城市孩子上不了大学，对城市孩子影响不是那么大。但是农村孩子上不了大学，其实他就变成一辈子农民了。我觉得一个农民的孩子如果说能上上正规的大学的话，对他来说，扩大他的视野也好；扩大他对这个世界的理解以及人脉关系也好；以及他的自我认知也好，一定是有大大的好处。我相信进了大学整体来说命运总会变得更好。因为人们的想法是被观念改变的。那能够改变观念的人最好的地方就是大学。那他只要考上大学，哪怕是三本，是吧？那他大学四年给他的磨练；带来的眼光、感觉、格局肯定就不一样的。那个时候他再回到农村,他可能就变成农村的创业者，或者是变成农村中间最有想法的人。我觉得想法是改变世界的基础。

translation:
Being able to go to university or not has little effect on students from cities. But for students from rural areas, if they don't go to college, they will be lifelong farmers.
I think it would be good for a peasant's child to expand his horizons, understanding of the world， connections, and self-perception if he went to a proper university.
I think going to college will change your destiny. Because people's thoughts are changed by perspective. College is the best place to build a new perspective. As long as you can get into a university, even if it is just a third-class university. Four years of college life will change his new ideas and views. Then he goes back to the countryside, and he may start his own business, or he may become the most thoughtful person there. I think ideas are fundamental to changing the world.

CHISTES MEXICANOS

PEPITO QUIERE SER COMUNISTA.

En un estado pintoresco del corazón de México, donde la historia se entrelaza con la pasión por la cocina, nació una de las joyas culinarias más emblemáticas del país: los chiles en nogada. Este exquisito platillo ha cautivado paladares durante siglos y es una verdadera obra maestra de la gastronomía poblana.
Su origen se remonta a los días tumultuosos de la independencia mexicana en el siglo XIX, cuando el país luchaba por su libertad. La historia cuenta que estos chiles rellenos fueron creados por primera vez en 1821, un año trascendental para la nación mexicana.

La leyenda cuenta que las monjas agustinas del Convento de Santa Mónica cocinaron los chiles en nogada en honor al Ejército Trigarante y al líder insurgente Agustín de Iturbide, quien había regresado a Puebla triunfante en ese año. La ocasión coincidió con la festividad de Santa Mónica, lo que hizo que el plato fuera aún más especial. Desde entonces, este platillo ha estado asociado a la celebración de independencia del país.
Otra versión señala que la receta de los chiles bañados en salsa de nuez existía desde 1714. La noche en la que fueron preparados en honor a Iturbide, quien se convirtió en emperador, únicamente surgió la decoración con los colores patrios que se conserva hasta ahora.
Los chiles en nogada consisten en chiles poblanos rellenos de picadillo, una mezcla de carne de res y cerdo, sazonada con pasas, almendras, frutas como pera y manzana, especias y condimentos. Pero lo que les otorga su carácter distintivo es la nogada, una salsa cremosa a base de nuez de Castilla, que aporta un toque de exquisitez a la mezcla de sabores.

Por último, se espolvorean con granos de granada, creando un contraste de sabores y texturas que deleitan los sentidos, y unas ramitas de cilantro. Actualmente existe un debate sobre si los chiles van capeados o no.
