Now „eliminating illiteracy” this word already left the stage of history of China. 如今“扫盲”这个词早已退出了中国历史的舞台。 If below 40 years old, parents are not literate are very actually strange, if must talk about the illiterate person at least also to arrange to the grandfather generation. 如果是40岁以下,父母不识字的话倒是很稀奇,如果要讲到文盲至少也要排到爷爷辈。 Chinese anti-illiteracy, has continued since the 50's in the 21 st century, falls from 80% illiteracy rates to less than 3%, should be the miracle of human history. 中国扫盲运动,从50年代开始一直持续到21世纪,从80的文盲率降到不足3,应该是人类历史的奇迹。 When new China was established, in ten people can discover two will write oneself name is very difficult, the elementary school graduated the cultural worker, which resembles the university student many like the dog, the doctor everywhere walks now. 新中国成立之时,十个人里面能找出两个会写自己名字的都很困难,小学毕业就算文化人了,哪像现在大学生多如狗,博士满地走。 After reform and opening, opened a round anti-illiteracy, entire Hong River Bridge People's commune the eliminating illiteracy duty does not attain a designated standard year after year, Lizhuang such sets the base year after year. 改革开放后又是开启了一轮扫盲运动,整个洪河桥公社年年扫盲任务不达标,李庄这样的更是年年垫底。 In this county made a determined effort, which village does not attain a designated standard, this brigade secretary was also to the end. 这次县里发了狠,哪个村不达标,这个大队书记也是到头了。 Liu Chuanqi became alarmed, secretaries with Shangba Village equals, two villages start work together, year 30 nearby mobilize everybody, then hoped can this matter managing. 刘传奇着了慌,跟上坝村的书记一合计,两个村一起开班,年30的跟前都把大家都动员起来,便是盼着能把这事给办了。 Team that this time builds temporarily, in the county has not sent the work to eliminate illiteracy member, has pushed several grade teachers and Li He, is the representative teacher , is Gu Buzhuo they glad, assigned the candidate directly. 这次是临时搭的班子,县里没有派扫盲工作队员,只好把几个小学教师和李和推了上去,做民代老师,也顾不着他们乐不乐意,直接把人选给定了。 They clean cleanly the room of village committee, the gang messed about, to hang the blackboard temporarily, can only move in some broken wooden benches without the furniture, was passable, like this has become the classroom. 他们把村委会的屋子打扫干净,一伙人瞎闹腾,临时挂了黑板,没有桌椅只能搬来一些破木长板凳,凑合凑合,就这样成了教室。 The classroom had, Liu Chuanqi has met with the past same issue, the villagers are not positive, try every means to persuade are not willing to come, this eliminating illiteracy object is in the majority by the woman, some people said: „Daytime sees the child, does laundry, cooks, where has in the time the after-hours school for adults?” 教室有了,刘传奇又遇到了跟以往一样的问题,村民们并不积极,好说歹说就是不愿意来,这扫盲对象以妇女居多,有人说:“白天看孩子,洗衣服,烧饭,哪有时间上民校？” Some feudalistic thinking serious old women do not let on oneself girl and daughter-in-law the literacy class. They said: „In man woman dark night the after-hours school for adults mixes in the same place, well what has? Where does the cotton see fire unable to have?” 有些封建思想严重的老太太不让自己的姑娘、儿媳上扫盲班。她们说:“男人女人黑夜上民校搅和在一起,有什么好的？棉花见火哪有不着的？” Li He sees Liu Chuanqi corners of the mouth to get angry, is so awkward, said, „you are broadcasting to shout a throat greatly, our village eliminates illiteracy not to attain a designated standard, receives, opens has mess”. 李和见刘传奇嘴角上火,这么为难,就说,“你在大广播里喊一嗓子,咱村扫盲不达标,地收回来,重新开吃大锅饭”。 This year tastes the excessive place advantage, who also wants to have the mess? 这年头尝过分地的好处,谁还想吃大锅饭？ Liu Chuanqi stamps the feet, acts accordingly, thought that must old ladies who governs this group not to be free from worry. 刘传奇一跺脚,照办,心想非得治治这帮不省心的老娘们。 In the village broadcasts a sound, that group of diehard do not come also to come, two stare dry/does, scolded while compromised, looks at their appearances, 村里广播一响,那群顽固分子是不来也得来,一个两个干瞪着眼,边骂边妥协,看她们的模样, Wang Yulan is not glad to eliminate illiteracy to manage, squeak sound said: „A generation of one who has eyes yet fails to see, how the knowledgeable several characters can become an immortal are.
