"

Xiaohong said: "I'm from Cupxi City, it's the first time I've come to Fengtian, it's so big, where are you, classmate?"

The female classmate guided a few people to the school gate and said, "My family is from Pulandian, one year older than you, come here, bring the notice?"

As soon as you enter the school gate, there are some tables and chairs on both sides of the road, on which are hung red cloths: the new student registration office.

Several people followed the female classmate over, and the female classmate said as she walked: "My name is Chen Shulan, what is your name?"

Xiaohong raised her hand and brushed her hair and said, "My name is Wang Xiaohong, Sister Shulan, is it expensive to eat here?"

Chen Shulan shook her head and said, "It's not expensive, it's delicious, it's here, Xiaohong, you take out the notice and want to register." ”

Wang Xiaohong took the notice from her pocket.

In the early 80s, universities were all free, and the state also gave subsidies on a monthly basis, and some students could even send money home every month, you must know that at that time, more than ten or twenty yuan a month was enough to be regarded as a huge amount of money.

By 85 years, the state proposed that unplanned enrollment could be carried out, and college students were divided into two parts, one part was not to pay tuition and received subsidies, and one part had to pay tuition and living expenses, but it was not much, generally one or two hundred yuan.

In 89, the state began to implement a university fee system, 200 yuan tuition, but the state subsidy is still available.

It lasted until 96 years, the national university tuition pole vault, suddenly reached three or four thousand five or six thousand, the state subsidy was also canceled, college became the biggest burden on Chinese families, this situation continued until 2005, college became the second burden, the first burden is to buy a house, this is more ruthless than going to college, going to college is more than ten or twenty years of income, and the house is a lifetime.

The reason why there are fewer students in college during this period is because of the small enrollment and high competition, and the second is the problem of money. It doesn't cost a penny to study in a technical secondary school, the state fully subsidizes it, and you can get money home every month, which is the same as paying a salary.

Wang Xiaohong handed the notice to Chen Shulan, Chen Shulan took it and looked for it on the roster, rummaged through it for a while, and said: "Xiaohong, you have been assigned to the Department of Management Engineering, study management, hehe, I will register you." ”

Filled out a few forms, asked Wang Xiaohong to sign, charged 200 yuan for tuition and 30 yuan for dormitory, Chen Shulan checked the dormitory again, found the list and took the key, and said: "Let's go, I'll take you to the dormitory, you just came and you probably can't find it." Do you have any luggage?"

Xiaohong nodded and said, "I brought it, in the car." Turning his head to look at Xiaowei, Xiaowei said, "I'll go get it, you wait here for a while." ”

At this time, there are not many university admissions, they are all striving for excellence, and a small number of unplanned admissions are only a little bit, so the reception of new students at this time is very relaxed, and the campus is also quiet.
