C10 Mandatory Education Hope Project

Su Jianguo looked at President Zhang, reviewing his childhood feelings for the first time, showing them to strangers and people he wanted to talk to.

The compulsory education issued in 1986 was an education that all children of appropriate age and young people had to accept. It was a public service that the country had to ensure. Mandatory education was also known as compulsory education and free compulsory education.

"Yes, no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education. " President Zhang nodded. He remembered that he had interviewed a few poor students. Indeed, dropping out of school was a huge psychological blow to the children.

"President Zhang is right. No matter how poor you are, you cannot be poor in education. " Su Jianguo sighed with emotion. "But back then, our family was even poorer than now. Although I know this principle, my father was truly unable to pay this fee. "

"Then, what did the village chief of your village do after that?" President Zhang asked curiously.

"After our village chief found out that I dropped out of school with a few of my friends, he held a meeting with the village cadres. I remember that it was Huang Meiyu's day. It was raining heavily outside, and it was drizzling inside with a basin. However, in such a house, the village chief decided to apply for a fee from the county. Pay the tuition fees for our children. " Su Jianguo looked at President Zhang, his eyes turning red.

"Do you still remember what was stated in the declaration of the meeting?" President Zhang asked as he recorded Su Jianguo's information.

"I roughly remember a paragraph. " Su Jianguo answered.

"What is it?" President Zhang stopped writing and raised his head to look at Su Jianguo.

"Parents do not send students to school. Parents have to bear the responsibility; schools do not accept young students to school. The school has to bear the responsibility; the government does not provide the appropriate conditions, but it must also be regulated by the law. " Su Jianguo smiled embarrassedly. "At that time, when I was in junior high school, I only remembered this sentence. No matter how profound the content was, I did not remember it. "

"Being able to remember this paragraph is already very impressive. Then what was the approval from the county? Did your family get the notice? " President Zhang asked the question that he was concerned about.

"I remember. " Su Jianguo nodded. This signified the first major change in his life. He would remember it for the rest of his life.

"What is it?" President Zhang looked at Su Jianguo.

"The central government used two years to waive the miscellaneous fees for compulsory education in the rural areas. As such, we agreed to let Comrade Song Ke apply for funding from the county government. " Su Jianguo looked at President Zhang. "This is the first time I have felt the warmth of the policy. However, I do not know that all of this originated from the 11th year, 3rd class, and meeting in 1978. "

"It is not easy for the county government to allocate funds. I believe this matter has touched you greatly, right?" President Zhang smiled.

"Yes, it's a very deep feeling. It's enough to be remembered for the rest of your life. However. . . "Su Jianguo changed the topic and President Zhang became interested.

"But what is it?" President Zhang asked.

"This is not the first time I have received funding from the government. Actually, 1989, which was last year, I accepted it once " Su Jianguo said in embarrassment.

"1989? Ah. . . Is it Hope Engineering?" President Zhang's heart was in turmoil. There really weren't many children who could catch up to the nine years of obligation and Hope Engineering. It would be even more difficult for him to interview them.

"Yes. It's the Hope Engineering. " Su Jianguo nodded.

President Zhang expressed his obvious interest. "Can you tell me about it?"

"After 1986, my dad started a small business and earned a small sum of money. It can be used to help me get into high school. But not long after that. . . My dad's business failed, and the expenses of my family became a problem again. I was once again faced with the matter of dropping out of school. This is the second time I faced it. " Su Jianguo's voice became softer and softer.

"Dropping out of school will have a huge impact on you. Is that right? " President Zhang could feel Su Jianguo's inferiority and uneasiness.

"Mhm, very big. Almost giving up hope for life. " Su Jianguo did not dare to say that he had once wanted to give up on himself.

" What happened after that? " President Zhang waited for Su Jianguo to adjust his mood.

"Later on. . . " Su Jianguo's voice started to turn hoarse. "Our village chief and the school helped me apply for a youth fund. "

Su Jianguo lowered his head. That was the darkest moment of his life. As he was not within the scope of nine years of compulsory education, he was unable to pay the tuition fees for high school and had to stay at home for more than a month.

During that month, Su Jianguo had been indulging in his thoughts, thinking about where he should go in the future, thinking about how this poor family should change, thinking about what his future would be like, thinking about whether he would be poor enough to beg for food, thinking about whether he would not be able to bear the fact that he would drop out of school and give up on himself.

At that time, he did not dare to go out. He did not dare to talk to anyone in that small thatched hut he was in. He lowered his head every day, as if the world had collapsed.

It was also at that time that his classmates, who were from the same hometown as Jianjun Cheng, came to his home to guide him and help him get out of his inner demons.

At that time, Su Jianguo knew that in the darkest moment, people really needed encouragement, and they also needed other people's recognition of themselves. Due to the encouragement of the Jianjun Corps, Su Jianguo had the courage to walk out of his room. Only then did he have the courage to look for his own village head, hoping to apply for the Youth Fund for the Hope Project.

"How did you apply for it?" President Zhang looked at Su Jianguo.

"Poverty. . . And the certificate that my sister and I have saved up after studying hard. . . " Su Jianguo rubbed his hands. That experience made him somewhat uneasy.

Because the fear of dropping out of school once again struck his heart.

"I heard that in junior high school, you participated in handmade labor classes and used wood carving as a train?" When President Zhang was copying the Daily Light by Su Jianguo, he called Zhao Cheng and obtained some information about Su Jianguo from him. As for Zhao Cheng, he also got rid of President Zhang and tried to understand Su Jianguo's inner thoughts.

This was also one of the reasons why President Zhang came to Su Jianguo's side to chat with Su Jianguo.

Since Su Jianguo was one of the railway men chosen by Zhao Cheng, He wanted to see if this young man could bear the heavy burden of China's railway rising up.

"President Zhang? You know about this too?" Su Jianguo looked at President Zhang in surprise.

"Your father, Old Su, told the other comrades in our society. " President Zhang changed the topic and continued asking, "Why do you want the wooden train?"

"Because. . . " Su Jianguo did not dare to say it. These words were a little fake and a little too big. Although he said it sincerely, it sounded very funny.

"It doesn't matter, young man. Just tell me what you think. " President Zhang waited for Su Jianguo's answer. He was very curious as to what kind of shocking or ordinary things Su Jianguo was talking about.

"Because it's a comic painting of my classmate. " Su Jianguo looked at President Zhang.

"Chain painting?" President Zhang looked at Su Jianguo doubtfully. A person who possessed a company painting was not something a family like Su Jianguo could possess. How could someone in a village possess such a thing?

"Un, our village's Zhiqing was brought here by my classmate's mother. " Su Jianguo's explanation made President Zhang smile.

No wonder. . . Zhiqing was a group of people who had attended school.

"Do you remember that comic?" President Zhang asked.

"'Old railway worker'. " Just as Su Jianguo finished his sentence, President Zhang's eyes widened.

"Is it the 'Old railway worker' that Mr. Fan Sheng Fu drew up for Young Children's Publishing Firm in 1965?" President Zhang looked at Su Jianguo with a puzzled expression.

"Mhm. " Only then did Su Jianguo nod his head. President Zhang's smile widened.

"Why did that comic make you remember it so deeply?" President Zhang was even more curious to know if children's reading was very important to the National Talent Program, especially in the strategic significance of science and education.

If children's reading was really important, Perhaps President Zhang wanted to put more effort into children's books.

"Because of the old railway worker's perseverance, ten years of hammering the tracks like a day, and the old model's earnest spirit. When I was young, I only remembered these things. " What Su Jianguo said was very true, but to President Zhang, it was not true at all.

"That year, when you looked at this comic book, how old were you?" President Zhang wanted to know the age that would leave a deep impression on the child.

"Eight years old. " Su Jianguo said, "At that time, my handwriting was incomplete, and Auntie Liu had to read it to me and Jianjun. "

"So it was eight years old. . . "

President Zhang smiled in relief. That's right, one must at least be able to read in order to know what was written in the book. Only then would one be able to understand what the story was about.

It seemed like as the president of the publishing house, he had to start paying attention to the education of books and children.

"Just because of this manga, you carved a train?" President Zhang changed the topic, "For you, is it difficult to carve a train? You're so small, how can you sit down and carve that kind of work? "

"Because Grandpa Zhou knocks on the rail every ten years like a day, it makes me feel that doing one thing takes a lot of time and energy. "

What Su Jianguo said made President Zhang blink his eyes. A child's reading really had a far-reaching influence on children.

"You also won the award because of that wooden sculpture, right?" President Zhang smiled.

"Yes, it also became one of the key points for me to receive funding from the Hope Engineering Youth Fund" Su Jianguo said.

"Looking back at your youth, do you have any feelings?" President Zhang prepared to end today's interview so that he could tell Zhao Cheng about the other side of Su Jianguo.

"In the past, I didn't know the root of everything. Thus, the biggest feeling I had was that the country's policy prevented me from dropping out of school. " Su Jianguo answered honestly.

"What happened after that?" President Zhang waited for Su Jianguo's next words.

"Now that I know that it was the Year 1978 Year 1978 Year 11 of the Tripartite Congress that allowed me to finish reading all the books, I am grateful for the Year 1978. No, I am grateful for that. " Su Jianguo spoke of his true feelings. "It is a pity that I failed the country that funded me and did not get into a university. "

Su Jianguo lowered his head, looking like he had made a mistake. "I once wanted to repeat my studies, but my family couldn't support it. Thus, I thought that I would choose a technical school and use the technology I learned to thank the government for sponsoring me. "

"So you came here to look for relevant information about the new train?" President Zhang changed the topic.

"Yes. I want to understand the new line as much as possible and use all the paths I can think of to get a complete understanding of the new line. To understand what kind of project a world-renowned train must go through to build it. . . What kind of heavy industry will be produced, what kind of components will be needed to make it. If you give me time and opportunity, I want to learn the relevant knowledge about every component, every project, and every heavy industry, and become a multi-disciplinary technical worker. " Su Jianguo looked at President Zhang.

"You want to be a multidisciplinary worker? What kind of worker is that?" President Zhang's interest was piqued.
