Chapter 10: The Millennial Imperial Examination (Present)
Since 1977, when the college entrance examination room, which had been closed for ten years, was reopened, New China once again ushered in a turning point in attaching importance to literati.
In 1977 and 1978, a total of 11.6 million candidates were recorded in the two seasons of the college entrance examination, which was the largest examination in the world so far, which not only laid the foundation of the cultural soil of New China, but also greatly improved the level of higher education in the country.
The right of equal competition provided to all candidates in the unified college entrance examination has greatly stimulated people's enthusiasm for study, formed a strong atmosphere of learning and enabled the entire society to "rule from chaos," and laid a good cultural foundation for various political and economic reforms and developments.
The sky is easy to thank, and it is difficult to stay in the summer. Now 30 years have passed quietly, New China has embarked on the road of rejuvenation, the college entrance examination, and the impact on Chinese society has been integrated into all aspects, and the entire social education system created by it has gradually taken shape
The dawn of midsummer has quietly arrived, and the begonia flowers outside the window are very delicate, and the bright sunlight shines on the soil through the green leaves, and the air is filled with the fragrance of earth.
Time flies, Hua is not in the sun, and the students in the third year of high school finally ushered in the time of June.
June 7 is a sacred day in the hearts of tens of thousands of students in China, because after 12 years of trials and hardships, they are finally about to usher in the final day of review: the college entrance examination.
There are a thousand Hamlets among a thousand readers, and there are also a thousand attitudes towards the college entrance examination among a thousand candidates.
In just two days, it is 12 years of hard work.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of June 8, in a college entrance examination classroom of Jinling No. 3 Middle School, three patrol invigilators stared intently at the 30 students in the class, looked at the beads of sweat oozing densely on their foreheads, and looked at their hard work, but the three teachers did not relax in the slightest.
The exam room was very quiet, the fan had been turned off at some point, and after listening to the hearing, it was never turned on again, and the only sound in the classroom was the sound of the tip of the pen rubbing against the paper, although it was already the height of summer outside, but the atmosphere inside was like a cold winter
Jiang Yin quietly put down his pen and looked up at the wall clock on the wall, which was exactly an hour, which coincided with the time he originally expected.
As the last English word was transcribed onto the test paper, Jiang Yin knew that it was all over.
Twelve years of hard work is over, I will usher in a broader tomorrow, originally all this will not be as easy and natural as now, but with the help of Qishi, now I can actually answer the test paper in this college entrance examination room an hour in advance! And so confident!
"Teacher, I have to hand in the papers." Jiang Yin raised his hand and said softly.
Under the suspicious eyes of the invigilator, Jiang Yin got up and left his seat, and behind him was a hall full of even more nervous students
"Hey! Wife, our son is out! ”
"Where, where?!"
At the gate of Jinling No. 3 Middle School, there are many parents of candidates, who are crowded outside the gate, looking far and waiting for their children's return.
Jiang's mother was standing next to the guardrail, looking at the teaching building without a match, and saw a familiar figure walking out, who happened to be her son, so she hurriedly called Jiang's father.
I saw that Jiang's father hurriedly turned around, and his eyes widened in the direction of the teaching building, and he saw his son waving at him.
"Oh, this kid, why did you hand in the papers so quickly, didn't you just hear that there was still an hour to finish?" Father Jiang looked at his watch, his face was slightly uneasy.
Jiang Yin followed the instructions of the staff, after staying away from the teaching building, he ran to the gate alone, at this time the school gate has not been opened, a guardrail will stop the students and parents, only after the end of the exam, to ensure that the examination papers are all complete, the school gate is allowed to open.
"Dad, Mom, I'm done with the exam." Jiang Yin smiled faintly at his parents, his mood was extremely relaxed at the moment.
"Why did you kid hand in the papers so quickly, didn't you just hand in the papers forty minutes earlier in the first few subjects, why did you come out in an hour this time." Father Jiang reproached with a little worry.
"Hey, Dad, the English test is relatively simple, you can rest assured, at least 145 points or more." Jiang Yin stuck out his tongue, he lacked a good impression of English since he was a child, and he has always been a drag bottle of English in class, so even if it is the college entrance examination, he only writes for an hour, and he doesn't want to waste time in English.
Hearing that the child said that he could take the 145 test, Jiang's father's face was already happy, but he still reprimanded: "You kid is careless, don't make any mistakes again, and don't check more before coming out." ”
"Hey, hey." When Jiang Yin heard this, he didn't refute, just scratched his head and smirked, and Jiang's mother lovingly handed over a bottle of water from the crack in the doorrail and said, "If you're thirsty, drink some water." ”
Jiang Yin also raised his head and took a big sip, and then said with a smile: "I'm really a little thirsty, there is no fan in the classroom, it's really hot." ”
In fact, there are already good parents next to them to see the conversation of this family of three, hearing Jiang Yin's unashamed tone, many parents show disdain, most parents know the difficulty of the college entrance examination, generally students with good grades will do the last minute, to ensure that nothing goes wrong will hand in the papers, only those little gangsters, usually do not study, people who don't know anything will hand in the papers early.
And just now, this student actually handed in the paper an hour early, and bragged to his parents that he could score 145 points, you know, the full score of English in the college entrance examination is only 150 points, and there is an essay that can't get a full score.
A middle-aged man in a white shirt next to him couldn't look at it, so he stepped forward, and asked with a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth, "This classmate, where do you go to school?" What are the results of the monthly exams before the college entrance examination? You must know that the students who can submit the college entrance examination an hour in advance are either unable to do anything, or they are geniuses, I see that you are giggling, not like the top students of any school, deceiving your parents like this, some are too unconscionable. ”
After saying this, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were stunned, but Jiang Yin shook his shoulders and smiled strangely at the man.
Then Jiang's father said slowly: "This comrade, maybe you are mistaken, my child has been submitting the papers in advance, and the grades are not bad."
"Oh?" The sarcasm on the man's lips was even more sarcastic, "Where does he go to school?" How many times can I take the monthly exam? ”
"Oh, my Xiaoyin is in Jinling No. 1 Middle School, and he has been the first in the monthly examination for nine consecutive times"
