In 2009, the Hubei college entrance examination language composition was a half-proposition "standing at the door of ____", and the style was not limited.
What doorway is it standing in? In just a few minutes, Zhou Haiyang, who was in an examination room in Wuhan, hovered between reality and history, and he negated the ideas of "standing at the door of the college entrance examination", "standing at the door of the Hongmen banquet", "standing at the door of the Gate of the Three Gorges Dam", and he finally decided to write "Standing at the Door of History" and then found the entry point of "Huanghuagang".
In the end, he succeeded, and an article "Standing at the Door of Huanghuagang Cemetery" turned out to amaze many people. That year, good multimedia rushed to interview and report on him, and the words "the most cattle essay on the college entrance examination" jumped on various front-page headlines overnight.
"I believe it will be a full score essay, and I have the strength to do it myself." After the college entrance examination, in the face of the reporter's interview, Zhou Haiyang said confidently.
The last time I had this foresight for my college entrance examination essay, it was Jiang Xinjie, the author of "The Death of the Red Rabbit", because in the examination room, the invigilator watched his composition for a long time, and from time to time walked to him with an unfinished look. It was 2001.
In fact, in those years, there were also a lot of highly personalized college entrance examination full score essays, and some authors may have embarked on the road of literary creation, like Liu Wanhui, a member of the Harbin Liberal Arts Department who wrote "Listen to My Story, Please Don't Go Away" in 2006, became a writer, and Tang Hanlin, a Sichuan examinee who wrote the poem "Forever Tan Si Tong", became a screenwriter. What profession will Zhou Haiyang pursue?
Zhou Haiyang's composition, about 1,000 words, was written in the form of ancient poems. Set against the backdrop of the Huanghuagang Uprising in April 1911, the article expresses feelings and praise for the ancestors, as well as sighs about the hard-won life of today. The form, content and ideas of this article are all first-class in the examination room composition. Without a certain classical literary foundation and historical knowledge accumulation, it is impossible to write such an article.
Many people feel that the article is too well written and they can't reach it, and many people are full of disdain for it, saying that the article is a patchwork, and that modern middle school students should use modern language. In any case, no one can deny that this article is very special, special enough to shock the grading teacher.
Zhou Haiyang's high school was in the middle of a vocational middle school in Wuhan, and at that time he loved to read, especially classical literature, such as "Leaving the Troubles" and "History" and so on. In his sophomore year of high school, he left school due to poor grades, and at home he often read books and read ancient Texts, and when there was no way out, he liked to read "Zhuangzi"; in his third year of high school, he spent a few days in school for the college entrance examination. Who would have thought that the blockbuster man was him. It is love and accumulation that gradually gives birth to a brilliant pen of flowers.
However, his total score in the college entrance examination is only more than 370 points, and the Chinese language is only 110 points. This score is only enough for specialist studies. But this essay opened the door to a new world for him.
Yan Yingshi, the great-grandson of huanghuagang martyr Yan Qingting, was very touched, saying that it was very rare for an eighteen-year-old student to have such talent and affection, and suggested that the university in Guangzhou admit him out of the box.
The Three Gorges University in Yichang City, Hubei Province, also extended an olive branch to Zhou Haiyang, wanting to admit him to undergraduate, but without success, and then recruited him to the college of letters in the chinese language and literature specialty class.
The Three Gorges University considered him a malleable talent and placed high hopes on him, hoping that he would have a deeper achievement in ancient Chinese literature, and not only arranged professional teachers to guide him, but also allowed him to study in undergraduate classes. In this way, Zhou Haiyang stayed at the Three Gorges University for 5 years, first for 3 years of college, and then for 2 years of undergraduate.
In June 2014, Zhou Haiyang graduated with a bachelor's degree, and the school held a bachelor's degree conferment ceremony for him alone, which was a scenery that belonged only to him.
But on the official blog of China Three Gorges University, there were only a few dozen comments, and most of them had a mocking tone.
Many people say that Zhou Haiyang hung up four courses, including "Ancient Chinese", which he focused on learning.
A teacher at China Three Gorges University revealed that Zhou Haiyang's two graduation thesis defenses failed. Hanging section, the defense is fruitless, how did he graduate? No one knows.
After graduation, Zhou Haiyang directly signed a contract with New Oriental and became a language training teacher, which should be mainly composition.
In September 2020, Beijing New Wenda Education promoted Zhou Haiyang's composition course under the name of "author with full score in the college entrance examination", at this time, Zhou Haiyang should have jumped to New Wenda.
In 2021, the "double reduction" policy arrived, and education and training institutions around the world were in mourning. New Oriental, which has been strong for many years, is also facing "business adjustment", tables and chairs have been given to the school, and more than 40,000 employees are facing layoffs; and New Wenda is now also a chicken feather, parents are clamoring for refunds, and employees are clamoring for wages.
It is so wonderful that something opens a journey of new light to people and brings people into a dark and narrow tunnel. However, Zhou Haiyang, who has a talented body, will not be trapped by a career. Besides, we also have a lovely Zhuangzi.
