"Because you are a great poet!"
Most of the reasons why everyone chose Jiang Yulou as monitor were related to this.
My classmate is a nationally famous poet, and everyone feels honored.
If Teacher Zhou hadn't said that one person could only hold one position, they would have wished that Jiang Yulou had taken on all the class cadre positions.
Jiang Yulou smiled bitterly, "Well, this is a cocoon."
"I don't want to be so red."
This is his true voice. Rather than becoming famous, he wants to make money in a low-key manner.
It's a pity that God doesn't fulfill his wish.
When Jiang Yulou shrugged his shoulders and returned to the dormitory with Wei Guoping, he found that Yu Min and Xu Xiangdong had returned long ago.
The two also discovered that Xu Xiangdong seemed to have encountered some happy event, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be concealed even if he tried to hide it.
Wei Guoping asked, "Old Xu, why are you so happy?"
Xu Xiangdong pursed his lips, and Yu Min answered for him in an "interesting" way: "Xiangdong became the study committee member and English class representative of our class."
"Oh, not bad." Jiang Yulou said.
Xu Xiangdong held his head higher. All the students in the class were English majors. Selecting him as a study committee member and English class representative would not recognize his strength.
He has no reason not to be proud.
Wei Guoping congratulated cheerfully, and then said: "What a coincidence, Yulou also became the monitor of our class."
He added: "We were elected almost unanimously. I saw with my own eyes that Yulou's own vote chose other students with dignity and dignity."
Xu Xiangdong's smile froze. He should have thought that with Jiang Yulou's reputation among students, there was no reason for his classmates not to choose him.
Alas, I made a mistake, I was happy too early.
Then, several people chatted about interesting things in the class.
At this time, Wei Guoping mentioned his dream after graduating from Yanda mentioned by Teacher Zhou.
Yu Min said longingly: "My dream is to stay at Yanda and be satisfied as a university teacher."
"Be a teacher?" Wei Guoping couldn't understand Yu Min's thoughts at all.
Did he work so hard to get into Yanda University just to become a teacher?
Xu Xiangdong curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Yu Min, let me tell you. As long as graduates of Yan University don't make stupid mistakes, they will have a good future. Even if you have no interest in politics, it is not a problem to find a state-owned enterprise that pays well. None, I earn more but live less, which is countless times better than being a teacher."
"Really?" Yu Min was stunned and asked.
"Of course, I'll tell you..."
Wei Guoping, as a disciple of the big courtyard at the foot of the capital, knew all about the secrets inside. He probably told Yu Min about it, and the other party was moved.
Yu Min nodded and said with a smile: "It's better to go to a state-owned enterprise. The harvest will be guaranteed during droughts and floods."
He asked Xu Xiangdong again: "What about you?"
Xu Xiangdong replied confidently: "No need to ask, of course I am going to the United States!"
He has a high-ranking family background, fair appearance, unique insights, enthusiasm and self-confidence... No matter from which angle you look at it, Xu Xiangdong is truly a proud man of heaven. Even at Yenching University, where outstanding talents from all over the country are gathered, he is still standing at the top of the pyramid. A handful.
But such an outstanding talent regards America as his life dream and ultimate goal.
Wei Guoping also agreed with his statement: "The United States is the ideal of democracy and freedom. It has a strong national power, leading science and technology, a developed economy, and the people's welfare is also very good. Anyone who goes to the United States can live a happy life."
Then, Xu Xiangdong and Wei Guoping educated the two "country bumpkin" about the strength and wealth of the United States.
Jiang Yulou just said "hehe" twice and said nothing. He couldn't tell a few people that the United States was not as good as imagined.
He is just a country bumpkin who has lived in the countryside for eighteen years. How can he understand the good and bad of America?
We are still in the honeymoon period between China and the United States. From the official to the private sector, we have yet to hear anyone say anything bad about the United States.
It has become easy for future generations to go to the United States. Although there are still many families who will find ways to immigrate to the United States, earn money and spend money, and live a luxurious life of capitalism, but unlike many intellectuals of this era, they regard America as their lifelong pursuit. .
To future generations, Xu Xiangdong’s ideals were indeed naive and a bit ridiculous, but he knew very well that this was not a simple “worship of foreigners” but a problem of the times. In 1979, it had only been three years since the college entrance examination was resumed, and less than two years after the reform and opening up. In 2006, China and the United States had just established diplomatic relations, and many new things had a material and spiritual impact on young people.
Regardless of official or private propaganda, the United States is the most powerful country in the world.
People have a strong mentality. In addition, in this era, the Soviet Union has not yet fallen, and the United States has to compete with the Soviet Union. The lives of the people in the country are indeed good, and the United States has therefore become the target of the public.
This is just like a person's growth. He must first learn and accumulate enough knowledge to have a clear positioning of himself, and then learn to think and then make changes to make himself better, more progressive, and more perfect.
Now these students' yearning for America is like being in the learning stage, when they know what it is but don't know why. From their standpoint, no one knows why they do this, but external information tells us that it is the right thing to do.
Over the years, it is not difficult to understand why the elites want America.
"America..." Yu Min pushed up the frame of his glasses, with a different look on his face. The words of Xu Xiangdong and Wei Guoping opened a door to a new world for him.
As a real farmer's child, getting admitted to Yan University is enough to show off in various places. Being able to stay in Yan University to teach and then settle down in Yanjing is something that is even more unimaginable. But now, Xu Xiangdong and Wei Guoping and the two set a new goal for him, and one can imagine what impact it will have on Min.
"However, you are right to want to stay at Yanda to teach. With your ability, it will be extremely difficult to get a visa to the United States. It is more realistic to stay at the school." Xu Xiangdong made no secret of his disdain for Min.
In his opinion, a country bumpkin who can't even speak English should stop having daydreams that are destined to be unfulfilled.
What Yu Min didn't know was that in the eyes of people like Xu Xiangdong, he was very outdated and a countryman, but in fact, in the eyes of Jiang Yulou, these people were not the same.
"Hey, by the way, Yulou, where is your dream?"
Wei Guoping was quite curious about how Jiang Yulou would answer. After all, his expression was too calm and he seemed to have no hope for the future. But this was unrealistic, so he wanted to know his opinion.
Xu Xiangdong and Yu Min also looked at him. Unknowingly, Jiang Yulou already had a pivotal position in the dormitory.
Jiang Yulou answered truthfully: "I want to be a writer loved by the people."
