Chapter 213 Subversion
"Okay, let's work together and take the red flag!" Xiao Yan announced domineeringly with a confident expression on his face.

The next day, Xiao Yan began to give lectures to the literacy class.

He took out a Chinese Pinyin alphabet and showed it to everyone. "Let's start with the initials and finals."

The workers, who had never seen the alphabet, had expressions of surprise on their faces.

A worker asked on the spot. "Director Xiao, aren't we learning Chinese characters? Why do we need to learn these letters?"

Someone agrees. "These letters look weird, and it's not pleasing to the eye!"

"Don't look at the inconspicuousness of these letters, as long as you learn the initials and finals, you can spell the pronunciation of the words yourself without the teacher teaching you." Xiao Yan responded.

"Oh I got it."

"The director of the factory must have had a purpose in letting us learn this. Follow along and we'll be done. There's no need to question the factory director."

Xiao Yan waved his hand to let everyone stop talking.

"Okay, now everyone practice with me, aoeiu u."

Everyone read along with him earnestly. Xiao Yan didn’t teach a single Chinese character before most people learned to use Pinyin proficiently. He thought it seemed that learning Chinese Pinyin was a waste of time. However, due to the solid foundation, the later progress will be very fast. up.

Zheng De showed a disapproving expression after hearing the news. "How can he teach people like him, who doesn't teach people literacy, but only teaches pinyin."

Doctor Song agreed. "That's right, we are serious about teaching, and everyone is also serious about learning; I think we will definitely win this literacy competition!"

Unexpectedly, a few days later, trouble came.

It turns out that there are many illiterate people in the first branch factory who are old and their memory is declining. Because the foundation is not solid, although they barely remembered at the time, they forgot after a night.

Zheng De didn't expect the situation to reverse, imitating Xiao Yan's method in a hurry, and began to speak pinyin. Repeatedly, this naturally affected the progress of learning, causing the gap between the first branch factory and the second branch factory to widen.

Dr. Song gave Zheng De an idea to strengthen his inspection and assessment.

Zheng De also felt that it made sense, and they came up with a solution, that is, all the students participating in the literacy class are not allowed to leave work directly when it is off work time, but go to the conference room to gather.

Zheng De asked people to set up two tables at the door of the conference room, with blackboards on them, and the blackboards were filled with words.

There are people standing guard at the door of the conference room, and they must read before leaving get off work, otherwise they will not be allowed to leave work.

Although Zheng De adopted this extreme method, the effect was not satisfactory. Although Zheng De only asked them to learn some simple Chinese characters, everyone still forgot the characters that should be forgotten.

In contrast, the literacy classes in the No. [-] branch factory were very successful, and everyone aroused their interest in learning.

One day, when Xiao Yan was talking about "Hundred Surnames", there was an episode.At that time, when Xiao Yan was explaining to everyone about Yang, a young worker suddenly questioned him. "Director, the word Yang you wrote is wrong. I remember that Yang should be composed of Mu and Yi. You only have Mu. Where did Yi go?"

This young worker's surname is Yang Mingwan. Although he can't read much, he can still write his own name.

Everyone looked at Xiao Yan to see how he explained.

Xiao Yan responded calmly. "Yang Wan, your question is very good, because I taught you simplified characters."

"No wonder the Yang character you taught is different from what I have learned." Yang Wan nodded. "But why is there a difference between simplified and traditional characters?"

"Simplified characters are not specially made in the new era, but have evolved since ancient times; this evolution process began in the Qin Dynasty. When Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he deeply felt that the six countries' writing and pronunciation were different, which provided communication between each other. There were barriers to communication; so on the basis of Qin Dazhuan, it absorbed many simplified characters popular in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, created Xiaozhuan, and set it as the official unified language."

Xiao Yan talked eloquently. "Later, people felt that Xiaozhuan was still somewhat inconvenient in the process of writing, so the official script was popular among the people, and the official continued to use Xiaozhuan. This two-track system continued until the end of the Western Han Dynasty, when the official script finally replaced the official status of Xiaozhuan; After the development, regular script, running script and other fonts appeared; before the Tang Dynasty, Wanzi was not written in this way, but was written as Wan. After the Song Dynasty, with the development of printed books, Songzi appeared again, because it is eye-catching and easy to read, it has been used to this day.”

Xiao Yan demonstrated various fonts on the blackboard. "The new era is nothing more than re-collecting these simplified characters and promoting them."

Everyone discussed after hearing the words.

"It turns out that with the development of the times, Chinese characters are also developing."

"Yes, since the general public has the need to simplify and simplify, Chinese characters have also changed accordingly."

"You are right, I believe there will be more simplified characters in the future."

"Yes, this is also a reasonable thing."

Xiao Yan turned to the iron, and after finishing the "Hundred Surnames", he began to talk about Chinese characters related to steel mills, and after finishing Chinese characters, he started to talk about numbers, so that they could carry out their work better.

As the saying goes, nothing happens without a book, and Chepnovsky also went to Rongcheng to work in the main factory.

One day, he came to the No. [-] branch factory to inspect the work, and saw Xiao Jiang tightening the screws hard, observing with great interest.

Xiao Jiang put down the tools in his hand and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Chepnovsky. "Hey, you haven't finished your work yet, how can you leave?"

"I've screwed it all the way, I can't screw it anymore!" Xiao Jiang responded.

Chepnovsky looked contemptuous. "Who told you that you can't screw it anymore, look at me."

He twisted it with his hand, and sure enough, some more went in. "Look at me, haven't I twisted it? You can twist it in. You can try again."

Xiao Jiang exhausted all her strength, but she still couldn't twist it at all.

"Young man, you look quite strong, does this need some strength?" Chepnovsky sneered.

At this time Yu Haitang arrived, she stepped forward and said. "Let me do it."

Chepnovsky looked shocked. "Beauty, can you be so weak?"

"Don't underestimate women!" Yu Haitang put a tube on the tool and gently turned the screw. "This is the power of leverage. A great man once said, give me a lever, and I can move the earth!"

"You don't rely on strength, it doesn't count!" Chepnovsky was still unconvinced.

"Comrade, this is not a weightlifting competition. Working in a factory requires wisdom!" Yu Haitang taught him a lesson.

"Comrade Haitang is right!" Xiao Yan interrupted. "But you are still a little bit close, and you can screw it."

Chepnovsky was unimpressed. "impossible!"

Xiao Yan pulled it out lightly, and sure enough, he twisted two fingers in again.

Yu Haitang showed an expression of admiration. "Sure enough, it's brother Xiao Yan, who is extraordinary once he makes a move!"

Chepnovsky stared at Xiao Yan and remained silent.

"Hey, why are you looking at Brother Xiao Yan like this?" Yu Haitang asked.

"I have also seen many strong men. They are all muscular and burly men; but Xiao Yan is different from them. He subverted my understanding of strength!" Chepnovsky showed a curious expression on his face.
