Mine Memories Towards the Coal Well

On the topic of Shitanjing, I have wanted to write for a long time, but when I move the pen, I always feel that I want to talk about it, and I have not written it. Not long ago, when I was sorting out the folders, I accidentally found a half-cut that was written at an unknown time, and the title was "October 26, 1972", and I moved it word for word.

On October 26, 1972, I happily climbed aboard a Jiefang-brand freight truck sent from the mine to pick us up, and a word popped into my head, lingering.

The strange thing is that this is the only German word I know, ade, which I learned in the text "From the Garden of Herbs to the Three Flavors of Study", which has been abandoned for almost 8 years (from school to that time) and has not been forgotten.

Mr. Lu Xun used this word to express his reluctance to leave the Baicao Garden, the paradise of his childhood, but I was so happy and excited that I couldn't find any other words. I knew in my heart that it was very likely that I had escaped from the tiger pit and entered the wolf's den, but I still couldn't suppress my happy mood.

I've long wanted to get rid of this cursed intellectual youth career:

Samsung was still hanging high in the sky, and the captain's whistle sounded, rubbing his eyes that had not been fully opened, mechanically dragging his legs that could not take a step, and reluctantly followed the members to learn Dazhai.

At the end of the day, the members went home to eat ready-made meals, but I had to race against time to poke the stove to wash rice, cook and feed my head and fill my stomach. Before the meal fell, the whistle was urging again.

In this way, I got up early and worked hard day after day, and after a year of hard work, I was able to get a few boxes of paper cigarettes after a few boxes of cigarette money, which was a good year.

I couldn't remember what the reason was, so I didn't continue to write down.

This is an inexplicable topic, and only those who have experienced it personally will have a poignant experience and a feeling of understanding.

This time, I wrote "Towards the Coal Well", completely forgot about the previous attempt, changed the angle, and finally wrote it.

I read it again, I think it's still superficial, many things are not involved, some are not thorough, but the miners have given me a lot of support and affirmation, and under the prompts of the miners, several paragraphs have been added one after another.

From October 2011 to the present, it also contributed to the successful holding of the first gathering of Hangzhou educated youths who had worked in the Shitanjing Mining Bureau in Santaishan on December 17, 2011.

These are all things that I didn't think of when I wrote the article, and everyone cherishes this experience and can't forget it.

After the Cultural Revolution fight, inYongning County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, settled in Hangzhou QingThe year seems to have matured a lot all of a sudden. The inexplicable fanaticism and impetuousness of the past gradually subsided, and I began to see through the ethereal and illusory phenomena in front of me, and slowly learned to think by myself with my brain.

Few people believe in the rhetoric, and the longing and hope have reached a dead end, and the facts have cruelly proved that there is no way out.

The ideal was disrupted, the reality was not ideal, and everyone began to hesitate. Taking root in the countryside and working in the countryside for a lifetime is too hard and huge. I got up early and worked hard for a year in the dark, day and night, with a bead of sweat and eight petals, but I couldn't even keep a basic ration, what else could I want?Not to mention anything to transform the world and change our minds, relying on us people, if we want to change the status quo in the countryside, it is just wishful thinking!

There is no hope of being a soldier, there is no way to recruit workers, and I can't even think about continuing to study, how will I live in the future, what should I do?

Some people began to be pessimistic and disappointed, and adopted the practice of giving up on themselves and breaking the jar. A "chicken stealing campaign" has quietly spread among educated youth, and more and more people have been affected.

Now that I think about it, this move is not to steal money, nor is it simply to satisfy one's stomach, but it is just a vent, a kind of revenge, an inappropriate resistance to express dissatisfaction with reality, and to attract the attention of the relevant authorities.

Educated youth have become a problem, a burden, a burden, a headache for managers, a heartache for the people, and the relationship between the educated youth and the local people has become increasingly tense.

At the same time, educated youths across the country have also encountered this problem, and the negative reaction to them in society is increasing. With the continuous and expansion of the popularity of the movement to the countryside, the influence of educated youth on the whole society is increasing.

In view of this phenomenon, the state began to fine-tune the entire policy of sending young intellectuals to the countryside: In places where conditions permit, it began to recruit young intellectuals who had been trained in the countryside to join industrial and mining enterprises. Various channels should be adopted to arrange employment for educated youths in order to solve the worries of educated youths and their families and maintain social stability.

However, there are many monks and few porridges, and a few recruitment indicators are far from meeting the actual demand, and the educated youth are eagerly looking forward to the early increase.

In response to the situation, Yongning County has done everything possible to transfer Hangzhou's intellectual youth out of agricultural posts: salesmen in Xiashen stores of supply and marketing cooperatives, substitute teachers in rural primary schools, barefoot doctors in health stations, county-run enterprises, agricultural machinery and water conservancy management agencies, ......

All places that could be stuffed into Hangzhou's educated youth were accommodated as much as possible, and some were even recommended to be workers, peasants and soldiers. However, it is a drop in the bucket, and it will not solve the big problem, but it will make the educated youth who are not arranged even more uneasy.

Most of the industrial and mining enterprises are still suspending production, making revolutions and campaigns, and there is no need to recruit workers. The third-tier relocated factories have recruitment indicators, most of which belong to confidential units, and the political review is very strict. The young intellectuals from Hangzhou who went to Ningxia were all determined to be "not suitable for admission" and were unable to go on to higher educationThis decision is still valid.

Oil came to recruit workers, and the eldest son was plucked from the short, and a few good ingredients were selected;The 304 factory came to recruit workers, and after the political review, the piece of armor was not left and left in disgrace.

The age has reached the upper limit of recruitment - 25 years old, and the only way out is to enter the coal mine. Coal mines recruit general workers, and the age can be relaxed. It is also because the recruitment of underground shearers is purely labor, and the political trial can also be so-so, and it is much more relaxed.

Speaking of which, at that time, there was no enemy in front of us, and there were no pursuers behind, but somehow, we would have a brainAll of them signed up to go to the Shitanjing Mining Bureau, and Shitanjing is the place where our Hangzhou nephews gather the most.

On October 26, 1972, several Gaochegang Jiefang trucks pulled us and our luggage bunks across Xidatan and rushed to Shitanjing.
