two months ago, wu jiaxin, a candidate from luzhou, sichuan, checked his college entrance examination results - 605 points in the science subject, which was enough to get him into some 211 universities. but for him, who wanted to stay in the province, this result was a bit embarrassing. he was worried that he would not be able to study in his ideal major at a top university in sichuan and would not be able to compete with others in the future.
wu jiaxin's father, wu nansong, is a primary school teacher. in fact, long before the college entrance examination results came out, wu nansong had set his sights on the sichuan province's targeted training plan for undergraduates in urgently needed and scarce majors for rural revitalization (referred to as the rural revitalization special plan) to be implemented in 2021. in the end, after some ideological struggle, his son wu jiaxin resolutely applied for the urban and rural planning major at mianyang normal university and was successfully admitted.

although mianyang normal university is not a 211 university, wu jiaxin is quite satisfied with his choice. "i will have a stable job in the future." he said frankly that his father is the only one working in the family, and he has a 5-year-old brother. this can reduce the burden on the family and also allow him to return to his hometown to contribute.
in early august, zhang hua, party secretary of the school of urban and rural construction and planning of mianyang normal university, and his party rushed to luzhou and personally delivered the admission letter to wu jiaxin. according to zhang hua, the school's urban and rural planning major was included in the enrollment catalog of the sichuan provincial rural revitalization special plan for the first time this year. the school will adopt a "one-life, one-policy" approach to cultivate students' professional abilities.
my hometown is in luzhou countryside
i had good grades in high school and wanted to study at sichuan university and university of electronic science and technology of china.
wu jiaxin is about to turn 19. his hometown is a small village in xuyong county, luzhou city, sichuan province. his father, wu nansong, is a primary school teacher in the town. when he was in primary school, he was in his father's class. influenced by his father, he has been a studious child since he was young and a role model for other children to learn from.
when wu jiaxin was 10 years old, wu nansong bought a house in xuyong county and the family of three moved to the county. after graduating from primary school, wu jiaxin went to junior high school in xuyong county and his grades were always among the best. in the high school entrance examination, he was admitted to lu county no. 2 middle school with excellent results.
lu county is 150 kilometers away from xuyong county, and the only option is to live on campus. at that time, the school had a monthly vacation, and wu jiaxin could only go home once a month. for wu jiaxin, although it was far from home, his thirst for knowledge made him have no regrets.
"there are many children from xuyong county studying in high school in lu county, so we rented a bus together. we pick up the children and take them back to xuyong during the monthly vacation and send them back together when they return to school." wu nansong recalled that he had relatively little time to accompany his children during the three years of high school, but the children set goals for themselves.
sichuan university and the university of electronic science and technology of china were wu jiaxin's goals in his senior year of high school. he recalled to red star news that he wanted to study mathematics, medicine, and computer science, and his grades in high school were good enough to get into these two universities.
college entrance examination science score 605
he was once confused about whether to choose a 211 university or a "directed student".
wu jiaxin is not very tall and wears a pair of glasses. but after the college entrance examination this year, he felt that his performance was not ideal, and his estimated score was more than 590 points. he was sad for a long time because it meant that his goal of sprinting to sichuan university and university of electronic science and technology of china might not be achieved. but wu nansong did not put pressure on him, but comforted him more.
in his spare time, wu nansong studied the college entrance examination application form and selected several universities as alternatives based on his son's estimated scores.
while researching his choices, he was attracted by the sichuan province's targeted training program for undergraduates in urgently needed majors for rural revitalization, which will be implemented in 2021. first, candidates admitted to the program receive subsidies every year; second, they will have stable jobs after graduation.
wu nansong's wife used to work as a migrant worker, but she became a housewife after giving birth to their youngest son five years ago. the financial burden of the family fell on wu nansong alone. if wu jiaxin applied for the special rural revitalization plan, it would be enough to ease the financial pressure on the whole family.
so, will his son agree? wu nansong was unsure. because the rural revitalization special plan has an important condition that graduates must be assigned to jobs according to the agreement and the service period must not be less than 6 years. wu nansong knew that if his son applied for the plan, it would mean that he would be rooted in the grassroots for at least 6 years after graduation. he did not want to restrict his son's wishes and future development.
when the college entrance examination results came out, wu nansong and his son checked the results together: 605 points in science. this score is enough to get into some 211 colleges. the father and son sat together and talked about college entrance examination aspirations and future development. wu nansong specifically mentioned the rural revitalization special plan to his son. he did not mention the burden on the family, but only told his son that he would have a stable job after graduation. he also told his son that if he chose, he should be down-to-earth and rooted in the grassroots.
"from 18 to 22 years old, it is the age to know oneself and explore the world. why should we determine the future development direction now and narrow our path?" wu jiaxin felt a little entangled and conflicted.
apply for "directed students" at mianyang normal university and be admitted
there are subsidies every year, and the school adopts a "one-life, one-policy" approach to training.
wu nansong did not make a decision for his son. wu jiaxin was also thinking about it. the score of 605 was not low. although he could apply for some 211 universities, it would be difficult to achieve his ideal major. moreover, if he could not go to the ideal major of the top university in sichuan, he was worried that he would not be able to compete with others in the future. of course, he also thought about taking the postgraduate entrance examination in the future, but he would have to postpone his work time, which made the sensible wu jiaxin give up this idea.
after discussing with his father, wu jiaxin resolutely applied for the urban and rural planning major at mianyang normal university and was successfully admitted. "i will have a stable job in the future," wu jiaxin said frankly. "my father is the only one working at home, and i have a 5-year-old brother. this way i can reduce the burden on my family and also make contributions to my hometown."
in early august, zhang hua, secretary of the party committee of the school of urban and rural construction and planning of mianyang normal university, and his party rushed to xuyong county, luzhou, and personally delivered the admission letter to wu jiaxin.

zhang hua told red star news that the school's urban and rural planning major was included in the sichuan province rural revitalization special plan enrollment catalog for the first time this year. admitted candidates enjoy funding subsidies during their time at school, at a standard subsidy of 11,000 yuan per student per year. at the same time, admitted candidates sign a targeted employment training agreement in accordance with relevant regulations, and graduates must be employed in accordance with the agreement. the service period must not be less than 6 years. during the minimum service period, superior departments and other cities and counties may not lend or transfer them for any reason.
"the number of places for the rural revitalization program is limited, and 605 points is also a high score for our school to admit. we have now formulated a plan and will adopt a 'one life, one policy' approach to cultivate students' professional capabilities so that they can better serve the local area after graduation." zhang hua said.
after receiving the admission letter, wu jiaxin enrolled in a driving school, hoping to get a driver's license before school starts in september. he said that this is also a skill. for future development, he is ready to use his professional knowledge to serve the development of his hometown.
