Any ordinary child can have an extraordinary future.
Smart parents will send their children to a "track" that suits them.

What does a child face if he doesn't get into high school?
May go to the construction site to move bricks, may go to the restaurant to end the plate, may go to the electronics factory dry assembly line...
His hard work and humility, we can fully imagine.
The only thing he can't imagine is that he can stand on the podium of the world champion to receive flowers and applause, can be awarded honorary medals by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the All-China Youth Federation, and can be competed for by enterprises.
Humble is him, and counterattack is also him.
This is not a legend, but a real thing.
Liang Pan, the protagonist of the story, lets us see how those children with ordinary grades can realize their personal value and have a bright future through "the second way in addition to grades".
Trough
In 2012, Chongqing child Liang Pan was in the third year of junior high school, and it was the critical period of the middle school entrance examination, but there was an accident at home.
First my parents divorced, my mother was gone, and my father was drunk every day.
Unfortunately, Dad was subsequently diagnosed with a serious illness.
The successive blows made him no longer have the heart to study, and he failed to enter high school in the middle school entrance examination.
He wanted to go to a vocational school, but his seriously ill father needed his care and had to give up his education.
Not long after, my father died again.
In just one year, the teenager's family was separated, and working to earn money to earn a living was the only way he could think of.
But he has neither education nor skills, and can only do some rough physical work.
He followed his uncle to the construction site to move bricks and mix cement, and every day he was tired and his legs were sore, and he couldn't stand up when he lay down, so he could only earn 80 yuan.
He also went to the town to work as a waiter in the spicy skewer shop, skewering spicy skewers every day, his hands were often hot and spicy, and he couldn't sleep at night, and it was only 1,000 yuan a month.
He also worked as a security guard for the night, handed out leaflets to real estate companies...
Either job is too cruel for a 15-year-old.
Whenever he thinks back on these days, he feels bitter: "Every day when I come home, it is waist pain, leg pain, arm pain, I feel that people can't stand up, really too tired, too bitter." 」 ”
He couldn't have imagined that 7 years later he would be wearing the flag and standing on the podium of the WorldSkills championship.
Turn
After working odd jobs for half a year, Liang Pan turned 16 and could enter the factory, and he became an assembly line worker in the electronics factory.
The job is low-paying, tiring, and physical exertion in tedious repetitive labor every day, and the days can be seen at a glance.
He soon found that everyone "has different lives in the same factory": colleagues with academic qualifications sit in the office, and colleagues with skills do technical positions. Both of these men were easier than he was.
Especially for a mechanic, even if he only maintains the equipment and debugs the equipment, the salary is twice that of him.
This comparison made Liang Pan have a thought: still have to learn a skill!
In this way, Liang Pan, who had suffered in the society for a year, re-entered the campus.
Because he liked electronic products since he was a child, he chose a technical school majoring in electrical assembly and maintenance.
The goal was clear: to learn skills, and the motivation was simple: to earn a high salary.
I believe that every student who entered the technical school has such an idea, if you insist on saying that Liang Pan is different, it is probably that the past year's part-time work career has brought him too much understanding:
"Without this year's experience and feelings, I would not have cherished the opportunity to learn so much."
So, he works harder than his classmates.
At that time, their professional classes were divided into morning classes and afternoon classes, and according to the class schedule, students could just take half-day classes.
Only Liang Pan, every time on the whole day, went out at 7 o'clock in the morning and returned to the dormitory at 9 o'clock at night.
After class, I go to audit the classes of other teachers and constantly consolidate my knowledge and skills.
If he just goes on like this, Liang Pan will probably become an excellent graduate, relying on his own skills after graduation and having a good income.
But fate never fails to treat anyone who works hard.
The super good fortune that belonged to Liang Pan soon came.
"Gladiator"
In 2015, the school needed to form a training team to participate in the 4th Chongqing Vocational Skills Competition.
Liang Pan was selected with excellent results, and passed five levels and six generals, won the second prize on behalf of the school, and successfully entered the Chongqing Training Team and prepared to sprint to the national team.
This is a big challenge.
In the summer of 2016, the students all went home, and only he stayed at the base for high-intensity training.
In Chongqing, where people sit at 40 °C, their pants are soaked with sweat, leaving sweat stains after drying.
Because of the unskilled movements, the soldering iron often burned to the hand, and Liang Pan's hands were all blisters. He also just ran to the bathroom to rinse it with cool water and went into training again.
"Those who achieve great things must have perseverance." Liang Pan personally interpreted this.
In the 2017 World Championship National Selection Competition, he was successfully selected for the national team with a good result of fourth place.
The school saw his strength and sent him to Abu Dhabi, UNITED Arab Emirates to observe the 44th World Vocational Skills Competition.
"If you have seen the sea, you will not care about the pond."
The World Championship can broaden people's horizons, have seen the world's top masters, first-class technology Liang Pan, the dream is no longer stopped at "learning skills to earn high wages".
Instead: Participate in the World Career Skills Competition and be a world champion!
At that time, he did not know how difficult it was to walk.
Dream
In the field of China's electronic technology in 2017, the best result of the world championship was only the tenth in the world.
At this time, Liang Pan has a better choice than challenging the world champion: he has graduated, his past experience has been "gilded" for him a lot, and many companies have thrown olive branches to him.
But he declined one by one.
He chose to stay in the school training base, while preaching to students as a teacher to solve their problems, while training the team as a coach, and actively preparing for the 45th WorldSkills Competition as a player.
Triple identity, greater responsibility.
He was more strict with himself, training at the base for more than ten hours a day.
Electronic technology is developing rapidly, and the content of the competition is adjusting at any time.
For example, one of the programs was replaced by an all-English version, and Liang Pan, who only had a junior high school education, struggled to learn and could only understand one word at a time.
It's not enough to use your brain.
There are more than 200 points of the circuit board densely distributed on the board, and each point needs to be soldered by hand.
Sometimes a task is not completed well, either there is a problem in the collection, or there is a problem with the signal, he repeatedly operates, experiments, until all the problems are overcome.
Such repetitive work is much harder than his work on the assembly line!
But he enjoyed it, sometimes even busy until more than 3 a.m.
"Starlight does not ask passers-by, and the years pay off."
In 2018, Liang Pan was selected for the national team with the first place, and finally represented the Chinese team in the 45th WorldSkills Competition.
In this competition, he is no longer a craftsman who learns skills for "gilding", no longer a young player who comes to learn experience, and even a professional player who "competes for the sake of competition".
He has only one mission: to win glory for the country!
The game process does not have to be counted, tense, busy, high pressure.
He thought about the flag he carried with him and couldn't sleep at night.
Thinking about everyone's expectations and the hardships of these years, he shed tears at the flag.
So, on that night of witnessing history, the moment he heard that he had won the gold, he was "so excited that his heart jumped out."
This is the first gold medal in China's electronic technology project!
In the spotlight, he proudly raised the national flag on his body and shouted wildly.
How hard the past training was, how proud the mood at this moment was.
Who would have thought that 7 years ago, he would still be a down-and-out student who couldn't even pass high school?
People are not afraid of falling to the bottom, they are afraid of not having the courage to bottom out and rebound.
And Liang Pan is undoubtedly the one who "rebounded" very thoroughly.
New mission
What about the rest of the story?
Liang Pan said that the game is not the ultimate goal.
"Encourage more workers to take the road of becoming skilled and serving the country with skills, and cultivate more high-skilled talents, and I hope to make my own efforts in this regard."
Today, he is just an ordinary teacher at the Chongqing Railway Transport Technician College.
Ordinary posts, but live out an extraordinary life.
He took the lead in setting up a professional world competition class, and passed on his experience, methods and methods to future generations without reservation.
Some of the players he trained have achieved good results in the selection of the World Championship, some have entered the national team, and some have won the honorary title of "National Technical Expert".
In order to meet the needs of enterprises for outstanding skilled talents, in 2020, the "Liang Pan Skill Master Studio" was established, which is an institution specializing in docking the needs of the industry, the needs of enterprises, and the transformation of educational achievements.
The hot-blooded teenager who dreamed of changing his fate through a skill is unconsciously changing the fate of more people.
Sentiment
In reality, most people's cognition seems that only going to high school, going to college, and sitting in the office is a good way out of work.
But what we have seen in the expansion of the college entrance examination for more than 20 years is that how many college students cannot find a satisfactory job after graduation, in order to enhance their competitiveness, they have to go to graduate school and phD, and the serious internal volume makes children and parents overwhelmed.
But the country needs not only "office talents", but also workshop talents, base talents, stage talents...
Liang Pan's story made me see that those children who were forced to drop out of school and were diverted to vocational high schools may not have a good development.
Three hundred and sixty lines, all lines can produce talents.
Therefore, if the child hopes to make achievements in academics, then support him to fight for academic qualifications, graduate school, and doctoral studies.
But if the child learns mediocrely and does not like to read, there is no need to force the child to do the problem.
It is wise to send your child to the right track for him in time.
Because what determines personal development is never only the path of academic qualifications, but also skills and talents.
In this sense, those children who did not enter high school should be thankful: he gave up the track that was not suitable for him in time, saving time and costs for the early realization of self-worth.
enlighten
Then a new question arises: as long as you can't get into high school, can you become the next "Liang Pan"?
not necessarily.
The story of Liang Pan made me see 4 revelations for children from ordinary to extraordinary:
1. A "beating" of life works better than anything
Liang Pan has worked hard and truly experienced the bitterness of no education and no skills, so after returning to school, he cherished the hard-won learning opportunities more, and only then did he have the rebirth of Nirvana.
Therefore, a good education is not nagging, but letting children experience the hardships of life and seize every opportunity to let him participate in social practice.
This is not cruel, but let the child recognize the truth of life early, and then re-examine his behavior and make rational choices.
2. Discover your child's love and talent, that may be his way out of the future
Liang Pan's mental exhaustion and physical hardship during the training were far more arduous than when he was working, but he always worked hard for his dreams.
Interest is the best talent.
He likes electronic products, so he doesn't feel bitter and tired, and he can always enjoy the fun of challenges.
Therefore, parents should continue to broaden their children's horizons, let him find out what he really likes in the vast world, and then give support.
This is not indulgence, but early detection of where the child's talent lies, and planning in advance.
3. Guiding your child to make great ambitions is the key to his success
Whether it is Liang Pan, who wants to learn skills to earn a high salary, or Liang Pan, who wants to win glory for the country, let us see the impact of "ambition" on a child.
Success science often says: the more ambitious people, the more fearless they are, and even if they encounter setbacks, they can bottom out.
Therefore, we must tell our children: no matter which industry they are engaged in in the future, they must have a clear goal of struggle and have the ambition not to give up until they reach the goal.
People are not afraid of being poor, they are afraid of short ambition, and children who lack anything cannot lack ambition.
4. Dropping out of school and attending vocational high school is not the end of a child's life, giving up learning and hard work is
Liang Pan's counterattack all the way tells us that even if a child is not admitted to high school, this life will not be wasted.
Before the decision was made, everyone was a dark horse.
Any ordinary child may have an extraordinary future.
Therefore, no matter what the child's grades are, parents should not rush to characterize him, but always encourage, often help, and always support.
When a parent always has confidence in his child, he can always have expectations for the future.
Tell your child that giving up learning and hard work is the beginning of a person's downhill journey.
Not only is there no fear of the diversion of the middle school entrance examination, but also fearless of the stratification of the college entrance examination, no matter what kind of situation, always do not fall into the ambition of the clouds, down-to-earth step by step efforts.
One day, we will definitely break out of our own new world.
