After watching the movie "The Time Machine", Alexander, an associate professor of a school, invented a time machine in order to change the fate of his beloved girlfriend who was shot by a bandit in front of him. The process of his girlfriend dying in different ways in front of him time and time again, he realized that he could not change the past, so he planned to change the future. He first arrived in the 21st century, and at this time, there were people who were virtually staying on transparent panels to explain the library. Staff, answer every question, the huge database is a big ball about one meter, which is much more spectacular than the human brain. He knows all the knowledge in the world, and his memory is amazing, even the people who come to ask questions are stored. This earth is too advanced, there are still advertisements on the wall for vacations to the moon, but suddenly it is not good. The moon is cracked due to the wanton development of human beings, and a piece of the moon hits the earth. After experiencing the vicissitudes of life on the earth for a while, he came to the earth 800,000 years later and was rescued by several primitive tribes. The people of this tribe lived on high cliffs by the water. Going up is like hanging sails on the cliffs, they climbed up and down by rope ladders, they wore linen clothes, they lived by fishing, they were healthy and simple. He was looked after by a very beautiful and serene woman, who also had a very lovely daughter of about ten years old.
But behind the seemingly poetic life, Alexander found that he always had nightmares at night. He dreamed of seeing a huge building in the shape of a sharp and ferocious devil's head. The low voice suddenly woke him up. Later, he found out that there were no elderly people in this tribe, and heard the woman say that everyone here has the same dream. The story continues, and it turns out that things are more terrifying than Alexander could have imagined. During an outing, a group of extremely ugly zombie-faced giant ape-men took them as their prey. Compared with them, humans were very small. They held bows and arrows. The arrows were poisonous, powerful and agile. The people of this tribe had no choice but to Fleeing, running slowly, or being dragged away, or being hugged by the ape-man and escaping the ground. In order to save the woman, he decided to secretly walk into the devil's cave at night to explore the truth, and the little girl also went there. It turned out that there was a huge deep hole, he let the girl outside the hole, he slowly went down, he found the woman's necklace, then found the iron hook, found the butcher's knife, and even more terrifying, he fell into the underground In the pond, the pond was full of red bones. It turned out that these apes were cannibals, and the primitive tribe was their food source.
When I describe these, I just want to talk about the college entrance examination.
Thirty-five years ago, the year I was born, China resumed the college entrance examination. There is no doubt that I was the lucky person in the college entrance examination. , the college entrance examination has developed into a curse. When I was studying, compared to now, it could hardly be regarded as an exam-oriented education. Although there are exams, they are also exam-oriented, and the exams from elementary school to university level are not straight to junior high school now, but in addition to senior three and repeat reading, they often do Exam papers, other times I still have time to play, and even if I repeat the reading, I still have time to wander around on weekends, and ride a bicycle to complete the city. Maybe I didn't study in a key middle school, so I never encountered a situation where I was too busy to catch my breath. In summer, there are many small green flying insects and larger scarabs that love bright light on the lamp of evening self-study, which will fall down from time to time, so we play with insects for fun. I usually spend a night studying a math problem to figure out what's going on. I don't do anything else that night. Most of the problems are not on the test paper. The review materials are selected by myself in the Xinhua Bookstore. One or two.
When my child went to elementary school last year, I felt as if the child was obedient and willing to do homework at first, but in the second semester, the child refused to do the homework, and slowly procrastinated, ten words can be written for an hour, and a typing And scolding has no effect, there are many Chinese and mathematics that are not good, or illiterate, or do not understand the meaning of the text, or the difference sequence and other things learned in senior grades, synonyms, antonyms, word grouping, sentence making , composition, all came, and by the end of the semester, there was almost one test paper every day, even in normal times, basically once a week. I always say, little boy, it doesn't matter if you take the zero test, but he who usually gets around 60 to 80 in the test always says that so-and-so in the class is 100% on the test. Suddenly one day, I understood, this is not the atmosphere before the college entrance examination. But no, it should be said that the atmosphere before the college entrance examination is even more like the atmosphere of the college entrance examination. I remember that before the college entrance examination, I was not so busy with one test paper a day, nor was I so busy writing homework at night that I fell asleep on my back, and I also don’t remember who did well in the class, no matter it was the test. The first place is still in the middle of the exam. I can't remember how others did in the exam. I don't have to deal with several homework in one night, so I often study only one question a night, or even concentrate on finishing a novel in one night. , Because I love reading novels so much, I even read Mao Xuan with relish. At that time, there were few books, and Mao Xuan became an entertainment book, and I read it many times.
Now the college entrance examination has become very powerful, and it is so powerful that we all have the same dream, starting from children in public kindergartens, to adults of all ages - parents, teachers. Maybe the child is too young, and he still doesn't know that he is in the nightmare of the college entrance examination, but if he is a little older, he will understand that his dream is the dream of the college entrance examination. , he will understand that he has failed, his dream of the college entrance examination for many years has failed, he was thrown out of the university door by the college entrance examination, and from now on, he will be crushed by the giant wheel of society again and again, to do the hardest physical strength Work, the most dangerous manual work, the lowest manual work, the meager salary, the longest working hours, being ruthlessly exploited by the boss, until the last drop of blood, sweat and courage is drained, admitting that you are indeed a loser, Worst of all, a man will be like a camel xiangzi. If he has money, he will sleep with a prostitute. He will hang his flag in the funeral procession of the rich, and he will never love himself again. Die quickly, the woman will become the woman Camel Xiangzi met in the brothel he loved before, Xiao Fuzi, she was wearing bright clothes, extremely haggard, and hugged every man who came in with a blank face or a forced smile, because She was tired of working 12 hours in sweatshops, or she couldn't do it at all, and no man was willing to support her, treating her as a wife or a mistress, and the subsistence allowance could not make her satisfied with her life. Now, whenever a local construction site starts a vigorous bulldozing project, the nearby brothels also start to open in twos and threes. From the county seat to the big city, prostitutes and migrant workers are bundled up, considering the serious imbalance of the birth rate between males and females and the wealthy people With the popularization of the junior third and the fourth in office, this kind of bondage will become more and more intimate in the future, similar to the so-and-so soldiers and so-and-so comfort women many, many years ago.
I remembered that many years ago, when I was studying, I didn't realize this at all. It was before the college entrance examination that I learned that there are still college entrance examinations in the world. Many students, elementary school, junior high school, high school, are close to a small half of the classmates each time. They all left the school before the graduation exam, and neither themselves nor their parents felt that they had failed. If they felt that giving up was a failure, they would not give up so easily. Moreover, most of them have now settled down in the city, their children have grown up, their jobs are stable, and they have not failed at all. But most of them definitely don't want their children to drop out of school. Now, except for the very remote parents who can make money and think that their children can make money without studying, they don't think so. The college entrance examination has been so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. , This dream has been due to the increase in the admission rate of the college entrance examination. I even feel that it is a failure to get into a college, and even getting into a university is not enough. It is a success when I am admitted to various establishments such as civil servants or teachers. The ceremony of graduating from high school is to put a big red seal on the heart of an 18-year-old boy—failure, success, and success that barely counts (junior college). Even if those who didn't pass the test will have no lower or even higher income in the future than those who didn't pass the test, they will never forget that red seal. Because everyone has realized that this society has become more snobby than when I was studying. The more the rich, the richer, the more status, the more status, and the less money, the less money. , the less status, the less status, the gap is much bigger than before, the gap between the bottom and the top is not a few times, but dozens, hundreds of times, the workers used to be the big brother, and the intellectuals belonged to the working class Part of, at least in terms of income, the working class and intellectuals are on the same level. Although cadres can eat better, their income is not much more than that of workers. There are very few bosses, especially big bosses. Be the owner of the factory. These are now a thing of the past. Although universities are no longer allotted for distribution, more and higher education provides greater opportunities for mobility to the upper classes of society and saves the cost. And in fact, children today will also experience social forces very early in school. Those children with good grades and parents who have money to send red envelopes will get better seats, better jobs, and more special attention. When I was studying, from elementary school to university, whether it was middle-ranking or first or second in the test, the attitude of the teachers was the same. Except for the first year of elementary school, I always found a seat by myself.
In order not to lose at the starting line, he must start from kindergarten or elementary school, and he has to work hard year after year for this dream to do a variety of exercises and test papers. Considering that our college entrance examination composition in Anhui will ask questions such as "Carrying a basket to see my mother in spring" and "Why should the ladder be placed sideways?" This may be a language disorder or a logic disorder, so in the first grade, we have to do something that even adults can't read. Mathematical word problems and ( ) pregnancy, ( ) childbirth such phrases collocation. Because the college entrance examination is a test paper, before the end of the term, there is a decent test paper with questions and scores waiting for the child every day. Because there are six subjects in the college entrance examination, he must not be partial to subjects. If he has a lame leg, he must find a tutor or tutoring class inside and outside the school, even if he does not like the course he is not good at at all, but in another He learned the subjects very well, because he likes to spend time studying, because according to the current situation where the difficulty of the college entrance examination is reduced, there is almost no chance for a lame child to enter a book. And the gap between the teaching resources of the first, second, and third books, the national investment and the teaching staff has widened far and wide, and it has been widened more and more, to the level of heaven and earth. Our society has become more and more unequal and more powerful. Now we all have the same dream, and the signal of the dream is becoming clearer and stronger. Even the children in kindergarten have to follow the dream even if they do not understand it. Rhythm to live.
Alexander climbed up from the blood skeleton pond in the devil's lair and saw the tribal woman trapped in the iron cage, and in front of them stood a half-human half-beast man in black clothes in a punk costume, his brain was extremely high. Developed, the brain has grown to the spinal cord, and there is a large transparent lump in the back. He said that after the collision of the moon debris, the surviving humans in this world were divided, one stayed underground, the other stayed on the ground, and he was the manipulator of their evolutionary order, an undead human spirit, If he didn't control the cannibals, those underground cannibals would have wiped out the fishermen on the ground long ago, and then of course the cannibals would also be wiped out, and the human race would have been completely wiped out. But Alexander still rescued the tribe woman with the wisdom of his ancestors 800,000 years ago, killed the human spirits and cannibals at the expense of his own time machine, fell in love with the tribe woman, and formed a happy family. We can't find where our cannibals live, because the differentiation of the population is after the college entrance examination, a few of them will become cannibals at the high end of the food chain, a few will become fishermen, and others are not so stable unless he In this society, it seems that only after passing the examination of teachers or civil servants has gained a little longer stability. No 800,000-year-old ancestors came to save us. Our dreams are far more powerful than the dreams in the movies, because it is not a dream every night in the middle of the night, and it is not an accidental day when people are hunted.
Mao Zedong canceled the college entrance examination many years ago, and Deng Xiaoping resumed the college entrance examination many years ago. This reminds people of Taoism and Confucianism a long time ago. Zhuangzi of Taoism has a fable, saying that the wheel is flat and the wheel is smashed. He laughed at the book you read, Duke Huan of Qi. It's all dross, because the saint is dead. Confucius of Confucianism said that I am not one who is born to know, but one who learns and then knows. Whether it is anti-intellectualism or intellectualism, from ancient times to the present, absolutely no one has imagined a world where we dream together. Even in the feudal imperial examination era, those who participated in the imperial examination were only a minority in society. In a world, I am speechless, speechless again, I want to cry but have no tears, so I don't want to cry, only we can save ourselves. There has never been a savior, only ourselves. Save the child!
