A few days ago, Zhang Xuefeng was on the hot search again because of his "out-of-line" remarks.
The reason is that a mother in the live broadcast room said that her children can go to a higher-grade school if they choose liberal arts, but their math scores are good, and they waste their mathematical and physical abilities when they choose liberal arts.
Zhang Xuefeng asked bluntly, do you want to be a high-grade college, or a high-grade employment industry?
"Liberal arts are all service industriesWhat is the service industry?It can be summed up in one word: 'licking', that is, 'I'll give you a smile', 'Do you buy a link'".
After the live broadcast clip fermented on the hot search, Zhang Xuefeng responded on Weibo.
said that he was also engaged in a "licking" business, and there was nothing bad about it.
also made an "apology" in the live broadcast, giving a thumbs up to the camera, with some clear reluctance in his expression. directly reversed the previous speech, and took out the posture of coaxing children, "It's all other people's **, okay, our service industry is the highest-end." 
Everyone saw that Zhang Xuefeng was not hiding the yin and yang at all, but there seemed to be no sign of collective condemnation. Related**、Posts, highly praised comments, are almost a watery voice of support. "The words are not rough", "Just tell some facts, what is there to break the defense". 
Although Zhang Xuefeng's remarks seem to be aimed at liberal arts students, what often floats in the front row is comments such as "the most favorable for Zhang Xuefeng is the liberal arts student". Some people want to get ahead of the liberal arts students, saying that this is pure bias.
However, liberal arts students were in a hurry to take their seats, and the comment area turned into a large-scale grievance scene. They have been beaten by society and no longer break their defenses, but they feel a little relieved to be understood. When there is nothing to do, I feel that the professions of lawyers, advertising planners, and financial analysts are not only glamorous, but also elite industries in the traditional contextIt can also reflect its own value, and earn rich returns and social recognition by relying on its professional barriers and professionalism. After entering the industry, he gradually decharmed, and there were countless trivialities on the back of the title. 
The more you go up, the more you discover the importance of connections, resources, and service awareness. Tell stories that investors are willing to hear, and do everything possible to serve Party A well.
At the end of the universe is sales and service, whether it is smooth sailing depends on whether you can put your ownSkills, relationships, emotional intelligence, industry accumulation, sweetness, amount of wine, and the ability to see people serve dishesSell for a good price. This is still a small group of people who have won the ticket to the "high-level workplace" through fierce fighting. 
The little green old man does not work overtime today, and most of them becameEight in the Law of Twenty-Eight, in all walks of life. Those who study law can't get into the red circle office, and after the small workshop law firm in the residential building is busy, helping clients in divorce lawsuits to deal with housework outside the law;Learning marketing and public relations is not a business plan that amazes the industry and makes consumers excited, but the daily work is to connect with the best and bloggers, send gift boxes and new products, and maintain relationships. 
More commonly, however, there is simply no suitable job to be found. The knowledge learned in school has very little place in real life, and the final destination is the "service industry". After graduating from the "Moon" major such as Latin American Comparative Literature and Editing and Publishing, he went to the live broadcast room to be a "sixpence".
When I was in school, I studied phenomenology and structuralism, and I debated 300 rounds for Saussure's words, and after I went to work, I only thought about converting the three tenants who showed me the house today.
Anyway, no matter what kind of work is done, it is actually the role of a waiter. It's better to go back to basics and embrace the chivalrous service industryAlleviate endless internal friction with light physical labor. So young people began to yearn for brushing sauce and flouring meat floss shellfish, and going to the milk tea shop to cook taro balls and pack small ingredients. 
In the past two years, the employment environment has been cold, and the difficulty of finding a job for liberal arts students has evolved from difficult to hellish. Liberal arts students who post on social ** asking if they want to accept an offer always get a reply of "good for liberal arts". Unemployed after graduation, barely employed is also a position with a low entry threshold and uncertain prospects, which has become the real experience of many people.
Liberal arts students laughed at themselves on the Internet, and studying liberal arts was the original sinChoosing a major in liberal arts is like choosing a seat on the Titanic, no matter how much effort you put into it, it's a dead end. The sharing of liberal arts transcoding experience and how to find a job in the liberal arts have been praised as traffic passwords.
Zhang Xuefeng's "belittlement" of liberal arts is actually just a substitute for many people, pouring out the accumulated helplessness, confusion and resentment.
I complained on the Internet that the volume was too small and not enough to bring feeling, and tens of millions of big Internet celebrities "spoke wildly".In disguise, he slapped the big guy in the face of this society.
When everyone is a boiled frog in warm water, the person who is hit by the label does not feel offended, but has a refreshing feeling of flipping the table.
Orange dog horse what plum.
Although he was talking about liberal arts, people who studied science and engineering were also sweating profusely, saying that they were also doing licking work. "Unlike science and engineering, if you don't lick it, you can still make money by crafting", such an imagination may only exist in the imagination of the workplace.
On the one hand,Many people with science and engineering backgrounds also have to connect with customers, and they have to consciously cultivate as Party B into a hard skill to fight monsters and upgrade。Some people think that science and engineering are more involved in data and instruments, and the standards are common to societyLiberal arts, on the other hand, generally deal with people, and the standards are subjectively set by the other party. However, whether the standards are hard or soft, they are all set by people, some are written in black and white as industry norms, and there are also a large number of oral agreements that need to be polished countless times. Civil engineering workers draw construction drawings, and it is not surprising that they have to follow Party A's intentions and revise the ten and eight editions.
Mechanical workers design parts, all to the needs of Party A, not to their own will for the transfer.
Even if it sounds like a high-sounding job like training a large AI model, algorithm engineers have to consider market responsiveness. Being able to find large customers who are willing to pay and embedding the model into the actual operation process is the ultimate point.
To put it bluntly, whether it is a low-tech enterprise or a technology enterprise that contracts daily consumables, whether it is facing C-end users or B-end usersAs long as it participates in market competition and needs Party A to provide revenue, the nature of the service is inevitable. If you start with the first.
From a scientific point of view of the nature of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, the vast majority of young people who have graduated from bachelor's and master's degrees have indeed flowed to the tertiary industry service industry.
On the other hand, even if your position is not directly connected with customers, even if you are Party A,There will always be other forms of "customers" in the work, such as leaders。Their words and deeds dominate the atmosphere of the entire work area, determine your promotion and salary increase, and affect your daily mood at work. A small thing that is not handled to the satisfaction of the leader may be put in small shoes for the next few months. I didn't show enough loyalty to the dog, and I didn't do where the leader pointed to hit where, I'm sorry, this year's performance can only be given to C.
As for some people who think that licking or not licking is not in the arts and sciences, but in their own ability, it can only be said that you are lucky and have not suffered from interpersonal relationships in the workplace. Of course, the ceiling in the workplace is linked to ability, but many people have already relied on their own professional skills to break outI was so tormented by the network of relationships that I couldn't break free from that I lost my strength。Leaders who like to engage in office politics and have a big temper are more expensive than unreasonable customers. In this sense, ordinary workers have their own service targets, and who is not a person who is deeply involved in the service industry.
It is undeniable that Zhang Xuefeng's series of speeches are a facet of advocating instrumental rationality and human alienation.
But under the double blow of huge pressure and narrow ventilation holes, it is a luxury to think about the freedom and infinite possibilities of lifeHow much money can be sold after alienation is more relevant。Some critics think that he is too utilitarian and everything is employment-oriented and job-oriented.
In the comment area, "good noble remarks" were put on the front row, and "making a living first, then seeking others" was considered the path of ordinary people.
Below the title "Zhang Xuefeng's extreme remarks, it's time to stop", the audience's feedback is "Some people's remarks against the sky should be stopped".
Some professors said that the current university liberal arts education is seriously out of touch with society, and new liberal arts needs to be built urgentlySome professors also defined Zhang Xuefeng as a typical "performance artist", saying that he is familiar with "licking traffic".
However, I have heard this voice too many times before, and I can't even play the role of tickling. In the current ** environment, this latter statement seems to be in a different camp from the young people who have been played with by the times. Everything is slowly sinking, and the drive for innovation is dimmingThe novelty of young people and new horizons are losing their bargaining power
New businesses that are not profitable for the time being have been cut, and departments that are not pragmatic enough have been laid off, and the testing ground for young people to show their skills has been visibly narrowed.
The ability to obey the tasks assigned by the leader and the body that can stay up late is the hard currency.
Zhang Xuefeng was scolded and praised, and the young man was clear. "The professor has a point, and I support Zhang Xuefeng. ”
I'm talking about bread, you talk to me about ideals". Everyone regards Zhang Xuefeng's logic as a factual judgment, and the voice of criticism as a value judgment.
Then in the comment section, follow the principle of "don't override the judgment of facts" to fight back.
Maybe it is Zhang Xuefeng who is maintained on the surface, but what he really cares about in his heart is whether the value can be more grounded and whether the truth will become lighter.
A few days ago, I swiped a blogger at 1 a.m. in Xi'erqi, where a major Beijing Internet factory is stationed, and randomly interviewed migrant workers who had just gotten off work. She asked many of the interviewees the same question, "Do you have any ideals or goals?"”
More than half of them thought for a while, and finally fell silent;A small half of them said to stay healthy and take care of themselves. I didn't hear the stars, the sea, the poems and the distance, and the tired face said "It's okay, it's another day".
Code farmer service product manager, product manager service director of the product line to which the service belongs, director of the service business department, supervisor of the service superior. In the end, they serve the No. 1 position of each company, and they serve APP users, advertisers who invest in streams, and fundraisers. The latter also have their own corresponding service objects, and the difference lies in the amount of economic benefits that can be leveraged by their own services. The flat management that large factories once prided themselves on, and everyone can take the lead in new projects, has gradually given way to a hierarchical system of reporting at all levels in the context of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and shifting from offense to defense. Many people who step on the last train of the Internet to enter the market, it is becoming more and more difficult to find their own meaning from work, and the sense of service of screws is becoming stronger and stronger. I can't help but think of a not-so-"correct" joke.
After graduation, the liberal arts woman went to work as an anchor, and the science and engineering man went to run takeaways;The anchor orders takeout, and the delivery man watches the live broadcast;The anchor pays for the errands, and the delivery man gives a reward.
It constitutes a perfect closed loop, and the service chain and the employment chain are occluded.
A few years ago, a life motto was very popular, keep your feet on the ground and look up at the starry sky.
Now that the second half of the sentence has lost its sound, the sore neck can no longer bear the weight of raising its head;The ground in the first half of the sentence is precarious, and everyone looks around like polar bears on the melting ice floe, hoping to find the shore before falling overboard.
The things that Zhang Xuefeng's life guide never mentioned, the distant cries and the tremors of the soul, seemed to have sunk to the bottom.
said that the examples given by his one-sided netizens were so far away from ordinary people, and even made his views fall into a one-sided perspective.
It's not that I want to prove anything for Zhang Xuefeng, I just think it's hard to say to a person on the ice floes don't lick, the crown will fall. At this point, a picture suddenly comes to mind.
In a particularly cold outdoor area, stick out your tongue and lick the popsicle, the tongue will stick tightly to it, and the person and the popsicle will become a whole. You can only stay in your current state, wait for the temperature to rise, gradually melt, and then take your tongue down. Otherwise you will get a bloody tongue. As for why we want to lick it, I can only say that I hope we will never be hungry people who can only feed our hunger with popsicles. And for those who are not willing to lick against their will for the sake of temporary gains and losses, I wish them peace of mind and satisfaction. Most people are also willing to secretly cheer for such "emerging birds", and their existence is the hope that the workplace environment may still improve.
