The saying that "it is difficult for children from poor families to get ahead" was once widely circulated in society. However, an incident in 2017 completely turned this notion on its head. That year, a teenager scored a staggering 744 points and was admitted to Tsinghua University, one of China's top universities. The news shocked people and is a poignant reminder that children from poor families can just as much rise in the face of adversity and achieve great things.
Growing up in a poor family, his mother was paralyzed and his father was crazy, and his family was surrounded by four walls, which is the family background of Pang Zhongwang.
However, with his tenacious efforts and outstanding talent, Pang Zhongwang became a real humble student.
His achievements were jaw-dropping, and even shocked when the president of Tsinghua University visited in person.
Pang Zhongwang's history of struggle profoundly explains:
As long as you have dreams and perseverance, any adversity can be overcome.
He never felt that his family was a burden to him, on the contrary, he thought that he had a happy family, as if he was living in a honeypot. These words came out of Pang Zhongwang's mouth and warmed the hearts of every listener. The audience couldn't help but be moved by his life experience. However, Pang Zhongwang believes that his family is only slightly inferior in some aspects, and he does not feel that he is lacking in other aspects, and he knows his mother's hard work for him.
In 1999, Pang Zhongwang was born in a rural village in Cangzhou City, Hebei Province. Full of expectations, his family named him "Zhongwang", pinning high hopes on him. However, the starting point of Pangzhong's expectations was unusually low.
Both parents fell ill and the family struggled and could barely make ends meet with their elderly grandparents. Mother Pang Zhiqin was paralyzed by her lower limbs, and Pang Zhongwang began to take care of her mother since she was a child.
When he was young, he couldn't even reach the stove, but he had already stood on tiptoe to chop potatoes on the stool. Sweeping the floor, boiling water, tidying up the room, and even taking care of the mother's daily life, washing, convenient, washing the bedpan...... These trivial matters were all shouldered silently by the young Pang Zhongwang with his immature shoulders.
Perhaps when he was young, Pang Zhongwang had witnessed other children enjoying a carefree childhood, and perhaps he had questioned fate in his heart, wondering why all this was arranged this way.
However, even when he complained, he never had enough time to indulge in it. In addition to going to school and completing his schoolwork, he squeezed out every little energy he had left to devote himself to household chores and taking care of his parents.
This kind of daily chores not only exhausted Pang Zhongwang's physical strength, causing him to be stunted and emaciated, but also tempered his will, making his heart extremely firm and extremely strong.
Pang Zhongwang's mother was a pillar and role model in his life, and despite her physical disability, her influence on Pang Zhongwang was profound and long-lasting. Although my mother was not well educated, she had great dreams and always hoped that Pang Zhongwang could surpass herself and become a person who contributed to society. Her tolerant and open-minded attitude deeply infected Pang Zhongwang and made him understand the true meaning of life since he was a child.
Under the care of his mother, Pang Zhongwang was not destroyed by adversity, but gradually showed extraordinary talent with his own hard work and tenacity. When he was in sixth grade, Pang Zhongwang worked hard to pick up waste and supported the family with his slender shoulders. Even so, he did not neglect his studies, came out on top in various exams, and the awards on the walls of his home were all over the wall.
In the middle school entrance exam, he was successfully admitted to Wuqiao Middle School and performed well. In high school, despite his family's poverty, he still achieved outstanding academic results with his own efforts and became the academic leader of the whole school.
The results of the 2017 college entrance examination are jaw-dropping, Pang Zhongwang topped the science list in Hebei Province with extraordinary results, but what is even more amazing is that he won the admission notice of the Department of Precision Instruments of Tsinghua University with an astonishing high score of 744 points, becoming the pride of Hebei Province and a shining Tsinghua student.
In the days of waiting for the admission letter, Pang Zhongwang still silently took on the responsibility of taking care of his mother, pushed her out to bask in the sun, and then was busy with trivial things in life alone. That summer seemed to be extraordinarily long, and while most people were still anxiously waiting for the notice, Pang Zhongwang received a call from Tsinghua University early, announcing his brilliant future path.
When he heard the good news, Pang Zhongwang was almost in disbelief. The mother was so excited that she couldn't speak, and when the president of Tsinghua University stepped into the village, the environment in front of her made people feel a little uncomfortable. However, after seeing Pang Zhongwang at a glance, the principal immediately realized that he was a rare talent. The moment the admission letter was handed over to Pang Zhongwang, his fate was truly reversed.
With the media reports, the story of Pang Zhongwang's family is well-known to everyone. Many netizens were deeply touched by this touching story and expressed their willingness to donate to Pang Zhongwang, but he resolutely refused all donations. "Everyone earns money through hard work, we can make a living with our own hands, why should we rely on others?" a reporter interviewed him and asked, "Did you ever feel inferior because of your family background?"
Pang Zhongwang took a deep breath and replied with his usual humor: "For me, every member of my family is impeccable. My mom is the best in the world, and so are my grandparents. My family is something to be proud of, and on the contrary, they should envy me. ”
After four years of hard study, Pang Zhongwang finally graduated from Tsinghua University in 2021. After obtaining the qualification to pursue a doctorate directly after graduation, he decided to continue his studies. In addition to his academic achievements, Pang Zhongwang also found a precious love during this time.
It is rumored that they were classmates in high school, and they have silently admired each other for many years, and now they get along. Pang Zhongwang is studying for a doctorate, while his girlfriend is studying for a master's degree, and the future of the two is full of hope and beauty.
He never complained about life because he always took every day seriously. He firmly believes that the future can be chosen, and although it is not up to him to decide his origin, the direction of his life depends on his own choices. Exploring the wider world is an ideal for him, and it is his dream to become a person who is useful to society.
There are always many legendary stories of "noble sons from poor families" in history. However, those who have endured hardships and eventually succeeded are mostly sad and painful when they recall their struggles.
Only Pang Zhongwang can regard the past as a kind of happiness. Yes, he has a loving family and sincere and pure love, which is the most precious treasure in his life. Do you agree?
