The college entrance examination for poor students carries the hope of the family.
Pang Zhongwang, the 2017 science champion in Hebei Province, was admitted to Tsinghua University with an excellent score of 744 points, but faced a sad reality.
When the president of Tsinghua University came to his home, he was moved to tears by what he saw. Pang Zhongwang's family conditions were very difficult, there was no television, no electric fan, and not even electric lights.
His mother suffers from severe diabetes and needs to take medication for a long time, and his father works on a construction site for a meager income. However, despite these difficulties, Pang Zhongwang still insisted on studying hard and finally achieved excellent results.
His story tells us that with strong faith and unremitting efforts, we can overcome all difficulties and realize our dreams.
Zhou Peng, the top student in the Sichuan Provincial College Entrance Examination this year, was born in Maxiugou, Jinjia Township, Peng'an County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province.
Despite his family's poverty, he never gave up his thirst for knowledge, and such a legend has been played out in the cold door.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jinjia Township has been developing, but it has always been a key poverty alleviation area, and agriculture is the main income of local people.
Although Zhou Peng's family was ordinary, his parents and grandparents were farmers, and because of poverty and lack of education, they had to rely on hard work to make a living. Before he was born, Zhang's parents had high hopes for their offspring, but unfortunately his elder brother was not able to persist in his studies and dropped out of school early to work, so they pinned their hopes on Zhou Peng, believing that knowledge can change fate.
Before Zhou Peng was born, in order to let him receive an education, Zhou's father made great efforts. Although he was uneducated, he had a good handicraft in weaving bamboo products, and although he was paid little, he was the breadwinner of the family.
The child is still young, and we can't affect his development because of our difficulties, we must find a way. Father Zhou sighed silently and expressed understanding.
Zhou's father walked on the way home, his heart was full of guilt for Zhou Peng, because he knew that his busyness and inability to accompany him had an impact on the child's growth. However, fortunately, the kind neighbors lent a hand and cooked bowls of nutritious porridge for Zhou Peng, so that his body was protected.
Although Zhou's father needs to work the construction site and work hard in the farmland at the same time, fortunately, Zhou's mother always sticks to the child's side and cares for his growth with maternal love and care.
The hearts of the Zhou family's parents are full of gratitude to their neighbors, and they are also extremely pleased that their children can grow up safely and healthily.
Zhou Peng's parents were too tired during the confinement and didn't eat much nutritious food, which is in line with the old saying.
Sometimes, Zhou's mother was busy with housework, and Zhou Peng would follow her and sway. When Zhou's mother recalled this, she always said with a smile: "The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, this is the truth that Zhou Peng has understood since he was a child." ”
Therefore, he never makes a request lightly. However, compared to those children who complain about poor families, he shows sensibility and maturity that is heart-wrenching.
Zhou's father took Zhou Peng to the market to sell bamboo products, it was getting late, the vendors and crowds in the market gradually dispersed, the Zhou father and son were about to pack up and go home, suddenly, Zhou Peng was attracted by the toy stall in the distance, and his eyes were firmly grasped.
Seeing the disappointment on his son's face, Zhou's father looked at the crumpled few small bills in his hand, and felt a little embarrassed. But this was his rare trip with his son, and he didn't want to disappoint his son, so he said firmly: "Son, it doesn't matter, although the money is not much, we can still enjoy this trip." ”
A child's path to growth is full of challenges and unknowns. Zhou Peng is a typical example, his family had to go to Guangdong again to find easy jobs in order to make ends meet during the most difficult period.
However, even in such an environment, Zhou Peng's learning path was full of difficulties. Frequent school changes made it difficult for him to maintain a steady stream of learning, and his grades often fell to the bottom of the class, much to his father's concern.
Despite the hardships of life, Zhou Peng's parents always firmly believe that as long as they work hard, they will definitely create a better future for him.
In order to allow Zhou Peng to concentrate on his studies, his parents made a huge sacrifice, they returned to their hometown in the countryside, in addition to farming, that is, to make bamboo to earn money, their life is hard, just for Zhou Peng's tuition.
Therefore, while other children are playing, Zhou Peng must hurry home after school to help his mother with housework or his father to tidy up the bamboo.
Zhou Peng's steady progress in his studies brought rare comfort to the difficult and ordinary Zhou family, and became the motivation for them to grit their teeth and persevere. In order to support Zhou Peng's studies, Zhou's father had to borrow money from relatives and friends after he was promoted to junior high school, and wrote an IOU promising to repay it as soon as possible.
However, despite the years that have passed, the Zhou family has still not been able to repay this debt.
While many families are able to satisfy their children's desire to go to school, even if they are not very wealthy, the Zhou family is in an even more unique situation, living in small, dilapidated and cracked brick houses that cannot afford even basic furniture, appliances and cement walls.
As a result, the expectation of going to school has become particularly difficult for the Zhou family.
Zhou Peng's middle school life began, and he took a wad of money raised with five cents and one dollar to start his education. He will repeatedly study the knowledge points of each book until he fully understands and can make questions of various difficulties.
For the newly opened physics and chemistry course, he went to the teacher's office to ask for advice, and copied all the incomprehensible formulas on paper, and took them out to memorize when walking, eating, and even going to the toilet.
His hard work and persistence let us see his pursuit and love for knowledge.
Although his classmates laughed at him as a "nerd", Zhou Peng also had his own troubles. Because he attended a boarding junior high school and could only go home once a month, he often worried about whether his parents would skip meals because they were too tired or wanted to save money.
Zhou Peng's happiest moment was on his way home from vacation. Not only does he get to see his long-lost parents, but he especially misses his deep and stubborn father's love. Although he was happy in his heart, his father always showed a stubborn attitude.
Zhou Peng bowed to his parents affectionately, he knew that his father's chatter was the expression of his father's love, and it was also the driving force for him to rise in the predicament, he must not live up to the hard work of his parents, let alone forget his struggle.
After the high school entrance examination, although Zhou's parents were happy with Zhou Peng's excellent results, the ensuing financial pressure also troubled them. Fortunately, the local ** and the education department learned of Zhou Peng's difficult situation and excellent academic performance, so they implemented a partial tuition waiver policy for him.
Compared with those students who went to cram school, Zhou Peng, who had just entered high school, seemed to be unable to keep up with the pace of his teachers in terms of learning pace. However, he quickly adjusted his form and gave it his all before the first monthly exam, and finally finished third in his grade.
Zhou Peng has always been at the top of his three-year study career, and even his father said in an interview that it is a very proud thing. It is worth mentioning that although he was sponsored by well-wishers during his high school years, he never acted wastefully.
Sometimes, he would take home the money he had saved and buy apples and bananas that his parents had never tasted. These behaviors fully demonstrated Zhou Peng's frugal virtues and filial piety to his parents.
Zhou Peng stood out in the college entrance examination with his real talent and learning, and was highly praised by his neighbors. Especially in the essay question about "Dream of Red Mansions", although he has not read such extracurricular readings, with the only text in the text of "Dream of Red Mansions" fragments, he has successfully used his creativity and shown his talent.
Zhou Peng's learning ability is amazing, but he said that he has no secrets, just insists on learning. Recently, the Sichuan Provincial Education Examination Institute announced the admission control line for each batch of general college enrollment in 2022.
Zhou Peng scored 698 points in the college entrance examination, directly exceeding the undergraduate line by 160 points. His dream is to enter Tsinghua University, China's highest university. Today, there have not been such outstanding students in Jinjia Township for more than 20 years.
For this reason, leaders, education directors and college presidents have visited Zhou Peng's home. The director of the education bureau said that the county will provide special funding to help Zhou Peng complete his university studies, and if he plans to take the postgraduate or doctoral examination, he does not have to worry about the cost.
Image source network, at this moment, some caring people have come to congratulate the Zhou family, because Zhou Peng, who was once uncared for, finally became famous in high school after unremitting hard study.
Zhou Peng, who was born in poverty, finally seized the opportunity to "fly high" and realized his parents' expectations. And he will continue to maintain his diligence, cheer for all the students who are working hard like him, and wish them a bright future!
