Your Distance

"University ... I never thought about it. You make me think about it."

Ting Shuang leaned on the fence with her elbows on the fence table, raised her head, looked at the sky, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

The sun was plated with gold and honey on his young face, throat, arms, and the refreshing wind on the top floor brushed his short hair, putting the front of the wide shirt against his chest.

the University……

For Ting Shuang, going to college is a matter of course, and it is natural to not need to think about what it is.

Now at first thought, I felt a kind of shock. Why didn't anyone ask him this question before he went to college?

Ting Shuang thought for a while and said, "Boss Bai, if you ask me what I think at this stage, I think it's quite ... realistic. I have also heard people say that the university is a spirit of fostering independence and freedom. ... but later, I think this statement is actually sour. It doesn't mean that it's not good. The slogan is good, it's good, it's ... unrealistic. You see, so many universities, so many college students, there are A few independent thoughts, the spirit of freedom? What people think about is the way out. The insurance research and postgraduate study abroad, looking for work, many people just think about these practical things, anxiety is too bad ... "

Ting Shuang glanced at Bai Changyi and was a little uncertain: "Boss Bai, maybe because I have been working for the past few years, some of the statements that seem to be right, I feel like I'm just talking on paper ... um ... if you say wrong, you tell me."

"We are chatting, there is no right or wrong." Bai Chang smiled, "You continue to say."

Also, this is a question without a standard answer.

Boss likes to ask questions without standard answers.

"Then I'll just talk about it." Ting Shuang used to feel a little guilty when he was asked a little bit before, and now his mind suddenly relaxed. "If I go to college and study, I just want to study, I don't want to get a degree certificate. That ’s fake ... these two things are not contradictory, right. The reality is that many jobs have educational requirements, and my dad recruits employees in research and development positions, and does not recruit graduates with a master's degree or less. Let ’s go. I have the ability to solve professional problems. I do n’t want to join the company in the future. They think I am an airborne soldier who does n’t understand anything ... I want to solve the actual problem. I remember a professor in our undergraduate mentioned a particularly awkward Situation: At the same time that college students ca n’t find a job, in fact, the company ca n’t recruit people. Because the university students trained by the university are out of touch with the needs of the company ... Speaking of this, you see, most of the jobs, people recruit you I want you to work, so people do n’t need any independent thought, the spirit of freedom ... "

Bo Changyi waited for Tingshuang to finish, and said, "I don't think that it is the university's responsibility to provide labor that meets the needs of enterprises. That is the task that vocational education schools need to complete. The inadequate vocational education system has led to the provision of vocational education Responsibility is pushed to the university. "

Ting Shuang thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out: "So ... Boss, do you think I went to college this way and went wrong? But the reality is that college students need to find a job. They learn things in college and meet like-minded people. To seize the opportunities offered by various universities ... "

"I said, don't talk about right or wrong. I don't want to tell you what answer, what reason, we stand differently and see different things. How to get through this stage is a question you need to think for yourself." Bai Chang He turned his head and looked in the other direction. The glasses chain shed a tiny light in the sunlight because of his movements. "Look."

Ting Shuang looked at Bai Changyi's eyes, not far from the school's library, teaching building, laboratory, square ...

The baroque-looking library was built hundreds of years ago and has since been restored many times; the teaching buildings, laboratories and faculty buildings were all newly built, and the appearance before World War II can no longer be reproduced; there are many on the square Students basking in the sun, or lying down reading books, or sitting in groups of three or five, chatting with coffee cups.

"Ting, what do you see." Bai Changyi's deep voice stopped in Ting Shuang's ear for a while, then scattered in the wind.

What did you see ...

"I saw ... our school ... various facilities." Ting Shuang's eyes fell on the top corner of the library, where a marble sculpture of the goddess of wisdom Minerva stood, "... I know I should cherish these Resources, learn as much as possible. "

"Because you know you will only stay here for two or three years." Bai Changyi overlooked the road in the school, and there were pedestrians or vehicles passing by, and there was traffic, "so I want to take something from here. But in fact This place in college ... is more romantic than you think. "

romantic……

Ting Shuang couldn't help looking at Bai Changyi's expression.

Boss Bo is getting old, and the word actually runs out of his mouth.

Looking at it like this, Ting Shuang saw a rare, unusual tenderness in the eyes of Bai Changyi.

Obviously they are standing on the same roof and looking at the same scenery ...

Ting Shuang stared at Bai Changyi's face, and asked, "What do you ... see?"

Bai Changyi didn't answer Ting Shuang's question, but said, "You asked me before if you didn't care about the dissatisfaction of the students. You know, at the end of the due date, the professor will face the evaluation of the students, just like you also face the professor's examination . "

"Yes, I just want to say this ... I also graded several professors last semester." Ting Shuang said, "Does this have an impact on you? Are there ... assessments or something?"

"Professors who have too many bad reviews may not be able to continue teaching if the school chooses not to re-appoint them," said Bai Changyi.

Ting Shuang was a little worried: "Then you--" Bai Changyi's lips twitched slightly, and said in a humorous tone when he was joking in class: "But I am a tenured professor."

lifetime professor?

Can a tenured professor do whatever he wants?

The moment he heard that, Ting Shuang wanted to kill the people. Fuck, the tenured professor seemed to be able to do whatever he wanted ...

But the next moment, Bai Changyi put away his joke tone, and carved a hard, deep thing between his eyes, as if glancing at the ages: "The meaning of a tenured professor is that I will always stand here and look at this place. "

Standing here all the time ...

Always looking at this place ...

For no apparent reason, Ting Shuang calmed a bit in this sentence.

"You asked me what I saw, and I told you what I saw." Bai Changyi looked towards the medical laboratory farther away, "ting, do you believe it, when we talk, that building A new type of nano-robot was born in the building, making a certain human disease ever history? "

Bo Changyi's voice sounded too reliable, and Ting Shuang looked at the laboratory and wondered: "... what nano robot?"

Bai Chang smiled lowly, Ting Shuang reacted suddenly, and frizzed: "Do you tease me?"

"No." Bai Chang smiled, and then pointed his fingers at the group of students basking in the square. "Do you believe it, at such a noon like usual, there is a genius in this group of children, basking in the sun. With the sun, drinking cold coffee, and a sudden flash of light, can the entire human knowledge boundary be moved forward? "

Ting Shuang wanted to say that he didn't believe it, and wanted to say that you **** made me play again, but at this moment he couldn't tell.

"... I believe it." Ting Shuang felt strange. "I really believe it. I don't know why I believe it."

"Because you know that such things are happening constantly." Bai Changyi glanced down at the ground floor. "The building under your feet is changing the lifestyle of many people."

Ting Shuang also bowed her head and looked at Lrm under her feet.

He seemed to understand something.

Bai Changyi said that they stood in different positions and saw different things.

indeed.

He stood in a place where he could only see himself, and only saw himself.

His first reaction to the question "what do you think the university is" is simply "what do you think the university is for you?" The university is a period of time for him, a stage, a place that will eventually leave.

As Bo Changyi said, he knew he would only stay here for a few years, so he was anxious to take something away, anxious to make a few changes to him in the past few years, and carve him into the person he wanted to be.

But this place of university ...

There are actually other meanings.

For the flowing students, the professors of Tieda, for those who have been standing here, the university is another existence.

The wind on the roof continued to blow, as if for many years.

Tingshuang avoided the wind, lit a cigarette, and tried to see what Bo Changyi saw in the smoke. After a while, he asked: "Boss Bai, what do you think of college?"

Bai Changyi took over the half-burning cigarette in his hand, took a breath, and opened his lips lightly: "Human pioneer."

It may be that the wind on the roof was too strong, and Ting Shuang's arm suddenly stirred up a layer of goose bumps, and his back was numb.

Human pioneer ...

"Ting, I only ask you the hardest questions, because I never underestimate you." Bai Changyi turned his head and looked at Ting Shuang. "Someday, sooner or later, some of you will come to me, even if only one."
