From Hengzhong to Tsinghua University

Chapter 11 (10)
This day was the second day after the results of the 2011 college entrance examination were announced.It is also the No.15 day when we enter the third year of high school.After finishing his sleep, which was slightly lowered by the sound of firecrackers the night before, he trotted all the way to the playground.This morning is destined to be extraordinary.Almost all the teachers were talking about the brilliant results of the double champions, with unconcealable smiles on their faces.And the sound of the students reading seems to be a bit louder than usual.The pride of being a Hengzhong person and the expectation of myself in a year's time have brewed into a subtle force, hazy but particularly exciting.

At that time, we were dormant in the classroom disheveled and disheveled with endless devotion to the word "senior high school". We felt refreshed after listening to a class carefully, and were overwhelmed by the never-ending homework, study cases and self-help. His brows were furrowed, anxious because of the upcoming monthly exam.In such an atmosphere, there is always a feeling of darkness and suffocation.

The number one scholar in arts and sciences.Nearly seventy Qingbei.Maybe this is just the light and hope that the gloomy mood needs.

I wrote in my diary: "Senior year, my third year, I know this is a very sacred time, it is to decide that June of 2012, what kind of mood I will walk through, it is to decide that September , Can I smile in a certain fragrant flower path of Peking University. Fight! Concentrate on studying and get rid of distracting thoughts, you can!"

It turns out that we all had to learn to hide in our frivolous youth.December 25, [-].The days passed like water.The beginning of comprehensive literature and comprehensive science means that a round of review is coming to an end.I gradually got used to the ups and downs of grades and being called to talk by teachers of various subjects; I got used to looking forward to going out every two weeks to take a shower, eat a good meal, and sleep in a hotel for a good night; I got used to holding back my irritability and seriousness Sort out the long problems in the math error correction book.

The original passion has evolved into a calm state of life, it is difficult to determine whether this is a kind of maturity or degeneration.But I think this is a process that every senior must go through.don't feel tired.Even if I do occasionally, I go outside the classroom to look at the posters of Peking University on the wall, and stay quietly with Boya Tower and Weiming Lake in the photos for a while, and then continue to return to my seat to read books or do quizzes.

It happened to be Christmas and my 17th birthday.I don’t know how everyone learned about this and how they found time to rush to the supermarket to carefully choose gifts for me. I only remember clearly that night I was holding a wishing bottle, a key chain, a coffee cup, and a gift I made by myself. When Xiaoka and the crystal box walked back to the dormitory, they were so moved that they wanted to cry.

My beloved 402, either by coincidence or destiny, we have never been separated since the first grade of high school.Together, we have experienced the tempering of the [-]-mile hike, experienced the carnival of coming-of-age ceremonies together, planned the unforgettable Teacher’s Day together, accepted the test of changing teachers temporarily, shared the joy of progress in grades, and spent time together in the third year of high school. I stumbled and stumbled on this road.We are classmates, and even comrades in arms. We have been fighting side by side, fighting for our own dreams and the dreams of the class.Even if you are knocked down again and again, you stand up hand in hand again and again.

My dear friends, this relationship is the most collectible gift in the monotonous time.Spring [-].The reason why I use the general word "spring" to represent the date is because I think the memory of the whole spring is linked together and inseparable.For example, the cherry blossoms, magnolias and more flowers that I can't name on the campus seem to bloom overnight.The gorgeous sea of ​​flowers brings a romantic atmosphere to the campus. Judging from the overall tense atmosphere, it seems a bit strange, but it is really beautiful.I still remember that one weekend, the high-intensity and high-intensity weekly test that almost completely simulated the college entrance examination made me tired, so I slipped out of the classroom to relax. Guo Cheng came to meet me and said, let's go to enjoy the flowers.Then we sat quietly behind the lawn and looked at the blooming trees and the scattered petals on the ground. I don't know how long it has passed.

For another example, the class bell is replaced with that classic music, thetruththatyouleaveme.When this piece was played for the first time, Mother Chu was still lecturing. She gracefully turned around and wrote a series of formulas on the blackboard. The rhythm of the chalk almost matched the beating of the notes.In an instant, a very beautiful feeling rose in my heart. I think this is the most beautiful piece of music and the most beautiful mathematical formula in the world.I have to say that this song greatly inspired our little mood during those days.After the university term started, I said on Weibo that the music played at the entrance ceremony was thetruththatyouleaveme, which seemed like a lifetime away.Yuning immediately commented that our student union also played this song when recruiting new students. I still miss those sunny days in spring.For another example, during the hundred-day swearing-in of the college entrance examination, Huahua led us to shout out our dreams and vows hoarsely.What kind of shock was that, the teacher stood on the desk and the students stood on the desk, it seems that only in this way can the young heart be closer to the clouds, and God can feel our heartfelt cry.That was the only swearing-in that brought tears to my eyes.I feel very happy this spring.Although I went to the cafeteria with Yuning to eat at 12:37 or later at noon every day, and ran to the dormitory screaming and embarrassed when the lunch break preparation bell rang at 12:43, although there were still endless homework and study cases Self-help, although the comprehensive test has been increased to three times a week and the difficulty of the multiple-choice questions is making me increasingly headache.

But I am really happy.Because we're not thinking about anything, we're simply trying, that's all.

June [-]th and [-]th, [-].These are two days that many people look forward to and fear.

This is the college entrance examination.I once saw a picture describing the college entrance examination as the largest disaster movie in history.I beg to differ, on the contrary, I think my college entrance examination is very happy.It's not hypocritical, if you savor the warmth you got these two days carefully, you will feel the same way.

The morning before the exam, we moved the books to the library which was used as a temporary study room.On the way, I saw the fountain on the campus turned on, and the white water column was very attractive under the warm sunshine. I heard the students behind me say that I really wanted to rush in and play.Naturally, I remembered the scene of running in and out of the fountain in my childhood, and laughed.The desks in the library are spacious, bright and clean, which brightens up the mood.After packing up the books, I went back to the classroom to clean and arrange.In Mingzhi Building, our former slogan banners, the countdown to the college entrance examination, and the flowers that made up smiling faces in the lobby on the first floor are all gone.Only the white walls stood, quiet and solemn.It seems that all traces of our life here have been erased.It was only at this moment that I suddenly realized that the farewell to the iron-clad camp and flowing soldiers was close at hand.But we are unable to say goodbye sadly, because this is the college entrance examination.

After running the gymnastics on June 365, the tradition that Hengzhong has followed for many years began: the breakfast of love for the college entrance examination.Students in each class go to their class teacher to receive cakes, ham and eggs.When Lao Ban Shuanghuafa had breakfast, her signature clear and innocent smile was always on her face.She didn't say anything, and we understood everything.We have fought together for 402 days and nights, and we have experienced a lot together. 65 is her pro-student, and even her own child.It's hard to imagine how this thin woman managed to rush home after eleven o'clock in the evening, carefully cook eggs for her [-] children until two or three o'clock, and then appear here again at six o'clock in the morning, with no tiredness on her face, only smile.How can such love not make us feel happy and double our courage.

Before entering the first exam, the admission ticket and ID card that had been collected before were all posted with a smiley face when they were sent out again.I still have this smiley sticker to this day.I don't know why this insignificant detail at the beginning can move me for a long time.

Before each exam, the teachers sent us away at the door of the study room.I still remember that before the comprehensive essay exam, some of us, Lai, read more books in the self-study room, and Weiwei and Huahua were waiting for us at the door.When we left, we hugged them respectively.Huahua patted my shoulder and said, you must be fine.Then I thought I was really okay.Just entered the examination room happily.After each exam, the teachers crowded to pick us up at the door of the library, gave us a little encouragement or comfort by looking at our expressions, and let us prepare for the next subject wholeheartedly.I dare say that their concern is by no means less than that of our parents.This is another kind of rare happiness.

The meals in the cafeteria, free fruits, more relaxed rest and meal time, and the happiness brought to us by the mutual encouragement of the students needless to say.

In this way, two days passed quickly.After finishing the English test, Yang Yi's cry broke the calmness he had deliberately kept in his heart.She shouted: "My sister will be an alumnus from now on!"

So we graduated completely.June [-], [-].classmate reunion.A large private room was full of people.

We were still joking around in middle school, teasing each other, and the atmosphere was joyful.Somehow, everyone gradually became drunk.Most of the boys slumped in chairs or sat on the steps outside, silent.Several girls hid in a corner, crying.A friend explained to the waiter over and over again that we are not called a breakup meal, because we don't break up.

However, there is no banquet in this world that does not end.Standing at the entrance of the hotel, watching the students leave in twos and threes, I wonder if this means the end of our youth?

After I went back, I listened to thetruththatyouleaveme repeatedly, falling into memories.I saw Mother Chu write down the most beautiful formula.I saw that Xiaomei was still dragging herself hard.I saw Brother Hai took out the "ruler" and knocked on the table to scare people.I saw Huahua draw a globe that was not round enough on the blackboard.I saw that Weiwei was surrounded by a group of people after class, discussing that unthinkable philosophical question.I saw Xiaoxia praising and criticizing so-and-so's calligraphy.I saw Yuning and I sneak under the seats to eat chocolate and walnuts.I saw that Xiao Geng personally wrote small notes of encouragement to students with poor math scores.

I saw us running crazily in our youth, falling gorgeously, standing up in embarrassment, and starting to run again.

Hot tears could not stop staying.I think I'm drunk, really drunk.The college entrance examination is a rite of passage.However, I understand that our youth still stays in the hot land of Hengzhong, fixed in the period from [-] to [-], always shining brightly and never fading.

I'm in Hengzhong, my heart beats
Class 403 Li Siyuan
Admitted to Peking University in 2012
Looking back on the days in Hengzhong, my heartbeat always involuntarily speeds up a bit.Looking at life in Hengzhong now from the standpoint of someone who has experienced it, you can see sunshine everywhere, about hope, about ideals, about pursuit, about hard work, about piety, about firmness, about self-confidence, about stubbornness, about the whole youthful season All nice words.

Hengzhong students standing on the threshold of the college entrance examination, when they are moving forward, I think the following points should not be ignored.

[-]. The spirit is more important than anything else
In Hengzhong, we have a joke called "Young people have to rely on their spirit to live, so what else do they have to eat?"Yes, in the eyes of others, Hengzhong's children consciously compress the eating time to less than 5 minutes, which is a perverted and distorted behavior under heavy pressure.But I have to say that among the group of children who were hurrying on the road and turmoiled in the cafeteria, each of them had a fire in their hearts. I think this can be called spirit.

Children in Hengzhong all know what Churchill said - "When a person thinks back to his youth, if there is nothing that makes his blood boil, his life will be in vain."Many unimaginable things, the children of Hengzhong have done extremely beautifully with the support of spirit.For example, in the 80-mile hike in the first year of high school, no one was left behind in the whole grade.I can't forget a girl who survived until the end, and didn't sit on the ground and burst into tears until the hike officially ended and returned to campus; I can't forget the scene of a boy jumping off the medical car and insisting on finishing the walk by himself.For example, insist on getting up at 5:800 every day for three years, and run 5 meters twice a day; Politics, 4 Chinese ancient essays, countless fragmented geographical knowledge and supplementary knowledge points have been memorized several times; for example, 64 English multiple-choice questions in 5 minutes; such as swearing to yourself every day, repeating dreams, and constantly challenging .I know of no other explanation than the spirit for this persistent and heavy madness.Spirit is more important than anything else. Every child who is chasing should learn to support his young and noble head with spirit under heavy pressure.

[-]. Never give up on your dreams, stay faithful and persevere

I have always considered myself a beneficiary of this statement.My third year of high school was full of ups and downs, full of hardships.When the list of full marks in the math test takes up a page, my math score is still a pitiful 20 points; everyone passed the questions in the history class, but I was suspended for a week; my geography score has never been I have never been in the top 110 of my class; Chinese, which I have always been proud of, is always hovering around 2 points.You can imagine the pain in the heart of a proud girl who thinks she was born for Qingbei.Have you ever had a night when you secretly hid in the quilt and lost sleep, constantly questioning whether you could get into Peking University?Have you ever had the experience of staring at the ceiling at noon with your eyes open after the test results came out, being silent for an afternoon, and running wildly around the playground before evening self-study?Have you ever had the despair of wanting to hug your head and cry when you were halfway through the problem and suddenly dropped the pen?I have.I'm so thankful I didn't give up on my dream, stayed faithful and stuck with it.Re-do the thick mathematics accumulation book twice; shouted the slogan "If you hang up the history class again, you will kill yourself to thank the world"; earnestly made an extra thick book "300" and sorted out and corrected mistakes; When I passed the [-]th exam, I just cried secretly and listened carefully to the comments in the afternoon; when I was not eligible for Qingbei recommendation, I rejected the school recommendation places of Renmin University of China and Zhejiang University and cut off my retreat; my grades in the first, second and third models continued to decline Afterwards, I still told the teacher in charge that I would not go to Qingbei.It looked crazy and dreary, and you wouldn't know how grateful I was for the choice at that time, that was the path my dream pointed me to.

Hengzhong has a few words: "The college entrance examination is a work of conscience", "People are doing it, the sky is watching, parents are looking forward to it, and a great cause is calling", "You will control the college entrance examination before June 6th, and the college entrance examination after June 8th Left and right you" "After the college entrance examination, I owe nothing to the sky".In fact, it is nothing more than to encourage you to be devout to your dreams, and then to learn down-to-earth, and to welcome everything naturally.Dreams give people a strong internal driving force, turning all unbearable pressure into external driving force.This explains why the same environment is motivation for dreamers and stress for mediocrity.Never give up on your dreams, that is your only light in the dark night, please keep pious and stick to it.

[-]. Learn to have fun by yourself and walk with a united group
No one's third year of high school can pass by leisurely, and the life depicted in those youth novels can never be often staged in reality.Sitting on a mountain of books and a sea of ​​questions, the necessary skills for high school seniors include learning to have fun by themselves.Telling a cold joke with your deskmate after class, flipping through the beautiful articles at the footer of the "May [-]" page, reviewing the teacher's funny words and deeds in class, or even going out for a run, can all become life adjustments and change people from monotony. Saved from boredom.In Hengzhong, which is so terrifying in the rumors, the most indispensable thing on campus is laughter.The children in Hengzhong, who were so dull in the rumors, had more bright smiles than many children of the same age.We must have the courage to face the heavy reality, but we must not wear away the splendor of youth.Make yourself happy, this is the art of living.

Happiness often comes from the environment we live in.Everyone in Hengzhong is familiar with the sayings such as "a rising tide lifts all boats", "if you want to walk fast, walk alone; if you want to walk well, walk in a group", and practice it.This is why Hengzhong people have an instinctive love and maintenance for their alma mater, and why Hengzhong can create a mythical achievement.If a person takes away only an admission notice when he graduates from high school, he is sad.What we should take away is the friendship of classmates, the love for the class, and the responsibility to invest in the middle school.We're not too young to try to do something, it's not great, but it's necessary.Imagine, 30 years from now, when we all get together, with shared memories and joy.How wonderful it is to see firsthand how a group you helped build grows and has a future.

[-]. Be extremely trustful of your teacher and be extremely grateful to your parents
Teachers and parents are the adults who have the most influence on our growth, and they are also the adults who support us on this path.We always have to be out of their hands, especially when we are boarding, there are always things that we have to solve by ourselves, and we need to have the right attitude towards them while taking control of the decision.
