One morning after New Year's Day in 1978, Fan Yanping's excited voice suddenly sounded from the loudspeaker in Yuanping Village: "Comrades taking the college entrance examination, pay attention...Comrades taking the college entrance examination, pay attention!"

Comrades whose names are read below, please go to the brigade headquarters immediately to receive your physical examination notice:

Zhou Haiyang, Li Yuejin, Shen Yanhong, Guo Mingyi, Liu Weiqiang, Xu Kemin, Fan Jianye, Huang Jinmu, Cheng Yixin, Wang Na..."

The news that came over the radio at the brigade headquarters was like a depth bomb. Everyone in Yuanping Village was stunned! They were excited! They were boiling!

Regardless of whether their names were read or not, the eyes of all those who signed up to take the college entrance examination suddenly lit up.

Everyone dropped what they were doing and ran towards the brigade headquarters.

The college entrance examination in 1977 adopted a voluntary registration model. First, fill in the application form, and then take the cultural courses.

After the college entrance examination is over, each college will review the candidates' college entrance examination scores and filled-in applications.

Once they pass the review, candidates will be notified to go to the designated place for a physical examination.

In other words, as long as a candidate receives a physical examination notice, it means that his cultural class level has reached the admission score of the school.

As long as you pass the physical examination and pass the political examination, it is equivalent to being admitted to university.

Normally, as long as there are no major physical disabilities and there are no major problems in personal performance, you can basically be regarded as a quasi-college student at the moment you receive the notification of the physical examination.

Fan Yanpingyuan thought that for a small mountain village like Yuanping Village, being able to pass seven or eight exams would be the limit.

However, when he received the notice from the commune, he was not only stunned! He was also completely dumbfounded!

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated this village over the years.

…

For a time, the release of the college entrance examination results aroused heated discussion throughout Yuanping Village.

Some people are happy for the members and educated youth who received the medical examination notices.

Some people also feel sorry and worried for the educated youth who did not receive the notice.

Of course, there are also people who make sarcastic remarks.

But no matter what, there were so many prospective college students in the village all of a sudden, and everyone was still very happy, even excited!

You know, in the past ten years, although the county has recommended places to attend the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University every year, none of them have been allocated to the Yuanping Brigade.

Even if we look at the entire Tianyuan Commune, there are only two indicators within a ten-year period.

One of them was given to the son of the former director of the Tianyuan Commune Revolutionary Committee, and the other was given to the son of a production captain of the Nantong Brigade.

Just because there was a worker, peasant, and soldier college student in the village, the members of the Nantong Brigade were full of pride every time they talked about it.

The tone of speaking is more than three decibels higher than that of people in other villages.

Now, there are nearly twenty prospective college students in the village of Yuanping Brigade. I heard that as long as they are in good health and can pass the political review, they can go to college in the city.

After these people graduate from college, not only do they not have to do farm work, but the state also provides them with distribution.

There is also monthly salary and living allowance, which makes people in the village drool with envy just thinking about it.

While they were happy for the prospective college students, the village members immediately felt their faces light up as soon as they mentioned this!

Compared to those who simply watch the excitement, some people in the village have their own ideas about these prospective college students.

Those whose families had men and women of suitable age who were not yet married, went to the matchmaker in the village and asked the matchmaker to go to the Genpei Educated Youth Center to find a suitable partner for their children.

If you can catch the eyes of those prospective college students, it doesn't matter if they give you money or dowry.

If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter for those failed students who didn't get the physical examination notice.

No one is stupid. With the resumption of the college entrance examination, the identities of these educated youths have completely changed.

In addition, these people already have a good cultural background. Even if they don't get into the list this time, they may pass the college entrance examination next time.

Once your uncle or daughter-in-law passes the exam, the whole family will benefit from it.

Suddenly, the educated youths in the village once again became a rare commodity!

The educated youth spot is suddenly crowded with people, and the threshold is almost smoothed.

…

One week later, eleven people including Zhou Haiyang, an educated youth from the Yuanping Brigade, and eight people including Fan Jianye, a returning youth, and Huang Jinmu, received their university admission notices.

Except for Zhou Haiyang, who still spends time in the bamboo factory every day, most of the educated youths who received their admission notices have no intention of going to work.

Everyone was busy packing their things, as if they were ready to end their queue-jumping life at any time.

Although most of the new students register after the Spring Festival, everyone wants to leave early and go home to see their parents first before going to school.

For a time, the entire Yuanping Village was in a state of excitement!

What Fan Yanping didn't expect was that the Yuanping brigade had the largest number of students admitted to the college entrance examination in Yongfeng County. This made him so happy that he couldn't close his eyes for days and nights.

Therefore, he did not stop the educated youth who wanted to leave early after entering college. He cooperated as much as possible and issued certificates to all of them to let them leave.

According to regulations, any educated youth who wants to leave the place where they jumped in the queue for any reason must issue a certificate from the production team and the commune.

This shows that you ended your queue-jumping life normally, rather than fleeing back to the city after being unable to endure the hardship.

This is very important for educated youth to continue their studies and arrange their jobs in the future.

Compared with the educated youth who are about to leave, the scenes in the homes of the young members of the village who have gone to college are completely different.

Almost every household has a celebration. Although we are not able to set up a flowing banquet, we can always set up a few tables and invite relatives and friends to have a meal.

…

Next, Liu Yan, Fan Lili, Pei Xiaohong, Tan Yuanyuan, Yuan Shanshan, Li Xiaoming and Lin Junping in Yongfeng County also received physical examination notices and university admission notices.

If these educated youths who left Yuanping are included, the Yuanping brigade is the production brigade with the largest number of students admitted to the college entrance examination in Jiangning Province.

For this reason, Secretary Guo and Director Lin of Tianyuan Commune were too excited to sleep for several nights.

What surprised everyone even more was that Liu Yan and Fan Lili actually won the first place in the liberal arts college entrance examination in Jiangning Province in 1977 and were admitted to the Department of Economics of Yenching University.

Pei Xiaohong won the first place in science in the Jiangning Province College Entrance Examination in 1977 and was admitted to the Department of Physics of Qinhua University.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Haiyang, who was usually very poor at Chinese, actually won the second place in the liberal arts in the Jiangning Provincial College Entrance Examination and was admitted to the Department of Political Science of Qinhua University.

In 1977, out of 5.7 million candidates in China, 273,000 were admitted, with an admission rate of 4.8%.

The number of students admitted to the college entrance examination in Yongfeng County reached 54, and the admission rate reached 11%.

The college entrance examination in 1977 not only became the only life-saving straw for many educated young people who came to the mountains and countryside with problematic family backgrounds.

The turning point of history and the awakening of the nation have also brought hope to everyone in despair.

Since then, it has also revitalized the country and the nation and brought hope for life.

…

At this moment, Liu Yan, who had been reborn for eighteen months, stood in front of the window of the office of the County Party Committee Building.

Looking at the flow of people coming off work in the county party committee compound and those people happily holding admission notices in their hands, I thought to myself:

Sometimes in a person's life, his destiny changes due to an accidental factor. From this, he gains unexpected experiences, experiences and gains.

Although everyone has different backgrounds and environments in which they grew up, during those days, they all learned how to face every ups and downs, hardships, wind and rain in life, learned to correct their mentality, and faced reality bravely.

And never give up in pursuit of...

All of this should be attributed to those wasted years and the desert smoke and dust during the adverse journey of life.

Thanks to the ups and downs of life, every young educated youth becomes stronger despite setbacks and failures.

Of course, we should also thank those who have "hurt" ourselves. It is they who have given us courage and strong will, allowing us to never be resigned to mediocrity and to continue to improve and make progress.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan couldn't help but pick up the phone on his desk and dialed Lao Xu from the County Educated Youth Office.

"Old Xu, I am Liu Yan."

"Secretary Liu, is it you?! Do you have a problem with me?" Lao Xu said flattered on the other end of the phone.

"Lao Xu, please call me Xiao Liu! Are you free after get off work tonight? Let's sit down..."

"Liu, Xiao, hey! I'd better call you Secretary Liu. I have time! I have time! I'm always at your call."

"Okay! Come to my house and let's talk about old times..."

"Reminiscing... reminiscing about old times?"

"Have you forgotten, Lao Xu? I came to you in 1975 to apply for fake medical leave..."

"This, do you still remember this?"

"I will never forget it in this lifetime!"

…
