"Butcher of Peking University" ate public meals and donated 900 million yuan to his alma mater to become a billionaire. What is the current situation?

Since ancient times, the saying "There is a golden room in the book" and "Reading thousands of books and Walking Wan Li Road" has numerous benefits and has been rooted in our minds. China people's emphasis on reading can also be seen from various aspects. "Knowledge changes fate" is every student's firm belief.

Nowadays, the development of society is inseparable from the help of knowledge, so we pay more attention to reading, and the hurdle that every child has to pass on the road of growth is exam-oriented education. There are also many students who can pass the test of exam-oriented education and college entrance examination and open the door to the new world. Lu Buxuan, the champion of the college entrance examination, is one of them. He was admitted to Peking University, but his new world was not so smooth!

College entrance examination champion Lu Buxuan

Do you remember taking the college entrance examination as a teenager? At that time, schools, parents and even society paid the highest attention to us. The college entrance examination every year is like the most important turning point in life for students who take the exam. Armed police escort papers, traffic police sort out traffic, adults know that driving on this day is not allowed to honk, and students are not allowed to go in and out ... The whole society knows the importance of the college entrance examination for a child, and all difficulties must make way for their struggle and yearning for the future.

So did Lu Buxuan more than 20 years ago. He was born in a poor family in Chang 'an County, Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province, and grew up in such a poor family. He made up his mind to change his destiny by knowledge, get out of this poor place by college entrance examination and give his parents a better life. After the first college entrance examination, he got the admission notice from Xi Teachers College. Lu Buxuan, who was competitive since childhood, was very unwilling, so he tore up the admission notice and decided to take the exam for another year. This year, he studied hard at the last stop. Finally, in the summer of 1985, he was admitted to Peking University as the top liberal arts student in the college entrance examination in Chang 'an County.

Graduated from Peking University as a "butcher"

After further study in the highest institution of higher learning in China, Lu Buxuan studied hard and listened in class. From a poor young man, he has grown into an intellectual young man with progressive ideas and extraordinary achievements. After graduating from college, he left Beijing and returned to his hometown county. At that time, there were graduation packages. He was assigned to Xi Personnel Bureau and Diesel Engine Parts Factory, but he didn't stay for long. As he said, the smaller and more closed the place, the more serious the nepotism. It is difficult for a person like him who has no background and power to blend in and survive.

High flyers of Peking University, after reading so many books, later became a temporary worker, bringing tea and water to the leaders every day and cleaning. Work is hard and tiring, and there is no future. Lu Buxuan, with lofty ideals, finally couldn't stand this kind of life and complied with the general trend of reform and opening up.

Lu Buxuan didn't go well after he went to sea. Fate ignored him, but kept testing him. Whether decorating or digging gold mines, he still knows nothing, so that his wife divorced him. After remarriage, Lu Buxuan opened a canteen, which closed down because he didn't want to shoddy. I was a professional gambler because I didn't want to cheat and didn't make any money. Peking University's higher education didn't teach him the rules of survival in the workplace, but it drew the bottom line for him to do something.

Until 1999, when life was really difficult, he had to open a butcher shop, mainly because the cost of selling pork was low and the capital turnover was fast, which was a good choice for him who had just experienced the blow of life. However, in his view, the profession of "butcher" is the gap between ideal and reality. In order to make a living, he can only put down the arrogance of scholars and work in a "bloody" meat stall.

Perhaps it is because he has been unable to put down the shelf of scholars, or perhaps it is the foundation left by years of reading. He also gave his butcher shop a cultural name, called "Eyeglasses Butcher Shop".

Later, in order to do a good job in the butcher shop business, he deliberately concealed everything about Peking University and tried his best to clarify his relationship with Peking University or studying. Make yourself look more like an ordinary butcher. Finally, he found a way to sell meat. Pork is always of high quality and low price. People in Fiona Fang like him to buy meat here, and his glasses meat shop has become the best local pork shop.

Break the useless theory of reading and donate 900 million to your alma mater.

In the four years of selling pork, he has changed from a talented young man who graduated from Peking University to a skilled "meat seller" boss in front of the chopping board. Even though he has been restraining himself and living in obscurity, his story was reported by a reporter in 2003. For a time, the theory of "reading uselessness" swept the country and he was laughed at by many people.

Various media also began to interview and track Lu Buxuan, the butcher of Peking University. Under the lens of the media, students of Peking University used to wear shabby and dirty vests and shorts covered with oil and blood. On the bridge of the nose with glasses, there is still a little cultural atmosphere in a pair of eclipsed eyes. Under the media reports, not only was there more and more discussion about "reading is useless", but there were also more and more doubts about the "employment system" in society at that time.

Under the discussion of the national media, the government took note of Lu Buxuan's problems and provided him with access to the system. Lu Buxuan finally got a chance to get the "public rice bowl" he longed for for for decades. Although the salary of this job is not as much as selling meat, sitting in the office, it seems that he has become high flyers who just came out of Peking University decades ago. The humanistic spirit of Peking University seems to have always been with him and has never changed.

Lu Buxuan's archival work has been gradually recognized and won many national awards. Not fade away, the "glasses butcher shop" that changed his life. He left the business to his younger brother and apprentice and went to see it on weekends when he was free. If he used to sell meat for a living, now he sells pork by knowledge. After years of hard work and brain management, he finally turned over after being ridiculed for nearly 20 years and accumulated hundreds of millions of net worth. He also donated 900 million yuan as a reward to his alma mater, Peking University, who has become a billionaire.

Together with Bobby Chen, another senior student from Peking University, he made pork into a brand and promoted it in stores, forming a unique business model. With the joint efforts of two people, one is engaged in business operation and the other is engaged in knowledge export, and books such as Butcher of Peking University and Lu Buxuan Teach You to Choose Safe Meat have been published, making the "Butcher" a respected profession. He used his decades of personal experience to tell everyone that reading is not useless, and real success depends on whether he made the right life choice on his own initiative!
