20 1 1 The results of the college entrance examination were announced, and the science college entrance examination in Henan Province failed in Gushi Tzu Chi High School, which caused a sensation in a small county. Who is Xie with a total score of 720? What rough road has he gone through? What kind of humanistic care did Gushi Tzu Chi High School give him? On the afternoon of June 25th, Xie, who is going to attend a summer camp in Tsinghua University, was invited to my office and accepted an exclusive interview with me happily. He looks a little shy with a simple and honest face, but when he opens his mouth, it's like water bursting its banks.
Xiaojun: Thank you, classmate. First of all, congratulations on your excellent results. This year's college entrance examination, your Chinese 123, Math 149, Foreign Language 138, Science and Engineering 290, 700 naked. Plus, you are a top student in the province, and you can enjoy the policy of adding 20 points to the college entrance examination. Are you surprised at this achievement? Do you think this is consistent with your usual grades or your extraordinary performance in the exam?
Sailing: Just so-so. I got a score of 6 14 from the senior high school entrance examination attached to Tzu Chi, ranking 30th in the county, and my score in the senior high school entrance examination was the worst. After entering Gaogu, I was in the top ten in every big exam, so I was not surprised at 720 points in the college entrance examination. Some people say that life is an excuse for losers, and luck is a modest word for winners. If I say this, it is actually against my will, because I have always been full of confidence, and I knew that I must be a good result before the college entrance examination.
Xiaojun: In real life, "voyage" is often described as a long journey and a wandering life after getting tired of a local environment. Of course, it also means that towards the distant is ambitious and ambitious. I wonder what your name means.
Sailing: I have a shore in my heart and am not afraid of sailing. Wang Guozhen said, I don't think about whether I can succeed. Since I have chosen a distant place, I only care about difficulties and hardships; I don't want to think about whether there will be cold wind and rain behind me. Since the goal is the horizon, what is left to the world is only the back. My family lives in the street of Huzu Town, Gushi. My mother is a primary school teacher and my father is a lawyer. My house is ok. My parents named me "voyage", of course, hoping that I would aim high and set sail. I like Li Bai's poems best. One day, I will sail straight and cross the deep sea. I always thought these two poems were written for me. After entering Gaogu, my parents bought a small house of 60 square meters on the sixth floor of Chongyuan Community next to the school. After the college entrance examination, the house was sold, which really smells like "three moves to Meng Mu"! My parents have paid a lot for my study. No matter how high I fly, I can't fly out of their eyes; No matter how far I go, I can't leave my parents' love and expectation for me. There is a poem "Sail with You", which contains such a poem: "I sail with you with my firmness; I accompany your blue dress with my thoughts. I will stand in front of you in the days when I have an iron anchor on my shoulder. That quiet harbor, together with you, guards every ray of warm sunshine in the journey. On the skirt pleats where the waves are dancing, I will accompany you to sail with the warmth of the sun. " I like such poems very much.
Xiaojun: The teacher said that you got good grades in science, but the liberal arts were not particularly outstanding. I didn't expect you to like literature. I looked it up and found that you published many articles in the school newspaper. Who influenced you?
Sail: Life is a flower, and Chinese is the root. Without roots, flowers will wither. But people often see gorgeous flowers, but they can't find a paintable root. My head teacher in junior high school is Mr. Xu Rugang. After entering high school, due to various reasons, the head teacher has changed three times, namely, Gao Yiyi, Gao Ergu and Gao Huiru. Have you noticed that all my class teachers are Chinese teachers? They not only gave me the dew of knowledge, but also injected a clear spring of humanity into my heart. There is a good saying, if you let others build ships, please don't give them materials in a hurry, but let them see the sea first and arouse their strong desire for the ocean. I remember one day in the first grade, in the class of Chinese teacher Xu Rugang, a glider suddenly hovered over the roof, making a lot of noise. This is just an advertisement for a businessman. At that time, many students looked out of the window, and there was some confusion in the class. Instead of yelling at everyone, xu teacher stopped lecturing, smiled and quoted Tagore's poems, and said to his classmates, "I flew through the air, and the air left traces of my flying." Xu teacher didn't say there was no trace of me in the sky, but I did fly. Although this is Tagore's original words, it is still somewhat pessimistic. He cleverly changed it, in fact, encouraging us to abandon the small ambitions of birds and appreciate the towering swans, and reminding us not to forget to be down-to-earth when looking up at the sky. The flying of "Big Bird" in the air not only affected me, but also developed a strong interest in science from then on.
Xiaojun: Teacher Guo, the head teacher, said that your thoughts are very simple and you like to watch Tom and Jerry's cartoon Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. But I heard from other teachers that you have read Hawking's A Brief History of Time several times. Do you think this is a contradiction?
Sail: I still remember what Wang Xixian, a freshman girl admitted to the Chinese University of Hong Kong from our school last year, said: "When a person realizes that diamonds are more valuable than glass balls, he has grown up sadly; When a person has always believed in the world in fairy tales, such a person will not grow old. " This is a kind of truth and beauty. A Brief History of Time is a classic book about cosmology written by stephen william hawking, a great British physicist and the founder of the black hole theory and the BIGBANG theory. It is a popular science model for popularizing advanced theoretical physics. In this book, he led me to roam in the strange field of outer space, and introduced distant galaxies, black holes, quarks, "tasty" particles and "spinning" particles, antimatter, "arrow of time" and so on in a simple way, and expounded what kind of time and space the universe is, relativity and other ancient problems, which gave me a preliminary understanding of the mysteries of cosmology such as special relativity and the origin of time and universe. This year's college entrance examination, my composition topic is "The Rise of China, Science and Technology First", which should be a good score. I think simplicity is a kind of accomplishment, and reading is a kind of happiness.
Xiaojun: Since you are going to the summer camp organized by Tsinghua, it means that your goal is Tsinghua. However, the day before yesterday, I saw an article entitled "No.1 in the 32-year college entrance examination failed to shock the Chinese people". The author Cai Yanhou is a professor at Central South University. As one of the most authoritative university evaluation and consulting experts in China, he led the research group to release the latest "Investigation Report on Top Candidates in China's College Entrance Examination" in 2009. This survey report poured cold water on the admirers of the top candidates in the college entrance examination-from 1977 to 2008, almost none of the top candidates in the college entrance examination became top talents in learning, business and politics, and their professional achievements were far below social expectations. What do you think of this? Do you feel that you are the product of exam-oriented education?
Sail: there are no top talents in the college entrance examination champion. The key point is that they lost themselves in the fanatical and excessive propaganda and flattery, unable to understand themselves, and entered a "quilt" channel designed for them by secular society. The so-called "number one scholar" hyped by others must first clearly know what the so-called "number one scholar" is. On the one hand, among the nearly 10 million candidates each year, among the hundreds of thousands of candidates in each province, there are many people with the same score, and it is quite accidental that one person has one or two points more; On the other hand, due to the great differences in the conditions of existing high schools, there are also great differences in the teaching staff. If this difference continues to accumulate from primary school to high school, it is enough to cause a gap of tens or even hundreds of points. In other words, people with the highest scores are often in high schools with better conditions, but they are not necessarily students with the strongest intelligence, autonomy and interest. Score can only be a manifestation of performance, and intelligence, autonomy and interest are the factors that continue to play a role in a person's life development. Therefore, all aspects should treat scores rationally, especially for students and parents, the most important thing is to really understand themselves and make clear their potential, ambition and development direction. I don't think I have read a dead book. For example, I never stay up late and often walk with my parents to enjoy my family. I like playing ball and learning erhu on weekends. I like watching Harry Potter, but only the English version. Interest is the best teacher, and all-round and healthy development is an important factor for success.
Xiaojun: High school life is over, and you will embark on a new journey. Do you have anything to say to your alma mater? What do you expect from your brother and sister?
Sail: Why do I often have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply. I always think that my alma mater is an unforgettable place for students, and my alma mater is an emotion that students can't give up for life; Class is the place where students live emotionally and the paradise where we grow up. No matter how long I leave school, no matter where I am, I will remember my alma mater and the 20 classes I fought side by side. Pei, vice president of our school, has this view: "We should honor our alma mater as we honor our parents." This is what I agree with. My brothers and sisters are still watching the sky. I want to say, how can we create the myth of heaven without the tempering of hell? College entrance examination, a war without smoke, we all try to arm ourselves from any harm. But after the college entrance examination, looking at those tearful eyes and listening to those smiling faces that sigh, I began to understand that the college entrance examination was fair and cruel. No one wants to leave a regretful figure on the curtain of memories, and no one wants to leave a mediocre footprint on the journey of life. College entrance examination is the best test of youth, which makes life soak in sadness and loneliness and gradually move towards maturity and prosperity. College entrance examination, let life experience a baptism, is our inner experience. The joys and sorrows of our growing up will be presented at this special ceremony. But whether it is success or failure, happiness or sadness, as long as we have sweat dancing and passion bathing every day, our life will not be flawed. Therefore, don't wait for the night to fall, the mountain torrents to recede, the snow to melt before saying love, the storm to stop before going out to sea, the full moon to miss, the ink to solidify before writing poetry, the gathering of friends to drink, the broken string to be sad, and the hair to turn white before being sad ... Life is like a voyage.
Xiaojun: Thank you for accepting my interview. I wish you a bright future.
Thank you for Gushi news report
A few days ago, the results of the 20 1 1 college entrance examination were announced. Xie, a fresh graduate of Tzu Chi High School in Gushi County, won the top prize in science in Henan Province with a total score of 720.
