Chapter 701: Attitude
The unfair distribution of educational resources is one of the drawbacks of school education in China. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Children from wealthy families receive different educational resources from children from ordinary families, children in the city and children in rural areas, children in key middle schools and children in non-key middle schools.
According to the statistics of 2000, children from the upper strata of society accounted for more than 60 per cent of the key secondary school students.
More than 60 percent of children from low-income families are unable to enter key middle schools.
Key middle schools are divided into national key, provincial and municipal key schools.
This division means that the educational resources are tilted, and the teaching quality and teachers of national key middle schools are definitely superior to other middle schools, and parents want their children to go to the center.
Children from ordinary families rely on test scores to get on the spot, and children from wealthy families will try their best to send their children to key middle schools even if they can't pass the exam.
As a result, there are charges under various names, and black-box operations.
The inequality of educational resources affects the future development of millions of children.
Some people say that rural children can also be admitted to key universities and start a business to become rich, depending on their own efforts.
There are many such examples, which are very inspiring, but in terms of the overall probability of success, rural children are far less than urban children, which is a reality.
"Don't let your child lose at the starting line!"
Since the implementation of the one-child policy, this sentence has often appeared in the media, hanging on the lips of parents, and breaking the hearts of parents for the sake of children.
This is true for every family, whether rich or poor.
The annual tuition fee of the international school that Lin Zixuan visited is 150,000 yuan, and from primary school to high school, it costs millions, and the enrollment target is the group of people who have become rich first in China.
There is no shortage of criticism in the media for such aristocratic schools.
It is believed that the children educated in this way are easy to compare with each other and show off their wealth, detach themselves from society, and divide the family, which is not conducive to the formation of a correct outlook on life and values for children.
The school is closed in the form of a boarding school.
This is one of the reasons why the elderly in the family are opposed, they want Xiaoxue to live at home.
Moreover, the concept of the elderly is conservative, no matter what international teaching concept, more attention is paid to family education, or teaching by word and deed.
Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan did not insist.
According to the area where their hukou is located, Xiaoxue will be enrolled in the Beijing No. 2 Experimental Primary School, which is one of the more prestigious schools in the capital and has a high quality of teaching.
In China, hukou is extremely important, and a person's whole life is affected by hukou.
Hukou determines the school you attend, your social welfare benefits, your social circle, and even the marriage of the person you talk to are all directly related to the hukou.
On 13 July, Beijing won the right to host the 2008 Olympic Games.
When the news came, the whole country was boiling.
State leaders came to the Millennium Monument to celebrate the success of the Olympic bid, and the people of the capital took to the streets to cheer and celebrate.
The news media are all reporting the news of the successful Olympic bid, and the pictures of the successful Olympic bid are replayed over and over again on television, as well as the five-minute short film produced by Zhang Yimou for the Olympic bid.
This short film of the Olympic bid shows the new style of the whole country, through fast editing, full of visual impact, people feel a sense of confidence and strength.
I have to say that Zhang Yimou is very talented in this area.
He has achieved a perfect blend of photographic skills and plastic arts, which is the result of years of experience.
He is good at scheduling grand scenes and creating beautiful scenes.
In the past two years, Zhang Yimou has not made any breakthroughs in films, neither the box office nor the influence is high, but he has not been idle and found other jobs.
It is a large-scale live stage play, which moves the performance into the wilderness and combines it with the natural scenery and historical landscape.
This art form is not his first creation, but it is familiar to domestic audiences.
Lin Zixuan talked to Feng Xiaogang and others about Zhang Yimou, and thought that Zhang Yimou was a character who compromised and persisted.
He is not the kind of artist who must insist on himself, he understands that in order to do something, he needs to compromise on all aspects, and he does not say that he will pick and leave.
But while compromising, they will still insist on something of their own.
It seems to be a contradiction, but in fact, this is the real life, and life is constantly changing and adapting.
Even if he doesn't make movies, he can do something else, and he can do it very well.
Feng Xiaogang is also constantly compromising, without the temper of a so-called artist, such a director is easy to win the favor of investors, because they will not let investors lose money.
Zhang Yimou's films over the years have not lost money, even if the domestic box office is not good, he can recover the cost from abroad.
Some media said that Zhang Yimou's films in recent years are still a breath away from good movies.
"I know that tone very well, it is a positioning, when you ask the movie to make money, it will be bad that tone, and if you think about how to make money, it is not pure. Zhang Yimou responded.
Relatively speaking, the sixth generation of directors often only shoots what he wants to shoot regardless of whether he loses money or not.
They seldom consider the market and investment, believing that this is the persistence of art.
In this era of market economy, the choice of Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang is the general trend, only considering art, not the market, the domestic film market will become smaller and smaller.
Lin Zixuan heard that Zhang Yimou intended to shoot martial arts films and was looking for investors.
This is the follow-up effect of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" winning the Oscar, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was also released in art theaters in North America, grossing more than $80 million at the box office.
Art theaters abroad are different from mainstream theaters.
Movies are generally only released for one month in mainstream theaters, and can be released for three months or more in art theaters.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has set off a boom in martial arts films in Europe and the United States, and domestic investors and directors want to take advantage of this boom to enter the North American market.
Investors want to make money, directors want to be famous.
Zhang Yimou is well-known in the West and is a brand, as long as he expresses his intention to make martial arts films, it is not difficult to attract investment.
He is constantly groping, transforming from a literary film to a commercial film.
Zhang Yimou has a long-term view than most domestic directors, and the way out for literary films is getting narrower and narrower, and the future film market is the world of commercial films.
He doesn't mind making commercial films, which is his compromising side.
Li Yan's film is not a pure literary film, it has a commercial side, and the audience's feelings and box office must be considered.
He is now taking over Hollywood's superhero movie, which is a commercial film, but he always wants to add literary elements and humanistic care to commercial films.
It's like eating popcorn with Coke in the movie theater, but it doesn't go well with a cup of coffee.
Although he knew that doing so might lead to the failure of the film, Li still wanted to put popcorn and coffee together.
That's persistence.
Sticking to what should be insisted on, compromising what should be compromised, this is an attitude to life.
