Volume 199 [Amorous Love Exposure]
February 4, 1996, Lichun.
Rongcheng.
It has been two months and eight days since "The Future Belongs to China" was published, and the sales volume is close to 1.2 million copies. Not only domestic and foreign media came to interview, booksellers in major cities also actively contacted, wanting to hold an on-site signing event for Song Weiyang. As for the school, 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 annoyed that he accompanied his girlfriend back to Rongcheng for the postgraduate entrance examination as soon as the final exam was over.
The five authors of "China Can Say No" are just the opposite. Media interviews are always available, and book signings are held every week. The funniest thing was that at the book signing in Beijing, because they were out of stock in the middle, Xinhua Bookstore actually called in a bunch of pirated copies to sell to readers, and then asked the original author to sign on them.
Before the outbreak of SARS, the postgraduate entrance examination time was not fixed, usually at the end of January, and often at the beginning of February. This adds a bit of hardship to the graduate students, because often around the Spring Festival, the Chinese New Year is not comfortable!
Take 1992 as an example, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, even before the Lantern Festival, students walked into the examination room one by one.
This year is not bad, and I can just go home for the new year after the postgraduate entrance examination.
The test center was not closed yet, Song Weiyang was sitting on the campus, reading a book leisurely. By the time Lin Zhuoyun finished the English test, he had already read a quarter of the book "Language and Symbolic 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 include factors related to the social space and location of the two parties in the exchange, such as gender, education, class, location, and so on.
Language communication is unequal!
First of all, the government monopolizes the legalized language and strengthens the status of the official language through education. In daily life, bosses have language power over subordinates, parents over children, intellectuals over ordinary people, and so on. At the same time, it can also be reversed. For example, when a candidate makes a canvassing speech, he deliberately speaks the local dialect to please voters. This is called a "condescension strategy." "Condescension strategy" can well deny and cover up the truth of language violence, strengthen the effect of misrecognition, and thus strengthen the effect of language symbol violence.
Song Weiyang pays more attention to the "language exchange economics" of this book. In the process of language exchange, there is also a so-called "language market". There are language producers and consumers, as well as capital, value, profit and Regulatory law. The speaker can seek the maximum expected language profit under the regulation of the language market.
This fucking is studying speech as a political economy, once mastered, it will definitely kill the world, and become the invincible... the king of talking!
"Jingle Bell!"
A bell rang, and the English test was over.
Candidates came out one after another, either frustrated, excited, or acquainted with each other.
Song Weiyang saw Lin Zhuoyun approaching, immediately put away "Language and Symbolic Power", and asked with a smile, "How was the test?"
"It's not bad. I've always been good at English," Lin Zhuoyun said. "It's just that the math is a bit difficult. After half a year of reviewing, I barely recovered the level I was in college."
"You can definitely pass." Song Weiyang encouraged.
Lin Zhuoyun worried: "I know one of the invigilators this time."
Song Weiyang smiled and said, "It's better to meet acquaintances."
"I guess my dad will find out in a few days." Lin Zhuoyun said.
After Lin Zhuoyun resigned, her work relationship was no longer in Fudan University. If she wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination at Shengbao, the procedures would be relatively cumbersome, so she simply returned to Xikang Province to sign up for the examination.
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 bumped into Song Weiyang on campus.
"Why are you here?" the old man asked in surprise.
Song Weiyang greeted with a smile: "Hello, Uncle."
The old man said: "You are very famous recently, and you have appeared on TV and published books. I have read your book, and it is not bad."
"It's not worth mentioning. Compared with an old professor like my uncle, I still need to continue to study hard." Song Weiyang has unconsciously used the "condescension strategy" to coax the other party first. To put it bluntly, it is to dwarf yourself, put a high hat on the other party, and choose what the other party likes to say.
The old man didn't think about the relationship between men and women, he said: "You seem to be studying in Shenghai too?"
Song Weiyang said with a smile: "Ms. Lin is my freshman lecturer. She doesn't like politics, so she resigned for the postgraduate entrance examination and wants to study as a graduate student in the Chinese Department of Fudan University. I just happened to be on vacation, so I dropped by to accompany her to take the exam."
"This girl, think about it as soon as you think about it!" The old man was probably mad by his daughter, and his IQ dropped by several percent temporarily.
"Young people, it's normal to have your own pursuits, and she can't live under your wings forever." Song Weiyang said.
The old man said: "Young people are easily impulsive. How can there be a lecturer who doesn't do it and goes to graduate school?"
Song Weiyang said: "You can't talk like this, you have to think about it in the long run. Teacher Lin is just an undergraduate who graduated from an ordinary key point. Even if she continues to be a lecturer, how many years will she have to wait before she can be rated as an associate professor? Education is always a constraint! If she takes the exam It’s different for postgraduates who go to Fudan University, they will have a higher starting point, and then they will develop more smoothly when teaching. This is called sharpening the knife and chopping firewood. Do you think this is the truth?”
The old man didn't refute immediately, and already agreed with Song Weiyang's point of view. After thinking about it, he said with a stern face: "For important matters in life, you should discuss it with your elders first, and you can't make decisions in a hurry."
"Uncle is right. Teacher Lin should be criticized for this." Song Weiyang laughed.
The old man was actually very civic, he put a cigarette in his mouth, and suddenly said: "I'm going to the toilet to smoke, you can wait here."
"Go slowly." Song Weiyang shouted.
As soon as the old man disappeared, Song Weiyang immediately ran to the examination room. About 30 meters away from the classroom, he was stopped by the staff and could not go any further, so he had to wait by the flower bed.
The papers submitted in advance have already come out, and Lin Zhuoyun fills up the time every time, carefully checking for mistakes and omissions repeatedly.
About ten minutes later, the bell rang for the end of the exam.
Lin Zhuoyun seemed to have done very well in the exam. When she saw Song Weiyang, she rushed up excitedly, hugged him with open arms and said, "I performed exceptionally well today, I have confidence in myself!"
Other examinees looked sideways, especially fresh graduates, pointing fingers at Lin Zhuoyun's bold move.
To suffer!
The moment Song Weiyang was hugged by Lin Zhuoyun, he felt bad and quickly pushed his girlfriend away.
Sure enough, the old man sneered and appeared out of nowhere. It was fake that he went to the toilet to smoke, but it was true that he hid in the dark to observe the situation, but he was caught.
"Dad, why are you here?" Lin Zhuoyun asked in surprise.
Song Weiyang smiled wryly and said, "I ran to the teaching building to wait for you, just to remind you, who knew that you would hug me without saying a word."
"What's the big deal, if you know it, you will know it," Lin Zhuoyun introduced, "Dad, this is my boyfriend Song Weiyang."
The old man's emotions were very complicated. After all, he didn't explode on the spot. He nodded and said, "Go home for dinner!" He pointed at Song Weiyang again, "You too."
