From Hengzhong to Tsinghua University

Chapter 6 (5)
I know that you are now full of yearning for a wonderful university life, and all you want is to escape from the horrible environment in Hengzhong, but when I want to tell you, there is still a huge obstacle before you start a wonderful university life, that is college entrance examination.Not to scare you, you must be fully aware of the cruelty of the college entrance examination, because it is very likely that all your efforts will go to waste and your beautiful dreams will be wiped out.The college entrance examination is a watershed that will determine most of your future life, but the college entrance examination is something without any human touch.Of course, telling you all this is not to make you full of fear of the college entrance examination, but to have a sense of crisis at all times. When you think of the college entrance examination, you dare not lose your mind for a minute in class; When you think about the college entrance examination, you don’t dare to simply paste and paste when writing and correcting mistakes; when you think about the college entrance examination, you don’t dare to go out to chat with students in other classes during recess.In fact, three years in high school is really not long. You may only study for 1 days in school. Every day passes, you will take a step closer to the college entrance examination, until you are in front of the college entrance examination, until tomorrow is the college entrance examination. Are you afraid? ?Do you have enough self-confidence?Do you dare to say that all the knowledge points in the textbook are in my head?Can you walk into the college entrance examination room calmly?Always thinking about June 1000th and June 6th, thinking that you are already sitting in the college entrance examination room, do you still dare to waste time?I believe everyone has heard the song "First Dream": the first dream, held tightly in your hands, how can you return halfway to the place you want to go the most?Hengzhong has given us goals, given us dreams, and made our ordinary life have infinite possibilities.I believe that no high school can make the implementation of goals so operable like Hengzhong.The comparison of data after each exam and the posting of the honor roll are all tests of the goals.However, after careful school arrangements again and again, after writing goals on paper again and again, does each of us still have that original dream in our hearts?The goal is not a promise on paper, not an empty slogan, but a dream deeply imprinted in my heart.In the second semester of the third year of high school, my grades also experienced fluctuations. I worked hard but regressed again and again, which made me farther and farther away from Peking University, but every time I filled out my goals, I never changed: first in grade, Peking University.How can a failure in an exam change my 7-year dream!Don't take into account other people's sighing expressions, don't think about your own sad vanity, I just want to be admitted to the ideal university, even if it is the reality of the blows again and again, so what, in the minutes and seconds before the college entrance examination is over, as long as I have Goal, as long as I fight for my goal, I will be one step closer to my dream!Don't be frightened by your current terrible grades, think about the girl in "Undefeated Flowers" who is going to enter Fudan University, think about the dark horse miracles created by previous seniors in the college entrance examination, do you still hesitate?Half a hundred miles away, are we going to miss our dreams because of the last few steps?This kind of pain is something we can't bear, and our parents are unwilling to accept it.Engrave your goal in your heart, it is a kind of commitment to yourself, believe in yourself, I will succeed!
I remember that there is such a sentence in Hengzhong's oath: Learning is my bounden duty.Especially in the second half of the third year of high school, this sentence has been most vividly interpreted.Study, study and study again, I'm afraid it's not enough to devote all the time to study. Where will there be idle things, idle thoughts and gossip?Someone once said that the study in the second half of the third year of high school is boring.Indeed, we will face numerous big and small exams, and we will complete endless homework.Many people will be annoyed, many people will run away, but those who really want to learn will never be tired.From now on, we should have such a consciousness in our minds, that is the countdown consciousness.How many days are there before the college entrance examination, and how many exams do I have?Maybe that number is so small that it makes your heart shudder, but when you think about it, fortunately, today is not the college entrance examination, and every day in the future can be used to prepare for the exam.So, spend every day as the last day before the college entrance examination. If tomorrow is the college entrance examination, would you still dare to do some sticking and pasting work in the long self-study?If tomorrow is the college entrance examination, do you still dare to walk slowly into the classroom and be unable to get into the state after dawdling?If tomorrow is the college entrance examination, would you still dare to sneak out during recess and gossip with your classmates?If tomorrow is the college entrance examination, do you still dare to joke with your classmates in the dormitory after turning off the lights at night?The dream is full, but the reality is very skinny.None of us have the guts to gamble our lives with more than 1000 days of slack. Such chips are too big, and such bets are too stupid.We are young, but we don't have the capital to squander our youth; we are smart, but we don't have to take risks.What we have to do, what we should do, is to use every minute and every second in the future to store ammunition and food, practice actual combat skills, and fight a war that can only be won and will definitely be won!
Regarding learning methods, if I were asked to talk about it in the third year of high school, I really couldn't say anything, because I never felt that I had any unique methods or miraculous tricks.But after the college entrance examination, when I reflected on my college entrance examination, I found that maybe I didn't realize that my learning method is my best learning method.In the third year of high school, some students consulted teachers and classmates in order to get a method, but after a few days, they ended hastily, thinking that this method was not effective and looking for another way.This kind of eagerness to learn is certainly admirable, but it has little effect.In the words of our old class: hard work makes results, hard work makes methods.If you do each set of questions seriously, if you calm down and analyze each exam, if you fulfill the teacher's requirements in a down-to-earth manner, if you implement every plan step by step, I don't believe that you can't find yourself Methods.When this method becomes your habit, when this method runs through your daily study, I believe, you will win.If I have to talk about a learning method, it is to have a serious learning attitude, to have a hard-working spirit, and to have a good study habit.Finally, I would like to give you a word: the one that suits you is the best, and the one that can persist is the most effective.

Although it has been more than three years, it is still difficult for me to think rationally when I think of Hengzhong, because there are the best three years of my life in it, and there are more than 1000 days and nights recorded there. There is my original dream engraved there, where my favorite teachers and classmates are there, and there is a symphony of blood and sweat composed by our teachers and students of the 09 class.The smile of victory is the most beautiful, let us work together for three years to realize our original dream!

A dream three or four years
Class 327 Wang Qi

He was admitted to Peking University in 2009, and was awarded the title of "Excellent Scholar" during his studies. During his university years, he was awarded a full scholarship from the European Union Erasmus program to exchange in Europe for half a year.

Recently, I have been busy with my internship and graduate studies, and I seem to have entered a state of isolation. Before I had time to look back on my college life, I suddenly went online and saw a photo posted by a classmate of Hengzhong, who was admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University in 2009. At that time, I was still a young girl with hairpins.It was as if I was pulled back to Hengzhong’s garden in the blink of an eye. I thought that three or four years later, the waves of the Yangtze River would push forward, and my alma mater and I had long forgotten each other, but I didn’t expect that the memories of those years were still within reach.When I saw the acceptance notice, I was hesitating whether I had been a "diving" old man for a long time or not to come out and write experience posts that might be outdated. Those who are on the edge of work can look at their three years of high school from a longer-term life perspective, and understand what a small habit and a small decision at that time mean to their future.So I decided to start writing something, counting it as my understanding and perception of my high school life after four years.

I remember when I first entered Peking University, it was very similar to the mood when I entered Hengzhong in the first year of high school.They all moved from a small place to a larger environment. I was surrounded by all kinds of talents in an instant when I was one of the best in the school, and the common problems of adaptation, pressure, and mentality adjustment that are common in entering a higher school came to my face.The problem is even more obvious at Peking University. "Wizards" with various experiences and backgrounds are everywhere, as if they are inferior to others in all aspects.Many former excellent students did not make a good start, and there are many examples of self-destruction and depression.Therefore, I am very fortunate to be able to get to where I am now. Whether it is in undergraduate study, overseas exchanges, postgraduate recommendation with top classmates, or internship work, I can maintain a confident and humble attitude that allows me to go all the way. Persevere, and this attitude is the lifelong wealth that Hengzhong has given me.

High pressure and high workload are the difficulties that almost everyone will encounter now. I interpret the application of a confident and humble attitude in the ability to resist pressure as the "deep dive" state that Hengzhong has always advocated.The pressure of high school is different from that of junior high school and university. The goals are clear, the competition is fierce, and the pressure is even more obvious. Coupled with the heavy course load, it is easy to create a frizzy and tense atmosphere.How to deal with this kind of high pressure and face up to three years of seemingly boring study life is related to the mentality and achievements of high school study.Up to now, I still remember the story of the penguin who dived deep and came ashore by buoyancy told by the head teacher in high school at the class meeting.This is like a spring, within a suitable range, the harder you press, the higher it will bounce, but many people only feel the pain of their own learning, but cannot see the brilliance of the accumulated energy when it explodes.Since that class meeting, I have always believed in the law of "deep diving". I feel that no matter how much pressure I am under now, no matter how much I learn and how tired I am, it is not useless, but for the future. One point, as if you can see that you can jump higher in the future.In my opinion, everything we do will have an impact on our lives. These impacts may be fast or slow, large or small, tangible or intangible, but they must exist.For example, knowledge of geography and history that people think is "useless" except for the college entrance examination will turn into the ability to read maps and explain when you travel someday in the future, knowledge of physics and chemistry will turn into common sense in life, etc.So even if we work hard sometimes but the results are not obvious, what we need to think about is whether the method we use is correct or not, and we should not doubt the law that the effort must be rewarded.Thinking about it this way, my mentality will be much better, and I feel that every effort I make will be full of meaning.Learning is not a painful process, unless we have been looking at it with a painful eye.With the undying hope for the goal, bow your head, bear the pressure, and work hard, only then can the pressure be turned into motivation and realize the real take-off in the future.

What we need to face with a confident and humble attitude is not only pressure and competition, but also the knowledge we have learned.When I first entered high school, I thought I was good at mathematics, physics and chemistry, but I did a mess in the first few homework assignments. Every time I had to look up my name on the report card, but I still remember that I was still stubborn. Because of the exam questions, I still felt that I was performing abnormally, and I didn't pay attention to it at all. I always felt that it was a piece of cake, and my grades became worse and worse.Later, I was very ignorant and cried, and didn't want to solve the problem. I just complained about my poor grades, as if I had just started a marathon and saw that I was falling behind at the beginning, so I got angry and withdrew from the race.Fortunately, with the advice of my parents at that time, I was able to return to the runway with a peaceful mind.What impressed me most was that during the first high school sports meeting not long after the start of school, when night fell, I walked to the school track alone, looked at the different starting points of different tracks, and thought in my heart, even if my starting point is different from others. Different, but that doesn't mean I'm not fast enough to keep up with others.I can bow my head bravely and humbly admit my shortcomings at the beginning, but I also have the confidence that I can definitely surpass others.During the three years of study in high school, I have always warned myself that in front of knowledge, I should bow my head to admit my shortcomings for those who are not good at it, and start from scratch, and strive to improve; Careful maintenance and constant replenishment.A solid foundation of knowledge is very important, and only those who are confident and humble about learning can absorb knowledge to the maximum and lay a solid foundation.Take the English language and literature I major in as an example. In high school and college, I have met students who are excellent in English who have experience in English competitions, going abroad, etc., and some of them are proud of themselves.Some people let down their vigilance because they started to outdo others, and dismissed the tasks left by the teacher, the accumulation of trivial word searches, and the reading of famous books. Those who start from a low level but keep working hard will come from behind.On the road of studying, no matter how far a person can go, he can always take another step forward and make new discoveries.

"Three people walk together, there must be my teacher." Confucius said this too much, and it became what we call "cliché", but its meaning is still important today.Leaving aside how we learn lessons from other people, first of all we should have a correct attitude towards our "genuine" teachers.It turned out that when I was in high school, I would hear all kinds of discussions about teachers. When I was a teacher in Beijing, I also found that students nowadays really pick their teachers even harder.But as the school has always emphasized, the number of teachers is limited, and it is difficult for students to adjust to each other. It is impossible to change teachers all the time, and students can only adapt to teachers.We often see examples where a classmate’s grades improve by leaps and bounds because he likes a certain teacher, and his grades decline if he doesn’t agree with a certain teacher. Critical.When I was in the third year of high school, I did my own way, especially in English. I always felt that my grades were always good, so I never doubted my learning methods.But as the number of questions gradually increased, my reading became more and more unable to keep up with the speed.The teacher suggested to me many times to try to use the method of fast reading to understand the general idea of ​​the article and then bring the questions back to the original text to find the answer, but I always disagreed. I insisted on reading the text carefully before doing the questions. The less, the confidence in the English test continued to decline, so I was willing to give it a try. Later, under the guidance of the teacher, I applied the fast reading method very freely, which not only accelerated the reading speed, but also saved a lot of time for doing the questions. The accuracy of the questions has been improved, and even my current English reading speed has benefited from the training in the third year of high school.Therefore, if a teacher can be a teacher, he must have a stronger ability than the students. After all, the students have not experienced the college entrance examination, but the teachers have extremely rich experience. Trust the teacher and discover the merits of the teacher. Gain more, take less detours, and make fewer mistakes.In front of the teacher, you must have your own thinking personality, and you must be able to listen to the teacher's opinions humbly and discuss with the teacher.

Looking back on the past few years, I really began to feel that growing up was really not easy.However, I have always believed that it is a good thing for young people to suffer a little. After Hengzhong's experience, they have a good ability to resist pressure and a good attitude towards life, so that they can persist in the fiercer competition in the future.A talent needed by the society is by no means a proud talent who will not bow his head, but a progressive person who is confident, ambitious, able to hold his head high, and knows when to bow his head.Pushkin's sentence is also very old, but I still like it, no matter what kind of hardships we encounter, "and what has passed will become a kind nostalgia".

After many years, it should be a dream come true in Yanyuan

Late at night, it's 2 o'clock again.Revise the paper until now.

Tiptoely turn off the desk lamp and computer, the roommate has already fallen asleep, climbed into bed, set the alarm clock, 7 o'clock in the morning.This is my life status as a junior in the second week of school.University is far from as good as it was when I was struggling to break free from the crazy cage of high school.Have you ever noticed ballerinas' bruised toes?Have you noticed that the poplar that grows tallest and absorbs the essence of heaven and earth has the most firmly rooted?Now I understand that in every stage of life, excellence and value come from unremitting struggle!
[-]. Going up to the west building alone without words, the moon is like a hook
Sometimes when I am alone, I compare the life in Balance with the life in Peking University, and I feel that one thing has not changed, that is loneliness.

The loneliness of a scholar, the loneliness of a chaser.The loneliness I am talking about is not autistic or unsociable. I will sing songs with my friends until dawn, and I will also go out to have dinner and chat.The loneliness I'm talking about is in my heart, a loneliness that belongs to my own world.
