对于那些从“独木桥”上跌落的人，高考的失败并不意味着人生的失败。时代给了他们重新奋起的机遇，也让其对待命运更加珍惜。

For those from"bridge"Who fell,The university entrance exam failure does not mean that the failure of the life.Time gives them the opportunity to rise,Also let their fate to cherish.

　　“大学毕业不久吧？”徐元武微笑地打量着记者，“你们一路顺利升学，我是真羡慕啊！”

"University graduation soon it?"Xu yuan wu smile looked at me with reporters,"You have a smooth bound,I am the true envy ah!"

　　1984年的高考，对于勉强能将26个英文字母写全的徐元武来说，“千军万马过独木桥”的滋味真切而又残酷。

1984 years of college entrance examination,For can barely will 26 English letters to write full of xu yuan wu speaking,"An army a wooden bridge"The taste of the true and cruel.

　　当年，要想取得高考资格，先须经过预考。徐元武所在的文科班应届生有40来名，最终通过预考的只有他和另外两人。可即便如此，最终的结果却也是全军覆没——“英语蒙得40几分，数学50分，”徐元武距大专录取线有20分。

the,If you want to get the university entrance exam qualification,Must first after preliminary examination.Xu yuan in martial arts class fresh had 40,Finally through the preexamination only he and two other people.But even so,The end result is completely annihilated --"English to deserve some 40,Mathematical 50 points,"Xu yuan wu distance college admission line 20 points.

　　“很失落，也迷惘，不知道自己该怎么办。三亲四戚的是多么盼着徐家出一个大学生啊！我索性在外面游荡了好几天，想要避开他们的目光。”徐元武提起往事，苦涩瞬间涌上心头。

"Very frustrated,Also lost,Don't know what I should do.Three close four qi is how of xujiaweizi looking forward to a college students' ah!I'd just hang around outside for several days,Want to avoid their eyes."Xu yuan wu filed past,Bitter moment into my mind.

　　时代给了他另一条路

Age gave him another road

　　“我想复读考大学，这样才能改变身份。”徐元武同当时很多农村落榜生一样，一门心思“鲤鱼跳龙门”，他回到家中，首先决定的便是重头再考。

"I'd like to answer read examination of university,In order to change the status."Xu yuan wu with a time when many rural LaBangSheng as,One-track mind"Succeed in the",He returned home,The first decision is the former cave-outer exam.

　　读书要花钱，那时的徐家日子过得紧巴。母亲过世得早，除大哥自立门户外，徐元武和两个弟弟都只靠着父亲务农和帮人下力气过活。

Reading to spend money,At that time JinBa xujiaweizi day.The mother died early,In addition to the eldest brother housekeep outside,Xu yuan wu and two younger brother all only against the father farming and gang efforts to get by.

　　一直以来，徐元武都是凭着自己挣钱读书。“每个假期，我都在渠江边上给人家打杂，搬建材，一两个月挣个百来块，全年的学费才算是有了着落。”

Has been,Xu yuan wu is with your own money to read."Every holiday,I have been canal river to the somebody else char,Move building materials,A couple of months make certain to block,Annual tuition fees are some empty."

　　徐元武开始琢磨起复读生活，眼瞅着又得去打工挣学费了。当年8月5日，村支书找上门来，说村里推荐他去参加考试。“村干部只跟我说是考经济方面的，却连考试科目、性质都讲不清楚。”

Xu yuan wu on the idea of the answer read life,Eyes stared at and have to work to earn the tuition fee.The August 5,CunZhiShu seek to come,Said the village recommended him to take an exam."Village cadres only told me that take an examination of economics,But even the exam course/Nature all speak not clear."

　　原来，1983年，国务院下令一级政府建一级财政，第二年，华云工农区（现华蓥市）首次面向社会招聘财政干部。

The original,In 1983,,The state council has ordered to build the government at the level of finance,The second year,HuaYun area of workers and peasants(Now HuaYingShi)The society for the first time for financial cadre.

　　徐元武起初还以为是会计辅导员招录，不感兴趣，没特别上心，“根本没有复习就直接进了考场。”

Xu yuan wu at first thought is accounting counselor ZhaoLu,Not interested in,No special means of,"No review directly into the examination room."

　　对于刚经历大考折磨的人来说，这些题实在小菜一碟，徐元武很轻松就拿下了第一名。“考后的日子一切如常，只是镇里财政所开始让我帮忙填写经济普查表。”

For just a big exam experience tortured people,These questions is a piece of cake,Xu yuan wu easily won the first prize."After the test day business as usual,Just town finance began to let me help fill in economic PuZhaBiao."

　　8月19日，财政局通知徐元武立刻去报到，他这才回过神来，原来市里要从参考的40人中遴选19名到财政系统工作。“我此前对财政局一概不知，连方向都找不到，单位地址都是打听找到的。”

On August 19,Finance bureau notice xu yuan wu immediately to report to duty,He just came to my mind,The original city from the reference to 40 people to select 19 to the financial system work."I don't know all the bureau of finance,Even the direction can't find,Unit address are about to find."

　　因为成绩排名靠前，徐元武和另一个考生被留在了局里。“当时想法很简单，有了工资就不愁温饱，自己可以一边上班，一边复习，准备来年的高考。”

Because the results ahead,Xu yuan wu and another examinee was left in the station."At that time is a simple idea,The salary won't worry about food and clothing,You can go to work side,Side review,Ready to next year's college entrance examination."

　　一日午休，徐元武重温教材，领导站在身后，他却浑然不知。

A lunch break,,Xu yuan wu renew teaching materials,Leaders stand behind you,He was unaware.

　　“还要准备考试啊？”

"Prepare to exam?"

　　徐元武一惊，连忙合上书本，“嗯。”

Xu yuan wu a surprised,Hurriedly close the books,"well."

　　“都当干部了还考什么？用不着了。”

"All when cadres still take an examination of???????needless."

　　此时的徐元武，虽在机关上班，但却是合同制，户口也还在农村，一切似乎都没改变，更没意识到自己已成了国家干部，仍然希望通过考试让自己读大学、吃“皇粮”。

The xu yuan wu,Although the authorities to work,But contract,Registered permanent residence is in the countryside,Everything seems to be no change,More didn't realize that he had become the national cadre,Still hope to pass the exam to college/eat"Imperial cereals".

　　1985年，国家招考税务干部，徐元武又偷偷看起了书，领导再次开导他说：“我们局虽然是招聘干部，合同三年一签，但你放心，你和大家待遇都一样。而且只要考核的时候不出大问题，这个岗位就是稳当的。”

In 1985,Countries admit by examination of taxation cadres,Xu yuan wu and secretly look up the book,Again he said channel leadership:"Although we bureau cadre of invite applications for a job is,Once every three years the contract signing,But you can rest assured,You and everyone is the same treatment.And as long as the assessment when a big problem,The position is secure."

　　这一次，徐元武总算是安了心，他不再坚持一定要走高考独木桥了。不过，他没有就此把书本撂下。

This time,Xu yuan wu is finally to the heart,He no longer insist on must walk the university entrance exam the bridge.but,He has no books on the plank.

　　“我俩是高中同学，但是谈恋爱还是在工作以后。”徐元武的爱人杨丽萍告诉记者，“那阵子，他就喜欢抱着书看，每次约他，包里都有几本书装着。”

"We is a senior high school classmate,But fall in love or in the work later."Xu yuan wu lover YangLiPing told reporters,"NaZhenZi,He would like to embrace books to read,Every time about his,Bag has a few books pack."

　　1986年，徐元武考上了函授的财务专业，在这里，他系统地学了财会知识，“我把函授当大学本科来念，那时真的叫做挑灯夜读，不敢有丝毫怠慢。”

In 1986,,Xu yuan wu admitted to the correspondence financial professional,here,He learn the knowledge system of accounting,"I put the correspondence when university degree to read,At that time really is called reading all night,Can't there is the slightest neglect."

　　此后，他又在四川省委二党校进修了两年的在职本科，还到中央党校研究生院学习了3年在职的经济管理……

Since then,He in the sichuan provincial party committee two party school education for two years in the undergraduate course,Also to the central party school graduate school for three years in office economic management……

　　徐元武说，虽然高考没有进去，但自己始终在寻找一切机会，圆“大学梦”。

Xu yuan WuShui,Although the university entrance exam did not go in,But his always look at all the opportunities,round"University dream".

　　机遇与困难都会珍惜

Opportunities and difficulties will cherish

　　在财政局的办公室里待了6年，徐元武当年的同事这样评价他：收发、文秘、打字……所有看似不起眼的工作都被他做到了极致。

In the bureau of finance office for six years,Xu yuan wu the colleagues such evaluation he:transceiver/secretarial/typing……All seemingly ordinary work he did acme.

　　“那时候的人一般看不起打字员，但同事们却都待我很好。”徐元武坦言自己格外勤奋，“我总是把份内的事情完成后，就帮着各个科室写公文、打字，连会计学会、珠算学会的杂事我都帮着去干，确实辛苦，但从中收获很多。”

"At that time, people usually look down on typist,But all colleagues but to me is very good."Xu yuan wu concede especially hard,"I always put part of the things after completion,For each department official document writing/typing,Even accounting association/Abacus society errands I can help to do,Really hard,But to get to a lot of."

　　由于语文功底不错，领导安排他试着写单位工作总结和年初计划，慢慢地，徐元武开始挑起了大梁。到后来，连财政局每年的预决算报告都由他操刀。

Due to the language foundation of basic skills is good,Leadership arrangement he try to write unit work summary and plan early,slowly,Xu yuan wu began to make the girder.To later,Even the bureau of finance budget report every year of his requests.

　　徐元武一门心思把头扎到充实的工作中，这样的时光简单而反复。他沉浸于这样的状态，也满足于这样的状态，干好本职工作，这是他唯一的想法。

Xu yuan wu one-track mind her head into substantial work,This time simple and repeated.He immersed in such a state of being,Also meet in such a state of being,Do a good job,This is his only thought.

　　1990年，上级决定把25岁的徐元武派驻阳和乡任财政所长。对这突如其来的提拔，徐元武显然毫无准备，“那时候我正在办公室整理资料，听到通知，简直一头雾水。”

In 1990,,Superior decided to take 25 xu yuan in Yang and wu township for finance director.For this sudden promoted,Xu yuan wu obviously unprepared,"At that time I was office sorting data,Hear notice,I was all at sea."

　　虽然有了官衔，但开头的日子却并不顺利。那时的阳和乡仍然是纯粹的农业社会，在那里，徐元武真切体会到基层工作的艰辛。

Even though there is a rank,But the beginning day is not smooth.When Yang and township is still pure agricultural society,there,Xu yuan wu really feel grass-roots work hard.

　　“虽说我是农民娃，但自打校门出来就在机关工作，对农村工作完全不熟。”徐元武花了很大力气去摸情况，乡里领导关系复杂，各有各的打算，这让他遇到了麻烦。“但凡有好处的时候，头儿们都来争相过问；一旦遇到棘手的事，不管找谁都是推诿卸责。”

"Although I am a farmer Eva,But since the school gate out in organ,To work in the countryside is not ripe."Xu yuan WuHua great strength to touch situation,There is the complex relationship leadership,Each have each plan,This let him in trouble."In good time,All the boss to scramble to ask;Once encountered a can of worms,No matter who find is shuffle shirking."

　　徐元武对此不理解也不适应，情绪长时间陷入低谷，甚至好几次都怀疑未来无望。他来到渠江边，想起当年为求学而艰辛打工的场面，脑海中又闪过高考弄人，以及后来的意外招考……“要知足，要珍惜，我总这样对自己说。”

Xu yuan wu don't understand also does not adapt,Emotional long time bottomed,Even several times all doubt future hopelessness.He came to the river channel,Remember the time for study and hard work of the scene,Mind and flash across the university entrance exam lane person,And later accident admit by examination……"happy,Want to cherish,I'm always so say to yourself."

　　尽管碰到了不如意，但徐元武仍一如既往勤奋着，走村入户搞数据调查，逐一筛查账目情况，把财政所的工作打理得井井有条。

Although met not equal to idea,But xu yuan wu still, as always, with diligence,Go get a village survey data,By screening accounts situation,The work of the finance of do in perfect order.

　　机会再次向他抛出了橄榄枝。

Once again to chance he has offers from.

　　一年后，徐元武被推荐到华蓥市委党校学习，参加首届中青干部培训班，并于8月入了党。1992年，全省大规模进行撤乡建镇，阳和镇也换了领导班子，徐的工作阻碍大大减少。到后来，“上头没人”的徐元武相继被选为该镇的副镇长、常务副镇长、镇长。

A year later,Xu yuan wu is recommended to HuaYingShi committee party school learning,For the first middle cadre training class,And in 8 income the party.In 1992,,The mass to build the town from township,Yang and town also changed leadership,Xu work hinder greatly reduced.To later,"Above no one"The xu yuan wu successive was elected vice mayor of the town/Executive vice mayor/mayor.

　　“他年轻又肯干，总是下到田间地头，凡是重要事项都亲自抓。”徐元武当年的光景至今都还为基层的老同事们提起，“他主管农田水利，省里的现场会跑来我们这儿开；主管民政工作，省上也总把我们排在头两名。”

"He is young and willing to do,Always down to the fields,All the important things personally stresses."Xu yuan wu was that have so far are the basic unit of the old colleague mention,"He competent irrigation and water conservancy,The province will open running here;Competent civil affairs work,The province also always put us in the first row two."

　　2001年底，广安市公选县级干部，因为有财政的工作经验，几个朋友建议徐报考市财政局副局长一职。徐元武挡不住朋友们的再三劝说，抱着试一试的心态参加了，却出人意料地击败了多名颇具实力的竞争对手，被选中了。

By the end of 2001,The public cadres at or above the county level,Because there are financial work experience,A few friends suggested xu enter oneself for an examination bureau as a deputy director.Xu yuan wu stop friends to again and again,Holds the point of view which tries attended,But unexpectedly defeated many name very powerful competitors,Was chosen.

　　“头三个月，大家都觉得他是乡坝来的，还有些另眼相看。后来他跟同事一起座谈，对很多专业问题都讲得头头是道，大家自然也就无话可说。”说到徐元武，财政局的干部们都印象深刻。

"First three months,Everybody thought that he is the township of dam,Also some eyebrows.Then he and colleagues discussion,For many professional articulate about problems,All nature also have nothing to say."Said xu yuan wu,Finance bureau cadres are impressive.

　　徐元武分管的是财政局对农工作。他要求对所有项目进行精细化管理；每季度召开一次工作会，让每个职工梳理思路；还定期把局里的工作情况向省厅主动汇报。很快，广安的财政支农工作便在全省排到了第一。

Xu yuan wu is in charge of bureau of agriculture work.He asked for all projects of fine management;Is held once every quarter work,Let every worker carding ideas;Is the station work regularly to ShengTing active report.soon,The cross and fiscal support in the province to the first row.

　　徐元武说，自己对过往的很多节点日期都记得清清楚楚：“每走一步，都是人生的一次重要转折，我都倍加珍惜。”

Xu yuan WuShui,In the past a lot of node date recollection:"Every step,Life is an important turning point,I have treasured."

　　在财政局里度过了7年，后来，组织上又相继安排徐元武到市移民办和水利局（现水务局）主持工作。好友善意提醒他，说那是“烫手山芋，不好干”，但徐元武想：“我就是个高考落榜生，要不是运气好点，现在可能还在种地，怕啥子？”

In the financial bureau spent seven years,later,Organizational and successive arrangement xu yuan wu to the city YiMinBan and water conservancy bureau(Now municipal bureau of)Presided over the work.Good friends bona fide remind him,Said it was"Hot potato,Bad dry",But xu yuan wu want to:"I am a college entrance examination LaBangSheng,If it weren't for good luck point,Now may still sow the land,Afraid of what?"

　　“正是这样知足沉稳的心态，让小徐少走了许多弯路。”一位退休的老领导这样评价他。

"It is content composed state of mind,Let little xu little take many tortuous paths the."A retired old leadership so the evaluation he.

　　做一个干实事的公务员

Do a dry fact civil servants

　　2009年隆冬，徐元武到水务局赴任。这是个崭新的领域，他重新拾起了当年的高考劲头，钻研工作。徐元武指着办公室的沙发，“那段时间天天熬夜，困了就在这儿蜷起身子和衣而眠。”

In 2009 the dead of winter,Xu yuan wu to municipal bureau of go to one's post.This is a new field,He pick up the year college entrance examination strength,Study work.Xu yuan wu pointed to the office sofa,"Time stay up late every day,Sleepy in the body up here dress but sleep."

　　“我记得第二天起，他就把生活用品搬了过去，好几个晚上没回家。”杨丽萍说，“后来再见他，人都瘦了一圈。”

"I remember the second day,He put the articles for daily use moved past,Several didn't come home at night."YangLiPing said,"Then see his,People lost a circle."

　　水务局干部初次见到徐元武，都很好奇：“没见过这样干局长的，总是8点刚过就到了办公室，有时候市里有会，他也要先到局里看一眼，又抽身在中午之前赶回来。”

Municipal bureau of cadre met xu yuan wu,Are very curious:"Haven't seen so dry the bureau chief's,Always just after 8 o 'clock came to office,Sometimes the city will have,He also you must go to the station at a glance,And out of the back before noon."

　　徐元武没有告诉别人，其实他肩上的担子很沉。在四川，象征农田水利工作最高成就的奖项是“李冰杯”，广安曾有过荣耀，但近年来，该奖却屡屡旁落。“重新夺回‘李冰杯’，市里给我下达了这样的指令。”

Xu yuan wu did not tell others,In fact he burden is heavy.In sichuan,Symbol of irrigation and water conservancy work of the highest achievement award is"Bing cup",Cross had glory,But in recent years,But the repeatedly to slip."recapture‘Bing cup’,Give me the city issued such instruction."

　　“要搅活工作，关键是撬动人。”于是，徐元武在水务局宣布：每个职工都要落实责任，打破“大锅饭”，实施奖惩挂钩，并要效仿财政局的做法，施行季度总结制。

"To stir live work,The key is move people."so,Xu yuan wu in municipal bureau announced:Each worker should implement the responsibility,break"mess",Implement rewards and punishment hook,And to follow the example of the practice of bureau of finance,Summarize and quarter system.

　　记者采访徐元武的当天，正是在国庆放假中。而水务局的大楼却灯火通明，他和所有干部一道加班，为第三季度总结会的召开做着最后准备。

Reporters on the day of xu yuan wu,It is in the National Day holiday.And the water authority building but lights were blazing,He and all cadres a work overtime,For the third quarter of the meeting held to do the final preparation.

　　水务局办公室主任王建明说：“人还是过去那帮人，但获得的成绩却大不一样了！”徐元武接手的第一年，“李冰杯”就夺得了农业综合管理第二名、水利先进集体的第三名；第二年，分别得了第一和第二名；就在去年，两项第一……

Municipal bureau of office director wang speaking plainly:"People still past the gang,But achieved but is not the same!"Xu yuan wu took over in the first year,"Bing cup"Will win the comprehensive agricultural management second/Water conservancy advanced collective third;The second year,Won the first and second respectively;In last year,The first two……

　　记者了解到，在广安，像徐元武一样的当年高考落榜生通过发奋干出成绩的并不鲜见。他最大的体会是顺其自然：“有些东西争是争不来的，反而会让自己越来越乱。落榜生白手起家，或许更能随遇而安。”

The reporter understands,In the cross,Like xu yuan wu same year college entrance examination LaBangSheng through the hard dry out performance is not rare.His greatest experience is let nature take its course:"Some things are not for against the,It will let oneself more and more disorderly.LaBangSheng starting from scratch,Perhaps more can make the best of it."

　　徐元武望着窗外，思索了一阵：“那个时代，教育不如今天发达，但社会给人的机会却反而更多。比起现在的孩子，我们应该更加幸运。”

Xu yuan wu looking out of the window,Thinking a:"The time,Education today is better than the developed,But social give to more instead.Compared with children now,We should be more lucky."

　　徐元武突然把目光转向记者，稍带严肃地说：“我们单位这两年也招了好些大学生，我都一对一挨个谈话。我怕他们整天挂记的都是些名啊利啊，所以我对他们要求得特别严格。”

Xu yuan wu suddenly turned to look reporter,With a little said soberly:"Our unit that two years is also called the number of college students,I have one on one round conversation.I'm afraid all they need is some name the ah,So I told them asking too special strictly."

　　徐元武也十分感激自己的幸福之家：“爱人支持，女儿争气，家庭和睦。”空闲的时候，一家三口喜欢踏青郊游，他还常与妻子聊起那段共同的考试时光。“要是当年我考上了大学，国家包分配，可能反而会自满自足吧。”徐元武庆幸20多年前的那场机缘分野，“没考上，自己更懂得珍惜和努力，更能够一直保持干事创业、有所作为的激情。”

Xu yuan wu is also very grateful to own the well-being of the family:"Lover support,Daughter try to make a good showing,Family harmony."Free time,A family of three like spring outing for an outing,He also often and wife talked about that common exam time."If when I admitted to the university,National bag distribution,May be it will be self-content it."Xu yuan wu rejoice over twenty years ago the dividing line between chance,"Did not take an examination of,More know how to cherish and hard work,More able to keep the clerk starts an undertaking/Is a passion."
