Secondary school students counterattacked Zhejiang University, jumping out of the peak of life at a height of 2.11 meters
Recently, a piece of news sparked heated discussions on the Internet: a secondary school student in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province was successfully admitted to Zhejiang University with his excellent high jump results! This teenager named Zheng Weijie has proved with his own efforts: as long as you have a dream, even a secondary school student can jump into a top university!
Zheng Weijie, who was born in 2005, has been fond of sports since he was a child. While other children are addicted to cartoons, he prefers to watch sports channels. This unusual interest laid the groundwork for his future success.
When he was in the fifth grade of primary school, Cheng Weijie participated in the high jump competition of the school sports day for the first time. With his innate height advantage, he easily won the crown. This success ignited his passion for the sport of high jump, and he has been out of control ever since.
In the third year of junior high school, Zheng Weijie became the seeded player in the school's high jump event. On the recommendation of his classmates, he began to study in the sports club system. This experience has given him a solid foundation and a clearer plan for his future.
In 2021, Zheng Weijie passed the high school entrance examination and entered Wenzhou Vocational Secondary School to study the application and maintenance of new energy vehicles. This choice may seem like a far cry from his athletic prowess, but it has proven to give him a wider range of room to develop.
In the first year of school, Zheng Weijie's high jump results in the school sports meeting were not satisfactory. But this defeat did not knock him down, but instead inspired him to fight even stronger. He began to train harder, increasing the frequency of training to an unprecedented degree.
Hard work pays off. In 2022, Zheng Weijie broke the school's high jump record with a score of 2.07 meters, and successfully entered the school's track and field team to receive systematic professional training. This year, he also obtained a national first-class athlete certificate, which was the icing on the cake of his sports career.
With the encouragement of his teacher, Zheng Weijie signed up for the sports single-enrollment exam at Zhejiang University. In order not to let the cultural class drag him back, he deliberately took a leave of absence for more than a month to make up for his cultural knowledge without sleep or food. This well-rounded attitude was the key to his ultimate success.
On April 18, 2024, Zheng Weijie successfully crossed the line with an astonishing score of 2.11 meters in the Zhejiang University Sports Single Recruitment Professional Examination held in Rizhao City, Shandong Province, with a comprehensive score of 89.95 points. This score not only exceeded the admission line, but also far exceeded the perfect score standard of 2.08 meters!
Cheng Weijie's success is no accident. In addition to his own efforts and talents, the cultivation of Wenzhou Vocational Secondary School has also contributed to it. The school adheres to the educational concept of "five educations at the same time", fully taps the potential of students, and improves the quality of students. This year, a total of five students from the school have been admitted to prestigious universities through sports single recruitment, and the results are outstanding.
Cheng Weijie's story is not only a personal success, but also a victory for the entire education system. It tells us that the essence of education is not to divide streams, but to teach students according to their aptitude, so that each child can find their own development path.
For thousands of secondary school students, Zheng Weijie's experience is undoubtedly a shot in the arm. It proves that as long as you have a dream, as long as you are willing to work hard, even if you have a different starting point, you can create miracles.
