Donnie Yen (right) and Nicholas Tse in the movie Fury. Movie content Wrath of Fire revolves around the tense confrontation between crime boss Khau Cuong Ngao (played by Ta Dinh Phong) and the leader of the crime team Truong Sung Bang (played by Donnie Yen). Initially, the character Khau Cuong Ao was a good friend of Inspector Truong Chong Bang. But for personal gain, Khau Cuong Ngao colluded with criminals and became a murderer. Recently, when the film was about to be released, the Hong Kong martial arts star (China) recalled the films that made a name, including Ip Man . The actor remembers Mike Tyson’s heavy punch when filming Ip Man 3 (2015). Recalling the scene above, Donnie Yen said he thought he would have died if he hadn’t dodged the blow in time. “Just a little carelessness, punches can be fatal,” Donnie Yen told SCMP. Donnie Yen and Mike Tyson. “When I first met Mike Tyson, I was very emotional. I don’t think I’ll be acting with an idol. I was really worried at first. I’m afraid he can’t control the force of the punches because Mike is actually not a professional actor. I was very cautious,” said Donnie Yen. When filming Ip Man 3 , Donnie Yen always considers this a life-and-death boxing match. He recalled his fight with Mike Tyson in the action movie. For a moment, Mike’s punch grazed Donnie Yen’s head, even coming close to touching the Hong Kong actor’s hair, before the punch hit the sandbag behind. “I had to immediately lower my head to avoid an accident. He used a lot of force, even all of his energy, to throw the punch. As Mike approached, I felt like a big truck was coming towards me. Eight years later, I still remember that dangerous moment vividly,” film star Ip Man told SCMP. In the movie Ip Man 3 , Donnie Yen as Master Ip Man, this time used his martial arts skills to protect good against evil. That’s why Ip Man became an enemy of Frank – a gang boss specializing in looting and oppressing civilians in 1950s Hong Kong played by Mike Tyson. The fight scene between Donnie Yen and Mike Tyson in the movie Ip Man 3. The scene of Ip Man vs Frank impressed the audience and was considered the most “expensive” scene in Ip Man 3 when the audience had the opportunity to admire the high-low competition between modern boxing and traditional Wing Chun martial arts. system of China. Talking about Mike Tyson, Donnie Yen shared: “He is too famous in the world boxing world. People may not know who Donnie Yen is, but everyone knows Mike Tyson. That’s why I always stay focused when duel with him. Just a little loophole, I will pay the price. Mike Tyson’s attack speed is very fast, I also dodge quickly but still feel like I have just narrowly escaped.” Meanwhile, Mike Tyson also used many words of praise for his colleague. “This is my first time acting in a martial arts movie. On the set, I completely followed Donnie Yen’s guidance,” Mike said. After an encounter with “the scariest man on the planet”, Donnie Yen said that Wrath of Fire is the action film that makes him most satisfied in his decades of filming. Quoc Tiep (th)

If to choose one of the weirdest and most humorous martial arts in the world, perhaps Yellow Bamboo (Yellow Bamboo) on the beautiful island of Bali, Indonesia. According to the website Skepdic.com, Yellow Bamboo was once considered an art of self-development, health protection and healing. In fact, it is a martial art whose creators have made extravagant claims that Yellow Bamboo can use “universal energy” (in Yellow Bamboo called “Chi”) to scare away and neutralize the attackers. Until now, the question of who founded Yellow Bamboo is still a mystery. But many Indonesians consider Yellow Bamboo to be a martial art or a mystical cult with supernatural powers. They believe that in order to use “the energy of the universe”, the most important thing is to have the power of faith. On the Yellow Bamboo website it is stated that this martial art has more than 30,000 followers worldwide. In addition to curing many diseases, Yellow Bamboo can help the practitioner knock down opponents without having to touch them. Even those who practice Yellow Bamboo also claim that they can… fly into the air like in the martial arts movie. According to the Skepdic.com website, many practitioners of the martial art Yellow Bamboo have been spamming internet forums to attract more new students to join their organizations. Although it completely lacks scientific basis and carries only spiritual meaning, Yellow Bamboo can spread to a very distant country, Australia. Previously, a martial artist named Peter Dellys, who studied the Brazilian martial art Jiu Jitsu, also practiced Yellow Bamboo. The character was controversial after a “mysterious martial arts” performance with Fraser Johnston, another Jiu Jitsu practitioner, on a beach in Perth, Australia. This is the same technique as “electrical martial arts” in China or Japan, Vietnam… that is, knocking down the opponent without physical contact. Of course, many people think that this is a “fake martial artist” and a product of theatrical trick, not completely real. Two masters of the Yellow Bamboo martial art in Bali, Indonesia. Those who practice Yellow Bamboo say that in order to practice this martial art, practitioners will first have to perform an initiation ceremony called “pasupati”. Every time a new level is reached, this ritual is repeated. Every time they practice, the trainees have to…” imagine and practice feeling the power of the light of the universe entering your body “. The followers of Yellow Bamboo also think that the best way is that they should practice on the full moon nights of every month to be able to gather the most energy of the universe! THE FUCKING LUCK CLEARED CREATING SUCCESSFULLY In February 2004, followers of the Yellow Bamboo sect released a press release, claiming that the masters of this martial art can demonstrate the ability to knock opponents down without physical contact and can win the “$1 Million Mystery Challenge” prize (award established by the James Randi Education Foundation in the US). After that, a martial artist who is considered a “master” of Yellow Bamboo performed the challenge under the verification of the organizers, and was assessed through a number of quite modern machines and equipment. However, the “masters” of Yellow Bamboo completely failed and even this challenge turned into a very rare “trick” for the world martial arts village. According to the website Skepdic.com, a martial artist named Serengen performed the challenge. A representative of the James Randi Education Foundation named Joko Tri stood to verify Serengen’s abilities. Some foreigners also practice Yellow Bamboo. However, instead of performing the challenge in good lighting conditions, Serengen chose the time after dark. To perform this challenge, Joko Tri will run threateningly and then Serengen will use “supernatural powers” to defeat Joko Tri from afar. Instead of Joko Tri running alone, 3 or 4 other members of Yellow Bamboo followed. Then, in the dark, when the camera equipment could not shoot clearly, the members of Yellow Bamboo used a… gun to attack, making Joko Tri stunned and fell down. After that, Serengen and the members of Yellow Bamboo confirmed that they had successfully completed the challenge, but later on, this group’s trick was exposed and this became the most tragic “joke” in the village. martial. Contrary to a part of the Indonesian people and a few in the world who still believe in the “super powers” of Yellow Bamboo martial arts, so far, most people think that this is just a “fake martial arts” thing. , completely not real but just taking advantage of the blind faith of the disciples in this martial art.

Both the “social division of labor theory” and the “big brother” construction theory are in the past. In modern society, what is needed is a combination of liberal arts and sciences, and integrated talents who can comprehensively use all aspects of knowledge.

Rather than indulging in the unrealistic disputes over the arts and sciences, it is better to think about whether our current education has cultivated children’s ability to face modern issues. The comprehensive educational significance of the liberal arts and sciences is to help students build a variety of frameworks for viewing problems, consider the rationality of solutions from different perspectives, weigh the pros and cons of all parties, and assume their responsibilities.

Recently, the official WeChat account of the central bank published a working paper entitled “Awareness of my country’s Population Transition and Countermeasures”. The paper was written by four PhDs in economics. One of the reasons for the middle-income trap is that there are too many liberal arts students”, causing an uproar.

▲ The central bank’s working paper “Awareness of my country’s Demographic Transition and Countermeasures” puts forward at the end that “we must attach importance to science and engineering education.

This view has caused many netizens to discuss the pros and cons of liberal arts students in personal job promotion, social and economic development, and so on. Liberal arts students have a long history of despising each other. There is a saying in “Siege” that “science students look down on liberal arts students”. Under the background of pursuing the development and revitalization of science and technology, science students often occupy a certain high ground, but the right to speak is usually in the hands of liberal arts students. The two sides are divided into camps, you come and I go, arguing against each other. However, are things really so clear-cut?

Not to mention that the economics studied by the four Ph.Ds is regarded as liberal arts in the current discipline classification of most universities. If their aforementioned views are valid, does it mean that the four PhDs in economics themselves are “superfluous”? Just from the current situation and trend of education reform, how do researchers accurately define liberal arts students and science students? Dividing talents into liberal arts students and science students, and judging whether talents are beneficial to national development based on their disciplinary background is worthy of reflection.

▌The current education trend is that the arts and sciences are not divided into subjects

The division of liberal arts and sciences is an education system implemented in some countries and regions. The teaching courses are divided into liberal arts and sciences, allowing students to choose and conduct separate education. In the context of Chinese or the Chinese character cultural circle, the liberal arts (or the full name of humanities and social sciences) refers to the subjects of politics, economics, culture and other related knowledge related to human thoughts; while the sciences are actually “science and engineering” The abbreviation is biased towards natural sciences and technology, where science includes mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and other natural science subjects. The engineering disciplines include engineering disciplines such as machinery, civil engineering, and architecture. Although it is a collective term, there is a difference between science and engineering. The science subjects focus on theoretical research, and the engineering subjects focus on practical operations. Or in other words, “science trains scientists, engineering trains engineers.”

The sub-discipline of liberal arts and science is a historical product. Lu Xiaodong, the deputy dean of Yuanpei College of Peking University, pointed out: “The ideological foundation of the sub-discipline of liberal arts is Adam Smith’s theory of social division of labor. , It can improve the efficiency of the whole society. The direct reason for the implementation of liberal arts and sciences after the founding of the People’s Republic of China is that the new China fully imitated the era of the former Soviet Union’s “big brother”—the college entrance examination system and the higher education system are also inevitable.”

More than two hundred years have passed since the publication of the book “The Wealth of Nations”, which put forward the “Social Division of Labor Theory”. With the maturity of modern pedagogy, the development concept of putting people first rather than treating people as tools is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the division of arts and sciences has been more and more questioned. The current education system has begun to reform such divisions, such as in the college entrance examination. Cancel the traditional distinction between liberal arts and science.

With the expansion of the pilot reform of the college entrance examination, Shanghai and Zhejiang have no distinction between liberal arts and sciences since 2017; Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, and Hainan have no distinction between liberal arts and sciences since 2020; Fujian, Hubei, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Hunan, Hebei, Liaoning, Chongqing Starting from 2021, the reform will break the limitations of simple division of liberal arts and sciences, and give students more autonomy in subjects through the “3+1+2” model. It can be said that the direction of the comprehensive reform of the college entrance examination is to abolish the restrictions on the traditional arts and sciences, encourage students to explore personalized learning paths, and cultivate more comprehensive talents.

As far as the IB International Baccalaureate Organization course I teach, the academic training at the high school level also does not simply distinguish the characteristics of students’ liberal arts and sciences, but requires students to choose six specific courses from six subject groups for research. The subject groups are language and literature (mother tongue), language acquisition (second language/foreign language), individual and society (such as history, economics, philosophy, etc.), science (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.), mathematics, and art. Taking into account the characteristics of different individuals, students can choose an additional course in the first five subject groups to replace the art course.

This kind of curriculum is similar to the elective mode of American College of Arts and Sciences, aiming to cultivate students’ comprehensive ability. In order to open up students’ understanding and knowledge of different disciplines, TOK Theory of Knowledge will guide students to reflect on the nature of knowledge and explore how humans obtain knowledge that we take for granted (how we know what we claim to know).

In fact, before the division of liberal arts and sciences in middle schools, many majors were already integrated in liberal arts and sciences when enrolling students, such as journalism, economics and law (where the four Ph.Ds are located) and so on. For some traditional liberal arts majors, practitioners have realized the significance of interdisciplinary research and study for the cultivation of compound talents.

Taking the School of Journalism of Fudan University as an example, the “2+2 undergraduate teaching and training reform” implemented in 2018 allows undergraduates to rely on eight majors including computer information technology for wide-caliber training in the first two years, and enter the training of journalism and communication in the next two years. , So as to better adapt to the needs of the current development of the news dissemination industry. It is conceivable that a news talent who is good at new media technology and data analysis cannot be simply defined as a “liberal arts student”. Economics requires not only the use of a large number of mathematical tools for data analysis, but also a series of traditional “liberal arts” content such as consumer preferences, macro planning, and information feedback. Not to mention the current minor and dual degree policies provided by the university, allowing students to cross the boundaries of liberal arts and sciences and learn what interests them outside of their majors.

▲ “Two Cultures” is the first part of an influential speech delivered by British scientist and novelist CP Snow in 1959. In the same year, it was published as “Two Cultures and Scientific Revolutions” in book form. The main argument in the book is that science and humanities, which represent “the intellectual life of the entire Western society,” have been divided into “two cultures”, and this division is the main obstacle to solving world problems.

▌Art and science sub-subjects do not meet the needs of realistic problem-solving

Under the modern background of diversified demand for talents and encouragement of individualized development and training of students, the simple division of students into liberal arts students and science students, and even the judgment that “the liberal arts students misunderstood the country” has already ignored the context of the times. As mentioned earlier, both the “social division of labor theory” and the “big brother” construction theory are in the past. In modern society, what is needed is a combination of liberal arts and sciences, and integrated talents who can comprehensively use all aspects of knowledge.

The current world is facing unprecedented changes, especially when the shadow of the new crown pneumonia epidemic still looms over the world. The work and lifestyle of billions of people have changed, and the global economic recovery is still full of uncertainties. Problems such as medical support, drug R&D and distribution, accurate transmission of information, the impact of the epidemic on the economy and the intensification of the gap between rich and poor in society, racial conflicts and even conflicts caused by the reduction of living space are not a single traditional liberal arts or science knowledge that can be easily resolved. of.

Take the recent vaccination issue as an example. The development and experimental production of medical vaccines are based on scientific knowledge, and the promotion and management and distribution rely on language and social science methods. Individuals’ fear and rejection of vaccines cannot be resolved automatically by the experimental data of vaccines, and they need to be communicated and persuaded through empathy cultivated in the humanities.

Similarly, the progress of global epidemic prevention cannot be automatically succeeded only through the sales of pharmaceutical companies’ products, but also through coordination within the country and mutual assistance and cooperation between countries to ensure the fair distribution of vaccines. It can be seen that in solving problems, the social humanities and the science and engineering experimental disciplines are not originally opposed or the relationship between two alternatives, but to cooperate to achieve their goals.

▌What kind of people and abilities should be cultivated by education?

Rather than indulging in the unrealistic disputes over the arts and sciences, it is better to think about whether our current education has cultivated children’s ability to face modern issues.

In the current era of high-speed information, when the boundaries of knowledge continue to expand, global challenges are everywhere. In education, it is better to cultivate students’ “meta” ability to analyze problems, solve problems, and express effectively than masters of liberal arts and sciences. Specific knowledge is more important.

When children are studying science subjects, the teacher no longer keeps an eye on test scores, repeats exercises, and strengthens the application of formulas in different exercises, but allows students to train their thinking methods on the basis of knowledge and guide them to face For complex problems, transfer the experimental methods you have experienced in scientific learning, such as variable control and observation, and refine seemingly indissoluble complex problems into manageable modules, so as to think one by one and break each one. Maybe this is the case. The meaning of science learning.

Students can and must experience scientific experiments in person to truly appreciate the simple and orderly scientific process: observing phenomena, asking questions, setting hypotheses, testing hypotheses, and sharing results. Learn what is evidence-based, scientific thinking and logic. In the cycle, human cognition is constantly updated.

However, in the process from analyzing problems to solving problems, especially when making decisions, the data and facts contained in scientific discussions should not be the only yardstick. Even the efficiency of input and output in economics is not the entire decision. According to the basis, it is also necessary to take into account the ethics and humanistic care cultivated by the liberal arts.

Taking the discharge of nuclear waste water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the sea as an example, the report submitted by TEPCO to the World Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) included deep underground pumping, mortar solidification treatment and then burial, electrolysis, evaporative release, The cost of these five plans for discharging into the sea ranges from tens of billions of yen to hundreds of billions of yen. In contrast, discharging the sea only requires a few billion yen. If we do not learn from the historical nuclear accidents of the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries, and do not consider the safety of marine life and the human rights of citizens, and only make this choice from the perspective of price, it will inevitably bring about possible nuclear pollution and certain international tensions. More far-reaching issues. The comprehensive educational significance of the liberal arts and sciences is to help students build a variety of frameworks for viewing problems, consider the rationality of solutions from different perspectives, weigh the pros and cons of all parties, and assume their responsibilities.

Some people may say that thinking about issues forward and backward will lead to hesitation, indecision, delay in making decisions, and missed opportunities for action. But this is exactly what scientific disciplines can strengthen the balance. It can help people make decisions when information is uncertain. New scientific theories always require new experimental designs for continuous testing, and creating new experiments can often activate original cognition, improve theoretical connotations, and extend more experiments in the future to help us understand current problems.

Science is precisely the process of setting models, making decisions, and constantly improving on the basis of inadequate information. Just like the choice when life is at a fork in the road, no one can fully grasp the information, but if the individual can master the analysis and action, reflect on the improvement Ability, face every choice with a positive attitude, so you don’t have to worry about one step wrong or wrong step. This is scientific literacy and scientific mentality.

In addition to individual choices, important decisions of companies, society, and the country often require collective decisions. At the same time, many decisions involve multiple interests, and any decision must have its beneficiaries, losers, and cost payers. Then, how to weigh the interests of all parties and how to persuade different people to compromise with each other to achieve the greatest common divisor. It will inevitably test the individual communication and expression skills cultivated by the humanities, the empathy and coordination of the interests of all parties.

We often agree that the training basis of the former lies in the reading and writing of language and literature subjects. Through studying various writing methods and content, students explore their expression effects, thereby improving their accurate expression level. The latter needs to broaden one’s horizons and perspectives and achieve diversity and tolerance through reading in history, politics, and literature.

However, we ignore that the quantitative thinking and argumentation methods that scientific disciplines value can also help to improve the individual’s ability to communicate and persuade: how to use quantitative data to analyze and persuade others to accept their opinions? How to distinguish the validity of the argument and avoid selective data use or imperfect logical chain? How to explain the benefits and costs of all parties reflected in the data? If researchers can develop such abilities in the process of receiving liberal arts education, they will not easily come to the conclusion that “one of the reasons Southeast Asian countries fall into the middle-income trap is that there are too many liberal arts students”.

I don’t believe that “comrades are enemies”. It’s the same as peers and mutual sympathy. But several liberal arts doctors severely hacked their liberal arts counterparts, and I am a little dubious about this statement.

The thing is like this.

Recently, four liberal arts doctors jointly published a working paper on “Awareness of my country’s Population Transformation and Countermeasures”, and reached a consensus that has existed in the current review circle for many years: We should fully liberalize and encourage childbirth, and effectively solve women’s difficulties in pregnancy, childbirth, nursery school, and schooling.

▲A working paper recently released by the central bank caused controversy (Photo/Internet)

This paper is of course more profound than that of current critics. It not only covers the period from the first century to the 21st century, but also from the population policies of the developed countries to the population policies of our country. There are data and examples, and I can’t help but feel convincing to read.

If such an excellent paper is published several years earlier, as a reference for decision-making, my country’s population aging will certainly reduce the loss, and as a forward-looking academic research, the four doctors of liberal arts will also win widespread public respect.

And only after the formation of a social consensus did you write such a paper. Some of the people are already hungry. You still wrote the taste of “On the importance of eating, and how many meals a day is better” there.

02

But something is better than nothing. Most of the opinions in this paper are not much controversial. The reason why this paper aroused crowds is only one conclusion: “(China should) attach importance to science and engineering education. One of the reasons why Southeast Asian countries fall into the middle-income trap is that there are too many liberal arts students.”

▲It is mentioned in the working paper that one of the reasons why Southeast Asian countries fall into the middle-income trap is that there are too many liberal arts students (photo/network)

To avoid taking it out of context, I read the context repeatedly. The background of this conclusion is that four doctors of liberal arts presented a plan to “promote education and technological progress” in the part of demonstrating the “countermeasures”. This plan is divided into four parts: a loose environment, the establishment of a basic social security system, the control of housing prices, Importance of education. The judgment that caused the onlookers is under the “emphasis on education”.

Analyze carefully, The statement “too many liberal arts students” has four meanings:

First, China does not attach importance to science and engineering education, or does not pay enough attention to it. Combined with the next sentence, the implicit meaning is that there are too many liberal arts students in China and occupy the posts of science and engineering students.

Second, one of the reasons why Southeast Asian countries fell into the middle-income trap is that there are too many liberal arts students.

Third, liberal arts students have low incomes and even can’t find a job, so the potential for future income growth is poor.

Fourth, China cannot follow the old path of Southeast Asian countries and train too many liberal arts students. Otherwise, too many people can find jobs with low incomes and may fall into the middle-income trap.

03

I once said publicly in a group: I unconditionally adore students who are good in science, and I have conditions to worship those who are good in liberal arts. Therefore, we must be very cautious about the judgments about the arts and sciences elucidated by the four liberal arts doctors.

The four liberal arts doctors probably don’t know, Today’s higher education in China was born out of the Soviet model.

An article from Netease’s “Inspur Studio” mentioned that at the first national higher education conference held on June 8, 1950, an expert from the Soviet Union Alsingev believed that the universities of the new China are education workers, The place for farmers and laborers should train engineers, physicians, and agricultural experts for the country, not large and useless people like liberal arts students.

▲A group photo of the Preparatory Committee of Tsinghua University for the adjustment of the departments of Beijing-Tianjin Colleges and Universities in June 1952 (photo/network)

Since then, sociology and political science have been cut off, and only two universities in psychology have been opened. The only anthropology in China is Fudan University and it is kept under biology.

In the 1950s, China became the country with the smallest number of liberal arts students and the smallest proportion of liberal arts education in the world. The proportion of students in the three disciplines of liberal arts, finance and economics, and politics and law combined was 33.1% in 1949, 14.9% in 1953, and only 8% in 1957.

On July 21, 1968, Mao Zedong commented on the survey report on “The Way to Train Engineers and Technicians from the Shanghai Machine Tool Works”: “Universities are still to be established. I am mainly talking about universities of science and engineering.”

Therefore, the four liberal arts doctors cannot say that China does not attach importance to science and engineering education. For a long period of time, China has almost been the most important country in the world for science and engineering education.

04

Whether there are too many liberal arts students in Southeast Asian countries is actually quite difficult to judge.

First, the situation in Southeast Asian countries is very complicated. From the perspective of culture/civilization alone, Singapore belongs to the Chinese society, Indonesia is dominated by Islam, Thailand is a Buddhist country, the Philippines is a Catholic country, Vietnam is a socialist country, and a country’s culture. /Civilization has a huge impact on the economic and social situation, and it has an impact on what major students choose to study.

Of the two, among Southeast Asian countries, Singapore has already entered the ranks of high-income countries. Does this country, like China in the past, cut down on liberal arts majors to reduce liberal arts students and make great contributions to leapfrog development?

The three, from the perspective of employment alone, the development stage of the country and society also has a great influence on students’ professional choices.

In addition, a country’s resource endowment affects the country’s industrial conditions and will also have an important impact on the employment ecology.

In fact, people who are familiar with geography know that Southeast Asian countries are located in the tropics and have a hot and humid climate. For a long time, even if they work less, dress and eat and live more easily than those in the temperate and frigid regions, this has also led to other problems after industrialization There will not be a high degree of development in the issue of food, clothing and shelter.

All over the world, tropical areas are basically not industrially developed areas. Tropical areas should develop tourism and vacations and other tertiary industries that are compatible with the local climate and culture, that is, more liberal arts students are needed, not more science and engineering students.

05

From the perspective of employment, does science and engineering just sit back and relax, and there must be a higher income?

China is a large country with basically complete types of jobs, and probably only the United States is close to the types of jobs in China. The well-known American professional media Zippia calculated the unemployment rate of graduates of various majors in American universities in 2020, and listed the final ranking:

▲Zippia lists the top ten unemployment rates among graduates of various majors in American universities in 2020 (photo/network)

First place: Library Science, with an unemployment rate of 11.77%;

Second place: metallurgical engineering, unemployment rate 10.53%;

Third place: nuclear engineering, unemployment rate 10.11%;

Fourth place: Industrial production technology, unemployment rate 8.24%;

Fifth place: general social sciences, unemployment rate is 7.65%;

The sixth place is geological and geophysical engineering, with an unemployment rate of 7.26%;

Seventh place: Interdisciplinary major in social sciences, with an unemployment rate of 6.88%;

Eighth place: foreign language, unemployment rate 6.22%;

Ninth place: beauty services and cooking technology, unemployment rate 5.91%;

Tenth: Interior Art 5.88%.

In this form, the proportions of liberal arts and science and engineering are basically half and half. No one goes to college to be unemployed in the future. It is a good major when you graduate, but no one can guarantee that it will always be a good major. The adjustment of the industry is intensifying, and no one can guarantee that its professionalism will always be prosperous.

The four doctors of liberal arts who study economics probably forgot that under the circumstances that employment does not include distribution and is already highly market-oriented, students and their parents have their own trade-offs on which major they choose to study. The first thing most people think about is their future employment. The higher the income of the profession, the more people they can choose; they will also consider their interests and their financial ability to study the profession.

Is it difficult to get a job after graduating from university? How much money can you earn? Is this planned? Whether students study science and engineering or liberal arts, it doesn’t take the four liberal arts doctors to worry about them. They should cut off the tail of the planned economy thinking. If China unfortunately falls into the middle-income trap, one of the culprits is that similar planned economy thinking becomes popular.

Yang Lijing, an actress from Taiwan, entered the entertainment industry at the age of 17. With her exquisite appearance and superb acting skills, she broke a world in the entertainment industry and gained a good reputation. Many directors think this little girl is great. At the beginning, she filmed “Royal Sister”, and gained a certain reputation in the entertainment circle at the time with the play. The good performance made the audience remember the girl.

But Taiwan’s development always has its limitations, so Yang Lijing came to the mainland. Most of the TV ratings in mainland China are based on costume dramas, and Yang Lijing who understands this has also begun to develop in this direction, and she also plays the leading role in martial arts novels. At that time, Yang Lijing’s costume dramas had very low ratings and were very popular in the entertainment circle. She was a famous costume beauty.

After that, for some reason, when Yang Lijing reached the peak of her career, her works were very few. Maybe she is very satisfied, the money she has earned over the years is enough for her own consumption. The choices in the entertainment circle faded out, rarely appeared in the audience’s vision, and there was no news about her.

In recent days, 52-year-old Yang Lijing has been exposed again. She is often harassed by her ex-boyfriend. She filed a lawsuit in the court.

It’s not easy to meet such a person in life. Yang Lijing is now over 50 years old. From the photos, she looks like a reverse growth. The more she lives, the younger and more charming.

Has everyone seen the costume drama she performed?
