Editor's note

"You are lotus leaves, I am red lotus, the raindrops in my heart are coming, except you, who is my shade under the unobstructed sky?" Carrying the eyes of parents, the backs of Tsinghua students from generation to generation are as clear as lotus, swaying water and wood Tsinghua.

The growth of children is always inseparable from the earnest teachings of parents and the warm background of the family. Behind every excellent child are wise elders and relatives, just as there is a firm and bright lighthouse behind every ocean sail.

"Tsinghua Admissions" are launching the "Talk about Experiences of Relatives and Friends" columns, let us share and learn about Tsinghua's experiences of relatives and friends accompanying their children to grow and develop. Today I will share with us the parents of Chen Yanan, a freshman of Tsinghua University, 2020. Let’s take a look~

Chen Yanan,

Tsinghua University zero-character freshman

In 2020, the child entered Tsinghua University as he wished and began a new journey in his life. Looking back on the little things that have grown up with children over the years, I found that true joy is not only in the last moment of the flower blooming, but all happiness is always on the road of cultivation, in silent growth every day.

Part 01

Read ten thousand books

The most labor-saving education method in the world should be to cultivate children's good reading habits. A noble character, a beautiful heart, and a brilliant character can all be obtained from reading.

Children have been reading a lot of extracurricular books since they were young, and they have no particular tendency. The so-called books are also miscellaneous readings. has dabbled in all aspects of . When I first started elementary school, I didn’t know much literacy. I read picture books such as "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and I also wanted to practice the plot with us. In the third grade, I became more literate and was not satisfied with reading picture books. I read "big works" such as Jin Yong's novels and other "big stories" and would also communicate with us about our feelings about the characters. Children’s perspectives are different from those of adults, and some ideas will make people laugh and cry. For example, when he read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he not only did not think Ouyang Kezha, but instead thought that he worked too hard to chase Huang Rong and put his legs on. In this regard, we did not instill our own ideas into him, but let him understand and understand it on his own.

Later, he dabbled in various Chinese and foreign classics, history books, science fiction novels, etc., and would read or recite what he liked repeatedly. When I was obsessed with poetry, I fought with my classmates at school and played with the flying flower orders, and compared poetry with us on the journey. When obsessed with the Three Kingdoms, I not only read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but also read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Under his influence, I watched the original work and CCTV version of the TV series with him many times. He admired this version very much. Unexpectedly, children born in the 2000s would also like to appreciate the classics of the older generation. We also often discuss the replacement of history together, express our feelings about the fate of the characters, and praise our persistence in faith and morality.

Large-scale reading is not only a tool for opening up the most effective topics for communication between us, but also a best support for children to learn efficiently in the future, but also a source of belief and hope in his heart.

Traveling thousands of miles

Access of knowledge not only comes from books, but also comes from the most direct understanding and contact of the world. And travel is the best way to go.

Before graduating from high school, the child had already traveled to various provinces, cities, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in China. During his travels, he will more intuitively appreciate the magnificence of the East China Sea, the tall and majestic snow peaks of Nangabawa, the swaying willows by Xizi Lake, and the magnificent and vast snowy areas in the northern border. Every place has a magical scenery of creation, and every place has a telling of the vicissitudes of history.

On the Shanhaiguan, I think of the beacons that were destroyed in history on the Great Wall of ,000 miles; the vast Gobi Desert, listen to the sad chant of going west to Yangguan a thousand years ago; the steep Jiange, feel the struggle and persistence of Jiang Wei in the Three Kingdoms period, but he is hard to move forward; on the top of Mount Tai, experience the heroic spirit of Du Fu in the small mountains. not only enriches knowledge and broadens horizons during the journey, but also trains a tenacious will quality and cultivates a mind that tolerate more cultural customs differences.

It is best to have friends who travel together when traveling. The communication between them will be more pleasant than being with their parents and will make the journey more vivid.Fortunately, my child has a few friends who have followed him along the way. They spent the misty and rainy Yangzhou together in spring, joined hands with Mount Everest Snow Mountain in summer, rode horses along the grassland in autumn, and enjoyed the clouds, stones, and foggy pine trees in Huangshan in winter. During the journey, they talked about everything and played cards, and of course they were also bound to race against time to do their homework. I believe that in their future memories, they must have the figures and smiling faces of each other during their youth.

The child’s focus may not be on the same channel as the parents’ travel guides, so there is no need to force it, he will gain. For example, on the grassland, he may try to ride a horse, bend his bow and shoot arrows, but he will be obsessed with chasing the Milky Way star cluster under the night sky of the grassland; when he visits the Three Gorges, he will be glimpsed by the scenery of the Three Gorges, but he will be obsessed with admiring the fifth-level lock; he does not have much feeling about the jade cabbage and rare jewelry in the Forbidden City in Taipei, but he is interested in the authentic works of Wang Xizhi when he is fast snow. His perspectives and ideas always surprise us, we just need to appreciate and listen. Now he has traveled all over China. In the days to come, I hope he can travel around the world, see farther and more beautiful scenery, and embrace a bigger and more exciting world.

Seeing flowers blooming

High school study life is tense, but it is even more colorful. In addition to focusing on learning, children participate in various basketball, badminton, gossip, Rubik's Cube competitions, English drama performances, speech debates and other activities in their spare time. They will take good care of themselves and take the initiative to undertake some housework when they are at home.

The rich spare time life does not delay learning, but will exercise and relax, allowing children to complete their high school education more physically and mentally. After entering , the pace of life has become much faster. In addition to the stressful life, the child still takes time to visit various exhibitions, such as the Wanli Tongfeng Xinjiang Exhibition, Oracle Exhibition, etc. Senior year is very important, but life is more important. The so-called Kung Fu is outside of poetry, and daily accumulation is the best way to learn.

2020 is destined to be an extraordinary year. Due to the epidemic, the child still lacks a graduation photo and a graduation ceremony, and he is not allowed to say a formal farewell. Faced with all kinds of twists and turns, we do not ask about the score ranking or ask the wrong questions and loopholes. We believe that the child will arrange everything. Tell your child that as long as he walks into the exam room and completes the college entrance examination, he will win.

In the end, the child eliminated various interference factors, performed normally with a stable mentality, and received the Tsinghua admission notice in August when the rose was in full bloom, blooming the first little flower for his life.

Children enter Tsinghua University, just the beginning of the flower of life blooming. hopes that he will continue to work hard in the future, blossoming all the way, and grow into someone who has love in his heart, light in his eyes, and brings warm sunshine to others.

strives to run forward, and the stars are all walking behind you.
