For many people, Peking University is a dream school. Indeed, as one of the top ten universities in China, Peking University has really attracted the attention of many students. Today, however, the character to be introduced resigned as a teacher of Peking University and lived in seclusion with his wife for 1 1 year. This is Wang Qingsong. This incident is very surprising. What made him give up the dream school of millions of people and resolutely hide in the mountains?
main body
Wang Qingsong was born in Henan Province, China. With his hard work and diligence, he was admitted to Peking University. Before he was admitted to Peking University, he was a confidential cadre in Xinyang. It is worth mentioning that the requirements of confidential cadres are very strict. After such strict training, Wang Qingsong can easily cope with his study and life in Peking University. In fact, before applying for Peking University, he hesitated to choose a major. However, in a joke played by a colleague, he suddenly realized that he finally chose national politics. However, after completing his undergraduate studies, Wang Qingsong found it easier for students majoring in law to find suitable jobs, so he changed the subject, applied for graduate students in law department, and successfully obtained the qualification of staying in school to teach.
From 65438 to 0985, there was a "health-keeping fever" all over the country, and Wang Qingsong was very interested in it. It turns out that there is a White Horse Temple in his hometown. Wang Qingsong practiced martial arts in it since he was a child. During his college years, he fell in love with Zhuangzi's attitude towards life. He found books about Laozi and Zhuangzi in the library and read them with relish. Therefore, after the popularity of health care fever, Wang Qing relaxed the health care course. The law department found that his course had a great influence, so it offered him a health course, and the course fee was set at 10 yuan. It is worth mentioning that Wang Qingsong not only gained fame and fortune by virtue of his health class, but also met his wife here.
It turned out that his wife, Zhang Mei, was also a student, and came to watch the fun in the health class. Wang Qingsong said that he saw Zhang Mei in the crowd at a glance and thought that Zhang Mei's temperament was particularly good. Later, the two confided in each other and successfully entered the marriage hall. However, after 1990, life in Wang Qingsong suffered a great blow. It turned out that he applied for a doctorate in philosophy and law successively. Although he achieved excellent results, he was not admitted. At that time, Wang Qingsong consulted his wife and wanted to go to the suburbs to enjoy the fresh air. It was for this reason that they began to live in seclusion in the mountains.
1994, they moved to a mountainous area at the junction of Hebei and Beijing and rented ten acres of land. This place is far from the city, but they still need to get to Peking University every day, and they need to go to work by bus for more than five hours every time, which makes them exhausted. 1998, Zhang Mei decided to resign and concentrate on managing cultivated land in mountainous areas. In 2000, Wang Qingsong also chose to resign as a teacher of Peking University and contracted all 2,500 mu of barren hills, thus living in seclusion in Taoyuan.
Their behavior has not been recognized by the world, and people in the village think it is ridiculous for Peking University teachers to give up their jobs to farm. In order not to be disturbed by the world, the two went deep into the mountains. On the reclaimed wasteland, Wang Qingsong planted corn, millet, cabbage, and some apple trees and peach trees. Later, the two also raised livestock such as pigs, chickens and goats. In this way, the two lived a self-sufficient pastoral life.
It is worth mentioning that contracting wasteland and hiring workers to build this rural life cost Wang Qingsong and Zhang Mei a lot of savings. In more than ten years of rural life, the two spent 3.5 million. However, in the process of working with workers, he and his wife feel unprecedented enrichment and happiness. Zhang Mei also mentioned that although they had the idea of seclusion before, they always lacked the push to make up their minds, and this push came from their children. They believe that children should enjoy a pollution-free natural growth environment. 20 1 1 year, their 7-year-old son often calls himself "goat commander" among the sheep, and then runs carefree in the fields.
However, a family of three decided to return to social life in April of 20 1 1, because they thought their son should be in contact with society, and their rural life was too expensive and needed more income support. As mentioned earlier, they spent 3.5 million yuan to build an idyllic life, but now their manor is not large, and at least 10 farm workers are needed to take care of it, which is also a big expense. During their seclusion in 1 1 year, the two of them lived beyond their means only by Zhang Mei's remuneration for compiling textbooks and teaching GRE.
label
Have to say, Wang Qingsong and his wife can make a decision to live in seclusion in the mountains, which makes people feel very admired. After all, modern society does provide a lot of convenience for people, and it is also their brave attempt to resolutely abandon convenience and return to nature.
