Xu Jin: There are Chinese dreams in China, American dreams in the United States, behind the class.Climbing up is the dream of most people, but at the moment of the wind, your encounters are very likely to be worthy of your ambitions.
Suddenly, the founder of New Oriental Yu Minhong caused many controversy.In the recent public speech, in addition to the evaluation of women to protest, he said when talking about the disadvantages of Chinese education issues, saying that the more students who finally entered the famous university, the more spiritual problems in the event of the existence, so he decided to let letHis son must study for ordinary universities.
This speech won its deserved word.However, after careful consideration, Yu Minhong intentionally unintentionally revealed a new trend, that is, for Yu Minhong's class, his child does not need to go to Peking University.However, like the soft class, which is unable to resist the decline of the class, he has to let the child start fighting from the prenatal education.
Soft -class society: rising weakness
The evolution of Yu Minhong's own two generations has practiced the migration from rural to first -tier cities, from poverty to billionaires. This has many stories in the past, but the possibility of the future is getting lower and lower.
2018 is the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up.In the past thirty years, almost all the people have experienced the process of collecting from collective poverty to poverty alleviation (or wealthy).The change of this process is difficult to describe with a conventional class jumping. It is more accurate to stir class. The success of ordinary people is mostly personal struggle in the context of the times.Position factor.
In any case, the past wealth -making effect of Chinese society is significant, and many rich people start.According to the UBS report, as of 2017, there were a total of 373 billionaires in China, of which 97%of them started from scratch. In 2017, 106 new Jinfu Hao, which means that China was born average two billionaires per week.The global growth rate is the fastest, and compared with the global rich, the growth rate of wealth in the Chinese rich is also higher.Not only that, the low -income class represented by migrant workers also enjoyed a rapid rise in wages, and there was a large -scale migration.
However, this is the past.With the slowdown of China's economic credit expansion and the decrease in income or asset prices, for ordinary people, it is about to usher in a soft -class era.In such a new era, the gap between the rich and the poor is still changing, but it is far from the solidification of the class. On the contrary, the social class movement has been from the era of wealth -making in the barbaric growth to the gradual stable class society. The soft class society is among them.In a middle state, most of the income levels are in the middle of the middle, and they will find that they and the next generation will not only realize the rise of the class as expected, but may continue to deteriorate.Farthers, China will gradually move closer to overseas society, and there will be a soft -class society as a transition before that.
Soft class 11 Features
Soft -class society means that individual struggles no longer decide success.Soft is weak, insecure, and anxiety. What does the soft class here mean?I discussed and exchanged with the public account Xu Jin's economic man, and summarized the preliminary characteristics of some soft classes:
1. I always feel that the income is dragging on the average income of the hind legs
2. Even if the income is good, there are little left after paying the fixed expenses of the mortgage home.
3. The workplace or entrepreneurs entered the period of exhaustion bottlenecks, but dare not admit it, and I look forward to the miracle turning
4. I am very concerned about topics such as immigration, but I am weak
5. Do not let go of the opportunity to expose the baby in the circle of friends, or the opportunity of others
6. Although the child's environment is much better than himself, it feels that raising is still similar to an unsuccessful arms competition
7. I dare not get sick and pray for the health of the elderly
8. Lack of family life, I always feel that they are either at work or on the way to work.
9. Whenever the policy changes, the stock market fluctuates, which is anxious about the accumulation of family wealth and the future.
10. I want to do some adventure, but dare not
11. If you do n’t get married, you often fear marriage and childcare, and feel that the threshold is far away.
Compared with the above table, many people feel that they have a heart.In the near future, from the level of the class, there will be an increasingly large new class.Until we are welcoming a class gradually solidify, a soft -class society will appear as an intermediate state.
Soft -class era: whether education can change destiny
There are Chinese dreams in China, American dreams in the United States, and different versions of dreams are about class.Efforts to climb up are the dreams of most people. At the moment of the wind, this may be an ideal model. At the moment of the wind, your encounter is not a probability that it does not deserve your ambition.
Whether you can get a better or considerable opportunity than your parents can be used as the main indicator of the class jump. Education is undoubtedly the mainstream way to change the fate of most people.This indicator has deteriorated in the West, but in China, it has not triggered enough understanding. Most of the middle -class children have higher starting lines than their parents, but they cannot win the same level as the same level as their parents to improve opportunities.
Regardless of intentional or unintentional, many parents in China currently yearn for the tiger dad and tiger mother but are tired of reality. Especially the middle -income class of Chinese cities runs between school district houses, Olympic, and international schools all day., Not just education, it is still a class, a social mobility.
In the past, young people in China enjoyed the greatest dividends of economic growth and the opening of society, but when they became parents, the next generation will not be so lucky. This is also the most anxious place for parents of the post -80s city after the 70s.Take a friend as an example. He is from the central province. His grandfather is a peasant, and his father is just a poor bookmaker in his mouth. He rely on his own efforts.Has a middle -class life.According to reason, his life has made great progress compared to his grandparents, but he believes that his next generation has no opportunity.He soberly realized that the opportunity of his generation was a special case. He said that when our time was bees, it was a special case.His former high school, now the number of Tsinghua University of Peking University has also become less severe, not to mention the significant decrease in the proportion of rural and county children in these higher education institutions.
For Chinese middle -income parents, even if they pour more energy on their children's education, they will eventually find that there are always some unexpected situations. Whether it is kindergarten abuse or moldy lunch news in private elementary school, they realize that they are from the soft class to the soft class.It's not so far.Compared with the mood of the middle -class parents in the military reserve competition, many entrepreneur groups I have contacted. For the education of children, most of them indicate that they do not have to be too harsh for their children's growth.It is not necessary to compete with children in the middle class.
Interestingly, in a stable society, even a Chinese society like Hong Kong, many middle -level parents will recognize that their children may not be as good as their own destiny, because there are factors such as the times and the degree of effort.Parents think that they think that children have a better starting point than themselves, and the speed of the class is higher than themselves, and the changes in socio -economic changes also give them this feeling.Benefit should also be maintained.
In the past, the class jumped into the secret magic in the hearts of China's middle -class parents. In the future, the arrival of the soft class society will gradually understand the prophets, and maintaining the class is victory.
The tide of the times has changed the direction, and most people are unwilling to go ashore and strive to continue sliding towards the wrong direction.For enterprises and individuals, everyone must survive for winter preparation, so everyone must learn new survival skills of soft class.Smart people have awareness, and ordinary people may be later conscious, but at least they must avoid ignorance.There is no lack of confused people in each era, but softThe age of the layer understands that people will avoid greater potential risks.This article only represents the author's own point of view.
