After this year’s college entrance examination, a father’s late-night confession went viral

Dear child: Time has suddenly entered the most stressful midsummer. June brings not only the scorching sun, but also the most important battle in your life – the college entrance examination. For the past two days, your father has been with you and seen you nervous and anxious about the exam. I feel the same way you feel. When the last exam was over and he saw you walking out of the exam room with a smile, dad also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. I spent ten years studying hard in a cold window, just to make my dream come true now. However, you may not have thought that what I care about most at this time is not your grades. There are a few words that have always been buried in my father\’s heart, and I will tell them to you today. I used to think that people would be liberated after the college entrance examination, but later I realized that the meaning of liberation is: after the road paved by others has been walked, it is time to pave the way forward on your own. The college entrance examination is a dividing line in life. Before that, your life is a question that must be answered. You study hard every day just to cope with the exam at the age of 18. Along the way, you have been under the stars and the moon, done countless exercises, stayed up countless nights, and suffered countless blows. You often complained to us: \”Why is studying so hard and tiring?\” We heard it, and although we felt distressed, we still couldn\’t bear to tell you another truth: the college entrance examination is just a small test in life. There are countless difficulties waiting for you to overcome. Compared with the past, although studying was hard and tiring, I was guided and guided by my teachers and protected by my parents along the way. After passing the college entrance examination, your life is filled with countless multiple-choice questions. You have to choose what to study every day, you have to choose what to do every day, and you have to choose what your goals in life are. You will find that all this is not as simple as imagined. You will encounter countless difficult and confusing moments, such as struggling between postgraduate entrance examinations and work, and seeking a balance between family and career… You may be confused, you may be in panic all day long, and you may keep looking for it. Less than that balance point. At this time, you begin to miss those arranged courses, arranged homework, arranged goals, and arranged days. But, kid, this is life – in the exam of life, no one can guide you and explain the standard answers, no one can shelter you from the wind and rain and bear all the difficulties. You can only try bit by bit and explore step by step. The road to the future can only be taken slowly by yourself. Middle school uniforms are actually quite nice because you can\’t tell the difference between the rich and the poor when you wear them. When you were at school, you wore loose school uniforms and ate food from the cafeteria just like your classmates. Sometimes, you will complain together: the school uniforms are ugly and the food is unpalatable. After the college entrance examination, you all took off your school uniforms and put on your own clothes. At this time, you will find that some students are well-dressed and wear famous brands; some students are simply dressed, even a little shabby. This is reality, kid. A loose school uniform covers the wealth gap between you. This summer vacation, you will see in the circle of friends that some students travel all over the country with their parents, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the world; while some students need to wash dishes and serve dishes in a stuffy restaurant to earn money for themselves to go to school. Tuition fees… In this world, all roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome. The further you go, the more you will understand,The life you have earned with all your efforts may be just the starting point for others. But there is a saying that my father has always been particularly fond of: \”It is not noble to live better than others. True nobility is to be better than one\’s past self.\” The accumulation of wealth is a relay race between generations. Today you see that many of my classmates live a good life. In fact, it is the result of the hard work of generations. Just like before you were born, your father was just a poor boy from the countryside. In the year when I graduated from the college entrance examination, my classmates went to KFC to eat French fries, fried chicken and Coke. But my father was in his hometown, helping his grandfather plow the fields, pull weeds, and plant seedlings over and over again. When he was tired and hungry, he only had a steamed bun in his arms. But now, through his own efforts, my father has at least allowed the family to live a life without worries about food and clothing. We cannot choose our own origins, but we can use our own efforts to determine the starting point of the next generation. This is the meaning of each of us striving for life. It was only after taking the college entrance examination that I realized that all my hard work in school was just to give me more courage in my future life. What is the meaning of college entrance examination? Have you ever thought about it? Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the end of the college entrance examination means the end of all hardships, and life before June seems to have returned to zero overnight. But, kid, that\’s not the case. The real meaning of the college entrance examination does not lie in how many points you got, whether you failed or succeeded. The meaning of the college entrance examination lies in the effort, sweat and time you spend on it. How many silent nights have you endured sleepiness and burned the midnight oil to fight; how many mornings when the sky is dim, you have fought against fatigue and boredom and read over and over again. You have gone through hundreds of exams, large and small, and written thousands of test papers of all kinds; you have used dozens of thick notebooks, and written countless identical black ink pens… It is these hardships The time has forged your soul, tempered your spirit, and taught you the meaning of persistence. Just as Harvard scholar Zhan Qingyun said: \”What makes Tang Monk become Tang Monk is not the scriptures, but the way to learn the scriptures.\” What really changes destiny is the process of being learned and tempered. The books you have read will pave the way for you in the future; every bit of knowledge you have learned will come back to you in an unexpected way one day. Those day and night efforts and those sleepless struggles will eventually turn into blood and blend into your bone marrow, allowing you to develop the habit of continuous hard work and become your courage and strength to pursue the future. Later, there were more and more roads, but fewer and fewer people walked together. Before the college entrance examination, life was a one-way street, and almost everyone had to line up to cross such a road. After the college entrance examination, everyone who used to be in the same team embarked on different paths. There are more and more paths to choose from, but fewer and fewer people to accompany you. The girl with pigtails in the front row, you always liked to tease her, but now she is going to a completely different place; the brother sleeping in your lower bunk, you often chatted with him, and now he is about to go to another city. The last exam is over, and you have become what the teacher calls the \”students of the last class.\” I have walked the campus path countless times, but today I walked it once, one less time; I have seen it countless times through the window.The sunset just stayed in the last evening self-study class… The young writer Peng Pai said: We are in a hurry, but we can\’t escape loneliness and fatigue; we are full of pride, but we can\’t hide our bruises; we look back and miss our friends who have gone away. You think that the journey of youth leads to the same destination through different paths, but who knows that its name will be endless. Those days when I was always tired and wanted to escape have become the reluctance in my memory. Perhaps the last lesson that your senior year of high school will teach you is to accept separation. You have to understand that in the train of life, people come and go, and people come and go. On a certain stretch of the road, it is rare to leave each other with laughter. There is a road ahead that can only be walked alone. CCTV recommends over 500 high-scoring excellent documentaries. After watching this, children will experience self-discipline and addiction. Loneliness and loneliness are common. Although it is uncomfortable, it is also the only way in life. Only by learning to reconcile with loneliness and coexisting with loneliness can you walk with determination and calmness for the rest of your life. Before the college entrance examination, you are one of thousands of troops. After the college entrance examination, you have to live as a team and shoulder the expectations of the family alone. 18 years old, an exam, a summer, and a farewell. The admission notice will be a one-way ticket, carrying your growing life. Once upon a time, you were a piece of meat in my parents\’ hearts and a treasure in their palms. In the future, you will leave our arms, leave this land where you were born and raised, and fly high alone. The moment you walk out of the examination room, you are destined to get rid of your youth and face the difficulties of life alone. When you go to college, you need to properly deal with emergencies along the way; when you enter the society, you need to face the complexity of human relationships patiently; when you get married and have children, you need to grit your teeth and hold on to the pressure of supporting a family. You will graduate, work, get married, and support your parents. There are too many responsibilities waiting for you to bear. The end of the college entrance examination does not mean the lifting of burdens, but the coming of more responsibilities. You must work hard, learn, and grow so that your thin shoulders can gradually become broader and eventually become the support of your family. From now on, the eighteen-year-old boy chasing the wind must learn to become a calm adult. You have to live your life as a team, one person can withstand thousands of troops. Dear child, the college entrance examination is the end of a journey and the beginning of a new journey. Once upon a time, you simply thought that a few papers would determine your entire life. As time goes by, you will eventually understand: this exam is not the finish line, it is just the starting gun. Real life begins quietly after the college entrance examination. The road ahead requires you to muster up the courage and take big strides. But don’t be afraid, as long as you look back, you will definitely see our guarding and waiting eyes. The college entrance examination is over. Regardless of whether you did well or not, dad is proud of you. I hope you can pick up your mood, repack your bags, continue to write chapters in the examination room of life, and strive to hand in the most satisfactory answer sheet.
