In the final analysis, the realization of the Chinese dream depends on talents and education.

There is such an experience, soaked in sweat, deeply engraved in memory, until decades later, I can still clearly remember the admission ticket and admission notice of that year;

There is such a term, which has witnessed the youth of several generations and carried the expectations and dreams of thousands of families in Qian Qian.

College entrance examination! College entrance examination! Forty years ago, the resumption of the college entrance examination system opened the era of dreams and lit up the future of China.

Dreams break through the ground: 1977, a turning point for a country and a nation.

1February, 978, after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the first batch of college students entered the university gate. This is a class of 1977 in Tsinghua University (photo).

1977, the entrance of the college entrance examination, which lasted for more than ten years, was closed and reopened. 5.7 million people from different backgrounds, ages and identities poured into the examination room. ...

Huang Danian, who works as a geophysical operator in the geological team, works during the day and studies hard under mosquito mines and weak oil lamps at night ... Finally, he became one of the 270,000 "lucky ones", passed the college entrance examination and later became a strategic scientist, thus changing his life fate.

That winter was not only a turning point in the personal fate of these dream catchers, but also a turning point in a country and a nation.

1977 in early August, Deng Xiaoping presided over a symposium on science and education, and the participants advocated the immediate resumption of the college entrance examination, which was clearly supported by Deng Xiaoping. From mid-August to late September, after a heated debate, the conference on college enrollment finally reached a consensus, changed the enrollment method of "recommending to go to college" and resumed the college entrance examination.

10, the State Council approved the opinions of the Ministry of Education on 1977, stipulating that all qualified workers, farmers, educated youths who went to the countryside and returned to their hometowns, demobilized soldiers, cadres and fresh graduates can apply for the exam. The enrollment methods are voluntary registration, unified examination, city primary election and school admission. Resume the unified examination of provincial propositions. The entrance examination is held in winter, and freshmen enter school in spring.

Countless young people struggling in confusion and hardship have seen the dawn of hope-an era of changing their destiny through fair competition has arrived!

An old employee of Xinhua Bookstore recalled that a set of review materials for "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series" just came out, which triggered a spectacular scene in which the whole family went out to queue up for purchase overnight. The printing factory is also working day and night to print, but it is still in short supply. "Someone was holding a small bench, because there were too many people, and everyone came to line up in the middle of the night."

According to statistics, there are 1977 and 1978 candidates * * there are 1 1.6 million.

This is a long-standing desire, a long-suppressed dream, and a prelude to a country's re-respect for knowledge and talents. ...

It was also in 1978 that the Beijing Film Academy went to Xi 'an to enroll students for the first time after the national college entrance examination resumed. Knowing this news, Zhang Yimou ran to the examination room with his own photographic works. At that time, he jumped the queue in rural Shaanxi, worked with farmers for three years, and was later recruited to Xianyang Cotton Textile Factory as a porter for seven years. Later, Zhang Yimou was admitted to Beiying as he wished and began his artistic life.

Restoring the college entrance examination is like "the light suddenly coming in at the end of the collapsed tunnel, which makes people see the light of that small hole when they are suffocating." According to Ray, a historian who was admitted to the Department of History of Jida University from 65438 to 0978, China people later believed the phrase "knowledge changes fate", which proved that knowledge was endowed with sufficient dignity and value after the resumption of the college entrance examination.

Reform is a dream: 40 years of wind and rain, the college entrance examination lights up more hope.

"Looking back 40 years ago, China was still emphasizing the' two basics', that is, basically popularizing compulsory education and basically eliminating illiteracy among young people. Higher education at that time was still in the stage of elite education. " Zhong Binglin, president of China Education Association, said, "Now, higher education is moving towards the stage of popularization."

Dreams unite strength and face the future: the Chinese dream of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation depends on talents and education in the final analysis.

The 40 years since the resumption of the college entrance examination system has been a 40-year period in which China's education has made remarkable progress and the talent team has been growing continuously:

Over the past 40 years, higher education with the entrance of college entrance examination has achieved fruitful results. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, ordinary undergraduate colleges and universities sent nearly 20 million professionals in five years, injecting new impetus into the development of high-tech industries and strategic emerging industries; Vocational education transports nearly100000 technical and technical talents to all walks of life every year, and carries out various trainings for hundreds of millions of people. In 20 16, there were 1 18 universities in China as the main completion units, and 172 general projects won the annual national science and technology award, accounting for 77.8% of the total number of general projects, reaching a new record high.

Forty years ago, the resumption of the college entrance examination system ushered in the spring of education and science. With the implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education and strengthening the country through talents, the college entrance examination system provides a steady stream of talent guarantee and intellectual support for promoting China's economic and social development.

20 17 is the first year of the new college entrance examination reform. The reform pilots promoted by Shanghai and Zhejiang are exploring and perfecting the recruitment methods of "classified examination, comprehensive evaluation and multiple admission", perfecting the system and mechanism of "promoting fairness, scientific selection and strong supervision" and laying a more solid foundation for "selecting people without sticking to one pattern".

No country in the world has such an examination system that closely links the state and individuals.

Forty years ago, the college entrance examination let hundreds of millions of dreams fly again. Today, we have never been so close to our dreams-through successive struggles from generation to generation, we are closer to realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history.

"At present, China is in the process of transforming from a big country in education and human resources to a strong country in education and human resources. The new era pattern and new talent concept have put forward new requirements for the examination enrollment system and talent selection. " Jiang Gang believes that the reform of the examination enrollment system should serve the needs of economic and social development for diversified high-quality talents and provide strong talent support for realizing the goal of "two hundred years".

Time flies for 40 years, and the years have fixed a period of vigorous past events as the collective memory of the whole people, lasting forever.

Forty years passed like a song, which is an "unquestionable" year, and still continues the sacred mission of selecting talents and serving the country.

Nearly 10 million candidates will enter the examination room this year. Although the examination paper is no longer the only evidence to determine a person's future and destiny, nor is it the only key to grow up, it still carries the students' vows to live up to their youth and the expectations of the country and the nation for a better future.
