Black July refers to the current situation in which millions of young students take the college entrance examination in three days on July 7, 8 and 9, and thousands of troops crowd the single-plank bridge and for the vast majority of candidates, they will fail the list.

Data show that in 1979, the national college entrance examination was held for the first time in three days from 7 to 9 July, and a total of 4.685 million people took the college entrance examination, and 284,000 were admitted, with an admission rate of only a pitiful 6.1 percent. As for why only 4.68 million people took the college entrance examination, because the number of high school students enrolled in this era is still higher than this number.

Because of the college entrance examination in 1979, some educated youths participated; In addition, the policy at that time stipulated that some secondary school students who had already obtained their graduation certificates could also reapply for full-time universities, and of course, the previous working years after the examination had to be invalidated.

Because Yang Xia had been high-profile on the issue of the college entrance examination intentionally or unintentionally, and Yang Xia's fame at this time had already covered Huaxia [published more than 200 poems and more than 20 prose essays in a very short period of time, and earned nearly 10,000 yuan in manuscript fees alone], and on the afternoon of the 5th, Ge Qianqian, director of the county education bureau, took the ordinary people of the Education Bureau to Chiquan Middle School to inspect it, first, to see how the graduates of Chiquan Middle School were preparing for the college entrance examination, and second, to see Yang Xia, a celebrity of course among the people of Wucheng.

Regarding how many college students can be admitted to the seventh and ninth grades, Chen Yuanzhang said very conservatively that he can be admitted to 5, Chen Yuanzhang said this, because he was worried that he would not be able to complete the task by then, and was called by the director of the reform bureau to endorse, but even if he was only admitted to 5, it was the best district and township middle school outside the county seat.

Yang Xia was naturally called in front of Ge Xiangqian, and when asked how many points Yang Xia could score, Yang Xia said unceremoniously. In the five subjects of language, mathematics, politics, history and geography, you have to score 450 points if you don't take the test.

450 points. Isn't it necessary to score 90 points in every subject? Ge Qianqian saw Yang Xia's obviously reserved score, and gently patted Yang Xia's shoulder. "Comrade Yang Xia, take the test well, as long as you get the first place in the county, I will personally award you with an award! By the way, the Education Bureau made a decision two days ago, the text is being printed, and it is estimated that it will not arrive at the schools until after the holiday, that is, from this year, the county education bureau will commend the work related to the college entrance examination. Students who participate in the college entrance examination will be commended for the top 10, based on the results, not the admission; For schools and teachers who have achieved good results in the college entrance examination, they will be rewarded with 300 yuan per student who is admitted to a junior college, 500 yuan per student who is admitted to an undergraduate, and 800 yuan per student who is admitted to the first batch of universities. Presumably, Chiquan Middle School has been preparing for a whole semester, and it will not disappoint the bureau. ”

"Huh. I don't dare to say anything else, but we booked the first batch of bonuses for Yang Xia in advance. Chen Yuanzhang said with a smile. In fact, Chen Yuanzhang is already calculating the most optimistic results of Chiquan Middle School in this college entrance examination. Of course, he relied on last year's number jù as well as the gap.

Yang Xia finally signed up for liberal arts, although he was also able to get the highest score in the country in science. Yang Xia finally chose to walk in the face of liberal arts.

Because, Yang Xia's ambition is really not in science. And the liberal arts, such as the macro experience related to the liberal arts. Literature and art, psychology, etc., in short, many contents are what Yang Xia is willing to study all his life. Science, how to say it, for ordinary people, science, engineering, medicine, etc., it is better to find a job, but Yang Xia obviously does not have this problem, so Yang Xia's choice of liberal arts is to see another function of liberal arts, which is very supportive.

If we insist on finding the reasons for the great decline in social morality and cultural accomplishment in later generations, the lack of attention to liberal arts education in schools is definitely one of the important reasons, even the primary reason.

You don't see, in general middle schools, those who finally choose liberal arts are students who are weak in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and they have to choose liberal arts because they are worried that they will not be able to pass the science exam.

In the view of Yang Xia, the reborn, this is the most failed expression of Chinese education. Of course, university liberal arts education itself also has the problem of strict zhòng, and the education model of historical Chinese has not changed for decades, and it is impossible to understand what talents they are cultivating.

In short, Chinese education is an education that lacks culture, and it is certainly true to say that.

There is no foreign language in the college entrance examination in seven or nine years, and the foreign language test will be added next year, that is, in eighty years, the total score of 30 points will be counted for undergraduates, 50 points will be counted in eighty-one years, 70 points will be counted in eighty-two years, and 100 full marks will be counted in eighty-three years; As for the main subject of foreign language with 150 points, I don't know if it is the year of the monkey.

Candidates in seven or nine years, with a total score of 500, have different admission lines in different provinces, but there is no need to guess that the admission lines in Beijing and Donghai must be the lowest, which is the root cause of the unfairness of Chinese education.

In his previous life, Yang Xia did not take the college entrance examination in seven or nine years, and did not know the admission score of Nanshu, but Yang Xia knew that the admission line for liberal arts in 1980 was 300 points, 340 points in 1981, and 380 points in 1982, and it is estimated that the undergraduate starting line in 1979 will not exceed 280 points [This kind of number is difficult to check on the Internet, so I have to replace it with Spring and Autumn penmanship, please forgive me. But these numbers of the post-80s generation are real, and Erlong was one of them in the vast sea of people back then].

On the afternoon of the 5th, the school asked all students who took the college entrance examination to return to school to rest and make final preparations for the exam.

On the morning of the 6th, 180 candidates from Chiquan Middle School got on five buses in the farewell of all teachers and students and nearby villagers, and went to the county seat to participate in the national unified college entrance examination.

Yang Xia followed the flow calmly, although from time to time there were classmates or teachers, and even beautiful classmates looked at him, but Yang Xia was unmoved, the Tao was different and did not conspire with each other, his own Tao was really not in Wucheng.

However, on the bus, the position where Yang Xia sat was irreplaceable, Chen Yuanzhang and Principal Chen actually arranged Yang Xia to sit next to him, and Yang Xia suddenly felt that his honor was unprecedented.

After arriving in the county seat, the candidates of Chiquan Middle School collectively chartered a large hotel, and three meals a day were also arranged uniformly. Although there is still little meat, there is plenty of oil and water in each dish.

Hearing that Yang Xia is a famous juvenile writer in the country, the hotel specially adds a free dish to Yang Xia's table every meal (there is no private hotel at this time, all are government-run), so that Yang Xia has almost nowhere to escape, no way, even if he is a reborn, he will blush, right? Yang Xia is this very special feeling.

Fortunately, Yang Xia still accepted it calmly, at the same time, the candidates of Chiquan Middle School had a good meal arrangement, the school leaders managed and counseled well, and Yang Xia, who was also a candidate, lost a good guide, 180 candidates, and every candidate said that they did well in the exam, and the questions that they would do with the knowledge they had learned were all done this time, and then a pair of answers and assessments, hey, half of them exceeded 250 points. 250 points is definitely a humiliating score in the future, but at this time, it is like the gospel, because this score is likely to be used in secondary school.

There is not much to say about the test process, and the results look promising, but you have to wait for the results to be announced.

Then talking about the hotel food, Yang Xia and the others did eat happily, but in the last meal, Yang Xia knew that the hotel did not suffer a loss of operation, the person in charge of the hotel prepared the paper, ink, pen and inkstone very well, and waited for Yang Xia to inscribe calligraphy works for them, and one large and one small.

Speaking of which, this hotel is really not state-run, it seems to be a town-owned enterprise in Chengguan Town, and although this guest house is relatively large, it has no name, but because it was built on top of a large lime kiln before, some people jokingly called it "Lime Kiln Hotel". Of course, thinking of this, Yang Xia has content, and the poem "Lime Yin" by Comrade Yu Qian of the Ming Dynasty suddenly jumped on the paper, "Thousands of hammers are chiseled out of the deep mountains, and the fire is burned as if it is idle." Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world. ”

This is a poem, which is considered big, and Yang Xia wrote all the words that are the size of a fist; In addition, Yang Xia inscribed a banner with the words "clean white world" in the poem, which is the same size as the plaque.

In fact, the four words "clean white world" are really not used by ordinary people, because no one dares to say that they are 100% innocent, but because Yang Xia is so good, his inscription was kept by the person in charge at the time, although he felt that the words were good, but he did not dare to hang it out in terms of content.

It's just that after 1984, when the superiors decided to expropriate the lime kiln for the development of real estate, the person in charge suddenly remembered that there was such a thing back then, so he turned over the cabinet and took out Yang Xia's inscription, oh my God, Yang Xia's inscription! At this time, Yang Xia had become the most famous person in China - yes, the most famous person, and not one of them.

So, Wu Cheng decided to send someone to find Yang Xia with a photocopy of "Clear White World", hoping that Yang Xia would return to his hometown to invest, but on the table, he asked how to deal with it, not to deal with these four words, because the lime kiln was going to be renovated, Mr. Yang Xia, where you lived back then, don't you have anything to build yì?

To tell the truth, Yang Xia has always maintained a very rational love for his hometown Wucheng, Wucheng, which belongs to the most ordinary agricultural county in Nanshu, has resources, such as natural gas, copper, salt, etc., but the mining value is not large, perhaps, the biggest advantage is the advantage of human resources, this advantage can also be used to run industrial enterprises, but the transportation, information and financial services needed by industrial enterprises, Wucheng is almost zero.

But Yang Xia knew that the other party found him, and he wanted to give an explanation, considering that at this time, the direct road between Wucheng and Jianmen was about to be completed, and the location of the lime kiln was just on the edge of the avenue, so Yang Xia waved his pen and had to circle 220 acres of land in that place and invest in building a comprehensive five-star "pure white leisure hotel" including 20 independent villas.
