Since Zhang Han won the home run and helped Xinghe Middle School reverse the turn.

He became the hero in his cousin's mind.

Not only my cousin, but also my cousin's friends, all regarded him as a god-level figure.

You have to take a photo, sign, and even ask him to help and guide the team.

"You are going to junior high school for the third year soon. Don't you need to prepare for the high school entrance examination?"

Zhang Han was very surprised.

The reason why he did not choose to return to China when he went to high school in Tokyo was because he had to take the high school entrance examination after he came back.

After studying in Tokyo for three years, his course progress will definitely not keep up. He is better at science and is talented, so it is not impossible to sprint for a while.

It’s different for liberal arts, he will definitely stop.

Because he couldn't get into high school, he chose to stay in Tokyo and go to high school there.

Now Lan Xiang and his friends are about to enter the third year of junior high school, and they will have one year left to take the high school entrance examination.

Zhang Han doesn't think they have much time to play baseball. And once they enter high school, their courses will only be tighter, and they have to do one or two sets of test papers almost every day.

Continuing to learn baseball is probably a luxury.

If you really don’t even get into college because of playing baseball, or you can get into a first-tier school, because your energy is involved, you can only get into a second-tier school.

That's all regrets.

Each country has its own national conditions, which is the so-called general environment.

It's not completely impossible to do it against the environment.

In mainland China, I haven’t attended much school, and there are also examples of success and fame.

But that is a very rare one.

If you pick out one percent of successful people, then look at their education.

Most of the education levels must be undergraduate or above.

This is the general environment.

When you are in this place, education is a crucial pass. With it, you may not succeed. But without it, the road ahead of you will definitely be thorns step by step.

"We were all intercepted, as long as we finish our homework, we still have a lot of free time."

It was not until this time that Zhang Han realized that although he had only been away for a few years, his hometown had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Not only are there more tall buildings, but there are more cars on the street, and even the education system is different.

Since Zhang Han has memories, he can feel the changes in his hometown almost every few years.

In contrast, the international metropolis in Tokyo, if there is a magnitude of change, it is probably not as good as the small city as theirs.

Not to mention anything else, just take your salary as an example. In early 2000, Lan He, who graduated from a technical secondary school, could find a good job, so why did he still have to work in Tokyo?

In fact, the reason is very simple, it is because of money.

At the beginning of the two thousand years, Ms. Lan He was able to find the best job, her monthly salary was only 650 yuan.

There were still many jobs at that time, even four or five hundred a month.

What is her salary when she goes to Tokyo to work as a textile worker?

7,000 yuan, one month!

As long as you work for a year, the other party’s promised salary can reach 200,000.

That was the beginning of the two thousand years, six hundred and fifty yuan a month, how long will it take to earn enough 200,000?

The young Ms. Lan He did some calculations and saved up 200,000 yuan for twenty years.

She set a small goal for herself and came back after working for five years. By then, she would be a rich woman with a net worth of millions.

Who would have thought that in the past 20 years, the entire China has undergone earth-shaking changes.

High-speed rail, information, network, lunar exploration spacecraft, aircraft...

Let’s not talk about these major aspects, just take this third- and fourth-tier small city as an example. The biggest change is wages.

In the early 2000s, the average salary in small cities was five or six hundred.

A few years later, the salary has increased by about 50%, reaching a level of 700 to 800.

From 2008 to 2010, the salary was over 1,000.

In other words, in less than ten years, wages have increased by nearly triple.

By 2011, wages had generally reached 1,500 yuan, and that was not very high.

If the salary in the past was low and the country developed rapidly after it was improved, it would be understandable.

But the problem is that since 2011, the speed of progress has not slowed down at all.

In 2014 and 2015, wages doubled again, generally reaching 3,000.

In 2017, it generally reached 4,000.

In 2019, it generally reached 5,000.

In this small city, it is not considered a civil servant or a public institution, but a blue-collar worker working in a factory.

If the factory has good performance, someone can get six or seven thousand yuan. If you apply for such a position, the education required is a college degree.

The factory has a little less profit and can earn more than 5,000 yuan in salary. The application conditions have been reduced by two levels, which requires a technical secondary school, and in fact, it is also possible to graduate from junior high school.

Five insurances and one fund are not included, these are simply the wages paid.

(This is talking about Xiaoxiong's hometown. If the city can be divided into 18th tiers, Xiaoxiong's hometown is a small county town on the 18th tier. If it can be divided into 30th tiers, this is a small county town on the 30th tier. The data is real, and I am grateful to the motherland. In fact, I don't feel deeply in my hometown. Those international students or overseas Chinese who live abroad all year round have a greater feeling when they come back and almost cannot find their own home.)

Although the corresponding rise in housing prices and prices is also very amazing.

House prices rose from 700 square meters to more than 400 square meters.

Prices of vegetables have basically tripled. In the early 2000s, vegetables were basically five or six cents, seven or eight cents, and now they are basically two or three cents.

The pork has even skyrocketed.

But to be honest, overall, the conditions are good.

Although consumption has tripled, its income has increased by ten times on average. Of course, there are also groups who earn three or four thousand or even two or three thousand yuan now.

But don’t forget that more than ten years ago, there were many people who didn’t make money at all.

Even housing prices have only increased by six or seven times compared to more than ten years ago, and have not kept up with the increase in income.

Over the past decade, there have been earth-shaking changes.

More than ten years ago, the annual salary of 200,000 was enough to make people fascinated.

But now, although it is still high in wages, it is far less shocking than it used to be.

It used to take twenty years for workers to make this money, but now it may take two or three years to catch up.

The most interesting thing is that 20 years ago, the annual salary of female textile workers in the island country was more than 100,000 yuan, but now it may be 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, but it is only about 20, and some are less than 20.

This is the same with our treasure island.

When watching Baodao’s own program, they have not increased their income for a full twenty years.

I am not afraid of not knowing the goods, but I am afraid of comparing goods.

In contrast, the development speed and development opportunities of my hometown are obviously different.

If you hadn't chosen the baseball path, after finishing high school, Zhang Han would have to come back no matter what.

Otherwise, he might be out of date.

Among them, what made Zhang Han feel the most was mobile payment. Although when he went to Tokyo to study, there was already mobile payment in his hometown.

But mobile payment at that time was not very popular, especially for some older people, they could not use it at all.

But this time Zhang Han returned to China and went to the supermarket with his aunt. He saw with his own eyes what it means to scan his face.

You don’t need a mobile phone, just pay by scanning your face, just like a science fiction scene depicted in online novels.

I dare not say anything else, at least ten years ago, this scene would only appear in science fiction movies.

This time Zhang Han returned to China, the biggest feeling was the impact of the sharing economy and mobile payment.

Shared electric vehicles and face-scanning payment.

It may be simple to say, but after you really experience it, you will know how magical it is?

Of course, there is baseball.

Originally, Zhang Han always thought that baseball was difficult to prevail in the mainland.

But now it seems that it is not the case. With the improvement of living conditions, material abundance.

Some sports that were originally very troublesome and consumed relatively high also began to become increasingly popular in the mainland.

The only thing that restricts the development of sports now is the children's learning tasks.
