Only take 15 yuan and a pack of 32 students to challenge extreme survival in Shenyang.

　　Sleeping in the parking lot, working as a waiter and dishwasher in a restaurant, handing out leaflets on the street, and working as a tutor in an educational institution … … July 16th — On the 31st, 32 students from the eighth phase of the "Yingying Project" of Shanxi Normal University set off from Linfen and went to Shenyang, Liaoning Province, where they launched a seemingly impossible extreme survival challenge — — In half a month’s time, each of them can only carry 15 yuan cash, a bag with clothes, blankets and a small amount of food, and rely on their own wisdom to solve all the problems such as food, shelter and transportation, so as to challenge the rules of urban survival and experience life.

　　"Can you live in a city for 15 days with only 15 yuan money?" "We can not only survive, but also find jobs and earn round-trip tolls!" On July 30th, at the end of this activity, li chuang, a student of the Drama School of Shanxi Normal University and the leader of Group 3 of the "Yong Ying Project", answered the questions of Shanxi Evening News reporter with great confidence.

　　Survival is not easy. Only 19 people found jobs on the first day.

　　At 14: 46 on July 16, the train slowly arrived at Shenyang North Station, and 32 students from the eighth phase of the "Yingying Project" of Shanxi Normal University got off in an orderly manner. "As soon as I got off the train, Shenyang responded to us with sultry weather. In the face of this strange city, in fact, each of us is a little embarrassed, and at the same time we are full of expectations for this trip. " Student Liu Yuxin said.

　　"The 32 students who participated in the activity, a total of 10 men and 22 women, were all first-year students from 13 colleges affiliated to Shanxi Normal University. They are divided into four groups, each with 8 people, led by an instructor. Each group has an experienced senior as the team leader, responsible for safety and overall arrangement, and assisting teachers in their work. " Li chuang introduced that after the students get off the bus, we will take away their extra cash and bank cards, and the balance of WeChat and Alipay will be emptied, and only 15 yuan and a bag weighing about 20 kg will be handed over to them. There are only clothes, blankets and other items in the bag, as well as a small amount of instant noodles, eggs, compressed biscuits and other foods that can last for one to two days. In the next half month, each student needs to rely on his own hands and teamwork to solve his own accommodation problems, and at the same time, he has to earn enough money for Linfen to travel to and from Shenyang.

　　"We are college students, do we need short-term jobs?" The students went door-to-door to ask questions in shops along the street with the scorching sun overhead and heavy bags on their shoulders.

　　"Out of the train station, I don’t know where to go. Wandering around the streets for fear of missing a small shop and a recruitment opportunity. I really hope that a boss can take us in, even if it is a volunteer, but the frequent cold eyes make us collapse! " Li Huiting, a group of four students, said that after a while, their clothes were tightly adhered to their skin by sweat, and hunger, thirst and helplessness also invaded them at any time. Although they were always rejected again and again, the students gritted their teeth and moved on.

　　"I asked a lot of places, but I didn’t recruit short-term workers. I really felt a little collapsed in my heart! You’re not really sleeping on the street, are you? Confusion and fear always surround us. Later, I finally met a kind-hearted proprietress. After understanding the situation, I decided to let Li Huiting and I stay in the store and let the chef make us a bowl of udon noodles. At that moment, I felt very moved and very happy! " Four groups of students recalled Nan Nan.

　　As night fell, among the 32 students, 19 found jobs. "Better than expected, many bosses are willing to provide accommodation. Students who found jobs took in a few who had not found them. On that day, 28 people temporarily had a place to live, and several boys made a living in the corner of a parking lot. " Li chuang said.

　　Unite and cooperate in a loving city

　　"Because we have an elimination mechanism, those who can’t find a job within three days will be sent back to school. Not earning enough tolls within half a month is also considered unqualified. " Li chuang said that on July 19th, all the trainees found jobs, mostly in the catering industry. Some of them work as waiters in the front hall, some do dishes and do odd jobs in the back kitchen, and some students work as tutors in educational institutions. There is really no better job, so they hand out leaflets on the street. Salary levels are also uneven, from daily 40 yuan — 100 yuan.

　　Students’ jobs are not stable, and unemployment often happens. Many people "eat the last meal without the next meal", and they are well dressed when they go to work, but they have nowhere to stay after work.

　　"Although we experienced many setbacks in the whole process, we still felt the enthusiasm of the local people and the warmth of a foreign land." Xu Xiangge, a student, said that after the general job search was declined, the bosses would enthusiastically give the students a lot of advice and help. Some will give the students a "come on" encouragement, and some will recommend a valuable part-time job information. There are also many citizens who will send a bottle of water and a pack of biscuits, and some will directly "plug money" to the students, or are willing to provide accommodation. "Their love is like a pool of water in a dry desert, which moistens us and makes tears spin in my eyes. I really appreciate these kind people. " Student Zhang Yaowen said.

　　"I have to bend over to wash the dishes for several hours, and dirty dishes and chopsticks are constantly dumped into the pool. The water in it is also changed over and over again. The moment I straightened up again, my waist was so sleepy that I bit my teeth tightly. Most of us are after 00, and we are at home at ordinary times ‘ Young Master Princess ’ I have never done such a job before, and this time I am really exercising! " Feng Lei, a student who works as a dishwasher in a restaurant, said.

　　Whether working as a charcoal burner in a barbecue shop or as a cashier in a store, the students are undergoing various tests in different jobs and experiencing the difficulty of survival. Students who want to be gorgeous finally found a job in a steamed bun shop, and something went wrong on their first day at work. Because I am not familiar with local dialects and habits, I have to pack a takeaway without chopsticks, which leads customers to give the store a "bad review". "I feel like a failure in an instant, which is a disgrace to the school, but a sentence from Senior Cheng Zhenkun ‘ It’s okay, do it well ’ , immediately gave me a sense of encouragement, feeling very warm. In practical work, I feel that I am growing step by step, learning a lot, and slowly changing many of my bad habits. " Students should evaluate their work in this way.

　　"The students not only unite and cooperate together, but their every move always touches us." Guo Junping, the instructor, said that several boys voluntarily gave up their accommodation to girls, preferring to sleep on the street or live in a fast food restaurant. "We boys can sleep in the street and go hungry. We must never let girls go through this. So I gave my job to two girls. In the days after unemployment, we still live relatively well ‘ Chic ’ Yes, walking in the streets of Shenyang with my bag on my back, eating a ham sausage with three or five brothers … …” Du Jinpeng, a male student, joked, adding some fun to everyone’s hard work life.

　　"Suddenly it began to rain heavily, and I didn’t have any precautions. I didn’t know where to take the floor at night … … If mom knows, she will be sad, so keep it to yourself. Come on, I’m coming tomorrow! " Student Chen Xudong wrote in his diary.

　　The "Yong Ying Plan" allows students to get in touch with society at "zero distance"

　　The "Yong Ying Plan" is a characteristic project of the "second classroom reform" of college students in the talent training mode reform of Shanxi Normal University, in which the survival training during the selection period is a brand project of the school’s summer social practice activities of "going to the countryside".

　　Guo Junping introduced that through the development of survival training, the purpose of the school is to let students experience social life "at zero distance", hone their will in difficulties, stimulate their potential, cultivate their spirit of hard work and teamwork, and exercise their ability to live independently.

　　Since the plan was launched in 2012, survival training has gone through seven years, and it has been carried out in Guangzhou, Chongqing, Tianjin, Fuzhou, Beijing, Lanzhou, Shijiazhuang and other places. This year, it arrived in Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning Province. On July 13th, the "Huying Plan" competed for 28 quality development projects in a week. From interview, written test, psychological test, team promotion to summer extension, from the initial 700 people to 32 people, the competition is very fierce. Finally, the trainees earned a total of 8944.5 yuan during the three-day simulation training in Linfen, which was used to pay the train tickets to Shenyang.

　　"I never thought before that I would haggle over every ounce for one or two dollars when I spent money. Through survival training, I learned to cherish every grain and cherish every penny. " Student Xu Xiangge said with emotion.

　　While trying to survive in the city, the students gradually understood the hardships of their parents and the hard-won happiness. "I want to spend more time with my parents after I go home. It is really not easy to earn money. It is because of their contribution that I can grow up happily and carefree." Student Chen Yanjun said. (Shanxi Evening News reporter Liu Jiang)
