What can I tell you after reading the story of old Pique and young Pique?

Many times, you will see many poor people like me, but what I want to say is that I am poor, not because I don't work hard. It's that I can't choose your circle and link at all. Similarly, you will see many rich people. They look so effortless because they don't need to work hard at all.

1. Tell two stories first.

During the reign of Emperor Jinhui, there was a famine one year, and the people had no food to eat, so they had to dig up grass roots to eat Guanyin soil, and many people starved to death. The news was quickly reported to the palace, and Emperor Jinhui was greatly puzzled after sitting on a high throne and listening to the minister's report.

The "kind" Jin Huidi really wants to do something for his people. After thinking hard, he finally realized a "solution": "People have no millet to satisfy their hunger, so why don't they eat minced meat?"

Before the abolition of black slaves in the United States, white slave owners in plantations in the southern United States especially liked to list a black model, saying that he worked hard and worked hard, so he got more food and wages every month.

For those who can't eat and are dissatisfied with the slave owners, criticize them for not working hard and not being able to support their families because they don't work hard enough.

Of these two stories, the former is stupid and the latter is terrible. The question of "why not abolish subsidies and welfare for the poor to encourage them to make progress" is both stupid and bad for the former.

It not only attributes the poverty of the poor to not working hard, not making progress, and culpable of punishment, but also thinks that as long as the subsidies for the poor are abolished, the poor will make progress and work hard, and the efficiency of the whole society will be improved.

I think they probably think they are slave owners.

Nowadays, many college graduates like to flaunt their pain. For example, I get up at seven o'clock in the morning to go to work and go home at ten o'clock in the evening. For example, I made a whole drawer for my postgraduate notes, took a seat in the library early in the morning, and turned over the pages of the real problem set, swish, swish.

However, when they are sleepy, they can rest in their office chairs. When they are hungry, they can go to the school cafeteria for a meal and then come back to work. They are doing things related to books in air-conditioned rooms with suitable temperature, in front of desks and computers.

This is called hard work. Is this pain?

When the assembly line staff of Foxconn in Taiyuan are busy, they have to process 900 products per hour, and the average processing time of each product cannot exceed 4 seconds. During the working hours of more than ten hours, they have to stand there every second to do mechanical and repetitive work.

Many employees admit that "it feels like a walking corpse."

However, they will not leave, because they know that Foxconn is McKinsey in the assembly line factory. Without it, they will never find a better work unit. Foxconn security guards, who are dozens of meters apart, often look at them with envy and say that they want to be workers, but they can only be security guards because they have made too many mistakes.

In 20 12 years, if an ordinary Foxconn worker only works 10 hours a day, then his salary is 1800 yuan. So they work more than 60 hours a week on average.

The wages of workers in Datong Black Coal Mine are slightly higher. I go down to pull coal before dawn at 6 o'clock every day until I can't do it at night.

A worker can get about 100 yuan a day by transporting dozens of kilograms of coal from seven or eight hundred meters underground, which is roughly equivalent to the salary of an intern who does nothing.

In addition to the hard working environment, workers have to face risks such as mine collapse, boss's unpaid wages, and their own health. Even so, when asked whether it was hard, the worker surnamed Chen from rural Sichuan still said this:

"Here is better than my hometown 10 times. Working here for one year is comparable to working in my hometown for six years. "

Sherpas at the foot of Mount Everest provide guide services for climbers from all over the world. They carry luggage for climbers and build a wall for employers to pass through when they encounter dangerous and insurmountable obstacles.

In this way, they can earn 4000 dollars a year. Many Sherpas died on the way to Mount Everest for less than 40,000 yuan.

"My friends and brothers are all dead. In fact, it is luck to survive in the end. " Basan, a Sherpa, said, "This is our job and the only way for us to make money."

Then, when you blow air conditioning, take the subway, go to college, use computers and do decent work in the city, where do you stand and say, "Should the welfare of the poor be abolished to encourage them to make progress?"

You know, many of them can't even speak Mandarin, let alone read. You can even communicate with foreigners in English.

Some people may go to eat noodles with gravy with the central leadership every day, and some people may go back to the first half of the year by saying a word to the cadres at the official level.

This is called class, which means that the education received, the information contacted and the circle that can be contacted are completely different. The above three points are the biggest factors that affect making money.

Barbara Allen Rick, an American columnist of 1998, chose six places and went to work in different cities in order to experience the life of the bottom people in the United States.

In order to ensure that she can truly experience the life of the local bottom people, wherever she went, she concealed her identity and cut off contact with her former friends, starting with her savings of $65,438+$0,000.

However, she made a decision for herself that she must have her own car, otherwise it would be too inconvenient. The cost of car maintenance in the United States is much cheaper than that in China, and the owner is poor.

In these areas, the average hourly salary of an ordinary person without education is 6-7 dollars, working eight hours a day is 50 dollars, and working 25 days a month is 1250 dollars.

But if you want to be close to your work place, the rent often accounts for more than 600 dollars, which is too heavy for people with a monthly income of 1000 dollars.

So she had to rent a house dozens of kilometers away from her workplace, but the cost of keeping a car and eating cheap and nutritious fast food cost 400-500 dollars a month to buy food and gasoline. Then, then there's not much left.

In a strange city, it will be more difficult to find a job in the first few days, because I haven't found a stable residence yet, so I have to go to a hotel for a few days. These days' accommodation will soon consume the accumulated $65,438+0,000. When I find a job and get my first salary, I have to pay the rent quickly.

Barbara changed six jobs in different cities, retail, cleaning and elderly service, and the ending was the same:

She found herself in a dilemma:

Then change places and enter the next cycle.

Yes, changing six jobs and no matter how hard you try, you won't get a future, even at Wal-Mart. A ridiculous fact is that people who work in Wal-Mart can't afford the products promoted by Wal-Mart.

This is a classroom.

When you see a poor boy working hard in Beijing, he finally becomes the best among his peers, with a pre-tax salary of 200 thousand a year, but he still has to scrimp and save every day because he has to pay off the debts borrowed by his family for his college education and take care of his sick old father. The child of another rich man earned 200,000 hours a year just by renting his house at home.

When you found out that Ma's father was a listed director of Yantian Port Company, he drove a Mercedes-Benz to do accounts for Ma in 1997. Liu Chuanzhi's father is the governor of the People's Bank of China and a senior member of the International Trade Commission. At that time, Wang Shi's father-in-law was the vice governor of Guangdong Province.

You will think that this is class.

3. It turns out that the British also think poverty is a sin because of laziness. For example, the Poverty Alleviation Law requires poor people receiving relief to work in poor houses, where working conditions are much worse than ordinary factories and wages are much lower.

The purpose is to stimulate these poor people to go out and stand on their own feet. An English professor recalled that when he was a child, there was a poor factory near his home. Some old people turned pale when they heard the report and didn't even go near it. When they saw the house, they were at a loss. They would rather starve to death than go in.

Later, the economic crisis came, and many "decent" families who were recognized as hardworking and thrifty also went bankrupt and were displaced, just like those poor people before.

Finally, they realize that poverty is neither lazy nor evil. Poverty is a misfortune and needs help.

First, the emerging middle class in China is not far from the bottom. They usually have decent low-paying jobs. They worked hard to save money for more than ten years and finally paid off their mortgage and car loan. They have successfully changed from the bottom descendants to the middle class, and their self-confidence is bursting. They like to blame the poor people in the world for not trying to improve their lives.

In fact, a natural disaster, a man-made disaster and a serious illness can make them stage a farce of "visiting the people overnight". Only then did they realize that they did not have the ability to gather wealth quickly, and there were no middle-class friends around them who could really help themselves selflessly.

All I have is a pair of hard-working hands and a little savings I have saved through continuous efforts.

Now these savings are gone, the dream of the middle class is shattered, and the middle class has become a passer-by overnight. Only then, like the British, did they realize that poverty was not far from their "pseudo middle class".

Therefore, helping the poor not only embodies the humanitarian spirit, but also helps ourselves.

Besides, it really drives the proletarians into a hurry. Have you ever heard of this sentence?

"What proletarians lose is only chains, and they will gain the whole world."

4. The above is the article, and the following are some spit:

I don't know when it started, but there is a trend of killing the bottom people in China.

Your weakness is right. Why don't I praise you? Why don't I help you? Why don't I lend you money? Why don't I save you from ruin? Why don't you just have a weak circle, a poor family and a person with low IQ? Why don't I associate with the poor? Poor and ugly men must be philandering, and the poor must have a bad personality.

These articles are very popular. They expose the so-called "original sin of the poor" day and night, either true or false. They first fully deconstructed the mentality of the bottom people, and then clearly pointed out that they should not associate with the bottom people.

Recently, the argument that "you are poor because you don't work hard" came out and began to kill the hearts of the bottom people.

So those bottom people who get up early and get greedy for the dark and struggle for survival are thrown into the endless hell of laziness, greed, unworthy of help, lack of IQ and EQ, and deserve to die. It seems that it is not enough to beat them out of the water, and it will take tens of millions of feet to stop.

I just want to ask you people, do you think your last name is Zhao?

If not.

Why do ashes and dust hate each other?

Cruel world: you are never poor, you don't understand!

This is not chicken soup or arsenic.

Just from the complex status quo, grasp the undercurrent behind and analyze the future we will face:

Society is about to be stratified. What floor will you be on?

1. Will your next generation be forced to flee their hometown?

Give him whatever you have, so that he can have more. No, even what he has will be taken away from him. "

This sentence comes from Matthew 25: 29 in the Bible. Later generations took this as an allusion and summarized the "Matthew effect", that is, the stronger the strong, the weaker the weak.

Matthew effect is the coldest rule in the world, but it is everywhere.

When topics such as "fleeing from the north of Guangzhou" and "fleeing back to the north of Guangzhou" became hot on the Internet, based on the big data of population movement in various provinces, a cruel conclusion was drawn:

A metropolis is like a water pump, constantly pumping labor from backward provinces. Perhaps one day, like Japan today, countless villages and towns will wither and decline, but Tokyo and Osaka metropolitan areas will remain prosperous.

In the era of negative population growth, metropolises will mercilessly suck the blood out of the surrounding areas in order to survive.

Cruel? No, because this is the result of young workers' own feet (voting).

Metropolis has high-quality political resources, commercial resources, educational resources and human resources. ...

These high-quality resources attract countless outstanding young people, and outstanding young people will promote the prosperity and development of metropolises, so that metropolises can obtain more resources, thus forming a virtuous circle of advantage iteration, which is the stronger Matthew effect.

The inference drawn from population migration is even more shocking:

You can still hesitate between these choices (fleeing from the north to the north or fleeing back to the north), which shows that you are extremely happy, because your next generation and the next generation may have no choice.

If you finally choose to stay in a comfortable and picturesque town, you may be very happy;

But when your children reach your age, it is very likely that they have only one and only one choice, and that is to escape from the hometown that will eventually decline.

The so-called "incomparable happiness" in this article is actually "extremely cruel".

Because metropolises are robbing outstanding talents, they are also using high housing prices and household registration system to push tens of millions of ordinary people in Qian Qian to the edge of the bustling city, forcing them into cramped basements and messy rental houses until the day when their dreams are shattered, and then their next generation will pack their bags and flee their hometown.

This is the other side of Matthew effect, the weaker the weak.

The richer you are, the faster your income will grow!

Thomas Piketty, the author of Capital in 2 1 Century, believes that the current rate of return on capital is greater than the economic growth rate, which will lead to the accumulation of social wealth to a few people.

In other words, the richer you are, the faster your income will grow! The statistics of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) confirm this point.

In the last 30 years, the incomes of high-income groups and low-income groups in developed countries such as Britain and the United States have increased, but the incomes of high-income groups (government and enterprise managers, financial practitioners and IT practitioners) have increased even faster.

The accumulation of investment wealth is like snowballing. At the same speed, the bigger the snowball, the faster the volume increases.

When Wang Jianlin's small goal of "making a hundred million first" was screened, did you ever calculate that Wang Jianlin's net worth was 260 billion, and one hundred million only accounted for 0.04% of his total assets, which was really just a small goal for him!

For young people with no property and an annual income of 100000, a small goal of 100 million is not too difficult, that is, not eating or drinking, working1000.

3, it is difficult to have a child in a cold door.

1980, a farmer's child stepped into the school gate of Peking University, and all the neighbors were proud of him.

But he arrived in Beijing only to find that:

I haven't read extracurricular books and can't keep up with the chat topics of my classmates;

Dressed very rustic, the girl asked him to carry a bag to fetch water. The reason turned out to be to let her boyfriend rest.

When he introduced himself, he was laughed at in public, saying that he spoke Mandarin like a Japanese.

He knows nothing but transplanting rice seedlings.

It is such a farmer's son who founded the first China educational institution listed in the United States. He was selected as one of the "50 most influential business leaders in China", and his name is Yu.

Poor families make noble children, and adversity makes talented people. Yu's life experience has written the legend of reading to change his destiny.

However, what if you were born a few years later?

Liu Yunshan, an associate professor at Peking University Institute of Education, found out the family background of Peking University students from 1978 to 2005;

In the middle and late 1980s, it was the golden age for farmers' children to change their fate with knowledge, and more than 30% of Peking University students came from poor families.

In the mid-1990s, the proportion of farmers' children began to decline;

After 2000, only 10% more rural children were admitted to Peking University. The channels for children from poor families to enter famous schools are getting narrower and narrower.

Who occupies the position of farmer's children?

In 20 12, the authoritative journal China Social Sciences published a research report, Silent Revolution: A Study on the Social Sources of Students in Peking University and Soochow University (1952-2002).

By studying the data of 50 years, the report reached a conclusion that made the whole society stunned:

After 1990s, the proportion of elite children admitted to Peking University increased rapidly. These social elites only account for 1.7% of the total social population, but 40% of Peking University students are born in such elite families.

It is no longer difficult for the poor to have expensive children, and the elites gather in famous schools. This is another victory of Matthew effect.

Why was the 1980s the golden age for farmers' children? Because 1977 resumed the college entrance examination, the Matthew effect became more and more obvious with the passage of time.

4, the bottom of despair, shouting that reading is useless.

A few days ago, a reader forwarded me an article entitled "Half City", entitled "The bottom gives up education, the middle class is overly anxious, and the upper class does not play the Chinese college entrance examination".

Before that, I had already brushed this article in the circle of friends, because the title was too dazzling. What is stinging is, didn't it reflect the reality?

The author Yu draws a conclusion from the postdoctoral survey of sociology in Chinese Academy of Sciences: The poorer people are, the more they agree that "reading is useless".

The recognition degree of the poor in the village is 62.32%, the recognition degree of the rural middle class is 37.24%, and the recognition degree of the annual income is the highest, so the author uses such a subtitle to describe the attitude of the bottom people to education-desperate bottom people: simply give up higher education.

Is the author's conclusion correct?

Yes, it's hard to understand, but it's expected. Do not believe me to show you:

One of the arguments: the poorer the family, the higher the cost of reading.

A report in The Economist 20 14 pointed out: Including books, the tuition for three years in high school often costs thousands of dollars-which often exceeds the annual income of poor families in rural areas.

Argument 2: The lower, the harder it is to learn.

In 20 14, a statistical report by Benjamin Lillebrohus of Lund University in Sweden showed that:

In 20 12, the proportion of new rural students enrolled in Fudan University was 10.36%, Tongji University was 18.98%, Tianjin University was 28. 14%, Jilin University was 32.27%, Northwest Normal University was 59.85%, and Nanchang University was 43.

As mentioned in a report in Southern Weekend 20 1 1, "The lower your family background, the worse your school is", and this trend is hard to reverse.

Argument 3: The worse the school, the harder it is to find a good job.

When the starting point of social education is getting higher and higher, there are more and more fresh graduates, and the threshold of good jobs is bound to be higher and higher.

The competitors that graduates have to face are all people competing for the same position in the talent market, so "Adventure Island" is no longer a joke for the graduates of third-rate universities.

On the other hand, no matter how much the poor students owe and how much they have paid for going to college, enterprises can only express regret at most, that's all.

For the bottom people, the high cost and low income of education lead to their despair of education.

5. How do you spell the baby in Haidian?

When the voice of "reading is useless" is rising at the bottom, the investment in education by the upper and middle classes in society is even crazier.

In the first half of this year, an article entitled "Beijing's Helplessness: How to Fight Baby in Haidian" was madly forwarded in the circle of friends of parents from all walks of life.

When the mainstream media bombarded extracurricular classes as a machine to cultivate exam-oriented education, the author revealed his children's courses in remedial classes:

Chinese is taught by the teacher of Peking University, and the children read the university and The Spring and Autumn Annals, but many of them are actually about history, which is a horizontal comparison of what happened in China's history and foreign history, with cultural and philosophical enlightenment.

English is taught by famous teachers in New Oriental, and children begin to spell naturally, not by rote, but by telling English stories.

Mathematics is taught by graduates from 985 famous schools in China. The Olympiad in the lower grades of primary school is enough for liberal arts students to surrender their guns, but children will have fun learning it.

The author claims that his son gets up at 7: 30 in the morning, finishes class at 8: 00 in the evening, and has to do his homework when he gets home. After finishing his homework, he also has to read extracurricular books, usually children's books. He finishes reading one book every week, and one in Harle, including science and technology, history, geography and so on.

Maybe you will think that such parents are cruel and make their children suffer so much. What about a good happy education? What is even more cruel is that these are all requested by the children themselves.

He is usually controlled to go to bed at ten o'clock in the evening, but he often goes to bed later than this. The child is only seven years old! I'm really worried. Every time I tell him that you don't want to go to extracurricular classes, he always doesn't want to. He has a goal, that is, he can beat his father and have something he knows his father can't do.

The last sentence of the article is intriguing: success is really not the accumulation of a generation. What is even more intriguing is: the tortoise and the rabbit race. What happens when the rabbit runs like hell?

The answer is still Matthew effect.

6. The more developed the society, the more solidified the stratum.

Seven Years of Life is a BBC documentary, which selects 14 British children from different classes to record their life trajectories. From the age of seven, it is recorded every seven years until they are 56 years old.

This 49-year study reveals a cruel fact: the children of the poor are still poor, and the children of the rich are still rich, and the class is passed down from generation to generation.

Seven years old should be a naive age, but children in different classes have shown obvious differences.

Upper class: John and Andrew have formed the habit of reading the Financial Times and The Observer. They clearly know that they will go to a top private high school, then go to Oxford University, and then enter politics.

Middle class: boys will have their own ideas, such as opposing racial discrimination and helping people of color; Girls want to grow up, get married and have children.

Underclass: Some people want to be a horse trainer to make money, others want to have a chance to meet their father. Paul, who was born in a slum, even regards "having enough to eat, being punished less and being beaten less" as his life wish.

After 49 years, they are 56 years old.

Upper class: John became an entrepreneur and devoted himself to charity, Andrew became a partner in a law firm, and their children continued to receive elite education.

Middle class: most of them are still middle class, and some will slide to the bottom of society.

Underclass society: Paul became a bricklayer and Simon became a driver. They have given birth to many children, and most of them continue to make a living by selling labor at the bottom.

In a society where everything is in ruins, it is possible to overtake in a corner and get rich overnight, but once the society enters a developed and stable stage, the division and solidification of classes will become increasingly obvious.

Harvard open class "What is the starting point of fairness" points out: "Even the effort itself depends largely on the lucky family environment."

Both Roosevelt presidents graduated from Harvard, and four generations of "Bush family" were Yale alumni. Bush even joked during the campaign: "I inherited half my father's friends."

The contacts, wealth, elite consciousness and educational resources of the upper class are all passed down from generation to generation, and future generations.

The children of the middle and lower classes in society, after receiving the so-called "happy education" in public schools, constitute a new generation of middle and lower classes in society. But in any case, the developed society can at least provide them with reliable living security.

This is another form of social stability.

7. Society is about to be stratified. What floor will you be on?

Hao's Beijing Folding won 20 16 Hugo Award.

Hugo Award is the highest award of science fiction in the world, and it can be called "Nobel Prize in Literature" in science fiction. However, "Beijing Folding" is not so much a science fiction as a social metaphor in the cloak of science fiction:

The top layer manipulates the rules and the middle layer operates at a high pace, so the poor at the bottom will no longer have the value of being exploited.

When people at the bottom shouted at their neighbors that reading was useless, Alpha Dog had already defeated Li Shishi, and a revolution of "artificial intelligence" was coming quietly.

It can be predicted that with the development of artificial intelligence, "machine substitution" is an inevitable trend. When batches of "automatic XX machines" enter all walks of life, the social demand for blue-collar workers will be greatly reduced. On that day, where will the bottom people who give up education go?

This is a question for the government to consider.

For ourselves, we are more concerned about the question: is it possible for this society to break the class?

Yes, of course!

Even in the highly solidified British society, in the documentary "Seven Years of Life", there is still a person who broke the ceiling of the class and was successfully promoted to the elite. He is Nicholas, the son of a farmer. He was admitted to Oxford University and then became a professor in a famous American school.

A quarter, in probability, is about 7%.

Coincidentally, american physical society academician Barabashi, an authority on global complex network research, mentioned such a view in his book Outbreak: 93% of human behavior is predictable, and the remaining 7% are unpredictable people who have changed the world.

This book does not give the origin of the figure of 7%, but it at least gives us a revelation:

There will always be such a person in the world who can transcend his family, blood relationship and environment, break free from the shackles of the times and make the world sit up and take notice of him. Such people are called heroes.
