Some people say that the mental age of modern people is much younger than the mental age of people in the past. [Full text reading]

Many people believe that young people in modern society are still children in their twenties, and they are not yet psychologically mature. In fact, even in ancient societies, although people in their twenties were married and had children, they were only emotionally numb because of the pressure of survival. Psychologically, they are the same as modern young people.

Hearing Wang Shuhui's sentence "It's very hard", Chu Siwei, who had really experienced a lot of hardships and difficulties in the work of the farm, suddenly turned red with circles.

When children meet their parents, they naturally have to pour out their grievances and discomforts. This is something that is common throughout the ages. Chu Siwei was touched by Wang Shuhui's sentence "It's very hard", and the grievances and discomfort in his stomach gushed out all of a sudden. In the next hour or so, Chu Siwei confided in Wang Shuhui all kinds of uncomfortable things he had encountered in the past four years.

Agrarian societies and industrial societies are two completely different societies. People in an agrarian society and people in an industrial society are two different people altogether.

In the past, when they worked under the direct management system of the Ba'ath Party, both the workers in the factories and the workers in the commercial sector were also people in an agrarian society, but after all, they were all people who had undergone adequate training and education in industrial production and construction under the Ba'ath Party, and they had a basic sense of discipline and organization.

In layman's terms, although these people themselves are not aware of the transformation of their identity, they are also industrialized in their living and working habits. This is even more true of the troops. The army is a highly disciplined and organized environment, and the soldiers receive systematic and professional training and training all year round.

Working in such an environment, Chu Siwei, who has learned the corresponding knowledge by Wang Shuhui's side and accumulated relevant experience, is of course like a fish in water.

In contrast to the industrial and commercial sectors and the troops of the Ba'ath Party, although the Baath Party's farms were also units of production and organization through industrial means, because the relative farm workers were not educated and trained in discipline and organization, and because they were not completely closed and thoroughly enclosed like the factory workers and army fighters when they received education and training, this made it possible for these farm workers, although the Baath Party had specially carried out minimal family division and comprehensive geographical mixing. It is still imbued with the old habits of an agrarian society.

It is true that people in an agrarian society are not able to adapt to the industrialized form of production and the highly organized, disciplined, and labeled life. In the same way, people in industrial societies are incapable of confronting people who live in a disorganized, undisciplined, and poorly organized agrarian society.

Although the Baath Party has forcibly divided into two-person or three-person households, although the elderly over the age of 60 are rarely arranged to live in nursing homes and only undertake some simple labor within their means, and the children who have reached the age of one have been gathered to live in kindergartens and schools and the Production and Construction Corps, the farm workers who have been completely purified and have only received simple training are still not so good at managing and leading well.

Let them do a good job of hygiene, they don't want to; Let them learn the culture, they are not active; Let them participate in military training, they are perfunctory; Let them complete the work according to the requirements of the job, and they will deal with it casually;

Obviously, they are all from a bitter background, but when they eat in the cafeteria, there are always people who waste food. Obviously, they are all the same people, but they form gangs and fight in gangs on the farm. Obviously, if they do a good job every month, they will have a basic salary and bonuses, but they either secretly open up wasteland, steal fertilizers and pesticides from the farm to make their own illegal land, or steal things from the farm, and want to exchange money outside.

In short, all kinds of strange things, all kinds of unreasonableness, made the young Chu Siwei's head as big as a fight, physically and mentally exhausted.

"It's not that I don't want to serve the people. Engaging in hygiene and military training is all for the sake of everyone's health and safety. It's not that I don't know how to be warm to the masses like spring. But the consciousness of the masses is so low. These ignorant peasants don't know how to listen to orders and commands. No matter how much you reason with them and make propaganda, they just won't listen to you. You can't do any work well, and you can't complete any task. ”

"In the past six months, the farm itself has suffered countless losses. Many people are living a good life tomorrow, but they are stealing things from the farm. I told them that these were all farm property, and they were all things that everyone shared. However, they say that whoever gets it is whoever's own. Those who did not participate in the theft, not only did not fight against these people, but felt that these people who could bring things down had the means and the courage. The farm ethos has gone down little by little. ”

Chu Siwei's endless complaints and grievances, Wang Shuhui was not very happy at first. I don't know if it's a bit machismo, Wang Shuhui doesn't like manly husbands complaining very much. In his opinion, if there is a problem, we must work hard to solve it, and can just complaining and complaining solve the problem?

But after listening to Chu Siwei for a while, Wang Shuhui also sighed in his heart. In fact, Wang Shuhui has a deep understanding of these things that Chu Siwei said.

After living in the old industrial base in the northeast for more than ten years, and then returning to his hometown after studying and working in the south for ten years, he found that even several generations are workers, even if several generations have lived in the industrial society, many people have even been workers in factories all their lives, but in his hometown, the flowers and trees in the public flower beds are dug up and planted vegetables; stealing things from factories and selling them; The removal of public sports facilities and the theft of money from their sale are still commonplace.

The workers are like this, and the peasants are doing even more bizarrely.

Tell them early in the morning that it was the shooting range of the arsenal, the testing ground. The whistling of shells and explosions can be heard every day. However, the local farmers did not hesitate to cut the barbed wire fence that clearly marked the danger, and ran to the shooting range to clear the land.

In the past, high-voltage power grids were installed around the shooting range. As a result, many farmers who stole into the shooting range were killed by electricity, and finally the high-voltage power grid did not dare to be electrified.

The most speechless thing is that there is simply nothing that those people dare not steal. Some people even took advantage of the staff's inattention to steal the unexploded waste bombs from the shooting range. As a result, in the process of disassembling the copper on the bullet body in his home, the man accidentally touched the cannonball, which shattered the entire family, including the house.

This is what is happening in the modern world. In the same situation, these peasant-born farm workers in the last years of the Ming Dynasty must only be more bizarre and difficult. So Wang Shuhui listened to Chu Siwei's complaints and complaints, and could only pat him on the shoulder and say to him earnestly:

"The transformation of people has always been a difficult task. It even takes decades or even hundreds of years to transform a person from a backward agricultural era into an advanced industrialized person. ”

"Now it seems that in more than four years, you can push the work of the farm on the right track, which shows that your work is still fruitful, don't be discouraged, the work has been successful, it shows that your efforts are still fruitful."
