This year the national civil service exam raised the upper age limit to 38. A lot of people say it’s like a new door has opened.陈花: I saw it, and it really moved me. People used to say “35 is a hurdle,” but with this policy change, it doesn’t feel so absolute anymore.黄刚: Yeah. I’ve heard colleagues discussing it too. Some people who’ve worked in companies for over ten years have rich experience and are actually quite suited for grassroots work.陈花: But it must not be easy for them, right? They have to work, take care of family, and still squeeze in time to study—the pressure must be huge.黄刚: What’s hard isn’t just doing questions, but making choices. Whether to take the exam or not is really about rethinking your life direction.陈花: I think relaxing the age limit at least shows one thing: society is starting to value ability more, not just age.黄刚: Right. As long as the rules are fairer, effort has meaning. Even if you don’t necessarily make it, the process itself is worth it.陈花: Well said. Life isn’t only one road—having one more option is progress in itself.
