57 years old? College Entrance Examination!
These two incompatible keywords are really closely combined by Liang Shi.
That's right, he is about to run 60 and has taken the 28th college entrance examination in his life this year, and even before the college entrance examination, he said: This is the last college entrance examination in my life!
It is understandable if Tang Shangjun, as a top student, brushes his sense of existence in the college entrance examination every year, and even earns some extra money.
But seeing Liang Shi's 27 college entrance examination results, I really don't understand......
He has been taking the college entrance examination since 1983, and today, at the age of 57, he has taken the college entrance examination 28 times without taking the 500 once.
However, Liang Shi has been admitted to some universities in the 27 exams before this.
It's just that he chose to give up because he always wanted to reach Sichuan University in his heart, and some times even if his score reached Liang Shi, he didn't even apply for the exam.
So, why is Liang Shi obsessed with the college entrance examination? Which universities have he been admitted to in these 27 college entrance examinations?
What kind of character is he in reality, can't he take the college entrance examination?
The ultimate goal is none other than Sichuan University
In 1983, Liang Shi took the college entrance examination for the first time as a senior in high school, and at this time he was just a simple college entrance examination student and did not receive much attention.
It was in this year that Liang Shi failed the college entrance examination for the first time.
Unwilling, he decided to re-study again and prepare for the next year's college entrance examination, but he still failed.
How could Liang Shi, who failed twice, admit defeat, and in 1985, Liang Shi signed up for the college entrance examination again.
However, this time he chose to go to Neijiang and other places to review, and even so, Liang Shi still did not make the list.
Liang Shi thought that it was his learning style and attitude that caused him not to be admitted.
So in 1986, he left the technical school of Leshan Roll Factory and took the college entrance examination again.
No parent wants their children to devote all their time to the college entrance examination, which will only achieve nothing.
However, Liang Shi insisted on his idea and gave up continuing his studies at the Leshan Roll Factory Technical School.
Because he only thinks about Sichuan University.
In the past few years, Liang Shi has been doing odd jobs near Neijiang to make money, and Liang Shi has done all kinds of dirty work.
Coupled with the review, Liang Shi spent a lot of energy, but unfortunately Liang Shi still failed in the next few college entrance examinations.
However, during this period, Liang Shi actually reached the first line and the second line, but Liang Shi did not choose to apply for the university.
In an interview with him, Liang Shi said that he wanted to study at Sichuan University.
Unfortunately, the age limit for the college entrance examination in 1992 made it impossible for Liang Shi to take the college entrance examination again.
In 1992, he took the adult college entrance examination due to overage, and then he was successfully admitted to the College of Adult Education of Nanjing Forestry University.
But even so, Liang Shi felt that this college was not his ideal type, so he gave up.
But fortunately, in 2001, the cancellation of the college entrance examination without age limit system restored hope to Liang Shi, who failed the college entrance examination 5 times.
As he began to embark on the road of the college entrance examination again, he wanted to have the opportunity to enter Sichuan University to study.
However, in several consecutive college entrance examinations, Liang Shi did not get satisfactory results.
Since he had been a science subject for the first few times, in 2022 Liang Shi decided to start trying liberal arts.
At first, Liang Shi thought that liberal arts were simply memorization, but in fact it was not.
Liang did underestimate the difficulty of the liberal arts, and in that year he failed again, still far from his ultimate goal.
By 2024, Liang Shi has taken the college entrance examination 27 times, but he has never been admitted to his dream university, Sichuan University.
Liang Shi was admitted to the university
The 57-year-old has taken the college entrance examination 28 times, and must have been accepted into some universities among them.
But because he stuck to his goal, he gave up these places.
In 1992, Liang Shi was actually admitted to the College of Adult Education of Nanjing Forestry University.
But because he was taking the adult college entrance examination and did not achieve the expected goal in his heart, Liang Shi gave up going to this school.
Liang Shi didn't actually go to the school for the next few college entrance examinations.
Although Liang Shi was either more than 300 or more than 400 in the college entrance examination several times in a row, because of his own reasons, no university admitted him.
Every time a score is released, Liang Shi is waiting for the score to appear.
Seeing that he did not reach the score of Sichuan University, Liang Shi naturally gave up applying for the school.
In the process of these college entrance examinations, Liang Shi tried to find why, but there has been no suitable solution.
At first, Liang Shi thought it was because of his own learning style.
As a result, I began to change many learning styles and environments.
But it backfired, it never worked, and he ended up failing again and again.
However, in 2016, Liang Shi's college entrance examination score reached the second line, which can be regarded as the first time he has reached the second line since he took the college entrance examination 20 times, but he did not apply for the school.
In 2017, Liang Shi's firm belief in his heart began to shake, in fact, Sichuan University is not so important, and a good university in Erben is actually okay.
In this way, until 2018, Liang Shi took the college entrance examination again, which was his 22nd time taking the college entrance examination.
This time, Liang Shi did reach the second line with a score of 496 points, but there was no good university to go to, so Liang Shi still did not apply for the college.
Liang Shi, who has participated in many science college entrance examinations, initially thought that it was because science was too difficult, so he decided to choose liberal arts to take the college entrance examination.
But even changing liberal arts in 2022 won't do much.
I thought that the liberal arts would be very simple, but the reality gave Liang Shi a heavy blow.
However, in 2023, Liang Shi finally changed his goal.
As long as his score can reach one, he will go to it, and if the score can go to a good school with two books, he is also willing to go.
In this year, Liang Shi was no longer obsessed with Sichuan University, but after the results came out, Liang Shi didn't even reach the second line, let alone go to college.
Failure ran through Liang Shi's 27 college entrance examinations, and he was expecting his results every year but leaving disappointed every year.
Looking back on Liang Shi's road to the college entrance examination, it was actually very difficult, his life was not rich, but he devoted most of his life to the college entrance examination.
In 1986, Liang Shi, who was born in an ordinary family, worked hard to make money in order to take the college entrance examination.
During the day, he is like a peddler, carrying a heavy backpack, walking the streets and alleys, selling TVs, refrigerators, and clothes, even if he makes a penny.
In the evening, he chewed two hard steamed buns and rushed to the cram school, listening to the teacher's lecture until dark.
In 1991, Liang Shi worked in a state-owned timber factory.
Unexpectedly, in 1993, the lumber mill closed down, and Liang Shi had to leave his hometown and come to Chengdu.
He borrowed 80,000 yuan as start-up capital and opened a building materials store in Chengdu, earning more than 2 million yuan a year.
In 1998, Liang Shi built his own building materials factory in Baijia Town, Shuangliu, and his wife Liu Qun also opened a store in Fusenmei Home.
Unfortunately, in 2010, the building materials factory was forced to close due to relocation, and Liang Shi began to concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination at that time.
In the past 20 years, Liang Shi's building materials store has moved back and forth several times, and now his annual income is only 100,000 yuan, barely maintaining the family's expenses.
However, although so many years have passed, his dedication to the college entrance examination has never changed.
2024 Final Battle
In 2024, Liang Shi said that this is the last time he will take the college entrance examination, but we all know that he still has regrets in his heart.
After taking the college entrance examination 27 times but not really succeeding, Liang Shi will inevitably not be sad in his heart.
No matter how determined a person is, in the face of so many failures, he will give up one day.
And the exam questions in the new era are gradually changing, and the 57-year-old Liang Shi has no more energy.
Liang Shi has long since lost the ability to compete with us honest young people for university places.
His memory and concentration are declining, and it is difficult for him to bear the pressure of the college entrance examination for several months.
Liang Shi, who had just walked out of the examination room, was interviewed by the media, and in the 27th college entrance examination, Liang Shi's Chinese score was 85 points, 104 points in mathematics, 86 points in foreign languages, and 149 points in liberal arts, with a total score of 424 points.
And this time for the 28 college entrance examinations, Liang Shi estimated that his language score should be able to score 110 points.
However, none of us know whether Liang Shi will succeed in this last college entrance examination, but we still have to admire his perseverance.
Liang Shi has never given up on the road to college, he has always persevered, but with the impact of time, he has no ability to persevere.
He still has his own life, and it is impossible to waste it all the time because of the college entrance examination.
In 2024, Liang Shi will take the college entrance examination for the last time, this time, whether he succeeds or not, Liang Shi will accept it, and he will still choose liberal arts this year. The goal is still his original Sichuan University, and it doesn't matter to him what major he studies.
In the end, Liang Shi has always insisted on doing what he recognizes, and it is also a firm belief in his heart.
Just after Liang Shi walked out of the examination room on June 8, 2024, he told reporters that it may be difficult for him to succeed this time, and it is very likely that he will not take the college entrance examination again.
The college entrance examination runs through Liang Shi's life, and the college entrance examination is both a knot and a regret.
Every attempt is his pursuit of his dreams, and every day and night of preparing for the exam is a contest between him and himself.
Although Liang Shi felt that it might be difficult to succeed this time, and he might even no longer take the college entrance examination, his past experience has become a unique landscape.
For him, the college entrance examination has too much of his emotions and sustenance, which is an unforgettable part of his heart.
Even if he may eventually stop the pursuit, his struggles still deserve our respect and remembrance.
His story may inspire more people to bravely face the challenges and dreams in life, and strive to pursue the goals in their hearts, even if the road is rough and full of unknowns.
In any case, Liang Shi has left a strong mark in the history of the college entrance examination, and has become a vivid symbol of perseverance and dreams in people's hearts.

We will wait and see the results of 2024, and it is also unknown whether Liang Shi will take next year's college entrance examination.
