上世纪80年代，无论对于城市还是农村，高考录取分数线犹如一道分水岭，将大学生和落榜者进行了分层。那时的大学生被称为"天之骄子"，一毕业就端上"铁饭碗"，成为"国家干部"；而高考落榜生承受着巨大心理落差，用各种方式迎接命运的挑战。他们中的一些人不轻言放弃，抓住机会，珍惜机会，在不同的岗位、领域收获了成功，实现着自身的价值。

In the 1980 s,No matter for the city or the country,The university entrance exam to admit fractional line is like a watershed,Will students who failed and the stratification.At that time of college students is called"An unusually lucky person",A graduation on end"Iron rice bowl",become"National cadre";And the university entrance exam LaBangSheng under great psychological gap,In various ways to meet the challenges of the fate.Some of them don't give up,Seize the opportunity,Cherish the opportunity to,In a different position/The successful harvest field,To realize their own value.

能吃苦，真好用 Can bear hardships,True to use

　　43岁的贺俊是西部中心城市附近一个县城公安局的一名中层干部，1987年的高考落榜生。这么多年过去了，当年高考落榜的阴影在他的心中尚存。"那个时候考大学真是难，我们班60个人只考上了11个。"落榜后，他参加了公安局的招警考试。通过考试后贺俊被顺利录取，穿上了令人羡慕的警服，当了一名刑警。在工作中，他踏踏实实跟着老刑警学习侦破技巧，很快就适应了警察生活，并多次获奖。一次他只身前往贵阳抓获犯罪嫌疑人,连夜独自开车9小时将其押解回来。凭着兢兢业业的工作态度和刻苦练就的过硬素质，20多年来，贺俊一步一个脚印，做过中队长，派出所所长，后来他从老家的山区小县调到省会附近县公安局担任大队长。

The 43-year-old HeJun is the center city county public security bureau a nearby a middle-level cadres,1987 years of the university entrance exam LaBangSheng.So many years have passed,In the shadow of the university entrance exam in his heart still save."At that time the entrance examination of university was really hard,Our class 60 individuals will only take an examination of the 11."After failed,He took part in the public security bureau of ZhaoJing examination.Through the test HeJun after be smoothly admission,Put on an enviable police uniforms,When a cops.In the work,He steadfastly follow old cops learning solve skills,The police soon got used to the life,And won many prizes.Once he go alone guiyang captured the criminal suspect,All through the night alone nine hours to drive the escort back.With cautious and conscientious working attitude and hard practice excellent quality,For more than twenty years,HeJun one step at a time,Done foreman,Police inspector,Later he from their hometown in the mountains near smaller counties transferred to the provincial capital county public security bureau as a leader.

　　贺俊的经历是上世纪80年代众多城镇高考落榜者通过参加"招干"考试进入行政机关的一个缩影。他们中的不少人在工作中干得风生水起。在那个文凭热的时代里，这批高考落榜生更珍惜来之不易的工作机会，相较一些"天之骄子"的大学毕业生，由于没有大学文凭的"资本"，他们显得更加脚踏实地，而不好高鹜远，也更具服从性，所以在基层颇受领导的亲睐，也受到同事们的欢迎。原四川省平昌县委组织部长赵建仁这样评价公务员队伍中的80年代高考落榜生:"他们有一股不服输的顽强拼搏精神，很能吃苦，非常珍惜工作岗位，热爱自己的本职工作。"

HeJun experience is the 1980 s many town by taking part in the university entrance exam"ZhaoGan"Test into a miniature of the administrative organ.A great number of them people in work dry to flawed.The diploma in the heat of the era,This batch of the university entrance exam LaBangSheng more cherish the hard-won opportunity to work,Compared with some"An unusually lucky person"College graduates,Because of without a college degree"capital",They appear more down-to-earth,And not seek high far,Also more submissiveness,So in the basic unit the leadership of a popular pro-gaze,Also welcome by his colleagues.The original sichuan PingChangXian committee organization minister ZhaoJianRen such civil service evaluation of the 80 s the university entrance exam LaBangSheng:"They had a indomitable struggle spirit,Very hard,Very cherish jobs,Love own labor of duty."

　　那时进入国有企业工作是城镇高考落榜者的另一条出路。相对今天而言，那时国企竞争压力不大、收入比行政机关高的优势吸引着人数众多的城市高考落榜生。进入国企有两种途径，一是考试进入，二是"顶班"。但不管哪种方式，在工作中是否有所作为，关键还要看自身的努力程度。不少高考落榜生很珍惜进入国企工作的机会，他们勤学苦练,踏实肯干，虚心向老工人求教,很快就成了技术骨干。后来，国企迎来改制潮，有的变成了民营企业，这些落榜生因为有一身过硬的技术，而作为人才被企业留下继续工作，有的还成为业内的技术专家。

Then enter the state-owned enterprise work is the town of the university entrance exam to other a way out.Relative in today,When state-owned enterprises competition pressure is not big/Income than administrative organ high advantages attracted numerous city LaBangSheng college entrance examination.There are two ways in state-owned enterprises,One is the exam into,The second is"Work full time".But no matter which kinds of means,In the work whether make a difference,The key still need to see their degree of efforts.A lot of the university entrance exam LaBangSheng cherish the opportunity to work in state-owned enterprises,They study hard bitterness practice,industrious,With an open mind to the old worker for advice,Soon became technical backbone.later,In state-owned enterprises restructuring of tide,Some into a private enterprise,These LaBangSheng because there is a good technology,And as people are enterprise leave continue to work,Some still be the technical experts.

　　"那时的高考落榜生中不少人的素质并不差，只是因为高考录取比率太低或者因其它种种原因导致他们无法进入大学学习。当时社会的整体文化水平不高，他们进入社会，凭借相对较高的文化水平，找份工作并不难，只要踏实努力，不断学习，也会做出的一番成绩的。"一名在80年代带过好几届高中毕业班的老师说。

"Then LaBangSheng college entrance examination in many people's quality is not poor,Just because the university entrance exam admission ratio is too low or for other reasons cause they cannot enter university study.The social overall cultural level is not high,They entered into society,With relatively high cultural level,It is not difficult to find a job,As long as steadfast efforts,Keep learning,Also can make a result."A in the 80 s with the several high school graduating class's teacher said.

常学习，不懈怠 Often learning,Don't slack

　　当兵退伍转业安置是上世纪80年代许多城镇高考落榜生普遍采用的"曲线就业"方式，不过即便这样，成功也只属于那些不断提升自己的人。

Veteran soldier gathers placement is the 1980 s many towns the university entrance exam LaBangSheng widely adopted"Curve employment"way,But even this,Success only belongs to those who constantly improve their own people.

　　今年47岁的孙宁是西部某大城市的一名处长，1982年高考落榜的他当兵后退伍安置到机关工作。和很多高考落榜就业的人一样，他就读成人高校，拿到了本科文凭，兢兢业业地工作，从科员一路升到处长。目前孙宁正在就读热门的公共管理硕士。

47 years old this year, the sun is a big city west a director,In 1982 the university entrance exam to him after a soldier veterans resettlement work to authority.And a lot of university entrance exam to the employment,He attend adult college,Got the bachelor degree,Cautious and conscientious work,Clerk from all the way up to director.At present sun is studying popular public master of management.

　　在上世纪80年代，社会上流行"文凭不是万能的，没有文凭是万万不能"的说法。文凭始终是高考落榜生心中的"痛"。已经参加工作的高考落榜生们通过电大、夜大、函授、成人高考、自考等方式，拿到了大学文凭，以此圆了自己的大学梦。

In the 1980 s,Social popular"Diploma is not everything,We can do nothing without a diploma"that.Diploma is always LaBangSheng college entrance examination of the heart"pain".Have been the work of the university entrance exam LaBangSheng through radio and television university/Evening college/correspondence/Adult the university entrance exam/From tests the means such as,Got a college degree,This round his university dream.

　　贺俊进入公安局的第二年，通过成人高考考上了警察学院刑侦大专。当时他的局长因为人手紧张，一开始不给他"开绿灯"。贺俊于是和局长软磨硬泡，很坚定地说"你不放我去读书，我自费都要去"，最后终于成行。拿到大专文凭后，贺俊又参加了高教自考的本科考试，拿到了本科文凭。前几年他还通过了堪称最难的国考——国家司法考试，拿到了律师资格证。"经过系统的理论学习，结合实践经验，我感到对自己提升很大。"贺俊深有感触地说，"尤其在侦查工作中，我经常遇到法律问题，如果不是继续充电学习，光靠自己摸索，就很容易走弯路。"如今，他打算等30年工龄到了，就提前退休做律师，在另一个领域做法律工作。

HeJun into the second year of the public security bureau,Through the adult the university entrance exam admitted to the police college criminal investigation college.He was the director of because people nervous,Initially didn't give him"Give the green light".HeJun so and chief pester and keep on,Very said firmly"You don't put me to read,I shall go at one's own expenses",Finally it.Get the diploma,HeJun and took part in the higher education from tests the undergraduate course exam,Got the bachelor degree.Before a few years he has passed the exam is the kingdom of the hardest, the national judicial examination,Get a lawyer certificate."Through the study of the theory of the system,Combined with practical experience,I feel great in her own ascension."HeJun said emotionally,"Especially in the investigation work,I often meet with legal problems,If not continue to charge learning,Light depend on oneself fumble,It is easy to detours."now,He is going to 30 years in length,Early retirement will be a lawyer,In another field do legal work.

　　在上世纪80年代，相比城市，农村落榜生的就业渠道很窄，多数回乡务农。但即便是这样，也有人不甘平庸，抓住机遇，勤奋学习，不断提升自己，获得了成功。

In the 1980 s,Compared with the urban,Rural LaBangSheng employment channels is very narrow,Most home soil.But even if is such,Also some people unwilling mediocrity,Seize the opportunity,Diligent study,Continuously improve their,succeeded.

　　许振出生于川东农村，1987年高考失利，第2年他努力争，成为了乡政府的"七站八所"人员。许振很珍惜这个难得的机会，他的踏实勤奋得到了上级的信任，后来他做过党政办文书，乡团委书记。1995年他成功选任副乡长。第二年，许振拿到了函授大专文凭。"继续学习不是可有可无，既增长了知识，又拓宽了视野。"许振说。接下来他拿到了省委党校的行政管理函授本科文凭。2000年，许振通过了公务员考试，进入到公务员序列。如今，他任正科级乡党委副书记。

In XuZhen was born in rural,In 1987 the university entrance exam defeat,The second year he tried to struggle,Became of the township government"Seven station 8"personnel.XuZhen cherish this rare opportunity,His steadfast diligence got higher trust,Then he made DangZhengBan documents,Township, secretary of the communist youth league.In 1995, he successfully empanel vice the steward.The second year,XuZhen got the correspondence college diploma."Continue to learn is not an option,Not only the knowledge growth,And broadened our horizons."XuZhen said.Then he got the provincial party committee party school administrative correspondence undergraduate course diploma.In 2000,,XuZhen through the civil service examination,Into the civil service sequence.now,He was ZhengKeJi deputy secretary of the township party committee.

　　从农民奋斗到正科级公务员，许振用了23年时间。"不断充实自己，不放弃追求，人生道路会越走越宽。"许振为自己的这段经历做了个总结。在仕途上比许振走得更远的那个时代的农村落榜生不乏其人，他们通过在实践中积累经验，又不断在书本上吸取知识的营养，在不断的自我提升中拓宽自己的人生道路。

From peasant struggle to ZhengKeJi civil servants,XuZhenYong for 23 years."Constantly enrich himself,Don't give up the pursuit of,The road of life will be more walk more wide."XuZhen for his own this experience made a summary.In official career XuZhen go farther than the age of the rural LaBangSheng thering is no lack of the person,In practice, they through the accumulation of experience,And then continuously in the books absorb knowledge of nutrition,In the continuous self ascension broaden the own life path.

有冲劲，敢闯荡 A dash,Dare to make

　　"当时搞废品收购那是高考落榜后没办法的事，后来干建筑考证是为了另谋一条生路，到最后自己做工程那是自然而然的事了，是为了更好的发展。"日前，川北某县城的1987级高考落榜生张世屏轻描淡写地回顾过去。

"At that time make waste acquisition that is the college entrance examination can't things,Then dry construction textual research is in order to make a choice,To finally do engineering that is natural things,In order to better development."a,Chuanbei a county level 1987 college entrance examination LaBangSheng ZhangShiBing airily looking back at the past.

　　张世屏高中毕业后就干起了当时很不起眼、一般人不屑的废品收购，几年走街串户后就积累了一定资金。为了找到一条更好的出路，他到一个建筑老板手下干活，并且考取了监理师证。后来房地产火了，有了多年行业经验的他看准商机，自己拉队伍承包工程，把业务从川北发展到了成都。"2000年时，他买了轿车，而且在成都温江买房子定居了。"张世屏的一个同学对他很佩服。

ZhangShiBing after graduating from high school, will do his was very small/The average person suffers waste acquisition,After a few years ZouJieChuanHu accumulated certain fund.In order to find a better way,He went to a building boss worked,And are eligible for the engineering consultant certificate.Then the fire of real estate,Have many years of industry experience he certain business opportunities,Pull himself contracted project team,From the business chuanbei development to chengdu."In 2000,He bought the car,And buy a house in chengdu WenJiang settled."A classmate of ZhangShiBing to he admired.

　　在上世纪80年代，一大批像张世屏这样的城镇高考落榜青年走上了自谋职业之路。而在本来出路就很窄的农村，更多的农村落榜青年外出打工，然后走上了自主创业之路。

In the 1980 s,A large number of like ZhangShiBing such town university entrance exam to youth on the road to seek a profession oneself.And in the proper way is very narrow rural,More rural youth in a failed,Then on the road to start their own businesses.

　　出生于江苏宜兴农村的蒋锡培高考名落孙山后，父母希望他复读，继续考大学。但那时遍及神州的经商热吸引着从小性格刚强好胜的蒋锡培。他跟随二哥去杭州学修钟表。当时他最大目标是赚够5万元，然后回家造两间房子，剩余的放在银行里面存定期，吃利息。然而，当他用了不到一年时间就赚到了5万元钱时，他的自信和创业的"野心"一下子被激发了出来。1986年，蒋锡培，创办了一家为大钟表厂生产零配件的仪器仪表厂。但一年后，企业因管理不善亏损100多万元，蒋锡培的第一次创业遭遇重大失败。但他没有退缩，而是四处寻找商机。当他获知电线电缆市场需求量巨大且销售价格日益增长时，就决定转向，向朋友借了10万元在宜兴开设了一家电线电缆经销部。在业内摸爬滚打3年后，他从卖电缆转到做电缆。到2008年时，39岁的江苏远东集团总裁蒋锡培身家已达25亿元。

　　云南大学人格教育资深学者周婷认为，高考落榜是人生一次体验的失败，而不是整个人生的失败。把它看作是苦难对自己考验的提前到来，正确面对和认识，它就会让人过早地体验并成熟起来。上世纪80年代，正值改革开放的初期，一部分落榜生承受过高考落榜的的人生失败经历，因而心理上更显坚强。家境贫寒、没有多少社会关系、无力复读、没有回头路可走的残酷现实，使得他们在创业的过程中，能吃常人不能吃的苦，善于抓住商机，在压力中不断激发自身的潜力；而且他们没有大学生失去"铁饭碗"的顾忌，没有条条框框的束缚，更具冒险精神，成了时代的弄潮儿。（应被采访者要求，文中部分人名系化名）
