On the scorching sun, in this reinforced concrete jungle, Lin Wandong is like a tireless ant, carrying heavy bricks day after day. Sweat rolled down his forehead.
Who would have thought that this young man who was sweating on the construction site would stand out in the 2019 college entrance examination with an astonishing score of 713 and be admitted to Tsinghua University as an outstanding student. However, when his results were announced, in the face of reporters' interviews and questions during the college entrance examination, everyone remembered the "golden sentence" he said lightly - "Just these simple questions, you still want to stop me from working?"
Lin Wandong's words, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirred up layers of ripples. Those who considered themselves the elite of society began to scoff at his achievements: even if he was admitted to Tsinghua University, it would not be a big deal. In their eyes, it is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family, and Lin Wandong's future is destined to be bleak.
So, what happened to this controversial Lin Wandong? Can he break those doubts and create his own brilliance?
01, after the college entrance examination, the words are amazing.
Spring goes to autumn, time flies, and the day of the college entrance examination finally arrives as scheduled. Outside the examination room, there was a crowd of people, and countless parents of candidates gathered here with excitement and apprehension. Their eyes revealed anticipation and nervousness, as if every second was counting the time of the children in the examination room. Parents silently prayed outside the exam room for their children to get a good grade.
And those media reporters waited at the scene early, holding cameras and voice recorders, ready to capture the first college entrance examination candidate to walk out of the examination room. As time passed, the doors of the examination room slowly opened, and the candidates walked out one after another. As a candidate, Lin Wandong walked out of the examination room with light steps and a smile, as if he was full of confidence in his performance.
Reporters have come forward one after another, wanting to interview this confident college entrance examination student who walked out of the examination room: maybe there will be special insights and experiences. When Lin Wandong heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then showed a slightly mischievous smile.
Instead of talking about his nervousness or excitement like the other candidates, he replied in a light-hearted and humorous tone: "It's too simple to stop me from moving bricks." As soon as this sentence came out, the scene was in an uproar. Everyone was taken aback, they didn't expect this candidate to give such an unexpected answer.
The period after the college entrance examination is a time for many students to release stress and pursue relaxation. They are eager to escape from the shackles of books and experience the freedom and joy that they have not seen for a long time: going out, partying, and traveling have become their first choice, after all, the long hours of exam preparation and intense study make them eager to relax.
Lin Wandong is different. When he stepped out of the examination room, what he was thinking about was not how to have fun, but how to work and move bricks. This unusual idea surprised everyone present. As soon as these words came out, Lin Wandong turned around and left, disappearing into the crowd.
The reporter looked at his back, and couldn't help but be a little surprised by his confidence and uninhibitedness, and remembered to put this unique interview on the Internet, hoping to let more people understand the candidate's unique personality. However, Lin Wandong's extraordinary "answer" quickly caused dissatisfaction among many people.
Some people think that he is too arrogant and does not respect the important stage of life of the gaokao, while others think that he lacks humility and awe, after all, a truly talented person often does not show off his achievements too much, which is not worthy of praise.
And especially for his idea of moving bricks, many people think that Lin Wandong only has the life of moving bricks in his life, and a poor family is a poor family, and the children from such a family have a narrow vision and lack of lofty ambitions, and there is no good future. Comments began to emerge on the Internet, with various interpretations and criticisms of Lin Wandong's remarks.
And the reason why Lin Wandong has such remarks has his story and reasons behind it......
02, is it really difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son?
In the barren land of Yunnan, he is like a tenacious seed, tenaciously taking root and sprouting. His home is a family of six full of ups and downs and hardships, and the grandfather of the family is so old that his hands are so trembling that he can no longer lift heavy farm tools, and can only do some light housework at home.
My father, who used to be the pillar of the family, unfortunately fell while building a house, and his lumbar spine was severely injured and he could no longer walk normally. To add insult to injury, my father was later found to have a cerebral infarction, which undoubtedly cast another shadow on this already crumbling family.
The burden of the family fell on the shoulders of the mother alone. She gets up early every day and is greedy for darkness, moving bricks and sand on the construction site, and carrying the hope of this family with her thin body. Sweat soaked her clothes, mud covered her hands, but she never complained. She knows that she is the only pillar of this family, she must be strong, she must be brave.
In addition to Lin Wandong at home, he also has an older sister who is seeking knowledge on a distant university campus and a younger brother who is struggling for his dream on a high school campus. Although deep in the countryside, unlike other families, Lin Wandong's parents were never affected by the overall environment of the countryside, and they never favored sons over daughters.
In the world of the Lin family, whether it is Lin Wandong, or his sister and brother, they all enjoy the same care and expectations. Parents always encourage them to pursue their dreams and encourage them to change their destiny with knowledge. Therefore, Lin Wandong has had a spirit of not admitting defeat since he was a child, he knows that his family is poor, and only through his own efforts can he change his fate.
So, he spent all his time studying and helping his family: he got up at dawn every day and began to study hard in the morning glow. As long as he finished his schoolwork, he helped his mother to work hard in the fields, whether it was farm work in the fields or trivial household chores at home, he did his best and never complained.
Lin Wandong went all out in every test of results, his results were always among the best, and the honor of first place illuminated his way forward again and again. But he has never been complacent because of this, but more humble and hardworking, because he knows that all this is inseparable from his mother's silent dedication and selfless dedication.
Lin Wandong secretly vowed in his heart that he must be admitted to an excellent university, use the power of knowledge to change his fate, get ahead, and become the pride of his mother.
03. Move bricks on the construction site and welcome the admission notice of the university
He doesn't care what others say or ignore the eyes of the outside world, and he has only one thought in his heart: to make his mother easier. The family's financial situation is not optimistic, his parents have paid too much for him to study, and now it is time for him to give back to the family.
Lin Wandong found a job on the construction site, where the environment was difficult and the work was heavy, he moved bricks, transported materials, mixed cement, and was busy from morning to night every day. However, these hard work is nothing to him, as long as he can earn money, he feels that everything is worth it.
The reason why Lin Wandong did not hesitate to join the brick-moving team after the college entrance examination was because he had already silently estimated his score, and he was very confident with more than 700 points. He believes that he should be able to get good grades and go to college without any problem!
Although he has a lot of knowledge in his chest, Lin Wandong has never forgotten his studies while working the construction site. After finishing work, he used his spare time to review his homework and prepare for the rest of his university life.
In the days that followed, Lin Wandong waited for the release of the results while working part-time, and when the results of the college entrance examination were announced, he actually achieved a high score of 713 points, which not only satisfied him, but also made everyone who cared about him proud of him. July 4, 2019, this day was extremely exciting and joyful for Lin Wandong's family.
On this day, Lin Wandong's family received an admission letter from Tsinghua University, and behind this honor is Lin Wandong's countless days and nights of hard work and persistence, and it is a chapter of youth written by him with sweat and perseverance.
After learning the good news, Lin Wandong's family hurried to the construction site, wanting to tell him the happy news as soon as possible: "Wandong, you have been admitted to Tsinghua University, and you have received an admission letter from Tsinghua University."
The workers were very happy and excited when they learned that Lin Wandong had scored 713 points in the college entrance examination and was admitted to Tsinghua University. They all said that Lin Wandong was the pride of the construction site and their role model. The deeds of "Tsinghua students, moving bricks on the construction site" quickly spread on the construction site, and the media also came to interview after learning the news.
They wanted to know about Lin Wandong's intolerance as a student, and wanted to know about his upbringing, mental journey, and his work on the construction site.
Facing the lens of the media, Lin Wandong behaved very calmly and confidently. He told his story, shared his experience and insights, and did not shy away from sharing his family environment and his parents' support for his studies over the years. In the show, he gives people a deeper understanding of his inner world and growth trajectory.
Through media reports, Lin Wandong's deeds have received wider attention. But the response from all walks of life is clear.
04. Block bad remarks from the outside world, and finally realize your life ideals.
On the one hand, many people were moved by his inspirational story, blessed him one after another, and shared his deeds to spread the word, hoping to inspire more children and let those who are struggling see the future and hope.
However, on the other hand, there are also people who are cynical about Lin Wandong's story. They believe that Lin Wandong's family is poor, his parents are not educated, his family background and social status are at the bottom of the class, even if Lin Wandong is admitted to Tsinghua University, it will be difficult to get rid of the fate of poverty in the future, and the family will drag him to the bottom of the family.
These people even questioned that Lin Wandong would only study for exams, and when he arrived at university and society, his shortcomings in social skills and network resources would become bigger and bigger. They even directly said that they would wait and see Lin Wandong's future development to see if he could gain a foothold in society.
Although Lin Wandong comes from a poverty-stricken mountainous area, his hard work and fighting spirit are worthy of our learning and respect. The family did not pay too much attention to those irrelevant discussions, but focused more energy on supporting Lin Wandong's future planning.
The four years of college are fleeting, and Lin Wandong has not only accumulated a wealth of knowledge during this period, but also exercised his ability and quality. Becoming a civil servant is a dream career for many people, and after graduating from university, he successfully entered the civil service of Yunnan Province and became an enviable civil servant, which proved his ability and strength from one side.
As a top student, he has a degree from Tsinghua University, which is enough for him to find a high-paying and decent job in a big city, or choose to continue his studies and pursue higher academic achievements.
However, Lin Wandong's deep affection for his hometown and the countryside made him choose to give up the prosperity and comfort of the big city, return to the countryside, and use his knowledge and ability to improve the living conditions in the countryside and promote the economic and social development of the countryside.
At the same time, in his heart, no matter how much he has achieved outside, the companionship and support of his family is always the most valuable. Therefore, he also wants to return to Yunnan, be by his mother's side, and fulfill his responsibilities and obligations as a son.
Epilogue:
Lin Wandong's choice deserves our respect and admiration. His down-to-earth, pragmatic and enterprising spirit will undoubtedly lay a solid foundation for his future work and life. He used his actions to explain what real responsibility and responsibility are.
He shows us that a person's life does not necessarily have to pursue fame, fortune and status, but more importantly, it is more important to find what he is really passionate about and good at, and put in the effort and sweat for it.
We believe that in the future, Lin Wandong will definitely use what he has learned to contribute more to the development of his hometown. His story will also inspire more people to pay attention to their hometown, give back to society, and use their actions to create a better future.
