For students (especially middle school students), there is no objection to spending a lot of time and energy in the process of learning, but is it too exaggerated to say that they are "living their own lives"? In fact, this is an indisputable fact, because there are always some students who commit suicide because of the college entrance examination every year. Let's take a look at the following example first:
20 10 On June 25th, a girl in Hubei was heartbroken when she learned that her college entrance examination score was 505. She walked silently into the river until it swallowed her up.
20 10 On June 7th, two more students in Hubei committed suicide because of poor results in the college entrance examination.
On June 27, 2009, a girl in Anhui Province threw herself into the river because her college entrance examination score failed to reach the undergraduate admission line.
On June 25, 2009, a student in Shaanxi hanged himself at home because of his unsatisfactory results in the college entrance examination.
On June 8, 2009, a candidate in Henan Province jumped from the sixth floor of the examination room because of unbearable psychological pressure before the comprehensive examination and died on the spot.
On July 6, 2008, a student in Qingdao was scolded by his father after failing the college entrance examination. He chased his father with a knife and wanted to die together. Fortunately, the police arrived in time to stop him and avoid the tragedy.
……
Pity these teenagers, because the college entrance examination is too persistent and ruined their lives. Here, persistence is simply stupid, pathetic or evil. It makes people lose their minds and do crazy things. Does the college entrance examination really need us to pursue it with such a persistent attitude? You know, throughout the ages, there are not a few people who have become famous after failing the list. Let's look at another set of examples:
Su Xun-Su Xun, a native of Song Dynasty, failed the list twice, but he was not discouraged after failing. After studying hard for more than ten years, he has made great progress in his studies. In the first year of Injong Jiayou (1056), he led his sons Su Shi and Su Zhe to Bianjing to meet Ouyang Xiu, the academician. Ouyang Xiu appreciated Su Xun's works such as Power, Balance and Several Strategies, which were comparable to those of Jia Yi and Liu Xiang in previous dynasties, so he recommended them to the court. At that time, officials and scholars scrambled to tell stories, and Su Xun became famous. Finally, he became one of the "Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties" and wrote such a famous book as Six Kingdoms.
Gui Youguang Gui Youguang, an essayist in Ming Dynasty, failed eight times in scientific research. After his failure, he decided to write a book and put forward an idea. Although he has experienced the test of failure, hunger and debt, he is determined and works harder. Because he insisted on observing, thinking, running, questioning and remembering, he finally wrote a simple, concise and narrative collection of essays-the Collected Works of Mr. Zhenchuan, which was handed down from generation to generation.
Li Shizhen, the third famous medical scientist Li Shizhen, made up his mind to be a doctor. He devoted himself to research all his life and traveled all over the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins. After 27 years of hard work, he consulted more than 800 kinds of medical books and wrote the medical masterpiece Compendium of Materia Medica. Compendium of Materia Medica is divided into 16 parts, 52 volumes, about 1.9 million words. The whole book contains 15 18 kinds of drugs collected from various herbs, and 374 kinds of drugs are added on the basis of predecessors, accounting for 1892 kinds, including 1654 and 38+095 kinds of plants. * * * Collected 1 1 096 prescriptions of ancient pharmacists and folk prescriptions, with more than 1 100 charts of drug morphology attached to the book. This masterpiece has absorbed the essence of herbal works of past dynasties, corrected the previous mistakes as much as possible, supplemented the shortcomings, and made many important discoveries and breakthroughs. It is the most systematic, complete and scientific medical work in China up to16th century.
Pu Songling, a writer in Qing Dynasty, studied hard since childhood and was very talented. However, many times I took the exam, but I was not on the list. Turning anger into passion, he wrote such a pair of couplets to encourage himself: "Where there is a will, there is a way; if you burn your bridges, all customs will eventually succeed;" Hard-working people, everything comes to him who waits, go forward bravely, and 3 thousand Yue family can swallow Wu. "Pu Songling didn't feel depressed because of the failure of scientific research, but used the allusions of" cross the rubicon "and" rest on its laurels "to motivate himself. Although he lived a poor life of "I don't know the taste of meat all day", he was not discouraged and wrote angrily. After unremitting efforts, he finally wrote the immortal masterpiece Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.
Cao Yu, a playwright who failed three times, wanted to be a doctor when he was young. After failing to apply for Beijing Medical College, he actively participated in drama activities, read a lot of European and American literature and drama works, and wrote the famous drama Thunderstorm. The appearance of Thunderstorm is of great significance in the history of modern drama in China. It is recognized as the symbol of China's modern drama's real maturity. After that, Cao Yu successively published Sunrise, Yuan Ye, Black Word 28 (also known as People's Tales, in cooperation with Song Zhi), Thinking, Metamorphosis and other plays, until he finished Peking Man in 194 1 year.
Zhu Lin, a young female writer who failed the list for three times, entered the field of literary creation under the signboard of "educated youth literature". Her novel The Road to Life is the first novel of its kind, which was encouraged and supported by Mao Dun, a leading literary figure at that time. After the book was published, it caused a sensation at home and abroad, and also established her position in the literary world of China. Later, he wrote a lot of novels, such as witches and sobbing Lancang River, as well as short stories and essays. Among them, the autobiographical novel Love on Earth won the National Excellent Novel Award during the Eighth Five-Year Plan period.

Introduce Nie Er, Qu Yuan, Du Fu, Zhan Tianyou and other outstanding figures of the Chinese nation and places of interest around the world in the form of poems, and translate China folk stories and fables. His Esperanto works have attracted much attention abroad, and he is called "China Young Genius Esperanto Poet".
This shows that the spirit of "persistence" is not abused casually. If you don't grasp it properly, you will go astray, especially in the face of the situation of "a thousand troops crossing the wooden bridge", you must do what you can. Although many people thought about the single-plank bridge, more people actually fell off the bridge and drowned. So, don't be too persistent, and you can succeed if you work hard. Because everyone knows that all roads lead to Rome.
