friend of mine

a friend from childhood, fat & smart guy of physics department of peking university, is about to go to CERN (European Center for Nuclear Research) for one year research. university education in china mainland is being scolding for the cultivation of only work skills by more and more people. since the pressure of unemployment has been the most threat that even the freshman had when they spent their first year in campus, it isn't hard to forsee the trend and, the teacher, i mean the professors can't be absence for this circumstance. there is few department or college, especially of science and technology now doing 'real' researches, that do nothing of what the current commercial sociaty is fascinated about, or is not part of a commercial contract. professors who do not let his student work for his bussiness as an employee(low paid or even for zero!) is because he teach chinese literature or something like that(yet some famous ones teach outside campus to earn money).
so when my friend told me that he is still doing research, i almost envy him. "how about going to work?" once i asked him, "matter of time you know, everyone is got to work, now i have not planned for it yet, all i am thinking about is for my presentation of my recent paper, maybe i have to celebrate a spring fest abroad alone without my family.
