Yu Yin didn't know the cause of the Yunnan Provincial Educated Youth Strike, but it seemed to have happened gradually until it became uncontrollable.
The scene was huge, with tens of thousands of people reportedly participating. Some went on hunger strike, others lay down on the railway tracks, and the commotion was so great that it even caught the attention of the central government!
Before the news could be spread, the final exams arrived as scheduled, and Yu Yin and her classmates studied diligently, even to the point of exhaustion.
Academic performance is also important when it comes to job placement after graduation. Although Yu Yin did not plan to stay in the system for the rest of her life and did not know which unit she would be assigned to, she still needed to work for the first two years.
After finishing their last exam and seeing Zheng Yue off, Yu Yin and the others were finally on winter break.
Yu Yin also learned about the Yunnan Provincial Educated Youth Strike from A Xiang's letter.
Ah Xiang said, "Now the educated youth in Yunnan Province have all stopped working. They want to return to the city. They don't accept any other conditions, they don't want any work, they just want to go back to the city."
"With wave after wave of leaders coming down, the problem became more and more serious, and many educated youths got involved."
When Ah Xiang wrote the letter, the two sides were still at odds. They were going to Kyoto to demand an explanation from the central government.
They followed the Party's call to go to the countryside to build up rural areas. Now, almost ten years have passed. Why not let them go home? They want to go back to the city; they want to go home.
Yu Yin also received a letter from Yi Xian, in which she also talked about the educated youth strike.
She said, "The situation has become serious. The representatives of the educated youth want to go to Beijing, but the central government has different opinions, and the matter is at a standstill. The educated youth do not accept the central government's policies, and they only have one request: to return to the city."
It's still unknown how the situation will develop.
Yu Yin only knew the outcome: starting early next year, a large number of educated youth would apply to return to the city, leading to a shortage of jobs, an increase in unemployed people, and a rise in some unstable factors.
No matter what, the wheels of history will not stop turning; what is meant to happen will happen.
