In 2005, I joined the army of civil servants as soon as I graduated. At that time, I lived in a dormitory building transformed from the office building of the administrative office during the commune period.
This is a three-story building, with bricks outside and cement and wooden floors inside. There is only one bathroom on each floor, and each bathroom has three squatting positions, regardless of gender. The sound insulation effect is not good, and the creaking sound of wooden boards gives people a feeling of traveling through time and space.
The bathroom on the third floor was later transformed into a bathroom and laundry room. Comparatively speaking, location, lighting and living conditions are the best, followed by the second floor and the first floor. There were two departments working on the second floor at that time. Except for their offices and archives, other rooms have become dormitories for young people.
Although the conditions are very simple, it is already excellent for me who just started working without any savings. Can I have a free dormitory, or the first mate helped me get it. At that time, it was not the cadres of important departments who could live in it, nor the departmental cadres who had office ownership there.
When I checked in, there were already several young people living in it, all of whom belonged to the municipal authorities. According to the principle of first come, first served, the rooms on the third and second floors are all young people I reported before. I live on the first floor with a young man transferred from the county.
Because they belong to the same municipal Committee compound and different departments, everyone is very young and soon they play together. At that time, we talked about the working environment, income level, living conditions, people and things of gossip institutions, and occasionally talked until tomorrow. The rest of the day is cooking, climbing mountains and playing ball together, and the days are very brisk.
The good years of eating, drinking and having fun together have made up for the disillusionment of civil servants, relieved loneliness, enriched my youth, and made my first years in the government compound have a bright and cheerful color.
This kind of friendship is simple and simple, which is very rare and precious. I became good friends with several of them, and they are still very close to this day. Most importantly, I found my life partner there.
Later, we
The young people in this building are all highly educated, including one graduate student, two high flyers from 985 universities, and the others are graduates from key universities. Everyone is admitted directly from the school and has many common topics.
We were divided into two groups. One group is local people. They never wanted to leave. What they are most concerned about is when they can be promoted. Before another group of people came to take the exam, they didn't expect the income of civil servants in that area to be so low, so they were most concerned about two things: first, when they could get a raise; The other is whether there is a chance to transfer to the provincial capital or developed areas.
That's what we think and do.
Now 14 years have passed, how have we changed when we parted ways and tried to pursue our dreams? List a few representative figures, let's feel it.
1No.: Brother Jin, deputy director of a ministry in Hong Kong.
I was in the previous "civil servants transferred from different places, it is difficult to go to the sky!" He was introduced in the article. If one word is used to describe his life, it is legend.
I graduated from a 2 1 1 university, Selected Graduates, and it took me only 9 years to walk all the way from the township to the districts, cities and provinces and then to Hong Kong.
Whenever he is mentioned, we are both envious and amazed. I have to say that his strength and luck coexist. There should not be many such examples.
Second place: Jun Ge, a district leader, deputy division level.
In 2006, the city selected young cadres as the top leaders of towns and villages, and only two people met the requirements. He 1 left us brothers and sisters who played together far behind.
To tell the truth, in terms of strength and ability, he is not the best in our group, but he is the only one who meets the requirements, so sometimes promotion does not necessarily depend on ability, and conditions are also very important. For example, if he is a master and others are not, it is possible to break through.
No.3: Li Ge, head of an important department directly under the municipal government.
In 2006, Brother Li chose to resign and go to graduate school. Three years later, he worked in a research institute in the provincial capital, but he was hesitant because he was separated from his lover, who always wanted him to go back to his original unit.
Later, when his son was born, the life of separation between the two places prompted him to make up his mind and finally returned to his original unit.
Why can he go back? Because of his school and major, it is probably the only school and major in China that can be directly employed without examination.
Li Ge's choice has always had two voices. His wife and son are naturally happy, but his mother has always felt sorry and showed regret in front of us.
Actually, I also feel a little pity. With his talent, he can develop well in the provincial capital. If he finally wants to go back, why did he leave? The years that delayed graduate school and work were enough for him to by going up one flight of stairs.
Fourth place: Ge Hua, provincial department, ranking unknown.
Brother Hua is the young man who lives on the first floor with me. At that time, he was not close to us, just a nodding acquaintance. I often meet him when I wash my face, which is quite embarrassing.
Graduated from 985 university, very calm and introverted, really suitable for organization. His experience is also very inspiring. It took seven years from the county seat to the municipal department and then to the provincial department. Later, after he was transferred to the provincial capital, we didn't hear from him.
5th place: Ye, section chief of the provincial department.
My friends and I are very good friends. They are the references of Mr. Zhou and me.
She is eloquent, sociable, flexible and capable. It turns out that she is in a real power department and will soon be promoted to a place pair place. However, in order to solve the separation between the two places, she chose the marginal office of the provincial marginal department, which can be said to have made great sacrifices for her family.
Sixth place: Mr. Zhou, a university teacher.
My love, whose experience is already familiar to everyone,1graduated from a university in 985. Not satisfied with the salary of several hundred yuan, she resolutely resigned and studied all the way to stay and teach. It's hard, but it's still worth it
No 7: Huai Dao, a public institution in a certain district, an ordinary employee.
I am myself, for the sake of love and family, from the deputy department of the municipal department to the ordinary staff of the district-owned institutions. If you ask me if I have any regrets, what do you say?
When Mr. Zhou bullied me, I was angry that I had a crush on him.
When Teacher Zhou loved me, I praised myself for being brave and decisive. It is wise to choose him!
Ha ha!
There are several close friends, still in the original unit. Among them, Mingjie was promoted to section chief very early, but she has been standing still since then, and now she has become a veteran figure in the system; Brother Cheng is very handsome, but he may be a little slow in doing things, so his development is slow. Now he is only a minor subject. Xiu Jie is a diligent editor, so she can't be promoted, but she is very admirable. She is a military wife, and now she is separated from her husband. She raised her daughter by herself, and her daughter was very independent. Brother Hui is a supernumerary, and now he has moved to a certain enterprise, and his income has doubled several times.
The way forward
14 years later, everyone has their own family and career, and they usually have little contact. However, except for Brother Jun and Brother Hua, the rest of us are still friends, and a phone call can make each other talk.
The last gathering of people who stayed in the local area was when I was pregnant. Brother Jin, Miss Zhou and I weren't there at that time. Everyone else came. At the moment when Mr. Zhou and I video with them, it seems that we have returned to the summer 14 years ago. How beautiful and young!
After graduation, it is very satisfying to gain such friendship!
Looking back on our way forward, I have three insights to share with you:
1. Don't abandon or give up.
If you have a dream, you have to pursue it. We all fantasize about leaving, going to a big place, or going to a provincial capital. Now most people have done it. We bravely took the first step and seized the opportunity.
No matter how difficult the process is, in retrospect, it's just that, so don't be afraid of difficulties, don't abandon, don't give up.
On the road of chasing dreams, never give up growth, or master knowledge, or accumulate strength, or accumulate contacts. Maybe at the next corner, these will help us harvest our dreams.
Step by step, step by step
Through the experience of my building friends, we will find a truth: as long as we are one step ahead, it is possible to lead step by step.
For example, Brother Jun, who entered the office as a graduate student, was the deputy director when he became a full member, so his starting point was higher than ours. When selecting young cadres in the city, only the condition of "cadres who have served for three years and are under the age of 30" brushed off a number of competitors. Later, he became the head of villages and towns and was listed as a reserve cadre of district-level metre leaders. It can be said that it is quite beautiful!
And brother Li, because of graduate work, has been delayed for four years. If he had been in his original unit for four years, it is not impossible for his current department to be a deputy place. At that time, there were few young people and few competitors, but four years later, he began to compete with a group of rising stars from the deputy director, and the promotion speed was still affected.
What you give is what you get.
There is no perfect life, only an expedient choice.
Mr. Zhou and I both have gains and losses. Who can tell if this choice is right? After all, you can't live two lives at the same time to compare, let alone start over. Only the pursuit of the initial heart, suitable for the current choice is the best!
People often think of these old friends when they reach middle age. May our future road become broader! May everyone be safe and happy!
