Before school starts, be sure to let the children see the story of this humble student who rewrites history

The lively summer vacation is fleeting, and the campuses of major museums and universities are gradually unable to hear the chatter of children studying abroad.

During the holidays, my father and I took the rice grain to Tokyo, brushed Harry Potter and Disneyland, met my curly girlfriend, and then at the door of the United Nations University headquarters, Rice grain had a friendly exchange with my girlfriend on the topic of "going to Peking University or going to Tokyo University".

Originally, my girlfriend was ready to share my worries and roll a roll of rice, but I didn't expect that even the roll king couldn't roll me...

The mentality of the rice grain is very stable, but the mentality of the old mother is a little lost.

School is about to start, so the Buddha is repaid?

I still have to have some inspirational stories to lift the children's spirits.

A few days ago, Peking University ushered in a very special new student.

His name is Mummy Yore, a young man of the Yi ethnic group, living in Ganluo County, Daliangshan, Sichuan.

Mummy Yore never imagined that at the age of 18, his name would be written in the prefectural history.

In this year's college entrance examination, Mummy Yore passed the selection of the "National Special Program" with a score of 681 points and was admitted to the engineering experimental class of Peking University.

He became the first student in the history of his hometown Ganluo County to be admitted to the "Qingbei", which caused a sensation in the entire Liangshan Prefecture.

In his hometown, to achieve such achievements, I am afraid that the hard work can not be simply brought with a sentence or two.

As a poor family in Daliangshan, the first thing he did from elementary school was to endure.

When I was a child, the conditions at home were not good, and when I was the poorest, I couldn't even afford to buy the most ordinary bag of milk powder. When Mummy was crying with hunger, his mother could only get some corn paste to feed him.

▲ The Mummy Yore family

The children of the poor were early heads of household, and when they were about seven years old, their mother would take Mummy Jore and her brother to the fields to do farm work and take care of the family's livestock.

In their memory, the most common childhood scene was chased by a pig, and then the brothers ran and cried.

Later, Mummy went to school.

After experiencing the hardships of life, he found that "learning is actually the easiest thing." ”

Afraid of being chased by pigs, he firmly seized the hard-won opportunity to study.

Since then, diligence has been a trait throughout his studies.

After arriving at high school in the prefecture, the pressure on Mummy Yore became even greater.

He often took the first place in elementary school and junior high school, and suddenly felt a huge difference. He had seen that students from Chengdu No. 7 Middle School were discussing social topics in full English, and he couldn't even understand the words when he was just starting out in junior high school.

High school Chinese reading comprehension requires high vocabulary for students, which is very stressful for him who is still learning pinyin in junior high school.

This is also the dilemma of many county children, when children in big cities are talking about equestrianism, artificial intelligence, and studying abroad, most county middle school children choose to drop out of school to work because they can't afford the difficulty of schoolwork and are afraid of wasting time.

At this time, Mummy Joge's brother told him: "Don't be satisfied, you want to see the outside world." ”

Humble, making up for it with diligence, is the best way he can think of.

So, every morning at 4 a.m., Mummy would stand punctually under the street lamp and recite English.

When other students took a nap break, he was reading; When other students were discussing mobile games, he was working on problems.

The teachers who taught him praised, "The self-discipline and resilience in him are extremely strong." ”

Finally, the effort paid off.

In this year's college entrance examination, with a total score of 681 points, he was admitted to the engineering experimental class of Peking University through the "National Special Program", and also created the history of locally trained students admitted to the "Qingbei" since the establishment of Ganluo County.

In recent years, "it is difficult to get out of the cold", so the argument that "reading is useless" has become very popular, "The shortcut between the world, is it opened for the cold?" Even in "Chang'an 30,000 Li", the "rules of the game" in this world have long been said.

But is that really the case?

This argument is undoubtedly the most cruel deception of ordinary children who are not deeply involved in the world.

Compared to those who were born in Rome, students who are humble have more chances of survival if they continue to work hard.

For ordinary people, if there is really a shortcut to the road of life, it must be to study hard.

There was a teenager who was very similar to Mumi's situation, who was busy moving bricks at the construction site when he received the acceptance notice from Tsinghua University.

At that time, he had an interview that was particularly out of the loop.

After the college entrance examination, Lin Wandong was the first to rush out of the examination room, and when the reporter interviewed him, he said a very "arrogant" sentence: "On this question, you still want to stop me from working at the construction site?" ”

As soon as the interview aired, many people laughed at him for being "arrogant." "You know it's a bastard at a glance."

But when the college entrance examination results came out, people understood that what this young man said was true: first, he won the city's science title with a super high score of 713, and second, he did go to work on the construction site after the college entrance examination.

From a poor family, his father was seriously ill and his mother was a migrant worker. In addition to studying, he also had to go to the fields to do farm work, feed pigs, cook rice, and take care of his seriously ill father and grandfather.

When others come home early from school, he has to walk 15 kilometers back and forth every day because of the long distance from school, because he is busy with housework, he often does not even have time to do homework, let alone attend any cram school.

The road is far away, in order not to waste time, Lin Wandong stipulates that he memorizes words and texts while walking on the way to and from school, he copies the knowledge points on the card in advance, accumulating a thick pile, and takes it out from time to time on the road to strengthen his memory.

In order to save money and time, Lin Wandong never eats in the cafeteria, he brings a box of white rice every day, at most some pickles, finds a no-one corner to swallow, and then returns to the classroom to continue brushing questions.

He wrote in his diary: "Only by persevering in self-improvement can there be infinite possibilities in the future." ”

On June 9, 2019, Lin Wandong finished the last exam in the college entrance examination room, and immediately picked up his backpack and followed his mother to the construction site to work.

A month later, the college entrance examination results were announced, and Lin Wandong scored 713 points, ranking first in the city, and was admitted to the automation department of Tsinghua University.

When Tsinghua's admission notice arrived after more than 2,300 kilometers, the head teacher found that Lin Wandong could not be contacted at all, and after several twists and turns, he found it on a construction site. At this time, Lin Wandong was still struggling to carry the sand, and his hand had long been worn and oozed blood.

After Lin Wandong's deeds were reported, he became a model for many students to learn and was called "the most inspirational candidate in 2019".

Not only that, when he entered Tsinghua to report, the president of Tsinghua University praised him by name in front of 3,800 freshmen at the welcome party for new students, and the president personally issued him a 20,000 yuan stipend.

Today, he has successfully graduated, returned to his hometown, and has become a civil servant rooted in the grassroots.

Perhaps in the universal values, Lin Wandong's choice to become a "noble son" in the secular sense, but he said that it was reading that gave him a different way of thinking, and in his own life planning, this is the most meaningful and most suitable choice for himself.

In fact, this is indeed the case, for ordinary children, studying hard can have the opportunity to stand on a higher step and see more scenery, so that they may find their own choice.

Otherwise, you can only stay in place, passively praying for the gift of fate, or bearing the blow of reality.

In this matter, Rice Mother can also be regarded as being able to show up and say.

My dad (Grandpa Migrain), who came out of the country's poorest mountains and struggled all the way from the provincial capital to Beijing, became a visiting professor at the country's top university, the founder of a technology company, and also changed the fate of the whole family.

Grandpa Mi was born in the most barren mountainous area in Hubei, how poor is his family? Before Grandpa Migrain went to college, he had not eaten a full meal (severely malnourished, less than one meter six when he went to college), did not wear a new dress, did not wear a new pair of shoes, drank half a bowl of gruel on the day of the college entrance examination (so he was hungry), and climbed over three mountains to participate in the college entrance examination.

Grandpa Migrain finished his second year of high school and went home to farm for a few years; In 1977, when the country resumed the college entrance examination, he put down his hoe, picked up his books, and signed up for the first college entrance examination. This is his only chance to change his destiny.

Their rural high school teachers, who never went to college, said they were "toads that want to eat swan meat." Instead of helping them review for the college entrance examination and teaching them "common words in rural areas", the goal is to become a "bookkeeper" in the village, with the advantage of being able to rest for an hour every day while others are working and keep work points.

Class was really a waste of time, so Grandpa Mi and three other rural boys who wanted to go to university skipped class and went to the back mountain to review, explain to each other, and discuss with each other, but I didn't expect that that year, many questions in the college entrance examination were example questions in books.

When studying in the summer, I use a large bucket full of cold well water and soak my legs in the bucket for a long time, so that it is cool and not afraid of mosquito bites.

Approaching the college entrance examination, several of them "took root" in the dim and dilapidated classroom, and did not go out except to go to the toilet. When hungry, eat a bite of dry food, and when sleepy, lie on the table for a while, and then continue to study. This went on for two months.

Finally, he was admitted to the best university in Wuhan.

In the crowd who sent him to college, those young people who were assigned to the village in Wuhan saw him as a rural boy who was admitted to Wuhan, and they did not know how many years they would have to stay in the countryside, or even for a lifetime, and tears snapped and wet their hoes.

In college, he went from being the worst student in his class to becoming the top few in his class. English, from not knowing ABC (not taking the college entrance examination at that time), to being able to understand Voice of America (VOA broadcasting, Voice of America). Even the short man, caused by severe malnutrition, grew ten centimeters in college.

Unexpectedly, after graduating from college, he was assigned a job, because rural children did not understand human feelings, did not give gifts to the person assigned to the job, and was assigned to work as a technician in a large ravine poorer than his hometown.

So, he wanted to go to graduate school! I want to change my fate again.

The unit leader wanted to retain talents, and was extremely reluctant to let him enter graduate school (at that time, the entrance examination must be approved by the leader). The leader deliberately left the exam for a month and a half before approving him, requiring him to take the interprofessional postgraduate examination (much more difficult), and he was not allowed to take the Wuhan University and Chinese Gong in Hubei, and he must be admitted to the top universities in Beijing, and it was a major that only recruited 2 people in the country!

Oh yes, and ah, you are only allowed to take the exam once in your life, if you can't pass the test, don't think about it again, work in the ravine for a lifetime!

With such a great difficulty, the average person has long given up. But Grandpa Mi rekindled his fighting spirit, studying and researching day and night, but he didn't expect the real exam! Above! Finish! (The leader probably has never seen such a top student)

Before graduating from graduate school, he begged his mentor to help him find a place to stay in Beijing. He joined the party as a graduate student, worked for seven or eight years, became a senior engineer, a master's supervisor, a director of the research office, and a leader of hundreds of people, many of whom were ten or twenty years older than him, and it can be said that the future is promising.

Because of his struggle, since I can remember, my family has lived in two bedrooms and one living room, how rare it was in those days!

Therefore, I can also be said to be a witness of "reading changes destiny", and I have always agreed with this view.

Even if they do not succeed in the secular sense after graduation, they see a different world, have a different vision, and see different people.

At least, they will not exchange manual labor for money, as their ancestors did.

Reading is never useless, knowledge does not necessarily change destiny, but without knowledge, it must not change destiny.

It's not scary to come from a cold background, it's scary to be at the bottom and stagnate, willing to accept your fate! If you don't suffer a little now, you won't be able to taste sweet in the future.

Reading is still the most convenient and even the only way for them to jump out of the cold, and the fairest path.

Even if a cold student can only reach the starting point of others throughout his life, he can create a good starting point for his next generation, so that from generation to generation, it is possible to rewrite destiny.
