"I have traveled a long way, and I have suffered a lot before sending this doctoral dissertation to you. Twenty-two years of study, the journey is hard , Many are not easy. It is a dream, as if a family of talents reunited yesterday."
This is the beginning of a doctoral dissertation thanks to the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The author Huang Guoping reviewed the story of how he walked out of the small col and fought against his fate in his doctoral thesis acknowledgment.
Acknowledgments are not long, but because of their sincere emotions, they became popular on the Internet and aroused heated discussions.
In just two pages, I have written a half-life of hard work, full of blood and tears, ambition and firmness, and I am full of emotions.
Huang Guoping called himself a country boy, but apart from poverty, destiny took away all his warmth cruelly. He wrote in the article:
"Born in a small col, my mother left home when I was twelve years old. My father did not spend many days at home, even when I was too sick to go to the hospital by myself. Only left barely enough money to treat the illness and left. When I was seventeen, after he passed away in a traffic accident, I cried faintly because no one would take care of me when I was seriously ill. In the same year, I lived with me. The mother-in-law who was together died of illness, and there was really nothing she could do. She took care of me for seventeen years, but when I was buried, it was just a thin coffin.Another family member is the old dog, Xiaohua, who guarded the grave for his father and mother-in-law, and later died because I went to high school in the city and did not know when and where to end. "_Span11span
But his fate was so cruel to him. After losing all his relatives, even the teacher and mother whom he met later could not see him realize his college dream:
"Like a long brother 8" Qiu Hao, my computer enlightenment teacher, failed to see my university admission notice, and the teacher who took good care of me also hurriedly passed away before being confused. Every time I go back to see them, these tombs remind us that every minute of life is precious. _Span11span
Living alone is not easy.

Recalling the poor days of childhood, Huang Guoping’s brushwork is simple and vivid, and people’s tears are rippling:
“I wrote the most homework at night in the strong9 . Happy things. "_Span11span
"If it rains,The reserved program is to use bamboo shoot shells to plug seams to prevent rain. Before high school, the main source of income was catching eel at night, fishing on weekends, raising piglets, and renting buffalo. In those years, paddy fields and small rivers with a radius of ten kilometers have been measured countless times with my feet. Being chased by dogs and snakes, falling into the water in the middle of the night, and running home in the dark due to the water in the storage battery; the tuition was not paid, but the eel was sold by his father, and then bought meat and wine. It is inevitable. _Span11span
More than half of the article, the most distressing thing to read is this sentence: "The suffering of the queen can still be overcome, but the dignity of the front is extremely fragile. _Span11span
"During class, due to arrears in tuition fees, I was often called out by the teacher for interviews. Classes are wet on a rainy day, and the back of the buttocks may still be muddy. Walking barefoot on the hot road in summer. In winter, wearing shabby clothes shivering through the long aisle to lead the workbook. These may be the last straw to crush the camel. If it weren't for the fact that I can often receive bonuses from the podium after the exam, and by the way I can post a wall of awards to satisfy the final vanity, I might have given up. _Span11span
Huang Guoping, who was born in the mountains where he had to take a bus for two hours to get to the county seat, knew that he was "in the whirlpool of fate and exhausted his efforts to fight for things that might have been ordinary." "At every turn of his life, he couldn't help himself. He felt that he was almost unable to carry it out because of the pressure of reality on the difficult journey of school countless times. But along the way, his belief is very simple:
"Keep studying. , And then go out and live a life in vain. ”_Span11span
poor and stronger,Do not fall into the ambition of Qingyun.
After reading this "Acknowledgements", everyone will think of many people and things.
Some people think of their poor school days and are grateful to all the kind people who have extended a helping hand to them.
Some people think of those around them who have escaped the quagmire of fate and sent light to this world.
And I also think of many ordinary people who are fleeting on the Internet.
thinks of the "ice boy" Wang Fuman. It is 4.5 kilometers away from home to school. It takes more than an hour to go to school in the ice and snow in winter. When he walked into the classroom, his small face was flushed with cold, and his head was covered with snow-white ice flowers.
He said: "It’s cold to go to school, but it’s not hard work." The place I want to go most is Beijing, "I want to see how the students there study".
He is only 8 years old, and his small hands are full of frostbite and cracks. But under these hands, there is a 99-point test paper.
I remembered that Wei Xiang, a disabled college entrance examination candidate, was paralyzed at birth, unable to take care of himself or herself, and did not get better after many operations. The laid-off father for many years suffered from an incurable disease, leaving him and his mother who were young and disabled.
Although my body is disabled, my will is stronger. He was admitted to Tsinghua University with a high score of 648, and wrote a letter of request, requesting that Tsinghua accept his mother and provide them with a single dormitory so that his mother can continue to take care of him. The letter wrote:
"My mother, who is as strong as steel, wiped away my tears, and as always, went to school without hindrance. From elementary school to high school, 12 years from elementary school to high school, my mother's back travels through elementary school and middle school The streets, gates, and classrooms of high school seem to be tireless; her 12-year-old mother is not only a nurse who works in the hospital, but also a patron and patron saint who accompanies a disabled teenager on his way to school. I did my best to overcome my physical disability, study hard, and completed the elementary education at the primary and secondary level. Today, with a score of 648 in the college entrance examination, I gave my beloved mother a gracious gift."
Tsinghua University also Wrote him a reply, promising to provide him with all possible funding. The reply wrote:
"Unfortunate life,Each has its own misery. But fortunately, after experiencing the pain of illness and bereavement, you still chose to be strong and hardworking, and you have lived in a way that we all respect and admire. _Span11span
"For you, the path may not be easy, the fate may be unfair, and life may be miserable, but please believe it enough. _Span11span
Wei Xiang and his mother
I also thought of the Peking University security guard Zhang Juncheng who was admitted to Peking University. After graduating from junior high school, he dropped out of school due to poor family work and experienced homework. After arduous work such as repairing the factory, he became a security guard at Peking University.
People with lofty ideals never underestimate themselves. Although Zhang Juncheng is just a small security guard, he uses his spare time to go to the Peking University library to study. He also started to learn English by himself. In the fall of 1995, he took the adult college entrance examination and was admitted to the Law Department of Peking University.
Later, Zhang Juncheng, who came out of the small mountain village, returned to his hometown and founded a vocational school. For children in rural areas.
He said, "Beijing University has sowed the seed for me, and I want to bring this seed to more people. ”_Span11span
Zhang Juncheng was a security guard at Peking University,Reading at the Weiming Lake
I also think of many people who appeared in the news briefly. For example, the migrant worker who worked in the city for seventeen years, when he returned to his hometown, thanked the Dongguan Library for allowing himself to read books for twelve years. He wrote in his message:
The good place is the library. Even though I will never give up, I will never forget you for the rest of my life."
Every time I face these ordinary people from poor backgrounds, I want to feel that life is hard and destiny. Injustice, they turned around and found that they never complained about themselves, but found strength from knowledge and became stronger from suffering.
If someone wants to ask them what is the meaning of their life, I would like to use the sentence in the "Ordinary World" to answer:
"I don't cry, don't cry. Regret, the golden leaves are full of my heart, and I am no longer a young boy. But what can be comforted is that I have always lived in this world in vain."
Today's Internet is full of The poisonous chicken soup that "incomes one million at the age of 25" and the chicken baby who "expends 100,000 yuan to enroll children in the tutoring class for a summer vacation" is anxious. People admire good backgrounds and admire successful people, as if everyone has to win from the starting line to be considered not ashamed, and everyone has to live an exquisite secondary life to be qualified.
but don’t forget,There are still many people like Huang Guoping in the world we live in. They followed the light of knowledge and worked their entire lives to live the lives of ordinary people.
salute them.
After his doctoral thesis became popular, Huang Guoping wrote a letter today to reply to the attention of netizens.
Now he is working in Tencent AI Lab, continuing to do research topics identified during his Ph.D., having a career he loves, and “continuously approaching the goal”.
He wrote in his reply: "I also wish you every success in your efforts."
thank you for the pain he wrote at the end of Not only did he not complain about the unfair destiny, but also never thought of giving up. On the contrary, he was kind to this world:
"The ideal is not great. I only hope that after half a hundred years, I am still a teenager when I return. I hope I have a chance to get to know it again. This world does not live up to the hardships of this life. In the end, if you can do something to make others' lives better, then you will earn it in this life."
Hot Life just began,Bless him, and bless all those who have ideals.
