In June 2018, outside a college entrance examination room in Ningxia, countless reporters were waiting for the end of the exam, hoping to ask the candidates about their feelings about the college entrance examination.
Finally, a reporter "catched" a young man who had just left the examination room and asked a regular question: "How do you think the exam is difficult?"
But unexpectedly, this young man who looked dark and had a baby fat spoke wildly: "Just this junk question, I want to stop me from working."
Who is this arrogant young man? How was his final result? Did he really go to work later?
In order to make up for tuition, the construction site moved steel bars
In 2000, the Ningxia young man Shan Xiaolong was born, but his parents were a little worried. Because their family is poor and they already have two children, the pressure of life is too great.
Shan Xiaolong's father is very optimistic. He knows that poor children can only rely on knowledge to change their destiny. He was determined to give out the children and bring hope to this poor family. The difficulties in this are not worthy of being told by outsiders.
Because the situation of the Shan family was so bad, the village also applied for subsidies for them. But the relief from others is only temporary. If you want to change your destiny, you still have to rely on yourself.
So, Shan Dad and Mom would go to the village to help and earn some money. It is like this that life is getting better and better and more money for the children.
A few years ago, Shan Xiaolong's sister was admitted to Ningxia Yinchuan Medical University, which undoubtedly gave Shan's father a shot of heart. Shan Guide said optimistically:
"The seedlings of our Shan family are still good. They are all good seedlings for studying. Since my sister can pass the exam, then Xiaolong will definitely do it too."
With this belief, Shan Xiaolong studied hard and finally got admitted to Tsinghua University.
2018 Ningxia College Entrance Examination, Shan Xiaolong came out of the examination room and he was full of confidence. When it comes to Shan Xiaolong's grades, his teachers and classmates unanimously praised it. When it comes to Shan Xiaolong's personality, he is the most down-to-earth study and not ostentatious.
left the examination room and said, "I want to go to work." It seems to be arrogant and naughty, but it is actually something I have planned long ago. Shan Xiaolong had already made up his mind that in order to collect the university tuition, he would go to the construction site to work.
Shan Xiaolong's elder brother is also working on the construction site. Over the years, the elder brother has given him a lot of financial and emotional support. Therefore, when he considered working part-time, Shan Xiaolong thought of the construction site.
On the construction site, Shan Xiaolong’s main job is to carry steel bars and shelves.
A steel bar is an average of 20 kilograms and ten meters long. Workers who are just starting to move steel bars are easily injured without skills. This is one of the hardest jobs on the construction site. But Dan Xiaolong likes it very much because it makes a lot of money.
Relying on his young body, Dan Xiaolong held on for a while, and he increasingly realized the difficulty of his elder brother: heavy physical activities, vicious sunshine, and no rest time.
Dan Xiaolong is like every middle-aged man on the construction site. He is so tired that he can't straighten his waist. Dan Xiaolong's face becomes darker and darker, but his eyes become stronger and stronger.
Dan Xiaolong doesn’t even want to eat meat dishes. He has very low requirements for food, as long as he can fill his stomach. Occasionally, Dan Xiaolong would also think that there are so many tuition and living expenses in Beijing, and he may not be able to earn even if he works for two months.
Over the years, his family has done too much for him. If he doesn't study, he can only work directly to alleviate the financial pressure of his family. He once wanted to give up. After leaving the exam room, the "work after the exam" is a joke, but it may be a secret thought in his heart.
These days, Shan Xiaolong saw the hard work of his elder brother on the construction site with his own eyes, and personally experienced the days of carrying more than 600 steel bars every day to make some hard money.He secretly swore in his heart that he must study hard, stand out, and give his family a better life!
th 24th is a rare rest day on the construction site, and Shan Xiaolong received a courier. He opened it with excitement, which was Tsinghua's admission letter.
Dan Xiaolong's elder brother washed his hands and showed them to the workers around him with the admission letter. Suddenly, there was a burst of applause.
The workers showed simple smiles and congratulated Shan Xiaolong on his admission to Tsinghua University, which means that he can leave the construction site and there will be unlimited possibilities in the future.
At the same time, Dan Xiaolong became popular. The contrast between interviews between being admitted to Tsinghua University and Shan Xiaolong has attracted countless people to pay attention to this person. Shan Xiaolong applied for a tuition loan with the help of kind-hearted people.
Charity in Xiji County, Ningxia, heard about Shan Xiaolong’s experience and even took the initiative to come to the door, expressing its willingness to fund Shan Xiaolong’s tuition fee of 4,000 yuan every year. All of these greatly alleviated Shan Xiaolong's economic pressure.
The 2,000 yuan earned by Dan Xiaolong moving steel pipes and working as a shelf worker was used by him to supplement his family income. Many people praise Shan Xiaolong as a poor son, who can maintain a learning mind in a poor environment and have unparalleled vision.
In fact, Shan Xiaolong is not born to love learning. Some people say: The process of learning is anti-human. Although it is a bit exaggerated, the learning process is full of boredom, and there are countless failures and countless temptations.
And everything he has now is inseparable from the cultivation of his family.
The grace of cultivation, the great family
The young Dan Xiaolong spent a happy time. Although his family was poor, Dan Guide never treated him badly. He couldn't bear to eat and wear, but spent all his money on Dan Xiaolong.
Because of its good nutrition, Dan Xiaolong grows tall and has strong energy, and has good grades in his studies. Shan Guide also attaches great importance to Shan Xiaolong's learning. When he was a child, Shan Xiaolong was playful and did not want to study.
Shan Guide brought him to the field and asked him to do his job, telling Shan Xiaolong: "If you don't study, you can only work hard!"
Shan Guide also often takes the initiative to communicate with Shan Xiaolong's teachers. It is precisely because of Shan Guide's active and positive attitude of hoping that his son will become successful that Shan Xiaolong's teachers are very concerned about his studies.
When Shan Xiaolong was in the third grade, his teacher found Shan Guide: "You are Shan Xiaolong's father, I want to talk to you about Shan Xiaolong's study."
Shan Guide was a little nervous and said anxiously : "Is it Xiaolong disobedient? Don't study seriously?"
heard the anxiousness in Shan Guide's speech, Shan Xiaolong's Chinese teacher comforted him repeatedly:
"No, Shan Xiaolong's academic performance is very good. I came to you to tell you that our primary school does not offer English courses. If Shan Xiaolong will definitely find it difficult to learn English when he goes to junior high school. He is a good seedling, and I am worried that he will not get into the ideal school in the future because of English. "
Dan Xiaolong's Chinese teacher's serious attitude suddenly infected Shan Guide: "Ah, what should I do? Teacher, what are you doing?"
Shan Xiaolong's teacher continued to say: "Now there are English classes in the primary schools in the town, and Shan Xiaolong can transfer to school."
Shan Guide was silent for a moment, and Shan Xiaolong's Chinese teacher sighed. He knew that the Shan family was not in good condition, but he had to say it for the sake of Shan Xiaolong's grades.
Fortunately, Shan Guide knew the importance of learning, so he thought about it and completed the transfer procedures for Shan Xiaolong. Shan Guide travels 30 miles a day, driving a motorcycle to send Shan Xiaolong to school.
The young Dan Xiaolong didn't understand why he had to transfer to the town. The sudden change of environment made him very uncomfortable. He didn't understand why his father had worked so hard and why he still had to learn English. All this was meaningless.
The father and son had a dispute over whether to go to the town to go to school. In the end, Shan Xiaolong could not resist his father and studied in the town for 4 years without any storm.
It was this hard study experience that laid a good foundation for Shan Xiaolong in English. During the high school entrance examination, he was admitted to the best junior high school in the local area.
After entering junior high school, Shan Xiaolong came into contact with more people and he began to envy life in big cities.
Seeing many people going out to work brightly and beautifully, they use new smartphones and wear beautiful shoes and clothes, thinking that they will go to work after studying anyway, Shan Xiaolong no longer focuses on studying.
This idea arose in Shan Xiaolong's mind. Once again, an uncle who was working outside was visiting Shan Xiaolong's house. He took the initiative to ask his uncle: "Can you take me out to work too?"
This uncle saw that Shan Xiaolong was tall and strong, and was a good seedling of working. He touched Shan Xiaolong's head and said: "Of course it can."
Shan Guide next to him was very angry, and regardless of whether the guests were not, he scolded Shan Xiaolong on the spot:
"You go out to work now, can you work for the rest of your life? What should I do if I can't work like me when I'm old?"
these words woke Shan Xiaolong up. From then on, he seemed to be enlightened, working hard and working hard in his studies, and no longer being tempted by external objects.
However, the financial pressure once again made Dan Xiaolong feel like he was withdrawing. Especially after being admitted to a key high school, seeing his father working so hard, he thought that if he stopped studying, he would not have to pay tuition fees, and going out to work could help his father reduce the burden.
or Shan Guide persuaded him to stop him and told him that the family was not in a difficult situation and that he had some savings over the years.
Dan Xiaolong was still a little hesitant, after all, his sister was also in college and the expenses were still relatively large. At this time, Shan Xiaolong's brother stood up, he quit his original job, and went to the construction site to work to provide assistance to his two younger siblings.
It is precisely because of the support and help of his family that Shan Xiaolong went to high school as he wished. After entering high school, Shan Xiaolong knew that he had the hope of the whole family. Faced with the temptation around him, he no longer envied, but maintained a calm attitude.
In the eyes of many high school students, Shan Xiaolong is worn out and very frugal. Many high school students use smartphones, and his mobile phone is still an old mobile phone that Shan Guide eliminated.
Many students in the city have good foundation and are smart. They can understand the questions that Shan Xiaolong can't figure out at a glance. Therefore, Dan Xiaolong can only work harder and learn with a stupid method.
In the eyes of many students, Shan Xiaolong is like a nerd, and he can only study every day, not a very cheerful person.
After being admitted to Tsinghua University, Shan Guide heard that there would be many social activities in the university and decided to buy a suit for Shan Xiaolong. He said to Shan Xiaolong: "Will take it yourself if you like."
Shan Xiaolong chose the one that suits him the most, and his family provided him with the most solid support. From today on, he will start a brand new life.
Simple family style, a brand new future
In September 2018, Shan Xiaolong's father and sister sent him to Tsinghua University to study. This day was Hui tribe 's Gurbang Festival . For him, the two most important days of life came together, and he was very happy.
Dan Xiaolong said:
"I have walked almost 10,000 steps today, which is almost the result of ten years. From step by step ten years ago to the present, I have seen this moment."
reporters think that after this child is admitted to Tsinghua University, he may face more pressure, may be shy, and may be nervous. But I saw that facing the camera, the boy still smiled simple and full of vitality.
He looked at the camera with a serious expression and said: "My name is Shan Xiaolong, I studied electronic information major."
For Shan Xiaolong, everything is so novel. The sudden attention did not embarrass him. He succeeded with his own efforts.
Dan Xiaolong's skin on the construction site has not yet turned white. He is wearing black-framed glasses, his face is sweaty, but his teeth are very white.
The reporter asked him, "Are you going to Beijing to adapt?"
He showed his white teeth and smiled silly: "It's a bit hot. It's hot here, and there are too many people here. If you eat, it's a little expensive here. But it's delicious."
In order to save money, he and his father lived in the dormitory of his fellow villager. I stayed here for two days before reporting to Tsinghua University. I heard that Beijing is expensive, so he and his father brought some water and cakes they usually eat from home.
cake and a bottle of mineral water were wrapped in a transparent plastic bag, and Shan Xiaolong showed it to the reporter. He said:
"This cake has been stored for a long time, and I don't want to waste it. This cake was left at dinner yesterday. I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I kept it in my bag."
Because I have experienced the difficulty of making money, he has to be extra frugal.
Dan Xiaolong also brought leather shoes and suits. When he was in college, there were many social activities. Dan Xiaolong showed his clothes to reporters because his senior sister said that suits in Beijing were very expensive, and Dan Xiaolong bought them with his father in his hometown.
The reporter praised his suit for being great and asked who chose it. He touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly, saying that he chose it himself.
For college life, he was very much looking forward to:
"I feel that such clothes are usually used in social occasions, like entering society, relatively high-end, like having a meeting. I think college life is freedom. College is to take the initiative to study."
reporter asked him: "You still have to work at home, right? Why do you have such good academic performance?"
Dad Shan lowered his head next to him, and Dan Xiaolong held the wheat, and his expression did not change much:
" Work is often done , This has no effect, and learning and working have no effect. Besides, I am not working day by day. I feel that as long as I learn everything every day, I can go to work after I learn it."
reporter asked him: "The family puts all hope on you. Do you feel stressed now?"
Shan Xiaolong said: "The pressure is actually not great. I mainly know myself. What hope they give me is, I just need to be true to myself."
The former Shan Xiaolong may have been dull and clumsy. Now when I come to college, Shan Xiaolong has released his nature.
In order to get along well with his new classmates, he took the initiative to say hello to his classmates and parents in the dormitory: "Hello, hello."
Dan Xiaolong's dormitory, a classmate scored 680 points and a classmate scored 701 points, which made him feel a little pressure.
He felt pressured in the dormitory and was afraid that he would not be able to find common topics. After all, the consumption habits of people in cities and rural areas are different, and the topics they talk about are also different.
However, Shan Xiaolong said optimistically: "But I think I will adapt to it after a while." However, just as soon as he entered university, Shan Xiaolong encountered troubles.
His own bed was not occupied, it must be that classmate who made the mistake. But later, he saw the book on the table of the classmate who had changed the bed with him. He was very curious about this person and why this person bought these books.
These books feel particularly difficult. He was thinking that this classmate must be particularly outstanding. Therefore, Shan Xiaolong had a little bit of affection for this classmate he had never met, so he decided to give him the bed.
He looked at his new location and said : "This location is also good and brighter. Sleeping on the upper bunk bed, studying on the lower bunk bed, and public learning space. I especially like this learning environment."
asked him about the four-year plan for university, and he said: "First think about persisting in military training. They said it was very difficult. Then I hope I can learn the top few people in the department when I learned the books. Because I have a poor foundation in English, I also plan to memorize more words and practice speaking more."
Because I have to take the train back to my hometown at night, Shan Guide stayed in school for less than an hour and was about to say goodbye to his son.Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Shan Xiaolong: "Study hard, and then make a good relationship with your classmates.
Sister Shan also said: "You must make good relationship with your teachers and classmates." If you have any questions, please ask the dormitory manager. I have anything to tell my family. "
Dan Xiaolong replied with a smile: " Try to do it well. "
Dan Guide's tone was heavy: "You must perform well, don't try your best. "Then Shan Guide slowed down his tone again: "I don't have money to call my family, and my family will find a way for you." "
Some people say that Shan Dad is really amazing. A poor household has cultivated two college students, and his eldest son has such good character.
During his college years, Shan Xiaolong joined the Chinese Navy and became a glorious soldier, opening up a different youth.
In fact, family style is very important. is Shan Dad's vision and education to make Shan Xiaolong came out and had these qualities. No matter what the situation was, I believe that this family would not live a bad life.
. Shan Xiaolong, who grew up in such an environment, has the best ability to resist strikes, learning ability, and mentality. I believe that his future will not be bad either.
