Walking with them (4): Yu Minhong

—— The twelfth letter of Clivia class next semester from 221 to 222

Dear gentlemen and gentlemen:

Happy weekend! It must be very happy to end a busy week of study and return home to be with your family. I am as happy with your happiness as you are.

Last night, after dinner, I took a walk in the community, but I didn't see it for a few days. The roadside hollyhocks were in full bloom in a large area, one by one, forming a small red forest, and every flower was in full bloom!

The campus is still full of "spring scenery". What attracts our attention is not only the pink flowers in front of the school motto stone, but also the buttonwood tree. In just two years, each buttonwood tree has a shade, which provides us with a piece of shade in summer. In the flower beds on both sides of the central road, sorrel still blooms vigorously, and the flowers weave a red sea; A kind of weed called bowl flower climbs up holly and produces big pink trumpets; An intoxicating fragrance of flowers makes you follow the fragrance. It turns out that the Magnolia tree has several big white flowers ... < P > Yesterday morning, I happened to find that behind the motto stone of our school, there are many young Yang seedlings facing the sun in the wind. Just a month ago, Yang Hua was raging, "only to solve the snow flying all over the sky"; Now, a month later, everyone will see a small poplar sapling. Although many of them can't survive because of human destruction, you will see many poplar saplings by the roadside ditch. The vitality of seeds is really strong!

If your dream is also a seed, then, gentlemen, do you see the power of the dream seed?

We are also seeds. No matter what the situation is now, the little gentlemen "will eventually cross the soil and head for the bright side". Use your actions to "promise the years and let life blossom"!

This week has been flying by. We commented on the three-mode test paper and practiced nervously and intently before the exam. This week, I used the morning self-study or after-dinner counseling time to have a heart-to-heart talk with about 3 classmates, encouraging everyone to absorb knowledge like a sponge, which will definitely come in handy in the examination room. In fact, everyone does the same. Everyone's study status is very good, and time waits for no one!

this letter continues to introduce life examples to everyone. In fact, I have been thinking about which character to recommend to you for several days. After reading a book by Ma Xiaosong, Top Students in Friends Circle, I thought of Yu Minhong, the founder of New Oriental.

When young gentlemen go home to surf the Internet, they will always pay attention to a news item. In recent days, the live broadcast industry of New Oriental has been swept to a new height with goods. An employee named Dong Yuhui made a hot search for the anchor of New Oriental by himself, and the daily transaction volume exceeded 1 million yuan, and the stock of New Oriental soared. Why is Dong Yuhui so awesome? Little gentlemen can have a look at Baidu. It turns out that he is also an example for us to learn.

He used to be an English teacher in the teaching and training institution of New Oriental. Although he is only 3 years old, he has already become a famous English teacher in New Oriental. Last year, due to the double reduction, I began to follow the transformation of New Oriental as a network anchor and live broadcast with goods. You can't hear anything like "buy it!" "Link on 321!" On the contrary, you can hear live broadcasts in both Chinese and English, literature and philosophy, poetry and distance.

When he sold Liu Cixin's Three-body, he said, "There is a classic saying in Three-body: it is not weakness and ignorance that threaten your existence, but arrogance. I think ignorance will lead to arrogance, because ignorant people tend to be fearless. The more books you read, the more modest you will be, just as the fuller the ears of grain will sink. " While telling these philosophies of life, he will also teach you how to pronounce an "arrogant" sentence in English. A group of "laid-off and re-employed" teachers entered the live broadcast industry and played live broadcast to a new height. In addition to Dong Yuhui, other anchors are good at poetry, singing and dancing, and even know five foreign languages. Many netizens who watched their live broadcast could not help but sigh: "Knowledge is useful at any time!"

but, little gentlemen, you know what? Born in a rural family, Dong Yuhui never learned English when he was a child. After being scolded by the teacher, Dong Yuhui began to study English seriously. By the second day of junior high school, his English score jumped to the first place in the whole grade. Because of this experience, Dong Yuhui chose English major when he was admitted to the university.

What we want to share today is not the story of Dong Yuhui, but the story of Yu Minhong, the boss of Dong Yuhui and the founder of New Oriental. His stories are very inspirational, and he is better at inspirational speeches himself. Little gentlemen can find many videos or manuscripts of his inspirational speeches on the Internet. I've heard two videos myself, I've seen him at a meeting place, and I've watched the movie "Chinese Partner" based on him.

Let's look at an introduction in Baidu Encyclopedia: Yu Minhong, born on September 4th, 1962 in Xiagang Street, Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province, is the founder of New Oriental Education Group and an expert in English teaching and management. Chairman of New Oriental Education Group, co-founder of Hongtai Fund, vice president of China Young Entrepreneurs Association and member of all-china youth federation. In 198, he was admitted to the Department of Western Languages in Peking University, where he stayed as a teacher after graduation. He resigned from Peking University in 1991, founded Beijing New Oriental School in 1993, led New Oriental to be listed on the new york Stock Exchange in 26, won the CCTV Economic Person of the Year in 29, and won the 5 most influential business leaders in China in 212. On November 26th, 214, Hongtai Fund was founded together with Sheng Xitai, former chairman of Huatai United Securities. In May 215, he made a guest appearance in the large-scale historical film "Cyclone Nine Days". On December 1, 217, he was elected as the Standing Committee of the Democratic Central Committee.

isn't this resume impressive?

but you know what? Yu Minhong, like many of us, is also a farmer's child, and he failed in English. But interestingly, the cram school founded by Yu Minhong University is an English cram school, and now the New Oriental English cram school is blooming all over the country.

So, how did Yu Minhong change from a peasant boy to a successful social elite today?

In this letter, we are looking for the answer to this question from Yu Minhong's growing and studying experience.

In 1962, Yu Minhong was born in an ordinary rural family in Huqiao Village, Xiagang Street, Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province. His father was a carpenter and his mother was a woman captain of the local production team. Yu Minhong also has a sister who is a barefoot doctor.

very ordinary family, isn't it?

In 1976, Yu Minhong graduated from junior high school. After graduation, he did not go to senior high school, but went back to the countryside. Because the policy at that time was that only one of the children of poor and middle peasants could go to high school. Yu Minhong's sister graduated from high school.

In 1978, the second year after the resumption of the college entrance examination, Yu Minhong took the college entrance examination and applied for Changshu Teachers College. As a result, he scored only 33 points in English, and his scores in other subjects were also poor, while the score in English in Changshu Teachers College was 38 points that year.

Gentlemen, if you were Yu Minhong, would you give up your studies and think that you are not the material to study? Isn't it "36 lines, and each line is the best"? To learn some skills, not to pursue self-realization?

Yu Minhong may start with the same idea as above, returning home to farm, driving a tractor, transplanting rice, cutting rice, and working as a substitute teacher in junior high school. But Yu Minhong was unwilling, so he chose to repeat. Results In the second year of college entrance examination, Yu Minhong made progress in English, and scored 55 points. However, in that year, Changshu Teachers College scored 6 points in English, but Yu Minhong was still not admitted to Teachers College.

Gentlemen, if you were Yu Minhong, would you be discouraged?

After failing the list for the second time, Yu Minhong had to go home and continue farming. But he was still unwilling, so he chose to repeat it again. However, he knew where his shortcoming was, that is, English, so he signed up for an English cram school. Moreover, this review, he last stand, quit his job as a substitute teacher, and he has the backbone of Mao Zedong in those days-the child is determined to go to the countryside, and he will never return if he doesn't learn to be famous!

There is an advertisement saying that if you know where you are going, the whole world will make way for you. We clamored to spell it before the mid-term exam, but Yu Minhong was the real spell. In the third year of college entrance examination, he scored 95 points in English and was admitted to Peking University one month later.

After three college entrance examinations, Yu Minhong changed his life and made him sum up a life creed. That is, if you work hard for one thing, but you don't succeed, life won't get worse; If there is a possibility of success, we must strive for it.

There are also Ma Yun who has had similar experiences. Ma Yun also passed the college entrance examination for three times. He also failed in mathematics in the first college entrance examination. Oh, he only got one point. Three years later, he was admitted to the Foreign Languages Department of Hangzhou Normal University, and his score in mathematics in the college entrance examination was 89.

To sum up, Yu Minhong's three college entrance examination experiences tell us that if you set your study goal, you should go all out towards it, and don't give up lightly until the last moment. Keep on believing, keep on acting, and you will have the last laugh.

Little gentlemen, do you remember such a couplet? If there is constancy, there is no need to get up at night and sleep at five o'clock; The most useless thing is to be exposed to the cold for ten days in one day. Take Yu Minhong as an example, and you can also write your academic legend!

Yu Minhong's efforts are determined to change his life through the college entrance examination, and he insists on it. At the same time, it is also because of his mother's efforts.

Yu Minhong was hit hard by his failure in the college entrance examination twice in a row. He began to hesitate whether to give up going home to farm or continue to prepare for the third college entrance examination. At that time, Yu Minhong's grades had reached a bottleneck and it was difficult to make a breakthrough. Yu Minhong's mother tried every means to help Yu Minhong enter the English cram school in a middle school with the highest English teaching level in Jiangyin County. Due to the foundation and the guidance of teachers, Yu Minhong's English grades rose very quickly.

Gentlemen, behind Yu Minhong is the efforts of his mother. Behind us, there are also our parents' unremitting efforts: exhortation before the start of school, tireless shuttle service on weekends, earnest expectation before the exam, comfort and encouragement after the exam … not to mention providing us with economic conditions and taking care of us. Which parent is not looking forward to your child, expecting you to grow up healthily and successfully! When your grades drop, your parents are more anxious than you; When the weather changes suddenly, parents send clothes in time; Every Friday afternoon, one or two hours before school is over, the school gate is full of parents ... < P > And parents' trust and expectation for their children's lives will be felt by children; If the child can't feel it, it may be that your expression is wrong. What we are facing now is children who have entered adolescence, so we should choose carefully in our expressions. Governing by doing nothing is certainly not desirable; Aggressive methods, criticism and even shouting and scolding are often counterproductive. We can't control or control the children's behavior, we can only help them. Just like planting crops, we can't pull out seedlings to encourage them to grow, and we can only do some topdressing and weeding work on the side, giving as much sunshine and rain as possible, and when these jobs are done, the crops will grow well.

By the way, Yu Minhong graduated from the Western Language Department of Peking University, and later founded New Oriental, so he certainly has a lot of experience in English learning. For those students who have difficulties in learning English, please see Yu Minhong's specific suggestions on learning English:

There is no shortcut to English, so we have to rely on our usual accumulation, listen more and practice more, so as to improve our English.

First, practice makes perfect through repeated practice within limited conditions.

Second, leave enough time for training every day. For example, if you spend 2 hours a day, your tongue will become more and more flexible and your ears will become more and more sensitive. Slowly, your English will improve.

what, isn't this a cliche?

That's the truth. Gentlemen can click on the link to see this interview: http://www.neworiental.org/news/ymhzl/2174/8334599.html, or you can enter the keyword "How do China students learn English most effectively" in the search engine. The webpage has Yu Minhong's detailed explanation on this issue.

One more thing, please pay attention to students who need to improve their English. There was a senior in the year before last. His English score in the eighth grade last semester was always below 96, but he could reach above 96 in the eighth grade next semester. Why is there such a big improvement? He summed it up by himself: the teacher will lead them to analyze the sentence components next semester, and when he understands it, it will be easy to memorize it. So he said that English learning must be based on the understanding of grammar knowledge. Do you agree with this?

Gentlemen, Yu Minhong's life and career after the college entrance examination are even more bumpy and inspirational. However, this letter mainly introduces his three college entrance examination experiences. If you are interested in Yu Minhong's experience, you can continue reading in Baidu Encyclopedia, watch one or two videos of his speeches or buy books written by him.

Yu Minhong is an example for everyone to study in school now, and it will also be an example for everyone to start a business in the future. Of course, there are many such role models: Ma Yun, Liu Chuanzhi, Shi Yuzhu, Zhou Hongwei, Ren Zhengfei, Ma Huateng, Li Yanhong and Wei Jianjun. When you have time, you can also search for their introductory texts or read related biographies.

However, all the entrepreneurs mentioned above are men, and girls may not be satisfied with this list. In fact, there are many women, such as Tao Huabi, the founder of Laoganma brand, Dong Mingzhu, the former president of Gree Group, and Jiang Peizhen, the chairman of Jinsangzi Group. As for women in various fields, there are even more women, such as Yan Ning, a female scientist, Tu Youyou, a Nobel Prize winner, Tie Ning, a writer, and Shu Ting, a poet ... Women don't want men, like Mulan, and more women realize themselves in modern times! You can get a long list by just searching.

Up to this letter, "Walking with them", four letters introduced four characters, and I believe that both gentlemen and gentlemen can get some inspiration from their experiences; The next four letters will tell you the stories of several heroes. Who are they? Stay tuned.

I wish every student review and progress, and get the best results in the senior high school entrance examination!

yours, miss Wang
