The middle school where I studied

The middle school where I studied was in my hometown, and it was the only middle school there.

Our township government managed approximately 22 production brigades (rural collective units), each with its own elementary school.

When children started school, they attended the elementary school of their production brigade because these schools were nearby.

Thus, when we started middle school in our hometown, we didn’t know each other because we came from different elementary schools.

Every year, new students entering grade 1 of middle school from those elementary schools totaled roughly 150, divided into three classes named A, B, and C. When I started middle school, I was in Class A.

The school buildings were all bungalows made of brick and tile. The school’s facilities were very basic. We had no electricity, no hot water, no bathrooms, and our dormitory even had two holes in its walls.

We, the students, were all from poor farmers’ families, and our only goal in studying there was to secure a job in the cities through our hard work.

However, the chances to work for the government in the cities were few—only about five or six students were selected each year.

As a result, most students failed the selection exam and had to return to their villages to work as farmers.

Nevertheless, that was the situation long ago. Nowadays, students have more options and can live their lives more happily.
