Preface
The "college entrance examination nail household" has finally compromised! More than ten years of persistence finally came to naught?
Do you still remember the very popular "college entrance examination nail household" before? That's right, it's Tang Shangjun from Guangxi! I still don't want to give up my dream of Tsinghua University and Peking University after 16 college entrance examinations, and I am now 35 years old and still taking the college entrance examination.
Recently, he also started a live broadcast on social media and bluntly said that his first choice is still Tsinghua University, but he is no longer obsessed with prestigious schools, and the whole person has become pragmatic.
So, what is the reason for this "college entrance examination nail household" to finally compromise?
Tang Shangjun revealed his heart in a recent live broadcast
On July 03, the Guangxi college entrance examination voluntary filling ended, and Tang Shangjun, the "college entrance examination nail household", also started a live broadcast on social media, saying that he had completed the college entrance examination voluntary filling, and most of the schools applied for the examination were normal colleges, but the first choice was still Tsinghua University, which was surprising!
In the live broadcast, a large number of netizens frantically swiped the score, but Tang Shangjun still did not disclose the score, saying that the admission results would not be announced until they came out.
At the same time, he also said that he himself did not release his scores to the outside world, claiming that the scores currently circulating on the Internet are speculation.
However, in the previous live broadcast, he couldn't help but reveal that the score was 600+, judging from the expression in the video, Tang Shangjun was actually quite satisfied with the score this time.
It is reported that in this volunteer application, Tang Shangjun's first choice is Tsinghua University, the second choice is Peking University, and the other volunteers are mainly normal colleges, with a score of 600+, it is not difficult to guess that other volunteers are top normal colleges such as Beijing Normal University and Central China Normal University.
Of course, the most critical news is that Tang Shangjun has said that he will not take the exam again next year, and all volunteers will obey the adjustment, hoping to go ashore as soon as possible. The "college entrance examination nail household" finally gave up repeating and compromised with reality.
It can be seen that today's Tang Shangjun has also begun to become pragmatic, and finally made up his mind to start the next period of life.
However, with the development of the times, the era of a lifelong examination has passed, even if you fail the college entrance examination, there are many other options in the future, such as college promotion, postgraduate entrance examination, public examination preparation, and even entrepreneurship.
But why is Tang Shangjun so obsessed with the college entrance examination, now he is 35 years old, giving up the most precious youth in his life to repeat over and over again, and has lost a lot of opportunities, so what is the reason?
Tang Shangjun, who fell into the "whirlpool" of the college entrance examination
In 2016, with the broadcast of the documentary "High Ten" directed by He Hanli, the name Tang Shangjun began to enter everyone's field of vision.
At that time, it was Tang Shangjun's eighth time to take the college entrance examination, and he was called the "college entrance examination nail household". But what people didn't expect was that in 2024, he would still be taking the college entrance examination.
We want to explore the reasons for his repetition, first of all, from his college entrance examination results. Since this year's scores have not been announced, only the results of the first 15 college entrance exams have been taken.
Through these scores, we can find that the reason why Tang Shangjun repeated his studies at the beginning was that his grades were really not satisfactory, only more than 300 points, not even three lines, let alone a good school.
However, as his scores improved significantly after repeating, he gradually became addicted to this method, hoping to go to a better school through his own efforts.
In 2013, he took advantage of the summer vacation to travel to Beijing, and happened to meet the military training of Tsinghua University freshmen, and had great expectations for it.
This also shows from the side that Tang Shangjun is not a genius, but a high score achieved through a lot of hard work, which is the same as us ordinary people.
In addition, the reason that prompted him to continue to study was also influenced by his family, this time it was a big joke played by fate.
In the eighth college entrance examination, Tang Shangjun broke through the 600-point mark for the first time, and it was also the year when "High Ten" was released, Tang Shangjun achieved the highest score in history of 625 and was successfully admitted to China University of Political Science and Law.
thought he would choose to go ashore, but his father was diagnosed with lung cancer, and it was terminal cancer, and the family simply did not have enough money for treatment, which made Tang Shangjun regret not going to school early, because he had been repeating his studies and delaying employment to make money.
Just before he went to register, he learned that a certain place was recruiting top repeat students, and students with a score of more than 600 in the college entrance examination could enjoy a one-time reward of 100,000 yuan and free tuition and accommodation fees. If you are admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University in the following year, you will be rewarded with a one-time reward of 600,000 yuan.
This information allowed him to find the straw for his father's illness, which was to repeat his studies and get money for treatment. In this way, Tang Shangjun continued to repeat the reading, and the first reading was many years.
Tang Shangjun revealed that the reason he did this was that if he did not choose to repeat his studies, then he might have worked for two or three years and had a stable income to take on the responsibilities of the family. But his father's chemotherapy was very expensive, and he couldn't afford this huge burden, which made him feel deeply guilty and helpless.
In addition, Tang Shangjun's desire for a prestigious school is also a reason that drives him to keep repeating. This desire became a kind of inner demon, constantly restraining him and trapping him in the college entrance examination.
Fortunately, Tang Shangjun has always had a close friend, that is, He Hanli, the director of "High Ten", who has always persuaded Tang Shangjun to go ashore as soon as possible.
He Hanli once said to Tang Shangjun: "The more gambling money you put in, the deeper you will fall." This explains why Tang Shangjun has been deeply involved in it ever since.
Because Tang Shangjun has invested more and more time, energy, and money in this area, from a school at the beginning, to a top university later, and even always wanted to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, he became more and more unable to extricate himself, and could only keep repeating to get high scores.
Therefore, if you want to save him, on the one hand, you must make him pragmatic, and on the other hand, you must let him achieve high results on his own, and only by having enough strength can he defeat the demons in his heart.
However, with the increase of age, the learning ability will inevitably decline, and at the same time, the college entrance examination is becoming more and more difficult.
Finally in 2024, that is, after Tang Shangjun's 16th college entrance examination, he has made it clear that he does not want to repeat it.
On the one hand, because he got a high score of 600+ this time, on the other hand, because he is 35 years old, and the increase in age has led to the deviation of life goals.
I'm 35 years old, and I don't know when I'll be admitted to Tsinghua University, even if I'll be able to get a job after graduating from Tsinghua University? What kind of work can you do? This is unrealistic and irrational. Tang Shangjun said.
Just like Tang Shangjun himself said in the live broadcast: "It is very unrecommended to repeat the college entrance examination." "Mental stability is a key factor, so you have to be pragmatic.
Tang Shangjun's story also reminds us that people can't always stagnate, and we must be pragmatic, after all, life choices are not only the college entrance examination, there are many more, there is no need to stop because of a failure, there are more possibilities in the future.
epilogue
So the story of "College Entrance Examination Nail Household" may come to an end this year, as an audience, we admire Tang Shangjun's efforts and persistence, but he also enlightened us a lot of life principles.
Although the controversy is very large, let's still wish Tang Shangjun can be admitted to the university of his choice, life has dreams, each is wonderful, live in the moment, and do your best!
