Recently, Zhang Xuefeng, who resumed live broadcasting after being banned from the entire network for nearly a month, changed his tune again.Zhang Xuefeng changed the topic and praised the liberal arts: "The world is vast and there is a lot to do."And his understatement may have changed the lives of many people.
Previously, Chen Qin, deputy director, director and education expert of the Digital China Research Institute of the National Information Center, conducted a"Zhang Xuefeng Effect"research.
The results show that the admission rankings of majors that account for one-fifth to one-quarter of the total enrollment in 2023 were changed by Zhang Xuefeng.
Chen Qin also introduced the concept of "Zhang Xuefeng Density", which is the proportion of live broadcast viewers to the total population.
In areas with a high "Zhang Xuefeng density", one out of every five candidates has changed his major choice because of Zhang Xuefeng.
In areas with the highest "Zhang Xuefeng density", the admission percentiles for finance and journalism majors in 2023 have dropped by an average of 4%.
In other words, nearly 2 million candidates were directly or indirectly changed by Zhang Xuefeng.
The following is a case of a student who changed his mind after hearing Zhang Xuefeng's words. After seeing Zhang Xuefeng's replay, he said: "I can't laugh."
Five years ago, Liu, a student from Gansu, chose the civil engineering major because of the influence of a video of Zhang Xuefeng that lasted only 3 minutes and 41 seconds.
At that time, Zhang Xuefeng highly praised the civil engineering major: "The employment prospects can be said to be very good."
But starting from his second year of enrollment, Zhang Xuefeng's attitude towards the civil engineering major changed drastically. From then on, when it came to civil engineering, Zhang Xuefeng was filled with only ridicule and disdain.
He even said to the parents in the live broadcast room:"There are 985 students majoring in civil engineering, and I can get into it as soon as I can. But if my child really learns civil engineering, will he blame me for the rest of his life?"
In his junior year, Zhang Xuefeng shouted three times to the live broadcast room, "Are there any horses and cows working on the construction site?" and then asked, "Who will get one and two books on the construction site?"
As everyone can imagine, the civil engineering industry collapsed rapidly during the four years he was in college. More than 50 colleges and universities canceled civil engineering undergraduate majors. After he could not find a job, he had no choice but to change his major and take the postgraduate entrance examination.
In addition, the above-mentioned expert Chen Qin also pointed out that the employment situation is often affected by Zhang Xuefeng.
Nowadays, the computer major that Zhang Xuefeng highly recommends has seen its share of job advertisements in the job market decline in the past seven years. At the same time, computer enrollment in 2023 has reached 10.78% of all enrollments. After these students graduate in the future, there is likely to be an oversupply.
On the contrary, the market demand gap for the journalism and communication majors that Zhang Xuefeng denounced is expanding, showing a trend of supply exceeding demand.
