Bring a dream, carry it with weight

Recently, I saw a media survey report: About 75% of the more than 3,000 respondents believe that family origin determines the professional development of the individual, and only 30% of the respondents Recognizing struggle can change your life. This means that only three of the ten people recognize the meaning of struggle, and believe that struggle can take them away from the trajectory of their father's life, and thus get a better social status and career development than their parents. This is a heart-rending investigation. While we advocate the use of knowledge and struggle to change our destiny, many people still find that the reality is so difficult to change, so weak, and it is given to people. Disappointment and helplessness are so heavy.

This "hereditary" in social status and career development is a manifestation of the solidification of social classes. The differentiation and solidification of China's current social class is gradually drawing a picture of stagnation, and the channels of social circulation to the upper classes are becoming narrower. The dream of the poor second generation to achieve the "rich generation" has become unreachable and extremely difficult.

The only choice that has been changed in fate--education, its ability to promote social mobility has fallen into a low tide. When the society continues to question the education system, everyone has gradually discovered that China’s current education system can no longer carry the children of the cold door. Dreams, the "hereditary" of poverty has become quite helpless. This "hereditary" did not begin only from the moment when we graduated from college and entered the society. From the moment we took the university, the high school, and even the kindergarten, this "hereditary" began to follow. The strong have occupied a wealth of resources from the very beginning, and thus lead the way, while the weak, must pay countless efforts, perhaps to sit down with the innate power to drink coffee. I remember that Yang Dongping, an education scholar, came to the conclusion of the survey on the fairness of higher education in China: the proportion of rural students in China's national key universities has been falling since the 1990s. This conclusion means that the connection between the individual's origin and the level of education is getting closer and closer, and it is increasingly difficult for the individual's fate to change by relying on education.

This is a universal reality that more and more people can feel. All levels of society are calling for educational fairness. However, when the determination and slogan are so bright, the reality is still disappointing. The Macheng desk incident I mentioned last time reflects the huge differences between urban and rural education. These conditions are not only found in rural areas, but also in marginalized groups in cities, which are also suffering from unfair education. Recently, the controversy triggered by the conditions of the children’s college entrance examinations in the field has revealed the inequality that is treated differently by household registration. A group that has contributed to the development of the city for many years. When their children were in the college entrance examination, they were blocked because of their household registration, whether their parents had stable jobs, etc., and even the qualifications for taking the college entrance examination were in jeopardy. This is extremely unreasonable.

All along, we can say that we are struggling in terms of education equity. For the current situation of entanglement, there may be people who are looking forward to a vigorous and thorough change, and can make everything beautiful and smooth at once. This is a fairy tale. Even when Qian Liqun is committed to the reform of basic education, he also believes that the essence of education is subtle and subtle. The reform of education also follows the "slow and uninterested" and long-term struggle. in principle. Promoting education equity, and thus smoothing and broadening the channels of lower-level mobility of the society, will be a long-term battle. The most sad thing in this battle is not the length of time consumed by this process, but in the process, The annihilation of many expectations of breaking and dreams. Just like the data mentioned at the beginning, among the ten companions, only a few of the three are firmly convinced that the struggle is important, and that the dream is still possible.

The most terrible part of reality is the breaking of dreams. If you give in, then you can only surrender to things called "destiny" and "born". Many of the people who have not inherited their wealth and status from their fathers are mostly: the reality is heavy and the future is far away. For these people, changing the fate is to carry forward the burden. On the way forward, the dream should not be the weight of the shoulder, but the wings that help you fly. It can alleviate the pain of reality and let you see the struggle. The meaning.

In any case, when you are carrying weights, please keep your dreams up.
