This article is from WeChat official account:8-character intersection (ID: crosseight) , Author: Huang Ahua, original title: “Forty years, those babies who have been chickened by Chinese”,Head image from: Visual China
It was a sunny afternoon, and the sunlight softly passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows and shone into a garden house. Indoors, several women wearing expensive makeup and delicate looks are sitting on the sofa, but their expressions are mostly solemn, and at first glance they are anxious.
The source of anxiety is one of the short-haired women. She held a retro teacup in her hand, and said calmly:
——For grades 1 to 3, I will study English; for grades 4 to 5, I will study Olympiad.
——Now elementary school students, there are quite a few of them who have obtained the Cambridge Level 5 Certificate (Level 6).
——3000 words is drizzle!
After that, several women sitting in the same seat behaved like sitting on pins and needles. I can’t help but fill up their inner lines:
——Do I recognize 3000 Chinese characters myself?
This is a scene from the TV series “Little Will” that ended not long ago. The short-haired woman named Tian Yulan is a mother of a chicken baby. Friends who have watched it know that Xueersi simply gave the title of this TV series to Xueersi Online School·Dongfang Theater.
The whole show is showing the shockingness of the chicken baby, and then a bunch of cram school advertisements are broadcast at the end, which is humorous. Only after reading it can I realize: I can’t bear to bear the children without loosing wolves, if I am unwilling to invest in selling anxiety, I can’t cut leeks.
However, this TV series is very real. The widespread Chinese demand for chicken babies is the real reason for the booming business of online schools.
For 40 years, there have been countless parents like Tian Yulan in China, and the chicken baby has reached the point of unscrupulous. If it’s okay, I take Ningbo PUA for my own children, some of them hang their heads together with their children, and some force their daughters to take menopausal medicine to study…
Of course, there are countless people who use the psychology of Chinese parents to make a fortune in silence.
Some people spend money on anxiety marketing and sell nutrient solutions on their backhands; some advertise for chicken baby health products, which almost caused diplomatic controversy; some people dress up game consoles as computers and eat two generations at the same time…
Speaking of the history of Chinese chicken babies in these decades, it is a ready-made contemporary realism magical masterpiece.
Furthermore, it is not an exaggeration to say: it is the kind that binds Marquez and Mo Yan together and holds a gun against it, and it can’t be written.
01
Before the beginning of the story, let’s do some questions first, and it will be a little bit like a baby.
In the first lesson of the first unit of the eighth grade of the 2015 edition of “Ideology and Morality” of Beijing Normal University, there is such an after-school question and answer:
Material 1: Statistics from the China Youth Crime Research Association show that in recent years, the total number of juvenile crimes has accounted for more than 70% of the total number of criminal crimes in the country.
Material 2: There are many people in our country who have become talented through early education. Ning Bo, 14 years old, was admitted by the University of Science and Technology of China as the first student of the juvenile class. After graduation, he stayed on as a teaching assistant; Cao Yibin was admitted to the juvenile class of the University of Science and Technology of China at the age of 14.
(1) What did you learn from the comparison of material one and material two?
(2) If you also have a classmate who has taken the path of the character in the second material, what are you going to say to him?
I just mentioned Ning Bo, I think everyone knows this name. A well-known star prodigy in the 1980s, a representative of the Junior Class of the University of Science and Technology of China. As a result, this country has spent great efforts in training and should contribute to the early realization of the four modernizations.The child prodigy, finally became a monk. I heard that it was vulgar again a few days ago.
Then we can’t help but ask: What would happen if he was not a monk?
There is obviously no answer to this question. However, we may be able to infer from another person in material two.
Cao Yibin, a college alumnus of Ning Bo and a fellow in Jiangxi. He once recalled in an article that he was inspired by Ning Bo to enter the Junior Class of the University of Science and Technology of China:
In the third grade of elementary school, I heard news from the Junior Class of the University of Science and Technology, especially the deeds of Ning Bo. Ning Bo has mastered all the knowledge in middle school at the age of 14, and he is proficient in medicine, Go, and can write poetry. And I’m almost 10 years old and I’m only in the third grade of elementary school. I think if Ning Bo can do it, I should strive to do it.
In 1983, Cao Yibin was admitted to the Junior Class of the University of Science and Technology of China, where he studied physics exactly the same as Ning Bo, only 5 years away.
The description of Cao Yibin as a genius boy cannot be overstated. During his studies, Cao Yibin won the Guo Moruo Award, the highest honor of the University of Science and Technology of China, and was pre-admitted by the California Institute of Technology, and finally obtained a doctorate in chemical physics.
This school is Qian Xuesen’s alma mater and a sanctuary for physicists all over the world. However, Cao Yibin, who received his Ph.D., did not return to China like the old seniors, and topped five divisions. He didn’t even persevere on the path of scientific research.
He first worked as a business analyst at McKinsey for a year, then as a financial officer for two multinational companies, and then as the financial director for Perkinelmer in Greater China. He also took an MBA with him.
The road of Cao Yibin has been the choice of most of the graduates of the Junior Class of the University of Science and Technology of China for 40 years. If Ning Bo did not become a monk, but went abroad to study smoothly, he would probably choose this path.
For example, Zhang Yaqin, who studied physics with Ning Bo in the 78th grade juvenile class, only a few months later than him, got a PhD from the University of Washington at the age of 23, but finally became the president of Baidu;
Chen Xiaowei, a 83-level girl, got a PhD in molecular genetics and biochemistry from the University of Pittsburgh, and became a CCTV host, and now she is also working hard in business;
Wang Jianghong, who is also at level 83, is even more genius. He has a master’s degree in chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a PhD in finance from Yale University, and later became the general manager of CCI China;
……
As of 2018, a total of junior college graduates4140 people. Among those who graduated for more than 10 years, 55% chose to work in business, and 17% were in finance.
Why is this? the reason is simple. Because at that time, China, which was generally backward in all aspects, did not have the conditions to engage in physics research at all.
Otherwise, in the 1980s, how could the Chinese scientific community circulate the famous saying: It is better to sell tea eggs than to engage in missiles.
What China urgently needed at the time was not theoretical physics, nor the Nobel Prize in physics, but to get rich first. These things that even ordinary people want to understand, it is impossible for the early-witted geniuses of the Chinese University of Science and Technology to understand.
So it is understandable that Cao Yibins made choices with actions one after another. From a macro perspective, this official action to speed up the realization of the four modernizations and the chicken science and technology baby failed.
However, this is undoubtedly the forerunner of the history of Chinese chicken babies in the past 40 years, and opened the most exciting chapter in the history of Chinese chicken babies. The emergence of the Junior Class at the University of Science and Technology of China has deeply stimulated countless Chinese parents who are looking forward to becoming a dragon, and hastened the pace of their children.
Every post-80s generation should have more or less heard their parents say this sentence like a curse: Look at Ning Bo, then look at you!
Until now, our 280-jin editor-in-chief will feel tightness in his chest and shortness of breath as long as he hears this spell.
02
In 1988, a scientific research institution of a university in Zhejiang, in conjunction with the media, published the results of a study in a newspaper. The results showed that among the 3,006 primary school students studied, 1,336 had different degrees of malnutrition. Moreover, 44.4% of the children lacked trace elements such as calcium, iron and zinc.
The power of this piece of tofu news is equivalent to throwing an atomic bomb on the hearts of parents. Who will save the child? At the time when it was unable to do anything, the TV station began to broadcast a carousel advertisement for children’s nutrient solution for no reason, and it came up with a sentence: drinking Wahaha, eating is fragrant!
Fragrance differs from person to person, but Wahaha is particularly good for a healthier country. This list of ingredients, you just put it today, let the darkest and darkest Chinese medicine black pick, and you can’t find the fault: longan, red dates, hawthorn, lotus seed, walnut, rice kernel, chicken liver.
The past is not like smoke. Later, Mr. Zong, who was already wealthy and free, said that the so-called malnutrition study: I sponsored Didi.
The hardworking and brave Chinese people have always been good at scrolling. Seeing Wahaha’s profit, a man named Shi Yuzhu couldn’t sit still.
Of course Shi Yuzhu is also a genius. He immediately realized that he must be aware of competing products. It doesn’t work to drink up like Wahaha, and you have to grow your brain.
In 1994, Shi Yuzhu produced a kind of health care product called Brain Gold. Hearing this name, I know that its selling point is that it can nourish the brain after eating it. The DHA contained in this thing is obviously the most common fish oil component, and it becomes gold in Mr. Shi’s mouth.
Since the Opium War, there has been an old saying in China since ancient times: to rely on foreigners to respect themselves.
In the ad copy of Brain Gold, the U.S. emperor and the clay pot were gathered together to help them formulate a ten-year national strategy: In the 1990s, the U.S. Congress proposed the “decade of the brain” and emphasized the strengthening of the brain; The Japanese government also laid out a plan, emphasizing that DHA is eaten for brain supplement.
Then, the advertisement will tell you quietly that DHA is the brain gold, which is squeezed out of the fish’s brain. But you can’t eat fish at home, because cooking the fish will destroy your brain gold. Can only buy mine.
Well, the fact is that Shi Yuzhu took the planning team and spent 996 consecutive weeks in the office before he came up with these two basic national policies for the United States and Japan.
Guangxi Yang’s self-respect is not strong enough, and President Shi has done something to put things right now and make troubles to cover food and shelter.
He changed what Deng Gong said about letting some people get rich first, and changed it into a brainy slogan: Let 100 million people get smart first.
This is poking my heart. Let me ask, which parent does not want his children to be the first wave of people to be smarter? Don’t think about it, brain gold is definitely selling out. There were almost 2 small goals for Wang Jianlin to collect the money back then.
After having tasted the sweetness, Shi Yuzhu stepped up his efforts and launched a series of derivative health products, vowing to kill everyone in one go. As a family, the most important thing is to be neat and tidy. Regardless of whether you are an old man or a young fat man, don’t even want to run away, let me tell you.
Look, every sentence can make an anxious group sit in the table, and every sentence is very grounded. Either the rhetoric that has been circulated for many years, or the words of the national leader in the “People’s Daily”:
Brain Gold: Test and Test, Promote the Brain
Giant is not fat: eat meat as you eat, but fat is reduced
Giant Calcium: Human is iron, calcium is steel
Brain Gold Milk Powder: To strengthen the brain, start from the doll
……
As soon as these gadgets appeared on the market for half a month, they added 1.5 billion to Shi Yuzhu’s book, but he will soon be deflated.
The problem lies in the commercial. Not only Gorbachev, but also Hitler, a young Austrian painter, appeared on the scene. What’s more explosive is that there is another lens:
——The great mentor Marx is holding Thatcher and playing the right track with Einstein.
Relevant departments were soon in place and dealt with the advertisements in accordance with the law. The sales of Brain Gold plummeted. After learning from the pain, he realized that the chicken baby’s business was good, so he worked hard and prepared to attack his friends and merchants.
In 1995, Shi Yuzhu made a giant eating fragrant nutrient solution, and also compiled a “Giant Group Health Product Sales Book”. It contains bad things about Wahaha. It is said that people have mixed hormones, causing children to mature early.
Zong Shi’s behavior of not talking about martial arts is exactly what Guo Degang said: peers are naked hatred. Such a move scared the parents very much, and Wahaha’s sales naturally jumped into the water.
The measure of a person’s maturity depends on whether he is beaten and chooses to fight back, or if he takes out his mobile phone to call the police.
Wahaha chose the latter, but Shi Yuzhu lost 200Wan, and flew to Hangzhou to apologize to Zong Qinghou. The two held a press conference together.
In this society, no one is stupid. There is only one reason for Shi Yuzhu to take the risk: the profit exceeds 300%, and he is confused for a while.
03
At that time, in addition to children’s health products, the market was full of all kinds of chicken and baby products. Everything you can eat and use:
Life No.1 oral liquid supplements brain nutrition and improves memory. It is said that there are 29 kinds of trace elements, but the main ingredients are taurine and amino acids, which are no different from Red Bull and are more expensive than Red Bull.
How much is it expensive? A 10ml Life One is priced at 4.6 yuan; a can of Red Bull 250ml is priced at 5.5 yuan. Converted, the price of the former is 23 times that of the latter.
Liu Dong physical therapy mirror. These glasses are claimed to be able to cure myopia, but they use the principle of small-hole imaging to fool people. After wearing them for a long time, the eyes become more tired. In 1996, this gadget sold for 200 million.
What should I do if I don’t like eating? Longmu Zhuanggu Granules; What should I do with growth retardation? Longmu Zhuanggu Granules; What should I do about sweaty night terrors? Longmu Zhuanggu Granules; Chong Chong Chong!
Why is it called Longmu? Perhaps the reason can be found from the list of ingredients posted on its official website. The word “dragon” must be derived from the keel in the ingredient list; keel is the skeletal fossil of ancient animals, such as cattle, horses, and elephants. According to the guiding ideology of traditional Chinese medicine, you think: bones are all fossils, and it is definitely good for bones to be eaten by people.
The word Mu is even simpler. Another ingredient is stewed oysters. Everyone has eaten oysters, isn’t the shell still hard? It’s not hard to try one bite. China’s habit of course is that the combination of Chinese and Western medicine has a good effect. On this list of ingredients, at the end of a long list of Chinese medicines, there are three imported products: calcium lactate, vitamin D2, and calcium gluconate.
By the way, don’t blame the parents at that time for paying the IQ tax alive. As parents of the generation born in the 1980s, most of them have experienced that difficult period. This group who has experienced hunger and malnutrition firsthand does not want their children to experience it again anyway.
On the other hand, it is an indisputable fact that the Chinese people’s cognition level was generally not high at that time.
You know, that was the age when even the minister believed that water turned into oil, and the great scientists who studied rockets supported the human body’s special functions. How high can ordinary people’s cognition level be?
This is also the reason why IQ tax is now seen by so many people at that time.
Furthermore, the objective living conditions in the 1980s were really difficult. At that time, an ordinary household in Beijing had a monthly pork quota of no more than 2 catties. This is still in the capital, other places are even more choking.
From 1983 to 1988, the average daily meat, egg and milk intake of urban residents in China never exceeded 10g, while rural residents did not exceed 5g. Not to mention the lack of materials, just a small amount of stock has to be exchanged with a ticket. At that time, the Chinese people’s eyes are shining when they mention meat. Long-term insufficient intake of meat, eggs, and milk is the most intuitive manifestation of adolescent malnutrition, resulting in heights generally lower than normal.
It’s all about low, it’s actually lower than Japan.
For example, in 1985, the National Student Physical Fitness and Health Research Report jointly issued by the Ministry of Health and the Education and Sports Commission showed: The average height of 12-year-old boys in my country is 142.9cm; the average height of 12-year-old girls is 145cm.
At the same time, Japanese children were more than a little taller than Chinese children. According to the “Survey Report on Physical Strength and Athletic Ability” issued by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan: In 1985, the average height of 12-year-old boys was 150cm; the average height of 12-year-old girls was 150.9cm.
You said, when one sees that their children are shorter than those in small Japan, can parents not be anxious?
At that time, the behavior of parents to give their children evil nourishment was a typical phenomenon of changing the first-year chicken baby, and it was also the initial stage. The magnificent history of Chinese chicken baby is about to usher in a new climax.
04
In China in the early 1990s, there was a popular saying in society that defined what constitutes a modern person. The general idea is that a person must master these three basic skills to meet the standards of modern people. Otherwise, you can’t take care of yourself: computer, English, driving.
Except for driving, there are age restrictions for children who can’t learn, the remaining two can be chickens. A joke is a joke, the truth is right, because computer technology has developed to a new level at this time.
1992 was the same year that the South Sea was drawing circles. The world’s first ThinkPad was born in IBM; Intel launched the first-generation Pentium processor the following year.
People can use portable personal computers to efficiently process information and communication anywhere. This means that using a computer for work will definitely become a new skill that must be mastered in the workplace in the future.
At that time when the spring breeze is blowing all over the ground, this technological change will naturally also blow to this country. A computer costing tens of thousands of dollars at every turn was a price that most Chinese families could not afford at that time.
However, one thing is certain, no parent will be willing to leave their children behind, even though the children only want to play games.
Duan Yongping, who started his career in game consoles, is well versed in the essence of Chinese culture—the Golden Mean, and peace is the most important thing. Video games and chicken babies, two incompatible things, merged in his hands.
His method is simple and rude, adding a keyboard to the original game console modeled on Nintendo’s red and white consoles, and then renamed it Xiaobawang learning machine. Just like there is no wife in the wife cake, there is no learning in this learning machine. The closest thing to learning may beTyping game.
Duan Yongping knows that with this change alone, a game console that looks like a keyboard will certainly not escape the eyes of parents. But the name of the marketing godfather is not screaming, he set the product tone for the learning machine: hope that you will become a dragon.
Then DUANG invited Jackie Chan and asked him to shout out a series of words in the commercial: I think back then, I used my fist to beat the world. Now, in this computer age, my son wants to use Xiaobawang to fight the world!
The same parents in the world, hope that their son will become a little overlord!
This remark made everything logical. This machine not only gave the children an excuse to play games, but also gave the parents a legitimate reason for the baby.
In this way, it creates a win-win situation where parents and children each get what they need. But is that really the case? I think the win-win here is more likely to refer to: Duan Yongping won twice.
If you have computer skills, but if you want your child to make a head start and become a new man in the 21st century, you have to overcome the hurdle of English.
No fishing there, huh? Then I’m not going fishing, I’m going to the park to recite English! Eh, nose, Xi, Di…
This is a famous scene in the TV sitcom “I Love My Home”. It is a scene where Jia Zhixin rescued children from falling water while fishing and was interviewed by reporters. But when he learned from reporters that the park is not like fishing, he immediately changed his words and said that he was inThat back English letters. A young person who is unemployed is ready to make progress.
I have to say that the screenwriters represented by Liang Zuo were the few artists at the time who knew how to integrate current affairs and followed hot topics. At the time the play was broadcast, an English boom was sweeping the country, and schools and parents without exception were teaching their children English.
At this time, a publication called “English Tutoring News” is quietly occupying the desks of primary and middle school students across the country.
Its founder is Bao Tianren, an English teacher from Tongliao, Jilin Province. Before running a newspaper, Mr. Bao was famous for making questions, often pulling the students to 996 questions.
It may be that 996 is not enough to be enjoyable. He has a simple and boring idea: to start an English learning and counseling newspaper to carry out the topic to the end.
Just do it. It’s true that Bao Tianren brought in a few teachers and college students, and took advantage of the cheap labor price in China, and he fiddled with the newspaper.
In 1990, the “English Tutoring News” began its trial publication, and it turned out to be profitable that year. The volume of this question is far more than the volume of exercises, and the price of the newspaper is only 1 cent, and it has become popular all over the country in a short time.
You think, there was no Internet at that time, and printing was underdeveloped. The teacher made the questions by himself, and the speed couldn’t keep up with the students. This has created a huge demand gap. There is no reason why the “English Counseling News” does not sell well.
Its circulation once reached 13.73 million copies in a single issue. In 1998, the Yangtze River Flood made national donations, and the share of the education system was 6 million yuan. The “English Counsel” family took a quarter. However, many of the babies who were caught in the past are not so impressed with the paper with the title of the newspaper.
In 2018, Weibo netizen @1980s-2010s posted two pictures of “English Tutoring News”, which attracted more than 8,000 forward comments. In the comments, in addition to complaining about typesetting garbage, poor paper quality, and nightmare of writing questions, netizens praised the highest comment.The point is: This is a newspaper with a taste.
It was the strange smell of some kind of stamping oil, combined with the intensive and frightening exercises, which caused the students’ mental trauma which was difficult to heal. So much so that some people say that they feel sick when they see the picture.
To be sure, this is such a special newspaper, a person named Li Yongxin in Tonghua must have done it. Well, it is the first share of the current A-share education, the boss of Zhong Gong Education.
05
Time has entered the beginning of the 21st century, the four modernizations have not yet arrived, and the children’s road to being chickened is far from over. After reading the English Counseling News for so many years, you have completely adapted to your sense of smell. You have to use it, right?
At this time, a girl named Liu Yiting broke into the public eye, making countless Chinese parents leap forward on the road of chicken babies. The girl applied to 9 prestigious American schools and was admitted to 7 universities. In the end, she chose Harvard.
In the second year of her attending Harvard, in 2000, Mother Liu released a book while it was hot, with a very concise name: “Harvard Girl Liu Yiting”.
This is a pure handbook for baby chickens. For example, in order to train her daughter’s willpower, Mother Liu used many training methods that seem to call the police today: teach her to wash dishes and sweep the floor at the age of 3, teach her to cook at the age of 7, and not let go of holding ice cubes for 15 minutes. Do not land on tiptoes for half an hour…
Take one of them as an example, Liu Yiting herself wrote in her diary: the first minute, it feels okay, the second minute, it feels piercing pain, I hurriedly picked up a medicine bottle to read the instructions above, and transferred My attention; by the third minute, my bones hurt like a thousand ice needles dancing on it. I used the method of reading the instructions aloud to overcome it.
When Dad told me “time is up”, I jumped and cheered with joy: “Hurrah, hooray, I won, I won!”But my hand turned purple-red, and it felt very hot to touch everything.
Although someone wrote a book soon, saying that this book is a hype, Liu Yiting is not that good. She took advantage of the loopholes in the admission rules of American universities in China. But he could not deny the fact that Liu Yiting was on fire.
This book has sold 2 million copies. This is only genuine data. Piracy is estimated to be several times this, adding up to tens of millions.
Although the children of these 10 million parents, most of them cannot go abroad to study in the end. But it is certain that most of them have tried this set on their own children.
Until many years later, some people recalled their youth on the Internet: that night, I chipped the ice from the refrigerator at home and shook hands, and broke through 30 minutes very easily. I thought I could be admitted to Harvard…
My mother read one of the passages, “Children’s stationery should not be too colorful and easily distracting.” So I threw away all my beloved toys when I was still in elementary school…
If the craze for going abroad at that time was a big hot iron pot, this book was just pouring oil, stimulating parents to squeeze in.
In fact, there is no reason behind every trend.
On September 11, 2001, the plane hijacked by bin Laden crashed into the World Trade Center, causing a worldwide uproar. On November 10, two months later, my country ended its 15-year negotiations with the WTO and officially joined the WTO.
The number of Chinese students studying abroad exploded rapidly. In 2000, China went abroad to study 39,000 people, and in 2002 it reached 125,000.
Reality is always skinny. There are very few people who can go abroad. The vast majority of people are destined to be the cannon fodder wrapped in chickens, but it does not prevent them from being a handful of leeks.
The great benefits of studying abroad, Li Yongxin’s senior and colleague Yu Minhong must have felt. New Oriental, which started in 1993, finally ushered in spring. At the same time that Liu Yiting was selling all over the country, he was also busy giving speeches, publicizing his ideas and adding advertisements.
At the time when the Internet was in the ascendant, it was difficult for ordinary people to verify and question the words of celebrities. It’s like the following words: Japan has long struggled with the Chinese. After the Second World War, although Japan was defeated, its offensive nature was still very obvious. It produced a large number of products that could be sold to other countries. Another characteristic of the Japanese nation was that they were very united, so it was called the’Yamato nation’. The product is notCompeting with each other within Japan, but unanimously exporting to the world…
It sounds like a bullshit. If you let it go now, it would be strange if Teacher Yu was not sprayed into a sieve.
Of course, Teacher Yu is not just filling chicken soup, he will still draw cakes for everyone.
In current terms, it is forward-looking:
——XX stayed in that university as a professor in the United States. When I went to see him in the United States, I found that he had a car and a house;
——XX heard that I came to the United States, and some of them were very happy and said they would invite me to eat lobster. Finally I invited them to eat lobster;
——XX used to be a poor student in the United States, and now he has become a professor at an American university. With an annual salary of tens of thousands of dollars, he returns to the country during vacations to see friends, and then he returns to the United States to continue to be a professor.
……
Tired, let me summarize. The pie drawn by Teacher Yu is only six words in total: Going to the United States as a professor.
At that time, China’s social development was still very thin. For individuals, there is not much way to go, look up and look forward to. Eating lobster as a professor in the United States is indeed the best vision many people can imagine.
Going abroad is the best way to quickly achieve a class jump. In 2001, the per capita GDP of the United States was 37,133 US dollars; while China was just over 1,000, 1053 US dollars.
The China Center for Modernization Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences once calculated the gap between China and the United States. The results show that if China’s per capita GDP for this year is calculated at the 1990 US dollar exchange rate, the level is only equivalent to that of the United States in 1892. That is the eighteenth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty.
When you see this, you will understand why Jiang Wen has been screaming in “Beijing People in New York”: Please give me a chance to be exploited.
Human, is a kind of subjective initiativeVery sexual creatures, voting with their feet is the most typical proof. Behind the road to chicken babies is the vision of ordinary Chinese people who want to pursue a better life.

In 2019, Imperial College London published a statistical paper in the top medical journal “The Lancet”. It counts the changes in the average height of global adult men and women from 1985 to 2019.
Research shows: China is one of the countries with the largest increase in height over the years. Among them, the average height of Chinese men born in 2000 is 175.7cm. From 1985 to 2019, the height of Chinese men increased by an average of 8 cm. The average height of Chinese women born in 2000 is 163.5, rising to 54th in the world.
This shows that after 40 years of reform, China’s material life is extremely rich and nutrition can generally keep up. Moreover, not only did the children grow taller, but adults also grow their hearts, such as Teacher Yu.
As time has passed, he also understands a truth: nonsense is to go to the All-China Women’s Federation to apologize.
For 40 years, the history of the Chinese chicken baby is actually a process from seeking survival to self-realization. From eating meat, to learning computer English, to becoming a professor in the United States, when each goal is achieved or partially achieved, it is time to change to a new goal.
The Xiaobawang learning machine has long been withdrawn from the stage of history, but its fellow students are selling well. It is the legendary little genius phone watch. The founder is Duan Yongping’s apprentice.
Those nutrition and health products that received IQ tax have long been a laughing stock. Not to mention, many of them are still on sale. Although all goals have been achieved, our generation still cannot escape the fate of the involution of the East Asian continent.
The new generation of Chinese parents have begun to change their methods to go in all kinds of weird directions. As we write this article, the chicken baby method is still constantly updated and iterated, all the way north. Distributing core journals in the name of children, going to East Africa to see the Grand Canyon, and the set of 3000 English words that are not enough in Haidian in the United States is out of date.
Not long ago, someone on Weibo said that a certain scientific researcher saw a group of Chinese children in a small town in the Arctic. When I asked, I found out that it was a graduation expedition trip for a primary school in Chaoyang District, Beijing.
In my opinion, if we continue to develop like this, the progress of the Chinese chicken baby will soon usher in another historical leap forward. No, our probe Tianwen-1 just landed a few days agoMars.
When I saw this news, my first reaction was: If one day Musk’s dream comes true, Chinese parents, it is estimated that they will send their children to Mars for summer vacation.
On that day, if you are walking on the street, you will see an advertising leaflet like this: Come, we will send your child to Mars for the summer vacation; if you don’t come, we will send your child’s competitor to go!
