Zhang Xiaoyong 1974 was born in Changsha, Hunan Province, and achieved excellent academic performance since childhood. 199 1 year, he was admitted to Tsinghua University with the first place in science in Changsha county, which not only won honor for his parents, but also paved the way for his future. Zhang Xiaoyong is studying biological science and technology in Tsinghua University. After graduation, it coincides with the national "dual track system" reform. Students can choose to enroll students independently while assigning jobs.
Zhang Xiaoyong joined a Sino-Japanese joint venture. After working in Guangdong for five years, he achieved nothing. The work of the company is not in line with his major, so he can neither learn useful knowledge nor develop his talents. Meanwhile, his father was seriously ill and needed to be taken care of, so Zhang Xiaoyong resigned and went back to Changsha to take care of his father.
Zhang Xiaoyong was deeply moved by the truth that "parents are here and don't travel far". She decided to find a job in Changsha, which is also convenient for taking care of her parents. But after staying in Changsha for several years, there is still no job suitable for my major. So he did real estate sales and customer service, and finally chose to be a community security guard. Parents said they didn't understand their son's choice. His parents thought he was muddling along and didn't want to do better. So many years of books have been wasted.
In fact, every profession has its importance, and there is no distinction between high and low. But with Zhang Xiaoyong's education and talent, being a security guard really wastes his years of study, which makes people feel worthless. On the other hand, Zhang Xiaoyong was very relieved. He said that after so many years, he had long been relieved, had thought about scientific research, and had a spirit of dedication to the country. But the reality is cruel. He didn't find a job in a related major since graduation, and finally his ideals and ambitions were drowned out by the cold water of reality.
After graduation in 2003, he hasn't attended a class reunion until today (17). As a student in Tsinghua, Zhang Xiaoyong is afraid to face his teacher. After all, the students who graduated from Tsinghua suffered little like him, and most of them realized their own life value and social value.
Today, Zhang Xiaoyong is over 40 years old. Confucius said, "Stand at thirty, but don't be confused at forty." Zhang Xiaoyong is still confused about his future. He has no time and energy to fight again, and at the same time he may have resigned himself to not thinking about his original ideals, but to be content with the status quo in front of his own security guards.
Zhang Xiaoyong's experience deserves reflection. Why is high flyers, who graduated from Tsinghua, defeated by reality? What kind of cruel society can make a Tsinghua student give up his dream and fighting spirit and be willing to do nothing in the security post? Perhaps for ordinary people, there is nothing wrong with spending more time with their parents and living a quiet life. But for Zhang Xiaoyong, it is a pity that such a day failed to live up to his parents' expectations and his efforts day after day.
At the same time, his story gives us a lot of inspiration. Even if he was born in Peking University, Tsinghua, if he doesn't have a tenacious heart and the spirit of brave struggle, he will eventually be defeated by social reality. On the contrary, people who haven't gone to college have a vision and yearning for the future, so they are willing to work hard for a better life, and then they are greeted with a bright and splendid life.
