Does Knowledge Change Fate?
1． “知识改变命运”曾是无数寒门子弟奋斗的动力所在，可如今现实却是，不仅知识难以改变命运，穷孩子能接触到知识的机会也在减少。
2． 你对此有什么看法，且应采取什么措施阻止这种现象？
Large number of children from poor families once held the belief "Knowledge can change fate" and thought that hardworking could reward them-- As one sows, so will one reap. But now the true fact is that not only knowledge can't change fate, but also the chances for poor ones to gain knowledge have decreased.
This phenomenon brings more harm than good to society. First, it makes the rich-poor divide ever widening, and sense of injustice ever deepening. Second, it may let many real potential genius go away. Third, it runs against the repeated call for building a people-oriented, harmonious society.
Therefore it needs to take urgent measures. On the part of government, it should increase its investments on education and urge all universities and colleges to make preferential policies for enrolling poor students. As to colleges and universities, they should establish completed systems for scholarship and fellowship in order to assist poor students.
