Chapter 22 The Replaced College Student
In the early morning of August 1984, in a cave in Gaojia Village, Kuanzhou County, northern Shaanxi.
He lay on the kang, the memories of his previous world slowly hiding deep in his mind. He felt full of strength all over his body, and the benefits brought by the increased physical fitness were indeed obvious.
At the same time, Lu Hao's knowledge as a 985 PhD and his many years of experience working in the central government agencies have been deeply engraved in his mind and can be used at any time.
The new information became clear, and my identity in this world emerged in my mind.
Gao Jialin, 18 years old this year, is the only son of a poor family in Gaojia Village and a famous scholar in Kuanzhou County. He took the college entrance examination in early July this year with the first place in the county's preliminary examination, but unexpectedly failed.
However, Gao Shuangxing, the son of the village party secretary, was admitted to Shanghai Pujiang University and became the first college student in the history of Gaojia Village. Gao Jialin was unable to accept this reality for a while and has been staying at home these days, unwilling to go out and see people.
After a moment of relaxation, he adjusted to his new identity. It turned out that this time he traveled to the world of the TV series "The Road of Life" and became the protagonist Gao Jialin.
This TV series partially adapted the characters and background of Lu Yao's classic work "Life", and made major modifications. It tells the story of Gao Jialin, who passed the college entrance examination but was replaced by Gao Shuangxing, the child of the brigade secretary, which completely changed his fate.
The time point where he is now is exactly after Gao Jialin's place was replaced. The day before yesterday, the brigade secretary Gao Minglou held a banquet in the village to celebrate the admission of his own child Gao Shuangxing to Shanghai Pujiang University.
Yesterday, Gao Shuangxing came to Gao Jialin's house again to comfort him and gave him an opportunity to become a private teacher.
The original Gao Jialin would only thank Gao Shuangxing and his son, but the current Gao Jialin knows that Gao Minglou did this not out of good intentions, but to cover up the fact that Gao Shuangxing replaced Gao Jialin to go to college.
Because it was Gao Jialin instead of Gao Shuangxing who was admitted to the university, the postman had already delivered the admission notice to Gaojia Village, but it was intercepted by Gao Minglou, who then colluded with Ma Zhansheng, the section chief of the County Education Bureau, to make connections and let Gao Shuangxing replace Gao Jialin's identity to go to university in Shanghai.
So now Gao Jialin's identity has been taken by Gao Shuangxing. If Gao Jialin chooses to repeat his studies and take the college entrance examination next year, he will definitely be admitted with his academic performance.
Then when he gets the admission letter and goes to the county to handle the relevant procedures, he will find that his household registration had been moved to Shanghai Pujiang College last year. In this way, the fact that he was replaced by Gao Shuangxing will be immediately exposed.
Gao Minglou could not accept such a thing, so he used his connections to get a position as a private teacher, hoping to tempt Gao Jialin and make him give up his plan to repeat his senior year.
In the TV series, Gao Jialin didn't know all this, because although he ranked first in the county's preliminary exam, he was unlucky. The mathematics paper in the 1984 college entrance examination was the most difficult in history. Even if the time was moved to the future, only the 2003 National Science Mathematics College Entrance Examination and the 2008 Jiangsu Mathematics College Entrance Examination could be compared with it.
The math paper was so difficult that Gao Jialin's self-confidence was severely hit, so he did not go to the county to check his answers and calculate his scores. The scores he calculated on his own would definitely have errors, and it was these errors that made him have no doubts about his failure in the college entrance examination.
He did not question why he failed the pre-exam, but Gao Shuangxing, who ranked 25th in the county, did. Gao Jialin was so upset at that time that he had no time to think about it. What a poor guy, Gao Jialin sighed in his heart. He did not want to take the exam again for another year, so the most important thing now was to quickly expose the fact that Gao Shuangxing replaced his university quota and take back his own chance.
However, this matter is by no means that simple to handle. You can't just go to the county town and make a scene to resolve it. Gao Jialin thought about what happened before and after the incident and deduced a lot of content that was not explicitly stated in the TV series.
There were actually quite a lot of cases of people being replaced in college during this period, but most of them were not forced to go like him, but both parties were aware of it.
This is related to the current college entrance examination model. Today's candidates must first take the preliminary examination in May, and only those who pass the preliminary examination are eligible to take the formal college entrance examination in early July.
The passing rate of the preliminary examination varies every year. In 1980, only about 40% of students were qualified to take the college entrance examination; in 1981, the passing rate of the preliminary examination was about 60%; 1987 was the worst, with only one-third of the candidates passing the preliminary examination.
It should be noted that the pre-examination passing score for fresh graduates and repeaters is different, and that for fresh graduates is lower. This creates a problem: some repeaters' regular scores are lower than the passing score for repeaters, but higher than the passing score for fresh graduates.
So some smart parents found a candidate who had poor grades and was sure to fail the pre-examination, and let their own children replace his academic record and take the college entrance examination as a current student.
Some repeaters who originally had good grades would make the same choice just to get an extra point of insurance to avoid performing poorly in the pre-examination.
Some schools will even actively persuade students to cooperate because they also have the pressure of assessing the admissions of new students.
There was once a big news in Jiangsu Province where thousands of people were found to have replaced others in the college entrance examination, and most of the people involved had this reason.
This method of substitution is relatively simple to operate. Both parties exchanged their identities before taking the preliminary examination. It is much more difficult to replace Gao Jialin after he received the notification letter! In the TV series, only a few scenes flashed. Gao Minglou hurried into the city with the notification letter to find Ma Zhansheng, the section chief of the Education Bureau, who was familiar with him. Then the person who went to college changed from Gao Jialin to Gao Shuangxing.
In fact, replacing a quota is definitely not something that can be solved by just a brigade secretary and a section chief of the Education Bureau. Many departments are involved.
First of all, Kuanzhou County Middle School where Gao Jialin studied was able to get the scores before the college entrance examination admission notices were issued. They definitely knew which students had passed the line and would pay close attention to whether these students had received the notices.
No student from Kuanzhou County has been admitted to university in the past five years. As long as a student passes the admission line, they will be more excited than the student himself. Even if the student has not received the admission letter this year, they will actively visit the student to persuade him to repeat the year and take the exam again, and even waive tuition fees and provide scholarships.
In this way, when the student is admitted next year, this will still be their score. In the TV series, Kuanzhou County Middle School must have known that Gao Jialin passed the line, but they ignored him. This is enough to show that the county middle school was also dealt with by Gao Minglou.
Secondly, after receiving the admission letter, the candidates must go to the relevant departments to handle the transfer of household registration and grain and oil relations. Gao Shuangxing went to handle it with Gao Jialin's household registration booklet, and someone would definitely be suspicious.
In order to open up so many joints, the energy required is extraordinary, so there are people behind Gao Minglou and Ma Zhansheng. If you don't understand this, you will be driven back even if you go to the county.
So, who is this person?
