Chapter 257 Four Options
“Where should I choose to go?”
Du Chensheng lay on the bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep.
Du Chensheng is seventeen years old this year. He is from Muxia Village, Yong'an County, Huizhou City. He has a father and mother, a brother and a younger brother, and a younger sister who has just turned one year old.
The People's Army raised the flag and occupied Yong'an County and Haifeng County first. It divided the land for the people here. It also sent personnel to establish schools in various areas and recruited boys of appropriate age to study in the school. The fourteen-year-old Du Chensheng was just right at the age of time, so he entered the school to read and read with a very young teacher.
In a blink of an eye, three years are about to pass, and Du Chensheng will graduate in two months.
Study and learn to read in the school established by the People's Army, and after graduation, you must obey the arrangements of the People's Army. Du Chensheng also thought of joining the army or becoming an official in the government. Today, Du Chensheng's teacher officially asked the students to choose where to go.
The teacher gave four choices: join the army, become an official in the government, be a teacher to teach students, and continue to study in the newly established university.
Instead of letting the students make a choice immediately, the teacher gave three days to think about which one they wanted to choose.
Du Chensheng wanted to join the army very much, leading the soldiers to defeat the Ming army, overthrow the Ming court, and make achievements, but Du Chensheng was a little scared of the battlefield. Fighting would kill people, and his courage was not enough.
On this night, there were many students who were about to graduate in Huizhou City who were like Du Chensheng who couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Three days are not long, which is enough for students to think about where the students go. The teachers who have been teaching them for almost three years have already had some ideas in their minds. After that, they will talk to the students and finally decide where the students go.
Joining the army, becoming an official in the government, teaching students as teachers, and continuing to study in the newly established university, these are the four places for students.
Joining the army means participating in the People's Army. As a three-year education graduate, you need to conduct three months of recruit training after joining the People's Army, and then go to the regiment headquarters or division headquarters for three to six months. After the internship, you can become a regular employee and be assigned to various places according to the internship scores.
You can serve as the lowest platoon leader and the highest company commander, you can serve as a staff officer in the General Staff Department, or you can serve in the Logistics Department.
When you enter the government and become an official, you will have to have an internship period of at least three months at the beginning. After becoming a regular employee, you will be assigned to various places, and may even be assigned to the People's Chamber of Commerce. The People's Chamber of Commerce is also part of the People's Military Government.
When teachers teach students, the People's Military Government has established at least 800 primary schools in various places under its rule. Some have been completed and some are under construction and will be put into use in February next year. Graduates from three-year education will go to primary schools in various places to teach.
The teaching time for teachers is at least three years. After the first three years, they can have a choice. If they take the university exam and pass the score, they can enter university. Even if they continue to be in the teacher position, they can be promoted to become government officials in the future.
As for studying in college, it means learning more knowledge. Students are still studying in college. However, college students have subsidies and don’t need to spend their family money. They can continue to save money by themselves. If you participate in any research, you can still get a bonus.
But colleges do not mean to go in as soon as they go in. Anyone who wants to continue studying in colleges has to take an exam. Only after passing the exam can they enter. Colleges are more places to study and only scientific research are possible. It is impossible to have students with poor academic performance.
Regarding these four options, teachers will explain it to the students clearly. Regardless of whether the students have made a decision or not, the teachers will communicate with the students one by one.
For example, if this student likes physical education classes, the teacher will recommend him to join the army. If the student does not like to join the army, the teacher will not force the student. In the end, the students will make their own decisions. The teacher's words are just for the students to refer to.
For students with good academic performance, the teacher will recommend them to register for the university exam and continue to study. After teaching, the students will continue to serve as teachers in the university.
In fact, the teacher's knowledge level has not been avoided. In the past three years, they have just read books and studied by themselves. At most, they have gathered together with their classmates during holidays, or tried to find their own teachers or their classmates to ask for knowledge.
They are just junior teachers and senior teachers when they go to college. When they encounter something they don’t understand, they can ask the senior teachers for advice.
Basically, junior teachers can be regarded as counselors. The counselors can be seniors of students at a higher level, senior teachers are professors, and real people who teach literature. Junior teachers go to college to teach students while continuing to study.
...
As the new day comes, Du Chensheng comes to school for class, and the teacher calls Du Chensheng over during the break.
"Du Chensheng, where do you want to go?" the teacher asked.
Du Chensheng thought for a while and said, "Teacher, I want to join the People's Army the most and lead troops to fight to overthrow the hateful Ming court, but I feel a little afraid of going to the battlefield. Teacher, am I very cowardly?"
Du Chensheng's words were filled with a hint of crying, and he was ashamed and angry at his cowardice.
Hearing Du Chensheng's words, the teacher shook his head and said, "People are afraid. This is not a manifestation of cowardice. When the teacher faced a choice, he was also afraid of going to the battlefield. In the end, he chose to become a teacher and teach you.
There is no distinction between the four choices. Joining the People's Army is to contribute to the People's Army. Being a teacher and teaching students is also to contribute to the People's Army. Those with courage can join the army. Without the courage to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they can also be teachers and officials."
The teacher's words made Du Chen feel better. He thought about it again and quickly made a decision.
"Teacher, I decided that I want to be a teacher like you and teach many students."
"Being a teacher is a good choice, but don't worry, your school grades can rank among the top three in the class. I like to learn a variety of knowledge. I suggest you take the college exam and there are still many new knowledge to learn in college.
For example, the muskets and cannons, as long as you have more knowledge, you can research them. You can develop better muskets, give the People's Army equipment, and help the People's Army defeat the Ming army."
The teacher's words made Du Chensheng, who had finally made a decision, start to hesitate. After hearing what the teacher said, entering university is also a very good choice.
Looking at Du Chensheng's hesitation, the teacher continued: "Don't be anxious, think slowly and choose the option that suits you the most."
"I understand, teacher."
