Maotan Factory Middle School, known as "the largest college entrance examination factory in Asia", has become the focus and topic of mainstream media every year. Maotanchang Town, Lu 'an City, Anhui Province, is also the only town in China that relies on the college entrance examination to support itself, and it is also the only town that can have a "summer vacation" every year.
This relatively remote town has a total population of 50,000, of which 30,000 are migrants. Rents have been rising year after year, almost to the north. The business abacus here is as loud as reading.
The college entrance examination has never been a war for one person. The actions of countless accompanying mothers are touching.
Maotan Factory Middle School is famous for its high pressure, hard study and strict management, and is called "the largest college entrance examination factory in Asia". The annual college entrance examination undergraduate online rate exceeds 90%.
"No matter how bad the grades are, the students sent can realize their college dreams." On June 5th every year, Maotan Factory Middle School welcomes the annual "Examination Festival" for 10,000 people, and 28 buses carry students to Lu 'an to take the college entrance examination.
10 Over the years, thousands of parents who want to succeed have sent their children here, and there is not enough school accommodation, so many parents rent a house locally to "accompany them".
A tiny place of 3.5 square kilometers, with a population of about 50,000, of which the local household registration is only 1 10,000. Among the remaining 30,000 foreigners, there are more than 10000 students and accompanying parents, and more than 10000 businessmen who come from all directions to "serve" parents and students. Year after year, the economy of Maotanchang Town is like a vine, clinging to the big tree of Maotanchang Middle School.
In order to let students study with peace of mind, the local government even closed all entertainment places in the town, including internet cafes, game halls and billiards halls, leaving only vendors, restaurants and clothing stores.
At the age of 22, he escaped from the college entrance examination town without telling his parents.
Every year, tens of thousands of international students and accompanying parents flock to the town, which gives birth to the fiery "real estate economy" in this remote area.
At present, the cheapest rent for a house in town is about 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a year, and the most expensive is more than 20,000 yuan. If you have a suite and a building within 500 meters of Fiona Fang, that means you are rich.
Parents accompanying Maotan factory sat at the school gate and stuttered leftovers.
If you have a five-story building with 28 rooms near a middle school, the average price of each room is 8,000 yuan per semester, which can bring in nearly 400,000 yuan per year. In the town, there are countless rental notices for "accompanying reading rooms". At present, the rent is still rising at the rate of 500~ 1000 yuan per year. A simple single room, the rent is 7000 yuan per semester (about 5 months). In April of 20 14, the price of a building at the back door of the school reached 6000 yuan/square meter, which was quickly snapped up.
This year is 40 years since 1977 resumed the college entrance examination. That winter, more than 5 million young people poured into the examination room. Today, there are 9.4 million candidates in China.
In Dabie Mountain area of China, there is a "Mao Tan Factory Middle School", a "super middle school" known as "the largest college entrance examination factory in Asia". More than 10,000 people take the college entrance examination every year, and the enrollment rate is as high as 90%. In recent years, on June 5th every year, ten thousand people in the whole town sent troops to test, which gradually became a special "festival" in Maotanchang town.
In fact, there are tens of thousands of families behind a Mao Tan factory middle school, which has promoted the economic development of local towns and villages, and a series of industries such as house leasing, teaching AIDS, catering and even Taobao purchasing have been developed. Some people even said, "If there is no Maotan Factory Middle School, the local township economy will collapse."
The reputation of Maotanchang Town is widely circulated, which originated from Maotanchang Middle School. Located in Maotanchang Town, Jin 'an District, Lu 'an City, Anhui Province, this remote town deep in Dabie Mountain is surrounded by ravines and mountains. Mao Tan Factory Middle School was founded in 1939 with a long history. But before it became famous, it was just a little-known ordinary township high school in Lu 'an. 200165438+February successfully created a provincial-level "model high school", which made Maotan Factory Middle School famous.
The enrollment rate is the biggest competitiveness of Mao Tan factory middle school. The number of undergraduate students who have reached the college entrance examination has exceeded 10,000 for many years. This year, 52.06% of undergraduates have reached the entrance examination, and 90% have reached the entrance examination. Most of the students in Maotanchang Middle School come from rural areas, and the "mythical" enrollment rate makes many rural families flock to it.
It's like harvesting crops, one after another.
The local people call Maotan Factory Middle School "Maozhong", covering an area of 1.500 mu. Every inch of land and air in Maotanchang Town seems to have been "impregnated" by the college entrance examination.
In the past ten years, this middle school has brought earth-shaking changes here.
0 1, "Some rents here are more expensive than Beijing and Shanghai!"
For many foreigners, the most comfortable people in the town are the locals whose homes are close to the Mao Tan factory high school. "Some rents here are more expensive than Beijing and Shanghai!" Among the businessmen in the town, those who make clothes envy those who do catering, those who set up stalls far from the school gate, those who are near and have a facade, and those who have a facade envy the landlord for worrying about the rent. In the end, the town perfectly connects with first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou with another logic: no matter how big the business is, it is better to own a piece of land in the inner ring. The "inner ring" of the town refers to a middle school in Mao Tan factory, one kilometer away from Fiona Fang.
This year's statistics show that in 20 17 years, there were 55 senior three classes in Maotan factory middle school, with more than 0/00 students in each class. At the same time, there are 67 repeat classes, including 53 science classes and 4 liberal arts classes with about 150 students in each class. Nearly 20,000 candidates took the exam this year.
Today, the social structure of Maotanchang Town in Lu 'an City, Anhui Province is closer to the developed coastal areas: there are about 50,000 people living in 3.5 square kilometers, of which only 1 10,000 people are local residents, and 1 10,000 people are foreigners who come from all directions to do business. Like other 10,000 accompanying parents, they have formed a unique "College Entrance Examination Town" around this middle school called "Asia's largest college entrance examination factory".
In the town, advertisements for renting student rooms can be seen everywhere in Maotanchang Town. Every single room in the north gate rental house of middle school is even named after a university. The cheapest year for renting out a house is about 4,000 to 5,000 yuan, and the most expensive is over 20,000 yuan. The value of the shops on Xuefu Road in front of Maozhong Gate has also risen from 80,000 yuan to more than 400,000 yuan, and the rent has also been speculated to 20,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan a year. "If it is in other towns, it will cost 4,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan a year." In the local area, a local resident can earn 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year by renting a house. Regarding the prosperity of Maotanchang Town, there is a rumor that the annual rental income of people in the town can exceed 6,543,800 yuan.
Well-off families will choose better accommodation conditions-such as staying in full-time baby-care hotels all the year round and providing relatively high-end services. Students receive one-stop service here. The cost of full-time care is naturally high: the annual rent is as high as 35 thousand yuan, and the advantage is that there is no need for parents to accompany you.
There is more than one full-time hotel like this in town, and almost all of them are doing well.
In 2002, because of the prosperity of middle school township economy.
The town of Maotanchang has also changed its fate.
Although the number of repeat students in Maozhong is increasing every year, it still cannot meet the influx of students. They spend 30,000 to 50,000 yuan on tuition, plus room and board, and the total annual expenditure is often close to 6,543,800 yuan. There are four or five thousand accompanying families in Maotanchang town, and this huge income has become the main economic pillar of the local area.
More and more students, parents and businessmen came here, which contributed to the prosperity of Mao Tan factory. Since 2009, the annual income of local residents can easily reach 200,000 yuan by renting a house. In addition, the catering industry, transportation network and high school education industry are all expanding their business maps. Maotanchang Town has become one of the top 20 comprehensive economic development strengths in the city.
In Mao Tan factory, local people earn rent and foreigners do business.
It is reported that there are more than 10 garment processing factories and more small workshops in Maotan factory town. Most of the sewing women pedaling are parents who accompany them in the town. They are changing the local labor market.
"If it weren't for development in Maozhong, we would be a poor mountain town." Zhang Yousheng, director of the trade union of Maotanchang Town Government, said in an interview with Interface News that more than ten years ago, the leading industry here was agriculture, but now, the education industry has become a pillar industry.
"A town school. What happens at school is what happens in town. The government and every resident in the town, everything revolves around the school. " Han Zeng, the mayor of the original factory, said:
"Without Maotanchang Middle School, the local township economy will collapse", and many locals agree with similar views.
03. Business characteristics brought by Mao.
Because of the large student base, the catering industry has become the most prosperous industry in Maotanchang Town except renting houses. Someone laughed and said, "anything in wool can be sold as long as it is cooked."
Because the capacity of the school canteen is not enough, eating outside the school is acquiesced by the school. Lunch time is only 40 minutes, and students should go back to school for self-study before noon 12: 20. In addition to parents delivering meals to the school gate, mobile takeout has become the most popular food.
Prices are as shocking as house prices. Local people say that pork can sometimes be sold to 20 yuan for a catty, and everything is very expensive in Mao Tan factory. The price of vegetables in Maotanchang town is higher than that in other places, so if you go late, you may not be able to eat it.
There are also some business models in the town that outsiders would not think of, such as Taobao purchasing shop. According to the school schedule, the day of senior three students starts at 6:20 in the morning and ends at 22: 50 in the evening. Internet access and public mobile phones are not allowed in schools. There are thousands of students who have no time to go shopping. The only contact most people have with the outside world is the Taobao purchasing point at the school gate.
In this small town, nearly 10 Taobao shops are scattered around the school. There are more computers in the communication operator shop near the school. Students only need to choose the right things, pay 5 yuan's "purchasing fee", and the rest, from online payment to collection and express delivery, the boss provides one-stop service.
There is a charging standard posted on the wall of a Taobao shop, below 100 yuan, and the purchasing fee is 3 yuan; 100-200 yuan, the purchasing fee is 5 yuan, 200 yuan or above, and the purchasing fee is 10 yuan. "At the craziest time, I earned 30,000 a day." The local shopkeeper said this.
Download from the Internet, charge mp3 and other ordinary daily necessities can make money. Charging mp3 once is 1 yuan. There is no plug in the student dormitory, but charging the plug in the classroom is like challenging the law of this "high-voltage factory". In contrast, boutiques may be the bleakest shops. Girls always need to stroll slowly when choosing accessories. Time is a luxury for middle school students and they can't stay in the store for too long.
04. The dream cost of entering a "prestigious school" is getting higher and higher.
The most important link in the economic industrial chain of college entrance examination is the school that provides teachers, facilities and various conditions. Maotan Factory, known as "the largest college entrance examination workshop in Asia", "super middle school" and one of the first batch of municipal-level "demonstration high schools" in Lu 'an, has attracted students from other places outside Anhui to dream.
According to the charging standards for recruiting tutors (first semester) recently issued by Maotan Factory Middle School and Jinan Senior High School, the cost of this dream is quite remarkable, and it is charged according to the difference between the students' college entrance examination results this year and an enrollment score line. The minimum charge is 2800 yuan and the maximum charge is 48000 yuan.
I have to say that Mao Tan Factory Middle School has incorporated the concepts of self-interest and cost when screening students. In fact, this school welcomes two kinds of middle school students: first, high-scoring repeat students, because they can help the school improve the enrollment rate and indirectly contribute to the school's reputation; Second, students who are willing to pay high tuition fees can bring direct and visible material returns to the school. Part of the tuition fee is converted into teachers' salaries, thus attracting more excellent teachers. Many people earn more than 65,438+10,000 a year. The teachers in this middle school are definitely well-paid positions in the local area.
For poor children with average grades, it is really a dream that the school clearly marks the price for enrollment. But it also reflects the current situation of education in China-the resources of high-quality educational institutions are scarce and expensive.
In fact, in the 40 years since the resumption of the college entrance examination, with the opening of branches in various places by famous "super middle schools" such as Maotanchang Middle School and Hengshui Middle School, there are still a number of "repeat schools" and "repeat centers" advertising various enrollment before the results of the college entrance examination come out.
There are many repeat schools that charge nearly 200,000 yuan. These educational institutions shouted the slogan of "the college entrance examination changes fate" and encouraged parents to seize the "lifeline" of the "college entrance examination economy", which gained a lot.
In China, the college entrance examination is an important channel for some families, especially ordinary families, to change their children's fate. Parents stubbornly send their children to school, so private schools and training institutions with high fees have their own space.
Tomorrow is another year of college entrance examination day. With a batch of students graduating from the college entrance examination, the coming summer vacation may temporarily calm the place of Maotanchang Town, but soon a group of new repeat students and their accompanying parents will arrive, and of course a group of new businessmen will flood in.

Sometimes going to school to find a good job is not just to earn more money. Some of my high school classmates have earned about 10 thousand yuan a month, but they are too tired to talk about it, so they can't talk together at ordinary times. All kinds of vulgar language are unbearable. I just want to tell you that you should have a good city and a good university and stay in the postgraduate entrance examination party.
I think what he means is: you have talked so much about these famous universities, and then talk about students from junior colleges and other schools. It seems that there is no way out. This is not good. I think that's what it means.
It's not good to look at you more, and your chances of being admitted will be more. It is better than seeing your school and not looking at you at all. It is true to try your best to refuel.
I'm in senior three at Mau University. Expensive is true, bitter is true, and it is true to be admitted. There is nothing to be afraid of. There is no denying that some teachers' educational methods are unacceptable, stressful and indeed severe, but it is needless to say terrible and deformed. Some people are black schools and black students. I don't think it's wrong to work hard and get paid. Seeing several news, people were hacked everywhere. They won't go if they don't want to. Don't need black, hum, don't black us.
As a student taking the college entrance examination this year, I hate to divide people into one prestigious school, two public schools, three private schools and four third-rate higher vocational schools.
Those who don't go to college are social scum and brick movers. If you get into a good school, it's just that the interviewer values you more.
Anyway, the college entrance examination is the fairest. How many things in this society can be fairer than college entrance examination scores? After all, this is the door for many families and many children to realize their ideals. There are examples, but after all, it is a minority, isn't it?
People spray them every year. What I want to say is that children in your city can enjoy more resources to enrich themselves in the city, while most people in our countryside can only change their fate by studying hard. There is no way. The gap between reality and ideal is too big! Come on, Mao Middle School, and make great achievements this year!
As a junior who has studied in Maozhong for three years, I am very angry every time I see comments about attacking Mao Tan factory. Many of my feelings for my alma mater are misinformed and not true at all. No matter what others say, I still thank Mautan Factory and every teacher who has taught me. Put on wool, put on wool!
The economic structure is single, the economic model is abnormal, the industrial development is unbalanced, and the leading industries have no independent system. If I were a leader, I would take advantage of these years to step up urban economic construction.
Perhaps the students in these key high schools are unlikely to become Malik Yun, but the probability of producing people like Deng Jiaxian and Qian Xuesen is great. Go and see the young people in the space command center.
Those people must be from the key universities in Top Students. They are unknown. They don't know how to make money from chicken soup without Ma Yun. Can you say that these top students are unsuccessful just because they are not rich as Ma Yun?
I'm afraid the sour ones are scum. Don't say anything about deformities and perverts. Even if you learn this model, you won't get that score, and your IQ and personality are different.
Some people who say that they learn by rote and treat top students as nerds should wake up. It's 2 1 century. To put it bluntly, innovation also needs knowledge reserves. You don't even have a knowledge reserve. You said you were innovative. That's nonsense.
How dare you go to sour top students?
I am very grateful to Mao Zhong. I didn't get into three books originally, but I got into one one year after I repeated my studies. Some people say that the rate of one book is very low, I admit it, but you must know that the students who received Mao Zhong have very, very poor foundations. When I went to repeat my studies, I was a little short of three books, but I was among the best in my class. You can think about the number of students.
