From Hengzhong to Tsinghua University

Chapter 13 (12)
In addition, I don't advocate asking teachers and classmates for all the problems. You must give yourself time to think and have the courage to overcome difficulties by yourself.Of course, problems cannot accumulate and must be resolved in a timely manner.Going from Hengzhong to Peking University betrayed my original dream.After going through all this, I realized that there is no need to be obsessed with reaching A or B. The most beautiful scenery is the journey along the way.

Believe in the power of "believe"

The night breeze is blowing, stirring my memories. Since I left that familiar place, I always feel an inexplicable sense of loss. I can no longer find those familiar smiling faces, the feeling of hard work, and I can't go back without the stubbornness of getting up after falling down, falling down and getting up again. The good memories in my memory only belong to those shining days, and only belong to Hengzhong—a place where dreams begin.

Three years ago, I entered the Hengzhong campus for the first time. Like countless new classmates, we are all outstanding students in our respective junior high schools. Let’s see how awesome the legendary bullpen is!” I still remember that I once made such an oath to the photo wall of Tsinghua Peking University students outside the campus: “Three years later, I will definitely appear on this wall!”

However, the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.Throughout the first half of the first semester of the first year of high school, I was adapting to the collective life I had never experienced before, to the schedule that never changed throughout the year, and to the tense rhythm of everyone racing against time.When I was exhausted by the sudden life, I found that only one month into the first year of high school, there were already students who insisted on studying until 12:30 at noon, and then rushed to the cafeteria to grab a meal with the seniors and sisters of the third year. Take 5 minutes to fill your stomach and go back to the dormitory for a lunch break.For a moment, I felt that I was so far away from those goals, and the people around me were more talented and more diligent than me, so what was left for me, why should I overcome others, and what should I use to realize the dream of Tsinghua University.In my heart at that time, I just told myself over and over again: just do your best, do your best, why bother about the result.In such entanglement, I ushered in the high school one-one exam, which was the most impressive exam in my three years of high school. At first, I couldn't find the classroom because I was not familiar with it. Later, I read the wrong table and got a mess of math answers... all kinds of things Disadvantages almost all befall me, the unfortunate one.The second day after the exam, the results were announced, and before I could marvel at the speed of Hengzhong's paper revision, a number jumped into my eyes, "79", hehe, it turned out to be the 79th in the grade, the ninth in the class, although it is not as good as the junior high school It's way ahead, but I'm seeing the payoff.Maybe this purgatory is not as terrible as imagined, maybe your seemingly invincible Xueba is not so powerful.You can lower yourself, but you cannot lower your dreams!Believe in yourself, nothing is impossible.

Gradually, I felt the law of life in Hengzhong. Every morning at 05:30, from the first 10 minutes, to 5 minutes, to the last 3 minutes, I can finish dressing, making quilts, washing, and going to the toilet in 3 minutes Wait for everything to work, then grab the book and run to the playground against the wind.At that time, there was a roommate who always stayed in bed. To remind himself, he pasted a large white paper on the wall above his head, which said: You can hurry up!Every morning when he opened his eyes, what he saw was his own words. In this way, he persisted for three years.I don't know which university he went to in the end, but this kind of experience that can only be had in Hengzhong is the wealth of our life.No one pity the weak, to indulge oneself is to destroy life.Maybe the life in high school is difficult to be magnificent, maybe the days in high school are full of hardships and hardships, but it is these repetitions and persistence day after day that have accumulated a lot and achieved glory every time.

There is a saying in Hengzhong: the first year of high school is the foundation, the second year of high school is the key, and the third year of high school is the decisive battle.I can't relax at any step. The first year of high school is very stable, and my ranking has basically stabilized in my studies. Although there are still some ups and downs, I still see the hope of Qingbei.Listen to the class carefully every day, take notes carefully, try to complete every homework in the self-study, accumulate knowledge points and wrong questions the next day, and have endless self-help lessons. These ordinary but necessary trivial things , basically accompanied every day of the first and second grades of high school.But that's it. People who do well are slowly getting ahead, and those who don't do well are left behind. The gap is often formed bit by bit. There is nothing wrong with the details determining success or failure.Finally, one step at a time, in the mid-term exam of the second year of high school, I got the first place in the grade. After accumulating for a year and a half, I will always get a chance to release it at the right time, just like a bird that grows in the desert of South Africa, called the Thorn Bird , from the moment it was born, it has been struggling to wave its thin wings, thinking of flying far away, no matter it is hot or cold, it just stops occasionally to eat grass seeds and rain, and then it goes all the way forward.Until one day, when it encountered a forest of thorns, it rushed to the tip of the thorns, and sang the brightest and only song in its life at the moment its chest was pierced.It uses all its savings to sing for the last time, live once, and dance once.

A large part of the memory of the second year of high school is occupied by the selection of the star, the so-called star of learning, the star of learning, for this speech in front of thousands of people, I have prepared for three months.Although the lovely classmates in the class helped me to register without my knowledge, I am still very grateful to them, because this star election has completely changed my path for three years in high school.Before this, I basically did not participate in any speech contests. Here I still want to thank those dear classmates who used to be in 414. They helped me propose various plans one by one, and they sacrificed their lunch break time to help me revise the manuscript. , It was they who were "angry" at me when I almost wanted to give up, and made me persevere... Thank you to every classmate around you.But the reality is far from that simple. On the last rehearsal two days before the official competition, I sacrificed N sessions of self-study and N lunch breaks, and gathered a lot of students' hard work. The manuscript was blocked. It can be said to be completely denied. While the tutor helped other players improve, I was left alone in the corner, starting all over again.Looking back now, I really wanted to cry at that time. I worked hard for three months, and my academic performance dropped from the top ten in my grade to the seventy in my grade. I spent a long time with my classmates, and what I got in return was such a consequence. I am not reconciled , Why does God treat those who give like this, I don't understand, why do others pay back but I can't see hope!That afternoon, just when I was about to give up this election, I received a note from another contestant: "Believe in yourself, I know you are suffering, I can help you if there is any problem." Thank you to that classmate , gave me the warmth when I was most difficult, although in the end she was not selected as a school star, but in my heart, she deserved it.In the next two days, I was thinking about the manuscript all the time, even the only time I skipped class to go to the teaching and research room to practice, but no matter how hard it was, I had a good brother by my side, he accompanied me to revise the manuscript, practice with me, and relax me before going on stage Without him, without those classmates who supported me in the audience, I would not have the final success.Yes, I succeeded, holding the manuscript for only two days, I overcame the impossible, I overcame timidity, I overcame myself, I did not disappoint those brothers and sisters who silently supported me, just like I said at the beginning , I have always "can't forget the sweat shed during our military training, the smiling faces on our hikes, and the magnificent vows we made at our coming-of-age ceremony." For three years in high school, you are not fighting alone, believe in yourself , Believe in the brothers and sisters around you.

Of course, besides classmates, the most important people in our school life are our teachers.The teachers in the three years of high school gave me a lot of things, from textbooks and on the road of life. They always guide me to move forward slowly with their words and deeds.Teachers in Hengzhong work very hard. In the morning, students have to do exercises at 05:30, so the homeroom teacher has to rush to the exercise location before 05:30, and urges students to go to rest early at night, and they will not rest until after checking the dormitory , it will be about eleven o'clock.If the students in Hengzhong live an inhuman life, then the teachers in Hengzhong live a superhuman life.It’s okay if you live in the family building of the school, but if you live far away from the school, the teachers have to come to work at 20 o’clock in the morning, and they can’t go home until after [-] o’clock in the evening, and they can barely lie on the desk in the office area at noon After a while, if you can take care of your students, you can't take care of your own children. They are the real creators of Hengzhong's magic, a group of dedicated teachers who love their children like children.The class teacher in the third year of high school had a huge impact on me.As soon as we arrived in the third year of high school, we were "demolished" from the west area where we had lived for two years to the east area. After the midterm, we were divided into classes again and left the class we had been together for more than two years.That is, in this new class, in an unfamiliar environment, I met the last class teacher in high school——Teacher Wang Wenxia.At first glance, Ms. Wang is a very kind person. Perhaps because she has been on the podium for more than [-] years, she has been with the children all the time, and she also has a childlike atmosphere.She is a very self-motivated person, her grades in the class are not good, and the head teacher is more anxious than anyone else. After looking for the subject teacher, she looks for the class committee member, and after looking for the top students, she looks for the regressive classmates. Her enthusiasm is all used on her own. For the children, she is sometimes like a loving mother, carefully guiding the tense nerves of senior high school students; sometimes she is like a strict father, carrying out her "critical education".I especially like the class meeting every Sunday. Whether it is humorous or a common saying, "Only when you get out of the water can you see the mud on your legs." I think I will never forget it in my life.But what really changed me was her sentence: Believe in the power of "believe".Believe in itself is a kind of power, an inspiring motivation, believe in yourself, believe in the teacher, believe in the dream, hope is ahead!

Before New Year's Day, on a Sunday night, Laoban brought a news that shocked everyone in 405: her body was overloaded, and a tumor was threatening the life of our dear teacher at all times.For the sake of the students, she resolutely decided to take us through the college entrance examination in order not to let a 405 person fall behind. What kind of spirit is supporting her? The tears on those youthful faces are the most innocent actions of this selfless teacher. Moving.Especially in the late third year of high school, when my grades plummeted and I was the most confused, it was Teacher Wang who gave me support after many conversations. I may not have fulfilled my promise to the teacher until the end, but I worked hard. Believe it, and I have always believed it. Going through it, without regrets, is youth.

Some things are destined to only remain in memory, some people are destined to be cherished all your life, and some dreams are destined to be pursued all your life. Believe in yourself and the power of "believe".Let's go, friends!Even if the road ahead is bumpy, you only need to leave behind a chic back.

"Which school did you go to in high school?" "Hengzhong."

"It's the Hengshui High School, right? You know, your school has taken a lot of exams from Tsinghua University and Peking University, right?" When I first stepped into Tsinghua University, conversations like this happened to me many times.Indeed, whether we are going to university, going abroad, or working, we will always have a name—Hengzhong people.Hengzhong will always be our pride.

It may appear to outsiders that Hengzhong is a prison-like place, with extreme discipline and endless exercises, cultivating a group of learning machines and exam slaves.However, only Hengzhong people know how much wealth the three years of ups and downs have given us. Only after experiencing the life in Hengzhong can we know the greatness of Hengzhong's spirit.

We can get up at 5:30 in the morning and gather in the playground at 5:35. Everyone is reciting seriously with books or notebooks.Then we released our passion and vitality with neat steps and loud slogans like an army.And if you visit the dormitory at this time, you will be amazed at the neat bedding and clean floor.

We can keep the classroom as quiet as self-study within 10 minutes between classes, and some students can even complete a chemistry or biology case efficiently.

Our Olympiad student can take care of the Olympiad under the heavy pressure of cultural courses. When people praised his excellent level of cultural courses, he has already won the gold medal and stepped into Tsinghua University ahead of schedule.

Our class cadres can check and quantify their grades under the tremendous pressure of study, organize class meetings, and manage the class in an orderly manner.

Our classmates can study quietly in the classroom, run like an arrow at the sports meeting, and sing like the sound of nature at the party.

... This is us, Hengzhong people who combine efficiency, rigor, responsibility and talent.As a member of Hengzhong, I also have my own unique experience and insights.

When I first stepped into Hengzhong, the masters from all over the province gathered here. I felt that I was like a drop in the ocean, and the road ahead was boundless.I still clearly remember that in the first Chinese class, I was overwhelmed by a classmate's moving recitation; in the first physics homework, I was at a loss in the face of a large number of exercises because I was not familiar with the formulas; More than 40 people in the class were tested, and I was hit hard... Although I suffered a lot of setbacks, there was an unquenchable flame in my heart. I refused to accept it, and I believed that I could become a strong person.At a class meeting not long after I entered school, the teacher asked everyone who was aiming for Tsinghua University and Peking University, and I raised my hand without hesitation.However, the first time I investigated the exam, I didn't do well in the exam. Although it wasn't too bad, it was still far from the goal.At the class meeting after the exam, the teacher asked again, who still insisted on the goal of Tsinghua University and Peking University, and I once again raised my hand without hesitation.Because I know that with firm ideals, the whole world will make way for you.

Yes, even though it was sad, I never gave up.I wrote "Ihavenevergotback.Iwillnevergiveup!" in front of my English error correction book. After that, I asked the teacher, practiced the question types, summarized the mistakes, and reviewed the learning plans... I tried my best to surpass myself, Forward to better.In the first semester of high school, I was third in grade, second in grade, and first in grade. I finally reached the top.

After experiencing a glorious semester, I was a little bit smug, and I would often argue with the teacher in class. Now that I think about it, I am really naive, because I am alone, and it delays everyone's learning process. This is really selfish.Of course, that invincible feeling didn't last long.In the second year of high school, on the one hand, due to the pressure of preparing for the Olympiad, and on the other hand, due to the inability to adapt to some new knowledge, I could not guarantee that my grades would be in the top ten in the class.But I never gave up, and that's largely due to my class.Our class has always been in the lead throughout the year, but in the second survey and examination of the second year of high school, the whole class made a big fallback and was ridiculed by competitors.After the exam, the grade organized a warning and motivational meeting. On behalf of the class, I made a solemn promise, "What we want is not to bring back the previous glory, but to create a new myth!" There is a fire, we are working hard, we are working hard, and we are Nirvana in the shame.Finally, in the mid-term exam, our class scored first in all subjects in the grade, and 4 of the top ten in the grade accounted for it. The name of the "ace class" has since spread far and wide.

What I want to say is that it is really blessed to have a group of brothers and sisters working together towards a common goal.Not only learning, in fact, there is collective power everywhere.I remember that in the relay race of the sophomore sports meeting, I ran the last leg.Because the previous classmate fell down, I was already far behind others when I took over the baton.I was already discouraged, but just after running two steps, I heard the shouts of the students in the class piercing the clouds and breaking the rocks. My cold heart was ignited by the fire of passion. slow down.In the end, he managed to catch up with a distance of nearly 50 meters, surpassing a person.

Recalling the growth experience in Hengzhong, my heart will always be surging.I still clearly remember that the physics teacher told me the story of a senior in the previous class after learning that I failed the independent enrollment.He did well in both recommended and self-enrollment exams, but he was not admitted to Peking University due to some grievances. However, he persisted and was admitted to Tsinghua University in the college entrance examination.So, I put everything aside, burned myself completely, and sprinted for the college entrance examination.

I am the first one to do exercises every day, and the last one to leave after school. I spend almost all of my free time doing exercises.My grades are also gradually returning to the top.The second model and the third model are both top ten in grade, and I really found my place.

However, when the countdown to the college entrance examination was 5 days away, the disaster happened again. I felt chest pain. I went to the hospital for an examination and found that it was a severe pneumothorax. expected.After a short period of despair, I calmly called my parents and prepared for the operation as quickly as possible.
