Today, Mr. Xing doesn’t want to talk about education policy. Let’s talk about a homeless man’s story. Thanks to Douyin, many of his videos have been widely circulated on the Internet, and he was even dubbed a "Master of Chinese Studies" by netizens.

Xingjun doesn’t want to talk about education policy today. Let’s talk about the story of a homeless man . This homeless man is a Shanghai uncle named Shen Wei . He is a university graduate and once worked as a serious civil servant in a certain district audit bureau.

Some media described him this way: On a busy street in Shanghai, a ragged homeless man sat on the ground. He was unkempt but spoke astonishingly. Facing the camera of strangers, he used standard Mandarin to talk about "Zuo Zhuan" and "Shang Shu", corporate governance, and anecdotes from various places. He also warned people that "people who start well are many, and those who end well are few."

Thanks to Douyin, many of his videos have been widely circulated on the Internet, and he was even dubbed the "Master of Chinese Studies" by netizens. From the video, we can feel that Mr. Shen has a clear mind, a calm attitude, and a pleasant voice. Although he was once sent to a mental hospital because of his hobby of scavenging, you can feel that he is still a long way from mental illness.

He said that he has a hobby, which is to go to the subway station to study. One is to sharpen his state of mind, and the other is to use a kind of performance art to influence more white-collar workers. Everyone can judge that this kind of behavior is performance art. Xingjun thinks that Mr. Shen is really normal.

So it’s curious. How did , a normal person who loves reading, become a scavenger? After all, in the eyes of the public, the profession of scavenging is still a bit different and not suitable for college students, let alone replacing civil servants.

After various rumors spread about his wife and daughter being killed in a car accident, a public account called Red Star News interviewed him, allowing the public to understand his original family and mental journey.

I don’t know what other people think after reading it. Anyway, after reading his self-report, Xing Jun couldn’t help but sigh with emotion If a person is not respected and understood as a child, how much trouble it will bring to his life .

Let’s first look at how was forced to change from a liberal arts student to a science student ? The following is Mr. Shen Wei’s self-report.

My father is an example for me to reflect on life. He was an undergraduate in the 1960s, majoring in navigation. After moving from Jiangsu to Shanghai, his life encountered setbacks.

I was born in Shanghai and lived with my grandmother. But the relationship between my father and my grandmother was not good, and for some reason my father often got angry with me. Even like this, I don't hate him.

I like drawing and reading history books, but he hates it. Sometimes, I sold junk and bought books. When I got home, I could only hide them quietly in my stomach to prevent him from seeing them. It wasn't until night, when he went to bed, that I dared to secretly take out the book under the quilt and read it.

The Chinese teacher at that time said that I felt depressed. Yes, I am at a loss in front of my father.

Studying auditing is a regret in my life. If my father had communicated politely, I would never have chosen this major. I would choose the Chinese Department or International Political Studies.

After graduation, I entered the Audit Bureau of a district in Shanghai. I don’t have a background in a prestigious school, and I don’t like the auditing profession, but I made this choice under the constraints and pressure of my father.

It’s a pity that I haven’t done what I want to do in this life. If I could do it over again, I would choose a job that suits my wishes and is linked to culture rather than numbers.

Among them, if my father communicated politely, I would definitely not choose this major. , made Xingjun couldn't help but wonder what kind of tough methods his father used to change Mr. Shen's life trajectory.

Mr. Shen also recalled the last time he met his seriously ill father , which was heartbreaking.

My father is in the hospital bed. I haven’t seen him for ten years. He doesn’t recognize me anymore.

After he found out it was me, he started to cry, held my hand tightly and said he felt very guilty. He said, you could have achieved great results in your studies, all because of me... He kept slapping himself, and I burst into tears and was speechless. I said forget it, it’s all over. At that time, he didn't know that I was living on the street. He said that the family was finally reunited, and it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival. We bought mooncakes and ate them among everyone.

Shortly after I left, my father left.

If being forced to study numbers from his love of literature ruined half of his life, then if ideas were not recognized by everyone, the other half was also ruined.

I have fallen to this point, in the final analysis, it is a conflict of ideas.

I grew up in a difficult environment. In order to study, I picked up garbage since I was a child, including orange peels and broken glass. I picked up everything that could be sold for money, and then I went to buy books.

When I was a child, I was often laughed at by my classmates for picking up trash, and I was very embarrassed. But at that time, I was wondering why the beggar didn't do anything, but instead sympathized with him. And I worked hard, but I was laughed at. The most interesting thing is that there is a special person who collects the orange peels I picked up, so why am I still laughed at? I don't understand it until now.

In 1986, after graduating from university, I entered the Audit Bureau of a certain district in Shanghai. On the first day I entered the unit, I walked into the bathroom and found a lot of paper thrown in the trash can. I felt it was a pity that useful things should not be wasted like this, so I picked them up.

From then on, whenever I was in the office building, I would pick up useful things, such as newspapers or paper with only one side printed. But by not picking up things like Coke bottles, I am financially independent and don’t need to sell money to spend.

At that time, I worked very hard, went home late every day, and sometimes lived directly in the office. A few years passed like this, until someone complained that I was picking up trash at work. That was in 1993.

As soon as I walked in the door after returning home, my 70-year-old grandmother sat up from the bed and shouted at the top of her voice, "The leader of your unit has come and said that you are mentally abnormal and always pick up garbage." I just wanted to go to my unit and leaders to explain it.

On the second day, before I went to the leaders, several leaders came to talk to me. They said, Shen Wei, starting from today, you pack up your things in the office and go home to wait for work. They thought I was out of my mind for picking up trash.

On that day, the Philadelphia Orchestra performed at the Shanghai Sports Center, and I wanted to go see it. But it was the first time in my life that I suffered a setback, which was a bit unbearable. After getting on the bus, I was supposed to get off halfway, but the bus arrived at the Nanpu Bridge terminal. I thought, let’s go home and read more. But my family and I got into trouble, as if we didn’t know each other.

I cried for the first time in my life and felt very wronged. I don't get paid for picking up garbage, and it saves money for my company. How did it become like this?

Since then, Mr. Shen has suffered a lot of grievances. His family did not understand him, his neighbors did not understand him, and he was sent to a mental hospital. But fortunately, he survived and still maintains his hobby of reading and lives a helpless and indifferent life. Scavenging life.

Such an uncle whose interests have not been respected since childhood and whose ideas have not been recognized really makes people feel infinite sympathy. Just imagine, if his father could be more tolerant and let him stick to his hobbies, maybe he is now engaged in the cultural or historical work he loves, and maybe he also has a happy little family.

If his concept of garbage classification, even if society does not understand it, can be properly guided by his parents, maybe he will become a pioneer or entrepreneur in this field, not just a poor waste picker. Thinking that Shanghai is now vigorously promoting garbage classification, Xingjun feels deeply saddened by the loss of such a potential talent.

I still remember when I was in primary school, the teacher once asked everyone to talk about their ideals. One classmate stood up and said loudly that my ideal is to pick up garbage when I grow up. The whole class burst into laughter, and the teacher asked him to stand for a long time. After learning about it, the parents asked him to "eat life." He communicated with me aggrievedly and said that he thought picking up garbage was very interesting, as he could have many little accidents and surprises, and he could also reuse the waste. Unfortunately, Xingjun has lost contact with this classmate long ago, and I don’t know what his current situation is.

Finally, back to education. I believe that every parent wants to give his child a hard time when he hears that he wants to scavenge when he grows up. But god-level parents may take advantage of the situation and transfer his interest to a more acceptable level . Maybe It can also help him do something special. As for ordinary parents, they must at least not ignore their children's deepest interests and must fight with them.

I hope that all children in the world can receive the most basic respect.
