Zheng Wu, the top liberal arts scholar in Henan Province, has parents working at home and his brother working outside. Earlier, some media reported that her family was relatively poor, but Zheng Wu thought that she was "not a poor child in a strict sense". With the full support of her family, "at least I didn't worry about material conditions during school." Zheng Wu told the newspaper that he agreed that "it is difficult to have a noble son in a poor family", but at the same time, he hinted that "there are also black sheep in a noble family". "Whether you come from a poor family or your family, it is difficult to be your son. It is respectable to succeed through your own efforts. "
"Parents' education and background will affect their children's education, but it is not the decisive factor". Zheng Wu explained that children with good family conditions have many opportunities to learn talents and broaden their horizons, but "learning is a personal matter, and individual initiative is the most important". The biggest difficulty in becoming "precious children" is whether they can make unremitting efforts. Even if your children have all the conditions, you still have to make great efforts.
"It may be that I walked less, saw less scenery, met fewer people, and broadened my horizons without others. My talents are not as much and profound as others. " Zheng Wu said that his advantage "lies in his willingness to learn, and he feels happy and enjoyable in the process".
Lei Yongquan, the champion of liberal arts in Hunan Province, who also comes from a peasant family, does not agree that parents' education and background will affect their children's education. "In the same school, the platform is the same, and the family differences are weakened." In her view, as long as you enter a good learning environment, "it is enough for teachers to teach themselves to learn."
In this regard, the survey data shows that 52.5% of the top candidates in the college entrance examination come from provincial model high schools. Like him, Zhejiang champion Wang, Henan liberal arts champion and Hainan liberal arts champion Li are all key high schools in their provinces. "Our high school is one of the best in the province, and the teachers are also very dedicated, whether it is teachers or hardware facilities. I feel that if I didn't choose this high school, it would be difficult for me to have today's results. " Chen Chen told the newspaper.
"Family members can guarantee that you are well informed, but they can't guarantee that everyone is self-motivated. Learning is your own business, and you have to rely on yourself anyway. " She thinks that even if some families have resources, it is useless not to use them. "Many children who study well have bad family backgrounds, but those families pay more attention to education." Lei Yongquan told the newspaper.
Li, the champion of liberal arts in Hainan College Entrance Examination, said in an interview with the newspaper that as a champion of college entrance examination from an ordinary family, he certainly doesn't have as many resources as others, which will have some influence on his personal growth and development. "Parents have different academic qualifications and backgrounds, and the educational conditions provided to their children may be different, but the most important thing is personal efforts. Some things can be improved through hard work, not at home. "
Even Chen Chen, who is aware of the gap with his classmates from better families, thinks that "the birth of your son" is not determined by "poor family" and "expensive family", and "family" is only an auxiliary role. "Aren't there many successful people with ordinary backgrounds?" Chen Chen believes that the gap of family background can be "bridged". In life and study, Chen Chen always actively integrates into larger groups, knows more people, draws "nourishment" from different people, and keeps growing.
"This process is the process of making friends and broadening our horizons. There is no setback for me. " Chen Chen told the newspaper that she was surprised that she would become a top scholar in the province, but she was happy to get "the opportunity to climb a higher platform".
