The primary school he attended for less than a year. This year, at the age of 14, he participated in the college entrance examination. He did not set goals, was not asked about his scores, did not hire tutors, did not attend cram schools, and did not buy books or reference materials. His working parents were adrift. This newspaper reporter Wang Junsheng and correspondent Lou Yi from the southern slope wrote this article because his family was poor; during primary school, he studied for less than a year; he did not hire tutors, did not attend cram schools, and after school, he had not bought a single book or seen any reference materials. However, this 14-year-old child from Yexian County scored 603 points on this year's college entrance exam, surpassing the science score line of 552 by 51 points. Without setting goals, without asking for achievements, everything was allowed to take its natural course, and the child was fully prepared. Yesterday afternoon, when the child was interviewed, he was still very excited but worried: Can I take care of myself at university at such a young age? After checking his college entrance exam results, he cried upon seeing his class rank as fourth place, saying to his mother, "You don't..." At the age of 11, when his son returned, he became dejected and despondent. Yesterday afternoon, Xu Yanping from a village in Yexian County, Pingdingshan City, mentioned what happened a few days ago and couldn't help laughing when she asked him why. He always lowered his head to answer, never telling her: "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't..."
Xu Yanping's son is named Guo Penghui, born on July 23, 1995. Although he is less than 15 years old, he is already a senior student. On the day the college entrance exam scores were announced, Guo Penghui went to school early in the morning to check his score, with various branch results written in a small notebook in his hand. Seeing his face, Xu Yanping first sensed: it's over; my son failed, and so did I. Many years of free-range education for my son failed. Then she smiled and took her son's notebook, looking at the scores we have: 603. Xu Yanping said that after seeing the scores, her doubts disappeared, and she stared at her son, thinking, this score is good; the little guy isn't bad. Suddenly, her son cried, crying very sadly. He said, "I thought I would at least get 630 points, but it's so much, I only ranked fourth in the class." Mom, you don't... Here, Xu Yanping's eyes also moistened, and she said to her son, "You're good, I'm proud of you."
At the age of nine, Hong Kong's son was in junior high school and even wet the bed at midnight. When he was six and a half years old, Xu Yanping took her son back to her home in Yexian County, wanting to send him to school for formal education. Thinking about the past few years outside, she believed her son had mastered the basic knowledge and did not need to start from the first grade, so she let him go straight to the second grade. In the next semester of the second grade, seeing her son could completely follow the rhythm, Xu Yanping made a bold decision: acceleration, directly reading the third grade. However, after only half a year in the third grade, due to lacking a few yuan for tuition, the younger brother went out to work with his parents again.
During the working period, without money for study rather than delaying her son, Xu Yanping once again served as a teacher, allowing her son to finish the primary school curriculum. While working in the field and drifting, Xu Yanping often sent her children to local bookstores — there, the younger brother could read as long as he wanted and for free. These books broadened his horizons. In September 2004, her 9-year-old son returned home to Yexian County and participated in the minor litre original examination, achieving some previous accomplishments at school. Xu Yanping smiled and said that in junior high school, her son was one of the smallest and youngest ones, and even wet the bed at midnight.
Without setting goals, her son grew up very freely, but the son disagreed with her, saying that it was the embodiment of childlike innocence. Many parents, like Mr. and Mrs. Xu Yanping, did not set goals for their son from the beginning to the end, nor excessively evaluate his achievement quality. In their opinion, on the one hand, such a small child has enough learning pressure, no need to deliberately make the little guy nervous; on the other hand, they also did not want to decide how their child should be in the future, believing that as long as he properly learns and grows, how it turns out will be up to himself, and the parents worry too much unnecessarily.
In this environment, the younger brother grew up more easily. In his words, from middle school to high school in recent years, besides textbooks, listening to the teacher explain, he never attended a cram school, never hired a tutor, never bought extracurricular books or reference materials, because he felt that the textbook knowledge, as long as thoroughly learned, was enough. While studying, he played, but many students did not, because they were too small.
Among the students, due to age, size, and other factors, he was estranged, making the younger brother very depressed. He also had his own fun: watching TV, watching cartoons. During the interview, when Xu Yanping mentioned her son watching these secrets, Guo Penghui unhappily turned his eyes away in protest. I asked him, aren't these making yourself look childish? You are a senior high school student. But the son disagreed with me, saying that it was the embodiment of childlike innocence, and they could learn a lot from those cute characters. Xu Yanping laughed and said, no way, only by his son, and his peers in many villages, now mostly on the first or second day, still play light-heartedly when the son plays, who has already entered high school. It lets the children lose much of their freedom and pleasure, so in love, we must respect him.
What the school newspaper most fears is whether the child can take good care of themselves after university. Without targets, without interference preferences, without artificially added pressure, in this fully stocked type of educational environment, the younger brother's mind easily entered the examination room, and gave a near-perfect transcript: 603 points.
This is not my normal level. During the interview, the little guy while playfully poking around the bench, said sternly on the side, according to my normal level, absolutely should not be less than 630. Some difficult problems are well, but some simple questions wrong, very sorry mom and dad. The results came out, tomorrow will be volunteer, we to what the school newspaper a little idea no, let him decide for themselves. Here, Xu Yanping laughed, now my greatest concern, is the child after the university can take good care of yourself.
A clever little adult I wasn't eating snacks while testing 603 points Guo Penghui, who had served as a high school teacher, Fan Teacher commented: this little is a clever little adult, study consciousness, savvy. The college entrance examination scores for him, should be lower than the normal level.
Fan Teacher told reporters, Guo Penghui is the youngest student in the science class, initially he was also worried about his achievement keeping up, several diagnostic tests plus usual observation, I found the students to be cultivated. Most other children are five or six years older than him, learning will be a lot of family, social factors, but Guo Penghui will not. For him, his mission is only three: learning, eat and sleep, play, but everything can become top. Other children, family education, training, review data, everything complete, he just books, lectures, or even top.
Not only that, this child is very sensible. Fan Teacher said, as Guo Penghui's family situation is not good, in high school three school years in free tuition fee basis, Feather Flags, will give him a monthly allowance. But the money, the little guy never waste too, the high school for three years, I wasn't eating snacks.
Hong Kong students everyone loves him if I let the cat out of the bag, he will play with me. Little test 603 points? Normal! This little guy with good results! I asked him if there are any tricks in learning, he answered: read a book, listen, play. In the interview, Guo Penghui's deskmate kids laugh, feel is too small, he doesn't like to play with us, but we really loved him. He studied very hard, very hard, the teacher often makes us learn about him.
Interview, little friends told reporters, Guo Penghui most likes watching animated cartoons, but only a little detected nature of the animated cartoon, but he would not let me say, afraid of his classmates joke. He warned me, if I let the cat out of the bag, he will play with me.
Hardships growth coal office teaching children to learn pinyin Although only 14 years old, Guo Penghui's growth environment is complex, more than anyone thought possible.
Xu Yanping told reporters, when her son was born, she and her husband did coal business in Zhengzhou, living conditions were good. But later, due to a series of accidents, the coal processing plant moved again and again, shuffling, and all the savings they managed to save were used up, leaving them heavily in debt.
In desperation, the couple had to take their babbling son wandering around, almost covering all the big and small cities in Henan province, doing odd jobs to earn a living. During the wandering period, watching their son grow up every day, after graduating from high school, before marriage, she briefly worked as a substitute teacher in the village. Xu Yanping decided to give guidance to the child.
Someone gave away books, I am back; some are parents with children, sometimes the children without books, storybooks for me. I a little reading for the boy. The small guy is interested, have a kind of to learn. Xu Yanping saw her son to accept, while earning a living, began on his son's education - with the coal on the ground to write phonetic alphabets, with broken branches column equation, from a book or a broken piece of paper to tell children stories.
