I want to say that all this is inseparable from the hard work of all the authors, my colleagues and comrades-in-arms: Dr. Li Weiming, Dr. Zhong Jun, Dr. Wu Jingyu and Professor Fu Liankui, and their dedication to constantly challenging the peak of the discipline. Only in this way can the whole module collection series of teaching materials serve the candidates for a long time and have tenacious vitality and reading value.
This year's revision has experienced the time difference in several countries and was completed in a very busy and special environment. I want to share my experience with all the candidates who read the classics, which is also an encouragement to the children!
I come from Shenyang, a heavy industrial city in Northeast China, and grew up in a very ordinary or even poor family. My family didn't give me a rich life, but my parents attached great importance to my education since childhood. They are honest, optimistic and caring people, so they gave me sound values and outlook on life.
My father went through the Cultural Revolution that year. It's a pity that he didn't get a good education, but he has always been a hard worker. In his later work, he changed from an ordinary electrician in a factory to an experienced electrical engineer. I remember when I was a child, all kinds of precise circuit diagrams drawn with pencils, compasses and rulers appeared most frequently at home. In my young mind, those smooth and neat pencil lines are comparable to works of art, and my father has always been my role model. Later, with the advent of the computer age, he began to study how to operate drawing with computers, teach himself CAD and other drawing software, and constantly update his knowledge structure. You know, at that time, he was in his fifties, and many of his peers had already started wandering around the wine table and mahjong table, while he kept trying to change in front of the computer, trying to keep up with the whole era. Now, my father has retired. Before he retired, he decided to learn to drive! Mother was originally opposed and worried about his safety. However, I know my father in my heart and know that learning to drive is good for him and can delay his aging. I have been to many developed countries and regions, such as Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China. Old people still drive and are full of energy. Therefore, I support my father's decision to get a driver's license and buy him a good car. Facts have proved that my father's decision is correct and he is fully qualified! Even in America, where the driving speed is super fast, my father can still drive freely and take us where we want to go. Looking at him sitting in the yard with white hair and studying American traffic laws seriously, I remembered the young man who was drawing at his desk and the middle-aged man who was sitting in front of the computer and thinking hard, and my heart was filled with emotion. I thank my father, who is my role model and my hero.
My mother is a kind woman. She gave everything for her family and didn't care at all. Perhaps because she experienced the turbulent catastrophe and didn't have the opportunity to study, she gave me all her time and energy to accompany me to grow up every day. She stayed up late with me every morning. Every cold morning, she gently woke me up and prepared a big breakfast for me. My mother seldom compares me with other children. In her eyes, her daughter is always the best. She always encourages me, gives me confidence and makes me believe in myself. However, in terms of study, she never lowered her requirements for me. She always said: You don't have any backer, you can only rely on yourself. If you don't study hard, no one will want you in the future! ? It is this very simple way of education that has made me indomitable since I was a child, with strong self-esteem and enterprising spirit. Think about it, many years later, my achievements and life are all due to my perseverance and self-discipline when I was young.
I went through a lot of hardships when I was young. Because of my excellent grades, I was sent to Beijing to continue my postgraduate study. At that time, I was hard and stretched. Standing on a strange overpass in Beijing and watching the flashing traffic, my only thought is to survive in this city! I live in the basement, and I can only put down a single bed when I open the door. Wash with migrant workers every day, and the phone has no signal. Even in the shower, I always pay attention to whether the door is locked with a flashlight. In order to earn some living expenses, I have to get up before five o'clock every morning, take the earliest bus, then transfer to two subway lines, and show up at the international students' office at seven o'clock in the morning to tutor Chinese for an hour. At eight o'clock, I rushed back to school to attend the tutor's professional class.
At that time, I had no complaints and my life was full of hope. Because, I know I am responsible for my future, and I know what kind of life I want. Writing here, I suddenly remembered many students' messages on WeChat, expressing their fears and worries about the future. I'm worried that preparing for the exam will waste time, I can't find a job, and I can't get into the ideal position. All kinds of applications, preparing for exams, negative emotions, and unreasonable comparisons make me unable to extricate myself. Whenever I see such a message, I always want to say to these children: there is no one else in that black hole, only yourself! There is no right or wrong choice, only fast and slow! When you really dare to face yourself, you will really get out of the black hole of life!
My motto is: Nothing in this world can't be lost, except inner courage and freedom. Yes, inner courage and freedom.
When you dare to be responsible for yourself, you will not choose to complain or emphasize all external disappointments. When you dare to meet the challenge, even failure is only an experience of life, let alone a small exam. Dear, the road ahead is really long, and there are many surprises waiting for you. Everything contains joy and happiness, as well as helplessness and pain. Life is like this, the key is that we feel the true heart of life.
Students often ask me, is it useful to apply for remedial classes for exams? I want to say: you can never wake a person who pretends to sleep. If you don't want to change, improve and learn from your heart, no matter how good the teacher and textbook are, there is nothing you can do. Only when your motivation for learning is very clear, can you overcome difficulties and inner fears in countless nights and stride forward? Public? .
Baby, it's not easy to take the public exam, and it's even harder to live. Don't forget your active attitude, so as to achieve your ultimate goal.
Draw a blueprint for your dreams, imagine the beauty you already have before going to bed every day, and constantly give yourself strength in this positive, positive and sunny way. There is no one else in your garden except yourself. I wish you a brave and optimistic life every day.
