676 points left-behind girl reported to Peking University archaeology major is really "a waste of points and no future"

Father responds: She takes money lightly and has always been assertive

　　Recently, Zhong Fangrong, a left-behind girl from Hunan, applied for the archaeology major of Peking University with a score of 676 points in liberal arts. On July 30, Zhong Fangrong said in an interview with the media that under the influence of Mr. Fan Jinshi, Honorary Dean of the Dunhuang Academy, and future planning considerations, she chose Peking University as a major in archaeology. She will study for advanced studies and do archaeological research in the future.

　　For a time, netizens were puzzled about Zhong Fangrong's choice of "applying for the major of archaeology": Why not study a better job and more profitable major?

More than 50 teachers came to the village to report the good news that night when the college entrance examination results came out

　　Zhong Fangrong, a left-behind girl from Leiyang, Hunan, scored 676 points in the college entrance examination, and won the fourth place in the liberal arts of Hunan Province. When she recalled the results, she still said that she was "a little unbelievable and felt that the results were a bit high." Zhong Fangrong told reporters that after the college entrance examination, he estimated that his score was a little over 600 points. And her teacher Lu said that Zhong Fangrong usually performed very well, and this time he performed normally.

　　On the night that the college entrance examination results came out, the school principal led more than 50 teachers to the village to celebrate with firecrackers and fireworks, and the villagers also set off firecrackers to celebrate. Luo Xiangyun, the principal of the school, told reporters that in his imagination, Zhong Fangrong’s parents were not around, and her grandparents did not know that this was great news. She might be very lost and lonely. "We all set off firecrackers, and the villagers will naturally come over to add some heat to Zhong Fangrong."

　　After the results came out, admissions teachers from Tsinghua University and Peking University also came to offer voluntary consultations on the exam.

Be a left-behind child under 1 year old

Memorized 7 times before the college entrance examination

　　According to Zhong Fangrong’s father, Zhong Fangrong was taken by his grandparents when he was less than one year old. He and his children’s mother went out to work, returning at most twice a year. In his impression, his daughter has been self-disciplined since childhood, with excellent grades, and she has never made her family worry about her studies. "She also got very good grades in the high school entrance examination. There are some free schools for her to go, but she didn't go. She chose the high school she later attended because the school has a better learning atmosphere. She has always been independent."

　　What makes Zhong Fangrong's father regretful is that he spends too little time with his children every year and has not participated in a parent meeting. "Her mother has a junior high school degree, and I have a primary school degree. We can't teach her much, but she didn't expect her to be so upbeat. She likes history and is related to her quiet personality. She is more able to learn more calmly."

　　"High savvy, calm, and well-planned learning." These are the three deepest impressions of Zhong Fangrong, teacher Lu, the head teacher. Teacher Lu told reporters that Zhong Fangrong has very good study habits and is relatively calm, able to calm down and complete various subjects steadily. The study is very planned, and I arrange my study tasks and study goals in an orderly manner.

　　Zhong Fangrong believes that she does not have too many study skills, and that textbooks and basic knowledge of liberal arts are more important. "In the period before the college entrance examination, I didn't write a lot of questions, and I usually endorsed it. I memorized the book many times and reviewed it every 10 days, about 7 times."

Netizens said she "wasted points, short-sighted"

　　On July 30, Zhong Fangrong told reporters that under the influence of Mr. Fan Jinshi and considerations of future planning, she had decided to study at the School of Archaeology, Art and Museum of Peking University, and revealed that it was her own choice.

　　When talking about whether the choice of archeology major is influenced by novels or film and television dramas, she said with a smile, "There may be a little bit. Sometimes when reading novels, it will be said that some of the protagonists are studying history, and I find it interesting to deal with cultural relics."

　　Faced with the future employment situation, Zhong Fangrong said that he had also considered it, because he majored in archaeology at Peking University, and his basic life should be guaranteed for future employment. Regarding the career direction after graduation, she expressed the hope to be a teacher or work in a museum.

　　After the news rushed to the hot search, there was a voice on the Internet: Archaeology is not popular, and you may not find a job. Some netizens even accused her of wasting points and thought she was short-sighted.

Support action

Welcome juniors

Archaeological colleagues from many provinces gave her a "spree"

　　While the girl's application for the archaeology major has aroused heated discussions among netizens, it has also attracted the attention of the archaeological community. On July 31, the official Weibo of the Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology stated that in order to encourage Zhong Fangrong, the official Weibo of archaeological institutions in Shanxi, Henan, Hunan, Gansu, Liaoning, Jiangxi and Hubei, as well as Guangdong, Sichuan and Tianjin The personal Weibo of his archaeological counterparts realized the linkage and sent the "entry gift package" to this little junior girl, including "Shanxi Precious Cultural Relics Archive 9", "Jiangkou Shenbao" and other historical materials.

　　"She was very happy when she knew it. After all, it was something she was interested in, and thank you everyone for encouraging her." On August 1, Zhong Fangrong's father told reporters that when he learned that his daughter wanted to apply for the archaeology major, he went to the village to ask Of college students, others say that this major is very unpopular, with narrow employment and little money. "But she takes money relatively lightly, and I also think that children will be happier doing what they like."

Expert: The employment rate of archaeology is not low

　　"I also heard about this. This candidate should be interested in history and archaeology before choosing this major." Qian Guoxiang, a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told reporters that he believes archaeology is a career. The value cannot be calculated solely on the basis of "how much money has been earned". Cultural inheritance is also a value. "Social development can't just stop at economic development. At this stage, cultural development is also an important aspect. Archaeology is the process of cultural inheritance and relay, and people need to continue to do this."

　　Qian Guoxiang said that archaeology is indeed an unpopular major, but the employment rate is not low. Like other majors, it also faces the challenge of talent competition. "At present, in the period of economic construction, there are many construction activities. The workload of the archaeological team at a certain stage is still very large. It is necessary to introduce archaeological talents, but the positions are limited and high-level talents with new ideas can enter relatively large research institutions. "However, in addition to national-level research institutes and museums, graduates can also choose hundreds of institutions such as museums and research institutes in various provinces and cities.
