I believe that many people have seen a movie "Please call me first", this film adapted from a real story tells the protagonist Brad who suffers from Tourette syndrome since childhood, and will uncontrollably make strange noises in public and convulse all over the body. This strange behavior made him not understood by the people around him since he was a child, and he was repeatedly frustrated, but through his unremitting efforts, he became a well-known teacher, writer, and inspirational speaker. Today, a similar inspirational story is being played out at Harbin Engineering University.
Xu Runze, an undergraduate student majoring in naval architecture and ocean engineering at the School of Naval Architecture of Harbin Engineering University, has suffered from tics since childhood, will shout uncontrollably and frequently, and his hands and feet will be involuntarily waved, unlike most children who drop out of school early because of their inability to restrain this neurological disorder, he not only went to college, but also recently obtained the qualification of directly studying for the school's "ace" professional doctoral student with the first place in the major.
Although he tried his best to control it, he still couldn't "control" himself
In the audiovisual space of the Harbin Engineering University Library, a "Turkish March" is played smoothly and powerfully by Xu Runze. It's hard to imagine how a tic patient could reach the tenth level of the electronic keyboard, but from the confidence and optimism he indulges in the notes, it can be seen that he has found a way to live in harmony with the disease.
Xu Runze, who plays the Turkish March
Millennium, Xu Runze was born in an ordinary family in Anshan, Liaoning Province, from a young age, he obediently shouted uncontrollably in class in the second semester of the first grade, the teacher reminded him many times and also found his parents, and the reprimanded Runze was very aggrieved and tried his best to control, but he still "managed" himself.
After traveling to various hospitals for treatment, he was diagnosed with tics. After a long period of treatment and repeated illness, Xu Runze gradually accepted the reality. "My mother told me that there was a brother living in my body, and when he wanted to express his opinion, I would make a sound, and if he wanted to try, I would unconsciously wave my arm."
At school, he tentatively explained his symptoms to his teachers and classmates, and when he came home from school, he insisted on practicing playing the piano. "My hands were shaking, my attention was not concentrating, I always played wrong, so I practiced over and over again, and when I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, I reached the 10th grade of the electronic keyboard and won the award." Xu Runze said.
Due to long-term medication, his memory was affected, and it was difficult to learn subjects such as English and Chinese, which required a lot of memorization. Even so, Xu Runze did not give up any subject, others used 10 minutes, he used 2 or 3 hours. He always "stupid birds fly first" and uses the vacation to study the subjects of the next semester in advance.
Xu Runze organized a small class to answer questions for the students
Fate closed a door for Runze at the same time, but also opened a window, Runze's mathematical physics score is very good, often have their own unique problem-solving ideas. Many others find the operation very complicated, and he can solve the answer in less than 5 seconds. He was also very fond of invention, and his mother asked him what he wanted to do in the future. He said to contribute to the country.
"When I was a child, my grandmother always told me stories, and I was very eager for the military, so I applied for Harbin Engineering University."
Don't worry, just take a good class
The first time I left home to study in a foreign country, Runze was still a little nervous: living a collective life, what if the classmates around me could not accept themselves?
"Who's speaking up?" In a public class of more than 200 people, unsuspecting teachers couldn't help but ask questions after emphasizing the discipline of the class several times. The classroom was momentarily quiet, and Runze timidly raised his hand and let out an inappropriate shout. The whole class coaxed, the students whispered, Ande blushed shyly, not knowing how to explain for a while.
After a period of time, Runze was very devastated, he had some inferiority, did not like to participate in group activities, and even had the urge to quit school. But gradually, he found that the attitude of the classmates around him had changed, the pointing points had become smiling, the unfamiliar classmates would also take the initiative to greet him, and no one whispered about his behavior in the classroom.
After a long time, he realized that it was the result of the counselor, the class leader and the roommate carrying him behind his back and communicating with the classroom teacher and class classmates one by one. "Don't worry, just go to class." The words of his roommate warmed his heart.
The words of counselor Liu Yongchao reassured him even more: "Don't worry, Harbin Engineering is a university with all temperature and tolerance. Liu Yongchao put more energy into caring for him than other students, and doing work for the students around him. What particularly touched Liu Yongchao was that the students were also very loving. "For a while, Runze applied for a day school because of his symptoms, and his roommate took the initiative to contact me behind Runze's back, worried that he was not safe alone and let him come back. I think this is where education succeeds, where students learn not only professional knowledge in school, but also tolerance and acceptance. ”
Go out of your way to give back to the kindness of those around you
Because of the problem of memory, Runze entered the final exam more than a month earlier than other students, and when the students were anxious about their weaknesses before the exam, he would always share his clear knowledge vein with everyone, print out the outline of his own knowledge and send it to the students around him, and do his best to give back to the kindness of the people around him.
Soon, Runze and his "treasure book of points" gradually "fire", the dormitory can not fit to find his students to answer questions, he will make an appointment in the library seminar room, from the test point summary to the problem solving skills, a lecture is three or four hours. At present, he has opened more than 20 small classes, covering all professional courses.
Counselor Liu Yongchao and Xu Runze exchanged hearts
Liu Yongchao suggested that Runze compile all the knowledge points of professional courses into a book and publish it. Xu Runze also wanted to do something for the college before graduation. Nowadays, the "Points Guide" has begun to take shape, and the elaborate drawings and the formulas derived by the editor show the intention of Moisturizing, "I plan to write 100,000 words, and to ensure the quality of printing, I will do the best." ”
During college, the person Runze wanted to thank most was his counselor Liu Yongchao. "During the exam, the more I concentrated on answering the questionnaire, I would make frequent sounds, and my hands would unconsciously hit the table. In order to avoid affecting others, Teacher Liu applied for a separate examination room for me, from the first year to the senior year, more than 30 examinations, and the invigilator was him. Xu Runze said, "Usually very busy, giving me proctoring is not his job." ”
Because of his physical condition, Runze usually tries to avoid strenuous exercise, and physical testing of 1000 meters is not a small challenge for him. "It doesn't matter, you exercise more in advance, just think of this as a normal exam, don't be stressed." Liu Yongchao comforted him.
The starting gun sounded, and Runze tried his best, but by the second lap he had no strength, when he saw a familiar figure at the end of the runway shouting: "Come on! Moist! ”。 Unexpectedly, Teacher Liu deliberately ran to the stadium to cheer him up, and he didn't know where the strength came from, he gritted his teeth and insisted on running the whole way, "Finally sprinted a bit and rushed into the passing line." ”
Instructor Li Shuai gave scientific research guidance to Xu Runze
During the winter vacation this year, Associate Professor Li Shuai of the Fluid-Structure Interaction Technology Laboratory let several students with excellent grades enter the laboratory in advance to study. "The teacher sent each person 5 all-English papers, the professional vocabulary of the whole article is very difficult, I get up early every day to study, I really can't understand it to find the teacher to discuss, a holiday time, read the theory, and made a small innovation under the guidance of the teacher, this technology won the second prize in the National Marine Vehicle Design and Production Competition." At that time, Runze did not know that these 5 difficult All England papers were the test given to the students by the teacher, and he was the most outstanding one, becoming the only student who entered the fluid-structure interaction technology laboratory and obtained the direct doctoral qualification.
"The road is long and dangerous, and I am not afraid of the difficult trek. Wind and rain are changeable, but I believe in chasing happiness. ”
This is a poem written by Xu Runze 6 years ago. In such a loving school, after he accepted the kindness, he also did his best to give back all the warmth.
