Karren Wei grew up in the mountains of Gansu Province, and although the environment was difficult, his family always supported him to go to school. His parents attached great importance to education, and his father was a simple and kind old farmer, who had served in the army, and returned to his hometown after being discharged from the army, and was down-to-earth and capable; Her mother, Lian Hongxia, is a thrifty woman who not only takes care of the family and farmland, but also farms.
In 1997, when Karen Wei was born, the whole family had high hopes for his future, and he could feel the eagerness of his parents to hope for their son Jackie Chan since he was a child. In his childhood, his company was not cake and toys, but endless loess and firm faith.
As the eldest son in the family, the birth of Wei Karen brought great pressure to his father. In order to provide a better life for his family, Wei Karen's father contracted 20 acres of land in the village and relied on farming to make ends meet.
Although he owns a vast farmland, the farmer's income is too small to support the entire family. A few years later, two younger sisters and a younger brother were born, further increasing the financial pressure on the family.
Eventually, the father decided to hand over the land to his wife and chose to work outside the home. Together with a few fellow villagers, he went to Aksu, Xinjiang, where he worked for many years and worked very hard.
She could only go home during the Spring Festival, so she had very limited time with her father during her childhood.
Faced with the heavy pressure of life, Karen Wei learned to cook and take care of her younger siblings at the age of seven. Although he is young, he seems to be extraordinarily mature and has a sense of responsibility for life.
During his time at the school, he got along well with his classmates and showed good interpersonal skills. Despite the hardships of life, Karen never gave up on himself, he firmly believed that reading could change his fate, and he was determined to create a better life through his own efforts.
Looking at the hard work of his parents, he knows that only if he is good enough can he make the family live a better life.
Karen Wei: A Persistent on the Road to Learning Karren Wei is a person with strong belief and perseverance, and he knows the importance of learning. Every morning, before it was completely light, he would get up with his mother, make breakfast for his younger siblings, and then carry his school bag to school.
He was the first student to arrive in the classroom, and his behavior was appreciated by the teacher: "Karen Wei will definitely make a difference in the future!" Children of the same age may not have the same academic perseverance as him. ”
Wei Karen's mother, Lian Hongxia, felt very warm after hearing the teacher's praise. She would write letters to her husband, mentioning her son's studies in passing, so that he could rest assured that he was outside.
Every time my husband reads these letters, he feels that his hard work has not been in vain. Karren Wei's story shows us the perseverance and perseverance of a child on the road to learning, and his behavior and qualities are worthy of our learning and praise.
In the countryside, Karren Wei's father would always give him rewards during the Chinese New Year to motivate him to study. At the same time, he often shared the story of the army with his son, which made Wei Karen have a strong interest in the army.
Under the influence of his father, he planted a wish in his heart - to become a soldier who defends his family and country and does his duty. His father's words "Soldiers are the most handsome and majestic people, and their duty is to protect the country", made Wei Karen deeply admired and strengthened his determination.
Karen Wei was a very good student, and he was admitted to a junior high school in 2010 with excellent grades. But because the junior high school was far from the village, his father bought him a bicycle for transportation.
For the next three years, he rode the bike to school. Although he had to cross the muddy dirt road every day, and sometimes encountered windy weather, which made the road dusty and he couldn't reach his fingers, Wei Karen did not give up because of these difficulties.
He still maintains a good habit of not being late, arriving at the classroom on time every morning, and sometimes even sitting outside the classroom to read his textbook before the classroom door opens.
Karen Wei is a responsible person who loves learning, respects his teachers and cares about his classmates. The moment the classroom key was handed to him, he knew that it was an honorable task, and he felt extremely happy to open the door for his classmates every day.
Even when he is sick, he does not forget his duty. His actions and attitudes are as strict with himself as a real soldier. In school, he always won praise from teachers and classmates for his best performance, he patiently answered questions for his classmates, liked to discuss difficult problems with teachers, was not afraid of challenges, and was good at asking questions.
He always adheres to the belief that "God rewards hard work" and strictly demands himself with high standards. Eventually, he came out on top in both his class and grade rankings, and in 2013, he was successfully admitted to the county key middle school and started a new learning journey.
The county key middle school is further away from home, and he chooses to live in the school and work hard to realize his dream.
Wei Karen looked at her mother's increasingly bent waist, her heart was full of distress, and she even had the idea of giving up her studies. Fortunately, his mother, Lian Hongxia, understood his worries, and she encouraged Wei Karen to let go of the burden in her heart and work hard to get good grades during dinner.
The younger siblings are also very sensible, and they said that they would take good care of their mother and let their brother study with peace of mind. Deeply touched by this support and understanding, he realized that he was not only shouldering his own future, but also the expectations of his family.
With a responsible attitude, Wei Karen studied harder. In high school, he still adhered to the good habit of getting up early, was good at summarizing, filling in the gaps and missing the knowledge he had learned, and previewing the unlearned knowledge in advance.
He often shares his learning experience with his classmates, and is deeply loved and respected by everyone. In the school dormitory, he refused to gossip and devoted himself to his studies, reciting words regularly every day.
His high school life is like a pendulum, two o'clock and one line, except for going to the toilet and eating, the rest of the time is spent on studying. His classmates praised him for his behavior as a top student.
The arrival of winter and summer holidays has not changed Wei Karen's habits, he still works with his mother in his own fields, no matter how hot the sun is, he never gets tired of it. This positive attitude quickly paid off, as he scored an excellent score of 620 in the 2016 college entrance examination and has been at the top of his high school years.
However, he felt a little troubled when choosing a university and major, because he had always dreamed of being able to enter the National University of Defense Technology, which is one of the best military schools in my country and the only double-first-class university in our country, which is equivalent to Tsinghua University and Peking University among military schools, so the required score line is very high.
Karen Wei hesitated in the face of the fear of slipping. But his father's unwavering support made him decide to give it a go and realize his dream without regrets. So, he set the National University of Defense Technology as his first choice.
He had learned that the National University of Defense Technology is located in Changsha, Hunan, and its tuition and consumption levels are higher than those in Gansu mountain villages. He worries that it will put a greater burden on his family. After careful consideration, he decided to go to the construction site in the county seat to move bricks, because he heard that the remuneration for moving bricks was very high.
When he first arrived, the foreman of the construction site thought he was a child who had not gone to school, but he quickly proved his strength. In order to make more money, he worked very the construction site, running back and forth, and everyone was infected by his hard work.
In a blink of an eye, he spent more than a month on the construction site, ** was tanned, his hands were calloused, and his muscles were showing in the continuous exercise.
One day in August, the village director suddenly came to the construction site, and when the contractor heard about it, he immediately called Wei Karen. He thought that something was wrong at home, but he didn't expect that Wei Karen was a "diligent boy" who was praised by everyone in the village.
The village director excitedly brought the postman over, and before the postman could speak, he congratulated Wei Karen first: "You kid is too good!" Awesome, little Karen! Karren was stunned by the sudden compliment.
Then, the postman took out a fresh acceptance letter from his bag and handed it to Karen Wei with a smile on his face. Wei Karen took this notice with trembling hands, opened it, and saw a few big words written on it: National University of Defense Technology!
His dream has finally come true! He shouted excitedly, and the village chief and the postman laughed along. The village director said proudly: "Our village has been in place for so many years, you are the first college student to go out, or you went to such a good school!" ”
Wei Karen held the admission letter in his hand, his heart was full of gratitude, and he bowed deeply to the village director and the courier, indicating that their hard work was not in vain.
After that, Wei Karen returned to the construction site in high spirits, his face full of joy and confidence. Several co-workers felt a little strange to see him so happy. They know that the work on the construction site is very tiring, and Wei Karen has always been the kind of person who works silently and hard, how can he suddenly become so energetic?
So, they stepped forward to ask what had happened to Wei Karen. Wei Karen replied with a smile: "I was admitted to the National University of Defense Technology!" Hearing the news, everyone's eyes couldn't help but widen, and they all surrounded Wei Karen and congratulated him.
Even the contractor was very surprised, he didn't expect to see college students on the construction site, not to mention a highly educated talent!
Wei Karen earns tuition fees to go to the National University of Defense Technology, and his father takes a long leave to accompany him to enroll! For a time, the story of Wei Karen spread on the construction site, and his perseverance and hard work became an example for workers to educate their children.
Tongwei County** also heard the news and expressed its condolences and support to this top student. Wei Karen's father was far away in Xinjiang, and after learning about the incident, he immediately took a long vacation to accompany his son to go to school in Hunan.
At the end of August 2016, after earning enough tuition fees at the construction site, Wei Karen decisively quit his job and devoted himself to his new study life. As he was about to enter the school gate, he shouted to the mountain from the top of the mountain, "Mountain!
Mountain! I'm out there! The scene was recorded by local reporters and posted online, causing widespread concern.
Wei Karen, a high-achieving student on the construction site, has been blessed and expected by the majority of netizens on the Internet because of his instant hit. Full of expectations, he and his father embarked on a university life in Changsha, Hunan.
The busyness of university life prevents them from paying much attention to the bustling city of Changsha, but that doesn't affect their enthusiasm for the school. The seniors in the school gave them a warm welcome, which made Wei Karen no longer feel strange, and the students here wore military uniforms and had the air of the army, which reminded him of his father's past.
Wei Karen majored as an infantry commander, and when he settled down at school, his father also left. In this way, Karen Wei began his college life.
Wei Karen was full of expectations to be admitted to the National University of Defense Technology, but the high standards and strict requirements here made him feel pressured. He always thought that he was a child in the mountains who could endure hardship, but here, he found that everyone was doing their best for their dreams.
Standing in a military posture, running, and exercising his physical fitness every day, his results were not satisfactory every time, which hit him hard. However, Wei Karen did not give up, and he decided to change.
In one running race, he sprinted as hard as he could, but ended up finishing first, which devastated him, but also strengthened his determination to change.
Suffering a blow, Wei Karen did not stop, but began to make unremitting efforts under the guidance of the concept of "stupid birds fly first". He knew that he was carrying the expectations of many people and could not let them down.
In order to improve himself, Karen Wei devoted himself to physical training every morning, and his performance steadily improved in the continuous grinding and challenge. Although he may not be able to compare with others in physical events, he is quite good academically.
He devoted almost all of his free time to the library and enjoyed the pleasure of knowledge, which led him to excel in his studies.
