From Hengzhong to Tsinghua University

Chapter 9 (8)
After I passed the college entrance examination and was labeled as the glittering and enviable Tsinghua University, I was asked countless times: "How did you get into Tsinghua University? Are Tsinghua University all nerds?" "Every time I smile, I don't know how to answer such a question.

Finally, in a course called Chinese Communication in the first semester of my freshman year, my professor Bai Yanqing said: "You guys, those kids who got into Tsinghua University, are not nerds, but in the game of the college entrance examination, the rules of the game A master." Teacher Bai Yanqing is a visiting professor at the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University, and he is from the University of International Business and Economics.Before coming to Tsinghua University, he was full of curiosity about Tsinghua students. After four years of teaching, he finally came to the above conclusion.The moment I heard it, there was a sense of comfort that suddenly became clear, and the clouds opened and the moon was bright.

The one year in Tsinghua was not long, but it was enough to dilute my feeling about the college entrance examination.I think, I would rather plant a seed of yearning, hope and grasp of the general direction of the college entrance examination in the hearts of high school students now, rather than focusing on specific and subtle learning methods.

Tsinghua Garden is not a small garden, but it has boundaries after all.The amazement and curiosity that I had just arrived at this garden will soon be diluted.And at this time, the real charm of this garden finally came out.The most cherished and admirable thing about Tsinghua University is its extremely rich resources.When you are irritable, go to the old library to read books and tease the magical cat; when you are depressed, go to a lecture you like, and look forward to the dazzling sparks of those wise men's thoughts colliding with yourself; Or take a walk in the Bauhinia playground to enjoy the charm of the night; when you want to go crazy, call a few friends, have a good meal, walk around every corner of the imperial capital, and try to see every style of it.

The magic here is that she made me understand what choice is.My homeroom teacher Li Dan once said something that I still remember in a class meeting at the beginning of the freshman year. She said that life is never what we can imagine in advance, but when you get there, you just let it go Finally, when you look back at your own path, you find, ah, how different my life is now from what I imagined at the beginning, there are completely two paths.But what does that matter, I am very happy now, I am living well.Teacher Li Dan once wanted to be a successful professional, but later, when she graduated, she caught up with the crisis and the economic downturn, so she chose to study abroad, and later finished her Ph. Dean Qian Yingyi was recruited by the school, but she stayed in Tsinghua University in the end.It is indeed far from her dream, butwhocare! !In fact, we just need to know how to grasp our general direction. It is enough to know where we are going. As for how to get there, then we don't have to be obsessed.

In the same way, students who are going through the college entrance examination should be more clear about what they want, seriously think about their life assumptions and their own situation, and then they can become calm and indifferent, and throw away those unnecessary things. Anxiety and uneasiness, even if you did not do well in a certain mock test, were criticized by the teacher, dissatisfied with yourself, etc., when you understand what you are doing and what you are pursuing, you will know that they are not important.What matters is what you have gained in this process, whether you have tried your best in the college entrance examination, and whether your dream is still there.

It suddenly occurred to me that after the college entrance examination in 2011, I, like all college entrance examination candidates, faced the problem of filling in the application form.Before the results came out, I spent a long time thinking about what I really want to do.Combining my hobbies, talents, and employment trends, I am very firm in my idea of ​​studying accounting.No matter how this major is evaluated in other people's minds, it suits me and I like it, that's enough.So after my college entrance examination results came out, I learned that although I was the tenth in the province, it was difficult for me to get into the accounting department of Peking University (Guanghua School of Management).Then I went to meet the admissions teacher of Tsinghua University. Fortunately, she happened to be an admissions teacher from Tsinghua SEM. I said to her, "I don't deny that, as a liberal arts student, I always have a feeling for Peking University." But I know better that I want to study in the accounting department, and I hope that Tsinghua University can give me a chance. But if I can’t enter the accounting department, I don’t think I should consider Tsinghua to study, but choose some other opportunities.” I am very firm in my dreams.I remember Teacher Liu at that time said to me, can I give you an answer tomorrow?But we met again that afternoon. She gently embraced me and said to me: "We really like children who have ideas like you, so Tsinghua welcomes you!" Teacher Liu told me that she saw She has been told by too many people that as long as she can enter Tsinghua University, it does not matter what department she is in. She feels that everyone should have their own persistence and dreams.Of course, such a result, in addition to my persistence, is also related to the backing of my good grades at the time, but no matter what, dreams are very important, and it is very important to persevere in your dreams.There will be no pies in the sky, as long as you fight for it and stick to yourself, you may get what you want.

After entering Tsinghua University, facing such a place full of great talents, I also felt inferior and hesitated. Soon I gritted my teeth, put on my own armor, and moved forward unyieldingly.From a delicate girl to a minister and detachment leader who can be independent, only I can taste the hardships I have gone through and the happiness I have tasted.

Thank you for the old days that I can't go back, and those who have accompanied me during this time.I miss Hengzhong, where I once struggled, and everyone and every tree there.No matter when, when I go back there, there is always a touch of warmth, never far away.

Reminiscing about the youth we walked together
Class 388 Dong Hui

Admitted to Peking University in 2012
"Before I came to Hengzhong, I never thought of loving her."

On June 2011, 6, when I came to Hengzhong, I was still warned in my mind about the "Hengzhong school rules" that I had heard before, such as "no laughing in the corridor" and "boys and girls are not allowed to talk". In the classroom, I realized that I was late.During the college entrance examination, I entered the examination room with an empty head and was calm and composed, but now I am very nervous about the upcoming senior year.At that time, I was absolutely pessimistic about tofu running exercises, getting up at 29:05, 30 minutes for lunch, four consecutive days of exams, etc., but today I saw the so-called "Hengzhong work and rest table" that was spread wildly. The senior said, "Where is this?" While typing on the keyboard, he thought of the youth that we thought was in jeopardy but was not abandoned by the two sacks of test papers. Instead, it grew densely and flourished.

In September of that year, the welcome poster on the back blackboard had been wiped clean, and replaced with "Peking University and Tsinghua University, I would rather have a kindness", which was really majestic and majestic.The boys and girls signed their names under the heroic words, feeling vaguely in their hearts how much bloody effort was required behind this action, and they might have a moment of tragic emotion.That was the moment when a teenager's shoulders approached the future and even held the sky.In ordinary life, they returned to the appearance of children, entangled with whom to write their names on the signature column in Qingbei.

That fall, I suffered many injuries, fell ill, violated many disciplines, and was called by many teachers to take turns talking.I sighed and scratched my head, but the note from my best friend came to the right.While scolding me for not studying hard, she comforted me that I am fine and everything will pass.

That winter, my grades slipped badly. I was one or two hundred in the first grade. Before I realized it, the little girl I was close to was already worried. She frowned and told me that your score in the last test has already surprised me quickly. I dropped my jaw on the ground, do you want me to really drop my jaw this time?So cold but I still laughed.

In the spring of that year, I was infected with chickenpox and went home for half a month. When I came back again, Feb saw that I hadn’t said anything, and came over and slapped a stack of letters on my desk.I opened it and saw "Why haven't you come back" at the end of the letter. They have the same sentence pattern and similar positions, standing in a row like soldiers waiting for my inspection.My heart was suddenly wet, and I shook it as if water would drip out.

Then a year passed.During that year, I was so grateful for my luck.I come to class every day with a feeling of "being loved", and I think of "cherishing blessings" very strongly when I am in class.There is no story about my admission to Peking University. My foundation is not good, and my first-year college entrance examination scores were average.I don't work hard, I come in late and leave early every day, and I get stuck in the classroom with messy hair.I lack fighting spirit, and when I hear Brother Lizhi standing on the podium and shouting impassionedly, I will roll my eyes at him.The only thing that is positive and beneficial and can be shown off from time to time may be a calm and digestible attitude towards homework self-help weekly test and monthly test rankings.When I got one or two hundred, I didn't feel the pressure was overwhelming, and I had enough understanding and trust in myself and the future.Every time I hear my mother struggling with my grades on the phone, I will tell her very patiently and lovingly: I'm fine.I know very well, and I will definitely do better next time.It’s not about comforting others and self-hypnosis, but I really think so. Now that I think about it, it should be called self-confidence.Senior sister said it well, true self-confidence does not need any support!
Leaving Hengzhong has already taken four major exams, 140 weekly tests, and 6 running exercises.As for the distance, it can be calculated with a test paper of 8 kilometers or a height of one meter.Far away from the inspirational slogans refurbished like couplets on the main teaching building, the former homeroom teacher would only smile and say that skipping classes is not good when he knows you are skipping classes, and will never come up with a disciplinary notice again.I think of the afternoon when I left on June 300, when papers were flying all over the sky and the school was full of crowds. Everyone passed by and said goodbye, and then they would never appear in this school as classmates again.And it took me as long to walk the famous [-]-meter alley that is blocked once a year from the Hengzhong school gate to the main street, and it took me as long as returning to Shijiazhuang from Hengshui.Perhaps the real future is long, always leaving the scene in such a hurry, without crying or sending goodbye cards.I know our days will be long.We will meet, we will hug, we will see each other grow old, and when we see the same article, we think of our day and today.But there will no longer be us and you who are in the senior year of Hengzhong.

And Hengzhong will always be there, together with its alley leading to the school gate, which is always echoing with the hawking of various dialects, together with the students inside the school gate who are cursing a few papers that have been increased by one centimeter in height while frantically brushing their questions, together with those Worried parents on the other end of the phone line, and teachers pedaling their bicycles to and from get off work on dark, empty streets at five in the morning and eleven at night.That year, counting the countdown to the college entrance examination in the hall on the first floor, I thought that graduation was far away, but today, facing the reality of going my separate ways, I realized that what was far away was back then.

"Today sharpen the sword, determined to show the edge; tomorrow duel, I will be the king of the heroes." That year, we went to the senior year of high school together.

During my days in Hengzhong

Class 400 Zheng Xiaoyi
Admitted to Tsinghua University in 2011
I can't think of any literary titles, and I can't find a suitable tone to write about my Hengzhong, to describe my life in Hengzhong, to write about my happy and sad days in Hengzhong.

I can also remember that on the first day of school, I was the last one to arrive in the classroom, and I whispered "report", and strange and sharp eyes from all over the room came to me.I silently walked to the end of the classroom and found a seat recklessly.perturbed?Fear?In the first class meeting, I kept my head down, listening to the passionate speech of the teacher and the confident speeches of the students.At that time, I thought, this is Hengzhong, I came here, and my life will start again.

Choose your own path, even if no one is optimistic about it, even if no one agrees to it by accident, my student number was No. 1 when I entered the school. Here, the student number is a more powerful warning than the transcript.Three months of study in the science experiment class, although it is not the most outstanding group, but stumbles are passable, and the grades have always been in the top 100 in the grade.When the head teacher chatted with me, he said, "You should choose science. Your grades in science are quite good. Maybe you don't have that much advantage in liberal arts."During the small vacation for liberal arts volunteers, everyone I met tried to persuade me to study science, as if discussing it.From my heart, I prefer liberal arts, geography, politics and history, which can make me feel at ease.And in science, like a wood that will never understand, it has been copying various solutions without drawing inferences from one example, let alone innovation.At the beginning, I was still trying my best to argue with the people around me that the liberal arts test is thinking, not rote memorization as you think.Later, I was shaken, and everyone looked down on me, maybe I was too rebellious.Finally, after shutting myself in the room for a long time, I decided to gamble this time, regardless of what others think.So, I became a liberal arts student.

There may be rewards for paying, but there will be no rewards for not paying

Unexpectedly, after being divided into classes, it is still No. 1.In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that these achievements left over from history can't explain anything, especially in a new competitive environment.However, my stress was increasing day by day.Worries about rankings outweigh thirst for knowledge.Sure enough, after several exams, the "halo" of No. 1 no longer belongs to me.Unexpectedly sad, but relieved.Read books a little bit, listen to lectures a little bit, organize notes a little bit, and use the little bit of time to find scattered problems.

After learning bit by bit like this for a long time, I thought I would get out of the trough, but the fact is that even if I don't have the psychological burden of the past, I am still regressing.That was the first time I cried for the score in Hengzhong, or for my own efforts.That was also the first time I took the initiative to communicate with the teacher. She told me that it is easy to slide down from a position, but it takes a long, long time to climb up again.There may be rewards for paying, but there must be no rewards for not paying.Don't question the current efforts, but think about how to make the efforts not in vain.I have savored this sentence for a long time.In the end, I decided to persevere, no matter what the result would be, at least give myself an explanation.

Anything is possible, believe in change, believe in yourself

It is said that the second year of high school is a turning point, and the third year of high school is a sprint period.As mentioned above, my sophomore year was a low period.At the beginning of the third year of high school, I may have adapted to the fast pace faster than others, so my grades were better.I passed the exam several times in a row, and it was not bad.I get up at 5:5 every morning, and I can stand on the playground and endorse at 35:4.At noon, I can take 5 or [-] minutes to eat, and then run to the dormitory to lie on the bed by stepping on the lunch break bell.You can also do problems and read books quietly during class breaks.Evening self-study can concentrate fully and no longer be in a daze.Before, I listened to many presentations by outstanding students, watched them recall the days of struggle with happiness on their faces, and imagined the scenes of running in classrooms, dormitories, and cafeterias.The admiration at that time can also be given to myself now.At that time, every sentence was impossible, and in the end, under the pressure of the college entrance examination, all of them were realized one by one.

At the 200-day swearing-in meeting, I received the oath. At that time, I was still very confused, not knowing what was the most suitable state for the college entrance examination. On the 100th day, another plenary swearing-in meeting, I remember that I made every word sonorous and powerful. For 100 days, people who don't work hard will know how to work hard, and those who work hard will do their best. 50 days, no longer counting down the days, no longer thinking about how many unfinished tasks there are, just focus on a question in hand, and only remember a knowledge point in front of you.Grasp a little, and I will change.Over time, I will definitely make a leap.I remember that the atmosphere in the two-day class of the college entrance examination was more relaxed than usual. A mentality of wanting to show results in the examination room is far more valuable than a nervous mentality.

How much slander you can withstand, how much praise you can withstand

In fact, I didn't have much impression of Tsinghua University and Peking University since I was a child.It's just that teachers and parents are saying, this is a good school, and this should be your goal.What is a little touching is that the school regularly holds the "Qingbei Student Reporting Meeting", where the seniors and sisters seem to have all the envy and hope of others.At that time, I thought in the audience, I will sit on it one day and share my story with them.Slowly, I will also pay attention to the information of Tsinghua University and Peking University, and find that the knowledge and humanistic atmosphere here are unmatched.So, I have a Qingbei dream.

When I entered Tsinghua University, I had to mention the self-recruitment process at that time.In the first half of the third year of high school, my academic performance was not bad, and I also served as the chairman of the student union, which gave me a valuable opportunity to be recommended by the principal of Tsinghua University.The exam at Tsinghua went well, and I got 35 extra points.After returning to school, I heard some bad comments one after another by chance.At that time, my psychological defense was very weak, and I couldn’t help but feel uneasy when I heard other people’s discussions, and sometimes I would think wildly in class.It was also during that time that I was constantly being asked questions in class, and I was often speechless.Fortunately, there are friends and teachers.Small notes of encouragement and warm words made me no longer afraid of the irony of a few people, and made me want to prove myself with my strength.

As the college entrance examination approached, I also ruled out all the strange psychological interference.Like a road, I walked towards an end step by step.Fortunately, I also stood at another starting point and entered Tsinghua University from Hengzhong.

After writing this, you may feel that I am a person who values ​​grades very much, and that the ups and downs of grades are nothing.However, the score seems to me to be an affirmation of hard work for a period of time.I don't love grades, but I love the process of fighting for them.
