Teacher Wang Jianhua is the only educated youth I interviewed to be admitted to Tsinghua . Teacher Wang is amiable and has no airs. Although he is over 70 years old, he is still in good health.
Wang Jianhua and his wife Li Aiqin are colleagues. They are first love. They have been married for forty years. Now both old people have retired and their children have started their families and careers. However, whenever they think of the past, the two old people have unspeakable emotions in their hearts.
Wang Jianhua graduated from junior high school in the 1968th year. On the year of graduation, Wang Jianhua was only 16 years old. At that time, it happened to be the country’s call for intellectual youth to go to the countryside to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants. At that time, there were only two ways before Wang Jianhua. One was to find a job to work, and the other was to go to the countryside to work.
The environment at that time was very special, and it was extremely difficult to find a job. Wang Jianhua's father was an ordinary employee of a printing factory, and his mother had no job. Due to Wang Jianhua's family conditions, it was impossible to find a job at that time, so Wang Jianhua had to choose to go to the countryside to go to the countryside to go to the lineup.
Wang Jianhua went to Yangjiahe Farm in Heilongjiang. When Wang Jianhua went there, there were more than 100 educated youth from all over the country in Yangjiahe Farm, plus more than 200 educated youth from Beijing who came with Wang Jianhua, there were more than 300 educated youth in Yangjiahe Farm, and every day, educated youth from different places joined.
The weather in Heilongjiang is very cold, and it is very early in winter. More than a dozen educated youths squeezed into a room. The educated youths slept in a bed. Wang Jianhua used to wear 40 shoes. After coming to the farm, he changed to 42 shoes. In order to prevent freezing, the shoes had to be covered with thick insoles. He wore several pairs of socks, and his clothes were frozen when he woke up in the morning.
Yangjiahe Farm is very large and divided into many departments. There are four canteens alone. Wang Jianhua was assigned to the Transportation Brigade, which was specifically responsible for transporting grain and ensuring logistics supplies. The transport team leader Yang Youcai is a veteran. He also participated in the Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea . Later, he was injured and transferred to Yangjiahe Farm.
Wang Jianhua is responsible for following the car and counting materials. The work is very easy. Captain Yang Youcai also likes Wang Jianhua very much. If you have free time, you will teach Wang Jianhua driving skills. Wang Jianhua worked in the transportation team for two years. He not only learned how to drive, but also learned how to maintain it. Wang Jianhua also won the honorary title of "Outstanding Educational Youth".
In 1972, Wang Jianhua was transferred to the maintenance team as the squad leader. After several years of farm life, Wang Jianhua has grown a lot. Compared with his peers, Wang Jianhua is much more mature. The maintenance team has a very heavy daily work task and is much busier than in the transportation team. If the machine on the farm is broken, the maintenance team will be responsible for the maintenance.
In order to facilitate maintenance, Wang Jianhua also taught himself mechanical design and manufacturing. When he had free time, Wang Jianhua used it to study to enrich his spare time. In the years of working in line at Yangjiahe Farm, Wang Jianhua has gained a lot, and Wang Jianhua has also become the backbone of the farm.
In 1977, the college entrance examination was resumed. Wang Jianhua finally waited for the opportunity to display his talents. In recent years on the farm, Wang Jianhua never gave up studying. In the first year of taking the college entrance examination, Wang Jianhua was admitted to Tsinghua University with excellent results.
Wang Jianhua is also the only educated youth in Yangjiahe Farm to be admitted to Tsinghua University. At that time, only fifteen of the more than 300 educated youth in Yangjiahe were admitted to university.
Wang Jianhua grew up in Beijing and is very familiar with Tsinghua University. If he hadn't gone to the countryside to work in the countryside, Wang Jianhua would have graduated from university long ago. However, Wang Jianhua had already seen many years of farm life. In life, there would inevitably be regrets. There was no perfect life in this world.
1981 After Wang Jianhua graduated from university, he was assigned to work at the Beijing Design Institute. In the second year of his work, Wang Jianhua fell in love with his colleague Li Aiqin in the unit. Li Aiqin is also an educated youth, but he had to return to the city earlier than Wang Jianhua.
The second year after marriage, Li Aiqin gave birth to a daughter for Wang Jianhua, and Wang Jianhua named her daughter Wang Doudou. Wang Jianhua taught his daughter by example since childhood. Wang Doudou was also very committed to her father and did not disappoint her father's expectations. Later, she was admitted to Tsinghua University and became a school with her father.
Wang Doudou was influenced by her father and also engaged in scientific research after graduating from university. Now, Wang Doudou has started a family and started a business. Wang Jianhua and his wife have long retired. Wang Jianhua's family of five are happy and have a happy life.
Wang Jianhua said that it was the experience of farming that led to his current life, and he was much luckier than other educated youth.
