Many people may no longer like studying after work, or always use the excuse of being busy. But in fact, if a person really loves learning, no matter what work he does or how busy he is, he will never forget to learn. For example, 1 1 years ago, Fudan University accepted a rickshaw driver as a doctoral student. He is a person who loves to learn. So, how is he now?
This man's name is Cai Wei. At that time, he was just a high school graduate with no skills. In order to make a living, he had to work in a factory.
Cai Wei's family was ordinary, but he loved reading since he was a child, especially books about ancient Chinese characters in China. Therefore, although he is young, he knows a lot of ancient Chinese characters, even some rare words that the teacher doesn't know. He not only knows, but even knows some allusions that even the teacher lamented.
However, because Cai Wei devoted all his energy to the study of ancient Chinese characters, his mathematics and foreign languages became worse and worse, and as a result, he failed in the college entrance examination. However, due to family reasons, after graduating from high school, Cai Wei could not continue his studies, but went to work in a rubber factory. But he likes ancient Chinese characters so much that he still insists on studying after work and even forgets to eat and sleep.
Three years later, the factory in Cai Wei closed down. In order to make a living, he set up a stall near the shopping mall and started a small business. When setting up a stall, Cai Wei often holds a book in his hand, and even reads it all day. When he is not setting up a stall, he even goes into the library and is completely addicted to reading. If he comes across some books that are not borrowed from the library, he will copy them back and read them carefully.
In this way, with the passage of time, although Cai Wei's business has not improved, his research on China's ancient literature has become more and more in-depth. Until 2007, when his wife was laid off due to illness, the family economy became more and more difficult. In order to survive, he became a tricycle driver.
In order to earn more money, Cai Wei often had to work from morning till night, and even his hobby of reading was forced to give up. This made him feel depressed and always wanted to get rid of this state, but there was no chance. Until 2009, a man completely changed Cai Wei's fate, and he was admitted to Fudan University as a doctoral student.
This man is Qiu Xigui, a great master of ancient philology. Speaking, Cai Wei and Qiu Xigui still have an indissoluble bond. That was in 1995, when Cai Wei was still working in a factory, studying ancient Chinese characters.
Cai Wei always regarded Qiu Xigui as an idol and often read his works. One day, he couldn't help writing to Qiu Xigui to ask questions. As a result, Qiu Xigui really wrote back to him, praising him for studying hard regardless of fame and fortune. This made Cai Wei very happy and studied harder.
Two years later, when Qiu Xigui published an article, he didn't give an explanation because he didn't understand the meaning of "Sasako". When Cai Wei saw it, he immediately wrote a letter to Qiu Xigui, telling him that "Zuo Zi" should be pronounced as "Zi Zi", which is an exclamation.
Qiu Xigui was deeply inspired after reading it, and published an article saying that he very much agreed with Cai Wei's explanation. In this way, in the long run, the two met. After learning about Cai Wei's situation, Qiu Xigui encouraged him to take the postgraduate exam, but Cai Wei knew that his English was too poor to pass the exam, so he refused.
It was not until 2006 that Qiu Xigui realized that life in Cai Wei was difficult and he had to pedal a tricycle to make a living. He showed deep sympathy for him and introduced him to a job. Through this job, Qiu Xigui once again deeply realized Cai Wei's profound attainments in ancient Chinese characters, which made him feel extremely sorry for Cai Wei.
So three years later, Qiu Xigui and two other scholars jointly recommended Cai Wei to the Ministry of Education. As a result, Cai Wei was admitted to Fudan University as a doctoral student.
This opportunity was too rare for Cai Wei, who was 38 years old at that time. He didn't even dare to think about it before, so he cherished this learning opportunity and studied very hard every day, and successfully completed his doctoral studies on 20 15. After graduation, Cai Wei went to teach at Anshun University in Guizhou. At the same time, he continued to study ancient Chinese characters and published many academic research articles.
Today, Cai Wei continues to shine in his post. It can be said that he was very lucky to meet Bole in his life, which enabled him to achieve a perfect life counterattack at the age of 38. But he deserves it. After all, he earned it all hard.
