Perth Diary Day 149: We can't choose our birthplace, but we can choose our burial place

At the time of the college entrance examination, this sentence has resonated with countless students.

In Shandong, where we are located, even if you get a score of 600+ in the self-study room, it is not as good as a university that can be entered by students in Beijing and Shanghai.

Many friends in Beijing and Shanghai will say that the students in Beijing and Shanghai are quality education, and the test papers are different, but don’t other students living in Henan, Shandong, Hebei and remote areas not want a more relaxed and pleasant quality education? Who likes everyday life? Soak in the endless sea of mock exam papers.

I was fortunate enough to have worked in Beijing for three months. The former Faxiao had become complacent with a Beijing hukou, and I could feel an incomparable sense of superiority in my words, and a sense of disappointment filled my heart endlessly.

It seems that no matter where I go, I have always automatically substituted myself among the disadvantaged groups to experience their sadness and injustice.

I still remember many years ago, when the policy of expelling the 'low-end population' in Beijing was introduced, I asked another friend who worked in Beijing how she felt, and her answer was that it was very good, and the surrounding environment was purified.

But I am saddened from the heart. Today, I can drive out the renting group without education. Will I be able to drive out the university degree in the future? Will it be able to drive out the master degree again in a while?

I think injustice will definitely exist, no matter when and where, but what each of us should do is to try to eliminate the existence of injustice, instead of squeezing the scalp and trying to stand high on the scale At that end, become a vested interest.

Only when everyone speaks out for injustice, the injustice that cannot be eliminated will have the opportunity to be eliminated as much as possible. Otherwise, we will become an injustice party one day.

It seems to be an unwritten rule. It seems that our children in Shandong are proud of being able to work at the feet of the emperor, and especially proud of being able to carry the rice bowl of the emperor's grain.

In other places, I don’t know very well, but I know that there are still many people who want their children to change their family background through hard work and get admitted to 985 and 211 universities. There are even countless parents who hope to change their children’s fate by studying hard. Send a plane to change your regretful life.

I think this is the most important reason why the Chinese attach so much importance to education. Even in Australia, the Chinese community is still the community that attaches the most importance to the education of the next generation. Of course, there are many tragedies under the attempt to manipulate the fate of the next generation.

In my opinion, this is the wrong way of not taking control of your life to the best of your ability and looking for other ways.

Since I have been working in the self-media for a long time, I have also started an English school, and I have come into contact with many parents who yearn to live abroad, and many have pinned their hopes on their children.

In my opinion, this is not an optimal solution. The expectation for the future life is rooted in the children, but the children's life is still different from other life issues of their own, and it is easy to get out of control under the ardent expectations. , the ability to control, is not as easy as those who seek to control themselves.

In fact, hoping to change the fate of children, in my opinion, is still a form of lack of courage to change their own lives. After all, it is much more difficult to let children study hard to achieve their dreams than to achieve their own dreams. And the latter is a payment without an excuse to retreat, only oneself pays the bill for one's own efforts.

An epidemic has awakened countless confused people. At the beginning of the epidemic in the past 20 years, I have already judged in my past articles that every year in the past will be the best years for a long time in the future. The current situation has more and more affirmed my original judgment. Although it was not a hit, it also made me regret that it came too fast and too hastily, disrupting the plans of many people who were already in action. , also shows that our action is late enough.

So we don't need to be too sad about our misfortune, because everything has a reason, and we also need to pay the price for our own hindsight.

But if you have the courage to break the boat, you will still have a chance, at least more than the unknown situation next, and more likely than predicting the situation of your children ten years later.

In this lifetime, it is true that people cannot change the place of their birth, but through their own efforts, they can change the place of their future life, the place of their children's birth, and the place of their burial. These are what we really have the opportunity to control.
