Example of the effect

Question: My child scored 560 points on this year’s college entrance exam, from Henan. They want to study finance. What do you think?

Employed Employment Backward Estimation Method (Focusing on the Median Destination), Family Background Differentiation (First Inquiring About Family Resources), Social Siege Theory (The Competitive Reality of Non-Double-Negative Financial vs. 985 Universities)

Question: I have a bachelor’s degree in non-double non-Beijing universities, and I want to get into a 985 university. Is it worth it? Or should I just start working?

Applies choice> effort (postgraduate entrance exams are a means, not the end), median principle (looking at the common destination of those who graduate from undergraduates), and class realism (the reality that the first degree is a bottleneck).

Question: The AI era has arrived. Are the majors you recommended before still reliable?

Applies irreplaceability test (Who in the AI era is irreplaceable), Employment Reverse Method (distinguishes different levels of AI impact), and 10-year future pressure test (long-term perspective on professional value)

Question: If your family has no money, should you pursue your ideals by studying art?

Uses class realism (family conditions determine strategy), choice> effort (survival before pursuit), and personal experiences as evidence (water supply and drainage→ education blogger’s cross-disciplinary life).

Complete dialogue records are stored in the examples/ directory.

This isn’t ChatGPT putting on Zhang Xuefeng’s mask. Every response uses Zhang Xuefeng’s specific mental model—‘social sieve theory,’ ‘employment reversal method,’ ‘class realism,’ and ‘irreplaceability test.’ It doesn’t repeat quotes; it analyzes your questions using Zhang Xuefeng’s cognitive framework.
