13 years ago, Zhou Hao made a surprising decision - to give up the admission qualification of Peking University and choose to enter an ordinary technical college.
This decision caused widespread discussion and questioning at the time: why would a student with an admission letter from Peking University make such a "contrary to common sense" choice?
Zhou Hao's parents also had difficulty understanding their son's decision at first, but after careful consideration and discussion within the family, they finally respected Zhou Hao's choice.
And Zhou Hao, a former freshman at Peking University, how has his life trajectory changed? Did he prove himself right? Today, 13 years later, he is standing again?
When Zhou Hao proposed to his parents the idea of dropping out of Peking University, the news was like a bolt from the blue, causing a huge shock in Zhou's family.
Zhou Hao, their son, used to be the well-respected and energetic teenager in the city's key middle school.
In 2008, Zhou Hao won the top 5 in the district in the college entrance examination with his extraordinary academic performance, becoming the pride of his family.
His success is not only an affirmation of his efforts, but also the best reward for the hard work and dedication of the Zhou family. Zhou Hao was easily admitted to the School of Life Sciences of Peking University, which is undoubtedly a huge honor in the Zhou family.
However, Zhou Hao's inner world is completely different from what the outside world sees. Despite his remarkable academic achievements, his mind was not satisfied with the traditional academic path.
Deep down in Zhou Hao's heart, he is full of infinite interest and enthusiasm for practical things.
This passion can be traced back to his childhood, when he developed a keen interest in the various small household appliances at home, often picking up a screwdriver and taking it apart with gusto.
After entering Peking University, Zhou Hao's interest has not diminished.
Instead, he found himself increasingly obsessed with these hands-on operations. He often spends a lot of time on a variety of machinery, from simple household appliances to more complex ones.
His dormitory desk is often piled with all kinds of tools and parts, which is rare in the dormitory of Peking University.
Zhou Hao is keen to understand how these machines work, and enjoys the process of deconstruction and reconstruction, which makes him feel more fulfilled and happy than studying the theories in life science books.
At this time, Zhou Hao began to think about his future. He realized that although the School of Life Sciences of Peking University provided high-quality educational resources, it was not an area that he was really passionate about and good at.
He began to explore other possible paths, and this exploration eventually led him to the idea of dropping out of school with his parents.
When Zhou Hao firmly announced his decision to leave Peking University to his parents, the atmosphere in the Zhou family suddenly became tense and heavy. Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were shocked and puzzled by the news.
In their minds, Peking University is not only China's top university, but also a dream temple for countless students. They couldn't understand why Zhou Hao was willing to give up such a precious opportunity and choose an unconventional and uncertain path.
The opposition of parents is not unfounded. They have worked hard all their lives and only hope that their son will have a stable and bright future. In their view, Peking University not only represents the peak of academics, but also a symbol of social status and success.
Zhou Hao's decision, in their opinion, was tantamount to giving up a flower-paved avenue and stepping into a thorny path instead.
However, Zhou Hao's determination is strong, and his love for the mechanical and numerical control profession is unquestionable. In family meetings, he patiently explained his ideas and plans to his parents.
He talked about his confusion and discomfort at Peking University, as well as his passion for mechanical operation. Zhou Hao hopes that his parents will understand that although this path is unusual, it is his true interest, and he believes that he can find his true self and future on this path.
In this process, Zhou's mother's attitude played a decisive role. Initially, she, like her husband, felt unacceptable to Zhou Hao's decision. However, as time went on, she began to reflect.
Zhou's mother knows that her son has always been a smart and rational child. She began to realize that perhaps Zhou Hao's choice was not untargeted.
Zhou's mother began to act as a bridge of communication between father and son, easing the atmosphere and persuading Zhou's father to think from her son's point of view.
After several months of repeated discussion and reflection, Zhou's father's attitude gradually softened.
He began to understand that everyone has their own dreams and pursuits, and as a parent, the most important thing is to support their son's choice, even if it is different from his own expectations.
Zhou's father realized that Zhou Hao had a clear plan and deep enthusiasm for his future, which is something that any parent should be proud of.
Eventually, in the spring of 2011, Zhou Hao's parents agreed to his decision.
Zhou Hao officially left Peking University, and with the blessing of his parents and his vision for the future, he entered a technical college and began his CNC professional studies.
The technical college was very different from his former life at Peking University.
Zhou Hao felt a new atmosphere - there was no solemnity and historical precipitation like Peking University, but it was full of practice and creativity.
Zhou Hao's heart was full of excitement, and he knew that this would be the starting point for him to realize his dream.
In the technical college, Zhou Hao chose to major in numerical control. This profession is both foreign and attractive to him.
Every day, he immerses himself in the world of machinery, constantly learning and practicing.
Zhou Hao found that the way of learning here is completely different from that of Peking University. The classroom is no longer just a theoretical lecture, but a lot of practical operations and practical case analysis. This direct and hands-on learning method made Zhou Hao feel unprecedented excitement and satisfaction.
Zhou Hao's operating skills improved rapidly. Not only did he master the basic mechanical principles and operating skills, but he also began to experiment with more complex mechanical fabrication and innovation.
He spends almost all of his spare time in the laboratory, constantly researching and trying. Zhou Hao's enthusiasm and talent soon attracted attention in the academy. His teachers praised his technical ability and innovative spirit, and his classmates were full of admiration for him.
