From Hengzhong to Tsinghua University

Chapter 15 (14)
Hengzhong's three questions are well asked, "What am I doing in Hengzhong? What kind of person do I want to be? How am I doing today?" It has the charm of self-examination.Teacher Hengzhong also gave an incisive summary of the three years of high school teaching experience: "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." smell.The summer vacation of the second year of high school is very short and the weather is very hot. From everyone's point of view, the life of the third year of high school has actually begun.Everyone is ambitious and ready to do a big job.As a result, more and more people are looking for time. In addition to a few physical education classes at the beginning, they will only study, eat, sleep, and go to the toilet in the future.Naturally, the number of exams is increasing, and the procedures are becoming more and more formal. From the monthly exam at the beginning, to the daily quiz, Sunday test, N-tune and N-mode... More and more students spend 8 minutes between classes. In the workbooks, study cases, and self-help, I was still studying hard after the evening self-study get out of class, and I rushed to the dormitory 5 minutes before the lights were turned off.More and more people can solve a breakfast within 3 minutes, which of course includes all the time for going to the cafeteria, making meals, eating, and returning to the classroom.The old class will silently hang the class ranking and grade ranking of each weekly test at the back of the classroom, and spend the whole class time in the class meeting with high spirits to cheer up the classmates in the class.Everyone began to pay more attention to the rankings of each exam, silently took out last year's college entrance examination admission scores, and calculated where they would go.

Every day at noon, the slogan "I can do it! I can do it! I can do it" is still echoing in my mind, and the first round, second round, third round, and fourth round of review have passed over and over again, and the footsteps of the college entrance examination are getting more and more Clearly, many students began to suffer from insomnia, and many students cried bitterly because of a failure in an exam.The test rankings did not gradually take shape as I imagined. On the contrary, especially the scores of the top dozens of students began to fluctuate more and more, and this situation continued until the college entrance examination.Perhaps, this has brought motivation to many people, and perhaps, this has also left deep regrets for many people.

During the real college entrance examination, everyone seemed very calm. After leaving the examination room, no one discussed the topic, and there was a kind of indifference in the tranquility and peace.Perhaps, this is the highest state that our group of weather-beaten Hengzhong fighters have reached. After experiencing too much laughter and tears, joy and sorrow, after the sound of handing in the final exam of the college entrance examination, I smiled lightly: It's finally over, my high school life is over.Perhaps, this is true. At the moment when the college entrance examination ends, what we feel is not the joy of being free from shackles, nor the sadness of being stumbled, but just such a kind of indifference.After all the ups and downs, the result is not the most important thing. The important thing is that the learning experience of Hengzhong has brought every Hengzhong student the most precious life wealth in his life, the selfless atmosphere of pursuing excellence, and the dedication of teachers and students. The united struggle, the pure goal, the beautiful yearning.Only Hengzhong people will understand: what kind of state is the selfless spirit of pursuing excellence.

Frankly speaking, there are middle schools with a longer history than Hengzhong, there are middle schools with greater reputation than Hengzhong, and there are middle schools with stronger teachers than Hengzhong.Hengzhong did not allow every student to be admitted to Tsinghua University, but the shining names in the first few rows of the honor roll gave more students infinite yearning.What Hengzhong brings to each of us is not only knowledge, but also a life experience, which will last forever. The school motto of "Pursuing Excellence" will continue in every student of Hengzhong, and it will be endless.

Miss that blood-boiling life

The night is late, people are tired, dreams are far away, and it is difficult to remember a relationship, whether it is bitter or bitter, love or hate, it is only worth remembering.I pursue tranquility, but when the tranquility hits like a tide, I can't help but miss the place where the blood was once boiling, which is the place where the sun shines at 05:30——Hengzhong.

Living in Hengshui, a small northern city since I was a child, just like elementary and junior high schools have to choose schools according to campuses, it seems destined that my high school has only Hengzhong as an option. The happiest summer vacation in my memory was because I was young at the time and didn't understand the ups and downs of the future, but only knew that I would go to a high school with good grades. "Did I be tricked into coming in at the beginning?" This is a question I often asked myself in Hengzhong, but now when I think about it, I just smile.

Hengzhong's semi-military management began during military training.At the beginning, I was interested in learning how to stack square quilts from the instructor, but I just thought it was a great skill; I became a sports committee member naturally, which gave me the opportunity to appreciate the neatness of the Hengzhong running exercise team from outside the team; every day I started 05 :30 Wake up, dress, wash and tidy up housework, and start to measure quality by speed... It all started from then, we met and got acquainted, and gradually got to know Hengzhong, a school with strict management.

A child who cries out because of pain, when he is tired from crying and falls asleep, may still be in pain and cry when he wakes up again, but slowly, the crying becomes lighter, and the boy gradually becomes stronger.

After the initial running-in period, our wheels gradually got on the right track of the balance.Familiar with the coolness in the early morning and the first frost in the late night, the sparse brooms are always left with yellow willows, and the fog on the glass windows creates a dreamy atmosphere, but the busy figures in it bring this scene back to reality.After accepting the rules and regulations of Hengzhong, we have quantitatively recorded our steps; we are familiar with the quiet classroom and tense rhythm, because there are always test papers all over the desk; we started to rush to dinner, and witnessed the fastest falling asleep record , Counting day and night in the balance.

"Maureen's Glasses" says that everyone has potential, they just need a tipping point.In the comics, the trigger device is a pair of high-tech glasses; in Hengzhong, only one environment and a group of people are needed.

The environment in Hengzhong is quiet, and the learning atmosphere in Hengzhong is excellent.In the fully enclosed campus, the loudest sound is probably the chirping of sparrows; during the short recess, the birds are still the masters of the campus, and the students in the softened teaching building are still discussing fiercely around the teacher.A certain gentleman occasionally caught a glimpse of the silver outside the window, and a certain bird stretched its neck to look at the brightly lit window.The teacher once confessed to us how moved he was: the school required the lights to be turned off at [-]:[-] p.m. to go to sleep, but at [-]:[-] p.m. he witnessed a large number of students rushing out of the teaching building and rushing to the dormitory, and what he heard was still talking about his own class Difficulty speaking.He said that this is the student he is proud of as a teacher; Hengzhong said that this is the atmosphere that other schools can learn from but cannot leave.

I used to be very curious. After going through the college entrance examination and entering the university, in our impression, we entered the society as rookies. So what social skills can Hengzhong teach us as a novice training camp?Afraid to be strong.

All you need to pay... is just the little tenderness in your heart, which will be as hard as iron ever since.I am afraid that if I become mentally strong, small mistakes in the exam will be infinitely magnified by this fierce competition.

I have been frustrated, but never despaired, because there are still test papers to write in front of me, and there will be progress to be made tomorrow; I am afraid that my emotions will become stronger, and the teacher said that we are brothers in the same trench before the college entrance examination, but we are also changing before the class. So vulnerable.After a month of depression, there is a new battlefield; I am afraid that the body will become stronger. During the [-]-kilometer training at night in the Tsinghua University military training, I have defeated the delicate bodies of many proud people, but they are pitifully short in front of the [-]-mile hike in Hengzhong. Do you still remember the songs we sang along the way? Do you still remember the vigorous rape blossoms growing on both sides of the road at that time? I am afraid that the spirit will become stronger. There is no so-called weekend in the three years of middle school, but there are normal classes on Saturday and Sunday test the next day.

Do you feel bitter, do you want to cry, don't be silly, kid, wash up and sleep.Because tomorrow you will live a better life than today, and you will be more accustomed to the rhythm here.Some people say that you are not worth it.However, who can calculate whether such a thing is worth it?When you use three years to prove that you have not been assimilated by the impetuous real world, you can do the old-fashioned "keep your ears off the window and read only the books of sages"; Like traveling around the world for a year, I have seen all kinds of weird theorems, and I am amazed that there are god-like characters everywhere; when you spend three years to complete your duty as a student, why is there any need to be in the unexpected world? Comment?The sparrows outside the window are noisy, and the students inside the window are meditating with a pen. Isn't it a very beautiful picture?

Hengzhong often said that every day without dancing is a disappointment to life; he also said that heaven rewards hard work.I'm afraid this is the common encouragement that all hard-working people give themselves, but reality is always like a child, and no one can ask him to do anything.Therefore, in Hengzhong, we understand that "do our best and obey the destiny", none of us is the god who dominates everything (although we all aspire to be gods), all we can do is the present, and the future is to be handed over to those prophecies It's up to everyone to guess.In the last days of Hengzhong, I would swear an oath every day; I would glance at the countdown sign every day, jokingly say that I would be liberated soon, and privately use that number to stimulate my slack nerves; I would look at the sky and the moon every day , Looking at the stars, let the peace and passion maintain a perfect balance in the heart; every day I will tell myself to cherish the present, maybe tomorrow will be different... When I first left Hengzhong, I still went to look at the sky, the moon, Looking at the stars, but I can't find the blood I once had.The test papers that accompanied me day and night in the past have also been packed and lying quietly in the corner waiting for their fate.

But someone said: I don't know what Hengzhong people look like in your eyes, but I know what I should look like.After entering the university, how have we ever left the title of Hengzhongren?The strokes of the problem-solving pen still draw the clear thinking of Hengzhong people, and the eyes of Hengzhong people in class project the focused gaze of Hengzhong people.It turned out that Hengzhong never went far.

From Hengzhong to Qingbei, counting bricks and tiles in detail; looking back at Hengzhong from Qingbei, the years are green, and the hearts of young people are loose.

What did purgatory produce?

Before entering Hengzhong, I was still an outsider immersed in contradictions.Others said that if Jizhong is hell, then Hengzhong is purgatory.But I really want to go back to Hengshui, the hometown that might give me some rare experiences.

After entering Hengzhong, I became an insider who was soaked in contradictions.Sometimes I hate Hengzhong so much that my teeth itch, and my classmates make all kinds of little jokes that hurt to the end.But when outsiders criticize Hengzhong, most of us can't help jumping out to fight back.

When I finally jumped out of Hengzhong and became an alumnus after going through ups and downs, and patiently corrected all kinds of staggering misunderstandings about my alma mater by my classmates, I couldn't help but wonder what happened in the big "purgatory" of Hengzhong. ?
I have to admit that I have some resistance to some of the rules of Hengzhong, such as the constant supervision and the quantification directly linked to the teacher's assessment and salary, the single learning mode and the too informal life mode.But think about it rationally, how many high schools are not like this?All systems have their reasons for their establishment and the value of their implementation.The reason why Hengzhong still maintains its leading edge when more and more schools learn the Hengzhong model, in my opinion, largely depends on the efficiency, enthusiasm and daring pursuit of Hengzhong people.

Balanced efficiency is an essence worth promoting to the society.In high schools, which are known for their hardships in Chinese education, many schools have fought a time war. "All-night self-study rooms" are often reported in the newspapers. It is taken for granted that high school students do their homework until 12 o'clock at night.However, Hengzhong has always ensured that students get an hour of sleep from 10:10 pm to 5:30 am plus noon every day, and restrained them with strict discipline.Under such conditions, we can't fight the time war, so we have to do more work during self-study.Now I can still hear the rustling sound of writing around my ears, and even turning over the paper is so harsh.The class teacher always emphasizes that before self-study, all the things that need to be used should be arranged, and the tasks assigned should be more than one's ability.In short, just don't let yourself idle and waste time.I remember the stage of the Olympiad sprint, the Olympiad took up all our self-study.In order to keep up with the class, we take up all the time before and after meals and between classes to do homework, study cases and correct mistakes.It is certain that it will not be finished, so there are painful choices in it, which is undoubtedly a great challenge to our efficiency consciousness.Human beings are not a tireless turbulent tumbling forward, but more like a machine with autonomous initiative that consumes energy and wears out.We will feel tired and need to rest and adjust, but when we are working, our minds must keep flying, and we must create more value in a limited time.As a freshman, I have already noticed the fast pace of Tsinghua University: non-stop speeding on the road, auditoriums that are full within ten minutes, and occasional meetings that last until twelve o’clock in the middle of the night... I finally discovered the efficiency of Hengzhong It is such a valuable asset to me.When I finished typing three experimental reports in one afternoon, I suddenly felt a little joy when my roommate's mouth was closed in surprise.

And enthusiasm—that fuzzy thing—appears differently in different places and from different people.

As a student, because he was young, he was arrogant.We will still howl and cheer in the darkness of the power outage; our class number will be printed on the winter snow, and broken snowballs will be scattered to show the traces of our "destruction"; Laughing and making noise regardless of the drizzle outside, it was not quiet until Sister Kang's deeply affectionate recitation of "Where is our youth gone?"Our enthusiasm is not wild, and our throats are not hard when we swear.But our enthusiasm is very broad. Everyone will be crazy about animation and be attracted by the complicated Gaddafi incident at that time.Science children will not be labeled as "dumb" and become a simple burial of books, because we are in our youth.

And teachers pour their zeal into the devotion of samsara.I rarely feel that there is a teacher who can play his role as fully as Mr. Hengzhong.We escaped the fate of immersing ourselves in the ocean search of information books, and exercised our thinking in the carefully selected topics carefully selected by the teacher.At that time, a group of teachers from foreign schools came to our class on the open day of the school to listen to the exercise commentary class. The teacher sitting next to me looked at the paper and asked me in disbelief: "Can you finish this kind of difficult homework in one class?" I just said lightly: "Just get used to it." In the face of various difficult question types and various weird questions in the college entrance examination, I only have a kind of indifference to the usual exercises.Hengzhong students are very happy, from this point of view.And this kind of happiness comes from the foreshadowing given to us by the teachers.In the face of different faces, the only constant is their professionalism and love.Teacher Xin, who is also the school leader, still manages the class in an orderly manner, and personally buys moon cakes and boiled glutinous rice balls for us; Teacher Yu carefully designed the flow chart for students to understand, filled one sheet after another, and braved the cold wind to personally go to the station to give us She said she was the happiest teacher in Hengzhong when she booked the ticket; and Teacher Wang Wenxia still replied to my text messages during the rest period after the operation: "Very good, don't read it. Go to college and leave home, pay attention to your health, don't slack off. Listen to you Good news"... Countless emotions and exclamations.The teachers have paid a lot, family, body, energy, etc., every year.I am here to bless them yesterday, today and tomorrow.

The efficiency and enthusiasm of Hengzhong people reflect a Hengzhong spirit: the pursuit of excellence.Faced with the achievements that have been refreshed year after year, Hengzhong only said that it will make new peaks and that next year will be even better.After finalizing the Olympiad, Hengzhong started preparations from the starting point of zero teachers and system. From the Olympiad interest group to the Olympiad class, a school that is still in its infancy in this regard has achieved amazing results.As long as you do it, you have to do your best.To be strong but not to be overbearing is just to create Hengzhong's temperament - a kind of confident domineering.

If Hengzhong is a purgatory, it is these temperaments that are refined.I will never forget the itinerary I used to go back and forth every holiday in the past three years in high school, and I will never forget the mixed feelings in my heart when I finally left my alma mater and suddenly looked back at the crowded school gate getting farther and farther away.Just like I will never forget the wealth given to me by my alma mater, which is the necessary backpack for me to go to the university and go to the society.

Now I have just stepped into the university stage that all high school students dream of, and I have not "fallen", because I have the imprint of Hengzhong in my mind...

In the days of dancing, fly my youth

After experiencing happiness and sorrow, joy and sadness, happiness and pain, after experiencing the unity of all people, after feeling lonely and lonely, after laughing and crying heartlessly together, after loving and hating thoroughly; After joy, loss, excitement, and indifference, everything has gone with time, just like a mountain stream has washed away the sand at the bottom, and the only thing left is to miss it deeply——our Hengzhong .
