The weight of dreams, the pain of innocence - the story of Zhang
In this world, there are stories that can make people feel stunned because they touch directly into our softest and most complex hearts. For example, what if you dream of becoming a police officer who guards justice, but you are turned away because you are burdened with a past that has nothing to do with you?
Zhang, a student from Shandong, encountered such a ridiculous incident. Student Zhang is not tall, but the ideal in his heart is higher than anyone else - to become a public servant of the people. He was so persistent in this dream that he chose the police academy without hesitation when he filled in the college entrance examination.
However, just as he was looking forward to his heroic appearance in a police uniform, a cold reality gave him a heavy blow: in the political trial link, because his father had made mistakes, his dream of being a police officer was shattered.
Yo, I have to talk about it.
First of all, let's find out, what is a political trial? To put it simply, if a person wants to pursue a particular profession, such as a police officer, his past, or even that of his family, is scrutinized. The original intention of this mechanism is to ensure that the practitioner is of good character.
However, does this mean that children with poor family backgrounds should be deprived of the right to pursue their dreams? There is obviously a frustrating and thought-provoking emotion in this.
Zhang said to the political examiner: "My father made a mistake, why should he punish me?" This sentence is simply a protest of thousands of words. Indeed, he himself is not at fault, why should he bear such consequences for a mistake that has nothing to do with him?
The political examiner's response was simple and cold: "A rule is a rule." This is like a cold blade that cuts off all hope for Zhang. But, it has to be said, this also reflects the reality of society: sometimes, the rules are like that, and it doesn't change because of your innocence.
Let's go back to the original question: does the background of a family really determine a child's future?
At this point, I would like to say that every child is an individual and that their future should not be bound by a past that they cannot choose. The prejudices and rules of society should be more humane and give every individual who works hard a fair chance.
This story may make people think deeply: how to balance justice and opportunity? Does the old concept of the father's debt being repaid still applicable to today's society?
Although it is said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, words and deeds do have a significant impact on children. But that doesn't mean children should pay for their parents' mistakes.
What do you think about this on the other side of the screen? Could it be that Zhang's dream should end silently like this?
Even if your mistake is "legitimate," it may not be legitimate. That's a good saying, but what I want to ask is, is it not legal for a child to have a bright future? Doesn't it make sense?
In this story, there is too much helplessness, too much reflection. Perhaps, what should really be thought about is not only Zhang and his father, but also everyone in our society. Because every student who has been misunderstood and deprived of opportunities is a mirror of our society.
