Dong Qing was born in Zhabei District, Shanghai. Both of her parents graduated from Fudan University. What her parents hope for Dong Qing is that she can study hard, go to college, find a stable job, and support herself.

Dong Qing’s father was very strict with Dong Qing, requiring her to take the initiative to do housework. She started washing dishes every day from the age of 7, worked as a cleaner in a hotel during holidays from middle school, ran a thousand meters on the playground every morning, and was not allowed to look in the mirror. , having to memorize poems and ancient prose...

The "shadows" these fathers brought to Dong Qing in her childhood made her once doubt whether she was her biological daughter? Until one day, her father raised his glass of wine and apologized to her, "I shouldn't have treated you this way for so many years...". Today, Dong Qing laments that her success stems from her father's "devil" education, which taught her to persevere.

Dong Qing recalled: "My father has a famous saying, no matter how dressed up a potato is, he is still a potato. He said that the time you spend looking at the mirror every day is better than reading more books." In addition, his father did not let his mother do it for Dong Qing. New clothes, I think girls shouldn’t put too much thought into dressing up. This was quite devastating to Dong Qing, who was still a little girl at the time.

When Dong Qing became somewhat literate, her father asked her to copy idioms and ancient poems every day, and also asked her to read them aloud and recite them. When she was a little older, she was asked to copy ancient Chinese prose. In addition to literary literacy, Dong Qing has also complained about physical exercise since he was a child.

Sometimes before dawn, my father would lift Dong Qing out of bed while she was still asleep and ask her to run a kilometer on the playground of Huaibei Middle School in front of her house. "At that time, the students were doing morning exercises, and I was alone. Running on the 400-meter track feels so silly. All the classmates and teachers in the school seem to be looking at you, like Forrest Gump." Dong Qing said that sometimes she would be smart and come downstairs. I found a doorway to hide in, guessing that the time was almost up, and then ran home panting, pretending to be out of breath and said, "I'm done running." Dong Qing didn't understand why his father adopted such an educational method for him until he grew up.

Dong Qing is deeply influenced by his father

Dong Qing’s father is from Chongming, Shanghai. He grew up in the countryside and lived in poverty. Dong Qing's grandfather died young, and his grandmother gave birth to this son when she was very old. The mother and son depended on each other. Dong Qing said: "Before going to school every day, my father would go to the pond to catch fish and shrimps, and follow my grandma to the market to sell them to earn some living expenses before going to school.

When I was in high school , my father asked the teacher at school which university I should take. The teacher said, if you like liberal arts so much, just take the journalism department of Fudan University. "At that time, Dong Qing's father did not know how difficult it was to get into the famous major of this famous university. After putting in all my efforts, I finally passed the exam. "My father's own experience made him particularly convinced that people's destiny must be changed by themselves, and everything is in their own hands. This is how he came step by step, so he also has such expectations for me. I feel that you must You should study hard." Dong Qing said that her father is a very strict, persevering and kind person, and she is very lucky that she has inherited these advantages from him.
