我叫刘雪竹,一个78年出生的宁夏女孩。记得在上海读大学时,常去陆家咀玩,这里有许多很时尚的建筑,集中了大批外企。尤其高档写字楼里那些打扮精致的小姐,昂着头,穿着高跟鞋,白领感十足地从我面前经过时,看得我眼睛都直了。更重要的是,她们神情间流露出的骄傲与自信,带给自己很大触动,当时我真想立刻成为她们中的一员。大学毕业后,总算在浦东一家中法合资公司找了份工作,月薪3000元。有一段时间我心满意足地做着一个小白领,那时自己的梦想就是加薪,在大上海找个男朋友。直到那天在加拿大经商的表哥来看我,他直率地说:“你就满足于这样的生活吗?你现在年龄还小,应该出国去学些新东西!”一语惊醒梦中人,我这才发现自己实在是起点太低了,如果只是在这条道上往前走,走到底都只是一个普通白领。于是,我决定从这条路上退出来,接着便四处联系,报考了巴黎商学院。1999年办完各种手续,我到了法国巴黎,当时学校还没开学。我找到自己住的地方,是一所老式公寓,木地板,长长的走廊,整幢楼几乎没有人。走在过道里,只听到自己的脚步声和回音,好像是恐怖电影中的场景,我突然就吓哭了。然而还是没有出现一个人,我哭累了,肚子也饿得咕咕叫,这才明白今后一切都得靠自己。巴黎消费水平高,物价高得惊人,周末我得打工为自己挣学费。第一份工作是在一家广东人开的啤酒馆里当服 My name is Liu Xuezhu, a girl born in Ningxia in 78 years. I remember when I was in Shanghai, I often went to Lujiazui to play. There were many very fashionable buildings here that concentrated a large number of foreign enterprises. In particular, those high-end office buildings that dressed delicate lady, head high, wearing high heels, white-collar workers full of passing in front of me, I see my eyes straight. More importantly, the pride and self-confidence they showed in their eyes gave me a great touch. At that time, I really wanted to be one of them immediately. After graduating from college, finally found a job in a joint venture between Pudong and France, a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan. For a period of time I was doing a small white-collar workers, then my dream is to raise wages, find a boyfriend in Shanghai. Until that day my cousin doing business in Canada came to see me, he said bluntly: “You are satisfied with this life? You are now young, should go abroad to learn something new!” , I found myself really starting point is too low, if only on this road to go forward, in the end are just an ordinary white-collar workers. So, I decided to withdraw from this road, then went to contact around, apply for Paris Business School. After finishing all kinds of formalities in 1999, I went to Paris, France, where the school was not yet open for school. I find where I live, is an old apartment, wooden floors, long corridors, the whole building, almost no one. Walking in the aisle, only to hear their own footsteps and echoes, it seems like horror movie scene, I suddenly scared to cry. However, there is still no one, I cried tired, my stomach is also growling, I realized that in the future everything depends on myself. Paris, a high level of consumption, prices were staggering, weekend I have to work for their own earned tuition. The first job was serving in a Cantonese beer hall
