Tsinghua's inspirational story one:
It's not terrible to fall, but it's terrible to never have the will to fight!
1In August, 999, Li, a senior high school student in southern Hubei, Xianning City, was admitted to Peking University with a total score of 646. A year later, he was expelled from Peking University for cheating in the exam.
In the second college entrance examination, he was blocked by China Renmin University with a score of 1. 200 1, Li burned his bridges and launched the third sprint. In August 2002, he was finally admitted to the Mathematics Department of Tsinghua University with the second place in the college entrance examination. The reporter interviewed Li, who studied in Tsinghua University, by telephone, and went to Xianning for an interview to learn about the legendary struggle experience of a Tsinghua student.
Cheating in the exam, the pride of Peking University was dismissed.
A small room with an area of less than 10 square meter next to E 'nan High School in Xianning City. 70-year-old Li Maobing dug out a stack of honorary certificates from the box, all of which were written with the name of his son Li, which was his pride as a father.
Li, male, 1982, from Jiayu County, Xianning City. His parents divorced when he was 9 years old. 1September, 1996, admitted to key high schools in southern Hubei province with excellent results. The father who retired from a small coal mine rented a room next to the high school in southern Hubei for his son's studies. In this top-notch key high school, Li has always been among the best, especially in math.
In the eyes of teachers and classmates, he is from Tsinghua Peking University. 1July, 1999, Li didn't do well in the college entrance examination, only scored 636 points. It is impossible for him to apply for his favorite major in mathematics or economic management at Peking University. At the suggestion of the head teacher Xiong, he filled in the chemistry department of Peking University.
This year, he was admitted to the Geology Department of Peking University with a total score of 646. The letter of acceptance from a famous university put Li in a dilemma. Father Li Maobing, based on his experience as an old miner, disagreed with his son's going to the Geology Department and asked him to repeat his studies.
After fierce ideological struggle, in September this year, Li still stepped into the school gate of Peking University. After entering the free university campus, Li gradually relaxed his requirements for study. He started skipping classes, surfing the Internet all night and playing games. As a result, the college physics exam in the second semester was a mess.
After the exam, Li suddenly felt panic: he failed in one course. What if he fails college physics again? After the exam, go to the physics department to find Miss Li. Seeing the paper on the teacher's desk, he couldn't help but have a brainwave: why not find an opportunity to secretly make up the unfinished questions?
At noon the next day, he was caught by the teacher when he sneaked into the office to correct the test paper. This serious fraud was quickly reported to the Academic Affairs Office. According to the regulations of Peking University, Li will be expelled from school. Mr. Xiong, the head teacher of his high school, was angry and anxious when he learned about it. He called Peking University and asked the school to proceed from the children's future and handle it as appropriate in the attitude of treating diseases and saving lives.
A few days later, Peking University made a decision: either stay in school for one year or drop out of school automatically. Li's brain is blank. Under the comfort of the counselor, he chose to drop out of school automatically. That evening, I called my father Li in Xianning. I want to come back and retake the exam.
When Li Maobing received a phone call from his son, he rushed to Beijing anxiously. As soon as he arrived at Peking University, he was invited to the office by Secretary Song of the Department of Geology. After coming out of the office of Secretary Song, Li Fu, who knew the truth, suddenly aged a lot. Seeing the disappointment and vicissitudes on his father's face, Li suddenly hated himself and hoped that his father would severely scold him and hit him.
But my father only said:? Don't say anything Come back next year. ?
Under pressure, the second college entrance examination failed.
On August 10, 2000, Li turned out the high school textbook and returned to the southern Hubei high school, and returned to his familiar and unfamiliar senior three class. In order not to affect Li's study, Xiong and Li's father concealed the truth that Li dropped out of school because he didn't like geology.
Dropping out of Peking University and returning to the senior three re-examination made the figure of Liangliang Ali News a household name in the whole southern Hubei High School and even Xianning City. People are paying attention to: Can Li Mingnian be admitted to a prestigious school like Peking University in the college entrance examination? In July, 20001year, due to great psychological pressure and the shadow left by dropping out of Peking University, Li suffered another waterloo in the college entrance examination.
After the college entrance examination, he gave himself a pessimistic estimate of 640 points. After evaluating the score, Li was afraid to go home and face his father or himself. He just wants to escape. In the evening, he got on the last bus back to his hometown Jiayu County in frustration, and sat alone in the reservoir near Sanhu Lianjiang for three days and three nights!
He entered the water three times, but returned to the shore three times. A voice repeatedly asked him: What is this death? Are you worthy of your old father? Are you worthy of a teacher who loves you like a child? Don't! I can go back to Peking University, and I can be admitted to Tsinghua! ?
When the sun rose for the third time, Li dragged his collapsed body back to the small room rented next to the high school in southern Hubei. The old father's eyes are bloodshot. He hasn't slept for three days since his son disappeared. Seeing his son come home safely, he breathed a sigh of relief and silently made a bowl of egg noodles that his son loved to eat and put it on the bed.
According to the estimated score, Li volunteered to fill in the report? China Renmin University? . Results The admission score of China Renmin University was 636, and Li was blocked by one point. At this time, Zhengzhou University sent Li an admission notice. Do you want to continue studying or go to Zhengzhou University?
Liang Liang Li faces another problem. His father discussed with him, hoping that he could repeat his studies for another year, but Li was worried: What if next year's college entrance examination results are worse than this year? Father and son can't make up their minds. They found Mr. Xiong. Teacher Xiong confided in Li's father. The most painful person now is your son. No one can help him, no one can understand his feelings. It doesn't matter whether he goes to Zhengzhou University or not, the key is whether he can get out of the shadows himself. ?
Teacher Xiong's words suddenly untied the knot in Li's heart. You should get up from where you fell! ? He immediately decided to choose to repeat it.
Third, I went to the examination room and finally dreamed of Tsinghua.
In August, 20001year, Li was admitted to southern Hubei high school again with a tolerant attitude. Coincidentally, Xiong became Li's class teacher.
At this time, his former classmate of Peking University is about to enter junior year. In southern Hubei high school? Lee? This name is too loud. In order to eliminate the interference, Li changed his name to Li Dexing. In the first semester of senior three, Li's state was extremely unstable, sometimes he was the first in the grade and sometimes he was in the top ten. Teacher Xiong is anxious and worried about this, and his psychological pressure is no less than his favorite student.
In the final exam of the first semester, Li scored only 650 points, ranking 13 in the whole grade. On the afternoon of the result announcement 1, Li hid in a remote game room and played games crazily.
At 1 1 p.m. in the evening, three teachers, including Xiong and his father, searched several playrooms before finding them. Seeing that his loyal disciple is so self-destructive, Mr. Xiong Kevin·Z can't hide his disappointment. Unable to control his emotions, he rushed up and kicked Liangliang Ali. Then came a three-hour sermon, during which Li kept silent and wept silently.
After the beginning of the new semester, Li seems to be a different person. He made a cruel study plan for himself: get up at 5: 30 in the morning to run, then recite English and Chinese, study by himself at night until 2: 00 in the morning, and sleep only three or four hours a day. Li's grades began to soar, and his state gradually stabilized. On July 8, 2002, after the college entrance examination, Li confidently estimated the score: 680.
This time he finally applied for his favorite major according to his own wishes? Department of Mathematics, Tsinghua University. Soon, the results were announced, with a total score of 678. Among them, he got full marks for the college entrance examination composition "Choice of Mind" written by his own personal experience.
Today, Li has been studying in Tsinghua campus for nearly a year. At school, he never skipped classes again. In the final exam last semester, his scores in every major course were above 80. In addition, he joined the party at school and took Japanese and economics as elective courses.
Li said? This experience is a treasure of my life. It taught me how to face setbacks, pressures and honors! ?
Editor: Someone called the college entrance examination? Black July The college entrance examination was held in July. Now, the college entrance examination is held in June. Some people call it the college entrance examination? Black June? Yes
The college entrance examination is really a hurdle, but even if you stumble here, the sky will not fall. Speaking of setbacks, I'm afraid what Li experienced was unacceptable to most students, but he survived. Through his own efforts, he finally got into a satisfactory school.
Li's special experience and story hope to give some encouragement and enlightenment to senior three students who are preparing for the college entrance examination.
Tsinghua inspirational story II
Memories of a Tsinghua student
Three years ago, I stepped into the door of high school with excitement. I am like a naive child, full of curiosity and freshness about everything around me. In high school, I started a different life: because my home is far away, I had to live in the school dormitory, and I was spoiled at home, so I had to do too many things that I could only do by myself; As an experimental class, the class is full of competition and pressure, and my entrance examination results do not make me optimistic. At that time, I just entered school, and I was as diligent, rigorous and pragmatic as when I was in junior high school. I began to study hard as soon as I entered the door. The first good news was that I ranked fifth in the mid-term exam.
Maybe I was really too young then, maybe I never left home, maybe I never left my parents' navigation. The fifth place made me feel inferior and jumped on the steps of confidence. There is only one word difference between self-confidence and conceit, one thought difference. I took this achievement as evidence that I was superior to others, and I completely believed my mind at once. Satisfaction, vanity, pride and high emotions poured in. In the second half of the semester, I was dizzy and immersed in novels, animations and other entertainment. I clearly remember that when I received the final report card, my mind was blank. I stood there, at a loss. When the head teacher came to talk to me, my tears kept running down, wetting my skirt and my heart?
To enter an excellent group, the first thing to endure and accept is that others are smarter than themselves.
After entering the second year of senior high school, you will find that there are really many smart people by communicating with your classmates. At this time, it is very important to keep a correct attitude. When you enter an excellent group, you must first endure and accept the fact that others are smarter than yourself. I remember once I was mentally unbalanced for a while and always felt? Oh, what makes you do the problem faster than me! ?
? Oh, your study time is less than mine, and you did as well as me in the exam! ? Later, I gradually realized that there are many talented people everywhere in China with a large population, so now I think it's normal to meet many people smarter than me. But there are also many people who learn well even if they are not smart. I don't compare my head with others now, just as I don't compare my looks with others. Because it's natural and I can't change it. What I can change is only what I can change through my efforts the day after tomorrow, just like academic performance and so on. So I won't be lazy, I believe? Stupid birds fly first? .
Another mentality is not to compare with others, as the saying goes? People are more annoying than people? . If you compare yourself with others, you will lose yourself and create an unfairness in your mind, which will affect your normal study and thinking. If you dispel the injustice in your heart, put the result of pursuing your own progress on the scale of others, and find that you seem to be regressing, you will be very depressed and have no motivation. I think it is very important to learn to applaud your progress and then move forward vigorously.
When everyone around me is crazy about studying to stay up late, I am studying in my own way.
After the third year of high school, I entered a round of review, which was very boring and annoying, so someone said yes? Black senior? . My third year of high school is relatively easy compared with those students who started to study hard in the third year of high school. Generally speaking, the foundation of senior one and senior two is relatively solid, so my senior three will go step by step, and it will be easier for senior one and senior two. When people around me are crazy about studying and staying up late, I am still studying in my own way. Staying up late is contagious. I remember that one person stayed up late at the beginning of our dormitory. Later, except for one classmate who stayed up from time to time, I didn't stay up late. I asked them if they were sleepy and hard, and they said that it would be uncomfortable to lie in bed thinking about others staying up late to study. This is another state of mind. I don't feel sick. They stayed up late and were sleepy the next day, so they couldn't concentrate during the day. I slept for eight hours and I was very energetic during the day. Actually, I made a lot of money. Why waste an hour or two?
It's very important to relax in senior three. If you stretch too tight, your learning efficiency will drop, and you will feel that you can't do a problem without turning your head for a long time.
I was infected by the atmosphere in my class in senior three, and I added some at the same time? Seasoning? For example, reading some magazines and novels, listening to some radio, music and so on. Because senior three, especially in the later period, always do the same face problems and feel depressed, so I find something to do as a pastime. Sometimes I will chat with many classmates or watch them play games at noon, but these are not hobbies, just to better devote myself to the next one? Exercise war? Do it in the middle.
In my impression, the top students in our class didn't study hard in the end, and sometimes they would say something irrelevant together. To be honest, it is really important to relax in senior three. If you stretch too tight, your learning efficiency will drop, and you will feel that a problem won't last long.
In fact, I think if you regard high school as a battlefield, you should not only fight the study war, but also fight the mentality war. If you have a good attitude, you will get twice the result with half the effort, play your own level, and even play beyond the norm; If you don't adjust your mentality well, it will affect your normal work. If you get rid of your mental burden, you will feel energetic in everything.
Finally, to sum up, I want to say that there are some very correct traditional learning methods and experiences, which we have listened to again and again, so there is always a feeling in our minds? Ah, exactly? But I didn't really do it. I think those methods and experiences are really useful, as long as you really do it. But I haven't implemented much myself, because I think everyone has a set of learning methods that suit them. You can integrate some traditional methods and skills and other people's experience into your own model. However, the backbone is your own, and only by exploring and practicing yourself can you use it. Copying others' experience mechanically is likely to backfire. May the students who haven't taken the college entrance examination find their own set and create their own glory.
Tsinghua Inspirational Story III
Tsinghua's model of self-improvement
Yi's speech at the Tsinghua University Alumni Scholarship Awards Conference 2015;
I'm in poor health and can't get out of the wheelchair. You may wonder how I studied and lived in Tsinghua under such circumstances. To tell the truth, life in Tsinghua was not easy for me at first, and there were many difficulties that ordinary people would never notice, but I was undoubtedly lucky, because I got a lot of help in this garden, and it was with these help that I was able to express my gratitude here now.
I come from Yuxi City, Yunnan Province, a quiet town in central Yunnan. The quiet life was destroyed by a disease. When I was 6 years old, I got rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an incurable disease that erodes and destroys human joints. It's called. Immortal cancer. From then on, I became unable to squat, run or jump? And because of the perennial use of hormone therapy, when I was 10 years old, I developed bilateral femoral head necrosis. After being rescued in the hospital for two months, I finally passed by death, but I never got up again.
Even though I was in a wheelchair, I didn't give up my life. In the remaining two years of primary school, junior high school and senior high school, I studied harder. I remember that every day, my mother rode me to school and then carried me to the classroom on the fourth floor. I remember again and again, my classmates and teachers carried me to the fifth floor for physics experiments. I have been sad and desperate, and I have been faced with the choice of life and death. But no matter what difficulties I encountered, no matter what burden my illness caused to my family and people around me, my parents, my teachers and my classmates didn't give up on me. Study hard, this may be the only way for me to express my gratitude.
Although I dropped out of school twice because of the deterioration of my condition in middle school, with the selfless help of others and the meticulous care of my family, I was admitted to a local key high school and got the college entrance examination score of the whole province 16 in 20 12.
When I first learned the results of the college entrance examination, my family and I had mixed feelings? Will any university be willing to accept such a student who is physically inconvenient and can't move freely? At this time, the teacher of Tsinghua Admissions Office contacted us actively, saying that Tsinghua would not refuse a student whose grades were on the line and who was constantly striving for self-improvement. It was the first time that I deeply realized the connotation of Tsinghua's school motto: self-improvement, kindness and morality. After that, my father took care of his elderly grandmother and young sister at home alone; My mother gave up her job as a teacher and accompanied me to Tsinghua.
It has been the tenth year since I came to Tsinghua campus. Over the years, my condition has been developing, and dozens of joints in my body have been destroyed and severely deformed. Not only can I not stand up, but it is also difficult to turn my head, raise my hand and bend over. Every rainy and cold weather, my hands and feet still hurt, and I have to take painkillers to move. The medical expenses of my illness and the living expenses of my mother and I also caused a great financial burden to my family. From Yunnan, I have a weak computer foundation and it is difficult to move my fingers. When I first entered school, I spent two hours practicing the most basic typing every day. This may not be a big deal for many people, but it is a real pain for me.
Once again, I realized that Tsinghua's virtue is profound. Soon after I entered the school, the teachers in the department took the initiative to help me apply for an alumni scholarship, which reduced the financial burden on my family and enabled me to concentrate more on my studies. School leaders have always cared about and encouraged me. Alumni tutor Zhu treats me like a family and inspires me with her positive energy drum. My head teacher took the initiative to help me apply for exemption from physical education class, and often asked me about my study and illness; When participating in various group activities, the counselor personally arranged for classmates to help me go upstairs and downstairs; At the end of each semester, my classmates carried me to the boys' dormitory on the second floor and answered questions I didn't understand. With the help of others, I gradually got used to the study and life in Tsinghua, and the time to work together with you is precious. My academic performance has also improved from grade 80 when I entered school to grade 10 now.
? Help? These two words are really important to me. Because I am an extremely fragile person, without my mother around, I can't even do daily activities such as holding a cup and dressing; I can't even change classrooms without the help of my classmates. My relatives and friends have propped up a sky for me, and my senior teachers have paved a way for me. I can feel it. Grateful? The weight of these two words. I got too much help, but I can do too little because of my physical inconvenience.
One winter vacation, I went back to high school to exchange learning experiences with my brothers and sisters. At that time, a senior three student took a piece of paper and asked me to sign it for him. I didn't think I was a great man, so I refused. Then my junior drew a line on the paper and said that he would continue to work hard next semester. If he can get into Tsinghua, I hope I can sign him in Tsinghua. I didn't care much at that time, but half a year later, I met him in Tsinghua campus, and he was admitted to department of engineering physics, Tsinghua.
At that moment, I suddenly understood that one person's efforts can also be the driving force for others to move forward. I think I can shine in my own small area and use this light to thank others; Tell everyone with this heat? Fate can be changed by our own efforts.
So I went to participate in social practice. In 20 13, I set up an investigation team of Chinese Expeditionary Force, and served as the team leader to go to Tengchong, Yunnan Province to excavate the battle site of Chinese Expeditionary Force. It takes six days in Yunnan, driving 1500 kilometers, from the Anti-Japanese War Museum in a remote town to the Songshan battlefield on the Nujiang River. My mother helped me move over the gravel road that the wheelchair could not walk; When climbing Songshan, there was only a rugged wooden plank road, so my teammates and local farmers carried me back to Songshan by relay. From outreach in preparation, to interviews in practice, to report writing and video production, as a team leader, I have completed every step carefully.
So I worked as a screenwriter and director of the class stage play, and prepared the class program of the Computer Department Student Festival in 20 13. Four plays, five reviews, and weekly rehearsals with the actors. Contact logistics, make props, and often need to modify the script until late at night. But when the program was successfully performed and everyone praised our program on everyone's wall, my heart was full of warmth.
So I went to debate. I participated in the computer department debate team and the school debate team, representing the department and the school respectively. In the Ming-feng debate, the study pressure is great, and I squeeze out more than ten hours a week to prepare for the game and discuss it with my teammates until late at night. For me, the Tsinghua campus at three o'clock in the morning is a familiar sight. So I sat in a wheelchair and debated with debaters from different departments on the field. To participate in off-campus competitions, because of mobility difficulties, I will take the subway to leave early; Go to Tianjin and Nanjing to participate in the competition, usually on Friday, and go back to school on Monday after the competition. Although the road to debate is full of hardships, I have persisted to this day. Because I can't run on the court, I can't throw basketball hard, but I can gallop on the battlefield of my own language and thinking, winning glory for my department and school.
In a trance, I have lived in Tsinghua campus for nearly three years. From the initial difficulties to the present efforts, it depends on the concern of everyone who appears in life. ? Tsinghua? The word "two" is an opportunity for me; The help of my seniors is a kind of luck to me. I am lucky, because I can still read and write program codes with both hands. In this world, there are many people who are more inconvenient than me. Learning has more obstacles for them. I hope I can continue my research in the computer field in the future and create tools that can make them more convenient to use in the fields of speech recognition, character recognition and input method. This is a little dream of mine.
I think every student here today has his own difficulties and hardships, and has gone through a bumpy life path. Perhaps our world was once full of darkness, but care and help are a torch. We took it from our seniors and lit up our little world. Then, no matter how difficult it is, we are willing to continue to burn this torch and pass it on. One day, a small flame will disperse the darkness.
I have gained so much along the way. I want to take this opportunity to thank my father, who single-handedly supported this family in his distant hometown. I want to thank my mother, who is sitting under the stage now. She almost sacrificed her life and made mine.
