Why?

Life is just short. I need some ecstatic moments to accomplish my goal. When I surpass the people I despise, I need some fresh feelings. You need to hug and cry when you realize your dreams with the person you like. I want to eat delicious food, have fun, respect my inner thoughts, so that they will not be annihilated, and I don't have to care too much about other people's eyes or money.

The so-called effort is the process of pursuing the added value of these lives, sometimes by enthusiasm, sometimes by persistence, and sometimes just holding your breath.

Li lei

Ph.D. in Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, signing expert of clove doctor, popular science officer of Tencent Medical Code, and scientific researcher.

This is a story that happened in Zhihu, which showed me a real effort and made me understand why I couldn't get into Tsinghua.

I looked at the time, it happened from last year to now, about a year.

-A short story-

The protagonist of the story is a high school student who likes biology.

Last year in Zhihu, he asked me how to read CNS articles, and then I wrote an article to discuss how to read them.

Li Lei: How do middle school students read top periodicals?

Then the primary school brother politely expressed his wish to reprint, and then contacted me on WeChat.

Then I learned that he had just entered high school and was preparing for the competition, because the competition often had to examine some cutting-edge contents.

Then, it is some daily life.

Such as some biological problems.

For example, some spit in life.

Of course, there are more biological problems.

About a few months ago, he told me that he went to Tsinghua Summer Camp. I was shocked because Tsinghua was my dream.

So point out how to prepare and how to give full play to your greatest advantages and abilities at the level of senior high school students.

It turned out well. He got the qualification to walk a book in Tsinghua. I feel this baby is too powerful.

Some time ago, I participated in competition training and occasionally had some problems to discuss.

As a result, two days ago, he suddenly sent a message:

I was shocked that he won the gold medal in the competition and got the ticket to Tsinghua directly.

Just two days after the gold medal, that is, just now, he talked to me again. He wants to get in touch with the scientific research in the laboratory, so let me give some ideas and guidance.

It shocked me.

He is just a high school student, so he pushes himself, and at the same time I am cramming.

-A little self-emotion-

I have always liked Tsinghua, or at least grew up with only two goals in my mind, Tsinghua and Peking University. I was still hesitating about which one to take. Later I learned that I really thought too much.

After so many years, I seem to have forgotten Tsinghua Peking University, only occasionally seeing this name reminds me of my dream at that time.

However, this road taken by my primary school brother can be said that I have experienced it to some extent, but I have not succeeded myself.

I used to think that this was my destiny; However, now I understand more. In fact, what I lack is more effort.

For example, during the competition, I went to the provincial capital to wander around;

For example, when preparing for the exam, I also gave my sister after-school counseling, and so on.

Not to mention now, I stayed up because I have a meeting tomorrow and haven't prepared PPT yet.

In contrast, it is the efforts of students, and this is the gap between people.

———ps———

My primary school brother can take the gold medal and go. That's because he is strong. I basically only play an assistant occasionally. ...

———pps———

I wanted to open Zhihu and say: I woke up so much.

The results show that:

I didn't send it ... I didn't send it. ...

I'd better keep working, as someone said early in the morning.

Where is she? Where is her home?

Grandma came to the United States at the age of 50. She was penniless and had no skills. All she carried with her was a disease left by years of hard work.

It was in the early 1990s, and she worked in a flower factory in Chinatown, working for more than ten hours a day, 365 days a year.

Although her eyes are bad, she can stab flowers faster than anyone else.

Someone played the guitar and got cocoon, someone moved bricks and got cocoon, and she got cocoon with a needle.

When she came back to see me, she brought me Ferrero chocolate, potato chips with stubble and Jif peanut butter.

She bought me a nice little suit, which cost tens of dollars a catty of yellow snails.

She took me to the zoo, amusement park and forest park, and also took me to Beijing to see the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square and the statue of Chairman Mao.

"Grandma, is America better than Beijing?"

She described the prosperity of new york to me in the simplest language and told me that the United States is beautiful and everything is waiting for me.

Rich girls are often discussed on Zhihu. I have a story about a boy who became rich.

One year, I ate all the chocolate, potato chips and peanut butter, but grandma still didn't come back.

That's the first truth about life I don't want to know. She fell ill after a stroke.

When grandma immigrated to America, she brought three underage sons, two uncles, three uncles and four uncles.

The second and third uncles went to work the day after they landed in the United States, and the younger fourth uncle left school after studying for a few years.

They work in relatives' restaurants, twelve hours a day and six days a week.

This restaurant is open 364 days a year and only closes on Thanksgiving Day.

After grandma was paralyzed, my uncles took turns to return to China, bringing me delicious food and taking me out to play.

I like playing table tennis. My uncle bought me a ping-pong bat and a ping-pong table.

Four-wheel drive was popular one year, and my uncle bought me a remote-controlled off-road vehicle to help me crush all my friends.

My fourth uncle is young and romantic, and he never forgets to take me with him when he goes out to pick up girls. He wants to train me into the next generation of lovers.

They never talk about the hardships of living in America, which is a secret of adults and has nothing to do with me.

Five years after grandma went abroad, my parents also went to America.

How can you be down and out? The couple don't even have their own room.

Zhahua has been eliminated by the times and can only do heavy work. My father used to be a butcher, a container worker and a freight driver.

I don't need to elaborate, it's a cliche of 12 hours x 365 days.

Later, their four brothers got together and opened a small supermarket and a restaurant. Later, they opened a second small supermarket and a second restaurant.

There is more and more money, but the old habits of old guys working hard have not been alleviated at all.

Five years after my parents went abroad, I also came to America and saw the true colors of life.

I lived in new york for several months and took my paraplegic grandmother to see the prosperity of the world capital.

Before that, she had hardly walked out of Chinatown. When she described new york to me before, it was half a report and half an imagination.

Later, he returned to his parents and ended the five-year separation of flesh and blood.

My father met me at the station and took me to a small villa. He proudly told me, "This is our home. I knew you were coming, so I bought it. "

I have been to the dark and shabby apartment building where my grandmother lived when she first came to America, and I have also been to the moldy basement where my parents lived. I knew that my new home would have a bed and a room, but I didn't expect that I would have a villa, a front yard, a backyard and a paved future.

Why should people work hard in this life?

Grandma's answer is me, my parents' answer is me, my answer is them, and my wife and children who have entrusted their lives to me.

For me, when I grow up, I have more responsibilities, and naturally I want to work hard, not to make big money, but to live the life I want and live a life that my grandmother and parents never had. They suffered a lot for me and helped me walk ninety-nine steps. I just need to take one more step. How dare I hesitate?

Since my great grandparents, more than 80 people in my family have struggled in the United States for more than half a century. We are all working hard, and every generation is getting better.

If you don't have a high starting point in life, it doesn't matter if no one walks through every step of your life for you. Although you work hard, the extra steps will not be wasted. Someone you care about will always use them, and you will meet someone you care about sooner or later.

* * * Whatever you want.

Are China people discriminated against abroad?

Husband and wife have many tourists; The risks are far away, but the risks are few. The extraordinary world outlook often lies in the dangerous distance, and what people lack is difficulty, so where there is a will, there is a way. If you are ambitious, you can't stop, but if you don't have enough strength, you can't get there. Have ambition and strength, but don't be lazy. As for darkness and confusion, nothing can match it, nor can it be realized. However, the strength is enough, people can laugh at it, but they have regrets; Those who can't do what I want can have no regrets, so who can laugh at them?
