The Military-industrial Scientific Research System of the Academic Master Chapter 302

Chapter 302: No way to keep a low profile (two-in-one)

The dinner party exceeded almost everyone's expectations.

Nearly all of the people whose names I often heard on the news network appeared.

Of course, Chang Haonan, who already knew this period of history, was not very surprised by this.

Due to various complex historical and practical reasons, although China in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China followed the Soviet Union in many aspects, it did not establish a complete and rigorous merit system like the latter.

　　Not even an army, let alone ordinary citizens.

Except for the three major medals awarded in 1955—the August 1st Medal, the Medal of Independence and Freedom, and the Medal of Liberation—China had never officially established any medals until 2011 in the previous life.

For a long time, the only merits awarded in an institutional and standardized manner were first-, second- and third-class merit medals issued within the military and police systems.

Subject to jurisdictional issues, it is impossible for non-military and police officers to obtain credit even if they have great achievements.

You can only use other methods to hit the sidelines.

That's when Chang Haonan got the somewhat weird first-class "Bat Hunting Operation" commemorative medal.

According to regulations, first-class merit is an honorary title.

However, the awarding of honorary titles is also not systematic, and an exclusive title is often customized based on the recipient's deeds.

In a good way, this can be regarded as a privilege.

But at the operational level, it will actually cause a lot of trouble.

For example, there is no way to intuitively reflect the matter of receiving an honorary title.

　　You can't carry your certificate with you wherever you go.

For another example, if a person obtains two honorary titles, there is no provision stipulating which of them comes first and who comes last.

In principle, there is no distinction between high and low honorary titles.

However, both in perception and in reality, there is obviously still a gap between the "Patriotic Army Elite Model" and the "Volunteer Army First-Class Hero", which are both honorary titles.

As for honors outside the military and police system, it is even more confusing. Some award-winning organizations even only issue awards without keeping records, resulting in many honors that sound noble but actually have no value at all.

This has caused a psychological gap for the winners themselves. What's more terrible is that it has spawned many criminals who take advantage of this loophole to commit fraud.

In an era of insufficient information, leaving a province is similar to going abroad. I said in Province A that I was the recipient of the **** honor in Province B, and there was no way to check it.

This situation lasted until the late 1980s, when it finally began to change.

The All-China Federation of Trade Unions has established the first medal that is systematically awarded to all citizens—the National May Day Labor Medal.

It also stipulates that among the winners, the proportion of front-line grassroots workers cannot be less than one-third.

The Chinese Youth May 4th Medal that Chang Haonan and the others received was the second one.

In this special period when people's minds are changing, launching a standardized national merit system will undoubtedly be conducive to ideological and spiritual construction.

In particular, youth is a top priority.

Therefore, this first May Fourth Medal awarding ceremony must be grand and far beyond the standard.

Hence, not only were the leaders in attendance astonishing, but also the media who came with them were all well-known.

Obviously, this matter will receive unprecedented publicity.

In short, when the entire celebration was over and Chang Haonan returned home, it was already close to midnight that day.

He looked at the certificates and medals on the table, took out his mobile phone and entered a series of phone numbers.

This is Chang Haonan's personal habit. He will not open champagne at halftime until everything is finally settled.

Now that the ceremony has been completed, it is natural to inform the family of the good news.

But looking at the time displayed in the upper right corner of the phone screen, he hesitated and still did not press the dial button.

It's too late, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

After several hours of excitement, as soon as you relax, the first thing that comes over you is naturally exhaustion.

In addition, he didn't have a good rest last night because he had to prepare his acceptance speech and familiarize himself with the ceremony process, so Chang Haonan just changed his clothes and lay down on the bed to sleep.

At this time in 1997, even wired networks were not yet popular in China, and mobile networks were a thing whose concept was not very clear. Therefore, it would not be like in the future. After the ceremony here, the media over there would immediately release the online version of the news and put it on the Internet. Hot search.

At this time, Huaxia TV had just completed a major equipment upgrade and replacement. It was in the process of switching from recorded news to live news, and its response speed was also not that fast.

Generally speaking, newspapers and radio are the fastest responders to news.

Therefore, the next morning, when Zhou Li, who was far away in Liucheng, was the first to arrive at the office, she simply cleaned her work station, poured hot water and habitually threw a few newspapers inserted on the door handle on the table. , the whole person was stunned instantly.

She accidentally caught a glimpse of the headline of one of the newspapers:

“The All-China Youth Federation of the Communist Youth League of China decided to award six young people the “Chinese Youth May 4th Medal” for the first time”

Of course, if it were just like this, it wouldn't make Zhou Li lose her composure.

But there is a line of slightly smaller words below the large and conspicuous title—

Chang Hao, Nan Qin Wengui, Li Bin, Liu Xiaogong, and Fangrong of the Eastern Song Dynasty won the honor.

In the officially released news, the order of the names of the six people was changed.

　　　It is no longer in the order of the strokes of the surname, but in the order of the medals received.

What Chang Haonan got was the No. 1 May 4th Medal.

So it is ranked first.

Zhou Li put the cup on the table, took out her glasses from her bag, put them on, and checked again.

This name at the top of the list...why does it feel a bit familiar?

Oh, it seems that my son's name is Chang Haonan...

The news is accompanied by photos of the winners.

But because it is a black and white photo printed with ink, I can only say...

It can be seen that they are six humanoid creatures.

However, from the body shape, Zhou Li felt that the man standing in front of a twin-engine propeller plane in the first photo seemed to be her son.

Then she glanced at the text again.

“Chang Haonan, male, born in 1976, from Liucheng, Liaoning Province, student at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics…”

Obviously, everything is correct.

The huge surprise made Zhou Li feel dizzy, and she sat down directly on the chair.

A few seconds later, not believing her eyes, she pulled out a few more newspapers from underneath.

"Guangming Daily"

Same news, front page headlines.

"China Youth Daily"

Same news, on the upper right side of the front page, one of the double headlines.

"Reference News"

Still the same news, still the front page headlines…

Obviously, she was not hallucinating.

After the huge surprise, Zhou Li felt calm instead.

Even a little panicked.

Since she was very young, Chang Haonan has always been very competitive, which is the pride of both her and Chang Yuanchao.

But this time, I was a little too ambitious. Zhou Li doesn't know yet what level this Chinese Youth May 4th Medal is.

But it is obviously not an ordinary thing for all newspapers to report it with front-page headlines.

She subconsciously wanted to contact Chang Haonan directly to confirm the matter and send congratulations, but for a moment she didn't know how to express it...

As time passed by, the previously deserted campus gradually became lively.

Zhou Li decided to take a few classes today first.

Chang Haonan's achievements are mainly due to his own efforts. As a parent, the help he can provide after his children go to college is really limited.

She secretly warned herself that at this time, she must not get carried away.

As the mother of a person who has been on the front pages of major newspapers, I still have to be more reserved.

Otherwise, you will be embarrassing your son.

However, there are some things that she can't just keep a low profile if she wants to...

A colleague who almost arrived at work on time and was almost late came in and mentioned this matter to Zhou Li who was busy preparing lessons:

“Teacher Zhou, on the way to work today, I listened to the radio and said that there was a big prize given out yesterday, and there was a winner with the same name as your son...”

Chang Haonan, as an outstanding graduate four years ago, still retains some popularity in the school.

The other party's words instantly drew all the attention in the office to Zhou Li.

“Teacher Zhou's son?”

“I remember your name is Chang Haonan? He was admitted to Beijing Airlines from our school, right?”

Soon someone noticed the pile of newspapers that almost no one was interested in.

“The headline on the front page of today's newspaper seems to be the same thing... The Chinese Youth May 4th Medal seems to be a very high-end award.”

“Let me see…it's really called Chang Haonan…”

At this point, Zhou Li had no choice but to raise her head, take a deep breath, and then replied in the same tone as usual:

“It is indeed the same as my son's name.”

“That's him.”

Zhou Li's answer instantly silenced the noisy office just now.

　　Including the colleague who first mentioned this matter just now, everyone looked at her with almost simultaneous expressions of astonishment.

The former was just looking for a topic to chat about, and he never thought that Chang Haonan in the news was actually Zhou Li's son.

After all, when you listen to the radio on the way to work, you naturally don't listen very seriously.

　　Not to mention the other people who were just joining in the fun.

Each office has only one copy of the newspaper ordered by the work unit, and no one will read it at all. Only the first person who comes to work will take a glance at it when he takes it off.

So for a moment, everyone even thought that Zhou Li was playing along with their joke.

However, at this moment, the office door was pushed open violently, and a lean, panting middle-aged man in a suit appeared at the door.

It's their principal, Jiang Zhichao.

“Principal Jiang?”

Someone shouted.

Jiang Zhichao took a few breaths and walked up to Zhou Li in three steps at a time:

“Teacher Zhou, Comrade Zhou Li, and classmate Chang Haonan received the May 4th Medal. Why didn't you tell your work unit about such a big happy event..."

OK, now there is no need to doubt it.

It must be true.

After all, Zhou Li's name has been changed to you...

As a principal, Jiang Zhichao is quite satisfactory, neither good nor bad.

In the six or seven years since he took over as principal, although the school has been steadily declining, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a problem caused by the general environment and has little to do with any individual.

The only thing worth mentioning is that this person prefers to flatter others, but generally speaking, this has nothing to do with ordinary teachers in the school.

It's just that today's situation is obviously unusual.

Because the person he was trying to flirt with became Zhou Li...

Everyone's expressions instantly switched to shock.

Of course, there is also envy.

After all, those who are still working as ordinary teachers at their age, no matter how high their professional titles are, have basically reached the end of their career. Therefore, most of their thoughts and expectations are placed on the next generation.

Although I don't usually compete openly with my children, a little bit of comparison is still unavoidable.

It's just that this time, Zhou Li's next generation is really a bit foul...

After a short pause, Jiang Zhichao continued:

“Well, you see, I am not qualified as a principal. It wasn't until Director Shen of the Education Bureau called my office that I found out that our school had such an alumnus with a long history...”

“Uh,...Principal Jiang, I actually only found out about this matter after reading the newspaper in the morning. Xiaonan didn't notify me either. I guess he is still resting and didn't have time to contact us..."

Facing Jiang Zhichao with a smile on his face, Zhou Li didn't do anything special.

She has a clear understanding of herself. Even after seeing the report that her son won the award, she has never thought that mother is more valuable than son.

But this obviously did not trouble Jiang Zhichao, and he immediately changed his perspective:

“He is neither arrogant nor impetuous in the face of honors. He is worthy of being a son trained by Teacher Zhou..."

In short, after a series of rainbow farts, Principal Jiang finally expressed his intention:

“Teacher Zhou, I remember... Xiao Chang should graduate from undergraduate degree this year?”

Unconsciously, even the name Chang Haonan was changed.

“That's right, but he has already passed the selection process for postgraduate students who are exempt from the examination and will continue to study for postgraduate studies in the second half of the year.”

Zhou Li's inadvertent answer stabbed the hearts of all her colleagues in the office.

Those who have older children can only shake their heads helplessly and wonder why other people's children can be so defiant.

As for those whose children are younger and have not yet taken the college entrance examination, they are already thinking about how to learn from Zhou Li.

However, Jiang Zhichao's focus is not here:

"What I mean is that the summer vacation for the graduating class should be much longer than usual. If your Xiaonan is free during the summer vacation, I wonder if you can let him go back to school and give a message to the juniors?"

Hearing this request, to be honest, Zhou Li was moved.

As a mother, when her child has achieved such a proud achievement, she naturally hopes that he can return home in fine clothes and make the whole family look good.

However, her reason still prevented her from nodding directly, but slowed down her hand:

"This... I can convey this to him for you, but Xiaonan is an adult after all, and he is also very busy outside. Even during the Chinese New Year this year, he only stayed at home for less than a week, so I can't make this decision for him. ”

This impeccable answer made Jiang Zhichao unable to continue to dwell on this topic, so he had to change the subject:

“That's fine. The school also wants to respect Xiao Chang's own opinions.”

“But Teacher Zhou, there's one more thing. Director Shen of the Education Bureau will come in person to deliver the good news later, so I would like to see... can you link up the morning class with other teachers?”

This request was reasonable, and a math teacher next to me volunteered to take over the two free classes in the morning.

Looking at Zhou Li and Jiang Zhichao leaving, a teacher who was about the same age as the former sighed with emotion:

“It would be great if my son could be as successful as Mr. Zhou's son... Mr. Zhou, you have a good way to teach your children...”

“This is not what I admire most about Teacher Zhou.”

Another slightly younger teacher sitting in the corner followed and said:

“If you were put in Teacher Zhou's position today, when Principal Jiang asked the children to come back to speak, would you be able to hold back from nodding like she did?”

A question made the entire office fall into silence again.

After a while, someone sighed again:

“Teacher Zhou, you have a good way of teaching your children...”

Thanks to the book friend [who is just a runner] for the leader who rewarded me. It's just that the end of this month is really busy, so the update will be completed next month!
