In February 2007, he won the first prize in the New Concept Composition Competition. When he was interviewed in peking university independent recruitment, the interviewer didn't even know which province Huizhou No.1 Middle School he was studying in was located in.

No one had ever been admitted to Peking University before. He was originally a science student, but he had to change to liberal arts because his physics score was hovering between 20 and 30. Since then, his grades have improved, but until the end of last semester in senior three, he was still ranked 100 in the whole grade.

When he was a freshman, he wrote An Argument in Germination magazine, trying to prove it to people? High school can spend a year making up for any regret as long as you make up your mind? . He left his mailing address at the end of the article and invited middle school students to prove the problem with him. Two years after the article was published, he received nearly 10000 letters.

Now, he is about to finish his four-year undergraduate studies with the first place in the history department of Peking University.

Immersed in the literary world, my grades are in the bottom ten in my class.

Throughout the middle school, I have never seen my grandson in the eyes of teachers and classmates? Good student? . When he was in junior high school, he went to a boarding school. Most of his memories of junior high school life are related to online games. In order to play online games, he often pretends to be sick and goes home to rest. In the evening, he sneaked into the Internet cafe while his father was asleep, and then hurried home before his father woke up in the morning.

He suddenly before the mid-term exam? Awaken? After studying hard for half a year, I stumbled into Huizhou No.1 Middle School.

After entering high school, his enthusiasm for online games plummeted, because he found new interesting novels. Influenced by his father, who taught in the Chinese department of the university, he came into contact with Wang Xiaobo's works and began to read all kinds of novels crazily. He said:? Everyone who is addicted to novels inevitably has a seducer, and my seducer is Wang Xiaobo. ?

In Wang Xiaobo? Time trilogy? what's up Temptation? In contrast, he is immersed in the world of literature all day. He described his freshman life:

? Change all Chinese and English mathematics, politics, history and geography into novels or literature; Stay in the library all day; When I took the Chinese exam, I spent half an hour on the topic of the composition, and then spent two hours writing a 3000-word composition and handing it in, and then got a score of 10; Spend a week squatting in the library to write experimental novels, write them for everyone to judge, burn them as long as one person says he doesn't like them, submit them if everyone likes them, and then sink to the bottom of the sea; All morning reading is changed to poetry recitation, and the banner of vernacular poetry is raised in the noisy environment where the whole class recites ancient Chinese?

Accompanied by this free and easy, it is the red light hanging high in the exam results. In fact, this is inevitable. Except for the English (forum) class of the head teacher, he spends most of his time reading novels in the library. There are 48 people in the class. What is his score? Stay in the bottom ten? What do the teachers expect of him? Bao Hui University (Huizhou University) and Chongshan University (Shantou University)? .

At that time, Sun thought that exam-oriented education and literary ideal were opposite, because they were fundamentally different, one was based on mechanical speed training and the other was based on talent. In his opinion, accept? Overall mediocrity? Is exam-oriented education close? Great shame? ,? Limited time and energy can't cover many subjects that you are not good at, and mathematics is really a painful tragedy for a person who specializes in literature and history. ? Because of this, he doesn't care about the exam results, even if all subjects are hung with red lights, but he dare not let his parents know. Because they are embarrassed to hit me, after all, I have grown taller than them? .

You must jump into the river of exam-oriented education, although you may wash away the edges and corners.

In the second year of high school, Sun had to choose to be a liberal arts student. At this time, he found that he was not as utilitarian as when he was a freshman? Reading for the sake of reading? And began to crave recognition from others. He firmly believes that he has extraordinary talent, but many students around him are? I don't know what else there is in this world besides doing problems. .

But the reality constantly frustrated him. With more than 400 points, you can't even find a reason to comfort yourself? .

He thinks that exam-oriented education always makes him? Shame on you? Grading ceremony and details: According to school regulations, the seating order in the exam should be arranged according to the ranking of the last exam. The classroom in his class is the first examination room, and he has to carry a schoolbag every exam? Shame? Move to the third or even fourth examination room.

During an exam, he saw that the girl in the same class who had been ranked in the top five in the past also went to the third examination room. He looked at her with a little schadenfreude, but the girl just said lightly: I was sick in the last exam and didn't take part in the English exam. ?

A strong sense of hitting the wall made him start to consider a complete break with the conventional road to further studies, and he began to find a way out for himself, not the way out for the college entrance examination (Weibo). At that time, he felt that taking the college entrance examination was a compromise on exam-oriented education. Is a rather shameful act. . He firmly believes that his talent can enable him to enter the ideal university through a path without taking the college entrance examination.

With high expectations, he signed up for the 8th New Concept Composition Competition and Peking University's independent entrance examination, but failed. It hit him hard, and he began to realize? I must jump into the river of exam-oriented education, although it may wash away the edges and corners of my stone? .

He set five requirements for himself: First, he moved all the books unrelated to the exam home, leaving only conversation record in Hu Shi's later years; Second, never enter the library, all courses are indispensable; The third is to put away the love and hate for the teacher, in order to acquire the knowledge of taking the exam; The fourth is to ensure the time for self-study in the evening and actively carry out 3-hour exam-oriented training; The fifth is to make a daily plan and strictly complete it.

Sun entered senior three with a simulated test score of about 450 points and the above five requirements. He secretly set himself a sprint goal: Sun Yat-sen University. Extremely wild? China Renmin University, Wang Xiaobo's alma mater.

The sprint from Sanben to Peking University was successfully completed in one year.

In the initial stage of implementing these five requirements, Sun's effect was not obvious. He thinks that under the examination-oriented education system, bad students? Every step forward, you have to pay a ratio? Good student? Higher cost? As we all know, teachers nowadays are reluctant to help underachievers. ? But he felt he had no choice. Just like when a person is dying, he just wants to live and has no other purpose. ? In his view, in the sprint period of senior three, the method is secondary, and the most important thing is attitude and persistence.

Gradually, his score approached 600 points, but the growth momentum slowed down. His grades hovered between 590 and 600 for a long time, and he realized that he was in a bottleneck period. In Guangdong province, a score of about 600 in the college entrance examination will mean that he may not be admitted to a key university.

At this time, he obtained the re-examination qualification of the 9th New Concept Composition Competition. It was six months before the college entrance examination.

Teachers and parents advised him not to go to Shanghai for a second interview because it would make him miss school for at least two weeks. For a senior three student whose grades are in a bottleneck period and need to break through, the significance of two weeks seems self-evident. But does Sun think he is? Idealism is budding again? Put aside all concerns and go to Shanghai for a second interview.

Facts have proved that his choice is correct. He succeeded in winning the first prize. At the subsequent meeting of colleges and universities, Cheng Yuzhui, a professor of Chinese Department of Peking University, and Liu Mingli, director of the Admissions Office, took a fancy to his idealism and gave him the qualification to participate in Peking University's independent enrollment. He can be admitted in the college entrance examination with a score of 20 points lower than the admission score. This means that if he wants to be admitted to Peking University, he still needs to improve by 50 points in the remaining five months.

After that, to his surprise, his biggest headache in English came from attending? New concept? After the first exam, he completely broke through the bottleneck. Before that, he had never passed 65,438+000 in English, and since that exam, he has never passed 65,438+065,438+00. The scores of other subjects are also improving steadily.

That's what he explained later? A complete leap? In fact, everyone's potential is often suppressed by low self-expectation, which comes from external institutional oppression. He believes that the deep-seated problem of exam-oriented education lies in the worship of scores and the emphasis on overall mediocrity. ? In the discourse system of exam-oriented education, it is not surprising that the so-called good students get good grades and the bad students get poor grades. Score evaluation has become a moral value judgment, and personality is constantly denied by the score system. ? In his opinion, is it appropriate? New concept? The affirmation of the first prize is the key to success.

In his progress, the college entrance examination came as scheduled. The final language 1 15, mathematics 132, English 130, comprehensive 146, history 127, with a total score of 650, successfully completed the sprint from three books to Peking University.

In the relatively more relaxed and free learning environment of Peking University, he is like a duck to water. He studied Chinese first, then history, and the history department ranked first. Former President of the Western Society of Peking University, representing Peking University to attend the World Model United Nations Conference in The Hague, the Netherlands, and won the title of Top Ten Lectures.

At the end of the article "An Argument" which attracted nearly ten thousand replies, he wrote:? I believe that my talent has never been washed away by the river of exam-oriented education, but I really successfully challenged exam-oriented education. Finally, I only have two hopes: first, I hope that people with ideals will not bow to reality; Secondly, I hope everyone can help me solve this problem, and I hope this applies to each of you. ?
