In 2006, Jiang Duoduo, a girl from Henan, used 8,000 words to criticize the college entrance examination system in the college entrance examination room, which later aroused widespread concern in the society.
She became the focus of heated discussions in the media with a score of 0 in the comprehensive text, and this rebellious move not only ruined her college dream with her own hands, but also changed her fate, and even brought a huge impact on her family.
Jiang Duoduo's behavior is a question of the college entrance examination system, and it is also a portrayal of a young girl's impulsiveness between ideals and reality.
A girl from a poor background
In 1988, Jiang Duoduo was born in an ordinary rural family in Nanyang City, Henan Province, and his parents were authentic farmers.
Jiang Duoduo's father, Jiang Dahai, is an insurance salesman who travels all year round to earn tuition and living expenses for his children, while his mother Li Xiuying works hard at home and takes care of her three children on weekdays.
Jiang Duoduo has an older sister and a younger brother below, and the family conditions are limited, but his parents firmly believe that only through education can the children get out of poverty and live a better life.
Therefore, the parents put all their efforts into the education of their children, and despite the difficult life, they never had a word of complaint, and there was only one belief in their hearts, that their children must be admitted to university and go out of the countryside.
In the eighties and nineties, it was rare for a pair of parents to have such thoughts and behaviors, and Jiang Duoduo could be regarded as meeting a pair of good parents.
She has been smart and clever since she was a child, and her academic performance has always been among the best, and she was the first in the class in every exam in primary school, and she has won many awards in various competitions in the county and city, and the walls of her home are covered with awards, which have become the greatest pride of her parents.
Every time Jiang Duoduo comes home from school, he will take the initiative to help his mother work, whether it is laundry and cooking, or taking care of his younger brother, he can do it in an orderly manner.
The people in the village also said that Jiang Duoduo was a good boy and would definitely have a future in the future, and whenever he heard these words, his parents always showed a proud smile on their faces.
After entering junior high school, Jiang Duoduo still maintained excellent grades, her middle school is a key middle school in the county, and the competition is also very fierce, Jiang Duoduo can always be among the best.
The teachers spoke highly of her, not only smart but also hardworking, a rare good seedling.
Jiang Duoduo has been a member of the class for three years in junior high school, with excellent academic performance, actively participating in various extracurricular activities, liking reading and writing, and his composition has won many awards in the school's composition competition, and he has also won the first prize in the city's competition.
Under normal circumstances, such an excellent student must have a bright future, but this is not the case. We all know that the three years of high school are much more difficult than the three years of junior high school, not only the academic pressure is high, but the subjects studied will also increase a lot.
In junior high school, we can rely on hard work, by squeezing time, and slowly improve our grades, but high school tests not only a person's diligence, but also his own talent, or intelligence.
After entering high school, Jiang Duoduo's life has changed dramatically, and the learning pressure in high school is much greater than that in junior high school.
In order to cope with the upcoming college entrance examination, the school created a tense atmosphere for exam preparation early, and attending classes, doing questions, and exams every day became all the content of Jiang Duoduo's life.
At first, Jiang Duoduo was able to barely adapt, but as time went on, he began to feel more and more tired and depressed.
To put it simply, she is the kind of person who improves her grades by squeezing time, but there is not much time to squeeze in high school, so her grades are naturally not as good as those who are talented.
In order to relieve the pressure, Jiang Duoduo began to write a diary, recorded his mood and feelings, and slowly found that writing has become his greatest pleasure and way to release pressure.
Later, she began to try her hand at writing short stories and writing short stories in her spare time. When Jiang Duoduo came home from vacation, he showed his sister the novel he had written, and her sister was very surprised after reading it, feeling that her writing level had surpassed that of many adults.
My sister also suggested that she submit the novel to the magazine, and Jiang Duoduo sent the novel with the mentality of trying it out, but she didn't expect her novel to really be published in a magazine.
Jiang Duoduo was thrilled by this success, and he began to feel that he had found a real interest, believing that writing was more meaningful than learning textbook knowledge, and that it was better to express his thoughts and feelings.
At school, Jiang Duoduo was also sought after by her classmates because of her novel creation, and her works were widely circulated in the class, and whenever someone praised her writing talent, Jiang Duoduo's heart was full of pride.
Decisions made before the college entrance examination
Perhaps it was from this time that she felt that her future did not have to be realized through the college entrance examination, and that writing was her real dream.
Since then, I have devoted more time and energy to writing, and even conceived the plot and characters of the novel in my head during class.
Jiang Duoduo's enthusiasm for writing naturally attracted the attention of teachers, and the head teacher talked to her many times, trying to make her understand the importance of the college entrance examination, hoping to refocus on her studies.
Jiang Duoduo's parents were also invited to school, and in the face of the teacher's persuasion, they blamed their daughter for not doing her job properly, and at the same time persuaded her to study hard.
However, it is difficult for rebellious teenagers to listen to the advice of others, especially someone like Jiang Duoduo, who believes in the future, and feels that adults do not understand her dreams and pursuits at all.
Once, in his Chinese homework, Jiang Duoduo also wrote his dissatisfaction with the college entrance examination system and his love for writing into his composition, hoping that the teacher could understand his thoughts and support his choice. However, the teacher told her not to be cranky when she corrected her homework.
Whether it was avoiding the college entrance examination or liking to write, this incident delayed Jiang Duoduo's time and energy so much that her academic performance plummeted, and her study life began to become more contradictory and painful.
She was distracted in class, thinking about the plot of the novel, and after school, she hid in her room and wrote desperately, and her grades finally plummeted from the top of the class to the bottom, and the criticism of teachers, the incomprehension of her classmates, and the blame of her parents made her feel depressed and helpless.
The college entrance examination is approaching, Jiang Duoduo's pressure is increasing, knowing that her parents have high hopes for her, but she is even more reluctant to give up her dream of writing.
After some ideological struggle, he decided to make a move in the college entrance examination to express his dissatisfaction with the examination-oriented education.
In the early summer of 2006, outside a college entrance examination center in Henan Province, Jiang Duoduo flashed impatience between his eyebrows in the face of his father's gentle advice, and after speaking, he took the pen and admission ticket from his father's hand and walked into the examination room without looking back.
The night before the college entrance examination, she secretly brought a two-color pen and used 8,000 words to criticize the college entrance examination system on the day of the college entrance examination, hoping to arouse the society's attention and reflection on the college entrance examination system in this way, and signed her pen name "Broken Heart Flying Demon".
After the results of the college entrance examination were announced, Jiang Duoduo's comprehensive subject was sentenced to 0 points, with a total score of only 114 points, which means that he has no chance with the university.
Jiang Duoduo thought that this kind of behavior could arouse widespread attention and discussion in the society, but unfortunately she thought too highly of herself, how could the number of people in the college entrance examination be changed because of a person's will.
Doing something wrong will inevitably be punished, her family fell into great pain, her mother Li Xiuying sat on the ground and cried after learning the news, and her father Jiang Dahai was speechless with disappointment and helplessness written on his face.
Jiang Duoduo's move brought a heavy blow to the whole family, once upon a time, parents worked hard just to let their children change their fate through education, but Jiang Duoduo completely denied all this in his own way.
They couldn't understand why their daughter did this, and they couldn't accept that they ruined their future because of it, Jiang Duoduo realized that his actions had serious consequences, but everything was irreparable.
The end result
Jiang Duoduo's criticism of the college entrance examination did attract widespread attention and became a hot topic in the news, but instead of receiving the expected encouragement and support, he was criticized as naïve and ignorant.
At first, the school leaders and teachers persuaded her to repeat her studies and give herself a chance to start over, but Jiang Duoduo rejected these kindnesses.
After filling in the college entrance examination volunteer application, Jiang Duoduo went to Zhengzhou alone, trying to find a new way out of life, and stepped on the train to the city with simple luggage.
She spent two days and two nights at the train station in Zhengzhou, with nowhere to go and no one to rely on, so she tried to contact her sister, who is studying in Zhengzhou, but her sister's phone has not been able to get through......
Later, she found a temporary job as a waitress in a small restaurant, with a heavy and monotonous daily work, constantly washing dishes and cleaning, and she could only do the lowest work without education or skills, and her salary was meager.
After a period of working life, Jiang Duoduo found that he could not gain a foothold in the city at all, and decided to return to his hometown to face his family and life again.
Jiang Duoduo, who returned to her hometown, once tried to make a living by writing, but no matter how hard she tried, writing never brought her any real reward, after all, she thought that writing was only "niche".
In desperation, she gave up writing and started a farming life, living the monotonous and boring life she once hated the most. Later, Jiang Duoduo got married and had children, lived with her husband in a small remote village to raise children, and lived an ordinary peasant life.
When people mentioned what happened to her back then, she just smiled indifferently and didn't say more, and once resisted the college entrance examination system, and finally paid a heavy price.
could have passed the college entrance examination to have a different life, but chose a completely different path, and as a result, he could only use real life to deal with the original willfulness.
Some people think that "zero score in the college entrance examination is equivalent to ruining a life", this statement is not right, Jiang Duoduo failed to go to college due to willfulness, and can continue his studies in the university of society, she has published works before, indicating that she still has the ability to do so, and she can develop to one side.
There is nothing wrong with such a statement, but considering the reality, in the economic conditions of a few decades ago, it was not easy to provide for a person to go to school, and if you want to walk out of your own style on the road of creation, the average family simply can't come up with so much money.
No matter what the college entrance examination system is, it may not make the children at the bottom soar, but at least there will be more choices in society, and these are enough.
What do you think differently about this?
