Zhang Xuefeng once said a very heartfelt truth:

"The police station has people, their children are all attending police academy;
Hospitals have people, their children are all studying medicine;
Courts have people, their children are all learning law;
The power supply bureau's children study electricity, the water conservancy bureau's children study engineering."
Hu Shi once said:
"To harvest, you must first plant."
But the problem is,
Some people already know what to plant,
Some people don't even know where the land is.

Parents have been struggling in their own industries for twenty or thirty years,
They understand the ins and outs very well,
They know the advantages and disadvantages of the industry,
So their children are less likely to go astray.
Our children from rural areas take college entrance exams without money or connections,
Relying on luck and courage, taking one step at a time.

Children of farmers are either screwing in factories or repairing cars,
"Knowledge is power" can change destiny,
But many people don't know what "knowledge" is,
They think that learning middle school math and science is "knowledge,"
But that's just a tool for learning.
Parents must have foresight,
If the method is wrong, effort is wasted,
Find good teachers, and children can save a lot of worry.

A junior who comes from a rural background,
Works at a state-owned enterprise,
Recently complained to me that he worked hard to get into Tongji University,
And after graduation, he found that some people in his department
Graduated from third-tier colleges like Fujian Jiangxia University,
Undoubtedly, these people are connected.
So, the junior feels his years of studying were wasted.
I comforted him, saying,
People who get into such state-owned enterprises from third-tier colleges
Are supported by family influence behind the scenes,
Maybe their parents are more hardworking and better than yours,
And now, by working hard, you are trying to catch up with them,
Reducing the gap left by your ancestors.
If you hadn't studied hard back then and also gone to a third-tier college,
You wouldn't have a chance to enter such a state-owned enterprise,
The gap caused by your parents cannot be narrowed.

Why do generations need to strive?
Others have worked hard for three generations,
Why should you think your effort in one generation can surpass theirs?
So, your current effort is for yourself, and also for your children!
