Sun Ziming's interview at Jingshi University was broadcast or recorded by the Hunan Provincial Television Station and the university's website without deletion, and the issue of the treatment of professors in the Republic of China era compared with today's situation quickly became a hot topic of discussion among the whole people. Fortunately, the salaries of officials are not high, and the salaries of professors are even slightly higher than those ministers, at least on paper, which does not create much of a passive situation for the government.

However, after the interview was broadcast, the problem faced by Principal Gao was solved. The two secretaries made a special trip from Beiping, and under the warm reception of President Gao, they politely and completely took back the two enthusiastic speeches; He also expressed his apology that the chief could not come to attend the ceremony in person because of his busy work, which was an unsatisfactory end to this matter.

Since then, except for the commitments made by the Ministry of Education and the local government, governments at all levels have not given any preferential treatment to Jingshi University, and no leaders and officials have come to inspect the university.

Four years later, the first graduation ceremony also became a self-entertainment for Jingshi University. For a long time, Jingshi University seemed to have been forgotten by the officials, and it became a paradise that was somewhat out of step with society.

Hearing the strings and singing and knowing the meaning of elegance, this is an innate ability of the Chinese people, with the absence of the two heavyweight national leaders in the guest list to participate in the ceremony, the propaganda report on Jingshi University suddenly dropped a notch. In the past, the mainstream media maintained a cautious attitude, but now even some local media have begun to lower their tone, except for the media in Hunan Province. They can't help it, what happened at the door of their home, and it was their own children who made face for the villagers, and they couldn't report it if they didn't want to.

However, as the ceremony approached, the whole of the university began to get busy, and there was no time to pay attention to the news reports. In particular, the university decided to invite 2,861 new students and parents of 473 graduate students to attend the 'founding and opening ceremony' in accordance with the practice of European and American countries.

In order to be afraid that those hard-working parents would be reluctant to pay hundreds of hard-earned money, Sun Ziming deliberately asked the foundation to be responsible for all the parents' expenses. For this reason, more than 1,000 graduate students who came to the school a month in advance to report on the campus were looking for phone calls everywhere to inform their younger brothers and sisters, and they were sure to ask their parents to come with them. Of course, they also have to go to great lengths to convince their parents to save their parents.

It is common for parents to send their children to college. Whenever the school year starts, the hotels and guest houses next to the universities are full, and many parents even have to live with their children in the dormitories or make bunks in the gymnasium. However, there has never been a school that has officially invited parents to attend the opening ceremony, and hopes that they will attend the graduation ceremony in four years to witness the growth of their children.

This move of Jingshi University can be said to be a precedent, and it also makes the graduate students who have spent more than four years of college sigh. Some of the graduate students who had been working for a while and came to study in the world were deeply touched and asked their parents to come to the school in advance to accompany their parents to visit the school and introduce in detail the school where they would spend a few years.

Wang Ping, a reporter from the school's website, came from an ordinary family, but his parents still came to the school from his hometown of Fujian a few days in advance. Of course, there are also anxieties about the future tuition, although they have not come out.

That's not a few thousand dollars, but tens of thousands of dollars a year!

"Ah Ping, according to you, isn't that studying here, it's more tiring than you used to be in high school?"

Wang Ping swiped his card on the vending machine and bought two bottles of water for his sweaty parents.

"Abba, as long as you think about the 40,000 yuan you owe to the school in your credit card, how can you still have the heart to play in the future? When we were in high school, we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to get into a good university, and now we are afraid that we won't be able to get a scholarship. If it weren't for the fact that school hadn't started yet, would I still have the leisure to play with the second elder? ”

Mother is always soft-hearted, not to mention this lone seedling, and hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, you just take care of your own learning." Ah Ping, Abba and Grandma don't have the ability to send you to study abroad, now there is such a good opportunity, don't miss it. If I can't get a scholarship, I'll go to your uncle and borrow some. ”

Wang Ping still didn't notice the anxiety of his parents, but looked at his mother helplessly, he was twenty-two, no longer twelve years old. If I wanted to rely on my uncle, would I have to come here to suffer? It's better to go to Shanghai after graduation and pick a good unit to live with!

Besides, my mentor was invited from Harvard, and the first thing I did when I saw my five brothers and sisters was to take himself as an example, and to go to the college to apply for work-study and learn what it means to be self-reliant, not to be a parasite on my parents.

"How can your mentor say that? Xiao Lei, let you apply for a student loan, that's because Abba and Aunt are incompetent, and they don't want to trouble your uncle. If you really can't get a scholarship, your parents can't watch you carry hundreds of thousands of debts, right? ”

Wang Ping finally realized something, but he really didn't care about the hundreds of thousands of tuition, and hurriedly comforted: "Grandma, I have 1,200 yuan a month on the school website, which is enough for my usual expenses." As long as I can get a first-class scholarship and tuition, you don't have to worry about it. Even if you can't get a first-class scholarship, it's always okay to be second-class or third-class, right?

Besides, you have to have faith in me! With hundreds of thousands of debts, if I still have to rely on you to help me, then isn't this university in vain? Most of my seniors in the previous years have an annual salary of 100,000 yuan, and you still worry about these things? No matter how poor I am, if I get four or five thousand yuan a month, I will earn it back in two or three years! ”

……

Wang Ping's parents are just a microcosm of thousands of parents, what they are worried about, that is, what most parents are anxious about, the tuition fee of more than 100,000 yuan in four years is enough to make it difficult for parents to sleep. What's more, Wang Lei's ability to be admitted to a prestigious school like Yan University can give parents a kind of confidence, but what about most of the parents of new students?

Jingshi University is a good university, just by looking at its faculty and tens of billions of dollars, you can know that as long as it takes time, it will be a world-class university. If due to economic reasons, let the child give up such a good opportunity, the vast majority of parents will not be able to be ruthless.

Fortunately, Jingshi University not only has high tuition fees, but also provides high scholarships and student loans, which does not make those freshmen from ordinary families give up the opportunity to enroll; did not let those students from poor families leave lifelong regrets.

Finally on the day of the start of school, Wang Ping and the graduate students who arrived at the school in advance received the younger brothers, younger sisters and their parents from the train station and bus station. The first thing I did when I returned to school was to lead my parents to the arranged dormitory to rest, and then take most of the students and sisters to the Far Eastern Bank office in Jingshi University to sign the agreement and apply for a loan, and then hand over the check I had just received to the staff next to me to go through the enrollment procedures.

Although I only signed a few words in the office, returned to my respective colleges, and received a gift package from the teacher that I had never thought of and was worth a lot of money, the students and parents felt a huge pressure, which is a debt of hundreds of thousands! Although the school has a scholarship and there is no limit to the number of scholarships, what if you can't get them?

For a while, the already solemn atmosphere in Jingshi University became even more solemn.
