Don't like coffee, go to Willow Village

An article "it took me 18 years to sit with you for coffee" has struck a chord with many young people. The article is full of grievances and helplessness before drinking coffee, and magnifies the resentment and complacency after drinking coffee.

To tell you the truth, at a time when the competition for survival is extremely fierce, most of the undergraduate or graduate students who once claimed to be the "beloved of heaven" have no sense of superiority when looking for a job, not to mention finding a good job. I can't even find a living job. Even if you find a job, there will be more work and less money, and there will be no guarantee for the future. "grabbing rice bowls can't beat migrant workers" has become the sadness of a generation of students.

Is the reality really that cruel and heavy? In March, Yu Dan talked about her first job, but she deciphered the true meaning of another life for people.

After graduating from graduate school in 1989, Yu Dan was assigned to work in a subordinate unit of the Ministry of Culture, and his major was very corresponding, which was certainly good. But there was a rule at that time: new employees had to go to the grass-roots level to undergo training. So Yu Dan and several contemporaries came to a place called Liu Village and came to the printing factory where the unit was set up. Moreover, as a result, no one knows how long to exercise.

Liu Village is a place that only recognizes strength but does not recognize face, "equality" so that you can do nothing about it. Whether you are a graduate student or a junior high school student, with a thick waist or tender hands, you have to swing paper and ink when you go to work, and pick up confetti and oil after work. Here, Yu Dan as long as the effort, no need to use the brain, the head in the book is reasonable, all become "floating clouds".

Yu Dan was born petite and could not mop a thick mop, so he had to take a rag, kneel on the ground and wipe the oil all over the ground little by little. Sweating is nothing. Yu Dan can't hide even if he bleeds. At that time, the most difficult thing about the printing shop was to "break through": a large pile of white paper, "Wow", erect; "Wow", put flat, the paper was flush between takeoffs and landings, but there were numerous scars on the girl's delicate hands. The most pitiful is Yu Dan's opposite girl, ten slender fingers playing the piano, touching the black and white keys for more than a decade, but those years are just like Yu Dan, scratched with flesh and blood every day with the same blade of paper!

The days are monotonous and repetitive, boring and hopeless. But one day, the factory director threw a thick manuscript to the workshop director and said, "proofreading is urgent, five times the reward." The workshop director looked at it and said, "Ah?" Where can we get such a difficult ancient medical prose? No school. " Yu Dan took the manuscript that the director left behind and said, "Let's try and see if we can correct it." Then, when she studied pre-Qin literature, she invited a boy who graduated with a master's degree from Peking University and another girl who majored in classical literature from Peking University. the three of them gave the ancient medical book to the school in a small attic full of paper.

Since then, the situation of young people like Yu Dan has taken a turn for the better, and the factory began to take a fresh look at them. Especially Yu Dan, during this period, she and several classmates co-wrote a "Oriental Leisure". Her chapter is called "Hongqu Book", which deals with Kunqu Opera. Because she seldom complained about the bitter meat battle, she calmly devoted her spare time to reading. After staying there for more than two years, she was admitted to the doctorate again.

Today, Yu Dan has become famous in the "hundred pulpit", and her literary attainments are household names. But she said: "Liu Village's time made my life full." In a person's life, enduring hardship is nothing, and a low salary is not a big deal. I even think that when I was young, everyone had to go to their own willow village, so that life would have accumulation and there would be no defects. "

Compared with Yu Dan's no choice at that time, the choice of this era seems to be everywhere, all the time, and choose to drink coffee or choose to go to Liu Village, has become a kind of workplace wisdom and life strategy, my experience is, do not like coffee, go to Liu Village. Because, people who have been to Liu Village will feel more fragrant when drinking coffee; what's more, if young people in adversity always want to drink coffee like others, or even exaggerate the pain of life, it will only disturb the mood and accidentally injure the good years of youth.
