Yu Minhong, who was regarded by most people as the prototype of the story, said after the release of the film that the film was pure fiction and had nothing to do with him, because the movie Chen Dongqing and the real Yu Minhong were not miserable enough.
If you sum up Lao Yu's experience in one sentence, it is a bitter child in the countryside, struggling to upgrade and fight monsters. But it is a story of constantly being pressed to the ground and rubbing mercilessly.
In 1978, Yu Minhong took the college entrance examination, and his English score was only 33 points, and that year he knew for the first time what it meant to be lonely. The next year, he walked into the college entrance examination again, this time scoring 55 points in English, although the score improved, but it still fell off the list.
For the average person, the two college entrance examinations will be abandoned, there is no need to take the test, you are that level, right? And rural children don't have any money at home, and they don't have the conditions to go home and plant a land and drive a tractor. As soon as the eyes are opened and closed, this life will pass.
But under the strong insistence of his old mother, he still participated in the college entrance examination in 1980, that year he was admitted to Peking University, twice fell off the list, and the third time he was admitted to a top university, this story is absolutely legendary, so according to the previous storyline.
From the beginning of being admitted to Peking University, Yu Minhong should have started a life of opening and hanging, but after entering the campus of Peking University, Yu Minhong found that the hanging was not open, and the nightmare began.
Lao Yu's third college entrance examination, although he scored 95 points, in the 80s with a full score of 100 points, this score was considered a top talent in their class, but friends In this subject, English is different from other disciplines, you not only have to get good grades, but also learn English expression.
But Lao Yu's colloquial pronunciation was grossly substandard, so when his proudest English was spoken, his crappy English was ridiculed by the class, "rose and tent to tent to make an easy fight against Theo life is game of luck."
Yu Minhong, who originally wanted to show his face, lost his face in front of the whole class, and he couldn't wait for swimming lessons, and he wanted to perform well.
Swimming for Yu Minhong, who grew up on the edge of the Yangtze River, this is a skill that he has learned since he was a child, and he happily swam back and forth in the water, and after climbing up, he looked at the teacher and waited for the long-lost praise. As a result, the teacher laughed and said, "I've never seen a man whose dog can plan so fast", and at that moment Lao Yu was hurt again.
But the biggest hurt comes from feelings. During college, Yu Minhong confessed to many female classmates, but failed to succeed, some people will say that he is definitely too high standards, can not find a beautiful, just find a general bar, the general is not good to find a good look, long good-looking also some people like it, it is true, the ugliest girl in their class did receive love letters, but then Yu Minhong wrote, but even if his standard is reduced to the lowest, there is no girl and old friends. Yu Minhong does look very average.
Many years later, Yu Minhong, who is worth tens of billions, said in an interview with the media that any girl he saw at that time wanted to pounce on it.
I don't know if the girls who rejected him after Yu Minhong became famous later have regretted it, and this cannot be verified. But at that time, they had absolutely no regrets, so Yu Minhong, who was not successful in his studies and frustrated in love, finally fell ill in his junior year, and this disease was still a serious illness.
He developed tuberculosis and was suspended from school for a year because the school feared he would be infected. Until Yu Minhong graduated in 1985, 49 of the 50 classmates in the country studied abroad, and the remaining one was him - Yu Minhong.
He also wanted to go abroad, but because he had no money, he had to stay at Peking University as a teacher, with eight classes a week, and his monthly salary plus bonus was only two hundred yuan. Fortunately, Yu Minhong had long been accustomed to this marginalized state of life, and he was very satisfied with his life at that time.
In 1988, Yu Minhong got married, and his wife told him that "if you can't go abroad, you don't want to enter this family again" In order to earn more money to study abroad, he taught at Peking University while running a training class outside the school that later affected the direction of his life.
Because of Yu Minhong's name as a teacher at Peking University, his training class business is booming, at least more than the teacher earns. But one evening in the autumn of the following year, Yu Minhong completely collapsed. On that day, a message was broadcast on the campus radio: "Teacher Yu Minhong has seriously affected the teaching order because he taught outside without permission, and now he has decided to be expelled."
The news was broadcast in the school for three consecutive days, and the punishment was posted on the bulletin board for more than a month. So Yu Minhong, whose life had just improved, had to pull his luggage with his left hand and his wife with his right hand to leave the campus of Peking University, when Yu Minhong was 28 years old.
Yu Minhong, who had nowhere to go, had to rely on his years of teaching experience to continue to open his training class, at this time he just wanted to survive. When no students signed up, he gave free lectures, resulting in more than 300 students. He came to listen to his lectures under the name of "Peking University Teacher". Yu Minhong began to slowly gain popularity.
In 1990, the State Education Commission announced: "Support study abroad, encourage return to China, and come and go freely" to further relax the policy of studying abroad at their own expense, and many college students want to go out and see the outside world. And this policy, let Yu Minhong's training class, stand on the cusp of the "tide of going abroad", two years later, his students have more than 15,000 people, Yu Minhong never dreamed that he would become China's earliest multi-millionaire, although Yu Minhong has money.
But his life was still like a bitter love film, and at that time everyone knew that Yu Minhong was rich, so he was kidnapped. After being forcibly injected with anesthetic, he carried two million in cash with him and was also robbed. At the hospital, the doctor told the family that the dose of anesthetic injected by the bandits to Yu Minhong at that time could kill a tiger, but Yu Minhong miraculously survived.
People survive, money is gone. A year later, the gang of bandits found Yu Minhong again, still familiar with the formula, familiar operation, first injected and then robbed money. But this time Yu Minhong couldn't stand it. "Grab it once, and come a second time!" Excessive, this is not clearly a bully, ah, he rose up to fight off the bandits.
Nine years later, this gang of bandits was arrested, according to their accounts, they kidnapped a total of 7 people, six of them were gone, only Yu Minhong was still alive, that is, Yu Minhong's first half of life stumbled from scratch, extremely difficult. But what really makes Yu Minhong the "godfather of studying abroad" and influenced a generation of people still has to start with the "troika" of New Oriental.
