In China, anyone who has dreamed of studying abroad and worked hard for it knows that "Beijing has New Oriental". On February 22nd, 2007, at 65438, Yu, the founder of New Oriental, known as "the richest teacher", was interviewed by People New Weekly of CCTV. When reviewing his own entrepreneurial experience, he added humorously, "The gentleness of women is in direct proportion to the ability of men. After a man's ability is good, a woman must be gentle; When a man's ability is poor, she will definitely become stronger. Therefore, my wife and I have a raw love first, then a strong marriage, and finally a gentle family. " Overcrowded, but also curious about Yu's married life-
Rough love-I must work hard for you.
The five-year campus life of Peking University has only one word "back" for Yu! 1980, he carried two sacks of luggage from his hometown in Jiangsu to report to the Spanish Department of Peking University. Because I can't speak Mandarin and my English listening comprehension is poor, I started to recite English words for more than ten hours a day, which also left me with the trouble of memorizing English words. Although this made him remember an amazing 80,000 words, it also made him stay in Peking University as an English teacher smoothly. However, during the five years on campus, the students were all flowers of love everywhere, but he was neglected, so that he laughed at himself: "I can't wait to jump on girls when I see them!" "
One day in early autumn, I walked along the tree-lined path on campus again. Walking, suddenly, his old habit of memorizing English words came back. He was anxious to find someone to be a "prosecutor" and test himself at once. Looking around, at the corner of the road, I finally saw the figure of a foreigner emerge. He rushed over and grabbed the foreigner's hand, just like an old friend he hadn't seen for years. "Hello", would you please test my English words? "
The blond foreigner was startled by this sudden situation. Suddenly there was a "poop-poop" smile behind him. I turned around and a beautiful face appeared in front of him. The girl joked, "Don't look for him, I'll test you!" " ..... "In this way, in the past 24 years, Yu, a" bookworm ",had close contact with women for the first time.
But I just started to understand, and I don't know how to pursue the opposite sex. After much thinking, I chose the oldest method-dressing up as a student every night and going to the library for self-study after the girls. Unexpectedly, this wait is five months. One night in the spring of March, Yu accompanied the girl on self-study as usual. Suddenly, the power went out in the library, and it was dark all around. In a panic, Yu calmly lit a lighter: "Don't panic, come with me, the door is on the left ..." This "click" not only lit up the small classroom, but also lit up the road of marriage between Yu and this German flower.
Sure enough, although the girl's mother accepted Yu kindly, her future father-in-law felt that Yu was too weak and dissatisfied. In order to make my in-laws accept themselves as soon as possible, Yu began to grind water again and made great efforts.
One day, he went to his girlfriend's house again. When everyone was ready to eat, he disappeared. This makes the future father-in-law very unhappy: "Why don't you come to eat when all the dishes are on the table?" Old four, go. He'll get it for me. Just then, I saw it coming out. "。 I saw that his head, face, hands and body were all covered with coal ash, and he was a "black man" who had just run out of the coal mine. Seeing his discomfiture, everyone could not help laughing. Simple Yu also touched his head, blushing and laughing: "I just saw the honeycomb coal in the backyard coal pool is a mess." Winter is coming, so it will be very inconvenient to use. I want them to be neat, but I didn't know the workload was quite heavy ... ""You are so honest! I won't ask anyone for help, go and wash and eat! " An unsmiling old man smiled lovingly for the first time.
Halfway through the drink, the old man put down his glass, blushed and grabbed Yu's hand: "Xiao Yu, as parents, we all want our daughter to live a comfortable life." Can you-can you understand? Laosi is the only one of my five daughters who goes to college. She is my baby ... "I looked at the usually taciturn old soldier with red eyes and nodded heavily.
On the wedding night, Yu Hongmin hugged his wife's shoulder and repeated his promise to his father-in-law that day: "I will work hard for you!" "
Strong marriage-New Oriental has half of you and half of me.
Unfortunately, happiness in love didn't last long. In the late 1980s, watching classmates and friends go abroad in succession, Mrs. Yu began to stir: "Hong Min, it's time for you to take the TOEFL!" ! In the future, we will also be returnees and start a company! ""What nonsense! Isn't our life quite good now? " Yu Hongmin stared at the paper in his hand without lifting his eyelids. His disapproving attitude angered his wife, who stood up "Teng": "People live to toss. Look at you, all you know is fooling around on a three-foot platform! " The wife's scolding also angered the same stubborn Yu, who yelled "; Lao tze is like this, you love to follow! "
Because of the small TOEFL, the two men had a fierce quarrel for the first time. In the evening, lying in bed watching his wife's back twitching secretly from time to time, I began to reflect on myself: "As a man, I really should work harder, and my wife is doing it for herself!" " After the thoughts were opened, Yu sincerely apologized to his wife. Yu looked guilty, and Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "Who is angry with you? As long as you are determined to take the exam, you are selling iron in a pot and I support you! "
The weak and strong little woman kept her promise. In order to support Yu to take the TOEFL test, she is responsible for all the housework. Whenever she has time, she helps Yu find information everywhere. But after three and a half years of hard work, the rest went to the United States to study, and all their savings were wiped out.
In order to earn more money and make up for the debts owed to his wife in recent years, I secretly started a part-time job in an English training class outside. What he didn't expect was that the training course not only printed the words "Mr. Yu, Peking University" among advertisers, but also publicly posted advertising leaflets in every corner of Beijing. Soon, a part-time teacher from Peking University, Yan, not only gave Yu a serious warning, but also asked him to repeat the grade for one month without announcing it as a punishment.
I couldn't hold on any longer, so I began to stay indoors every day to drown my sorrows. Knowing the cause and effect, Mrs. Yu lovingly broke the glass in his hand and made a decisive decision; "Come on, let's start our own business! You're knowledgeable and experienced, but you're afraid you won't achieve great things. ! "Also, the two left the Peking University campus where I struggled for 10 in a small flatbed.
1993, New Oriental English Training School was opened in an illegal building of 10 square meter in Zhongguancun. But at that time, English training classes in Beijing had blossomed everywhere, and the humble New Oriental was simply ignored. I was so anxious that my mouth was blistered that I began to post job advertisements on the street day and night. Looking at her haggard husband, Mrs. Yu sneaked back to a second-hand bicycle and followed Yu. "I'll post it with you!" Yu looked worried: "What are you doing outside when it's MINUS 10 degrees in winter?" ? Just wait at home for someone to sign up, and I'll go alone! But Mrs. Yu's stubbornness came again. She smiled mischievously at her husband: "When one hundred people sign up, I will go back to the front desk."
Gradually, students in New Oriental began to take a turn for the better. Just as I was immersed in the joy of entrepreneurial success, an unexpected thing happened-
