I vaguely remember that year, in the hot summer, I sat in the examination room of the college entrance examination and carefully examined the papers I had just finished answering.

The invigilator said a very sincere sentence: I have been studying hard for decades at the cold window, just to transfer to Kun now. Indeed, every student has been studying hard in the cold window for 12 years, just for that moment to win the list champion and leap into the dragon gate.

Especially for the 1977 college entrance examination, the students waited for eleven years, which is of great significance to them. Different from today's college entrance examination, the examination time is not in hot summer, but in cold winter.

At that meeting, more than 5.7 million young intellectuals signed up for the exam. According to the school conditions at that time, only 300,000 students could be admitted. Look at today, it's hard to get into college.

In order to meet the long-awaited college entrance examination, tens of millions of students picked up their books again and studied hard day and night in the countryside.

Finally, among the 5.7 million candidates, two champions were born. The science champion is a young man named Liu, and the liberal arts champion is a girl named Liu.

At that time, Liu Yuwen, the top liberal arts scholar, scored 99 points, and her composition "I Struggled Here for a Year" was published in the newspaper, which was a sensation.

0 1 Go to the countryside to jump the queue

1976, Liu, who graduated from junior high school, was arranged to jump the queue in the countryside like many intellectuals. She was assigned to the Fourth Brigade of Gaoling Township, Miyun County, Beijing.

During those days in the country, Liu was very busy at work every day, so he had little time to study, and everyone wouldn't care about your academic performance. There is only one hard index, and labor is the primary productive force. People with more energy and more work will be praised and praised by everyone.

As a girl, Liu naturally doesn't have much energy, so during her stay in the countryside, although she was very busy, her labor results were mediocre.

During this period, in order to make life less monotonous, she also joined the literary team and always performed with the village literary team when she was free. Of course, there is no distinction between participating in cultural performances.

At one time, she was very confused, because she couldn't find her own value, and she was busy in the team every day, without any honor, and her life became dull.

02 turning point of fate

Liu thought she could only stay in the country all her life, but her life soon came to light. 197710 June 2 1 day, working in the field, she suddenly heard the news of resuming the college entrance examination on the radio. The news made her feel like a lifetime ago and made her see hope again. She happily paid the examination fee of 50 cents, and she always believed that the college entrance examination could change her fate.

Because she hasn't studied for a long time, she should seize the time to learn from scratch after work. When she was in junior high school, her grades were excellent, so she mastered the basic knowledge very solidly and made faster progress than other educated young people.

During this time, she worked harder than ordinary people, because she knew that only by passing the college entrance examination could she cross the Longmen again.

Fifteen days before the college entrance examination, Liu asked the brigade for leave to prepare for the college entrance examination. It can be said that her real review time is only 15 days. In this 15 day, because she didn't review the materials and didn't copy them at that time, the time was tight, so she had to watch and review with other candidates, and the hardships of learning conditions could be imagined.

Top student in senior high school in 2003

In liberal arts exams, Chinese scores are very important. At that time, the full score of Chinese test paper was 100, and the highest score of test paper was composition. The title of Liu's composition is "I fought here for a year". She wrote more than 2000 words freely, mainly recording the story of her time in the countryside. The content is very real and touching.

After the exam, Liu returned to the countryside, and her life was the same as before, but this time she had a dream in her heart and hope in her life.

Once at home, my father read an article in the newspaper. Liu glanced out of the corner of his eye and was suddenly surprised. The composition in this newspaper was written by her on the college entrance examination paper. After this incident, Liu had confidence in his achievements, and the tears that had been suppressed for many years finally flowed down at this moment.

Hard work pays off. A month later, Liu received the admission notice from the university. The results of the college entrance examination in those years were not announced, so she didn't know how many points she scored, only that she was admitted to the journalism major of Peking University.

Many years later, people found out that her Chinese score in the college entrance examination was 99 points, only 1 point. And in the total score of Beijing candidates, she ranks first, and she is a veritable champion of Beijing liberal arts.

Thanks for the college entrance examination.

In the study and life of Peking University, Liu did not give up his thirst for knowledge. She knows that her hard-won learning environment was earned by studying hard day and night.

After graduation, Liu was assigned to be an editor of China Youth Daily. Through her own efforts, she was promoted to the editor-in-chief of Education Herald. In May 2000, he became the general manager of the company, and now he has retired honorably.

In the interview, the reporter asked: How do you evaluate this extraordinary life?

She only said four words: thank you for the college entrance examination.

Later, she admitted that if there was no college entrance examination, she might become a salesman like many people, and it was the college entrance examination that gave her a different life.

In 2007, Liu donated Jane's long-hidden tickets to the museum that witnessed that glorious history.

Liu is undoubtedly the "lucky dog" of that era. In her, she fully verified that "knowledge can change fate".

Reading is the best shortcut to success.

In the folk, there is a saying: 360 lines, each line will be the champion.

Reading is not necessarily the only way to success, but reading must be the best shortcut to success. No matter what industry you are in, the sweat you pay is always in direct proportion to the reward you get.

Some people say that now that online celebrities have made money, everyone is vying to be online celebrities. Have you ever thought about how many people can become an online celebrity, and the probability of becoming an online celebrity may be one in ten million.

Degang Guo once said: I don't want Guo Qilin to talk about cross talk, because the cross talk industry is too bitter. One minute before the stage, ten years after the stage. Reciting a recipe in one minute may take tens of thousands of boring exercises to shine on the stage.

Many teenagers have an e-sports dream, and they can make money while playing games. It's killing two birds with one stone. I don't know that this industry needs talents, and high-intensity training is just a routine. At that time, you will feel that playing games is not entertainment, but hard training every day.

In addition, the elimination rate of the e-sports industry is as high as 99%. Many people only take a salary of 3000 yuan to participate in the cruel competition in the game industry. Often only a small number of people at the top of the pyramid.

Therefore, reading is the choice of most people, because reading can make you have diversified development in the future. Now that we have such a good learning environment, we should redouble our efforts to grasp our own life.

There are two prerequisites for a person's success, one is to have basic qualities, and the other is to seize external opportunities. Basic qualities can only be acquired through continuous learning. It is said that learning is very important.

People with knowledge and learning are powerful.
