Xia Guo. Eighties.

This is an era to remember.

The college entrance examination system has been restored;

The spring breeze of reform and opening up has blown all over 9.6 million square kilometers of land.

Although the people of Xia during this period were very poor, the country was not rich.

However, the hard-working and kind-hearted people of Xia are struggling and struggling with surging enthusiasm...

1983 year. Summer. Sioux No. 1 Middle School.

A middle-aged man in a Mao suit, riding a Phoenix bicycle, drove into the campus.

His name is Guo Jianmin and he is a cadre. This time, he was specially dispatched by the Provincial Bureau of Education and Chemical Industry to inspect the major middle schools in Suzhou City.

After all, it's already summer, and it's time for the college entrance examination in two months.

Due to the reasons of reform and opening up, Xia Guozhen Government really opened its eyes to the world for the first time.

And only by seeing can we understand what "backwardness" is.

backward in agriculture, backward in industry, backward in commerce... In addition to the spirit of perseverance, diligence and bravery, the people of Xia have "lagged behind" the times in everything.

And the reason for all this?

Knowledge!

For this reason, in this early period of reform and opening up, intellectuals were respected like never before.

The country is hungry for all talents.

And the annual college entrance examination is treated as the most important and important political event by the country.

So, here comes the commissioner!

......

on campus.

When the principal got the news, he hurriedly brought several deputy leaders to greet him.

"Special Commissioner Guo is welcome to come to our school for inspection!".

"The principal is polite, I was assigned by my superiors this time to come to your school to check the preparation for the college entrance examination. As you all know, China is now very poor and backward, and the country needs talents from all walks of life, and the college entrance examination is the main way for the country to select talents. The commissioner said solemnly.

"We understand!"

The principal and the deputy leaders nodded in unison: "Commissioner, please come here, please go to the office and drink a cup of hot water first!"

As for the tea?

Hehe, tea is not so easy to afford in this era!

"No, take me to the classroom to see how the students are doing!" the commissioner flatly refused, with an indescribable solemnity on his face.

In this era, most officials have good qualities.

They really lead by example and serve the people.

"Okay, commissioner, please!".

"Please!".

Under the guidance of the school leaders, the commissioner visited every classroom.

Looking at the students who listened carefully in the class, the commissioner was very satisfied.

However, just looking at the classroom does not tell the real situation.

"By the way, Headmaster, is your school's library open today?" the commissioner asked suddenly.

Hearing this, the principal hurriedly nodded: "It's open, it's always been open." "

"Very good, take me to see it!".

"Yes, commissioner, please!"

After speaking, the principal took the lead and led the commissioner to the school library.

......

The secondary school library of this period was very small, built of only two brick houses, and was far less magnificent than that of later generations.

Most of the books in it were donated by members of the community free of charge.

However, although the library is small, there are many "students" who come to read books.

When the correspondent walked into the library, he found that:

On that simple bench, there sat a large number of "students".

These students are yellow-skinned and thin, some old and some young.

The old one is gray-haired, and he is about forty or fifty years old.

And the small one....

At this moment, among the many "students", the commissioner suddenly saw a little guy.

The little one is small, very small, about a meter tall.

He was wearing a gray children's outfit with patches on it.

The whole person sat directly on the table where he was reading.

And in front of this little guy, there is a thick book.

The thickness of the book is almost as big as half the head of a little guy.

Among the dense "students", the little guy is so conspicuous and eye-catching, almost immediately attracting the attention of the commissioner.

Huh?

What's the situation?

In the library of the dignified Xia Provincial Key Middle School, there was a child

Looking at its height, I'm afraid it's not even five years old, right?!

I'm afraid that a child of this age has never even gone to kindergarten, how can he go to Sioux Middle School to read books?

"Nonsense, headmaster, how do you manage the school, how can you let children in such an important place as the library, what if you break the books?" said the commissioner angrily.

The voice was very low, afraid of disturbing the "students" who were reading.

But the anger in it can be heard by everyone.

Hearing this, the principal panicked and hurriedly explained: "Commissioner, that child is the son of a cleaner in our school, and his father is a martyr. Because of their father's death, the mother and son were left alone, so the town government asked us to take them in. "

Uh, martyrs?

The commissioner was stunned for a moment: "Is it the war against Vietnam?"

"Yes, Commissioner!".

As soon as these words came out, the commissioner was in awe.

Orphans of martyrs!

"I'll go take a look!".

As he spoke, the commissioner walked briskly towards the little one.

The principal and the others hurriedly followed.

The arrival of the crowd did not disturb the students who were reading books in the library, let alone the little guy who was sitting on the table reading books.

With no one paying attention, the commissioner came up behind the little one.

Until this time.

The commissioner was shocked to find that the thick book in front of the little guy turned out to be in English.

There is not a single kanji in the book.

The commissioner, who only has a junior high school education, can't read the words at all.

Yes, not a single word.

This moment.

The correspondent was stunned.

This moment.

The principal and others were also stunned.

Damn, what's going on?

A little guy so small is actually reading a foreign book that even adults can't understand???

And looking at its serious demeanor, it doesn't look like it's doing it at all!

"Headmaster, what kind of book is this?" asked the commissioner in surprise.

The sound was loud and woke up the little guy who was reading a book.

The little one turned his head and looked at the adult behind him, his big bright eyes blinking.

It looks cute.

Well, people in this era don't know what "cute" is.

"Uncle, this is the English version of A Brief History of European Industry!".

The cute voice came out of the little guy's mouth, with a milky taste.

And yet!

It was this short answer, but it was like thunder, shaking everyone behind him.

Including the Commissioner;

Including the Principal;

This also includes the school leaders who followed.

A Brief History of Industry in Europe

Nima, little one, are you going against the sky? How old are you?

"Uncle, my name is Chen An, and I am five years old this year!".

What? five years old? only five... Five...... Five-year-old?

!

Mom!

Commissioner: "..."

Headmaster: "..."

School leaders: "..."

Everyone's brains were instantly shut down, and there was no exception !!
