From Hengzhong to Tsinghua University

Chapter 7 (6)
When we were in Hengzhong, everyone was fighting for their dreams, time was tight, tasks were heavy, and pressure was high.Every day is full of white papers flying all over the sky, looking up to listen to lectures, and bowing to do questions, it seems that the movements of youth are frozen in the monotonous up and down.Every day we are desperately digesting the knowledge taught by the teacher, the geometry problems that cannot be solved, the number sequences that cannot be calculated, the single-choice choices that are always wrong, the composition topics that are always off-topic, and the circles. The wrong rotation and revolution, the back-and-forth and confused national policies of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, the state system and political system that killed countless brain cells with tongue-twisting words constitute our youth.In a life that seems to be arranged so that there is no spare time, I always feel lonely, which is a longing in my heart.I have some doubts in my heart but I can't communicate with others to resolve them. My classmates are busy doing their own things, so I can't waste other people's time to chat with you.So I have my own record book, a small 64-carat candy house book, which records my mood and reflections in the third year of high school.When I was in the third year of high school in Hengzhong, I was under a lot of pressure. I had many thoughts in my heart and had nowhere to go. I was very lonely.So this book became the object of my confidant. I would think a lot about how to study, how to learn more actively and happily, and how to make myself an active learner rather than a passive recipient.

I think the biggest difference between humans and machines is that we feel lonely and we reflect.I believe that every child in Hengzhong will feel lonely and have nowhere to go. This loneliness may come from your inner confusion and confusion.I am entangled in whether such efforts will be fruitful, entangled in the end whether to continue, entangled in whether some stubborn ideas are not favored by the teacher or whether to go my own way, and entangled in whether the distant longing in my heart can be realized.And I think that loneliness is the state that a strong person and a successful person should have.You should have a small space for your own independent thinking. In this space, you can reflect on yourself, what you have learned, and the way forward.

When you have the state of mind of "going up to the west building alone without words, the moon is like a hook", you may wish to reflect more. The loneliness at this moment may be the moment when you decide your future path.

[-]. The carved railings and jade masonry should still be there, but the red face has changed
Already a junior, thinking about yesterday, it seems that he was still the freshman with ponytail, jeans and backpack, who was curious about everything.But now, I can only lament that time is a butcher's knife in the already familiar Yanyuan.

Thinking about the three years of growing up in Peking University, the deepest imprint left by Hengzhong on me is the vigorous fighting spirit like weeds and the diligence that forced myself to a dead end.In fact, when you come to Peking University, everyone has a halo on their heads. No one is more genius or smarter than anyone else. This is an era that does not talk about who is a genius. This is an era that sees who works harder and pays more attention.I majored in English, because Hebei’s college entrance examination does not take listening comprehension, and the English we learn in high school is actually more about teaching you how to answer papers.So when I first arrived, I was devastated. The classmates around me were either from high school foreign language schools or had stayed in the United States for a few years, or they had participated in various English speech competitions since childhood.And as a person who even has problems with listening and pronunciation, I couldn't understand the whole English teaching when I was in class, and I didn't dare to speak to the foreign teacher.At this time, I closed my eyes in despair, but I thought that I came out of Hengzhong. Three years of life in Hengzhong taught me: I can do what others can do, and I can do what others cannot. Still can do it."Diligence can make up for one's weakness" in front of Lanyue Tower has always been the slogan that motivates me to move forward, so I get up at 6 o'clock every morning, read English and listen to English by the Weiming Lake at 6:7, enter the library at [-]:[-], and go to bed an hour before going to bed at night Listening is my university.

I have never been a smart person, but I can work very hard.I will record in get out of class, organize the recording after class, and complete the notes that I don’t understand and can’t remember; I go to the library when I’m free, look up words in textbooks, and read books on humanities and social sciences to change my mood when I’m tired; go early on weekends Occupies the sunny desk in the library, where I read English materials and listen to English public classes; I keep a diary in English on the computer every day, which can be regarded as getting used to an English way of thinking; I can find a language partner and go out once or twice a week Communicate and interact with language partners; switch your mobile phone and computer to English mode, and force yourself to see English every day.

Now, although I am writing essays and papers, I still have poor words and have to revise and revise for several days, but I take a foreign professor around the campus to be an interpreter, watch English movies without subtitles, and naturally communicate with foreign teachers. up.Although I know that these are nothing to those who have a high level of English, but I know how much hard work I have gone through to transform myself from a rookie to the current young eagle.

"The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but Zhu Yan has changed." Time is wasted by time, but what is hard to polish is heart.Nothing can hold up to persistent effort, as long as you persevere.

[-]. Flowers bloom on Moshang, and they can return slowly
When I read the phrase "the flowers on Moshang bloom, but they can return slowly", my heart felt inexplicably hot.This is a letter written by a man who misses his wife who went home to visit her relatives and hopes that she will return home soon.When the wife read this poem, she burst into tears.

When I read this poem, I couldn't calm down for a long time, and I thought of Hengzhong who had bid farewell to me for three years.Hengzhong has accumulated too much of my joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys. Here, I have had the joy of being the first in my grade, and I have also experienced more than 100 miserable defeats; Sprinkle every inch of grass and trees; here, I once had the experience of being depressed and uncomfortable hiding in the playground and crying all the time; here, I used to discuss parallel time and space with my friends.Hengzhong has carried the hardest struggle in my youth, and also given me the courage and hard work I need to keep going.

In Yanyuan, I enjoy the washing brought to me by this most beautiful campus.I listened to the teachings of masters, whether it was the rise of great powers or appreciation of Kunqu opera, whether it was European music in the romantic period or ancient Chinese bureaucracy; I wandered in the vast sea of ​​books in the library; Meng Jinghui's "Red Rose and White Rose"; I read it in the morning by the Weiming Lake, and I took a walk under the Boya Tower.And I know that everything I can have in Yanyuan today was bought with the sweat and tears shed in Hengzhong back then.

Whenever I encounter any difficulties or setbacks in Peking University, I always calm down and let my thoughts drift back to Hengzhong.Because only by putting my heart back in that place can I draw in all the positive energy I need to move forward fearlessly.

"The flowers on Moshang bloom, but they can return slowly."My heart always returns to balance, because I know that there is the positive energy I need here.The flower that blooms here is my favorite sunflower, because it always puts its roots deep into the dark soil and looks up at the bright sun.

cherish everything, enjoy possession

It has been a year since I entered Tsinghua Garden, and I have gradually become familiar with everything in this garden, and I have begun to enjoy the leisure and busyness of the garden.

I still remember that on the first day of school, just after meeting the new students in the class, the top student in Heilongjiang (I learned about it later) couldn't wait to ask us, "Who is from Hengshui?" In the communication of classmates, once it is mentioned that I am from Hengzhong, I will inevitably be asked various questions, or be worshiped, or admired.

And I also remember that when I graduated from junior high school, when my friends learned that I was going to Hengzhong to study, they all wrote me in their classmate records, "Go to that purgatory and 'enjoy'." Since I have never lived in school, I just entered Hengzhong When I was a student, I also had various discomforts, but I gradually discovered that in Hengzhong, it is actually a very simple thing to get good grades.Maybe it's because life is relatively simple, as long as you calm down, calm down, and steadily complete the tasks assigned by the teacher, it is not difficult to rank among the best.But now, it is difficult to find such a quiet environment and a quiet state of mind.

Indeed, in Hengzhong, sometimes everyone complains because of the strict school system, but now I really understand that sentence, "Hengzhong will give you a lifelong education". The four characters of "excellence", but this word may have penetrated deeply into our bones, so that we can still pursue our dreams unswervingly and fight hard in this more competitive garden, because we know " After experiencing the wind and rain in Hengzhong, no storm can knock us down, because we already have the courage to pursue excellence!" Time drove me out of Hengzhong, but I learned to "cherish everything and enjoy possession".

People always have to move forward, and this garden of "gathering the world's talents in one place" really has too much connotation, and you need to taste and learn bit by bit with your heart.

In Tsinghua University, I cherish the "Academic Square", where experts from various departments actively answer questions and solve problems for you every night; in Tsinghua University, I cherish "SRT", where children with common ideas can gather together and jointly turn their dreams into reality. Reality: In Tsinghua University, I cherish "various clubs", where people with common hobbies can learn skills and exchange ideas together.

Tsinghua University attaches great importance to the construction of class collectives. When we were freshmen, a very important task of the class leader and the league secretary was to strengthen the emotional communication between the classes.Although there are only four girls in our class, our relationship with boys is very good and harmonious.In the freshman year, every student in our class quickly integrated into this very loving group.The attendance rate of each activity in the class is over 90%. We have group activities together to discuss hot current affairs, go to Yanyuan to sing the Tsinghua school song together, go to Bigge to celebrate students’ birthdays together, play killing high until midnight, and of course, we also go to the group together Self-study questions and answers... In the last semester's evaluation, our class won the title of "School A League Branch" with its "unique" demeanor. This is an affirmation for each of us, and it is an affirmation for our big family.I feel very lucky to be able to meet such a group of friends and lifelong partners at the most important moment of life and the best years.

Cherish everything, enjoy what you have, no matter where you are...

belated memories

Don't want to say the "time flies" cliché, but it's true.It has been more than a year since I left Hengzhong, and I still often recall the unforgettable bits and pieces of Hengzhong during my time at Peking University.In fact, after graduating from Hengzhong, I have always wanted to write something to remind myself of the extraordinary three years, but after a long time, I discovered that everything left by Hengzhong will become more profound with time.

I remember Chinese teacher Wang Wenxia said: "What is education? Education is what is left after people have forgotten everything." Maybe I have only slowly and truly understood this sentence until now.

In the eyes of outsiders, Hengzhong may be a school with too strict management.There are too many doubts and rumors from the outside world that people have countless understandings of it.In college, whenever I introduced myself to others as a graduate of Hengzhong, everyone was full of astonishment, and someone would always ask me: "Do you really have to stand so tight when you run and exercise? Really? Do you want to endorse?" Everyone always thinks that Hengzhong is a school where there are only students who are like machine-doing machines. Students have endless homework and insurmountable discipline.In fact, for a high school where dozens of people are admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University every year, such doubts are not surprising.But I want to say that after really experiencing and experiencing the three years in Hengzhong, I can only express my gratitude to my alma mater.

The three years of high school must be full of challenges and hardships for everyone.From the first year of high school to the third year of high school, I also gradually exercised my will.From the loneliness of being far away from parents at the beginning, the unsuitability of the learning environment, to the gradual improvement of grades, to the extreme instability under the pressure of the third year of high school, and finally the active adjustment and good grades when the college entrance examination was approaching, these processes are really amazing. long.Along the way, because of the company of teachers, family members, and friends, I was able to face all failures and blows so strongly.I don't want to say too many empty words, because those seemingly gorgeous words may not be what everyone wants to hear.I think the most plain and simple language seems to be able to describe my mental journey from Hengzhong to Peking University more truly.

[-]. You can because you believe you can
When I was in the first year of high school, there was a student in our class who was the top student in the high school entrance examination in Hengshui City (she was admitted to Tsinghua University later).Her grades were always good in every test, and I didn't think she was studying in the classroom longer than me (I was the last one to leave the classroom for dinner at almost noon at that time), but my grades never improved.One day I asked her if there was any good way to learn, and I remember she said: "You can, because you believe you can." It's true, if you don't believe in yourself, then who will believe in you.The level difference between the students in the class is actually not much, don't think that you are inferior to XX.Only by believing in yourself can you have the courage to face failures and setbacks, and you can make the teacher think that you have the ability to improve.

To be honest, although I set Peking University as my ideal university at the time, most of my test scores did not reach that level, and the top students in my grade were always the enduring top students in the class.But I just persevered and always took Peking University as my goal. I believe in myself, I believe that hard work will definitely pay off, and I believe that one day I can surpass others, no matter whether people pay attention to me or not, no matter whether others look at me with contempt or indifference .

During the third year of high school, my grades fluctuated greatly.Especially after being divided into classes and changing classmates and teachers, I have a lot of discomfort.There was only one month between the two exams. I ranked around 80 in one grade, but I ranked over 800 in the next time.But I didn't feel too upset. It seemed that I was already mentally prepared, and I even had a funny tone when I talked to my teachers and family.Because I believe that this is not the college entrance examination.Since I have the strength to take the 80th place in the exam, I believe that it is not my ability that is a problem, and I believe that I can correct my mentality and method.In fact, the results of the college entrance examination are my best results in the third year of high school.

[-]. I want to go to Peking University
In the summer vacation of the second year of high school, I visited Peking University, which was the first time I came to Peking University.In Ximen, I took a photo standing under the words "Peking University".Later, I posted this photo on my desk, and I always look at it when I leave my seat every day.

I opened the "plan book" issued by the school when I was in the third year of high school. When I was 156 days away from the college entrance examination, I would write down the word "Peking University" heavily on the bottom of the paper every day before returning to the dormitory. Whether it is good or bad, I persisted until the last day of the college entrance examination.No matter what kind of difficulties I encountered during the day's study, and no matter how tired or bored I was, when I wrote down the words "Peking University" seriously, I knew that I could not give up, and I could not give up easily.At that time, "I want to go to Peking University" seemed to become a symbol in my heart, supporting me to the end.

I still remember that in the last few months before the college entrance examination, every day in the class, students would tell their target universities, competitors, or their mottos in front of the whole class before class. The date was decided by everyone.At that time, I chose May 5th, and I prepared for it for a long time.I stood on the podium and expressed my ideals in front of the teacher and the whole class.Now I still remember that my last sentence was like this: "I don't want after the college entrance examination, I point to the photos of those who were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University and say to others 'this person is from our class', what I want to say is 'This person is me'." What seemed a distant dream at that time has really come true now.

Three. Diligence can make up for one's weakness is a good training
I have to admit that I am not a smart person, and I am not the kind of student who can learn everything from one example to another.There are many smart "geniuses" in the class, and there are too many people who spend the same time every day but can do more questions and do better than me.Every year, the school invites seniors who have graduated to come back to introduce their learning experience. Every time I hear them say that they have not entered the top 30 of the grade, and they have reached the lowest point of their grades, I always feel that these are simply geniuses. irony.An atypical science student like me, a girl who is not good at mathematics, physics and chemistry, really feels that it is a bit difficult to take classes or do problems.But I always believe that hard work can make up for one's weakness.After self-study every night, I try my best to do a few more questions in the classroom, summarize a lot, then lock the door of the classroom, and then run back to the dormitory quickly.But it doesn't mean that you just rely on recklessness. After all, everyone will work hard in the third year of high school. The most important thing is efficiency and your concentration when studying.
