The 45-year-old candidate who failed in the exam for three consecutive years once again embarked on the road of art examination.

Among the many young faces at the entrance of the examination room, 45-year-old Wang Baofeng (holding the admission ticket in his right hand) stands out.

In order to realize his dream when he was young, Wang Baofeng, who has entered middle age, returned to painting brush and joined the art examination army after leaving school for many years. Wang Baofeng's changes and decisions are always unexpected to the people around him. Since he served as a deputy regiment commander in the army, he was rewarded for developing computer software and chose his own career to start a company when the army changed jobs. "This time is definitely no problem!" On the 6th, at the age of 45, he stepped into the examination room of the Central Academy of Fine Arts for the fourth time and continued to advance to the ideal stage.

At around 2: 4016th, Wang Baofeng walked out of the examination room and greeted the reporter with a relaxed face. This is his fourth year to take an art test in Qingdao, Shandong Province.

Wang Baofeng is a demobilized soldier in Binzhou, Shandong Province. He was influenced by comic books when he was a child. He likes painting since he was a child. His desk and the blank space of books are filled with his "works", and he was 17 years old when he first came into contact with formal painting. In Qufu Teachers College, an art student took him to visit the school studio, which was still a soldier at that time, and watched a dozen students draw patterns with lines on drawing paper. Wang Baofeng was moved.

"In order to improve my painting level, they gave me a charcoal pen and asked me to go to the railway station and sketch in the park." From then on, Wang Baofeng often ran to the railway station to sketch. After painting intermittently for more than 20 years, Wang Baofeng never knew his level. In 2008, under his influence, the son of senior one also took an art test, so Wang Baofeng signed up to explore for his son and took this opportunity to test his level. I didn't expect the professional course to take the second place in the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Wang Baofeng's confidence increased greatly, and he decided to go back to school to repeat the culture class and sprint for the college entrance examination (Weibo).

"The software he developed is very famous in Binzhou, with computer training classes and his own company. People in their 40 s suddenly put down their business and ran to high school to compete with a group of teenagers. " Looking at this older student, Cai, the head teacher of Binzhou No.2 Middle School, didn't understand. He and many teachers thought that he was just a whim, but Wang Baofeng's efforts completely changed their views.

The review process of culture class is far from as simple as Wang Baofeng thought. Cai remembers that in 2009, the college entrance examination scored more than 400 points, and more than 60 students in the class ranked fifth, but only got 40 points in English (BBS). "It is really difficult for more than 40 people to master a large number of college entrance examination English words, but the art colleges such as the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the China Academy of Fine Arts that he wants to apply for require that English must reach 70 points."

Last year, although Wang Baofeng got the fine arts certificate from China Academy of Fine Arts, she finally missed it because of her limited English performance. In order to pass this English test, Wang Baofeng entered Jinan New Oriental to study English from last September until the eve of the art test.

"In addition to applying for Gome and Yangmei this year, I also applied for Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts, sichuan fine arts institute, Xi 'an Academy of Fine Arts and China Communication University (Weibo). I must go to college this year. "After finishing the exam at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Wang Baofeng plans to drive back to Binzhou on the morning of the 7 th." After the art test, you should go back to Binzhou No.2 Middle School to review the culture class immediately, and strive for a total score of not less than 486 last year. "(Yuan Feifei Yang Ning)
