Southern Weekend: Young people go into the system

The number of applicants for the National Civil Service examination in 2011 was more than 1.4 million, and three consecutive times since 2009, with more than 3,000:1 of the top 6 competing positions.　　The proportion of large state-owned enterprises, public institutions and civil servants has been increasing, while the proportion of foreign companies and private enterprises tends to decrease. The survey of residents ' happiness shows that the highest proportion of people and enterprises in the State organs answer very happy.　　Stability, high welfare, security, security, these current times precious benefits, is to guide a generation of Chinese young people to return to the system.　　For most young people, February 14, this is Valentine's Day; for the 31-year-old subdistrict office worker, Shenna, this is just the day of her long experience preparing for the National civil Service exam. After graduating from university in 2003, she participated in eight consecutive national examinations.　　Her world is simple and clear: admitted to civil servants. No solicitation arrangements, after work is her review of the "Shen" and "Administrative professional ability test" time. In fact, every page she is very familiar with, these two add up less than 800 pages of civil Service examination review materials, she repeated the intensive reading for eight years. In addition to bad luck, can explain the Shenna eight consecutive years failed in the country, can only be the degree of competition intensity of the year.　　2011 National Test Register again Refresh three records: More than 1.4 million, also the third time since 2009, the largest number of candidates, 35 years old, which is the upper limit for the age of entry, the ratio of tests to 87.5:1, the top 6 positions with the most competition, with an unprecedented proportion of more than 3,000:1. More and more young people are pinning their life's hopes on being squeezed into public units. Also popular with the civil service posts are the central government and the large state-owned enterprises.　　A survey of China Youth Newspaper Center in 2008 showed that graduates who wanted to enter state-owned enterprises increased from 14.6% in 2007 to 19.2%, while those who wanted to enter foreign companies dropped from 50.2% to 42.4%.　　In 2011, 5 Nankai University students surveyed the employment intention of Tianjin graduates under the guidance of economist Zhouliqun, state-owned enterprises, public institutions and civil servants ranked top three.　　South weekend reporters in Beijing University, Tsinghua University, Renmin University of China, Huazhong, Sichuan University, Southwest University of Science and Law 2008, 2009 graduates randomly selected two classes as a sample, found nearly 90% of the students have to apply for the national test. Shenna's number of fellow-travellers is exploding, which is the response of social resources, wealth and opportunity, and to local tilt stimulation.　　20 years ago, with the rapid development of the market economy, the space outside the system is full of vitality and opportunities, a large number of young people out of the system, into the foreign enterprises or the sea gold; 20 years later, the quietly-turned invisible baton began to guide the young in the opposite direction, to the system! I am a national crazy Tsinghua University, Master's degree, is currently working in a Beijing financial institutions subordinate enterprises-born in 1The 981-year Li Hongjun apparently belongs to a promising young elite, though he does not think so. After four consecutive years of participating in the examination, Li Hongjun summed up his life in the first 30 years of the biggest failure is, 2004 years of undergraduate graduation did not participate in the national test.　　Read the "historical records" and "Mao Zedong Anthology" in middle school, he was determined to enter politics, college entrance examination, he did not hesitate to report to Tsinghua University, an engineering professional.　　This step in his career planning in the life of the top schools in Beijing, first to read engineering, and then read the arts, and then the perfect education background into the civil service sequence. On the eve of graduation in 2004, Li Hongjun in the self-study classroom preparation for postgraduate examinations, found around a lot of students in the review of national examination materials.　　Weigh repeatedly, Li Hongjun believe still must put long vision, "perfect resume" more important.　　After three years of Master's degree, Li Hongjun found that he had miscalculated, "the National exam has gone mad." In 2007, the number of applicants reached 600,000, which turned nearly 5 times times from 2004.　　In that year, nearly 5 million college students graduated, which means that about every 10 graduates have taken part in the national test.　　The entire graduating class--especially the liberal arts majors--almost all of the students sent to participate in the national test became the norm.　　In order to help students improve the competitiveness of national examinations, the law and politics College of Hebei Normal University also takes the written subjects of two civil servants ' examinations as the subject of political science and administrative science. The economic chain around the national test has already formed. University campuses nationwide, all kinds of national examination training ads overwhelming, even to study abroad exam training known as the new Oriental, also in 2006 founded the Civil Service Examination Training Center.　　Industry estimates, the 2009 civil Service Test training market output value of up to 1 billion yuan. The examination room of Guangdong province is located in Guangzhou, Dongguan, Foshan, respectively.　　Some market sense sensitive travel agencies tailored national test lines for candidates to provide round-trip bus, accommodation and catering service.　　According to the same process network hotel project leader, the national test on the same day, the city's urban orders floating around 50%.　　This is really a great spectacle of China now, more and more people to the "country" the beginning of the product to avoid, but at the same time with the "country" word of the place. 2010 Peking University graduate Cao Liang also received two copies of Ofer, a PhD from a British university, one from the southern grid. Parents and girlfriends have a one-sided view that he should choose the southern grid. The reason is enough to make him hard to argue: so hard to enter the state-owned enterprises can not squeeze the head, and so you read the book back, but also find such a good job?　　If you can't find it, what's the use of reading so many books? This becomes more and more a standard standard of choice for graduates. South weekend reporters in the interview process to hear similar stories abound: Tsinghua 12,005 graduates in the propaganda department of the final admission notice before, flatly rejected the University of Hong Kong's PhD full award Ofer; 12,010 graduates in the family and studentsThe strong proposal, give up PwC, into a China to do civil servants ... Li Hongjun to the original "wrong answer" regret unceasingly, at a dinner, he to the leadership of the wine to spit the truth: "I am here to dawdle, prepare the national test, to do civil servants." The leader of his position is quite agree, Pat his shoulder said: good test! "Do you believe this to be true?" Li Hongjun recalls this scene, said, "Now the whole society thinks this is an enterprising performance."　　"System" raging "2010 Chinese Urban Residents Happiness Survey" shows that the state organs of the party and government organizations, enterprises and institutions responsible for answering "very happy" proportion of the highest. When Zhao Xin graduated from Renmin University of China in 2001, he did not say a word to China for report. At that time, this work appears insipid, starting salary but thousand yuan, although sooner or later can be far below the market price of money to buy a house, but then the price of commercial housing in Beijing is about 4,000 yuan.　　It's not much of a benefit yet. It was the year before the national test opened online.　　At that time, China, state ministries, provincial and municipal government agencies to recruit the way, but only to several well-known colleges and universities to recommend students, and then interview with the recommended person interviews, or to the university to organize special recruitment. In the Lance Tao impression of 1997 undergraduate graduates of international relations at Peking University, the best students at that time were reluctant to go to government agencies.　　Between 1994 and 2000, only 40,000 people were enrolled in the National Civil Service examination. State-owned enterprises are not competitive.　　In 1997, about 2/3 state-owned enterprises were still in a loss, and the same year, Vice Premier Zhu Rongji put forward the goal of "three years of relief" for state-owned enterprises. Despite this goal, the state began to introduce a number of supporting measures to divest the burden of state-owned enterprises, but still at 1993 years of non-public ownership of the economy to create more than half of GDP, "DPP" dividend period.　　High-income industries such as foreign companies and private enterprises are still the first choice for college graduates.　　But state-owned enterprises are "out of poverty" faster than almost everyone imagines. 2000, Lance Tao Peking University graduate, the state-owned enterprises began in high school high-profile recruit technology elite, "like China Electric Power, China nuclear Power group, these are not how to come to the enterprise, are a brain head over heels Peking University to pick people."　　"It is the state-owned enterprises" three years to get out of the end of the year, many state-owned enterprises out of the Trough, 1997-year loss of nearly 7,000 state-owned and state-controlled large and medium-sized enterprises, has been reduced by more than 70%. 2004 Lance Tao Peking University Ph. D. Graduates, the students around began to spend their minds weighing whether the state-owned enterprises Ofer is worthwhile. In the previous year, the country set up Sasac, after three years, although its jurisdiction of the central enterprises although cut by nearly 40%, but "slimming" profits in 2006 blowout to 1 trillion.　　This is 50 times times the total assets of state-owned enterprises ten years ago. In 2009, 5 years after Lance Tao graduated, state-owned enterprises accounted for 29 seats in the "Best Employer 50" announced by Chinahr, and rose to 33 in a year.　　Foreign companies only received 3 seats. In the media, aboutCentral enterprises and large state-owned companies are surging reports everywhere: the group of Central enterprises to enter real estate, coal, and a wide range of private enterprise acquisition, to Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, overseas listing financing; 2008, PetroChina won the Asia's most profitable enterprises, mobile as the world's most profitable telecommunications company, ICBC as the　　In the same year, the country invested 4 trillion in stimulating the economy, and nearly 90% of its investments were received by state-owned enterprises. "From the stretched to the deep, the" country, "the beginning of the word enterprise only in less than 10 years, the momentum continues to soar, the elite natural flocking.　　"Lance Tao said. National revenues are also soaring. According to the "China Statistical Yearbook", revenue growth rate in 1995 after the first super GDP growth, sustained high-speed growth to date. When Dr Lance Tao graduated (2004), revenues rose 505% from a decade ago (1994), while GDP grew by 342%. 2010, China's fiscal revenue amounted to 8.3 trillion yuan, twice the GDP growth rate.　　The big head of fiscal revenue is individual and enterprise tax. In the 2008, when the central enterprises in the financial crisis in the cold winter in the city by leaps and bounds, Wu Xiaodan unemployed, she began to rejoin the army of the national Test. Graduating from Shandong University in 2006, she ignored the strong opposition of her family, abandoned a large state-owned Ofer, joined a thriving private enterprises.　　A year later, the boss sold his business, turned into the real estate industry, she then job-hopping another private enterprise, because of the failure to apply for loans to banks, capital chain broken and forced to stop production. Obviously, has not been with the central government, foreign enterprises, the same supranational treatment of private enterprises in the "country into the People retreat" wave, has become a vulnerable group.　　Many private entrepreneurs are either turning to real estate and other cost-effective industries, or waiting to be bought by large state-owned enterprises, wearing "red top helmet", or to do low-end industries such as processing and manufacturing, which is not yet, perhaps also disdain to encroach on the field. That year, "the pursuit of RID, refused to commonplace" idea, has long been Wu Xiaodan left behind. She now only want to pass the exam smoothly, back to the "system" to go, otherwise, there is no security, no establishment, no household registration, "can ' rid ' where to go?" "The passage of time will show the" vision "of the young people who enter the system.　　8 years after graduation, Zhao Xin invited students to Beijing's new home, "envy jealousy hate all of a sudden heap in the face of the students," these outside the system dream of "rid" classmate, so far few people in Beijing to afford a house. Zhao Xin more than 90 square meters of volunteered is located in the third ring in Beijing, 2009 at less than 300,000 of the price to buy, at that time, its surrounding commodity prices have soared to 20,000 yuan/square meters. Zhao Xin Jie unit canteen dishes rich, meat and vegetable collocation has been, at noon a buffet only one yuan.　　The price has never changed since he entered the unit in 2001. In the old classmate surprised to sigh a money now in the market even a piece of ginger can not afford, turn to Zhao Xin Jie surprised: Is it? Are prices already inflation?　　I didn't even notice! His income is actually notHigh, one months about 4,000 yuan, but usually not how to use, in inflation and house prices soaring in the present, he obtained non-monetary benefits, with his classmate said, "immediately let a monthly income million but no other benefits of people want to find a piece of tofu killed." According to media reports of February 18, the China People's Livelihood Index (xiaoling), which was led by the Deputy Director of the Finance Committee of the NPC, last year, completed the "2010 Chinese Urban Residents ' happiness Survey", which revealed that after analyzing the industry and occupation of the respondents, they found that the officials of the State organs and　　The highest proportion. Zhao Xin Jay can be in this stable and full of happiness China dry life, as long as he is willing.　　Data show that since 1996 the introduction of the dismissal system to 2003 8 years, the National civil service dismissal rate of only 0.05%, the turnover rate of 1.25%, is China's "most stable group." Zhao Xin's happy life is only the epitome of civil servants with the establishment of central enterprises and large state-owned employees.　　Stability, high welfare, security, security, these are the factors and benefits of the current times, but also more and more attract millions of young Chinese elite scrambling to enter the system is the direct reason. "Survival" in the system of reading, my ideal is to change education, Master's thesis title is "Li Dazhao's civic education thought", now, I can not even analyze. "Every year home New year, Zhao Xin Jie as far as possible low-key, do not go out, nor visit."　　His China, although ranked in the power sequence, but his hometown relatives and friends only that he is "central down cadres," the person who entrusted him with a steady stream of people. The state authority is the Li Hongjun goal of the past four years, although the probability of a test is only 1 per thousand. "In the general government departments, most of them are trying to live a secure life within the system, but there must be some other ideas for the real authority," he said, pausing for a while. During the preparation period, Li Hongjun in his hometown to open coal mine boss relatives and friends heard his ideal, immediately called to ask him "how much money to manage, how many."　　Of course, this is a very unreliable idea, the national test of transparency and justice is also more than millions of people to apply for one of the reasons. "But the aura of power on the head of the civil service has to be said to be very charming."　　"Li Hongjun said. This is not too much to put on the surface of the temptation is Huang Chuwei even test five years of the direct cause of the test. After graduating from Xiamen University graduate, Huang Chuwei entered a public institution in Beijing. At home, the parents of farming asked, we will be bullied later, your unit can tube it?　　Huang Chuwei said, parents silent for a while, then you can be transferred to speak to the unit?　　Li Le is currently working in a northern real power sector, 2007 Sichuan University graduate, he is a senior employment star, just entered the unit, he is still in an unstoppable expansion period, although just an ordinary staff, but asked him to do a succession of people, and humble attitude. It's a sense of superiority and a girlfriend who's thinking about buying a house.。 Li Le now a monthly income of about 4000 yuan, in addition to 5 yuan a meal canteen meal, unit plots low-cost supply of organic vegetables, laundry coupons and more than one months base salary, no other benefits, the house is said to "Hope Slim."　　And, Li Le the year, just in time to "sunshine wages" began to strictly enforce, before the numerous subsidies have been canceled. This means that in this city, he will not eat or drink for 50 years to buy a set of 100 square meters of the house, which is based on the current price conversion.　　In the face of the increasingly scarce reality of volunteered, this is the problem that the grassroots civil servants in China face collectively.　　Girlfriend suggested Job-hopping, change the "cheap point" of the city lived a little, Li Le insist never agree. "One is that although the income is not high, but every day there are always so many people to ask me to do things, once out of the system, it must become me to ask others." I can't take it.　　He said, "Frankly, my daily job is to repeat the same process, I have no other skills." After abandoning the British opportunity to enter the southern grid, Cao Liang also fell into a "mechanized" anxiety.　　As a graduate student of Peking University, his daily work is to organize materials, documents, the end of the busiest, because to catch all kinds of year-end summary.　　Recently, he is working on a staff counseling program, so that colleagues in the substation care equipment is not so boring, for example, the application in their offices to add audio, weekly for their venues to play basketball and badminton, and these employees also graduated from Wuhan University, Hust, NCEPU and other prestigious schools.　　Reading, my ideal is to change education, Master's thesis title is "Li Dazhao's civic education thought", he said, now, I can not even analyze. Cao Liang was born in 1984, and in his 2010 graduation, most of them officially bid farewell to the campus.　　In the tide of the return, which was stimulated by the trend of the retreat of the people in the country, the label that once attached to them, such as independent individuality, began to appear less persuasive and generalization force.　　They are in fact as rare an opportunity for self analysis as anyone born in China, with a pragmatic system of thinking that is deep in the mind, with little independent value and meaning, always subordinate to a certain social standard.　　Now the stability of the system of yearning and conscious maintenance, in this generation of young elites has been and will continue to be deeply rooted. Wu Xiaodan finally get into Shenzhen a unit, right now work is to the unit write propaganda draft and news.　　She began to more and more conflict with a few still in the system outside the classmate chatting on the internet, a little deeper on the huff. Why are you always criticizing? Why do you always have to rethink?　　She asked, can't you focus on the mainstream, the bright side? Overall, Wu Xiaodan is a peaceful person, every day in a peaceful unit in the template to complete the peace of the draft, she always habitually swallowed four vitamins, this is the welfare of the unit hair.　　The pill in the bottle goes down day by day and is one of the few details of the current daily life of the Chinese department's graduate students. JustShenna, who participated in the eight consecutive national examinations, is still preparing for the nineth examination this November. According to the latest regulations, from next year onwards, the central and provincial departments and above the recruitment of civil servants, in addition to some special posts, are from more than two years of grassroots work experience in the examination record. This may at last reduce some of the competition for the contemporary female fan chin.　　Is this going to be her last chance?
