Hot 3751 views. 2013-7-9 18:05 | instead, service, safety

 

    A girl of my department yesterday present a quit letter to me. She is a post graduated student this year, and just worked in our company for only 1 month. During this month, she behaved clever,easy going, and responsible. In a word, i felt she had the potential to become a good professional office lady, or to say in a Japanese style, a salary woman.

    So i invited her for a talk. I asked her why she want to leave, then she began to grumble(just make her name as M) 

M: I feel losing. I cant see my future here in Beijing.working in a company and making several thousands of money, I cant see the hope of my life..

L(me): while you know you just begin your career now, sure you would make more and more money along with your increasing ability.....

M: No, I can t believe one day i would get as strong as you, or our female boss. And even i get there, still no hope.

   L: what hope do you mean?

   M:  stay in Beijing, work so hard, and life still very very hard. To marry, buy house, car, and raise baby....... All so hard, i feel i cant bear them all in future. I feel losing.

   L: so?

   M:  so i would follow my mothers advisement, and go back to my home town to take the civil service exam. I planed to prepare the exam for 1year, as the chance to change.

   L: so civil service exam is your future, in your consideration, right?

  M: yes, i have no confidence to work, in Beijing. I cant see future.

  L: how would you deal with your boyfriend if you back to your hometown?

  M: i already asked him to break up these days. His family has no good fortune, if we stay together, life would be too hard....

  L:what? But your boyfriend is a graduate student of WW university( one of the top 5unniversities in China!)

   Then i became silent....

Quite depressing. Just look at the pressure this girl is undergoing. With such a good academic background she is desperate to succeed in her career.

What she is saying is true. The present job is not too bad but she has much higher expectations. There is no point of tying herself down to a job which could not make her dreams come true.

However, we can see that the road to realizing her dreams is not as smooth as she believes. The civil service examination involves competition between hundreds of thousands of aspiring graduates. She is only one in many trying and her chance of success is low. It is the modern day version of the Chinese ancient emperor imperial examinations systems.

In conclusion, we have to accept the fact that people aim high and water flows downwrds. Bless her and wish her the best.

I want to say that society is so unfair that only in CPP have the privileged rights. That why so many people want to become civil servant. Corruption is widespread in CPP from central to local, from state leaders to village head.
