August 27, 2014, the school season begins.
In the morning, many reporters were staying at the registration office of Tsinghua University . Their target was a candidate named Wu Shanliu . Will this candidate appear at the registration site of Tsinghua University ? It was one of the most popular topics in those days.
From morning to afternoon, just as many reporters were about to give up, Wu Shanliu appeared - he and his father each carried a backpack and a simple travel bag in his hand, looking dusty.
When the admission procedures were completed, the students and teachers who were receiving the new students couldn't help but shout:
"It turns out it was him."
What kind of special experience does Wu Shanliu have? Why can his name attract the attention of so many journalists and teachers and students?
Wu Shanliu and his father
It turned out that this was a top student who once rejected Peking University and repeated ten times in a row before he was admitted to the ideal institution. He gave up in order to attend Tsinghua , including Peking University , Nanjing University , Tongji University and other well-known institutions.
Some people call him "Contemporary Fan Jin" and " exam ", while others say he is a "college entrance examination madman"; Some people agree that he is persistent in his dreams, while others question that his exams are repeated to get bonuses.
But is this really the case? Why did Wu Shanliu have a special liking for Tsinghua University when she was 32 years old? What did he experience before repeating the exam? Four years later, when 36-year-old Wu Shanliu graduated from Tsinghua University, would he regret his paranoidness when he was young?
Welcome to continue reading, please stay tuned to learn more!
01
The reason why Wu Shanliu became a top student is not unrelated to the environment he was born.
In 1982, Wu Shanliu was born in Beitong Town, Pubei County, Guangxi. His father was a Chinese teacher in a middle school in the town. Later, he became the vice principal, and his mother worked in the school cafeteria. When he grew up, his sister also became a teacher.
What’s more interesting is that the village where Wu Shanliu’s family has lived for generations is called Dashufang Village, and even the name of the village reveals a faint cultural atmosphere.
Wu Shanliu's childhood is different from other children.
htmlIn the 1980s, a dual-working classroom family was not particularly wealthy, but it was stronger than most rural families.The economic conditions and the strong knowledge atmosphere allow Wu Shanliu to obtain an excellent learning environment.
Not only that, he also has a higher learning ability and understanding ability than his peers. While his friends were still playing hide-and-seek, Wu Shanliu had already started to recite ancient poems. After going to school, Wu Shanliu's grades in the process have always been among the best, and she is a "top student".
Wu Shanliu's home
After the high school entrance examination, Wu Shanliu was admitted to Pubei No. 1 Middle School, the best high school in the county, without any surprise, a high school that gathers top students and high-quality teaching staff from the county.
Although Wu Shanliu has excellent grades, it is far less relaxed than being as easy as junior high school. He began to study more boring and harder, and there were almost no entertainment except for studying.
A relative at home said that Wu Shanliu was too introverted, but he didn't care:
"Interpersonal relationships are very complicated, I would rather learn."
Seeing that his son was so successful, the father naturally increased his strength to cultivate his son, hoping that someone at home who changed his destiny by studying.
After three years of hard study, Wu Shanliu took the first college entrance examination in 2000.
However, from this college entrance examination, the 18-year-old Wu Shanliu tasted the taste of failure for the first time - he failed the exam.
The father, who has been struggling on the front line of education for many years, has seen too many examples of failure in the exam. When facing his disappointed son, he did not blame him, but cheered him up:
"A failure is nothing, and taking the college entrance examination is not a difficult task for you."
With the encouragement of his parents, Wu Shanliu set off again before he could get up. After he calmed down, he returned to Pubei No. 1 Middle School and entered the repeater class.
In 2001, Wu Shanliu successfully passed the Beijing Jiaotong University , and was admitted to the major of electrical engineering and automation. Although he was not very satisfied with this result, he still carried his bags and embarked on his own path of studying.
Almost every student who studied has a dream of Tsinghua University and Peking University in his heart, and Wu Shanliu is the same. Because Tsinghua University is very close to Beijing Jiaotong University, Wu Shanliu Liu went to visit Tsinghua University the day after reporting.
What he saw and heard about Tsinghua University brought great shock to Wu Shanliu and completely brought a 180-degree turn to his life.
02
If it were normal, Wu Shanliu should have become an electrical engineer and lived a normal life.
You can see that after seeing the strong learning atmosphere in Tsinghua University, his thoughts have undergone some subtle changes - he was attracted by this atmosphere.
Wu Shanliu believes that Tsinghua University is a good place to learn.
But now he has already entered school, and if he wants to enter Tsinghua University, he can only drop out and repeat the study. This is a crazy and extremely expensive idea for anyone.
Wu Shanliu chose to bury that restlessness in his heart and continue to study in Jiaotong University .
But the courses in electrical engineering are too boring, and Wu Shanliu has no interest in this major at all.
Under the dual contradiction between dropping out and re-examination and being bored with the major, Wu Shanliu seems to have become a different person. He is no longer full of fighting spirit and is no longer willing to be bored. His will is depressed day by day, and he has spent his college life in a daze.
Step into After society, Wu Shanliu, the former academic tyrant, felt like Fang Zhongyong was "indifferent to everyone". Because he did not study professional knowledge well in college, Wu Shanliu could only do some electronic factories, which have no technical content but no development prospects.
Electronics Factory/The picture and text are irrelevant
The work required more than twelve hours a day made Wu Shanliu feel physically and mentally exhausted. The production method of dedicated personnel on the assembly line and product piecework made him feel even more desperate. What is the future of such days?
" The whole person can't stop at all. If you have worked like this, you will no longer talk about your ideals and will no longer have that romantic idea. "
He began to miss the days of studying. For him, the most test and hardest thing is the life of working. The hardship of the college entrance examination is far from comparable to that.
Wu Shanliu's so-called "romantic thoughts" refer to the Tsinghua dream that has been buried in his heart for many years.
Wu Shanliu's Tsinghua dream has not disappeared in recent years, but is buried deep in his heart like a vague Mars. Whenever he encounters setbacks in his work, When the break was broken, Mars became brighter; when he turned back to the reality, Mars became dimmer again.
After two or three years of repeated entanglement in the electronics factory, Wu Shanliu's ideal overwhelmed reality.
He made up his mind to change his current situation and must be admitted to Tsinghua University to realize the simple romance in his heart.
03
When he made this decision, Wu Shanliu did not expect that his road to re-examination would be so long.

In 2007, Wu Shanliu lived a hard life with the support of his family.
Wu Shanliu has a very high talent in learning. After leaving the senior high school textbook for six years and preparing for the exam for only more than three months, he was admitted to Beijing Normal University , which is more eye-catching than the results six years ago.
However, although Beijing Normal University is good, it is far from Wu Shanliu's Ideal.
After the goal was clear, Wu Shanliu no longer felt entangled. He failed and started over again. He returned to the electronics factory and earned the tuition for the next year's resumption of the next year.
When working, it is no longer just to meet the needs of supporting the family, but to realize his ideal, Wu Shanliu's mood of working is different.
In 2008, Wu Shanliu, who had been preparing for a year, welcomed the fourth college entrance examination, which makes people lucky.
He was admitted to Beijing Normal University again.
again!
In 2009, he changed from Pubei Middle School to Qinzhou No. 1 Middle School to to continue his further studies. In this year, he was admitted to Sun Yat-sen University .
again!
2010, Beijing Forestry University .
again!
In 2011, he returned to Pubei Middle School to repeat the study. The result this time was particularly gratifying. He entered the top 100 in Guangxi for the first time with a score of more than 650 points.
At this time, Wu Shanliu was no longer young, and his initial ideal gradually changed. In his own words, it is called "seven-point ideal, three-point reality" . When the admissions department of Shanghai Jiaotong University , , Fudan University and other schools sent him an olive branch, he said that if the majors of economics and finance in these schools can be admitted, he is willing to study.
The high income after employment in financial majors is Wu Shanliu's "three-point reality". Apart from this, he will not think about it.
However, the teachers and family were more inclined to let him apply for Peking University. In the end, he rejected the admissions departments of other prestigious universities and chose to attack Peking University.
Wu Shanliu was admitted to Peking University.
But unfortunately, upgrade line of Peking University headquarters was still a little higher. The admission was the Medical Department of Peking University.
No matter what, Wu Shanliu was admitted to Peking University after all, Pubei Middle School posted a good news at the school gate, and firecrackers were set off in Wu Shanliu's town and village.
But this result satisfies everyone, only Wu Shanliu is not very satisfied.
Wu Shanliu heard that students from Peking University School of Medicine only studied at the school for one year, and believed that subsequent studies lacked the atmosphere of Peking University. Secondly, he was afraid of blood and fear of human tissues. Doctors were not the profession he wanted to do.
But that was Peking University after all, and Wu Shanliu felt the heart-wrenching pain. he said:
"It's not that it's not non-Tsinghua and Peking University. In addition to medicine, any major at Peking University, including history, philosophy, etc. can do it."
Reality only accounts for three points after all. Ideals will make concessions for majors such as finance, history, philosophy, etc., but will not make concessions for majors in medicine.
He gave up Peking University and chose to continue repeating the school.
2012, Nanjing University , Wu Shanliu is in his thirty years.
2013, Tongji University .
Anyone who has dreams is amazing. In 2014, 32-year-old Wu Shanliu took the tenth college entrance examination in his life and won the top scorer of science in , Qinzhou City, with a score of 680. He was finally admitted to Tsinghua University. Mars, which had been buried in his heart for more than ten years, finally burned into a raging fire.
But fate seems to be a joke with Wu Shanliu - the dream of Tsinghua University has finally come true, but his major is called Electrical Engineering and Automation.
He made him spend four years of majoring in Beijing Jiaotong University, and now he meets him again at Tsinghua University.
After more than ten years of re-education, Wu Shanliu's life seemed to have been in the same place, but it seemed that there was no such thing.

Knowing the story of Wu Shanliu's ten college entrance examinations, he also knew the reason why the reporter waited from morning to afternoon to see Wu Shanliu on the day of school.
reporter rushed forward.
After more than ten years of training, Wu Shanliu has become much more mature and rational. When asked about the future plan for , Wu Shanliu was neither humble nor arrogant, and frankly said:
"To be honest, I don't even know what I will do tomorrow. How can I draw the blueprint until four or ten years later? Let's take a look while walking."
Wu Shanliu told everyone that every time he took the exam in recent years, reality and rationality will be more, and ideals and romance will be reduced by one point. In addition to majors such as finance and philosophy, he also thought about being a teacher and regretted not studying hard at Beijing Normal University.
Although the ideal has been achieved, his profession has played a big joke with him, which made Wu Shanliu sigh.
Wu Shanliu faces reporters and talks about
When the past passes, the throbbing of the realization of ideals has also weakened a lot. Wu Shanliu is not as excited as he imagined:
"I had to do it when I came to Tsinghua University. This is the thing that I am most ashamed of in my life... Tsinghua has a little bit of honor, but it can be ignored."
"The era of talking about ideals has passed, and we must admit the reality."
It is not difficult to see from these words that Wu Shanliu regrets his decisive actions over the years.
But at the same time, this special experience also brought him a lot of gains - rationality. This can be seen from the reporter's questions about him:
Reporter: "Your classmates are all born in the 1990s (Wu is from 1982). How do you plan to integrate into everyone?"
Wu Shanliu: "It's good to be natural, there is no need to specialize or expand yourself."
Wu Shanliu is called a "college entrance examination madman". Many people recommend him as a top student, but he thinks his story "is not very glorious". He said that everyone's experience cannot be copied.
faces interview invitations from more media and TV columns, and Wu Shanliu also refused one by one. He told the media:
"I am like a train that has deviated from the track for a long time... This is just a personal choice, which does not conform to mainstream values. It is best not to promote, comment, or report." Behind the non-promotion, non-comment, and non-report are the growth brought to a person by time and experience.
05
In 2018, Wu Shanliu graduated from university for the second time, and he was 36 years old this year.
Because he lacked more than ten years of work experience compared to his peers, he did not apply for those high-paying careers he had previously longed for, but decided to start his father's old career in a private high school in Zhengzhou, Henan.
Someone laughed and said that being a teacher is the best destination for him. After all, teaching senior high school students with ten experiences in college entrance examinations can be regarded as "useful for the best of their own things."
Wu Shanliu is forty years old this year and has officially entered the forty years of , which is also his fourth year as a teacher.
The students he taught revealed that Teacher Wu’s class style was humorous and loved by the whole class. In addition, there is such a teacher with legendary experience. His classmates admire him very much and are proud of him as a student who is a legendary teacher.
Ten times of college entrance examinations and rejecting legendary experiences like Peking University have made it difficult for those who pay attention to Wu Shanliu to relieve him. Some people say that the "college entrance examination madman" finally fell into teaching, like a martial arts master who had been practicing for half his life and lived in seclusion in the mountains as soon as he emerged. It felt like " opened high and ended low and ended ".
also has an extreme view that Wu Shanliu's selfish behavior not only occupies family resources and social resources, but also suspects of earning bonuses through exams. He is a "speculative" who passes exams to make profits for himself.
is not the case.
The thoughts Wu Shanliu left for everyone are far more than just his behavior is as simple as whether it is right or wrong.
"Living does not have to be bright, but you must have your own color."
Life itself is countless multiple-choice questions, and there are different roads waiting for you to choose every day. At any time, what you choose must be based on your cognition and vision at that time. Perhaps it is wrong in hindsight, but it is undoubtedly right at that time.
, where is the absolute right or wrong? The world is not black or white, and we cannot choose the right choice every time, but every time we are right and wrong, we should bring us growth.
Wu Shanliu's calmness and rationality after maturity is accumulated through repeated choices.
The author believes that Wu Shanliu, who was a teacher after studying Normal University, and Wu Shanliu, who went to the classroom after graduating from Tsinghua University, must have a down-to-earth state of mind.
The author believes more that no matter whether Wu Shanliu chose to continue working in an electronics factory or stop after any college entrance examination, his life will definitely have different colors.
Wu Shanliu is you, me, and the majority of life. Everyone keeps choosing on different tracks, persisting and giving up, and choosing to create all kinds of people, and then form a colorful world of all kinds of people and things.
You and my life also have different colors.
