Once reported, we all sincerely admire this strong man in life. We can all imagine that he gets up early in the morning to study, keeps his hands on books during work, and even goes to judicial examination tutoring classes when his parents are old. Overall, we admire his perseverance.
If Zhao Chuanzhu was only tested on perseverance, I am afraid he would not be able to pass the exam with a passing rate of less than 10%. If we only read about persistence from Zhao Chuanzhu’s story, I’m afraid it won’t change our own lives.
When we learned more about Zhao Chuanzhu’s experience, we found that there are two other points that are very important for his counterattack, and these two points can also be learned from.
First, Zhao Chuanzhu works as a security guard in a court in Suzhou. Due to long-term contact, she has a deep understanding of the lawyer profession. He must have the opportunity to listen to lawyers' arguments in court and follow the diagrams to feel the value of lawyers pursuing justice and returning to the truth, so as to establish his belief in becoming a lawyer.
We also believe that there must be several lawyers who are familiar with Zhao Chuanzhu. They can chat easily after work, and even provide encouragement and help when they know that Zhao Chuanzhu is going to take the judicial examination.
We also want to believe that one of these lawyers will be a role model for Zhao Chuanzhu. Zhao Chuanzhu can see his grading, conversations with clients, on-site investigation and evidence collection, court debates, attendance at forums in the lawyer field, and even his travels with his family. In short, this lawyer is concrete, real, and alive. Zhao Chuanzhu may only set this example in his heart, or he may directly tell the lawyer: I, Lao Zhao, also want to be a lawyer like you.
Second, Zhao Chuanzhu had passed the self-study undergraduate course at Nanjing University before taking the judicial examination. In other words, no matter what his background is, Zhao Chuanzhu has integrated into a group of law students and he is not alone.
The age, occupation, and experience span of adult self-study students are very wide. A 50-year-old security guard is not particularly unusual among this group. Just like the "Peking University Security Postgraduate Entrance Examination" team, everyone has similar experiences to each other. You can do it, I can do it too. The successful experiences of people with similar backgrounds can easily become role models for those who follow.
We are also willing to believe that Zhao Chuanzhu will have several classmates who have similar experiences in his self-taught undergraduate studies at Nanjing University. It might be a courier guy who travels through the city every day, or it might be a cleaning lady who works three jobs a day. One or several of them have also become Zhao Chuanzhu's role models in preparing for the judicial examination.
For a 50-year-old security guard, objectively speaking, there are not many opportunities left for him to choose. At this time, there is no time for trial and error. The best counterattack is to find a role model around you, then stare at him, learn from him, study him, find the most critical factors to become him, and then devote yourself to it. This may be the biggest revelation of the 50-year-old security guard turned lawyer.
Of course, if you continue to pay attention to Zhao Chuanzhu, it will be another exciting topic to see whether he will follow the traditional path of a lawyer in his future life.
