My white-collar friends, I have made great efforts and got what you can easily get. From the moment I was born, my identity was completely different from yours, because I can only apply for a rural hukou, while you are an urban hukou. If you keep your rural hukou when you grow up, you will not be able to find a formal job in the city and enjoy old-age insurance and medical insurance. So I want to go to the city, and I want to get your born big city hukou through my own struggle. Getting into college is my only chance to jump out of the farm. Struggling bravely on the single-plank bridge, watching the students around me fall in batches, the road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, I don't know whether I am happy or worried. Moreover, your pressure for further studies is much less, the competition is not so fierce and your homework is not very heavy. If you don't want to go to the college entrance examination so hard, as long as your grades are not too bad, you will have a chance to walk in senior three. Even if your grades are poor, you will be swept into a local third-rate university, and I may have to get a high score in that third-rate university to get in. Because there are too many places allocated by region in Shanghai. Our papers are the same and our scores are different, but when we all get the admission notice, the fees paid are the same. I am very lucky. Finally, I paid the tuition fee for the first year by patchwork and student loans. It's really not a taste to look at those students who are holding the admission notice and depressed to the point where the whole family is desperate. Universities in the era of educational industrialization recruit not only excellent students, but also wealthy parents. When I came to Shanghai, a big city, I found that compared with my classmates, I was really poor. I can't draw, play musical instruments, read martial arts novels or understand MP3. In order to understand the concept of "warehouse" supermarket in marketing class, I let "Metro" watch it curiously for a day. I have never seen such a wealth of goods. I have never touched a computer, so I spent half a year in the school computer room to learn the basic knowledge and operational skills you learned in middle school. My English pronunciation is incomprehensible to both China and foreigners, so I can only spend another year to correct my pronunciation. I can stand the ridicule of my classmates in the city. I can't eat a meat dish for weeks. I can soak in the library and study room all day on Saturday and Sunday. I can run around the playground in the silent night. I think one day when I graduate, when I can earn a salary in this big city, I will become a Shanghai citizen like you, a peer who grew up in the city, and my parents will be proud of me because their children work in big Shanghai! Finally graduated, with a monthly salary of about 2000. Maybe you think this money should be enough for you to spend, but for me, I still have to rent a house, pay utilities, coal and telephone bills, and pay a student loan. I also want to send some money to my family so that my younger siblings can continue their studies. The remaining money is only enough for me to eat 1.2% of the meal. I still can't sit and have coffee with you! Now I have finished my master's degree in Shanghai, and now I have a job with an annual salary of 70 thousand to 80 thousand. I have struggled for eighteen years, and now I can finally sit with you and have coffee with you. I have been integrated into this international metropolis, and I am no different from my white-collar friends. However, I can't forget those years of hard struggle, my former classmates and their long-cherished wish that can never be realized. Every time I see those students who are struggling with their fate, I always have a heavy sense of responsibility in my heart. When I was studying for a master's degree in Shanghai, I once discussed a marketing case of David newspaper. One of my classmates, who had three years' working experience at that time, is now the personnel administrative manager of a Sino-foreign joint venture company. He put forward a plan: let David Paper develop high-grade facial tissue products and push them to the 900 million farmers' market. I was surprised at her courage in putting forward the plan. At that time, I asked her if she knew how to deal with the greasy face of the peasant brother after eating. She looked at me doubtfully. I wiped my mouth twice with the back of my hand and gave her a contemptuous look at such indecent movements. In a macroeconomics class, another classmate of mine criticized laid-off workers and teenagers who dropped out of school to work: "Eighty percent of them didn't work hard when they were young, so they deserve to be laid off now!" Those students can study while working. It is said that many students can earn thousands of dollars in a summer vacation. Do you still have to worry about tuition? "My classmate is too ignorant of rural areas in poverty-stricken areas. I was born in the mid-1970s, and my peers are gradually becoming the mainstay of society. Our actions will affect social and economic development. The fairness in this world is relative, which is not terrible, but it is very terrible for young people who grew up in superior environment and suffered long ago, but now they have forgotten the unfairness. It took me eighteen years to sit down and have coffee with you.
