the word "kaogong" is like a symbol of the times. it represents the dream pursued by countless people and also represents the society's thirst for talents. every move he makes is watched by the eyes of society. he comes from stanford university and holds a ph.d., which is undoubtedly the envy and longing of many people. but he finally chose to return to his hometown and became a "little soldier" of grassroots cadres.

his choice is both a free choice and a responsibility choice. he is eager to use his knowledge and abilities in ordinary places to contribute to local development. he hopes to use his professional knowledge to change the current situation in his hometown and bring opportunities and hope to more people.

behind this lies society’s expectations and expectations for talents. we are all eager to see highly educated talents play a greater role in society and promote economic development and social progress. however, this expectation also brings certain contradictions. some people believe that highly educated talents should choose "high-paying" positions to create greater value for society, rather than being constrained by the pressure of "prestigious schools" and "public examinations."

his choice also raised more questions about social equity, career development and talent flow. society needs more professional talents, but what is even more important is to allow these people to freely choose their own paths and leverage their own strengths.
