Changchun, Beijing, Hangzhou, four years, seven moves, three cities ... In order to give her children a good learning environment, a mother in Jilin played a story of "Modern Meng Mu" in a few years' schedule. Now, her daughter finally got her wish and entered the ideal school, but she desperately tried to imitate Meng Mu's three tricks, which caused some controversy.
■ Study for women and move to other places.
Wang Yuhui's family of three once lived a quiet life in Changchun, Jilin: they went to work on time every day and had a family reunion dinner at night. However, all this changed because of the promise made by Wang Yuhui when his daughter Wang Qian was 5 years old. That year, Wang Yuhui and her husband took their daughter to Beijing to play. At the gate of Tsinghua University, Wang Yuhui pointed to the school card and said to the child, "You must come here in the future, no matter how far it is, I will accompany you."
As Wang Qian grows up day by day, her talent in fine arts is increasingly revealed. In 2003, Wang Qian graduated from junior high school and entered the middle school attached to the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing and China Academy of Art in Hangzhou. In order to prepare for the exam, Wang Yuhui decided to take her children to Beijing to review.
When I first arrived in Beijing, my mother and daughter rented a house for 800 yuan for a month, but it was far from the review site. Two months later, Wang Yuhui heard that there was another house for rent near the review site, but the monthly rent was higher than the original one by 600 yuan, so he did not hesitate to rent it. However, due to the outbreak of SARS at that time, the exam was postponed, and Wang Yuhui and her daughter returned to Changchun. When they returned to Beijing in July, it was difficult to rent a house. They finally rented a house in Tongzhou District, a suburb. Because it's far away, Wang Yuhui gets up at dawn to make breakfast every day. After breakfast, she took her daughter and set off by bus, light rail and subway. One way for three hours every day, and then take the last bus home at 2 1 in the evening. During the preparation period in Beijing, Wang Yuhui moved three times, including two times in Beijing in the first three months.
■ Studying for women and resigning to accompany them.
In 2003, Wang Qian was admitted to China Academy of Art High School in Hangzhou. The climate in Hangzhou is very different from that in the north. The temperature is close to 40 degrees Celsius in summer, and it is cold and humid in winter, with no heating. In order for her daughter to learn high school courses well and be admitted to Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts in the future, Wang Yuhui made another important decision: to resign and take care of her daughter's life in Hangzhou.
Wang Yuhui gets up early every day to make breakfast, send her daughter to school, prepare school lunch at noon, sharpen pencils, adjust pigments and prepare painting tools in the afternoon, which takes three hours in total. 17 delivers dinner, and 2 1 picks up her daughter for self-study. Besides, one of the most important jobs every day is to be a model. "I am most afraid of being a model. Sometimes my daughter doesn't move when I'm working. Sometimes the teacher will let me practice the sketch modeling of winter clothes. Even in summer, I have to put on a down jacket and sit there in the high temperature of more than 30 degrees Celsius. One posture is 20 minutes. " Wang Yuhui said.
At the beginning of 2006, Wang Qian was admitted to Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts, so the whole family went back to Beijing to prepare for the college entrance examination. In July of that year, 19-year-old Wang Qian was admitted to the Art and Design Department of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts with a score of 572.5 in professional courses and 470 in cultural courses. Today, Wang Qian, who is studying in Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, has done very well in all aspects. She ranked eighth in this year's comprehensive examination.

■ Expert opinion: Should "modern Meng Mu" be advocated?
Some education experts pointed out that in order to educate children to become talents, there was a story of Meng Mu's three moves in ancient times, and Wang Yuhui left his hometown to cultivate his daughter's artistic expertise. In fact, this kind of desperate training method is to cultivate skilled elite talents on the basis of respecting children's personal hobbies. Compared with the traditional way of reading and educating people, this model is extremely challenging.
At the same time, they also pointed out that the weakness and helplessness of the current quality education system are also exposed to a great extent behind parents' accompanying reading, reflecting that exam-oriented education still exists in many people's hearts. The core of quality education is to put people first and improve people's comprehensive quality, among which the first thing is that students have a sound personality, so that the educated can develop in spirit, psychology and skills.
