On the loudspeaker at the brigade headquarters, the China Central Radio program continued.
The familiar voice of the female announcer had just finished, and the voice of a resolute and sonorous gay man rang out: "The following is an important news. The Government Administration Council has approved the State Education Commission's "Opinions on the Enrollment of Higher Education Institutions in 1977" and "On the Enrollment of Higher Education Institutions" "Opinions on Recruiting Graduate Students" two documents announced that the college entrance examination will be resumed immediately this year..."
In front of the broadcast room, hundreds of male and female educated youths were stunned when they heard this. Everyone was like a wooden man, dumbfounded.
After a while, someone suddenly said: "I...did I hear correctly? Is the country going to resume the college entrance examination?"
"I...I also heard that the country is going to resume the college entrance examination!"
"The country is going to resume the college entrance examination, woo woo woo... after ten years, we have finally waited..."
...
Seeing that everyone's emotions were gradually getting out of control, Zhou Yang immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone, be quiet and listen carefully!"
Zhou Yang's words were like a tranquilizer, shocking the hearts of all the educated youth present. Everyone suppressed their excitement and listened to the broadcast carefully again.
"...According to the "Opinions on the Enrollment of Colleges and Universities in 1977", all workers, farmers, educated youth who go to the mountains and countryside or return to their hometowns, demobilized servicemen, cadres and fresh graduates who meet the conditions can apply... ..”
"The admissions method is voluntary registration, unified examination, prefecture and city primary selection, and school admission. The unified examination will be restored, with provincial-level propositions. The admissions examination will be held in the winter, and freshmen will enter in the spring..."
Perhaps because this news was so important, the news was broadcast for seven or eight minutes. It first officially announced the resumption of the college entrance examination this winter, and then gave a detailed explanation of how to resume the college entrance examination.
After hearing the news on the radio, all the educated youths, both male and female, were excited. They couldn't help but hug their friends next to them, cheering and crying, venting their inner excitement and joy to their heart's content.
This time Zhou Yang did not stop them. He knew very well what the educated youths in front of him had gone through and what the college entrance examination meant to them.
After about ten minutes, the mood of the educated youths gradually stabilized.
At this time, Zhou Yang coughed lightly and said, "Okay, everyone, be quiet!"
Hearing Zhou Yang's voice, the more than a hundred educated youths all consciously closed their mouths, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhou Yang.
On the one hand, everyone was curious about how Zhou Yang got the news before them!
On the other hand, everyone is more curious about what Zhou Yang will do after he asks everyone to come over and hear the news!
"Everyone has heard the broadcast just now. The country is indeed going to resume the college entrance examination this winter. I think you all know what this means to everyone."
Then Zhou Yang continued: "This is a rare opportunity for everyone. If you pass the exam this time, not only can you return to the city through this method, but you can also become a national cadre with an iron rice bowl after graduation. ..”
Before he finished speaking, someone loudly asked: "Zhou Zhiqing, do you think many people will take part in the resumption of the college entrance examination?"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "It is certain that there are many people taking the college entrance examination. After all, if you count it out, this year's college entrance examination is actually composed of 12 high school graduates from the class of 1966 to 1977, plus some of the 1978 class." Outstanding high school students participate in advance, and it can be said that talents from 13 grades are "competing" together."
"So your opponents this time may be classmates, comrades-in-arms, brothers, sisters, or even fathers and sons, teachers and students. Next, you will have to enter the same examination room with these closest people, from the field and workshop, from home and society, and then, Compete in the same field and compete against each other!”
If Zhou Yang remembers correctly, a total of 5.7 million students actively signed up for the college entrance examination held in the winter of 1977.
Including candidates in the summer of 1978, the number of candidates in the two seasons reached 11.6 million.
"hiss!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath.
"Zhiqing Zhou, with so many people taking the college entrance examination, can we people do it?" someone else asked.
"I said you can't do it, so why don't you take the exam and give up?"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "You remember, no matter how many people are competing on the same stage, everyone has two shoulders to carry one head. You have no fewer arms or legs than others, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Cui Jinjin also echoed: "Old Zhou is right, how can anyone be timid before fighting? Besides, most of us have been reviewing since last year, so we are better than others!"
Liu Lu also said loudly: "Yes, no matter whether we pass the exam or not, we will always work hard. Even if we fail to pass the exam in the end, we can't leave any regrets for ourselves!"
"Yes, give it a try, who cares..."
........
After hearing this, everyone seemed to have been given a shot of blood and became full of passion again.
Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Young people these days are really too passionate and too naive. For big things, just a few words of chicken soup will make them scream. How good!
But after all, the college entrance examination is all about strength. No matter how much you talk, if you don't learn from the facts, you will be blind in the examination room.
Therefore, in order to prevent these people from turning the college entrance examination into a two-day trip or an "eight-year war of resistance", we still have to help them create some necessary conditions.
Thinking of this, he said again: "Okay, don't yell. As educated youths, I understand everyone's mood at this time. But I want to remind you that you can't get into college by relying on your words. In the final analysis, you have to rely on your strength. say."
"However, I wholeheartedly support everyone's participation in the college entrance examination, so I will share with you some of my next thoughts!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone became quiet again, and everyone's eyes focused on Zhou Yang again.
Zhou Yang did not keep everyone waiting, and said directly: "I will discuss it with Party Secretary Wang and the others later. From now on, all educated youths in the village and ordinary members who have attended junior high school or high school will suspend all work and concentrate their efforts. Conduct a pre-exam assault to prepare for the college entrance examination!"
"In addition, I will pool existing resources to open several college entrance examination crash courses in the village, where all those who want to take the college entrance examination will go for systematic review. Also, all educated youths and community members in the village who take the college entrance examination will receive a set of corresponding review materials.”
"All in all, the village will do everything possible to help you. All you have to do is study hard and strive to be on the gold list in this year's college entrance examination!"
After hearing Zhou Yang's arrangement, all the educated youth present were shocked and burst into loud cheers.
They really didn't expect Zhou Yang to support them so much, and they were all very excited.
Originally, Zhou Yang wanted to tell them a few words not to waste this rare opportunity.
But seeing how excited these people were, he felt that it was not necessary.
These educated youths in front of them are people who have endured hardship and know how rare this opportunity is. They will make their own choice whether to stay in the village and compete with the endless farm work or to go back to school in the city to go to university.
What he has to consider now is how to persuade Wang Ping and others to let these educated youths go off work to prepare for the exam.
Although the autumn harvest is almost over, there is still a lot of business in the village. Just processing tens of thousands of tons of forage into biological feed is a big project.
It will take so many strong laborers out of work at once, and the impact will not be small.
But for the long-term interests of the village, Zhou Yang still has to discuss it with these village cadres!
At that moment, he immediately asked Cui Qianjin to go to the backyard to invite Wang Ping and others to the meeting room of the brigade headquarters.
PS: Chapter 2 is delivered!
