From Hengzhong to Tsinghua University

Chapter 4 (3)
When it comes to Hengzhong, I have to mention my teachers. I am in awe of their concern for students and dedication to work. Their different personalities are even more unforgettable for me!In the past three years, the work of each of my teachers has impressed me deeply. The class teacher ran with us in the winter morning, and brought fruits to the students who did not go home on holidays. The teachers prepared lessons from morning till night, Approving homework, choosing topics, and talking to classmates after each exam... Bit by bit, I see it in my eyes and keep it in my heart. They use practical actions to tell me what it means to pay and what it means to be dedicated. No matter when and where, they My precepts and deeds make me feel a kind of responsibility and expectation.The teachers in Hengzhong are not only respectable, but also lovely. Even after two years away, I can still remember the "sparkling points" in them: I remember Brother Xun's squinted eyes and wicked smile when he saw a math problem, and I remembered Li Uncle’s ambiguous Mandarin and trembling eight-character gait, I remember Brother Wang’s dancing when he was excited when he was talking about physics class, I remember Xiaoqiang’s strange memory sentences in biology class, and Brother Luan’s "tyranny" in governing the class, Sister Sui The helplessness that no one spends time learning Chinese, Sister Hong's singing of "One Cut Plum", and Brother Guo, Sister Xian, Sister Qin, and Sister Qian... Hengzhong's teachers are parents who have given us endless love and tolerance; The teacher is a friend who gives us understanding and respect.The silk is spit out and the spring is not old, the tears of the candles are ashes and the autumn is thicker, the spring sows three thousand gardens of peaches and plums, and autumn comes full of fruit!
When I was in Hengzhong, I thought about graduating early all day long. After I came to Tsinghua University, I really wanted to go back to Hengzhong to relive the past years.However, I did not after all.I don't know what kind of identity I should go back now. After leaving high school, I have never been so nervous, so innocent, so desperate, and so down-to-earth. I don't know how I should face those who are still in high school. Children who study hard for their ideals!I can't get back the days when I was working hard for Tsinghua in high school without regrets, I can't get back the fighting friendship of fighting for my dream, I can't get back the kind of wishing that the pen will be sharp, and I will borrow blood Washing away the king's arrogance in the sky, therefore, for the children who are fighting in high school now, I am destined to be just a hasty spectator when I go back... People say, it is better to go back; I say, it is better not to go, I only hope to meet in dreams …Hengzhong has given me a huge amount of spiritual wealth in the past three years. The school motto of pursuing excellence and the belief that God rewards hard work have been deeply engraved in my heart. The alma mater presented a birthday gift and handed in a satisfactory answer to the motherland!

The three years I struggled in Hengzhong
Class 319 He Xinyu
Won honors such as "Top Ten Squad Leaders" and "Top Ten University Stars", and was recommended to Tsinghua University in 2009.

Time flies, and in my memory, I still seem to be a boy sweating on that land yesterday. In my memory, the scene of fighting side by side with my lovely teachers and classmates is still very clear. In my memory, the vivid June that belongs to us has just passed. But in a blink of an eye, I suddenly realized that it has been more than three years since I left my beloved Hengzhong.

Looking back on the past, the bits and pieces of high school are still in my mind.Those were three years soaked in tears and sweat, three years occupied by confusion and searching.In the years when there were only black and white, we used our hard work to paint a colorful future.Looking back on those extraordinary three years, our hearts cannot be calm, and we have a lot to say.Or experience, or nostalgia.In any case, it has become a time that cannot be returned.It can be said that for every student, the time in high school is unforgettable.That period of high school that was no longer free and undisciplined, did not dare to think wildly, and did not want to let go for a second, that period of monotonous but simple, sad but colorful, intense and fulfilling high school years is beyond the imagination of those who have never experienced it. Those who have experienced it will never forget it.

Sometimes I can't help but think, what is our biggest gain in the three years in Hengzhong?I think it should be a kind of balance spirit.It is a spirit of pursuing excellence, a cruel heart that dares to endure hardships, a kind of generosity that is not surprised by favor or shame, an indomitable tenacity, a responsibility that never retreats, a kind of sincerity that treats people sincerely, and a kind of determination that has gone through all kinds of dangers. Unswerving persistence, a kind of dedication that puts collective honor above everything else, a kind of hardness that speaks with strength, a kind of steadfastness gained through sweat, a vow of undefeated flowers, a dedication of youth without regrets, a kind of hard work The beauty... It should be said that it is an honor in our life to be able to study in Hengzhong.Hengzhong is not only a palace of knowledge, but also a ladder of dreams. It not only has a campus that is cleaner than Tsinghua University and Peking University, but also has first-class hardware facilities in the country. It also has an absolutely pure learning environment and brothers and sisters who love each other , There is also a good teacher who is rigorous, dedicated and selfless.Our teachers, they, are the loveliest people on this campus.Every morning, we get up earlier than the sun, and they get up earlier than us; every time we run, they take the same vigorous steps as us and shout the same firm slogans.In order to prepare lessons for us, they are willing to stay up until four or five o'clock in the morning, but they are still in high spirits the next morning; in order not to miss a class for us, they would rather endure the pain, holding the blackboard and giving lectures with trembling voices.They will always guard us, guide us, bless us, and move us.Every time I feel that I am suffering and tired, that I have no confidence and lack of belief, then just look at our lovely teachers, and I will go all out to fight again.Year after year, they give with the same selflessness and enthusiasm as us, feel the winter and spring with us, taste the alternation of cold and warm, and live a life that is more stressful, busy and repetitive than ours.For a noble belief, for a lofty belief, they have paid in this hot land year after year, seen too many laughs and tears, shed too much painstaking effort and too beautiful hope, Swallowing too much hard work and too much pain, only then have the lush peaches and plums, and the brilliance that makes schools all over the country envy and try to imitate but will never be able to learn, and we have today.Thank you, our mentors.

In the three years of high school, the time has passed, the young and expectant first year of high school, the busy and habitual second year of high school, the running and seizing the day and night of the third year of high school, they came and went inadvertently.Time keeps moving forward, and every day, the footsteps of the college entrance examination are one day closer.After all, the college entrance examination is the college entrance examination. After all, many people think it is a key battle that determines our destiny to a certain extent. Therefore, if you want to completely calm down and deal with it easily, at least in my opinion, it should be just a saint.The days of preparing for the college entrance examination made me realize that maybe there are still many difficulties ahead. No matter what happens in the future, no matter what I encounter, it is normal.No one's high school is smooth sailing, there are pressures, impetuousness, melancholy, doubts, these are very normal and common.But in the face of various difficulties, what we have to do is also very simple: try our best to do well.I have done my best, I have improved more than before, and what I do now is worthy of myself and everyone, so I have a clear conscience.Don’t think about the result, don’t think about the future, what should come will always come, as long as I actively prepare and live with my heart, I will reach new heights every day.Although the college entrance examination has an element of luck, it still depends on strength.Improving one's own level and relying on one's own strength is the last word.

Thanks to our alma mater, we can realize our dreams through struggle; thanks to our alma mater, we have the perseverance to persevere, the ambition to give up, the humility to never be satisfied, the normal heart to be flattered, and the sense of responsibility to help each other... No matter what When and where, I will always remember that I am a Hengzhong person, pursuing excellence and striving unremittingly!

Looking at the present, the alma mater is so beautiful; tomorrow, the scenery here will be even better!
Flying snow last night - remember half of my high school experience
Class 320 Wang Long

In October 2008, he won the first prize in the National High School Chemistry Competition (provincial competition area), and was recommended to Peking University in January 10.

From midsummer to seventy-nine severe cold, from scorching sun to white snow.Half of my high school experience was always fixed in the early summer and late winter of 2008.During those days, I went from impetuous to stern, from immature to mature.Those painful interpretations in the dark background have become the unforgettable memories of today's blue and gold intertwined - hard to let go, unforgettable - the gains and losses of the Olympiad, the bitterness and sweetness of the recommendation...

[-]. Heat wave scorching passion
The midsummer of 2008 seemed to be more scorching hot than previous years. In July, due to the Olympic Games, the school was forced to extend the usual three-week summer vacation to nearly fifty days, except for the Olympic students.

We are not overly frustrated, on the contrary, we are proud of it.Backing up their bags and drying off their sweat, the 25 brothers and sisters of the Orsay team rushed forward with the same dream. "My future is different from yours!" This is what Li Yang encouraged us to study hard in his speech.We are Osai students, which means more efforts, more pressure, more sacrifices, and even more blows and more tears.It's just that we know that our future is different from others, and we are really working hard for our own future like crazy.Although, we don't know whether such a hard work will be exchanged for the coveted medal.In the classroom, we were sweating profusely, sweating like rain; in the morning light, we ran exercises together, and loud slogans agitated in the empty campus... Some people say that learning the Olympiad is gambling, all the rest time in high school is capital, and the success or failure of the college entrance examination is the capital. Bet; if you participate in the Olympiad, you may not only lose your money, but also ruin your life and regret for future generations.However, at this moment, we are inexplicably proud of ourselves and moved by ourselves.We fight for the future!Fight for life!I think: Osaisheng, what really moves people is not the spirit of hard work, but this clear and profound mood of striving for one's own life.

I am a student of Chemistry Olympiad.This Olympiad almost requires mastering all the chemistry content of the freshman, and many of the contents are abstract and difficult to understand.In the few months before the exam, I read a total of six or seven books on organic, generalized theory, elements, structure, analysis, etc., completed three test books, and made more than one hundred sets of mock test questions. Thirteen large notebooks were used for the notes and correction summary... Looking back, I am really proud of the amazing effort!But when I think of many comrades who have paid the same as me, all their efforts have been in vain, and I can't help but feel sad—some are happy and some are sad.If such a tragic ending is expected in advance, why do people work so foolishly?Tried hard, no regrets, but disappointed.However, no one can predict the future in advance.Success and failure, the bitterness and sweetness of life, may become mysterious and exciting precisely because of their unpredictability and uncontrollability.So, I still firmly believe in that sentence: You may not succeed if you work hard, but you will definitely not succeed if you don’t work hard-it’s a bit tragic!
On September 9th, the preliminary written test, the countdown had already been set up in the class. Unknowingly, the numbers flew backwards, and the test time was approaching.When there was one more day left, we suddenly realized that today might be the last time that relatives in the Olympiad class will study together—because it is impossible for 15 people to win the first prize at the same time.Looking at each other is a bit nostalgic and numb, and the relationship of the past two years seems lingering and hard to break.However, the cold blood of the exam determines the ruthlessness of the competition.Along with nostalgia in these last days was indifference.My God, if one day you suddenly find that your comrades-in-arms who are close to you day and night become enemies who die for you, what kind of pain, confusion and helplessness will you feel?We faced it inescapably.Because, we began to understand: this is not a competition between a few schools, but a competition among thousands of students taking the exam. No matter how close your classmates were in the past, they may ruthlessly deprive you of your qualifications for being shortlisted!In the past few days, unconsciously, we have all become selfish.The exam of fighting alone can only make us choose to prepare for the battle alone. "Can you lend me your error correction book?" I looked at my friend's sincere and longing eyes as always, but there was hesitation and doubt in my own eyes.I am disappointed in myself, but I also feel that I should not be the only one who is disappointed!

The day before the exam was the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month.The moon is very round, staring at the dark blue night sky, feeling its depth and vastness, my heart is as calm as water.While gazing at the moonlight, I was in Shijiazhuang, far away from school and even farther from my hometown, and a kind of missing lingered in my heart like silk cotton.Afterwards, there was a growing sense of pressure, which some couldn't bear.But that night, I did not suffer from insomnia... The exam still came as scheduled.Before handing out the papers, I made a gesture to my classmates who were taking the exam: "Come on!"He also smiled and made one.Handing out papers and answering questions is the same as usual, but this time, for the first time, I remind myself all the time: be careful, be careful, and be careful again—do you want a momentary sloppy to be a lifetime regret?As a result, at the end of the three hours, I fainted a little. "I don't have any regrets!" This was the first sentence I said to my friend after leaving the examination room. The sun was shining brightly and dazzlingly bright.The test results came out a week later.Back in the Orsay classroom, everyone packed their things silently, no one knew, for themselves, whether this is the end or a new beginning!After a lapse of three months, we dragged our exhausted bodies and returned to our respective classrooms with more than a month of homework left behind, and started the dark preparations for the college entrance examination again.Looking at the backlog of test papers on the table, I was a little dazed and wanted to avoid it.

Second, the drizzle is continuous and sad
One week after the Olympiad preliminaries, I really felt hopeless in the study and life of the college entrance examination - collapsed!I would never have thought that in a month of blankness, I would be far behind.The top students in the past are now reduced to the middle class, and their anxiety is beyond words.The weather turned cooler that week, and the sky was always gloomy. It seemed that it was going to rain, but it never rained.

On the weekend, the results that came out once again disrupted my gradually returning to a peaceful life-I was successfully shortlisted.However, it's just that the results are low, and it is unlikely to make it into the provincial team.At this moment, I really don't know whether I should be happy for the first prize I have already won, or sad for my distant dream—I chose to continue to fight hard and challenge the re-examination three days later.I don't want to admit defeat before I fail, and I don't want to give up even a glimmer of hope.

The long-lost drizzle is falling, drifting far away, like a long song.After the preliminary round, only 25 of the 6 people remained.We walked into the Orsay classroom again after a week. The classroom was wet due to the leaking roof, and the blowing wind was mixed with a thick musty smell, which made it look a little empty and desolate.We formed a big circle around the table and placed all the Olympiad books of 25 people around. We sat in the sea of ​​books by ourselves, and started preparing for the re-examination quite proudly and nervously.However, we were dumbfounded: for the first time, we knew that after the preliminary competition, there was not only an experimental test, but also a theory; we also saw for the first time that it was not that we could not do the theoretical questions in previous years, but—we couldn’t read them at all!We are now far from the level required.When thinking of how proud the opponent of Shijiazhuang No. 30 High School, which has always dominated the Olympiad, should be at this time, we can't express the disappointment, anxiety, irritability, and complaints in our hearts.During the re-examination, the 5 first-class scholarship students in the province will have to do the next half of the first written test. After ten days of experimental training and assessment, only 13 can enter the provincial team.And I was ranked [-]th in the province at the time. If I was not careful, I might be brushed off as soon as I came up.In fact, my worry is not as simple as being brushed off, because I understand that even pressing the edges that have not been brushed off to advance to the experiment is of no help-there is not much difference in the experiment, and people who are not in the top eight in the overall ranking want to hit the province. The team is simply wishful thinking!
On the day of the theoretical exam, it was still raining.In an ordinary study room in Baoding River University, cool colors dominate.I lost most of the memory of this exam, and I only felt that the questions were difficult and the sky was very cloudy.I entered the experiment, but I couldn't be happy—the overall ranking was 11th, and there was little hope of entering the provincial team.I want to fight, I fantasize about the favor of miracles.I lament that fate always gives you too many choices: on the one hand, knowing that hard work can only lead to more painful failures, but you just don’t want to give up; on the other hand, you choose to experiment, so more than ten days are left behind I don't know how many blue and black days will be laid foreshadowing in the future.The teacher saw my thoughts and said to me with a smile: "Orsay pays attention to the result, but the process is more important. It exercises your ability." I nodded slightly.

Let's face the experiment, since we have chosen a distant place, we only care about both wind and rain; since we have chosen Orsay, we just want to go forward indomitably.Who can say that there will be no willows and flowers after the mountains and rivers are restored?I would be foolish to believe such an assumption.Ten days of training passed in a flash, and the third test of the Olympiad finally came. After this test, whether the dream will be realized or not will be settled.

A lab exam awaited me on my shaky feet one day in October.I secretly felt that it was going to rain again today, but I was surprised to find that it was so—I really felt that the rain this year was so strange, and the few rains happened at special moments—it rained on the day the training started , It rained on the day of the preliminary test, it rained on the day of the re-examination written test, and it rained again today!Is this a sign of something?Is sad, is tragic, is joy, is it? ... I have always liked rainy days, the delicate melancholy in the rain, and the dusty tranquility in the rain.I forced myself to be relieved and started the experiment.
