Art exams are no longer easy!
The proportion of cultural courses has increased and the full coverage of the provincial unified examination has been gradually implemented
Recently, the 2022 general college admissions art major unified examination in our province ended. As a major province of art examination, the number of art candidates in Shandong Province has increased comprehensively, the number of candidates for the provincial art unified examination has reached 57891, and the number of applicants in Qingdao is 6582, ranking second in the province; the number of applicants for the calligraphy class of the provincial unified examination is 6295, an increase of 1,000 over last year, and the number of candidates in Qingdao ranks third in the province; the number of candidates for the literary editing and directing class of the provincial unified examination is 11353, which is almost double that of 2021, and the number of applicants in Qingdao ranks first in the province. During this time, many colleges and universities have also successively released the 2022 art major enrollment brochure, and the reporter noted that many art majors have improved the performance of cultural courses and even reduced the enrollment plan. Under the reform of the art examination, where will the art test takers in Qingdao go? The reporter visited the art test takers and related teachers.
In December last year, the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, one of the "Nine Academies of Fine Arts", announced the cancellation of the 2022 school examination, the Nanjing Academy of arts announced the cancellation of the art school examination nationwide, more and more college enrollment guidelines were released, and the scope of the school examination was greatly reduced, so that art students really felt the change. In previous years, January to April was the "catch-up examination season" for art candidates across the country, but since the end of the Shandong Provincial Unified Examination at the end of last year, most art examinees no longer practiced their majors, but like ordinary cultural students, they reviewed cultural classes. In 2021, the Ministry of Education issued guidance to further deepen the enrollment reform of art major examinations in colleges and universities, and the art examination ushered in major changes. What do Qingdao's art test takers think about this? How should I prepare for the next school exam and culture class? Education experts give advice.
Give up the school exam to concentrate on reviewing the culture class
"After the provincial examination, only half of the students in our studio were left, because some of the students were not ready to take the subsequent school examinations, and they all went to sprint for the culture class." A senior teacher surnamed Zhang of an art training institution in Qingdao told reporters, "This is because in the new policy of the Ministry of Education's art examination, the proportion of cultural classes is getting heavier and heavier, some art unified examination results are not too bad, and candidates with not very good cultural courses choose to concentrate on reviewing cultural classes, because the opportunity for such a ranking to apply for colleges that recognize the results of the unified examination has been very large, leaving enough time to review cultural classes, it is a wise choice." ”
The study arrangement of Xiao Fan, a senior art candidate, is very typical: from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., English and political classes take turns, and in the evening, it is time to brush up questions, "focus on two courses in 1 month, and then concentrate on preparing for the rest of the subjects in the next few months." Xiao Fan is very much in favor of the new policy of the art examination, and he believes that strengthening the provincial unified examination can reduce the burden of candidates' economy, energy and other aspects, and is conducive to improving the literacy of cultural classes, so as not to lose sight of one or the other.
Participating in the unified examination is no longer "art" road running
Chen Tao, a music teacher at Qingdao 19th Middle School, who has also walked the road of art examination, has witnessed the reform process of art examinees from only participating in the school examination, to paying equal attention to the provincial unified examination and the school examination, and then to the provincial unified examination. "Nowadays, the proportion of schools that recognize the results of the art examination has risen sharply, and the importance of the examination has surpassed that of the school examination. This change began at the end of 2018 when the Ministry of Education issued the "Basic Requirements for Partial Special Types of Enrollment in Ordinary Colleges and Universities in 2019". Before 2019, the art examination season for art students was usually spent like this: starting from the summer vacation of the second year of high school, entering various art training schools, passing 5 months of intensive training, and participating in the provincial art unified examination in December; in the next two or three months, candidates took the school examination with the idea of one more opportunity to take the school examination and rushed between art schools across the country. Nowadays, art test takers don't have to run like this.
Chen Tao introduced that in recent years, the new policy of art examination has been gradually implemented, and by 2021, there are only 48 schools left to open school examinations, which are independently set up undergraduate art colleges (including a small number of colleges and universities with reference to the implementation of some art undergraduate majors), simply put, they are all famous art schools. In September last year, the Ministry of Education once again issued the "Guiding Opinions on Further Strengthening and Improving the Enrollment of Art Major Examinations in Ordinary Colleges and Universities", pointing out: "In 2024, art majors will basically achieve full coverage of the provincial unified examination, and strictly control the scope and scale of school examinations... From 2024 onwards, there will no longer be a cross-provincial school examination center..." According to incomplete statistics, at present, in the five professional categories of art undergraduates, the art and design majors have achieved full coverage of the provincial unified examination, and the provincial unified examination for music, dance, drama and film and television majors has covered more than 20 provinces. Affected by the new policy of the art examination and the epidemic, many colleges and universities have adopted methods such as canceling the school examination, using the unified examination primary election, and holding online examinations to adjust the school examination plan this year.
The reform measures cooled down the "art test fever"
One of the important goals of the art examination reform is to guide the society to treat the "art examination fever" rationally. In 2020, the number of applicants for the national art examination reached 1.17 million, a record high in the calendar year, and the number of applicants in 2002 was only 32,000. In 2002, the number of applicants for the national college entrance examination was 5.1 million, and the number of applicants for the art examination accounted for 0.6%, and in 2020, the proportion reached 10.92%. From the perspective of professional enrollment, the number of undergraduate enrollment in art majors in 2020 is second only to engineering and management, ranking third. Similarly, among the industry-specific universities that have reported new news in the past two years, film, art, and music colleges and universities have emerged.
Behind the soaring "art examination fever", there is inevitably a motivation for "taking shortcuts" and "speculating on examinations". "Ensuring fairness and justice in the college entrance examination" is regarded as the core purpose of the art examination reform. Liu Yang, a lecturer at Qingdao University and a doctor of design and art, pointed out that the major adjustment of the enrollment policy of the art professional examination is manifested in improving cultural achievements, reducing the proportion of professional examination scores, reversing the tendency of talent training that emphasizes majors over culture and emphasis on enrollment and light training, and dispels the utilitarian thinking that some parents of students take the art examination as a "springboard" to enter famous schools. Of course, for artistic talents who do have expertise in related professional fields, the art examination reform also proposes to explore the establishment of an out-of-line admission mechanism.
Pay more attention to the cultivation of humanistic literacy
"Cooling down the art exam is not to block the path of art students. The purpose of the art examination reform is more to change the status quo of some students taking shortcuts through the art examination. From this point of view, it is a blessing for candidates who truly like art. As we all know, having a strong cultural literacy can make artistic talents go further. For example, liu Yang said that in 2020, the Communication University of China set the preliminary examination of the art professional examination as a basic test of cultural literacy, and only examined the subjects of literature, history and philosophy, which is a very clear guide: let the candidates pay more attention to the cultivation of humanistic literacy.
In addition, art fever is not the same as art fever. What is the social needs of art candidates, the quality of training, and the employment status of graduates? In Chen Tao's view, after graduating from teacher training, performance, sports and other majors, most of them will choose professional-related jobs, and the employment prospects are more optimistic, but only those who have undergone professional training and have real talents and practical learning can be qualified for the corresponding jobs. The Ministry of Education issued a notice last year emphasizing that the setting of art majors should be strictly controlled, and the art examination reform in September last year further required that in the positioning and layout of colleges and universities, it is necessary to closely combine social needs, comprehensively consider the conditions for running schools, the employment status of graduates, etc., and reduce or stop enrollment for majors with insufficient social demand and low quality of training.

How to choose between school examinations
As of now, what is the situation of the art examination in 2022? Lou Lei, a policy interpretation expert and an expert in further education planning at the Shandong Provincial College Entrance Examination Press Conference, said that from the current examination situation of candidates, there is no obvious phenomenon of large and small years, and the number of candidates is relatively stable. At the same time, the enrollment plans of various colleges and universities have also remained stable, and the admission rate will remain stable this year. However, because the requirements for cultural courses have been raised, and many changes have taken place in the examinations of professional courses, although the number of admissions has not changed, the number of people admitted will definitely change. "A number of majors are very good, but candidates with weaker cultural classes will suffer more." Lou Lei said that the 2022 art unified examination includes 6 categories such as fine arts, literary choreography, calligraphy, dance, music, and broadcast hosting, and the joint examination includes 3 categories, such as film and television drama performance, costume performance, and aviation service art. There are fewer and fewer majors that conduct school examinations alone, and the pressure on candidates is also increasing. The score line of the undergraduate cultural admission control score line of literature choreography, broadcast hosting and photography is the same as that of ordinary candidates; the score line of undergraduate cultural admission control of art, music, calligraphy and aviation service art is 75% of the line of the general category; the score line of the undergraduate cultural admission control line of dance, film and television drama performance and costume performance is 65% of the line of the general category. Although independent art colleges and art colleges with reference to independent settings have the qualification of independent line drawing, they have also raised the requirements for cultural course performance.
Lou Lei suggested that in the face of the centralized organization period of the school examination, for those candidates whose unified examination results are not too bad, and the cultural class results are not very good, it is recommended to directly review the cultural class; if the unified examination results are ranked relatively low, such as the examination room is not good, regardless of whether the cultural class is good or bad, such candidates are necessary to participate in the school examination, because the unified examination results are not good, and the hope of the institutions that apply for the unified examination is very slim; the unified examination results are very good, the cultural class is also good, and such candidates are also more recommended to participate in the school examination. Because such candidates have the opportunity and hope to sprint to well-known professional colleges and universities. (Guanhai News/Qingdao Morning Post reporter Yang Jian)
Professional first will also fall off the list
Art test takers shoulder the dual pressure of professional courses and cultural classes
Education is no small matter, and for students, it is even more important. Faced with the topic of art examinations, many students said, "Art classes and culture classes are all precipitations of time costs. "Not all art exams are shortcuts, and if you want to pass the art exams, cultural and artistic scores are very important." Some parents said, "The dual pressure of professionalism and culture is like an invisible sword hanging over the heads of art students and parents." From elementary school to high school, time is invested, money is invested, because children like to have no choice. ”...... What kind of group are art test takers, why did they choose the art test, and what did they pay for it? Is it a "shortcut" to truly experience and feel the art exam?
Stress and dreams
Closed training for more than 200 days
Qingdao 19th Middle School Xu Jiayi
Since May last year, Xu Jiayi, a senior high school student at Qingdao 19th Middle School, has left the campus and has been training in a professional training institution for more than 8 months. From the beginning when she took a two-hour car ride back home every half a month to a homecoming for more than two months in the past six months, Xu Jiayi felt tired and lonely, but since she chose the path of music because of her love, she had to go on firmly.
Before New Year's Day 2022, Xu Jiayi participated in the Shandong Provincial Arts Unified Examination, and then passed the first round of online preliminary examination organized by the Communication University of China. On January 11, she participated in the second round of online preliminary examinations, and two mobile phones supervised and transmitted her voice and music. After this level, the next three tests are likely to be on-site exams.
Xu Jiayi's art examination subjects are vocal music and guzheng, in the closed training institution, she and more than 20 music art candidates from Weifang, Linyi and other places, 5-6 hours of practice every day, at most eight or nine hours, every 1 and a half hours of rest 8-10 minutes. Returning to the dormitory after studying at 10 o'clock every day, the seventeen- and eighteen-year-old children had a short time to use their mobile phones and then put them away by the teacher before going to bed. "Music is not an easy quick skill, and unless you are very talented students, most of them still need to practice hard. Xu Jiayi said that there are many students like her who sing and play instrumental music from primary school, but there are also some students who are "halfway out of the house", they initially felt that the art test was a "shortcut", and then after learning and a lot of practice, they slowly changed their minds.
"Even if it is a shortcut, you have to work hard and work hard to have a shortcut." Xu Jiayi told reporters that just past the provincial unified examination, she took the music theory knowledge, listening, sight singing, vocal music, instrumental music 5 professional content, she is best at music theory answers, the knowledge is memorized to the melon, and the instrumental music repertoire is the most test level, "The next school examination, each school requirements are different, basically 2-4 songs, in recent years, everyone's overall level continues to improve, so the song is becoming more and more difficult, a piece of music to practice for at least three or four months, from unfamiliar to cooked, from emotion to action, Not every detail can be flawed. Xu Jiayi's dream is the Xi'an Conservatory of Music, one of the eight major conservatories, which may launch the school examination in March. Xu Jiayi has calculated that even if he can pass the school examination, the score of the college entrance examination culture class must reach more than 450 points, and his chances of winning and the choice will be relatively large.
"Schools with relatively high professional requirements will certainly have high cultural classes. After the end of the provincial unified examination, Xu Jiayi was slightly relieved, and put some of this energy on the review of the culture class, and after practicing the piano at night, he went back to the dormitory to read books and memorize questions. Countless nights later, she was surrounded by the loneliness of leaving home, overwhelmed by pressure, but she strengthened her belief again and again, "Pursuing what she really likes and loves requires pay and hard work." ”
Persistence and self-discipline
I didn't dare to eat it openly
Qingdao Sixteenth Middle School Wei Jia
Recently, the students of Island City High School ushered in the final exam, followed by a relaxed winter vacation. However, Wei Jia (pseudonym), a sophomore at Qingdao No. 16 Middle School, is not easy, and the mental pressure of art examinations and cultural classes, as well as the economic pressure of going to Beijing for training, are all big stones pressing on her heart. According to the original plan, after the final exam, she would go to Beijing for two weeks of training accompanied by her mother. Her goal is to major in dance at Beijing Sport University.
It is understood that candidates applying for the art professional school examination, where the provincial unified examination has covered the major, must first participate in the corresponding category of the provincial unified examination and the results are qualified, otherwise the school examination results are invalid; and the provincial unified examination does not cover the major, the candidate can directly apply for the school examination. Wei Jia learned Latin dance from an early age, and was successfully admitted to high school as a special student in the middle school examination, and decided to take the road of art examination from high school. Her target school and major do not need the provincial examination, and can directly apply for the school examination. The best way to get the most out of the school's admissions policy, test requirements, and dance style is to go to the city where the school is located to receive training from a professional institution. To this end, Wei Jia's mother is ready for vacation, and at the beginning of the winter vacation, she will accompany her daughter to the north, "once born and two times mature, first go to see where to rent a house, and the summer vacation of the second year of high school should go again." Wei Jia told reporters.
Wei Jia's dance professional exam includes Latin dance and modernity, and the professional exam is divided into a preliminary examination and a re-examination, each with 50 points. The initial examination of form, proportion, image and basic skills of ballet is examined, and the re-examination requires two difficult dances. "It sounds simple, but if you want to stand out among the many art candidates, you must have great self-discipline, and every meal cannot be eaten openly." Wei Jia laughed and said that she felt that the first and second grades of high school were particularly tired, studying culture classes at school during the day, and then taking time to practice dancing every night after going home after doing homework, often falling asleep at 12 o'clock, "Sometimes I am tired at night and don't want to move, but the teacher said that you must practice every day, even if you only practice for half an hour, you must keep feeling." From high school, Wei Jia would attend classes at the Municipal Children's Palace every Friday night and all day on Saturdays and Sundays, and the winter and summer vacations of the first year of high school were all soaked there. Having practiced the basic skills since she was a child, she has long adapted to this training rhythm, is accustomed to maintaining her weight, and remembers what to eat and how much to eat at each meal. "Practicing dance requires 'three long and one small', before there were many students who wanted to learn, but because of various body proportions such as large head, short legs, etc., there is no chance, since I have such basic conditions and sincerely love, so I must learn well." Wei Jia said.
Although she was just in her second year of high school, Wei Jia was very clear about her future college entrance examination: "If you only rely on cultural classes to study, you may not be able to get into a good university, but with the professional examination, it may change." She witnessed from many seniors and sisters that the original can only take three types of undergraduates, and may be admitted to famous schools with majors, such as Beijing Dance Academy, Shanghai Theater Academy, Sichuan Conservatory of Music, Beiti, Shouti, etc. "To be honest, the choice of art examination must have a lot to do with this aspect." ”

Professional first eventually fell off the list
On January 12, as soon as the preliminary examination questions of the China Academy of Fine Arts this year came out, nearly 50,000 candidates across the country burst into tears. "Last year's exam question was to draw a portrait of a person, but the topic I got my hand this year was a bust, and people who haven't painted don't understand what's different, because there are hands in the bust!" Hui Hui (pseudonym), a senior art candidate at Haishan School, smiled bitterly. In addition, it is an online exam, where candidates look at the photos in the exam questions through the screen of their mobile phones, and the faces of the characters are only the size of fingernails. "It is a fact that it is difficult, but it is not a reason, after all, a famous school like the China Academy of Art, it is certainly not possible to temporarily hold the Buddha's feet." Sun Xinran, an outstanding graduate of Qingdao 68 Middle School and now a sophomore at Shandong University, is an art candidate in 2020 and has achieved a good score of more than 600 points in the college entrance examination. During the closed training period of art, in the face of pressure, she still took the time to study culture classes, one math problem and one physics problem a day, listened to English more, memorized more words... While training in art, she still maintained the mental thinking of the cultural class, and finally achieved satisfactory results.
In recent years, the changes in the art examination are less and less like what people imagined in the past, which is a "shortcut to the college entrance examination". Not long ago, a senior high school student asked online: "I scored more than 300 points in the culture class, I want to learn to edit and direct, broadcast hosting, what university recommendation?" Unexpectedly, this question attracted the verbal criticism of art examinees: "Please look at the representative of the new students of the 2018 class of the acting department: it is the bully of the Renmin University Affiliated High School." "Advise you to be cautious, better schools to 500 points." According to some institutional statistics, 20% of the reasons why art students fail to pass the college entrance examination are because the major is not good, and 80% are because the culture class has not passed.
Jiang Youmei is a dance teacher who has been practicing for ten years, and what impressed her was that one of the children she taught once got the first place in the school examination, but in the end, because the score of the cultural class was too weak, she missed her dream. Although some students got the "pass cards" of two or three professional colleges, they finally "fell empty" because of various reasons such as college entrance examination results and volunteering. "There are also some students who hold a fluke mentality and want to make a quick start before the exam, and they only start to prepare in their second year of high school, and they have to increase the intensity of training in a limited time." Jiang Youmei recalled that there was once a student who "sharpened the gun in the front" because the training time was too small, and the details of the dance combination were not even completed, so he had to rush to the school for the school examination. At that time, because she was worried, she also flew over and told the candidates all the way into the examination room.
"I hope that when every child decides on the art examination, they are well thought out and have a clear plan for their future, whether they want to become a teacher, whether they want to go to the cultural center art troupe as an actor, or continue to study for the phD, or do they play a competition as a professional dancer to win glory for the country? The most important thing is to have a clear goal and then prepare early in a step-by-step and methodical manner. Jiang Youmei believes, "Professional basic skills and cultural classes cannot be less, and none of them can be less." (Guanhai News/Qingdao Morning Post reporter Yang Jian)
Hard work became my label
Notation of headaches, practice of musical instruments to the point of weakness, singing and singing to the point of hoarseness
On December 24 last year, 17-year-old Ma Jingqi finished his last class at the Qingdao Yizhen Music Training Institution, and two days later, he walked into the Shandong Provincial Unified Examination Examination Hall. As one of the countless art candidates, on this road to his dreams, he cried and laughed and lost, and even thought of giving up, but finally persevered, hoping to knock on the door of the ideal with music. On December 24 last year, the reporter followed him to visit his one-day art examination training life and felt the bittersweet and bittersweet of the art examinees.
The song "Homecoming" is associated with music
At 6 a.m., Ma Jingqi turned off the alarm clock, rubbed his eyes, and sat up from the bed. In order to cope with the unified examination and school examination with the best results, during the training period of nearly half a year, he got up early every day to warm up, open his voice, review the knowledge points of the previous stage, and prepare for the new day's course. According to the plan, he was ready to take the art exam with saxophone as the main item and vocal music as a supplement, practicing hard every day, never daring to slacken off.
On the way to class, Ma Jingqi touched the instrument box containing the saxophone and fell into the memory. He began to learn saxophone from the third year of junior high school, when the music played every day after school was "Homecoming" by the famous saxophonist Kenny Key, which always brought him an inexplicable emotion, and the beating notes accompanied by the sunset made him feel the magical power of music. So in the third year of junior high school, he proposed to his family that he wanted to learn saxophone, and his parents were very supportive, and found a suitable teacher for him, and Ma Jingqi embarked on the road of music. Every day when he came home from school to finish his homework, he would practice saxophone for an hour, meticulously practicing each time.
After the middle school entrance examination, Ma Jingqi entered Qingdao Sixteen Middle School to study. Sachs played an important role in his high school life. In various activities organized by the school, Ma Jingqi actively participated, exercised his courage, increased his stage experience, and gained a great sense of value. This made him more enthusiastic about practicing saxophone.
The misunderstanding of his classmates frustrated him
At 9 o'clock, Ma Jingqi arrived at the Yizhen Music Training Institution on time, and under the guidance of the instructor Niu Yizhen, he began a day of study and practice. During a short break, Ma Jingqi passed by other classrooms and heard the teacher exhorting his classmates to "have more snacks and play fewer games", and he couldn't help but think of his rebellious period.
"I don't know when art test takers seem to have become a kind of label, as if only students who do not do well in cultural classes and do not want to make progress will embark on this path." Ma Jingqi admitted that this misunderstanding had depressed him for a long time, and once, when he was fetching water at school, he overheard some classmates calling art students "those who studied art" and said a lot of malicious speculation and comments. These words made Ma Jingqi very hurt. Unable to explain his love for music, unable to prove to everyone the hard work of daily practice, Ma Jingqi accumulated more and more emotions, coupled with the fact that because of practicing saxophone, the rest time was occupied too much, ma Jingqi began to "rebel". During that time, Ma Jingqi became obsessed with a shooting game and had not touched the saxophone for nearly two months. "I just couldn't control myself. Finally, I was awakened by a sentence from the teacher, who told me, 'Bravely chase your dreams, now is the time to work hard to get into a good school, and don't think about anything else.' Ma Jingqi understood that his dream was far from being completed, how could he let the attitude of others influence him? So, in the following days, he doubled down on his practice and regained his form.
Ma Jingqi once wrote in his diary: "There will always be many people who say: art examinees must not study well, they will learn art, and they will also say things like 'I envy you so easily, and the cultural achievement requirements are so low'. In the eyes of many people, the art exam is a shortcut to college, however, few people know that for the sake of the obsession in our hearts, we record headaches every day, practice musical instruments until we are soft, sing and sing until the voice is dumb..."
Music brings a wide range of horizons
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Jingqi began vocal training. "The body language of singing should come from the inner feelings, and you can't pretend to be a posture, dance with your hands, and shake your body at will. On the stage, every move of the hand and the foot are all about the beauty of the body..." Teacher Niu guided the performance of the song, and Ma Jingqi listened carefully. What did Sachs bring to his life? Ma Jingqi believes that it is more of an open mind, "because saxophone playing has a lot of fingerings, sometimes you have to choose different ways to deal with the music, at this moment it is not necessarily which fingering is better, you need to use strategic thinking." This has given him a thoughtful, optimistic and cheerful personality.
"Remember, don't choose songs with too bland melodic lines, there are some songs whose melodies move in a certain sound area from beginning to end, although it is easy to sing them in full, but such songs are not suitable for the exam." The songs of the exam are best heard so that people can hear the processing of the whole song and the unity of the timbre... "The unified exam is coming, the teachers have begun to guide the students according to the requirements of the exam in a targeted manner, and Teacher Niu has also helped Ma Jingqi choose songs with his heart."
In the unified examination interview, Ma Jingqi intends to play the famous Italian song "Promise". After discussing the feasibility with his teacher, he began to practice intensively. Ma Jingqi said that he is grateful that music has given him a pedal to open the door to the art world and make the future full of hope.
I want to be a teacher to pass on my dreams
At 10 p.m., on the way home, Ma Jingqi swayed with the bumps of the bus, and the music he wanted to practice was still playing in his headphones. "If I could, I would like to be admitted to ocean university of China." When talking about his dreams, Ma Jingqi shyly told reporters that he had also revealed his goals to teachers and parents. In his planning, he wants to enter Haida University to study, and then obtain a teacher's qualification certificate, become a music teacher, and insert small wings into the children's dreams.
Occasionally, on the way home from playing basketball with his good buddies, he also told his dream, "Don't you think that the profession of a teacher can teach the knowledge you have learned to children, which is very fulfilling and cool?" The friend threw the ball to him and said, "Then you will practice madly, do it madly, nothing is impossible, our youth is infinitely possible!" ”
These days, Ma Jingqi often loops Eason Chan's "Lonely Brave", "Go, match, this ragged cape; war, war, with the most humble dreams; to the whimpering and roaring in the night, who said that standing in the light is a hero", these lyrics Ma Jingqi liked it very much, and felt that it was very in line with the art test takers who bravely moved forward. "But who's right? Ma Jingqi wrote in his diary, "Choosing the art examination, I will not regret it in the past, present, and future." The red blood in those eyes, those sour cheeks, those night walks, those moments of crying and practicing, are all treasures. Who's to be sure what kind of surprises they will produce? Come on, art test takers! ”
/ Dialogue /
Reporter: Is there anything you would like to say to your classmates who are also struggling on the road of the art examination?
Ma Jingqi: I like a saying that goes like this, the whole life is an adventure, and the people who go the farthest are usually those who are willing to take risks. The most important thing in life is to set a goal and be determined to achieve it. Since we have chosen the art examination, we should go through both storms and rains. There is no better way to go to school, but on each road, there is a unique scenery. Prejudice often comes from people's misunderstandings, but I would like to say that every art test taker who pays hard is not worse than other people's children! We art test takers are not the idle children you say, we know what we want, we know what we are doing, and the results of our efforts will prove everything! We are dreamers on the road to youth! Like the motto of Slytherin House in Harry Potter: We come from the mire, we are ambitious, we crave power, we are strong and calm, we are graceful and self-sustaining, and we never regret it. The epidemic has undoubtedly added another resistance to our candidates. Compared with previous candidates, our professional learning has been affected to a certain extent, which is a big challenge, but the charm of life lies in its unknowability. Lay a solid foundation, step by step, we are on the road! Wish for what you want, wish for what you want. Heaven rewards hard work, and every point of payment that has been paid will surely receive a hundred times the return. No matter what the answer is, as long as you have worked hard and struggled, you will not regret it.
Reporter: On the way to prepare for the exam, is there anyone you are most grateful to?
Ma Jingqi: First of all, the most grateful person is definitely the parents. My parents gave me great support, they respected my opinion and listened carefully to my heart every time. Many of the pressures on the road to the art test were helped by my parents with love. And they have always been very tolerant of me, looking back on this road, many of my childish behaviors, wayward behaviors can not bear to look at me, but my parents have forgiven me and slowly guided me to a good direction, I really thank them. Secondly, I am very grateful to the teachers of Yizhen Music, who used their profession and all the experience they felt along the way to effectively give me guidance and support me to run to my dreams, they all worked hard! Finally, I also want to thank myself for not giving up on the thorns along the way, thanking myself for persevering and approaching that dream step by step.
Reporter: After the exam, do you have any wishes you want to fulfill?
Ma Jingqi: I would like to take a good trip, go to a distant place, such as Tibet or Inner Mongolia, and feel the wind and taste of freedom in the vast world. (Guanhai News/Qingdao Morning Post reporter Wang Tong)
