In July 2009, the college entrance examination marking work was in full swing.
At the marking site of the Chengdu Municipal Education Bureau, a teacher's exclamation broke the silence: "Oh my God, what is this?
I saw that the composition test paper in his hand was densely filled with strange symbols, and he couldn't understand it at all.
The marking team was discussing for a while: What is the situation, and where is the candidate?
After careful identification, the teachers found that this composition not only contained oracle bone inscriptions, but also a variety of ancient characters such as gold inscriptions and small seals.
The "talent" of this candidate is truly breathtaking.
But there is no archaeological text in the college entrance examination essay question! How to score such an essay?
In desperation, the marking team had no choice but to seek help from paleographers at Sichuan University.
After the experts worked hard overnight, the content of this "heavenly book"-like composition was finally revealed to the world.
However, after a while, everyone fell silent.
It turned out that this essay was not written in accordance with the exam questions at all, but was rambling and imaginative.
According to the grading criteria, such an essay can only get a pitiful 6 points!
Despite the rejection, the candidate's unique talent has attracted the attention of many colleges and universities, all of whom hope to include him in their ranks.
Huang Fly, a 19-year-old young man, has extraordinary ideals and ambitions.
Last year, as a senior at Mianyang Nanshan Middle School, he walked into the examination room with confidence, aiming to get an admission letter from the university of his choice.
However, the sky is unpredictable.
Maybe it was the nervousness before the exam, or maybe it was the abnormal performance, Huang Yan's grades passed by the ideal school, and the dream was shattered.
But Huang Fly is not someone who gives up easily.
He resolutely decided to repeat his studies for a year, vowing to make a comeback and prove his strength.
For a year, he immersed himself in hard study, forgot to sleep and eat, and wandered in the ocean of knowledge.
Gradually, he showed an astonishing talent for languages, especially paleographies.
Huang Yan's Chinese teacher, Liu Feng, was deeply impressed by this diligent and studious student.
He recalled: "One day after class, Huang Yan suddenly came to my office and asked me mysteriously if I could write the college entrance examination essay in ancient characters. ”
"I was really confused by his question, wondering if this kid had a brain in water? I've been teaching for so many years, and I've never encountered such a problem. "
It turned out that Huang Yan had an idea and wanted to use this unique "god operation" to stand out in the college entrance examination and attract the attention of the university.
He hopes to impress the teacher with his outstanding knowledge of ancient characters and win an exceptional chance of admission for himself after repeating.
Hard work pays off.
Huang Fly's "earth-shattering pen" really impressed Jincheng College of Sichuan University.
The university decided to give this "genius of ancient characters" a stage to show his strengths, and tailor-made a "twin training program" for him.
The so-called "twin students" refer to students who have special talents, good conduct, and great development potential in a certain field.
Jincheng University decided to make every effort to cultivate Huang Jie's paleographic expertise, not only opening a special course for him, but also hiring Professor He Kun, the top oracle bone inscription authority in China, as his tutor to provide one-on-one careful guidance.
Professor He is a leading figure in the field of paleography, who has studied oracle bone inscriptions for decades and has written many books.
He admired Huang Fly's talent, and also took a fancy to the young man's vigor and curiosity.
When the two first met, Professor He made a great wish to train Huang Fly to become a future leader in the study of Chinese paleography, and to take on the important task of cultural inheritance and innovation.
In this way, Huang Fly, as a "twin student", stepped into the coveted university campus.
Under the guidance of a famous teacher and in a good learning environment, what will happen to this former unsuccessful student? Will his talent for ancient writing shine?
However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.
The professional courses were boring and boring, far from the literary dream in his heart.
He gradually lost the motivation to study, and his study of paleographies was no longer as passionate as before.
On the contrary, Huang devoted a lot of time and energy to the study of literary theory.
It was as if he had entered another world, and he spent his days in the company of old papers, immersed himself in reading various literary works.
The library became his second home, and the classroom became a dispensable place.
Professor Ho was very concerned about the changes in the sandflies.
He talked to Huang Fly many times and persuaded him bitterly.
"The study of paleography is a systematic project, which requires a solid foundation in linguistics, history and archaeology. Your foundation is not stable now, you should learn the basics in a down-to-earth manner, and don't be too ambitious. "
However, Huang turned a deaf ear to his mentor's opinion.
In his eyes, Professor Ho represents old-fashioned and stale, and will only follow the rules step by step.
But Huang Yan insisted on his opinion, "Follow the old path, when will there be a new breakthrough?"
The philosophical differences between teachers and students are intensifying, and the contradictions are escalating.
In class, Huang Yan no longer listened to Professor He's teachings, but talked to himself, throwing out inexplicable questions.
After class, he no longer took the initiative to ask Professor He for advice as before, but went his own way and went his own way.
Professor Ho was disappointed, but still hoped that Huang would be able to return to his studies.
A year has passed, and the final results are in.
Huang Yan's transcript was like a basin of cold water, spilling out Professor He's last glimmer of hope: he failed several compulsory courses, and there was no hope of completing credits.
Completely disillusioned with Huang Fly's attitude, the well-educated man submitted his resignation to the school in a fit of rage, refusing to continue as his instructor.
On the occasion of farewell, Professor He tearfully said to Huang Yan: "I had high hopes for you, hoping that you would be my successor, but you disappointed me so much. "
Professor He's words were like a heavy hammer, smashing on Huang Fly's heart.
He froze in place, watching the back of his mentor leaving, and his heart was mixed.
He finally realized what a valuable learning opportunity he had missed and how many people's expectations he had disappointed.
Huang Yan's college career fell into confusion and difficulty.
Without the guidance of a famous teacher, he fell deeper and deeper in his studies.
The spirit and fighting spirit of the past are gone, replaced by hesitation and self-doubt.
He began to reflect on his attitudes and behaviors, and re-examine his life path.
Professor He's words, word by word, pointed directly to the key point of the sandfly.
He finally understood that success is never achieved overnight, it requires accumulated efforts and down-to-earth struggle.
Talent is important, but without the quality of hard work, no matter how high the talent is, it may be in vain.
Speaking of talent, we have to mention his experience when he was a child.
He was born in an ordinary working family, and his parents worked outside the home all the year round, so they had no time to take care of his studies and life.
Huang Fly, who was a loner and taciturn since childhood, learned to be self-reliant earlier than his peers.
When he was six years old, Huang Stud stumbled upon a worn-out Oracle Bone Dictionary at home.
This dictionary, which was collected by his father in his youth, has been dusted for many years and has long been forgotten in a corner.
Out of curiosity, Huang Yan secretly flipped through it.
Those mysterious symbols and quaint glyphs seem to take him through the time tunnel and back to the distant Shang and Zhou eras.
Since then, Huang Zhi has developed a strong interest in ancient characters.
He read the dictionary voraciously, trying to understand the meaning and evolution of each word.
With an astonishing memory and understanding, Huang Fly quickly memorized most of the oracle bone characters and was able to use them to write simple sentences.
However, this hobby did not receive the understanding and support of the family.
Parents believe that learning ancient characters is "not doing a proper job" and has nothing to do with further education and employment.
In their eyes, Huang should focus on schoolwork, strive to be admitted to university, and find a stable job in the future.
Even so, the sandfly's thirst for knowledge has never been extinguished.
He spent all his free time searching for materials on ancient characters in libraries and antique bookstores.
His schoolbag is always full of heavy reference books such as "Shuowen Jie Zi" and "Calligraphy Dictionary".
While the students were playing and playing, Huang Fly was immersed in copying oracle bone inscriptions and gold inscriptions.
So it's a pity that it's now in this situation.
Afterwards, Huang Yan's "god strategy" for the college entrance examination became a topic of conversation among the students after dinner.
Some people envy his maverick, and some people despise his unconventionality.
The story of Huang Fly also gives us a profound enlightenment: although we must have ideals, we must not be ambitious and in a hurry;
The basic knowledge and professionalism must be solid, otherwise it will be difficult to make a difference no matter how high the talent is.
I hope that all students can learn from the experience of Huang Fly, move forward firmly on the road of study, and live up to their youth!
