Why does a top student in Peking University wear an apron and kill pigs and buy meat? What is the story about him? What's going on now?

Peking University and Employment

Lu Buxuan Because he lived in poverty since childhood, he always wanted to change his destiny through studying. Lu Buxuan is easy to learn and can find various books to read by himself. Over time, his level even surpasses that of his teacher.

In 1985, 19-year-old Lu Buxuan was admitted to the Chinese Department of Peking University. As the first child to be admitted to Peking University in ten miles and villages, Lu Buxuan was incredible at that time. The villagers all expressed that this child will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future and achieve great things.

Lu Buxuan also thinks so. In his opinion, Peking University is the first institution under the feet of the emperor. If you graduate from Peking University in the future, what awaits him will definitely be a high-ranking official and a generous salary.

When he first arrived at school, Lu Buxuan's first impression on his classmates was that he looked like an old man from Shaanxi, with yellow teeth and a smell of smoke. His signature image was to clamp the cigarette on his ears.

After staying at Peking University for a while, his image has obviously changed a lot. He began to put on his sunglasses and his vest, walking at the front of the trend.

However, although his appearance has changed, the literati arrogance in his bones has not changed. He loved literature since he was a child and always wanted to write a book that was famous in history.

But fate doesn't seem to run as he thinks. In 1989, Lu Buxuan graduated from Peking University. He thought that his dream of a senior official would be realized soon, but what he didn't expect was that what awaited him ahead was decades of ups and downs.

1989, with the reform of various policies, the distribution policies for college students gradually tightened. Lu Buxuan, who graduated at this juncture, was suddenly beaten back to his hometown in Shaanxi.

Even after returning to his hometown, Lu Buxuan still believes that he is one year taller than other graduates because he graduated from Peking University.

He found a unit with relatively good salary and jobs. He originally thought it was a foregone conclusion to enter the unit, but when he came to the front, his quota was actually overturned by the so-called "relationship account".

He was very angry at the time, so he came to the Personnel Bureau to appeal. But unexpectedly, facing himself, a top student who graduated from Peking University, the staff of the Personnel Bureau ignored him.

even called him three times, but the other party didn't open his eyes to look at him. This reality left Lu Buxuan with a big gap in his heart. He was indignant, but he was powerless.

There was no way Lu Buxuan had to find a job in a machinery factory. This kind of life was very afflicting for him who was arrogant.

In 1992, after seeing others successfully doing business, Lu Buxuan, who was not satisfied with his current life, also chose to "go into business".

But he has no business acumen. He has always been wise and has not made a good life, but has been in debt.

In this case, the wife really couldn't see the future in him, so she filed for divorce from him. Lu Buxuan, who was frustrated with his family and career, never expected that he would fall to this level.

could not accept reality, and began to numb himself with alcohol, and searched for self-worth in mahjong every day to live in a mess.

Until 1999, 33-year-old Lu Buxuan remarried. At this time, I was poor, but my wife still chose me.

This made Lu Buxuan ignite the desire to start a business again. He wanted to give his wife a better life, unlike letting his wife suffer with him. At this time, Lu Buxuan had only life in his mind, and the so-called "literati arrogance" in the past had long been exhausted by life.

Since you are going to start a business, which industry should you do? Lu Buxuan thought hard, and suddenly remembered that when he was young, he had to buy meat with tickets, but he didn't need meat tickets.

is precisely because it does not require meat tickets, so it always takes a certain amount of connection to buy it. At that time, the teacher often curled up with the meat-selling classmates at home in order to be able to buy meat.

Thinking of this, Lu Buxuan felt that he had found a direction.

changed careers and became a butcher. Once the world heard

Lu Buxuan finally decided to sell pork. Because after several days of investigation and exploration, he found that the investment in selling pork was small and effective, and he could recover the cost on the same day and see the money.

However, as a top student who graduated from Peking University, at the beginning, he was not very well accepted by the job of "meat dealer". He always thought it was a low-end job.

So at first he hired a master to sell in front, while he hid behind and did not dare to see anyone because he felt embarrassed, especially when he met an acquaintance, he felt very embarrassed.

However, the paper couldn't contain the fire after all. Soon the news of him killing pigs and selling meat spread in the village, and some relatives with slander began to sarcastically mock him behind his back.

Faced with these gossips, Lu Buxuan went from shame at the beginning to numbness later. In the end, he simply gave up and started to go to the front line, selling meat by himself.

From then on, he bid farewell to the halo of Peking University and became a butcher who slaughtered pigs and sold meat.

However, over time, he gradually mastered the trick of killing pigs and selling meat, and because he never sells black-hearted meat, his "eye butcher shop" has accumulated a good reputation.

His business is getting better and better, and he usually sells until three o'clock in the afternoon to have a meal. After closing the stall, he would ask his wife to cook a few side dishes for him and order money while drinking a little wine.

Gradually he got used to such a peaceful and ordinary life. But such a stable life was disrupted by a report.

In 2003, a news report on "Peking University Graduate Selling Meat on Chang'an Street" shocked the entire society like a super nuclear bomb, causing huge controversy in society.

Many students have said that what is the use of getting into Peking University? In the end, I will be a butcher. Even if I don’t go to college, I can sell meat. In this way, the "theory of the uselessness of reading" gradually spread.

Lu Buxuan's life was also completely disrupted by this report. He has to accept more than ten interviews every day, which has greatly affected his business.

And in his opinion, it is shameful to be famous through this method and topic. So when he faces interviews with reporters, he always has a expressionless face or a cold face.

He said, "Fate is basically not in my own hands", and this sentence also caused great controversy.

However, this change is not completely unhealthy. During this period, Lu Buxuan received invitations from more than 300 companies across the country, and the government was under great pressure due to social controversy.

Therefore, in order to retain this very topical golden sign, the local leader directly came to Lu Buxuan and said: Now you can choose all units, and you can do any unit. If you have any problems in the future, you will come to your brother and you will be escorted. Such treatment of

made Lu Buxuan feel happy all of a sudden. In the past, he was begging them, but now they took the initiative to come to him.

So Lu Buxuan accepted the leader's proposal and entered the system he had dreamed of. After considering it well, he chose the Ministry of Culture, which is mainly responsible for writing local chronicles.

Once again, Lu Buxuan felt very satisfied with eating Shangguan’s family meal. Because he has been wandering outside for nearly ten years, he always feels that the system is the best because it is stable, safe and secure.

Lu Buxuan was like this, working hard for 13 years in writing local chronicles. At the beginning, he was ambitious and wanted to write a grand work to leave it in history.

However, reality is not as satisfactory as he imagined. Because of his topicality, it is difficult for him to devote himself to his own cultural undertakings. Instead, he needs to spend a lot of time to deal with complex interpersonal relationships.

Just when he was confused and didn't know what to do, a person appeared, and he completely changed Lu Buxuan's life. This person is his Peking University president - Chen Sheng .

Chen Sheng’s experience is completely different from Lu Buxuan. After graduating from the Department of Economics at Peking University, his life was smooth sailing. He was first assigned to an institution with generous treatment.

In 1990, under the temptation of the "tide of going into the sea", he quit his public office and went into business, but he succeeded in one fell swoop. Later, he wanted to get involved in the business of agricultural and sideline products, so he remembered Lu Buxuan, the junior in the newspaper who sold pork after graduation.
He took the initiative to contact Lu Buxuan and invited his franchise. At that time, Chen Sheng felt that Chen Buxuan's life could not match his talent. When persuading Lu Buxuan, he pointed out incisively: "Since you can't write the record of the grandfather like Sima Qian , but you still bury your talents in such a unit. It's better to re-engage with me."

From being "forced" to being voluntary, the butcher's mind changed

Lu Buxuan did not make up his mind for the invitation of his senior. He originally wanted to help. But he was reported by someone who wanted to win-win results with money and officials, so he was investigated by the organization.

Although Lu Buxuan was investigated in the end, there was no problem. But this incident seriously hurt his dignity, and Lu Buxuan felt that he was insulted.

He left a sentence directly: "If you don't keep me here, you will have to stay with me. If you don't keep me everywhere, I will go and sell meat." Then he resigned from his public office and returned to his old career.

He joined Chen Sheng’s No. 1 pork. Later, with his guidance and help, No. 1 local pig was able to settle in more than 30 cities across the country. The company has also expanded to nearly 10,000 employees and more than 2,000 chain stores. By 2018, the sales of No. 1 local pig reached 1.8 billion.

Faced with the series of achievements he made, Lu Buxuan's mentality changed a lot. He often educated his employees that "as long as people live, they will always have future, so don't give up easily."

In 2013, at the invitation of his alma mater, Peking University, Lu Buxuan returned to his alma mater to give a speech.

His self-introduction is: "I am the first pork guy at Peking University, I am the negative teaching material of Peking University, I am smearing the alma mater." But is it really smearing it?

is obviously not. Lu Buxuan, who donated 900 million yuan to his alma mater at one time and was worth hundreds of millions of yuan, obviously succeeded.

Later, Lu Buxuan mentioned that he had received a letter from his roommate, which contained a sentence: "Peking University was once our free kingdom, but it was not our lifelong burden. Being an independent talent is the most important thing." This sentence really comforted Lu Buxuan, which also made him truly at ease and insisted on his meat-selling career.

"Studying may not necessarily change your destiny, but it may definitely change your thinking." You may not necessarily succeed by getting into Tsinghua University and Peking University, but if you choose the right direction and persist, you will get closer and closer to success.

careers never distinguish between high and low, but reading can improve thinking, and thinking can distinguish abilities.
