Although the college entrance examination is not the only chance to determine the success or failure of life, it is precisely because of the college entrance examination that more people have the possibility to change their destiny. Although we love and hate the college entrance examination, it is the most important stage in life. The famous writer Mo Yan once said, "The college entrance examination is not good, and it is even worse without it." This is indeed the case.
In 2006, a candidate wrote more than 8,000 words criticizing the college entrance examination paper. I deliberately violated the rules and got zero. Why did the candidate do this? What's her usual life like after getting a zero? Olivia, the candidate, appeared on the news hot search many times in 2006 and became a popular figure in China.
However, she became news not because she got high marks, but because Olivia openly challenged the college entrance examination system. Write an article criticizing the college entrance examination and the education system on the test paper. Why did she ignore my way out? What is the reason? Olivia is a rural girl in Nanyang City, Henan Province. Her parents are farmers, and Olivia has an elder sister and a younger brother. Although the family is poor, parents still get up early and work hard to provide them with education. Olivia's eldest sister got her wish and was admitted to a key university, becoming the second college student in this village with a population of 150. Olivia's parents owe a lot of foreign debts for their children's education.
And her father, for the children's tuition, became an insurance buyer, leaving early and returning late, running for money. The only wish of parents is that all three children go to college, make progress in the future and go abroad. Don't be poor like yourself. Olivia has no hope of being alone with her parents. She continues to get excellent grades and is second to none in her class. Her family grew up with awards. Senior one and senior two are still inferior students in the class. If they follow her grades, they should have no problem getting into the university.
However, from the second half of senior two, Olivia, who is introverted, suddenly fell in love with writing novels. After her short story was published in a magazine, she strengthened her determination to write a novel. So in class and self-study, Olivia spent a lot of time on writing, and basically had no time to study, and her grades were also affected. Moreover, her writing style is very good, which has won the reputation of her classmates. But in the teacher's eyes, a student who is near the college entrance examination is almost idle when he writes novels every day. So the teachers repeatedly educated Olivia, but Olivia thought that the teachers were stopping her and didn't understand her.
From then on, Olivia was tired of her study and college entrance examination. And all this can't be confided, so she takes the college entrance examination paper as an outlet. According to my plan, Olivia brought a blue and black pen into the examination room to answer questions, which violated the college entrance examination rules. Olivia wrote more than 8000 words on the college entrance examination paper. Every sentence in the article is aimed at China's education system. Olivia wrote, "As long as the stars shine in the free sky, they will become cold meteorites when they reach the ground ... People have different talents, and teachers only need to discover students' interests and dig them out". Some views like this attack today's exam-oriented education.
Olivia also wrote her pen name on the test paper, and then left the examination room. Although Olivia's behavior is a little extreme, some educational problems she pointed out are not completely unreasonable. In fact, Olivia was afraid. She didn't dare to face her parents who worked so hard to pay for her education. On second thought, Olivia took her only savings in 200 yuan and took a bus to Zhengzhou to find her sister who was studying in college. When my sister learned of her behavior, she angrily called her childish and said that she was ruining her future. My sister didn't know me. Olivia left Zhengzhou with regret and was going to work in other places.
But because I was too young, no one wanted to use her, so Olivia went back to her sister's school and stayed in her dormitory for a few days. But in my sister's university, she doesn't like the environment here at all. She thinks college students are ideal, either looking at money or falling in love. The more she thinks she is right not to go to college. Olivia later returned to her hometown and hid in her uncle's house, afraid to go home. But paper can't wrap the fire. When the notice about Olivia's violation of the college entrance examination was sent to Olivia's home, hardworking parents knew all about it, and they could not understand their daughter's behavior. Olivia's criticism of the college entrance examination system at that time aroused widespread concern in the whole society. Because some of her arguments are not completely wrong, there are two views to comment on Olivia's practice.
Some people think that Olivia is a high school student's rebellious behavior, which hurts me and leaves my family alone. Others think that Olivia is a brave child who dares to speak and do. At that time, the famous writer Er Yuehe praised Olivia's behavior, rated Olivia as a "new youth, new ideas and new behaviors" and called for social attention. February River thinks that Olivia dares to be the first, and she is very courageous. Later, Olivia didn't go to college, let alone fulfill her dream of being a writer. Leave the countryside and go out to work. As long as you have a high school education, you can only farm at home. Usually I can only marry an ordinary peasant woman and continue to be a farmer facing the loess.
Besides, she used to study so well, and the ending was really embarrassing. If she had endured her ideals, studied hard and been admitted to the university, I'm afraid she would have become a writer after graduation. Man is the product of the environment, so he must adapt to the environment first, so as to survive, and then change the environment and complete his ideal of life. There is no doubt that Olivia made a mistake in ranking second in life, paying too much attention to the weight of fantasy in my mind, thus ignoring the process that a poor candidate must go through, that is, the college entrance examination. Exam-oriented education has its drawbacks, but without exam-oriented education, poor children will never be able to compete with the rich second generation. This was an opportunity for us ordinary people and Olivia, but she didn't seize it. I also hope that college entrance examination candidates will recognize their ideals and be admitted to their ideal universities.
