Zhou Shuangjian
It is worth mentioning that the reason why Zhou Shuangjian embarked on the road of modeling is entirely under the guidance of his younger brother Zhou Shuangjie. Interestingly, Zhou Shuangjie also graduated from Tsinghua University, and is also an excellent model in China, who has shot advertisements for many internationally renowned brands such as Samsung mobile phones and Toshiba laptops.
What the author has compiled and told is the inspirational story of Zhou Shuangjian and Zhou Shuangjie, two Tsinghua talents who have been dependent on each other since childhood and have both entered the modeling industry.
Zhou Shuangjian / Zhou Shuangjian brothers
Brotherly love, all the way to "Tsinghua"
The brothers Zhou Shuangjian and Zhou Shuangjie come from a family of high-ranking intellectuals in Harbin. Zhou Shuangjian is two years older than Zhou Shuangjie, and he has been one head higher than his younger brother since he was a child, but the personalities of the two are completely different, Zhou Shuangjie is lively and active, while Zhou Shuangjian is as timid as a little girl and never likes to laugh.
In the memories of the brothers, the first Chinese character that their father, Zhou Xueqian, taught them was the word "Qinghua". When they grew up, they learned that his father, who had always had impressive results, could not apply for Tsinghua University under the influence of the big era at that time, so he had to pin his dream on his two sons.
Zhou Shuangjian / Zhou Shuangjie brothers
One day in August 1992, Zhou Shuangjian finally fulfilled his father's dream, and he was admitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering of Tsinghua University with excellent results.
The first days of coming to Tsinghua were unusually lonely for Zhou Shuangjian, who was not good at talking. The days without my brother's company were so difficult. His brother left, Zhou Shuangjie also felt lost, and he decided to follow his brother to Tsinghua University, who was preparing to apply for Peking University. In a letter to his brother, he confidently said: "Brother, this time next year, you will pick me up at the gate of Tsinghua University!" "The brothers agreed not to see each other.
Brothers and mother
In August 1993, Zhou Shuangjie was admitted to the Department of Civil Engineering of Tsinghua University as he wished, and the moment the brothers met, they couldn't help but hug each other.
When he was at Tsinghua, Zhou Shuangjian lived in Building 28 and Zhou Shuangjie lived in Building 23, and the two buildings were connected end to end, so as long as there was time, Zhou Shuangjie would run to his brother's dormitory to play and take his brother to participate in some social activities. Under the influence of his younger brother, Zhou Shuangjian's personality was also much more cheerful.
For the care of the younger brother, the older brother will also return the favor as much as possible. One summer, Zhou Shuangjie was admitted to the hospital because he injured his foot from playing ball, Zhou Shuangjian brought a cool mat from the dormitory, and slept on the floor of the ward for several days; and one winter, when the school was on winter vacation, many of his brother's clothes had not been washed, Zhou Shuangjian washed him overnight, rubbed in cold water for nearly three or four hours, and finally his palms were broken...
The closeness of the Zhou brothers was once a good story at Tsinghua University.
In the tears, the younger brother and his brother "traveled" through the beautiful life
At Tsinghua University, the height of the Zhou brothers is equally striking. Especially Zhou Shuangjian, since coming to Tsinghua, his height has grown by leaps and bounds, and in the blink of an eye, he has exceeded 1.9 meters, and Zhou Shuangjie has also reached more than 1.8 meters. However, Zhou Shuangjian, who was 1.9 meters tall, weighed only a "pitiful" 65 kilograms at the time, no matter which corner of the school he went, he became a "special" scenery, and even the female classmates joked that he said: "Who dares to be thinner than Zhou Shuangjian?" ”
Whenever Zhou Shuangjian heard such words, his heart was not a taste.

In order to gain weight, Zhou Shuangjian made a "hard work". At first, he ate desperately, and originally only ate three or two meals per meal, he began to ask for half a pound, gritting his teeth and stuffing his stomach. Looking at his brother's pained look, Zhou Shuangjie advised him: "If you don't exercise, you can't eat so much." If you want to increase the amount of food, you need to exercise more. He led his brother to the school gym, and he didn't expect that this collar would lead Zhou Shuangjian to a different life.
At that time, Zhou Shuangjian got up early every morning to go to the playground for long-distance running, and then went to the gym to practice equipment after meals. Professional fitness is very painful and boring, but Zhou Shuangjian is a persistent person, and he will stick to the end when he finds things. Once, because he had been practicing for too long, he was accidentally smashed in the face by a folded arm, and his teeth hurt for three days and he could not eat.
Zhou Shuangjie knew that his brother was a person who pursued perfection, so when he learned that his brother was fighting with himself in an almost "cruel" way, he did not stop him, but as much as possible as a sparring partner for his brother. In this way, after half a year, Zhou Shuangjian's weight increased by 15 kilograms.
In the spring of 1997, Zhou Shuangjian was admitted to the Department of International Finance of Tsinghua University for a master's degree, and in July of the following year, Zhou Shuangjie also graduated and joined the work. Just after getting his first monthly salary, he took out 800 yuan to buy a pair of Nike sneakers for his brother.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Shuangjian had spent eight spring, summer, autumn and winter in Tsinghua, and June 16, 2000 was the day he bid farewell to Tsinghua, but just the day before he graduated, an old newspaper that had been forgotten on the table brought him into another sunny and beautiful new world.
On the morning of June 15, Zhou Shuangjie came to help his brother pack his bags, and he accidentally found an advertisement for a modeling training class in an old newspaper on the table, so he said to his brother with great interest: "Brother, you see the requirements of this modeling training class, it is almost like aiming at us." Let's just sign up, it doesn't matter if it's a game! Saying that, he pushed and dragged his brother out of the door.
When registering, Zhou Shuangjian solemnly signed up as a student of Tsinghua University, and when he left the school, he wanted to finally express his attachment to Tsinghua University for 8 years in this way.
After two months of model training, the two brothers actually found the feeling and happiness of being models. They came to the most authoritative New Silk Road model agency in the mainland at that time, and the company also gave them a good evaluation.
At that time, Zhou Shuangjian was already a trader at the Bank of China's head office, American Securities, Zhou Shuangjie had also worked for COSCO Real Estate Company, and was still actively preparing for graduate school, at that time, in their view, to participate in model training was just "play tickets", to get the praise of others even if they proved themselves, they did not expect that one day, they would embark on the road of professional modeling.
On December 21, 2000, Zhou Shuangjian suddenly received a notice from the New Silk Road Modeling Company that there was a large-scale promotion event for him to participate in. On that day, my brother just happened to go on a business trip to a foreign country, and Zhou Shuangjian rushed over alone. His performance was well received by the company's boss, who asked to sign him on the spot. At that moment, Zhou Shuangjian simply didn't know how to be good, but just said anxiously, "What if my brother is not there?" The other party took into account the physical condition and academic qualifications of the brothers and promised to admit the two of them out of the box. Zhou Shuangjian was relieved, and in this way the brothers became professional models.
The younger brother "made" the master brother into a famous model
After signing the new Silk Road, Zhou Shuangjian has not told the unit and his parents about this news. Fortunately, he is doing US securities trading, working at night and resting during the day, so as long as it is hard, basically neither side is delayed.
In order to practice his basic skills, Zhou Shuangjian almost reduced his rest time to a minimum. When I am busy, I can only sleep 3 hours a day, and even go to the toilet, I walk in and out of the table. On silent nights, he always took advantage of his rest time to practice back and forth in the glass hall of the unit.
In September 2001, the two brothers represented the company in the Beijing division of the National Model Competition, and after several rounds of screening, he and his brother reached the top 30 in one go among more than 3,000 contestants. The final final is about to start, after some consideration, the younger brother Zhou Shuangjie feels that his brother is taller than himself, the conditions are better than himself, and he is more capable of winning the championship. He took the initiative to become his brother's sparring partner and "teacher".
The most eye-catching thing in the competition is the swimsuit competition, a big man wearing only a pair of shorts exposed in front of everyone, which is really a very shy and embarrassing thing for Zhou Shuangjian. During the rehearsal, Zhou Shuangjian's expression was extremely unnatural, and Zhou Shuangjie advised him: "Brother, you should be taking a bath in the bathhouse, what is so great." Besides, don't you still have me, the 'light pig' brother, by your side? Perhaps with his brother by his side, Zhou Shuangjian's courage increased greatly, and he completed his "passionate" performance brilliantly.
In this competition, Zhou Shuangjian won the championship. When the applause sounded, Zhou Shuangjian said to his brother affectionately: "This championship should belong to you." The two brothers embraced each other excitedly, their eyes moist.
Less than a month after participating in the Beijing finals, Zhou Shuangjian embarked on a journey to Sanya, Hainan to participate in the national finals. Just after the National Day in 2001, his parents and brother sent Zhou Shuangjian to the airport, and at the airport Zhou Shuangjian and his brother hugged each other again, and Zhou Shuangjie clasped his brother's hand and said: "Brother, you will succeed, this time the champion is none other than you!" ”
As soon as he arrived in Sanya, the contestants surrounded Zhou Shuangjian, because in this competition, Zhou Shuangjian had the highest education, the highest height, and the oldest age, so people called him "the boss of the three highs". Many players said to him: "You are the champion of this national championship." Even the reporter of CCTV Channel 4 believes that the male model champion of the final must be Zhou Shuangjian, and has repeatedly told him to cooperate with their interview after winning the award.
However, contrary to expectations, this time Zhou Shuangjian unexpectedly only won the runner-up. When he returned from Sanya, Zhou Shuangjian did not tell his brother about his return date, and he felt sorry for his brother. Unexpectedly, just after walking to the exit of the airport, I watched my brother standing there holding a large bouquet of flowers in anticipation, and Zhou Shuangjian said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I lost the trophy." Zhou Shuangjie said: "Brother, in my eyes, you will always be a champion." Privately, Zhou Shuangjie even thought that it was a good thing that his brother did not win the championship, and with this setback, he would definitely work harder on the road of life in the future.
Soon, my brother's words really came true. In July 2002, Zhou Shuangjian was elected as an executive member of the China Professional Fashion Model Committee for his outstanding performance, and in November of the same year, he won the first National Finals of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions Model Competition, and his dream finally came true.
At that time, Zhou Shuangjian was already the most popular male model in China, but the aura brought to him by the supermodel did not make him forget every day and night he walked, and he did not forget the care and careful "transformation" of his brother from childhood to adulthood. "My trophy and honor should be attributed to my brother", this is a sentence that Zhou Shuangjian often said to the outside world.
Because of his work, zhou Shuangjie in addition to major performances, put most of his time on his own work, less than 30 years old is now the manager of the engineering department of COSCO Real Estate Company.
Zhou Shuangjie, general manager of Wharf Beijing City Company, became a candidate for the "2019 China Top 100 Real Estate Managers".
