Chapter 974
“It’s not impossible. The requirements were very strict last year, so they will be much more relaxed this year. I heard that many comrades in the city have also registered despite being married and having children. I think it depends on whether there will be any concessions during the review. If it’s okay in the city, then it should be easier in the commune.”
Lin Lan pinched a chili pepper, “Teacher Lu, you seem to have something you want to say?” Could he be hinting at something?
Lu Changwei waved his hands quickly, “I wouldn’t dare to, Captain Lin, you’ve misunderstood. I just want to add that, based on my personal understanding, this kind of university would not be as strict as the regular universities in the past. To be honest, you can’t learn much in the other universities. I learned last year that the students in Beijing only stay in school for one year, which includes various activities, labor and training all at the same time. The time that was provided to actually learn something was pitifully short. To put it bluntly, the certification is just obtained as a medal. After all, there were no exams and only recommendations, which leaves no room for a unified standard of academic understanding. And without it, why else would a school accept students if not based on recommendations and connections? Haha, in the end, it’s just…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but Lin Lan understood the underlying meaning, it was just a child’s play.
She couldn’t help but look at him seriously as she didn’t expect him to have such insight. It seemed that he also had a deep understanding of the issues in society.
If one were to look into it carefully, the selection of cadres or university students by recommendation basically couldn’t possibly be entirely based on merit. In a few days, providing recommendations became a means of generating income. Even if one brigade was ‘clean’ about it, it didn’t mean others were. Plus, there were many more communes as well.
Ultimately, even if the reviewing process was strict, there were still many people who met the requirements. Why would an average Joe sign up if there was a scarcity in available seats? In addition to the advanced evaluations, there were naturally some other means to force one’s way in if they really wanted to.
Lu Changwei did not avoid her gaze and smiled, “To be honest, I know that Captain Lin might think that I have too many imaginations going on in my head. Think about it, it’s not difficult for Director Han to get a quote from the commune to recommend someone into the school. Instead of having outsiders beg for the seat, why not have our own people use it?”
Lin Lan said seriously, “Our Director Han never does such a thing.”
Lu Changwei raised his hand to apologize, “Captain Lin, don’t be angry, what I just said was just something extra entirely for your sake. You have such a strong learning ability, it’s truly a pity if you do not try to further your studies. After all…” He smiled and didn’t say anything else before he said, “Your team members are calling you.”
