Xueba does not mean a person who can get full marks, nor a nerd who just studies with his head down all day, but a person who really sticks to his dreams. Generally speaking, the first is to study hard, and the second is to love learning.
Tsinghua Xueba and Peking University Xueba are common among young and promising students, but my grandfather Xueba is rare. He is 85-year-old Wang Dakang from Leshan City, Sichuan Province.
Wang Dakang 1996 studied as an undergraduate, majored in music in 2006, and lived a life of poetry and distance. Today, at the age of 85, he still insists on learning English, practicing calligraphy, playing the piano, taking care of flowers and plants, and actively exercising. He is called Grandpa Xueba. At the scene of CCTV's "China Geographical Names Conference", he did what he said with three-finger push-ups, and even the host Lu Jian sighed and praised the die-hard grandfather! "Don't say that Sang Yu is late, because the sky is still full of clouds" is his true portrayal.
The reason why Wang Dakang was so tough in his later years lies in his perseverance, perseverance and determination.
Life experience of 85-year-old grandpa Xueba
Grandpa Wang Dakang is a famous traveler and geek in Leshan. He once created two China firsts, namely, the first person to travel around the country by bike and the first person to be the oldest college student in China.
Wang Dakang was born in Zimu Town, Leshan City, 1935. He used to be a soldier in the army, but later he went home and became a farmer. In order to realize his dream when he was young, 198 1 February 5, 2008, he rode a brand-new Wuyi heavy bicycle, took simple tents, pots, stoves, quilts, clothes and food, bid farewell to his wife and children, and embarked on the road of cycling around the city and rushed to the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland.
Uncle Wang thinks that life is short, and it is always good to gain more knowledge. He races against time to gain some time to study, and his attitude of insisting on learning has been fully reflected before. 1In August 1996, Wang Dakang entered the Chinese Department of Adult Education of Sichuan Normal University with his luggage to study journalism, and in 2000, he entered the graduate school, becoming the oldest graduate student in China. In the summer of 2008, at the age of 73, he chose the Music College of Leshan Normal University for further study for four years. 20 16 due to the improvement of writing ability, Wang Dakang's Riding Travels was published.
It is precisely because of these studies that he enriched his later life and gained a lot of spiritual support from his studies, which made people sit up and take notice. Because I love learning, I have been pursuing the life belief of "never too old to learn" for decades. As "Grandpa Xueba", I really live up to my reputation and live my true self.
Every morning at 4: 30, Uncle Wang gets up, takes a cold bath first, then does activities in the living room, does 30 push-ups, learns to broadcast gymnastics movements, then makes his own strokes according to Tai Chi, and then starts to learn English and read "Ancient Chinese Literature" and so on.
It is also his daily work to keep a diary, read newspapers and summarize. The length of the diary is short. I remember that the day before, he wrote 2 1 book for more than five years.
After breakfast and cleaning the house, 10 began to learn English and read newspapers and periodicals until the afternoon 1 New Concept English is his English textbook.
At night 1, Wang Dakang will go out for an hour by bike. "It's about 14 km." After going home for lunch, Wang Dakang will enter another room at 4 pm and start writing calligraphy. After an hour of calligraphy practice, music time began. "The piano and accordion come every other day. My granddaughter will come on Friday, and I have to teach her." These two musical instruments were learned by Wang Dakang at Leshan Teachers College.
From 7: 00 pm, Wang Dakang watched TV and had dinner, then rested around 9: 50 until 4: 30 the next morning. "
Wang Dakang strictly abides by the above timetable and cannot be shaken. In order to adjust the boring life and increase the interest of life, the living room became his music studio, because the piano was there. The accordion is easy to move, so he plays it in the yard and can skillfully play songs such as "The Girl in Dabancheng" and "Dedication of Love".
Practicing calligraphy is also his hobby, and it is also the feeling of pottery. His studio is in another room, and books such as "The Monument of Celebrating Trees in Tangyan Town" which he visited recently are piled up on the table in the room.
Many friends who are almost or even younger than him advised him: "You are not young, stop tossing around, have tea and chat together and enjoy your retirement."
Wang Dakang said, "I am over eighty years old. If you don't learn, you will fall behind. " He has an anxious expression on his face. "It's a pity that such a good traditional culture will leave if you don't understand it."
Life is long, you know it's long. Only when you are never too old to learn, will you not fall behind and keep up with the times. Wang Dakang has always maintained a strong thirst for knowledge, is full of curiosity about new things and new fields, has a childlike innocence, and keeps moving forward on the road of pursuing knowledge. This studious spirit is worth learning from our young people.
Everyone has their own dreams. Learn from Grandpa Wang Dakang, adjust your mentality, keep learning, keep fighting and concentrate. No matter how ambitious your dream is, it can come true!
