From Beijing to the north, drive on the expressway for two hours, get off the expressway and drive 10 km to a narrow country road, then walk for half an hour. What you see in front of you is a paradise with charming scenery in the mountains.
Here, a pair of Peking University students live in seclusion. Ph.D. is Wang Qingsong, who graduated from the Department of National Politics of Peking University in Grade 79 and from the Department of Law of Peking University in Grade 83. His wife Zhang Mei is an English teacher in Peking University. Twenty years ago, in order to breathe fresh air, they quit all their jobs and lived in seclusion here. Twenty years have passed. What happened to them?
First, Peking University Xueba Wang Qingsong
Wang Qingsong is a native of Xin 'an County, Luoyang City, Henan Province, and comes from a peasant family. Although his family is poor, his parents still scrimp and save for his school. Wang Qingsong studies hard and has a good memory. She can put 500 phone numbers in the right place every day. With his amazing memory, he was admitted to the Secret Service.
After the college entrance examination resumed, Wang Qingsong was admitted to the Law Department of Peking University.
It is also the cultivation of confidential cadres that makes his study at Peking University easy. Later, he applied for a postgraduate degree in law. Because of his excellent grades, he stayed in school as a teacher as soon as he graduated.
Second, an important turning point in life: career success and love gains.
Because Wang Qingsong studied martial arts since he was a child, he loved reading Zhuangzi after he went to Peking University. 1985, a "health-keeping fever" has arisen. He borrowed his own advantages and began to teach health preservation at Peking University.
Soon, Wang Qingsong became famous for "keeping in good health", and wealth followed. Later, the school allowed him to set up a week-long health class outside to generate income for the department, and each person charged 10 yuan. It didn't take long for the health class to recruit many students
Among them, Zhang Mei just graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University and was one of the students who came to attend the health class at that time. He is 12 years younger than Wang Qingsong. But Wang Qingsong caught a glimpse of her in the crowd and called her "good temperament". After a period of contact, two men and women established a love relationship.
Third, Cowper encountered obstacles and retreated to the mountains.
However, the weather is unpredictable. From 65438 to 0990, Wang Qingsong's school situation was much worse than before. At that time, I applied for a Ph.D. in philosophy, and even though I was the first in all subjects and the first in total score, I was rejected by the school. The following year, he was transferred to the legal department, and he still is. Once it was an accident, twice it was the same. Maybe someone did it on purpose. He was very excited: "The road is as wide as the blue sky, but there is no way out in front of me."
At that time, Wang Qingsong had married Zhang Mei. The same is true of the wife's experience. The school has been evaluating the professional title for five years, and she has never been a lecturer.
The disheartened couple spoke their minds and tacitly felt that "there is no place to live here, so they decided to retire from the mountains and live an isolated life."
Although they had the idea of seclusion, it took them six years to go from "civilization" to "wildness". 1994, he moved to his father-in-law's old house, located in the mountainous area near the junction of Beijing and Hebei, and rented 10 mu of land. However, it is still very tiring to go back and forth by bus for more than five hours in class at Peking University. 1998, my wife felt that the cultivated land was neglected and resolutely resigned. Subsequently, in 2000, he also resigned from Peking University, contracted 2500 mu of barren hills, and was isolated from the world.
Fourth, what is the status quo?
In fact, Wang Qingsong and his wife chose to live in seclusion in the mountains, and their families were very opposed to it, and even broke off relations. Neighbors asked where the children had gone, and the family members all said "abroad". But even so, Wang Qingsong and his wife followed their hearts and decided to live in seclusion in the mountains.
They came to the mountain, built a house in a few days, and can live after simple reorganization. Later, they bought farm tools, reclaimed 40 mu of cultivated land and planted corn, sorghum, millet, vegetables and fruit trees. Then a stone mill was installed and a group of cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks were raised, forming a pure natural ecological chain.
Why did you choose to retire to the mountains? Zhang Mei said: "This is because children want to create a pollution-free growth environment for their children."
They live in the mountains, breathe fresh air every day, eat their own food, farm in the morning and rest at sunset, which has a sense of freshness.
But as their son grew up day by day, they began to worry about his education. Although they are all teachers of Peking University, their sons have the right to choose education, and there is still a long way to go.
20 1 1 In mid-April, for the sake of his son's future development, Wang Qingsong decided to return to the society, learn Internet knowledge, and sell the pollution-free food planted in the mountains with the help of his classmates.
There is another reason, which is very realistic. 1 1 year, they spent nearly 3.5 million yuan. To maintain the normal operation of mountainous areas, they need to employ at least 10 farmers and workers every year, and the expenses are 250,000-300,000 yuan. If they don't find a way out, it will be difficult to maintain. Wang Qingsong said: "This return is also to continue the life of Peach Blossom Spring in the future."
Verb (abbreviation of verb) conclusion
"Picking chrysanthemums under the hedge, leisurely see Nanshan. The mountains are getting better and better, and the birds are back. "
After reading the seclusion of Wang Qingsong and his wife Zhang Mei, some people don't understand that two teachers in Peking University are better than the mountains.
It is understood that Wang Qingsong only spent 200,000 yuan to buy 2,500 mu of forest with a lease term of 50 years. It's only 20 years now, and there are still 30 years left. Relying on today's internet, it looks like a golden mountain. This is an unexpected gain that they never dreamed of. Of course, this is just a secular view.
The seclusion of Wang Qingsong and his wife still makes many people envy and yearn for it. Because they can put aside all desires, fame and fortune and troubles to pursue the true meaning of life, which is a kind of happiness in itself! What do you think of their stories?
