7 postgraduate entrance examinations and 3 doctoral defense, the author responds to the "explosion fire" paper thanks for thanks

Text | "China Newspaper" reporter Li Chenyang

"I left my hometown at the age of 18 in 2005 and traveled far away. So far, I graduated from a 35 -year -old doctor and passed for a full 17 years. During the period, I took 7 graduate exams and 3 doctoral dissertations defense. , Dr. Economics and other stages of learning. Because of the interruption of academics, he served as the first secretary at the grassroots level and worked at a number of agricultural enterprises at the grassroots level.

Recently, the doctoral dissertation of Zhao An (pseudonym "Zhao Anzhi") of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences has become popular. The text above comes from it.

In addition to being moved by the tearful story in the text, netizens are also very curious about Zhao An's experience of "7 graduate exams and 3 doctoral dissertations".

Zhao An's trouble came from this. The Xie article was originally published on his personal public account. Some media used the title of "7 postgraduate entrance examinations, repeated trials" and other titles that were not fully consistent with the facts, which caused discomfort from some readers. Some people question whether he is advocating a "academic qualification first" values, and thanks to whether the article reflects a distorted mentality of "academic qualifications paranoia".

"I don't want some misunderstandings because I didn't tell the matter clearly. I don't want this thanks to the society to pass on to the society. It is a kind of anxiety, paranoia, and tearing." Zhao An said. He accepted an exclusive interview with the Journal of China and told this special life experience in detail.

Zhao An, doctor, native of Zhenyuan County, Gansu Province, member of the Communist Party of China. He studied at the University of Lanzhou, Renmin University of China, and the University of Social Sciences of China. The research direction is agricultural economics. He has served as the village branch and the first secretary, and in 2016, the publishing work collection "Qi Village Struggle -the Chinese Dream of a Village Division".

The following is Zhao An's self -report:

As a grain of sand in the torrent of the times, I can get the care and blessings of so many friends, which makes me feel honored and helpless.

I share my life experience, although each article is written carefully, and most of the reading volume is only 3 digits. Now, this doctoral dissertation has thanked 200,000 background reading.

As an ordinary doctor, I never thought that one day I would face such traffic and public opinion. Open the message board, most people are goodwill and encouragement, but such a large traffic, even if only a few percent "scolds me", I think I can't sleep (laughs).

In particular, the first media to interview my media used the words "7 postgraduate entrance examinations, repeated trials", so that some readers felt that my mentality was very "distorted". Target.

Some netizens are worried that I have tested so many times, is it failed to have the level of IQ? Such people can also mix a doctoral team and will it harm the society? Some people care about my employment issues: "If Dr. 35 -year -old graduates, will you be unemployed if you graduate?"

So I was interviewed today. I just want to make my 17 -year -old "wonderful" experience clearly, respond to everyone's questions, and clarify some of the false information of some online transmission.

First of all, I wrote such a paragraph at the beginning of thanks, "Education is only part of the experience, and it does not necessarily represent anything. Exploration on any level is commendable." The words were deleted.

In fact, this is not a hypocritical humility, but the real conclusion I drawn according to my own experience.

"7 postgraduate entrance examinations" are true, "repeatedly tried" is not true

The first thing to declare is that "7 postgraduate entrance examinations" are not "7 times."

I studied undergraduate at Lanzhou University and majored in grass science. Although he is a science student, my growth experience is more complicated and bumpy, and I have always been very concerned about social issues. I chose to cross -examination economics during the postgraduate entrance examination.

Like many young people who have just farewell to universities, at that time, I neither knew myself nor society. Coupled with the goal too high and the span when applying for the exam, it has been pierced into the "most painful" three years.

I am a child who came out of the cave from the northwest and half -mountainside, and I have a natural desire for north, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. After graduating from college, I left Gansu for the first time, went south to Guangzhou, worked for real estate developers during the day, did some copywriting work, returned to my residence to pick up lights at night, preparing for postgraduate entrance examinations.

I wrote in thanks that at that time I lived in "Handhake" and "Capsule House". Many friends do n’t understand. Here, the so -called “handshake building” was a common building in the urban and rural areas of Guangzhou's suburbs at that time. The distance between the building was very small. People in the two adjacent buildings could hold their hands out of the window. The aisle between the buildings is very humid and dark, and the mice and worms are running around. Then the compartment in the building was very small, only 4 to 5 square meters, like living in a "capsule".

The separation from us is the top community in Guangzhou. The rich and prosperous are close at hand, but it is out of reach. I often look at the opposite side from the window, and I think this is a distance that I can't cross through my life.

I have been in the postgraduate entrance examination for 3 years, and finally received only a notice of a school that is not very ideal. At the same time, I was admitted to my hometown's grass -roots career editors. I chose the latter.

When I first went to the grassroots, I was still a little bit stunned. But now I look back, the three years of grass -roots work experience has re -shaped my three views, which has a profound impact on my later academic direction and research methods. The gold content of these 3 years is not lower than any degree I got later.

When Zhao An and the people in the mountains inspected the difficulties of drinking water, when I joined the job for 3 months, I just caught up with the first batch of "First Secretary" in Gansu Province. Although I was only 24 years old at that time, Secretary Li Sichi, who was the leader of the Chengguan Town Party Committee of Town, appreciated me very much and sent me to this position with a huge power.

Although I am a native rural baby, I went to a village to serve as the leader. This difficulty was beyond my imagination.

I am like the small neck in the middle of the hourglass. I want to connect to the poverty alleviation office, the transportation office, the water bureau, the Electric Power Bureau, the Education Bureau, the Energy Bureau, the Health and Health Bureau, etc. Passing from my mouth; down to face the problems of the father and fellows.

Secretary Li Sichi often praised me and said that my secretary should be good. I asked how good? The leader immediately came out: I have never hit it for 3 years (laughs).

These experiences focus on all my eyes on the issue of agriculture and rural areas. In the future, all my study and research work will never leave this mother.

After half a year of practice at the grassroots level, I took the fourth postgraduate entrance examination in my life, or economics. Perhaps it was because of the deepening of the discipline in actual work, maybe because of the completely flattened mentality, I have scored good results this time.

However, at the end of the year, our village was listed as a contact unit for precision poverty alleviation in the municipal party committee. After the county and township organizations were brewing repeatedly, I decided to serve as the village secretary. In this important window period, I couldn't pick up my studies.

For the fifth postgraduate entrance examination, I reported on the name of Majun, and also confirmed the admission ticket on the spot. In the end, I was too busy because I was too busy that day.

In the 6th and 7th postgraduate entrance examinations, I made an important transformation, and the zero foundation began to prepare for the legal majors.

If the purpose of "admission" is simply the same, then my choice is obviously irrational. But I think that if you continue to review economic knowledge over and over again, it will be a waste of precious youth.

Compared to academic qualifications, learning really useful knowledge is the most important. In my job at the time, I was urgently needed to armed myself with legal knowledge.

At this stage, the postgraduate entrance examination is no longer my purpose of life, but it is a by -product of learning and experience in the process of personal growth.

In this way, for the seventh time, I was admitted to the Lanzhou University Master of Law. Prior to this, I also studied the Master of Agriculture from Renmin University of China. It happened that my three -year term was full, and I went to Lanzhou to study without any heart.

The 7 -year preparation and 3 -year master's degree is studying for a total of 10 years. In the first 5 years, self -study economics, and systematic learning law in the next 5 years. Before the age of 30, I basically set up the four beams and eight pillars of my knowledge structure.

My experience is not so much "7 years of postgraduate entrance examination". It ’s just a somewhat a little bit of test theory, so as to ask for the argument, and it’ s too short for 7 years.

Three doctoral defense, have nothing to do with "academic internal volume"

In addition to the "7 postgraduate entrance examinations", many people care about why I have participated in three doctoral dissertations.

Some friends who are still studying are worried about this and ask me, "Is it necessary for academics to roll to this extent?" But in fact, this has nothing to do with the academic internal scroll.

My doctor has read a total of 4 years, which is often said to be "extended for one year", which is basically a normal speed in the doctors.

The title of my doctoral dissertation involves a "cold knowledge" in migrant workers' rights and interests -work injury insurance.

In recent years, the labor force of a large number of rural households has poured into industries such as takeaway and express delivery. They cannot pay five insurances and one gold in the city. These two dangers do not include work injury insurance, but they are just high -risk people who are injured. In recent years, I have studied this issue mainly in the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Although the paper is now thanking "fire", as a researcher, I hope people will pay more attention to these social issues we have studied and care about the people's livelihood.

Doing such research must not only read thousands of books, but also do 10,000 miles. I visited more than 20 counties in 11 provinces and investigated many industries. In addition to takeaway courier, there were miners, construction workers, and jade processing workers.

Although I was fully prepared, I did not pass the first doctoral defense. For the second time I applied for another time, I spent more time grinding, but it was killed again, which greatly hit my self -confidence.

The instructor told me that your point of view is always emerging, but what is the basis for these views? Under the guidance of many teachers, I sank and sank to polish the logical chain of the dissertation, and finally completed it successfully during the third defense.

Doctorate is the highest academic degree recognized by the country, and it should be high -standard for strict standards. Although my process is a little embarrassed, I have enjoyed it when I go back to see it, because I have experienced a strict academic training in a solid manner, and it looks like Nirvana's rebirth in the thinking system.

A weak reminder here can only receive 1250 yuan subsidy every month when I read a doctorate. In the year of standing, there are old and young, and for many cold gate students, insisting on this step is actually a huge challenge to the entire family.

It is hoped that the country and society will understand and help those students who are from poor families and are still dreamed of doctoral dreams.

Every pass will not walk in vain

In 17 years, although my experience is a bit special, it is not a "legend". If there is anything that can share with the majority of students and the majority of young people, it is probably: in such a very difficult environment in employment, you may have to go to some platform experience that looks less "bull" first. Some friends will feel frustrated and disappointed, but my experience is that this situation may not be as bad as you think. Each of us, no matter what corner of the fate is in the corner, we should work hard to send out light and heat to maintain a positive attitude, and then this road will not walk in vain.

Just like the years I worked at the grassroots level, it sounded far from being as beautiful as studying in a prestigious school. However, not only did I get sharpening in the difficult and complicated work, but also under the simple conditions of no mentor guidance and no project funding, based on my own personal experience at the grassroots level to complete the "Qi Village Struggle -the Chinese Dream of a Village Division". This book.

Today, my country has selected at least 100,000 first secretary. However, in our university education, it rarely involves professional knowledge such as the first secretary, grassroots cadres, and village governance. Many young people come to the village. The first question facing is: How do you do this?

In recent years, the first secretary of many places has come to contact me, claiming to be a reader of "Qicun Struggle", and shared with me the insights and gains of reading this book.

This made me very emotional: I have written a little immature thing many years ago, which also affected so many first secretary.

Recently, I have given up the urge to write another book "Ten Years of Qicun". He has been the secretary of the party branch, the first secretary, and the chairman of the village cooperative in 2012, and has been 10 years.

I hope that in these 10 years as the cycle, the transformation of a village branch and a village will be recorded. Through rich cases, and more rigorous sociological research methods, write a book that is more meaningful for people.

I believe that every reader and friends have legendary life experience and wonderful life stories. During the long journey, no matter how high the mountains are and the peaks, as long as we keep climbing, we will constantly refresh the height of life.

In terms of the right thing (more than just "postgraduate entrance examinations"), he has persistently devoted his efforts and energy. It is a few years, ten years, and decades. He does not seek quick results. I believe everyone can live as their own legend.
