Miles to Go 人生之路 Episode 1

The Yellow River is endless for thousands of miles, and the land is vast. It roars like a thunderbolt, splitting mountains and valleys, blocking deserts and plateaus. On the high mountains, there are thousands of simple families, facing the loess and their backs to the sky, singing the praises of struggle and labor, wisdom and love from generation to generation, stepping into the 20th century and ushering in the 1980s.

It was the midsummer of 1984, with green trees and luxuriant grass, and on the balcony covered with white vermicelli, Liu Qiaozhen, the second daughter of Liu Liben, a business expert, emerged. Suddenly, I heard a familiar shout from a distance. On the Panshan Road leading to the county middle school, two bicycles burst out like eagles, carrying Gao Jialin and Gao Shuangxing, the 18-year-old candidates from Gaojia Village, racing towards each other.

Liu Qiaozhen falsely claimed that she was delivering goods to her aunt's restaurant in the county seat, but actually pinpointed the time when the students passed by every day, and focused on Gao Jialin, who was in her heart, and drove a tractor to chase after her. Gao Jialin took a shortcut across the mountains, and when he rushed to the school just before the bell rang, he found that Gao Shuangxing was already sitting firmly in the classroom, and the outcome of the victory was obvious.

In recent years, there have been countless students, but no one has ever left the county to study in college, which means that the admission rate for the college entrance examination is almost zero. The county party committee and government attach great importance to this year's college entrance examination. In order to change this embarrassing situation, they specially invited the head of the county education bureau to give a speech in the key class of the college entrance examination.

Ma Zhansheng, the section chief, slapped himself on the stage first, mobilized the candidates to study hard and strive to be the first. If he wanted to qualify for the college entrance examination, he had to pass the comprehensive pre-examination, and promised that the top ten pre-examination results would come to the county party committee compound to receive the award , he will personally pay for the prize. After the mobilization, everyone was full of fighting spirit, shouted slogans in unison, and devoted themselves to hard study.

Liu Qiaozhen stood silently at the door and watched, then loaded Gao Jialin's damaged bicycle onto the tractor, and put it back where it was when the second uncle repaired it. The principal suggested that Huang Yaping and Gao Jialin write a manuscript and broadcast it repeatedly, taking this opportunity to encourage all candidates. Huang Yaping readily agreed, and followed Gao Jialin and others to Liu Qiaozhen's second aunt's house to eat noodles.

Four bowls of noodles were served with four bottles of soda, and a song "On the Field of Hope" was played, and the four talked freely. Huang Yaping's family background is superior, and she has no worries about food and clothing. Even if she comes to northern Shaanxi with her father, as her father is the head of the county's armed forces department, she can still find a good way out. On the contrary, the future of Gao Shuangxing and Zhang Kenan is uncertain, and Gao Jialin has no way out, vowing that he must go to university, otherwise he can only go home and farm. Liu Qiaozhen stood behind him silently, listening to his ambitious words, her eyes were full of admiration and admiration.

After a night of intensive review, the candidates entered the examination room in an orderly manner, and success or failure depended on it. Gao Jialin revisited the exam questions on the way back. He always felt that he had chosen the wrong answer to the political question, and was worried that he would lose a thousand miles by a tiny bit. On the other side, Gao Minglou, the secretary of Gaojia Village, popularized land contracting for the villagers, responded to the call of the country, and saw the children coming back, so he hurriedly ended the meeting.

Liu Liben reminded her daughter to stop going out and learn some women's skills at home, and sooner or later she will meet her husband's family. Liu Qiaozhen was dissatisfied with her father for letting her drop out of school prematurely, and angrily told her younger sister Qiaoling to study hard and not to follow in her footsteps. When Gao Shuangxing came home, his father talked about how he was going to be admitted to college and became a leader, so he felt pressured to have a good meal.

Gao Minglou knew that his son was not as good as Gao Jialin, so he specifically asked him for news, and wanted to know how big the gap was between the two children. Gao Jialin took this opportunity to ask Gao Minglou about politics, and Gao Minglou was both happy and surprised by his unique views. He was happy that Gaojiacun would definitely produce a student, and he was surprised that he was much better than Gao Shuangxing. Gao Binxing's limelight.

On the day when the preliminaries were announced, Gao Jialin took the first place in the county, Huang Yaping came in fifth, and even Gao Shuangxing passed the preliminaries. Only Ma Shuan failed the preliminaries, breaking down and crying bitterly. It made everyone feel uncomfortable. The newly appointed director Zhao ordered to register and fill in the household registration cards of each village. Gao Minglou personally came to the county seat and couldn't wait to ask Ma Zhansheng about the results of the pre-examination.

However, Ma Shuangxi barely crossed the line and was not motivated to study, which was in stark contrast to Gao Jialin. Gao Minglou was so anxious that it was his long-cherished wish to send his child out of Dashangou. He also heard that the county magistrate Qin commended the candidates who were close to the top ten candidates. In order to make Gao Shuangxing eligible to participate, he had to persuade Ma Zhansheng to help him.

The principal summoned the teachers to announce two things. The first is to do a good job in the ideological work of the students who failed the exam, and the second is to reorganize the college entrance examination class for the students who passed the pre-examination, and the teacher Jing Ruohong will be in charge. Jing Ruohong considered that the students were too exhausted during this period, so he suggested holding a party, taking this opportunity to mobilize and cheer them up, recited a poem on the spot, and Huang Yaping even performed a dance on stage.
