(Parallel time and space, parallel world. If there are similarities, it is purely coincidental.)
Xia Country. In the 1980s.
This was an era worth remembering.
The college entrance examination system had been restored.
The spring breeze of reform and opening up had even blown across 9.6 million square kilometers of land.
Although the people of Xia Country were very poor during this period, the country was not rich either.
However, the hardworking and kind-hearted people of China were filled with enthusiasm and worked hard…
Year 1983. Summer. Su City First High School.
A middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit rode a Phoenix bicycle into the campus.
His name was Guo Jianmin, and he was a cadre. This time, he was specially sent by the Provincial Education Bureau to inspect the major middle schools in Su City.
After all, it was already summer and the college entrance examination would be held in two months.
Due to the reform and opening up, the town headquarters of Xia Country had truly opened their eyes to the world for the first time.
Only by seeing it would one understand what it meant to be "lagging behind".
Agriculture was backward, industry was backward, and commerce was backward... Other than their perseverance, diligence, and courage, the people of China were " backward " in everything else.
What was the reason for all of this?
Knowledge!
For this reason, in the early days of the reform and opening up, the intelligentsia received unprecedented respect.
The country craved all talents.
Every year, the college entrance examination was treated as the most important political event by the country.
Therefore, the special agent was here!
……
On campus.
When the principal received the news, he quickly brought a few deputy leaders to welcome them.
"Welcome, Commissioner Guo, to our school for an inspection!”
"Principal, you're too polite. I've been assigned by my superiors to come to your school to check on the preparations for the college entrance examination. Everyone knows that our country is very poor and backward. The country needs talents from all walks of life, and the college entrance examination is the main way for the country to select talents.”the special agent said seriously.
"Understood! We understand!"
The principal and the deputy leaders nodded in unison."Special agent, this way please! Please go to the office and have a cup of hot water first!"
As for tea?
Hehe, tea in this era was not so easy to afford!
"No need! Take me to the classroom to see how the students are doing!”The special agent flatly refused with an indescribable solemnity on his face.
In this era, most officials had excellent qualities.
They really set an example and served the people.
"Alright, special agent, this way please!"
"Please!"
Under the guidance of the school leaders, the special agent looked through every classroom.
Looking at the students listening attentively in class, the special agent was very satisfied.
However, just looking at the classroom was not enough to tell the truth.
"By the way, Principal, is your school's library open today?”the special agent suddenly asked.
Hearing this, the principal hurriedly nodded." Yes, it has always been open."”
"Very good, bring me there!"
"Yes, sir! Special agent, this way please!"
After saying that, the principal took the lead and led the special agent to the school library.
……
The middle school library in this period was very small, built with only two brick houses. It was far less magnificent than in the later era.
Most of the books were donated by the public.
However, although the library was small, there were many " students " who came to read the books.
When the special agent walked into the library, he realized:
On the simple benches sat many 'students'.
These students were sallow and emaciated, old and young.
The old ones were already white-haired and were about 40 to 50 years old.
As for the small one…
At this moment, among the many " students ", the special agent suddenly saw a little guy.
The little guy was very small, about one meter tall.
She was wearing a gray child's clothing with patches all over it.
He sat down on the table where he was reading.
In front of this little fellow was a thick book.
The thickness of the book was almost as big as half of the little fellow's head.
In the dense crowd of " students ", the little fellow was so eye-catching that it almost immediately attracted the special agent's attention.
Eh?
What was going on?
There was actually a child in the library of a key high school in Xia country?
Looking at his height, he was probably not even five years old yet, right?!
A child of this age probably hadn't even gone to kindergarten. Why would he come to Su City High School to study?
"Nonsense! Principal, how do you manage the school? The library is such an important place. How can you let children in? What if I break the book?" The special agent said angrily.
She lowered her voice, afraid of disturbing the " students " who were reading.
However, everyone could hear the anger in it.
Hearing this, the principal panicked and quickly explained,"Special agent, that child is the son of a cleaner in our school. His father is a martyr. Due to the death of their father, the mother and son have no one to rely on, so the town government asked us to take them in.”
Eh? Martyr?
The special agent was stunned.”
"Yes, special agent!"
As soon as these words were said, the special agent was filled with respect.
The orphan of a martyr!
"I'll go over and take a look!"
As he spoke, the special agent walked quickly towards the little guy.
The principal and the others hurriedly followed.
The arrival of the crowd did not disturb the students reading in the library, nor did they disturb the little guy sitting at the table reading.
With no one paying attention, the special agent came behind the little guy.
Until this moment.
The special agent was shocked to find that the thick book in front of the little guy was actually in English.
There was not a single Chinese character in the book.
The special agent who only had a junior high school education could not understand the words at all.
Yes, he didn't know a single word.
At this moment.
The special agent was stunned.
At this moment.
The principal and the others were also stunned.
F * ck, what was going on?
Such a small kid was actually reading a foreign book that even adults couldn't understand?？？
And looking at his serious expression, it didn't seem like he was putting on an act at all!
"Principal, what book is this?" The special agent asked in surprise.
The sound was very loud, waking the little guy who was reading.
The little fellow turned around and looked at the adults behind him, blinking its bright eyes.
It looked very cute.
Uh, people in this era didn't know what 'cute' meant.
"Uncle, this is the English version of 'A Short History of European Industry!”
A cute voice came out of the little fellow's mouth, carrying a childish taste.
However!
This short reply was like a clap of thunder, shaking everyone behind him.
Including special agents;
Including the principal;
This included the school leaders who had followed them.
Europe? A brief history of the industry? English version?
F * ck, little fellow, are you going to defy the heavens? How old are you?
"Uncle, my name is Chen An. I'm already five years old this year!”
What was that? Five? Only five…five…five years old?
Oh my god!
Mommy!
The special agent was speechless.
The principal was speechless.
The school leaders were speechless.
Everyone's brain instantly went into a state of paralysis, without exception!!!
