Sheep Gate Students:

I was pleasantly surprised to receive your letter, it is hard to imagine that you could tell me in such detail what happened when you were a child, after I read the letter, it has enriched my understanding of rural youth, and at the same time, I have also drawn a lot of problems encountered in social development from your point of view, and I would like to discuss with you here. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

You wrote in the letter about the story from your birth to the age of six, which impressed me a lot, including your legendary experience on the pig farm, as well as the love and hatred of Yang Dahua, and the bitter past of Wang Nima.

Yang Dahua as your eldest sister, because of the family's financial constraints, was ordered to drop out of school by your uncle, and then through their own personal efforts in the sheep dog factory to do very well, achieved a good income, a flower season girl can do so is already very successful, I see a stubborn and positive struggle image from the Yang Dahua, which can be called a model in rural youth. Although in the later story, she established an intimate bond with the sheep dog, and bravely stayed with the sheep dog without fear of words, such courage even made me feel very admired, but I do not particularly approve of Yang Dahua's decision to cut off the relationship with her family, of course, it may be reasonable to do so from her point of view, and I understand this.

At the end of your letter, I didn't see your explanation of the future of Yang Dahua, so I hope you can continue to tell in the following letters, in addition to the experience of Yang Dahua that impressed me, Wang Nima's personal experience also made me very concerned, an orphan through his own hard work to grow, but later because of some things hard pursuit, I as a person who grew up in that era, I can empathize with his situation, in the era when I went to school, because there was no food to eat, I would go to the relatively well-to-do houses in the village to steal dried potatoes, and the kind people would always pretend not to find out, so as to protect my fragile self-esteem and allow me to successfully complete my studies. Therefore, affluence is not a heinous cause, let alone a crime.

Wang Nima's father as a landlord, the family is solid, but because of the background of the times was executed, this is a mistake on the road of socialist construction, through personal efforts to obtain property should be reasonably protected, later Wang Nima through hard work on the road to riches, but because of the procedures are not standardized, the government confiscated the contracted land, which put Wang Nima into an embarrassing situation, I think his life is a tragedy, as for you said that he went to Jinan to find a job, but it is not clear what he did, If you later know anything about this man, I still want to wait for you to continue to share with me the story about Wang Nyima.

There are also changes in pig farms, which are mixed with attempts to transform the market economy since the reform and opening up, and later determine the status of China's market economy. In the era of planned economy, pig farms, as typical state-owned enterprises, enjoyed more policy support and provided job opportunities for many people, but it was precisely because of the overcrowding that led to the decline in productivity, which gave birth to the reform around 1997, and a large number of workers were laid off, which was also the throes of transformation.

After the pig farm was taken over by the sheep and dogs, the productivity and profit margin have made a great leap, and the production technology has continued to break through, which is the dividend brought by the reform, science and technology as the primary productive forces have substantial proof, although the sheep and dogs later violated the law, and the pig farm was also taken over by the government, but there are advanced management concepts will also improve the efficiency of the pig farm, which I am convinced.

Your second grandfather came back from Taiwan is also the epitome of the relationship between the mainland and Taiwan for many years, a natural person is wrapped in history and cannot break free, creating a different destiny for everyone, but at all times we must work hard, so that our life will become more exciting, even if you live on the cliff, you can also bloom bright flowers, I admire your second grandfather not to give in to fate of the strong perseverance, this is also well reflected in Yang Dahua, I believe that Yang Dahua will still be an outstanding person in the future, It's not mentioned in your account, but I'm still convinced.

Speaking of which, I especially want to talk about my personal experience, I am 50 years old this year, and I have been teaching at Peking University for 20 years, I think when I was young, I was also an ignorant teenager living in an ordinary rural area like you, at that time I had a strong curiosity about all new things, I loved my studies, and I hoped to walk out of a bright road from learning, so I stepped up my studies, constantly broke through myself, and successfully entered high school, and was admitted to Peking University with excellent results, and later stayed in school to teach. Over the years, my body has accumulated countless pains, but my heart is very full, to a certain extent, I like your second grandfather, I wanted to change my fate at the beginning, but after many years, I found that my fate is still closely related to the background of the times, so there is no self-transformation in the strict sense, some just stand in different opportunities and strive to improve themselves, in order to become more calm at the moment of disaster, I am looking forward to you in the future to grow into a more outstanding talent, I also hope that you can remember my words, always keep working hard, and always stay calm.

When I reached middle age, my ideals and ambitions had calmed down, and my only wish was to be able to complete a novel that reflected the growth experience of rural youth.

Not much to say, I once again sincerely invite you to come to Beijing as a guest again, and do not hesitate to teach, by the way, I sincerely ask the students of Yangmen to give me more feedback on your experience, thank you.

Sincerely

Salute!
