In this season full of academic atmosphere, a Hunan liberal arts tyrant with a dazzling score of 676 points successfully topped the fourth place in the 2020 Hunan Liberal Arts College Entrance Examination.
She has not only become a treasure to compete for by top universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, but also a bright new star in the archaeological field, attracting much attention.
However, this freshman in the Department of Archaeology of Peking University, named "Left-behind Girl", has also encountered "group ridicule" and doubts on the Internet while receiving praise.
Everyone talked about it: a scholar from a poor background had just started to improve his life, but he chose an archaeology major that seemed to have no future. Where is her way out?
In the face of everyone's doubts, Zhong Fangrong did not explain, but decisively packed her bags and went to Peking University to report. So, how is Zhong Fangrong now? Is her future bright?
In 2020, the day of the college entrance examination is both nervous and full of expectations for Zhong Fangrong, she sits in the examination room, her heart beats like a drum, the pen in her hand gallops on the test paper, writing her future dreams, the two-day exam is like a world away, with the ringing of the last subject bell, the big stone in her heart finally fell.
While other candidates were planning how to spend the long summer vacation — whether to travel, work or get a driver's license — Zhong Fangrong chose a more peaceful way — waiting quietly at home for the results to be announced, and she was a little apprehensive, especially not confident in her Chinese scores.
However, when the results of the college entrance examination were announced, Zhong Fangrong's world seemed to be lit up, and she looked at the 676 points on the screen, and tears burst out of her eyes with excitement.
When the results of the college entrance examination were announced, the whole village was boiling, and the principal led more than 50 teachers, like messengers of good news, into this small mountain village overnight and brought Zhong Fangrong's excellent results to her home.
The little girl's home was instantly surrounded by the villagers, and the crowd of people on the third floor and the outer three floors surrounded her, which made her, a usually quiet girl, a little overwhelmed, so nervous that she could barely speak.
However, what is even more touching is that this excellent candidate is actually a left-behind child, her growth path is not smooth, without the company and care of her parents, she has been dependent on her grandparents since she was a child.
In school, with her own hard work and perseverance, she faced the challenges of learning alone, with no cram classes, no tutoring, no extra help, but she still stood out with excellent grades.
When the father learned of his daughter's results, he was so excited that he burst into tears, and the father, who usually pays silently, felt that all his efforts were rewarded at this moment.
Thousands of netizens also sent their blessings to this strong girl, they knew the difficulty behind her, and admired her tenacity and perseverance even more.
Zhong Fangrong has become the focus of attention, and the admissions teachers of Tsinghua University and Peking University have extended olive branches to her, opening a fierce "battle for talents", and Zhong Fangrong's future has become brighter and more hopeful.
When faced with the choice of life after the college entrance examination, she firmly chose the archaeology major of Peking University, although this major may seem unpopular in the eyes of many people, and the employment prospects are not as bright as other popular majors, but for her, this is not an obstacle to her choice.
After Zhong Fangrong chose to major in archaeology at Peking University, a storm of public opinion was set off on the Internet. Faced with many doubts and puzzles, Zhong Fangrong's mother said firmly: "Children have the right to choose what they like. Just when public opinion was in the uproar, a warm force quietly surged.
Archaeology students from different universities have come forward to make a name for the archaeological community, encouraging Chung to stick to her dreams.
These seniors not only used long letters to convey their encouragement to Zhong Fangrong, but also sent various gifts to express their support for her, and even some archaeological institutes and museums also sent her precious materials about archaeology to celebrate her successful admission to the archaeology major of Peking University.
Peking University official Weibo is even more direct voice, strongly support Zhong Fangrong's choice, seniors have also welcomed her to join the big family, subsequently, CCTV also paid attention to this brave dream-chasing girl, in the interview, Zhong Fangrong expressed her deep feelings for archaeology, she mentioned that her idol is the "guardian of Dunhuang" Fan Jinshi, eager to be like her, to become an excellent archaeologist.
Fan Jinshi, who learned all this, personally wrote to Zhong Fangrong to encourage her to pursue her dreams bravely, and this encouragement from her idol undoubtedly gave Zhong Fangrong great confidence and motivation.
In the face of possible difficulties and resistance, she did not flinch, but chose to move forward bravely, for the ideal in her heart, when this decision was learned by netizens, they sent warm messages, encouraging her to persevere, the professors in the archaeological field also expressed high recognition and encouragement for her choice.
After entering the archaeology major, Zhong Fangrong did not slack off, she devoted herself to study and research with great enthusiasm and perseverance, she cherished every opportunity, and explored the mysteries of history with her heart, to dig out those treasures buried by time.
It has been more than three years since Zhong Fangrong stepped into the palace of archaeology at Peking University, has she ever regretted her choice? In fact, in the face of this profession, first-time acquaintances may think that it is full of mystery, and even a little reverie of "tomb robbery", but when you go deeper into it, you will find that it is far from so.
The essence of archaeology is not simply excavating treasures, but a rigorous, tedious and challenging work, and in the past three years, Zhong Fangrong has experienced first-hand the hardships and charms of archaeology.
Not only did she have to learn a wealth of theoretical knowledge, but she also had to participate in field excavations, collation and research to truly understand the significance of archaeology.
At the same time, Zhong Fangrong also got many opportunities, including invitations from famous foreign universities and participation in CCTV programs, which not only broadened her horizons, but also made her more determined to make her choice.
The campus life of Peking University has exposed her to a wider world, and she has communicated and studied with people from various backgrounds, which has invisibly improved her temperament and pattern.
Although archaeology is not a popular major, and the employment prospects may not be as bright as some majors, it must be the most suitable for Zhong Fangrong.
She loves history and enjoys the process of searching for traces of history in archaeology, and this inner satisfaction and happiness cannot be measured by money.
The curse of "it is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family" does not hold true here in Zhong Fangrong, the real "expensive" is not only in money and status, but also in inner fulfillment and satisfaction.
Zhong Fangrong used her own hard work and persistence to prove that as long as you have dreams and love, you can walk out of your own path.
