王宝强许三多的英语作文许三多士兵突击后的感想

Two years ago, Wang Baoqiang was a nobody. He would stand

in front of the Beijing Film Studio everyday, waiting for

a chance to play a tiny part in any film. Now, the 23-

year-old is a household name. His character Xu Sanduo in

Soldier Sortie has catapulted him to stardom.

Wang, the youngest of a poor farming family, left his home

in Hebei Province at 8 to study kungfu at the Shaolin

Temple. At 15, he went to Beijing to pursue a future that

seemed impossible from the window of his village. After

much hard work, he won a role in Blind Shaft, a job his

childhood pals would never have imagined possible.

Success like Wang's is the dream of many young Chinese.

They have left their mundane lives, chasing a better

future than the one their parents' generation lived. Like

Wang, some made it and now have a fatter wallet and higher

social status.

Moving up

In other words, they are the beneficiaries of social

mobility. According to social scientists, social mobility

is an individual's or a group's movement through the

socio-economic structure of a society over time.

It is measured by comparing the social class origin of an

individual (usually determined by their parents' social

class) against their social class classification as an

adult.

Fu Yong, a professor at the China Center for Economic

Studies at Fudan University, believes social mobility

helps keep society stable. "It provides opportunities for

people at the grassroots level to climb the social ladder.

If the disadvantaged see no hope for the future, they will

rebel," said Fu.

China's fast development offers paths for the young to

rise, said Sun Liping, a professor of sociology at

Tsinghua University. "Traditionally, education and

marriage help people change their economic status," said

Sun. "Starting their own business is another choice."

Education the key

Sun believes education is the main way for young people to

move upward in society. In 2006, 22 percent of Chinese

young people of college age were studying at university,

according to a Ministry of Education report. By 2010, the

figure will be 25 percent. joozone.com

Education is directly related to economic status. The 2005

Report on the Development of Chinese Society by Renmin

University suggests that those whose salary is above

15,000 yuan a year are mainly higher education graduates.

People with a yearly salary of less than 6,500 yuan tend

to be those who left school at junior high level.

"Higher education makes a major difference in young

people's development. Students go away with improved

skills," said Tian Qiuhua, deputy dean of the education

department of Guangzhou University. "It is a vital aid for

eventual entry into a higher social class."

However, the cooling of the job market in recent years has

weakened education's role in lifting a person's economic

and social status. College graduates are finding it's

becoming more difficult to find a job with a decent

salary.

ChinaHR.com, a leading recruitment website, says salaries

of graduates in 2007 have dropped 7.1 percent compared

with 2006. "As competition gets harsher in cities, it is

no longer easy for young entrants into the labor market to

land jobs that pay high wages," said Fu Yong at Fudan

University.

But many young people still has faith in mobility. "There

were always opportunities," said Xu Konglong, a student

majoring in civil engineering in Shantou University.

"Society permits its rare talents to flourish regardless

of their situation."
