Failed in the middle school entrance examination, from chef to self-examination for junior college undergraduate, World War II postgraduate examination, World War IV examination to become a university teacher... Recently, 42-year-old Han Lei used a short video to tell his path to study, which inspired many netizens, and everyone jokingly said: "A cook who does not want to take the doctoral exam is not a good teacher."

"I can be slower than you
But it is not allowed not to work hard"
Han Lei was born in an ordinary family, and in 1997, he failed the high school entrance examination and applied for the then Tianjin Culinary Technology School at the suggestion of his father. What Han Lei didn't expect was that about one-third of the students in the class had studied cooking before.
In Han Lei's heart, it was a pity that he didn't learn the culture class well, but if he didn't learn the craft well, his face would be a little hung up. Cutting piers, stir-frying, carving... In any link, Han Lei is strict with himself. Han Lei said: "I can be slower than you, but I am not allowed not to work hard. ”
When he was about to graduate from secondary school, Han Lei found a hotel where he practiced. If he had stayed at the time, his income would have been good. But one day, a teacher's class changed the trajectory of Han Lei's later life.
Han Lei: Our teacher who teaches banquet design and dish making is Yu Tie, a national special chef. He came up to the first class and picked up chalk and wrote vertically from right to left, and the chalk characters were still traditional, and he was too impressed.
At that time, Han Lei suddenly realized that learning to cook must be literate, so he decided to apply for a college class in cooking. When the junior college class was about to graduate, Han Lei had been successfully assigned to a five-star hotel in Tianjin for internship. "The chef usually communicates with the head chef in English, which touches me a lot, and it is good to learn some English if I want to have a broader future in the future."
Coincidentally, at that time, Han Lei saw in the newspaper the entrance brochure for the self-examination of the business English major of Tianjin Business College. So, he decided to apply. In four years, learning English, Han Lei used nearly 20 Walkmen. In order to practice pronunciation, he listened to the movie "Forrest Gump" recommended by the teacher at least 80 times, and the four volumes of "New Concept English" were also memorized backwards.
In 2004, Han Lei passed the English Level 4 exam with excellent results, and he felt the joy of success for the first time. So he continued his efforts, completed all the courses of English self-examination college and undergraduate, and obtained his graduation certificate a year in advance. During this period, Han Lei did not rest for a single winter and summer vacation, the only time to rest was his parents' birthday and New Year's Day, and he studied in the study room the rest of the time.

"The more I read the book, the more I read
I feel like I know less and less."
After opening up the "two veins of Ren Du" of learning, Han Lei decided to continue studying. Han Lei said: "The more I read the book, the less I feel like I know. Only when you know the method can the road get wider and wider. ”
Next, Han Lei took two postgraduate examinations and four years of doctoral examinations, and each exam was a spiral for Han Lei, "There is a book called "Principles of Marxist Philosophy", which mentions spiraling up and moving forward in waves. It dawned on me that the spiral seemed to go back to the past, but it was going upward. ”
Today, Han Lei, who graduated with a doctorate, teaches at the Sino-German University of Vocational and Applied Sciences in Tianjin. With seven diplomas, he finally understood the meaning of the phrase "the harder you work, the luckier you are."
For Han Lei, the most important mentor in his life was his father. After 17 years of hard study, the family's economic pressure, and the strange vision of ordinary people, the father silently insisted on it behind his son's back.
Han Lei's father Han Yuqi: A hundred years of cultivating people, (cultivation) how to have a year. We have a late dry method. If he teaches many people, contributes more, and reminds one or two people, we will be satisfied.

"Teach by example
Convey the power of effort to students"
After becoming popular on the Internet, there are students who failed the postgraduate examination, and parents who have difficulty communicating with their children, they have become fans of Teacher Han, and everyone in private messages about their studies and life is confused, Han Lei replied one by one, hoping to help them regain confidence and find their direction as much as possible.
Today's Han Lei has become a lucky one in the eyes of the students. He often used his cooking skills to help students understand esoteric philosophical principles, often figuring patriotism into a song, a person. With his words and deeds, he told the true meaning of "ideology and politics" and influenced everyone around him.
Han Lei said that nowadays, teaching by word and deed, taking every class well, and cultivating students well is their biggest goal, "Let them finish this class, and even in the future, be a person and do things and do learning, let's write that one by one correctly, work hard until you can't do anything, take hard work as a habit, I just pass on this power." ”
