Chapter 142: Final Exam
"May it be auspicious." Yan Tianxiang said very cooperatively.
"On the whole, I think that the Red Russian invasion of Afghanistan is a kind of stealing chickens and rice. First of all, it is impossible for Red Russia to completely conquer Afghanistan, because the terrain of Afghanistan determines that it is impossible for Red Russia to send troops into Afghanistan on a large scale, not that Afghanistan cannot be opened, but that if there are too many Red Russian troops, supplies will not be available, and it can be seen from the map of Afghanistan that Red Russia can only send supplies to Afghanistan through two to three international highways, as for air transportation, although it is also an important way, it cannot guarantee the needs of more combat troops. Therefore, based on this, I thought that the total number of Red Russian troops in Afghanistan would not exceed 150,000 people. ”
"Secondly, also because of the topography of Afghanistan, this war will become a protracted war. In fact, the Red Russian invasion of Afghanistan was very similar to the situation when the Japanese launched the July 7 Incident to invade China. At this time, there are very few people who may be optimistic about Afghanistan, but because Afghanistan will receive assistance from countries such as the United States and Pakistan, its guerrillas, its so-called mujahideen groups, will gain greater resistance forces. ”
"Thirdly, after Red Russia is contained in the Afghan war, it will be particularly isolated in the international community, and its long-term expansionist policy will quickly turn into a defensive position, and the national strength of Red Russia will be greatly weakened in the Afghan war; As for us, it is very likely that the Red Russia will take the initiative to make demands such as improving relations, and if China takes this into consideration as a whole, it can also do something. ”
Apparently. The focus of Yang Xia is on the last one. In short, Red Russia will no longer be feared from now on, and China can be laid out in advance. Of course, how Huaxia lays out depends on what Huaxia wants.
However, as far as the war in Afghanistan itself is concerned, the ways in which China can intervene are very limited, and Yang Xia also hinted at some things from the perspective of details, such as helping Afghanistan train guerrillas. provide logistical support to it, etc. However, because of the Wakhan Corridor, which is more than 300 kilometers long and is located in the alpine region, what China can do is actually very limited.
Seeing Yan Tianxiang away, Yang Xia sighed a little. It's not about the war in Afghanistan. It's another well-known term: the eighties!
Later generations who studied Chinese history. I don't think that the 80s was the golden age of China, and that a group of the most backbone talents in China grew up in the 80s. The scientific and technological support of China's later generations originated in the 80s, and from the perspective of international relations alone, China was also the most relaxed in the 80s, and if there was no turning point in 89 years, this relaxation might have lasted for a few years, at least, until the disintegration of Red Russia.
Throughout the 80s, Huaxia was like a new seedling, which has been rising and growing in the sunshine and rain.
In order to express his joy, Yang Xia personally went to the stock exchange after New Year's Day to open a stock market account, and invested all the 200,000 Hong Kong dollars saved in the previous months into the stock market.
The 500,000 Hong Kong dollars is not easy for Yang Xia, because he is the result of Yang Xia climbing the lattice, although this considerable proportion is obtained by plagiarism, but Yang Xia still has to bear a lot of uneasiness from his conscience. In the original idea, Yang Xia was ready to plagiarize more than 100 golden songs, but because Yang Xia was a cultivator, every time he sold a song, there would be a sense of uneasiness in his heart, so Yang Xia would plagiarize the number of songs from the original 100 to 10, that is, at the beginning of the New Year, Yang Xia will no longer plagiarize other people's songs and lyrics, after all, he is a Chinese, and now he is a Hong Kong person, so let's leave a little space for them.
Yang Xia also tried to write lyrics, but Yang Xia tried a few times and finally felt that it was not that material. Some people think that if you can write poetry so well, why not write lyrics, aren't lyrics simpler than poems? Those who hold this view do not understand either poetry or lyrics.
Although the two seem similar in form, some lyricists also write poems, and some poets also write lyrics, but it is also true that top poets cannot write words well, and top lyricists cannot write poems well.
The reborn who come to Xiangcheng Port and do not speculate in stocks is equivalent to living in vain.
Yang Xia also has no experience in stock trading. But Yang Xia now has three advantages, the first advantage, although Yang Xia does not know much about the stock market, but he still knows a lot about some famous companies in Xiangcheng Port in his previous life, second, for which industries will develop greatly in the future, which industries will shrink, and its general trend is still understood; The third is Yang Xia's academic ability.
Originally, Yang Xia was going to study economics as an undergraduate. However, after arriving in Xiangcheng Port, Yang Xia decided to study the most unpopular literature at the undergraduate level, and as for economics, Yang Xia was ready to intervene in a self-taught way.
In this regard, Yang Xia's strong academic ability helped him a lot. Since October, Yang Xia has been spending one hour a day reading economic books in the library of the University of Hong Kong, and in this regard, Yang Xia also specially asked a student from the "Economic Society" of the University of Hong Kong who is about to graduate to give him a book list for his undergraduate studies.
If Chinese undergraduates only need to study about 10 professional courses, HKU students have at least 20 professional courses, and overseas universities have always been more strict about students' graduation results, that is, "wide entry and strict exit".
Yang Xia got a list of about 21 courses in economics and began to read carefully. Reading economic textbooks for 1 hour a day, a total of 6 times a week for 6 hours, Yang Xia has to eat all the textbooks thoroughly, and strive to be able to answer the professor's classroom questions.
Yang Xia naturally did not go to the economics class to be evaluated by the professor, he had his own set of methods, after all, he had also been a university professor in his previous life.
Hong Kong has a five-day work week, but Yang Xia spends six days at the University, one of which is dedicated to reading books in the HKU Library.
For a knowledge, whether to master it, one is to see whether you have a sense of it from the system, that is, any discipline is a system, which is the macro fundamental mastery, and then you can talk about the details of specific knowledge; Secondly, it is the understanding of knowledge points, the mastery of some knowledge related to knowledge points, whether they are proficient in these contents, whether they can draw inferences, the comparative analysis of knowledge and knowledge, the understanding and grasp of relevant backgrounds, etc., with these, it is basically regarded as mastering the discipline. Finally, and most importantly, there is the application of this knowledge.
For example, if you have learned about the stock market, can you understand the stock market candlestick chart, can you understand its technical terms, can you understand the rise and fall of the stock market from an economic point of view, and even can you predict the trend of the stock through the analysis of a company's business announcement?
At the beginning of the new year, Yang Xia decided to try the stock market. Even if there is no third knowledge of economics, Yang Xia will begin to get involved in the stock market.
Yang Xia honestly bought two or three stocks, ready to hold them relatively for a long time, he did not speculate on the so-called index, because he did not have time, all his stock market actions are to read securities newspapers early in the morning, especially to look at their basic numbers, and then carefully make buy or sell orders.
Every day, Song Mingzhao's task is to execute Yang Xia's instructions after the market opens at 10 o'clock in the morning.
As time passed, Yang Xia's first semester at HKU finally ushered in her final exams. There are a total of seven subjects to be examined by Yang Xia, involving geography, linguistics, philosophy, history, literary history, and selected readings of famous works. Two of the exams are presented in the form of "final essays".
Don't think that the "final thesis" exam will be easy, the professor will be divided into A, B, C, D four grades when revising the paper, of which the total number of students with A grades will not exceed 10%, which is the consensus of professors; There are relatively more people with B grades, about 40%; The C grade is only equivalent to sixty or seventy points, and the passing grade is about 35%, and the remaining D grade is about 15% of the total number of people, and they must take a make-up exam, that is, someone must have to make a make-up exam.
If you still fail the make-up examination, for example, if you fail the make-up examination in 3 subjects in a semester, the university will talk to you, and if you do not have serious things such as family changes, then please withdraw from the school, because you are not suitable to study at HKU.
Although full of confidence, Yang Xia also began to get nervous a week before the exam. Graduation papers are generally assigned one week in advance and submitted one week later.
Whether your paper is plagiarized or not will be judged by the professor, so it is not easy to become a professor at HKU, you have to keep a lot of reading if you want to judge whether a student's paper is plagiarized, and at that time, there was no so-called paper review software in later generations.
plus one week of the exam, for a total of two weeks, Yang Xia's mind was on the exam.
Yang Xia is afraid that he will not do well in the exam? Of course not, Yang Xia hopes that he will do better in the exam, although he has established his goals, but he has never liked to study at HKU for four years of undergraduate, three years of master's degree, and then three years of doctoral history, Yang Xia's real plan is to compress the three subjects of undergraduate, master, and doctoral degrees into three years.
Undergraduate study only one year, read literature; Master's degree in one year to prepare for law; Ph.D. is still ready to study only one year, economics. That is, Yang Xia will walk the river/lake with a doctorate in economics in the future.
Can Yang Xia's idea be realized? If it is in China, it will definitely not be realized. But at HKU, it's possible, because if your grades are good enough, so good that the professor and the university have to agree to your special request.
Are Yang Xia's grades good enough? It's not just Yang Xia himself who thinks like this, but also the professors who have taken Yang Xia's courses are also thinking. Because Yang Xia's usual class schedule is very good, it can be said that because of Yang Xia's savings, the quality of these professors' classes has been greatly improved. (To be continued......)
