Why do rural families "sell iron for their children to go to college"?
For a long time, many parents in rural areas have not attended school for several years, so their culture is naturally not high. But they have always been very persistent about their children going to school: as long as they can study and study, they should also provide for their children to go to college.

In order to provide education for children, they always work hard with satisfaction.

They don't have the insight and foresight that "knowledge can change fate", but they firmly believe that "they have planted land all their lives and can't let their children suffer" and provide education for their children without regrets.

The hard life in the countryside lets them know that only by studying and going to college can children from poor families have a stable job and avoid such a hard life.

In the final analysis, they all want to get out of the countryside, and reading is the best way for them to get ahead!

Just like Hello in Old Times, after discovering the relationship between Chu Tiankuo and Ling Xiangqian, the dean decided to remove Chu Tiankuo from the post of President of the Student Union, and because this post can give extra points to the college entrance examination, Chu Tiankuo gave it to Cici after a little thought.

I don't want to criticize Chu Tiankuo's selfishness and lack of sense of responsibility, because he comes from a family at the bottom of society, and passing the college entrance examination is his only way out. He can't make any mistakes on the way to the college entrance examination, because the poverty at home tells him that even a centimeter's mistakes may make his future worse.

This is also the projection of many modern rural families. Parents don't have much education, and their families are very ordinary. If children don't study, they will spend every day at the bottom like their parents, or even worse.

Just like my parents, although I came to work in the city very early, I didn't read much. After coming out to work, getting married and having me, they firmly believe in one sentence: knowledge changes fate.

So they hope I can study hard, get into a good university, find a good job and earn a lot of money in the future. They often tell me some trite but true facts:

"Only by studying can you get ahead."

"We used to be wronged because we didn't read many books."

"As long as you are willing to study, I won't let you be wronged."

"I will lend you money to read, as long as you study hard."

Thank you to every parent who sells iron in a pot for their children to go to college. You gave them a chance to have a bright future.
