Tang Shangjun is still taking the college entrance examination.

The college entrance examination results are in, and application forms are in full swing. How many students are looking forward to being named on the gold medal list and becoming famous once they step into a lofty university. However, among this group of eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys, there was one person who seemed out of place.

His name is Tang Shangjun. When he first took the college entrance examination, Tang Shangjun had the same idea as other candidates. They all wanted to be admitted to a relatively good university. However, everything was unexpected. Because of the college entrance examination, I didn't perform well and didn't get good grades. I didn't even get into the bachelor's degree, so I had to go to a junior college. ?

It’s a pity that Tang Shangjun failed to get into the good school he dreamed of and wanted to repeat his studies. However, his family and relatives wanted him to choose a university based on his existing scores and did not agree with him to repeat his studies at all. , at first he also considered following his parents' wishes, but he was unwilling to do so. In the end, he decided to drop out of school and resume his studies without telling his family.

In this way, he has been moving forward on the track of repeating his studies. At the beginning, his teachers and classmates were very supportive, thinking that he had potential and bravery, and that he would definitely have a good future. However, as the number of times and age increased, Everyone started to worry about him. ?

But he never gave up. Finally, when he was 28 years old, he was admitted to China University of Political Science and Law with excellent results, and his mentality quietly changed. Under the persuasion of his relatives, he wavered and wanted to accept this not-so-perfect ending. ?

He took the admission notice and told his parents the truth about his repeated studies. Their parents did not blame him and shared with him the joy of entering a higher education institution. ?

But fate always plays tricks on people. Just when Tang Shangjun was ready to enter school, a nightmare struck - his father was seriously ill. His father was diagnosed with cancer, which made the already poor family even worse. He knew that his family could not afford the high medical expenses. In order to treat his father, he had to give up the opportunity to study in a first-class university and embark on the road of repeating his studies again. . ?

However, 20,000 yuan could not cure cancer. His father still failed to defeat the disease, and his father passed away not long after. He was deeply hit by his father's death and found it difficult to escape from the pain. His college entrance examination scores also dropped by more than 100 points. He, who had always been very ambitious, was obviously not satisfied and decided to continue studying. He would not give up until he was admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China.

He still took the college entrance examination in 2022. This was the 14th time and his score was 518. This score was further away from his goal. Obviously, Tang Shangjun failed again.

He is 34 years old this year. Even if he passes the exam this time, he will be 38 years old after graduation. This age will not give him any advantage in the workplace. Tang Shangjun must have understood this truth after taking the college entrance examination for so many years.

It’s just that he has a persistence that is difficult for others to understand, and his dream that has not been realized for many years may no longer be a simple academic certificate in his heart, but more like an explanation of his persistence for many years.

Perhaps he already regretted it in his heart, but he just went further and further down the road of re-reading, just like his signature on the social platform: "I didn't do what I should do at the appropriate age, and I didn't insist on it." It was just an afterthought.”

In fact, Tang Shangjun also relied on himself to earn living expenses during these years. He traded in stocks and learned business knowledge, which he used to support himself without any problems, and his family saw him. He was too obsessed with the college entrance examination and never forced him to make changes. After all, life is his own, as long as Tang Shangjun thinks it is worth it.
