"Stop the internal roll, 200 million Chinese young people will break out of a new height"

"I get up in the morning and do a job that I don’t like at all,

I just work for money, but the money is still poor,

I have made more effort every day, but the situation has not changed at all,

I'm not just tired, I am exhausted. "

This is the line in the American drama "Little Sieton",

Say the voice of "fighting workers".

Now more and more young people,

Popularize the word "fighting workers" to ridicule itself.

Writer Yang Zhao and the daughter of the pianist

An interview with Yang Zhao, a famous writer and literary critic,

Talk to him about "fighting workers".

Yang Zhao, graduated from Harvard University,

When he was in his 20s, he was determined to be a person without a title.

Recently, he has released a set of audio programs,

Interpret the idea of ​​German sociology Max Weber.

Weber said the distinction between "career" and "ambition",

The psychology of young people and even middle -aged people is being hit.

In our interview, Yang Zhao took Weber's thought as a "tool",

Talk about the various situations faced by "fighting workers",

For example, the 35 -year -old age threshold, inner volume cycle,

For large factory positions, pursuit of civil servants, etc.

"Chinese young people are very capable generations,

According to Taoism, if it breaks out, it should be able to reach a height. "

The word "fighting workers" becomes popular, which is a sad thing.

"Working" is never a good thing in Chinese, indicating that this is not a stable job, and it is not high. "Playing workers" continues such negative associations, and it may be from Hong Kong, especially in Hong Kong movies.

Many people feel that the same illness is compatible, and they are not doing what they want to do; further, you think that this job may be lost at any time, and you are still a free relationship with your work.

In the drama of "My Liberation Log"

When I was in the second grade of history in college, I started to study Weber. No one can live on the island alone. We must live in society. Weber establishes this system of knowledge to guide us how to think about modern society and let us face the various doubts of society.

The distinction between Weber's "career" and "ambition" is hitting our psychology.

What is the way out of history? The consideration called "career" means that we go to the system that adapt to reality, put ourselves into the existing framework, find a job, and receive salary. But you have to remember that this is not the most important thing in life.

Weber reminds us that the relationship between people and work should pursue Vocation (vocation, indicating that it is a sacred call), not a professional.

In a lifetime, if your life is meaningful to live, it is necessary to do it -that is called Zhiye. People stand on this business, get their own dignity, and a sense of creativity.

Yang Zhao at Harvard University

Yang Zhao is good at talking about history in a popular way. Many books are sold well to the one -version of the reprinting: "Chinese History for everyone", "Reading of Historical Records", "Story to illuminate the future" ...

I am almost 60 years old this year, and I have never forced myself to accept any occupation. No matter how much money it is for me and what kind of working conditions, I don't want to do things that I feel meaningless.

My most important identity, the most important job -I am a reader.

I have done many different jobs, but most of the jobs are related to reading.

At this time, we are not using a "work" mentality. The pursuit of this matter is a deeper layer, bringing deeper satisfaction to you, and of course, it may also bring deeper setbacks.

The so -called "career" is an exchange. You are no longer a creator and wait for yourself as a worker in exchange for the sense of security under the economic and social structure.

"Playing workers" is so sad that even the stability guarantee of "career" has been lost.社会变动太快，很多人觉得自己是半路出家，转到这个行业没有一定的必然性，栖栖遑遑，不知道两三年之后是不是还在做这个，不能安身，更不要说立命。

What should I do if you think that you are "fighting workers" and have such emotions just said?

I can only respond to the slogan that sounds very old- "fighting workers" to work hard for my destiny.

Ask angrily, who did you make you a "fighting worker"? Especially now, "fighting workers" and "inner rolls" are combined. I only read the undergraduate and tell you not to do it. A little better job should be left to graduate students, so you have to take the postgraduate entrance examination and study abroad. What I get is the work of working. There is a gap between self -preparation and the conditions given to society. How does this gap formed?

After you figure it out, you know how to change.

The programmers in "Everything Good"

Looking at the big factory, my basic attitude is that I want to mention a completely opposite slogan- "Small I intentionally."

Who is it good to? It may be good for such an institutional organization, but is it good for the people inside? This is what we have to think about.

Another thing is that when you are pursuing "big", you lose your delicate level, and only to a delicate degree can you find the space that you really play.

I opened a store today, with a turnover of 30,000 yuan. When I grow up to 150,000, I will open the second branch. After standing firmly, I start to think about where the tenth branch will be. In the process of pursuing "big", the "tool rationality" of modern society restricts who we are and what do we pursue? The so -called tool rationality is calculated strictly with cost efficiency.

In comparison, the spiritual performance of Japanese staff is the most extreme. In fact, the slogan I just said is "small I intentionally." For example, the shop where Karuizawa sells beef rice is queuing up two hours before opening the door, but the boss sends a number plate to everyone, only prepares 100, and 100 bowls of beef rice will be available today.

Grandma who opened the dumpling shop in Japan, follow her interest in the night to go to the nightclub to play discs

Why doesn't he expand, why not give the sense of accomplishment on his company? The sense of accomplishment that he is truly satisfied is that every bowl of beef rice has the ultimate ability. Weber said what it means to be "Zhiye", that is, I have been doing this matter, and I will not be boring because this is the purpose of my life.

I found this, and then I did this, and I was very fulfilled every day. Instead of selling more bowls and more customers to decide whether there is a sense of accomplishment today.

Glass staff and his work

We made our own creators with hands and harden, and became a creator. In Marx's statement, this is the highest value of human life. At this time, beef rice is his creator. He is a creator. Each bowl of beef rice comes from his life. Let him hire someone to make beef rice, which is not the case for him.

I compare "big" and "small" to extremes. The big one must keep expanding. It seems that it can not be dangerous, but what is the significance to those who work under that environment? I hope everyone reflects on the opposite attitude of life.

At the age of 35, the threshold for working age, saying that the mainland is a young society, including everyone retired at the age of 60, and there are not many 60 -year -old retirement society in the world.

Such a society is inclined to the younger generation, so that the young generation has more opportunities to play, but it also produces more highly competitiveness in the younger generation, which will bring a side effect.

Because the biggest feature of the younger generation is the creativity, but the young people spend too much time to compete with each other, causing zero -harmony games (referring to a game, the player has lost and win, and one party win is exactly what the other party loses. The total score of the game is always zero), which further eliminates the most important advantage as a young society -creating a new situation, new job opportunities and new work forms.

In today's state, what I see is that young people spend most of the time to seize the existing job opportunities. Usually they are grabbing "down".

A large number of youths in Beijing take a car from Huoying Station to work from Huoying Station

I really see a lot of excellent young people. They prepared such abilities and will, but they were gone, spending too much time in anxiety. Graving is lower than your preparation.

Doing "down" often means that you can't quickly meet your youth and time, you can't quickly meet the challenges in the process, and make yourself better in the process of challenge.

What are you comparing? How can I only go down a little bit more than me, only to suppress myself a little, so as to find a job.

Young people who study craftsmanship in Jingdezhen

Shi Yan is a post -doctoral post of Tsinghua University. Her husband is a PhD.

Since the reform and opening up, the generation of young people has risen to the world, and it is also a very capable generation. This is a great achievement.

I really hope that the young people of this generation of Chinese can understand this matter. This falls on your shoulders. You should not always want to grab a job that is worse than you. Your own thing.

Young people of 100 million or 200 million Chinese people should be able to reach a height in accordance with the reason. I still keep this highest expectation.

The young people in Taiwan have their problems, there is nothing to have a great volunteer, and do not feel that they can do something great.

Because they are too clear, in society, you take up a certain position, what kind of thing you do, and what will you get in the end is basically fixed.

In China's paid self -study room, 90 % of consumers are white -collar workers who have already worked

From 2008, I went to the mainland and began to observe such a phenomenon: young people are very anxious, and after more than ten years, it seems that they have not really changed.

The place where youth is anxious is because there are too many things that you can't control. This society does not have any effort you can get.

Including the "inner volume" mentioned earlier, you went to study in the United States and Europe and got a degree. All these conditions would not inevitably bring any results. Compared to some people entering a real estate company, in just three years, it becomes a manager, and the monthly income is very high. You are stunned.

Notes of the self -study room learner

So I can understand why everyone wants to go to the civil servant, not just a sense of stability, but also a kind of more than the "guarantee of justice" -how much effort and time you paid, and the results can be foreseeable.

Weber's bureaucratic system refers to a special mechanism in the process of social organizations, which must have a special mechanism. The basic order specifications of the society will be the most stable. Therefore, the two most important features of the bureaucratic system: the first is the hierarchical system, a layer of sector organization; second, its fundamental spirit is to "recognize the program and not recognize people."

From one perspective, it is the most stable, but there must be another side. In order to stabilize, it reduces the role of the individual to the lowest point.

When you want to enter this system, first recognize the two sides of this coin. And after a certain period of time, if you leave this system, it is probably difficult to adapt to the changing society, which is almost a one -way channel.

What way can you use a cycle that is exactly the opposite of the "inner roll"?

Let me give me two examples. Europe used to discuss the protection of "work rights", but Europe is now the most extreme (the most extreme from our perspective) is the right to discuss the protection of "not work".

General minimum income guarantee -means that it may not do anything, and the national government guarantees that he has a certain minimum income. Its concept is "work" is not a need for a person's life. It is a means to choose to achieve life purposes by itself.

For more than half a century, Europe has changed many changes to what is working and what is labor conditions. What we are familiar with today, such as restrictions on working hours, the right to leave, the guarantee of unemployment damage, marriage and childbirth, and even the guarantee of funerals, basically come from Europe.

The second example is what happened in Taiwan, not as dramatic as Europe.

But after decades, compared with our generation, the biggest difference from my daughter is: when we filled in college volunteers at that time, choosing each department represents one way; Fined to trade, laws, and Chinese departments, they imagine what they have to do in the future, and they need to be more open.

The young people in Taiwan have a concept of "Little Fortunately". What is the so -called "small"? It means that everyone has their own path, not all fighting on the same road.

A very small barber shop Visage ONE in Hong Kong, the boss takes care of it alone, with a maximum of 5 guest hairdressers a day.

For example, although opening a cafe is very common, when young people think of this, they have different research places. Some people think that the most important way out is to thoroughly understand all coffee beans. Some people attach great importance to making the decoration atmosphere in the cafe. thing.

The process of Europe has gone through more than half a century; from my generation to the next generation, Taiwan has gone through a generation of practice, so it is still patient.

"I don't want to work, what can I do?" ——At you must accept reality, realize that this is the era, this is society. However, never underestimate yourself.

There is no social norm to be tuned to 100%. There must be some space. You need knowledge and execution to find this must -have space.

Furthermore, you are determined to design smart actions and open this space a little bigger.

Starting from individuals, then slowly become a trend. Everyone can play their own abilities diverse, and get a sense of dignity and creation in work.

At the age of 20, when I was at the history of Taiwan University, I set up a volunteer: I want to be a person who does not go to work for a lifetime. So for a long time, I want to go to the college to be a professor because the professor does not need to check in.

Later, I was 24 or 25 years old. When I was studying at Harvard University, I made another adjustment:

I want to be a person without title and position.

Because I learn the thoughts of Marx and Weber, I can realize that in modern society, as long as there is a title position, there are many norms and hypocrisy. I want to be as much as possible to be an Authentic (real) person.

I am almost 60 years old this year, and basically do it. I have never forced myself to accept any occupation.

I said in "Control Ji@1963". I have worked as a part -time lecturer at Taipei University of Art, but I decided not to go back a few years later.

The clock fee obtained in the class of "Eslite Lecture Hall" and "Minlong Lecture Hall" in the non -school system is five or six times that of the university and class, and those students who pay their own costs are more serious than the college students who have registered with their parents' money. Essence

Later, the University of Art of Taiwan invited me to go to the guest to take a course, and I sincerely applied for the customer's funding. However, the procedures must be filled in many forms. The "form" is the door that I can't break through in my life. I can't see most of the forms of the existence of the form. Therefore, the guest course that was originally agreed was decided.

My most important job: I am a reader who spends a lot of time reading every day. How many books have been published at present, if all the versions are calculated, it should be more than 100.

Maybe my existence can have a little encouraging some young people.
