1977 is a year full of hope and cruel competition. China's college entrance examination, which has been stagnant for ten years, was announced to resume this year. There are more than 5 million students taking the college entrance examination, but the final admission result is only 300,000. In this case, Liu, who can win the first prize, cannot be underestimated.
Life-changing exam
Personal destiny is always linked with the destiny of the country, which is a common saying of young people in the sixties and seventies.
Liu is the first female liberal arts champion in Beijing after the resumption of the college entrance examination. In that special era, Liu had stayed in the countryside for two years, and she thought that the best outcome of her future was to be a salesman. She never thought that she could have a college dream.
Liu clearly remembers that on an ordinary day, 1977, 10, 2 1, the news of resuming the college entrance examination suddenly came out on the radio. At this time, the educated youth who worked hard in the rural fields only felt as if they were separated from each other.
The college entrance examination is a relatively fair life-changing exam for them. Liu was interviewed afterwards and admitted the ups and downs of his life. She bluntly said, "Thank you for the college entrance examination!"
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Goethe said: "People who are good at seizing opportunities are heroes."
After Liu signed up for the college entrance examination, she worked as usual during the day. When she has time to rest, she takes out old middle school textbooks to review. It was not until half a month before the college entrance examination began that the educated youth who went to the countryside collectively took time off to go home and prepare for the college entrance examination. Liu's parents found the college entrance examination history paper for her before the Cultural Revolution, hoping to help her.
1977 college entrance examination is a very special year. The country needs talents and talents need opportunities. The college entrance examination is held in winter. At the same time, because of the uneven quality of personnel, most of the questions are based on basic common sense questions, and the composition of the Chinese college entrance examination questions in that year was the most important, accounting for a high score, with a total score of 70 points (100).
The title of the composition is "I struggled in this year". Liu yangyang wrote 2000 words, separating the career of educated youth from the four seasons. These words are all Liu's true feelings, so she wrote them in one go.
Hand in the test paper, and the rest will start to get back on track. Liu continues to plant trees in the countryside only once a week. When she got home, her father read her an article published in People's Daily. Liu was surprised. It was her composition! It turned out that the People's Daily screened out three excellent college entrance examination compositions nationwide and published them in newspapers.
Many things happen. After that, Liu successfully entered the journalism department of Peking University. Because the results of that year were not made public, people learned after consulting the archives that Liu's Chinese scores were only one step away from full marks, with a difference of 1 to 100, and he was a veritable liberal arts champion.
A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and waits for the opportunity to act. Liu seized this opportunity and caused a great sensation in the society.
Where is the number one scholar after 43 years?
Today, Liu has reached retirement age and enjoys his old age at home. In 2007, she handed her yellowed and expired college entrance examination admission ticket to the National Museum for collection, and started that dusty time again. This little piece of paper records Liu's most glorious years and the development of the times.
She recalled the ups and downs of her life and her eyes were full of gratitude. Speaking of 1977, her voice is still trembling. Liu told me that she was undoubtedly a "lucky dog".
Fortunately, I ushered in the resumption of the college entrance examination. Thanks to the policy, she regained her dream and was admitted to Peking University, the highest institution in China. Fortunately, she successfully applied for her favorite journalism major, thanking her for being able to pursue her passionate direction and live up to her youth; Fortunately, I caught up with the era of distribution work, and thanked the times for letting her engage in her favorite work and work in China Youth Daily.
1982, after she graduated from the journalism major of Chinese Department of Peking University, her first choice was assigned to China Youth Daily, and she took root here. At first, Liu mainly engaged in news reporting in education and other aspects, and later went from a reporter to the management of the newspaper industry.
During her work in China Youth Daily, Liu has always been her favorite. She graduated from Peking University and was the first liberal arts champion after the resumption of the college entrance examination. She spared no effort to give full play to her work ability, and successively founded weekly magazines such as Education Herald, Computer Big Screen and Computer Network Market.
To meet the needs of the times and seize the wings of the Internet, in 2000, he co-founded the website of China Youth Daily-Zhongqing Online, and served as the general manager. It can be said that Liu's vision has always been long-term, and the future will always belong to young people. Online media will suddenly emerge, and Zhongqing Online is also the largest and most authoritative comprehensive youth website integrating news release and youth service in China.
Liu Neng's achievements today are not only her personal efforts, but also the college entrance examination that changed her fate.
Today, the college entrance examination system has both good and bad aspects. For example, it makes education lose its richness, and education is to score grades, but one thing most people agree is that the college entrance examination reflects the educational fairness for all young people in society.
Everyone is equal before the score. No matter where you are and what your background is, as long as you have knowledge and talent, you can realize your personal dreams and change your life path through the college entrance examination.
Of course, when it comes to the college entrance examination, people's evaluation of it is seriously polarized. Some people still regard it as a sacred temple, while others think that times have changed and heroes cannot be judged only by their achievements. In this new society, talents do not necessarily need the college entrance examination to prove.
However, we still have to admit that knowledge can really change fate. The college entrance examination is still the fairest way of competition at present, and it is also the broadest stage to realize our dreams. This has not changed for many years. Liu's story tells us that it is very important to seize the opportunity. Don't run away from difficulties. Only by working hard can we write a good answer to life.
