February 4, 1996, the beginning of spring.

Rongcheng.

"The Future of Belongs to China" has been published for two months and eight days, with sales of nearly 1.2 million copies. Not only are domestic and foreign media interviewed, but booksellers from major cities also actively contacted Song Weiyang and wanted to hold an on-site signing meeting for Song Weiyang. On the school side, the leaders of the law school also wanted Song Weiyang to give a speech and talk about his expectations for the future of China.

Song Weiyang was so upset that as soon as the final exam was over, he accompanied his girlfriend back to Chengdu for the postgraduate entrance examination.

The five authors of "China Can Say Not" are just the opposite. The media interviewed the audience and signed and sold books every week. The most funny thing is that when they signed the sale in Beijing, Xinhua Bookstore urgently transferred a bunch of pirated copies to readers, and then asked the original author to sign it on it.

Before the outbreak of SARS, the time for postgraduate entrance examinations was not fixed, usually at the end of January and often at the beginning of February. This adds a bit of pain to postgraduate entrance examinations, because it is often uncomfortable to celebrate the New Year around the Spring Festival!

Take 1992 as an example. At the beginning of the Chinese New Year, it was still far from the Lantern Festival, so the students walked into the examination hall one by one.

This year is pretty good. I just can go home to celebrate the New Year after the postgraduate entrance examination.

The test site was not closed to the school, and Song Weiyang sat on the campus, reading the book leisurely. When Lin Zhuoyun finished the English exam, he had read a quarter of the book "Language and Symbol Power".

This book is very interesting. The author Bourdieu believes that language communication is also a disguised expression of group power relations. Any language communication, use and expression contains relevant factors of the communication in the social space and location of both parties, such as gender, education, class, location, etc.

Language communication is unequal!

First of all, the official monopoly on legalized language and strengthens the status of the official language through education. In life, superiors have linguistic power over subordinates, parents over children, intellectuals over ordinary people, etc. At the same time, it can also be reversed. For example, a candidate gives a canvassing speech and deliberately says to please voters in local dialects. This is called a "condescending strategy". "condescending strategy" can well negate and cover up the truth of linguistic violence, strengthen the effect of misunderstanding, and thus strengthen the effect of linguistic symbol violence.

Song Weiyang is more concerned about the "economics of language exchange" in this book. The process of language communication also has the so-called "language market". There are language producers and consumers, as well as capital, value, profit and regulation laws. The speaker can seek the maximum expected language profit under the regulation of the language market rules.

This is a study of speaking as political economy. Once you understand it, you will definitely kill all directions and become the king of all things...the king of mouths!

"Dingling!"

A ringtone rang and the English test ended.

One after another, candidates came out, either depressed, excited, and had mutual questions that they knew.

When Song Weiyang saw Lin Zhuoyun coming, he immediately put away "Language and Symbol Power" and asked with a smile: "How is the exam?"

"It's not bad. I've always been very good at English," said Lin Zhuoyun. "It's just that mathematics is a bit difficult. After half a year of review, I barely returned to my level when I was in college."

"You can definitely pass," Song Weiyang encouraged.

Lin Zhuoyun said worriedly: "I know one of the invigilator this time."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "It's better to meet an acquaintance."

"I guess my dad will know in a few days." Lin Zhuoyun said.

After Lin Zhuoyun resigned, her work relationship was no longer in Fudan. If she wanted to apply for a postgraduate entrance examination in Shenghai, the procedures were relatively complicated, so she simply returned to Xikang Province to register for the exam.

Until now, Lin Zhuoyun's father still doesn't know that she has resigned...

What should come will always come.

When Lin Zhuoyun took the last subject, the old man appeared and ran into Song Weiyang on campus.

"Why are you here too?" the old man said in surprise.

Song Weiyang greeted with a smile: "Hello uncle."

The old man said: "You are very famous recently. You are on TV and published books. I have read your book and written it well."

"It's not worth mentioning. Compared with an old professor like my uncle, I still need to continue to study hard." Song Weiyang unknowingly used the "condescending strategy" to coax the other party first. To put it bluntly, it is to belittle himself, put a high hat on the other party, and pick what the other party likes and say it.

The old man didn't even think about the relationship between men and women. He said, "You seem to be studying in Shenghai too?"

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Teacher Lin is my freshman lecturer. She doesn't like politics majors, so she quit her postgraduate entrance examination and wants to study for a graduate student in Chinese in Fudan. I happened to be on vacation, so I accompanied her over to take the exam."

"This girl, I think it's like it!" The old man was probably angry by his daughter, and his IQ temporarily dropped by several%.

"As young people, it is normal for them to have their own pursuits, and she cannot live under your wings for the rest of her life." Song Weiyang said.

The old man said: "Young people are prone to impulsiveness. How can you go to the postgraduate entrance exam if you don't do it?"

Song Weiyang said: "You can't say this, you have to consider it in the long run. Teacher Lin is just an ordinary undergraduate graduate now. Even if she continues to be a lecturer, how many years will it take to be an associate professor? Education is always a constraint! If she gets into Fudan graduate school, it will be different, and the starting point will be higher, and the teaching will develop more smoothly. This is called sharpening the knife and chopping wood. Do you think this is the reason?"

The old man did not immediately refute and already agreed with Song Weiyang's point of view. After thinking about it, he said with a stern face: "You should discuss with your elders first in life. You should not make a decision if you are angry."

"Uncle is right, Teacher Lin deserves to be criticized for this." Song Weiyang said with a smile.

The old man was actually very public. He took a cigarette and slandered his mouth and suddenly said, "I'll go to the bathroom to smoke, you can wait here."

"You go slowly." Song Weiyang shouted.

As soon as the old man disappeared, Song Weiyang immediately ran to the examination room. He was about 30 meters away from the classroom and was shouted by the staff and could not move forward any further, so he had to wait far away against the flower bed.

The papers submitted in advance have already come out. Lin Zhuoyun always fills up her time and carefully checks for mistakes and omissions.

About ten minutes later, the bell rang after the end of the exam.

Lin Zhuoyun seemed to have done a very good exam. When she saw Song Weiyang, she immediately rushed up excitedly, opened her arms and hugged him and said, "I have a clear idea of ​​performing today!"

Other candidates looked at each other, especially fresh graduates, pointing fingers at Lin Zhuoyun's bold moves.

Want to suffer!

The moment Song Weiyang was hugged by Lin Zhuoyun, he felt something was wrong and quickly pushed his girlfriend away.

Sure enough, the old man sneered and came out from somewhere. It was fake to go to the bathroom to smoke, and it was true to hide in the dark to observe the situation, but he caught him right.

"Dad, why are you here?" Lin Zhuoyun said in surprise.

Song Weiyang smiled wryly and said, "I went to the teaching building to wait for you, just to remind you, who knows that you would hug me without saying a word."

"What a big deal, just know," Lin Zhuoyun introduced, "Dad, this is my boyfriend Song Weiyang."
