Perhaps many people think that the greatest impact of nine years of compulsory education on us is literacy and simple arithmetic. English and mathematics are of little use in our lives. If you don't go abroad, you can basically travel around the country in Mandarin. If you are just an ordinary citizen, advanced numbers and functions will not save you a few dollars when buying things.
But what I want to say is that this knowledge may seem useless, but they actually subtly change your way of thinking and exercise your thinking ability.
A popular joke on Weibo was about the role of learning Chinese. When you see the river reflecting the brilliant colors under the sunset and a few egrets flying in the sky, you The first sentence that comes to mind is not "Fuck, it's so beautiful", but "The setting clouds and solitary swans are flying together, the autumn water is the same color as the sky."
If you study biology, you will know that the birth of a boy or a girl actually depends on the man's sperm, instead of just complaining that the woman can't give birth to a son and always gives birth to a daughter. You will know that the determination of whether a boy or a girl is born is not which sperm swims the fastest, but which sperm is the luckiest to combine with the egg when the egg cell shell is decomposed by enzymes.
If you have studied geography, you will know why the regional differences between the north and the south of our country are so big. What are the reasons for these regional differences, whether it is climate or latitude. You will know why the temperature gets lower as you go up the same mountain, and why the plants get higher and lower as they go up. Trees turn into shrubs, and eventually they turn into vegetation. You will know the pattern of vertical plant distribution.
If you study history, you will know why our country hates drugs so much and why it cracks down on drug trafficking and transportation so hard. You can clearly remember the scene when Lin Zexu destroyed cigarettes in Humen. If you don’t study history, Do you know how prosperous the Tang Dynasty was? Do you know how many firsts our country has created? Do you know how high the achievements of the ancients were?
These may seem to you to be common knowledge, or even common sense, but it is undeniable that these are the gains brought to us by the nine-year compulsory education.

I feel that I am worthy of your attention. How about I Try it?"
