"Mom and Dad, I thought about it, I'm going to drop out of school and go to Beijing Industrial Technician College. ”In 2011, after careful consideration, Zhou Hao expressed his thoughts to his parents:I want to drop out of Peking University and go to a technical school to study.
Zhou Hao's words seemed to be a shocking thunderbolt, which smashed on the unprepared parents of the Zhou family.
For a while, Zhou Hao's neighbors and friends all knew about it, and many people were puzzled, and some people even directly said that Zhou Hao was a "fool".
Why did Zhou Hao give up such a high-quality educational environment at Peking University and go to a junior college instead? Today, 11 years later, what is Zhou Hao's life? When did Zhou Hao's ideological transformation begin?
Image source network. In September 2008, Zhou Hao came to Peking University with the blessings of his family and friends.
Peking University has a beautiful environment and a strong academic atmosphere, and its students are all outstanding students from all over the world.
As soon as the freshman year started, Zhou Hao's roommates were full of enthusiasm to participate in various clubs, busy making new friends, and had a lot of fun.
But among the most high-end universities in China that everyone wants to enter, Zhou Hao is an outlier.
Here, he felt a tremendous amount of pressure.
He was not happy, and it could even be said that he felt that living here was a torment.
It's not that he is dissatisfied with the environment of Peking University, or with his teachers and classmates.
It's that Zhou Hao is not interested in his major.
This year, Zhou Hao scored 669 in the college entrance examination.
After learning the results, Zhou Hao's parents and teachers were overjoyed. Zhou Hao is naturally very happy, because such a high score means that he can enter his favorite school and choose his favorite major.
Since high school, Zhou Hao has set a goal for himself - Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
The reason why I chose this school is because this school has my favorite major, mechanical major.
Speaking of Zhou Hao's love for mechanical majors, it can be traced back to his childhood.
Zhou Hao has had a strong hands-on ability since he was a child. When I was a child, others ran around on the ground with remote control of toy cars, competing for first and second place.
Zhou Hao, on the other hand, likes to take apart the toy car, look at the parts inside, and then assemble it.
Zhou Hao's parents, as intellectuals, know that what Zhou Hao does is a normal phenomenon of a child's growth, and children have curiosity, so it would be good to satisfy his curiosity.
Therefore, Zhou Hao's parents did not criticize and educate Zhou Hao, but met the needs of the child and asked him to disassemble some small toys.
Zhou Hao also grew in the process of disassembling toys. Later, he could even take apart a mechanical toy, sort the parts, and put them back together.
When he was a child, Zhou Hao showed extraordinary talent in this aspect.
Unfortunately, Zhou Hao's parents didn't pay much attention to this, and they put more energy into supervising Zhou Hao's cultural learning.
Zhou Hao is also a smart child, and he doesn't have to worry about his parents when he learns since he was a child.
He went to elementary school, junior high school, and high school step by step, and his grades have always been at a good level, and he also listens to his parents.
At this time, Zhou Hao is like "someone else's child" in the mouth of adults.
After the results of the college entrance examination came out, Zhou Hao surprised Zhou's parents even more, because with Zhou Hao's results, he could even go to Peking University.
After learning about Zhou Hao's results, Zhou Hao's parents kept reading the relevant information, wanting to enroll their child in the best school within their ability. In the end, Peking University was chosen.
But because Zhou Hao's score is not too high, there are not many majors to choose from, especially if there is no mechanical major that he likes in these majors.
Zhou Hao thought about it for a long time, and finally put forward his opinion to his parents.
I would like to apply for ...... at the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics”
Before Zhou Hao could reveal all his ideas, he was rejected by his parents.
"With such a high score, it's a pity to go to this school! ”
Zhou Hao tried to tell his parents that he had always wanted to study mechanical engineering, which was his hobby, but in exchange he refused even more violently.
Zhou Hao's parents strongly urged Zhou Hao to go to Peking University, and Zhou Hao's teacher also came to persuade Zhou Hao when he learned about this, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to go to Peking University.
Now that the opportunity is in front of us, how can we let it go to waste?
Although Zhou Hao wanted to go to Aerospace University at first, when he saw his parents' expectant eyes, he finally compromised.
You should be fine with other majors. With this in mind, Zhou Hao came to Beijing and started his university life.
But Zhou Hao didn't expect that the life here was very different from his ideal life.
The start of school is almost half a semester, but Zhou Hao still feels that he can't fit in.
In Zhou Hao's view, the content of life science majors is very boring, and they are talking about boring theoretical knowledge and doing experiments all day long.
At first, Zhou Hao could still understand the course content. But later, he hated the subject more and more, and became more and more reluctant to listen to lectures, which eventually led to him barely passing the exam.
The phrase "being in Cao Ying, and being in Han" is used to describe Zhou Hao's situation at that time.
Zhou Hao was not interested in the courses of his major, and only wanted to learn mechanical-related content. After he learned that he could go to other colleges to audit, he was out of control and had to listen to it every day.
The courses in the College of Engineering are much more interesting than those in the School of Life Sciences, but because Zhou Hao is not a student of this major, he cannot participate in many courses.
At this time, his classmates provided him with a new idea - to change his major.
Changing majors is not uncommon in universities, and some students are unable to continue their studies in their majors for various reasons, and under the right conditions, they can transfer to other majors in the same school.
After learning the news, Zhou Hao rekindled his confidence, and he began to prepare for the related matters of changing majors.
But new problems have arisen.
The conditions for changing majors are different in each school, and the requirements of Peking University are that students need to achieve good results in their original majors so that they can have the opportunity to apply for changing majors.
Obviously, Zhou Hao can't meet this condition. Because he was not interested in life sciences, his grades were not good.
The road of changing majors did not work, and Zhou Hao's last hope was dashed.
At this time, he was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he was listless all day.
Image source network. Zhou Hao, who was once lively and cheerful, now looks like a languishing old man, although he has the body of a young man, his spirit has never been lifted.
In his first year at Peking University, Zhou Hao felt like a waste man who couldn't play to his strengths.
He was reluctant to go to class, reluctant to go out, gradually became silent, and later had a tendency to depression. Zhou Hao's roommates also found out about his problems, always enlightened him, and took him out, but to no avail.
Zhou Hao knew that it would never work like this, so at the end of his freshman year, Zhou Hao made a bold decision - to suspend his studies.
Zhou Hao found his teacher and told him his thoughts, and finally the teacher agreed to his request to take a year off.
After his freshman year, Zhou Hao said goodbye to his roommate and returned to his hometown in Qinghai.
Parents also noticed the difference in their son, who was a teenager full of youthful vitality a year ago, but now he is silent and seems to be preoccupied.
Seeing their son's current state, Zhou Hao's parents also muttered in their hearts: Why did their son's personality change so much after returning from school for a year?
Image source network. Zhou Hao's mother tentatively asked her son, but Zhou Hao talked about him left and right, and simply said that he was not very comfortable when he first entered college, so he passed the matter.
Zhou Hao's mother believed it, comforted her son, and told her son that he must tell her something.
But Zhou Hao** dared to tell his mother about his suspension of school. During the summer vacation, Zhou Hao has been thinking: what should be done in the year of suspension.
If you stay at home, you will definitely be counted out by your parents, and you will criticize yourself for not consulting your family and taking the initiative to suspend school.
After some thought, Zhou Hao decided to go out to work for a year.
Image source network. At the beginning of his sophomore year, Zhou Hao hid from his parents and got on the train to Shenzhen.
Since he has no bachelor's degree, Zhou Hao can only do some simple jobs, working as a waiter, handing out leaflets, ......
In the end, Zhou Hao came to a factory and started an assembly line worker.
The position of assembly line worker is very boring, and he has to do fixed things every day. But in Zhou Hao's opinion, he likes this job very much.
Image source network. Because this job requires strong hands-on ability, and what Zhou Hao needs now is such a job, he is also very willing to do such a thing.
Thanks to the "experience" of disassembling and assembling toys since childhood, he is very handy in this job.
And Zhou Hao's efforts and talent are also seen in his heart by his leaders, who are very optimistic about this down-to-earth young man, take great care of him, and often mention him at work.
During the time he worked in the factory, Zhou Hao realized that it was not possible to do without a diploma, and he also felt the hardships of life.
Image source network. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
In 2010, Zhou Hao ended his suspension and returned to Peking University.
A year of part-time work life also calmed Zhou Hao, he knew that even if he had strong do-it-yourself ability, he still needed a diploma to find a job outside.
In his sophomore year, Zhou Hao tried his best to study, and he hoped that through his own efforts, he could gradually keep up with the rhythm and adapt to school life.
Image source network. Zhou Hao changed the decadence of the past, but got up early every day, never missed a single class of the class he should attend, and never skipped class again. And after class, he will take the initiative to review and consult relevant materials in the library.
But reality dealt Zhou Hao a heavy blow.
No matter how hard Zhou Hao tried, he couldn't keep up with everyone's rhythm. The courses in the School of Life Sciences made him feel like he was listening to heavenly books, and even drowsy, and his grades did not improve in the slightest.
Confucius said, "Those who know are not as good as those who know, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy." ”
Zhou Hao, who is not interested in life sciences at all, can imagine the hard work in his studies.
Image source network. After a year of hard work, Zhou Hao returned to his freshman year again.
He found that he couldn't keep up with his classmates no matter what, and he didn't dare to take any interest in the subject anyway.
If he continued like this, he would still spend the remaining two years in pain, and he began to think about how he could get out of the situation he was in.
Image source network. Drop out of school? But a year of part-time work experience made him know that it is difficult to move forward in society without a degree.
At this time, he set his sights on the other schools around him. It's impossible to change majors, so is it possible to change schools?
Zhou Hao began to check the relevant information, and he found that there was hope for transferring.
Although it is impossible to transfer to a major university like Peking University, it is not impossible to go to another university to study your favorite major.
After learning that Zhou Hao wanted to transfer schools, the roommates were stunned. They advised Zhou Hao again and again, hoping that Zhou Hao could calm down and not be impulsive.
Image source network. At this time, Zhou Hao had made up his mind, he thanked his roommates for their concern for him, and also expressed his idea that he had to transfer schools.
Then he began to think about the most important questions: what school to transfer to, what major to study.
In order to determine his interests and future trends, Zhou Hao began to look through various materials, and he began to pay extensive attention to various colleges in Beijing and study their majors.
In the end, Zhou Hao chose Beijing Industrial Technician College. Because the ace major of this school is CNC lathe, which is Zhou Hao's favorite major, and it is also a promising major.
Everything was ready, but the hardest step came.
Image source network. Zhou Hao wants to convince his parents to agree to the transfer.
When I first went to Peking University, I was strongly recommended by my parents, but now I want to transfer to an ordinary junior college. Zhou Hao knows that it is very difficult to convince his parents.
But at this time, he had a clear goal, so he didn't have too much fear, and calmly told his parents what he thought.
Image source network. In line with Zhou Hao's assumption, his parents were stunned when they heard the news, and made countless ** persuasions to Zhou Hao.
The neighbors, relatives and friends around heard about it and talked about it. Zhou Hao's approach is completely contrary to everyone's perception, everyone says that Zhou Hao is crazy and wants to transfer to a worse school.
You've got a problem with your brain, right? If you don't go to Peking University, what do you do when you transfer to a junior college? If you do this, you will regret it later!
The relatives who watched Zhou Hao grow up immediately called Zhou Hao after hearing about it, reprimanded him for his thoughts, and tried to make Zhou Hao "sober up".
In the face of his relatives' "kind words and persuasion", Zhou Hao was unmoved, with a resolute attitude, saying that he would never regret it.
The persuasion of outsiders could not impress Zhou Hao at all, although he was in Peking University, he was studying a major he didn't like, and only he knew this kind of pain.
Zhou Hao's parents took turns to persuade Zhou Hao to dispel this idea, and Zhou Hao's father even proposed to let Zhou Hao transfer to Shenzhen University to study, but Zhou Hao refused.
Image source network. In front of his mother, Zhou Hao opened his heart for the first time and truthfully told the pain he felt when he was studying at Peking University, as well as the experience of taking a break from school to work in the south.
Speaking of when no matter how hard he tried in school, he couldn't make any progress, Zhou Hao's tears rolled down.
Zhou Hao's tears smashed like a hammer into his mother's heart, and his son, who was once cheerful and enthusiastic, is now tortured and depressed.
Image source network. Looking at the son who was sobbing in front of him, a wave of sadness surged into Zhou Hao's mother's heart. It was only then that she realized that the decision to help her son choose Peking University was wrong.
When the child grows up and has his own interests and hobbies, he can make his own decisions and do what he likes. Zhou Hao's mother persuaded her husband, hoping that he would agree to her son's request to transfer to another school.
How can any parent not feel sorry for their child, and in the end, Zhou Hao's father also agreed to his son's request.
On the other hand, Tong Huaqiang, the principal of the Technician College, was also stunned when he heard the news that the students of Peking University were going to transfer to his own school.
Image source network. Generally, everyone seeks better development, and strives to go to a better school, how can someone drop out of Peking University and come to a junior college.
This is something that no one understands, but Zhou Hao did just that.
In the winter of 2011, Zhou Hao came to the Technician College with his luggage.
The arrival of Zhou Hao also made the teachers of the Technician College start to think: what kind of education method is appropriate to treat a child who transfers from Peking University.
Image source network. The teachers of the Technician College seriously thought about Zhou Hao's education methods.
Being admitted to Peking University is enough to prove that Zhou Hao is excellent, and excellent people should formulate new excellent teaching plans. Here, Zhou Hao enjoys the life of "the stars holding the moon".
The school leaders let him go directly to the advanced class, and even equipped Zhou Hao with a teacher to teach him one-on-one.
There are high-end equipment imported from foreign countries in the school, and there are strict time requirements for use, but these equipment can also be used by Zhou Hao unconditionally, and he can use it for as long as he wants.
Image source network. Here, Zhou Hao lives very happily.
During class, Zhou Hao listened carefully to the teacher's teaching, and in practice, the teacher would also focus on guiding Zhou Hao; After class, Zhou Hao will also actively search for CNC-related materials and try new methods many times.
Zhou Hao quickly adapted to life here, and he also made rapid progress in learning, becoming a top student in his class, and there were more and more smiles on his face.
Being able to do what he really enjoys is his greatest joy.
Zhou Hao also lived up to the expectations and teachings of his teachers, and after two years in the school, he won a certificate of merit for the school.
In 2014, the National CNC Skills Competition began.
As the trump card major of the technician college, CNC has naturally cultivated a lot of talents. Among the outstanding students who were sent out, Zhou Hao suddenly appeared.
In the competition, Zhou Hao was in danger and gave full play to his strength, winning the unanimous affirmation of the judges.
In the end, Zhou Hao lived up to expectations and won the championship.
Image source network. But the honor of the champion did not let Zhou Hao get lost, he still studied and trained diligently as before.
In a blink of an eye, three years have passed, and Zhou Hao has graduated at this time.
Because of his excellent results in the national CNC competition, as soon as he graduated, many units rushed to contact Zhou Hao and wanted to invite him to join their company.
But at this time, Zhou Hao had other ideas.
Image source network. He wanted to stay in school and become a teacher.
The reason why he has such an idea is because during his time in this school, he saw many classmates with low self-esteem and depression.
Most of the students feel inferior because they are in a junior college, and many students do not study seriously at all, thinking that there is no future in studying these things.
Zhou Hao has seen too many such examples, he wants to be a teacher, one is to pass on his knowledge and experience to them, and the other is to change their mentality, so that they know that CNC learning is also very promising.
Image source network. Moreover, Zhou Hao also has his own selfishness.
If he wants to continue to engage in scientific research and continue to improve his skills and abilities, it is undoubtedly a better choice to stay in school.
The principal of the technician school also agreed with Zhou Hao's concept very much, and immediately hired him as a teacher of CNC major.
In this way, Zhou Hao's identity changed, from a former student to a teacher.
At the same time, there is other good news.
Image source network. Because Zhou Hao once won the championship of the national CNC competition, in line with the policy of talent settlement, he can settle in Beijing!
At this time, Zhou Hao was even more determined in his idea, as long as he studied hard in one aspect, whether it was an undergraduate or a junior college, he would have a bright future.
And Zhou Hao's deeds also inspired his students, his teachers are so good, there is such an example, the students learn harder.
In 2018, when the first national technical college teachers' professional ability competition was held, Zhou Hao signed up to participate, and sure enough, he won the first prize of the competition again.
But at this time, a new problem was in front of him. Although Zhou Hao's professional ability is strong, he does not have any advantages in terms of academic qualifications.
The colleagues around him are all masters, doctors, or at least undergraduates, but Zhou Hao only has a college degree.
Therefore, on the way to the college's evaluation of titles and promotions, he is always nowhere to be seen. This, in turn, has also affected his research and development.
"There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Although Zhou Hao's path in the Technician College came to an end, the former principal of the Technician College pointed out a new path for him.
Just when Zhou Hao was entangled and hesitating, Tong Huaqiang, the former principal of the technician school, contacted him.
Zhou Hao, do you want to come to my company? ”
Tong Huaqiang's invitation made Zhou Hao very moved.
Today, Tong Huaqiang has long since left the technician school and founded a vocational education consulting company on his own.
Tong Huaqiang's original intention in founding this company was to hope that China's vocational education could have better development.
The following year, Zhou Hao quit his job at the technician school and came to Zhou Huaqiang's company to become a vocational education consultant.
Today, in 2022, Zhou Hao is still in a vocational education consulting company.
Here, he is committed to helping vocational education institutions develop new teaching plans and develop teaching systems that are suitable for the long-term development of students.
From Peking University to the Technician School, from a teacher to a "teacher's teacher", Zhou Hao is walking steadily and steadily at every step.
Today's Zhou Hao has successfully settled in Beijing, has a promising job, and has found the meaning of life.
And he also achieved his goal and became a "winner in life" in a sense.
"I don't regret my choice, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion. As long as you work hard, nothing is impossible. ”
In the interview, Zhou Hao said this.
Zhou Hao has a clear goal and is willing to work hard and move forward towards the goal. Even if there were doubts about him in the process of moving forward, he didn't care much.
Yes, all roads lead to Rome.
It is undeniable that Zhou Hao has found his own suitable path.
There are thousands of roads in the world, and who can say which one is the right one?
Zhou Hao is a strong man in life, he dares to face difficulties, dare to accept challenges, and bravely pursue the ideal in his heart.
Maybe there will be bumps and failures on the road to pursuing ideals, but "how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain"?
Regarding Zhou Hao's abandonment of Peking University and his transfer to a junior college to study, do you think he did the right thing? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.
