What happened to the "Five Stripes Boy" and the "Disdainful Brother" back then?

"Thirty years to the west of the river, thirty years to the east of the river." Feng Shui changes, and temporary glory does not mean eternal glory. As time goes by, it is clear whether he is a genius or a mediocre person. The changes in Hedong and Hexi are hidden in it.

The same is true for people. A person cannot predict future development just by looking at the current situation. A person can become better and better through education. Some parents are obsessed with "winning at the starting line" and do not pay attention to future education. As a result, they let others catch up and surpass their own children. It is really a waste of time.

At that time, the "Five Stripes Boy" and "Disdainful Brother" were popular on the Internet. One looked like a veteran cadre, looking very energetic and dignified, while the other did not look as good as the former. Somewhat rustic. Everyone thought that the "five-striped boy" would eventually become a great talent, but they didn't expect that it would be the "disdainful younger brother" who would become the real talent.

So, why did the promising "five-striped boy" end up disappearing from the crowd and studying in a private school? And why was the neglected "disdainful brother" able to get into Harvard and study abroad?

1. The boy who unexpectedly became famous

Many years ago, pictures like this were circulated on the Internet and quickly became popular on the Internet. In the picture, there is a young man wearing a blue coat and a brand new red scarf around his neck. The most noticeable thing is the "five stripes" on his arm. This means he is a Young Pioneer captain. At this time, he was sitting upright and listening to the teacher's lecture carefully.

Behind him was a young man in a gray shirt, looking at the young man with the "five stripes" on his arm with disdain. The sharp contrast in expressions made netizens laugh and couldn't help but compare the two children, which resulted in many funny emoticons. They called the former "the boy with five stripes" and the latter "the disdainful brother."

The name of the "Five Stripes Boy" is Huang Yibo. He has been what people call "other people's children" since he was a child. It is said that their family attaches great importance to Huang Yibo's education. When he was two years old, he was already paying attention to "Xinwen Lianbo" and when he was seven years old, he read newspapers. I have been closely connected with the red spirit since I was a child.

In addition, Huang Yibo also received a good education in Chinese studies. He is very decent and polite in his manners and conversation. He is elegant and easy-going when interacting with others, and often helps others. What's even more rare is that when he was in elementary school, he had excellent academic performance and all-round development. He once won the reputation of "Top Ten Teenagers in the Country".

It is precisely because of these that he became the famous captain of the Young Pioneers in elementary school, and the school gave him the "Five Stripes"! It is two levels higher than the so-called "three stripes".

After becoming popular, Huang Yibo was calm and calm, not arrogant or arrogant in the face of his popularity, and answered fluently with the media who came to interview him. It is really admirable that a primary school student who is only seven or eight years old has such eloquence. Huang Yibo was also regarded as a role model by many parents back then. At this time, he was in the limelight.

The TV station never expected that the interview was originally for Huang Yibo, but the little boy next to him was accidentally photographed. The name of this disdainful child is Sun Tong. In a corner of the interview video, he looked at Huang Yibo with disdain, his expression and expression were very funny, and he became famous on the Internet.

More than ten years have passed since the interview, and netizens have gradually forgotten these two people. During this time, both men have grown up and started going to college. But the current state of the two of them surprised everyone.

After more than ten years of change, the two people have changed a lot

The "five-bar boy" Huang Yibo finally got admitted to Wuhan College, an ordinary private university, but the "disdainful brother" actually got admitted Harvard, study abroad. Two people went to college, one in the sky and the other on the ground. The difference between the clouds and mud is beyond everyone's imagination. Why was Huang Yibo, who was excellent in elementary school, ultimately unable to compare with the disdainful Sun Tong?

Huang Yibo has been following national news since he was a child, and has often contributed articles to news newspapers. At a young age, he has published more than 100 articles in newspapers and magazines. He participates in volunteer activities on a daily basis, visiting the elderly in nursing homes, volunteering in hospitals, and telling stories to children in orphanages. At a young age, he has accumulated rich volunteer experience, which has provided him with a lot of help in winning outstanding students. His good grades and many good deeds make him an "outstanding cadre" and "three good students" every year.

But his excellent performance in elementary school made him feel good about himself, and his heart began to swell. In junior high school, he was busy with school affairs and interpersonal relationships, and did not study well. He often did not study in order to be a volunteer. As a result, his grades in junior high school plummeted. Although it was not particularly bad, it was considered average among the crowd.

When he entered high school, Huang Yibo seemed not to realize that there was something wrong with his studies. He still insisted on his own policy and focused on handling school affairs while neglecting his studies. He did his duty as a cadre, but failed to do his duty as a student.

My grades, which were not particularly good at first, became worse and worse in high school. The talented Huang Yibo, as Shang Zhongyong said, is really just like ordinary people. He still didn't reflect on it and failed to get good grades until his senior year in high school.

Soon, his attitude towards learning got him into trouble.

Huang Yibo applied for Wuhan University's independent enrollment. The interviewer favored him, especially after seeing his series of resumes. Through his independent examination qualifications, as long as he passed the first-tier exam with 40 points or above, he could study at Wuhan University Marxist School. School of Socialism.

However, the college entrance examination results have been released. Huang Yibo's score was actually only 477 points, which was not even close to the first line. There was no way to go to Wuhan University, so I had to go to Wuhan College, an ordinary third-level school, to major in English.

Looking at Sun Tong, although he was not outstanding all the way, he eventually became a top student and successfully studied abroad. Why did the two of them change so much? Let’s review Sun Tong’s experience.

3. The reality gap is worth pondering

Although Sun Tong’s performance in elementary school was average, he developed good study habits under the supervision of his parents and learned and worked in a down-to-earth manner. Brilliant, but solid.

From elementary school to junior high school and then to high school, Sun Tong has always adhered to the purpose of "learning first", giving up all activities to learning. At the same time, he cultivates interests and hobbies in addition to studying, and focuses his life on important things. place. He does not care about the so-called class cadres, club members, etc. In his opinion, only doing a good job in study is the right way.

Huangtian paid off. He performed well in the college entrance examination and was admitted to Huazhong Agricultural University. After entering college, all his previous accumulation turned into nutrients in the university. Because of his outstanding abilities and excellent studies, he is active in various club activities, participated in many competitions, and won many awards. In the eyes of his classmates and teachers, he has become a college champion!

With outstanding performance and grades, he successfully passed the rigorous Harvard examination and prepared to enter Harvard University for further study. He relied on his unwillingness to admit defeat and down-to-earth learning to achieve his counterattack and successfully achieve his goals.

Looking back on the experiences of these two people, as the old saying goes, things take turns. Huang Yibo, who was dazzling when he was a child, went to Wuhan College when he grew up. On the contrary, Sun Tong, who had been quiet since childhood, relied on his own diligence and achieved good results, and finally counterattacked Harvard. The key to the gap behind this is the attitude of the two people towards learning.

"The story of hurting Zhongyong" is well known to everyone, but it is still being played out in the course of history. Even if you have the best talent, it may be buried and turn from a talent to an ordinary person. And if ordinary people rely on diligence and do well in a down-to-earth manner, then we also have the opportunity to transform from ordinary people into talents!

Hopefully we can learn from this experience. If you only rely on temporary brilliance and ignore the importance of learning, you will one day be surpassed by those who work harder. The truth is simple, but very practical. Things are unpredictable, so parents should not just encourage their children, but should cultivate good study habits in their children during their critical period. Just like Huang Yibo once attracted the attention of the world, but now, his past achievements have become smoke and have been dissipated by the passage of time.
