In the past two days, 4.38 million candidates have registered for the 2024 postgraduate examination.
Among these people, there are not only senior college students, but also many young people with dreams of struggle. Zhang Kai, a security guard at Zhejiang University, is one of the 150,000 graduate school entrance exams in the province.
Zhang Kai of Zhejiang University, born in 1991, a native of Henan, once worked in a local private enterprise and worked as an assistant to the general manager. Last year, with the dream of being admitted to Zhejiang University as a graduate student, Zhang Kai joined Zhejiang University and took the postgraduate examination while working.
Zhang Kai, a lover of literature, used to be on duty at the south gate of Zhejiang University, and he said that this gate is of great significance in his mind. He not only has to guard this door, but also hopes that through his own efforts, he will really enter the door from outside the door and be admitted to Zhejiang University through his own efforts.
At the south gate of Zhejiang University, I met Zhang Kai.
The colleagues around me spoke highly of Zhang Kailai: he was very motivated and ambitious, and he often read books in his spare time, and he wanted to take the postgraduate examination of Zhejiang University.
In the main library of Zhejiang University, which I often went to before the graduate school entrance examination, I found a place, sat down with Zhang Kai, and listened to him tell the story of the postgraduate entrance examination to Zhejiang University.
From struggle and motivation to fall in love with Zhejiang University
The graduate school entrance examination is my own plan. Maybe to others, I'm a little whimsical, but I've always stuck to my ideas.
At that time, there was a sensational news that there was a university security guard who had been admitted to graduate school, and this news was also very encouraging to me. My grades were not very good, I majored in computer science, and then because I was more interested in literature, I took the college entrance examination for Chinese language and literature and a bachelor's degree in Chinese language and literature from Henan University. I think what others can do, I'm sure I can do. I hope to be admitted to graduate school and break through the bottleneck of my writing.
My mom and dad work in Hangzhou. When I came to see my parents, I came to visit Zhejiang University.
Hangzhou is a very good city, and when I came to Hangzhou, I fell in love with the city. By chance, I chose to interview and became a security guard at Zhejiang University.
I am more in awe and unfamiliar with Zhejiang University, and I don't have any advantages in academic qualifications and age. At that time, I felt that my work was more difficult, and I thought that the heavens would descend on the people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones. In addition, it is very important that I can also seriously resume my graduate studies at Zhejiang University while working Xi
After coming in, I learned more about Zhejiang University. Before, it was just an abstract name for Zhejiang University, but later I had an understanding of the school's culture, people and things, and I gradually fell in love with Zhejiang University.
At Zhejiang University, I feel very happy
Working at Zhejiang University has greatly promoted my postgraduate entrance examination. I've worked on guards, patrols, 110 shifts, and so on.
In fact, I can enjoy all the academic and Xi environments that Zhejiang students can enjoy, such as borrowing books from the library, listening to lectures, going to the playground and running laps, etc. I feel very happy about this, which I can't enjoy in a position in society.
We take turns off, and I always find time to Xi outside of work. The school security office is also quite supportive of my graduate school entrance examination, such as being on duty after 12 o'clock in the evening, there is nothing to do, and I can be allowed to read the book.
Outside of work, I find time to Xi. Generally, the first round of Xi in the morning is English. In my spare time, I often go to the library Xi.
This is the second time I've taken the graduate exams. Last year, because of poor health, I only took two courses.
This year, I mainly did two rounds of Xi on my major courses and politics. English is still my weak point, and my vocabulary is not enough. Hopefully this year's results will be even better.
The teachers in the security department of Zhejiang University all knew that I was going to graduate school, and they were quite supportive of me, and as a person who had come over, they gave me a lot of guidance on how to learn Xi. Some teachers, and some teachers would come to me to discuss current affairs together, which was helpful for me to go to graduate school. Some teachers would even pull me to play ball and relax.
The postgraduate entrance examination is another goal that I strive for in addition to my work and life at Zhejiang University, and I continue to work hard for this goal every day. At the beginning, I set myself the goal of three years, and I had to give myself an explanation. I'm still working hard and I'm not going to lower my goals.
A teacher from the security department of Zhejiang University said that Zhang Kai has always maintained a sense of aggressiveness, hard work and tenacity, and he has worked very hard to prepare for postgraduate entrance examinations after work. "Sometimes we persuade him to relax, but he always smiles and Xi. ”
Walking from the outside of the door to the inside of the door, I felt very sacred
I majored in literature, so I have a lot of practical experience, and I like writing very much. In the future, I would like to engage in literary creation. I hope that through the postgraduate entrance examination, I will open up my future bottleneck in writing.
I also pay great attention to accumulating materials for writing, and when I work, I pay great attention to accumulating relevant materials and writing down my own experiences.
Last year, I changed the guard and moved to Namdaemun. I wrote a text. I have a lot of affection for Nandaemun, we all watched "Journey to the West" when we were children and knew Nantianmen. The meaning of the south gate of Zhejiang University is really of great significance to me, the two questions of the old president Zhu Kezhen are also engraved on the door, there are two worlds inside and outside the door, I guard this door myself, one day I through my own efforts, from the door to the door, I think it is a particularly sacred thing, I want to become a Zhejiang University student.
But there are also doubts from people around me, which also brings me psychological pressure. When I was particularly uncomfortable, I would look at the wall at the south gate of Zhejiang University, look at the words of the old president Zhu Kezhen, and tell myself in my heart what the purpose of work is and what I want to do after that. Motivate yourself in this way, keep working hard to get into graduate school, and strive to walk in the door as soon as possible.
Everyone's position is different, and everyone's pursuit is different. Last year I was on duty here and wrote a letter home. I set myself three levels. The first year was to go to Zhejiang University. The second year was a visit to Zhejiang University. The third year is to enter Zhejiang University. This is a metamorphosis, and I hope to become a student at Zhejiang University in three years.
I don't think I'm too smart, but I'm going to work hard.
This year, I have a lot of free time, so I have been studying for more than six hours Xi a day this year. There is a laboratory next to my office, and I see that the lights in the laboratory are always on, and I see that my classmates are always doing experiments in it, even in the dead of night. I often see that in the corridors of the teaching building and in the library, many Zhejiang students are seriously resuming Xi in the early morning, and I am very encouraged by these struggling students.
These classmates are my role models, because they were admitted to Zhejiang University before me. Their traits of struggle are very much worth learning from Xi.
During the interview, some security guards knew that Zhang Kai was working hard to get into graduate school, and many masters gave this young man a thumbs up. "It's ambitious, it's hard-working, it's really good. ”
At the end of the interview, Zhang Kai said that no matter how well he got in the exam, he would continue to work hard based on his own work. The postgraduate entrance examination is just one stop on the road of life, more tests are still ahead, and he will continue to work hard to reach the distance of his dreams.
