Mention the name Zhang Xifeng, many netizens may know, because he is the Hengshui Middle School bully who became popular on the Internet because of his speech. The reason why Zhang Xifeng became popular on the Internet is because his speech is impassioned and infectious, and because of his calmness, confidence and generosity on the stage.
But have you ever thought that one day Zhang Xifeng will also lose his attitude on the podium? And what will be the reason for Zhang Xifeng's gaffe?
Hengshui Middle School, a place known as the "myth of the college entrance examination", every year more than 100 students pass the college entrance examination to enter Tsinghua Peking University, and the on-line rate of one book has reached an astonishing 90%. But at the same time, Hengshui Middle School has also been widely criticized by society, because the semi-military management system implemented by Hengshui Middle School is the so-called "Hengzhong model".
Under the "Hengzhong mode", students get up at 5:30 to run exercises, and then enter the endless study (there is an hour-long lunch break at noon), which lasts until about 22:10 in the evening, with more than 14 hours of study time throughout the day. Therefore, Hengshui Middle School is also known as the "college entrance examination processing factory", and the students of Hengshui Middle School are also called "college entrance examination machines".
In order to correct the name of his alma mater, and to tell the world what he was doing in Hengshui Middle School, Zhang Xifeng responded to the outside world's questions about the "college entrance examination machine" in the super speaker Zheng Youth program. But what is different from the previous speech is that Zhang Xifeng seems to be a little out of shape on the stage, although his speech is still impassioned and infectious, but everyone also clearly feels that Zhang Xifeng's mentality is unbalanced in the face of external doubts. Especially when mentioning his and his classmates' efforts at Hengshui Middle School, Zhang Xifeng could not control his emotions.
Zhang Xifeng said: "This year, my third year of high school, after the college entrance examination registration, it means that we are no longer students, but candidates. We studied desperately, day and night in a race against time. The first thing we do when we wake up in the morning is to shout out our ideals. Some people say that my ideal is Stanford; some people say that I want to take the financial major at Tsinghua University; my goal is the department of Chinese peking university. We indulge in it, we lose weight for it, and that feeling drives us crazy. ”
"Those who slander us for no reason, have you ever seen the appearance of Hengzhong High School at 5:30 a.m.?" What do you think we run to the playground every day before dawn, running and shouting? Is it pretending? Is it a show? We're here to change lives!" ”
"The candidates in Hengzhong and the candidates in Hebei Province, they are all children from ordinary families, and they all shoulder the expectations of the entire family for generations. They are not college entrance examination machines, not educational deformities, they are just a group of poor children, want to be the pride of their parents, want to let the people they love, can live more wonderfully, live. What's wrong with them? They're you! We are like all the people in China who run hard for the sake of their dreams, regardless of ridicule! ”
"The quieter we are, the more peaceful we are, the more calm we are, the more patient we are, the more fearless we are, and the more boiling the turbulence hidden in our eyes becomes. It's the path we've chosen for ourselves, we never need anyone to point fingers, and we can go just as well. ”
For the speech of Zhang Xifeng, a bully at Hengshui Middle School, guest Liu Yiwei commented that he (Zhang Xifeng) is prejudiced against this society. Now we are all criticizing those who flaunt wealth, but what is the difference between showing off suffering? For example, he said, a lot of people are questioning his school. In the whole world, there cannot be only one voice, and a thousand people will have a thousand voices. Our hearts are bright, and what we see is light; our hearts are dark, and what we see is dark. In fact, the criticism you see, the speech you hear, is a kind of feedback in your heart. I think this child should look around with a broader vision, and should face his surroundings with a more straightforward and frank attitude.
But easier said than done, how many people can look around with a broader vision and a more straightforward and open mind? What's more, Zhang Xifeng is still only a high school student, and what he said is also the truth. Some people may say that the college entrance examination is just one of many ways out of life, so do you know how many students have the hope of changing their fate on the college entrance examination?
Hengshui Middle School's educational model may indeed be problematic, not as many people expect. But do you know how many students hope Hengshui Middle School has given? So when we criticize Hengshui Middle School, please think about how to make more children from poor families go to good colleges? But at the same time, we must also reflect on what makes us take the score very seriously, and even the growth of Chinese children themselves.
