The parents were deeply touched when their son was admitted to the college entrance examination.

In the past two days, a letter from Ningbo's father to his son who is about to go to Peking University has gone viral in the WeChat circle of friends!

This simple and plain letter from home touched countless netizens, and some netizens shouted: "Look at crying!"

In this letter, netizens saw an image of a sensible, independent child with a clear grasp of the direction of life, and also saw the deep fatherly love behind the understanding, tolerance, respect and support of the child's choice. Many people even reflect on whether their education for their children is appropriate.

This morning, the reporter interviewed Chen Xiaodong, the author of this letter and the director and chief operating officer of Zhejiang Yangfei International Tourism Group Co., Ltd.

Chen Xiaodong introduced that writing this letter from home is actually to complete the homework assigned by Peking University to parents. "Peking University requires new parents to write a letter to their children: on the one hand, they record their children's growth process, on the other hand, they want to share their parenting experience with their parents." This is the first time that Chen Xiaodong has written to his son, revealing his feelings as a father. "Since you want to write, write well."

After writing it at home, Chen Xiaodong casually posted it in a circle of friends. Unexpectedly, it soon spread in the WeChat circle of friends. "This is not my intention, completely out of my expectation, a little out of control ..."

My son was admitted to the chemistry department of Peking University as he wished. As a father, the stone in Chen Xiaodong's heart also fell to the ground. He said that at the moment he made the decision to support his son, he was actually ready to bear the failure with his son.

Be prepared. "My son has his own rational choice. We will try to force him to do something against his will, and the result may not be good. Besides, even if I fail, it's a rare life experience. It's no big deal.

Yes "For him, his son has dreams and actions, which is a rare human quality.

My son was admitted to Peking University, and his grades were of course too good to say. But Chen Xiaodong doesn't actually recognize the popular concept of "achievement first". He feels that it is far more important for children to develop a good character, a healthy body and their own hobbies. "This is the foundation for children to stand on the society in the future!"

The following is the full text of the letter:

To my children:

July 24th, 20 15, this is a day you will always remember: all your sweat and efforts for your dream have borne fruitful fruits on this day-the admission notice from Peking University, the highest institution in China.

Dad once told you that a person's life is divided into childhood, adolescence, youth, middle age and old age. This society is pyramid-shaped. At different stages of life, there will be various steps in front of you.

You go forward bravely, conquer constantly, and prove yourself extraordinary and excellent. Today, you have reached the most important step in your childhood, and few people have reached this step. You have reason to be proud of yourself.

Congratulations, son.

Dad, what makes you most proud and gratified is not that you have been admitted to Peking University, but your experience of being admitted to Peking University.

You have shown great intelligence and self-discipline since you were a child: your parents have let you sleep alone since you were two and a half years old, and you always fold the quilt neatly when you get up every day; From the first grade of primary school, you will never go until you finish your homework.

Play; Your Olympic math tutor said that no matter how difficult the problem is, you can understand it immediately with a little bit; Your amateur table tennis coach told your mother to stop studying and practice professionally with him. You are a rare good seed. Fifth grade in primary school

You got the highest piano 10 grade; Your high school class teacher's evaluation of you is-super self-study ability. ...

When you were growing up, mom and dad never had to worry about your study, because you were always among the best. Don't worry about your fun and troubles, because you have always been very sensible and disciplined. In this way, it has been smooth to the third year of your Jiaochuan Academy: that year, you liked chemistry.

In the first year and a half after being sent to Zhenhai Middle School, everything went smoothly, except that your comprehensive score has been hovering between 30 and 80 in the whole grade, and you have been watching many chemistry majors at ordinary times.

Books. During several chats, you said that all universities in China only value Peking University, because the School of Chemistry of Peking University is awesome. At that time, we all laughed it off as children's words, because our hearts were all yours.

Looking forward to entering Fudan jiaotong university, Peking university is very successful? Never thought about it. One day in February, 20 14, in the second half of senior two, you said that you decided to take the road of competition and must enter Peking University. Look at your mother.

Mencius didn't sleep well for three days and nights. Your grandparents were in a hurry, and your class teacher came to see us.

Everyone's view is that if you take the road of competition and enter Peking University, the possibility of success is only1%; Once it fails, not to mention Fudan Jiaotong University, it is estimated that it is dangerous to even enter Zhejiang University. Everyone wants you to give up and settle down.

Be admitted by Fudan Jiaotong University or Zhejiang University. But you always stick to your guns and refuse to compromise. A good boy who used to be obedient seems to have become a rebel overnight. Finally, the head teacher, your mother and your grandparents asked me to talk with you.

Time.

That day in the car, we talked for more than an hour. When I heard you say that sentence in tears, I decided to stand on your side: "I like chemistry, I like Peking University, and I know the pressure I am under. If I fail, I will not regret it. After all, I tried! Why don't you support me? "

Although I finally persuaded my grandparents and your mother, and signed the letter from the head teacher to bear all the consequences, in my heart, you are like going to play a Tom Cruise movie called Mission Impossible. ...

Zhenhai Middle School's information and math competitions are at the top level in the country, and its physics is also relatively strong. In the chemistry competition, 10, there has never been a player above the provincial team level in the town for many years, while several famous schools in the province, such as Hanger No.2 Middle School, Middle School and Wenzhou Middle School, have superior conditions and outstanding teachers.

As the first step, you must win the first prize in the national preliminaries at the end of August before you are eligible to participate in the provincial team trials in 10; Then you must get 14 before the provincial team tryouts to enter the provincial team; along with

One careless step, all previous efforts are wasted; Even if you can get into the provincial team, there are still national competitions waiting for you ... and to achieve such results, you can't have a little time to do normal Chinese, math, English and so on.

The study of disciplines.

In this context, you started your competition: your mother bought you countless chemistry competition books according to your requirements, but you gave up all kinds of extracurricular books, original English movies, quiz games in the Three Kingdoms and so on. A person plunges into your chemistry world day and night. ...

In the next six months, as we expected, your overall score dropped from the top 30 in the whole grade to the bottom 200 ... In that six months, besides cooking and sending you clothes, it was wide.

Your mother rarely sees a comforting smile on her face; Grandparents still care about you as always, but they are always preoccupied; You become silent. Going home on weekends, I have rarely played since junior high school.

After that, I hardly had time to touch the piano. ...

Dad knows that you are venting your pressure. Dad has been talking to you about relaxing current affairs, sports, movies and other topics, never mentioning your study, and secretly telling mom not to mention it ... it's up to you.

Next, you have also set off on the road; We can't help you in your study at all. The only thing we can do is to try our best to reduce your pressure, so that you can go into battle as lightly as possible and get the best results. Since respect

Give up your choice, even if it fails, as you said, we will accept it.

Five months later, you signed up for the 9-day summer chemistry summer camp of Peking University at your own expense (after you came back, you described the chemistry laboratory of Peking University as "palace class"). You did well in an exam.

As a result, the teacher of Peking University made a first impression on you. Then, on August 3 1 day, your first level "preliminary contest of national chemistry competition" was held in Hangzhou as scheduled. I can't believe you got the 20th place in the province, won the first prize, and won the provincial team selection.

Qualification for testing; What's even more incredible is that after the exam, Peking University Admissions Office immediately signed an agreement with you: the college entrance examination score was reduced by 60 points!

At that moment, all of us were shocked, and we all knew what 60 points meant. It's like clearing the dark clouds and seeing the sunshine at once! After I came back, the teacher in the town talked to me again. I hope you can stop here.

Then go back and make up the scores in all subjects. With your qualifications, hard work in September, and a 60-point advantage, there is great hope of entering Peking University. If you further enter the provincial team or even participate in the national competition, once you lose,

If you fail in the exam, it will be too late to go back and make up lessons, and the advantage of 60 points is likely to be wiped out. I came back to discuss with your mother and grandparents, and they also thought what the teacher said was reasonable. Then I came to see you and wanted to hear about you.

This decision.

Your original words are fresh in my father's memory: "The teacher of Peking University gave me 60 points, I hope I can make persistent efforts and encourage me to strive for better competition results;" If I quit, it's cheating, just

Disappointing. Now that I have decided to take this road, I will definitely go to the end! This time, the family did not object. After the school teacher knew our decision, it was still the same sentence: if you decide, the consequences will be yours.

No. I said to him: I respect my son's decision. Arrow, once again on the string. ...

10 June 16, the second level of "provincial team trials" came again ... you once again surprised people with your strength: the eighth in the province! Join the provincial team! Dad has always been amazed at your self-study ability: this

How on earth did you teach yourself the super-difficult competition? ) Then at the end of June 1 1, you go to Jilin to participate in the national finals. In this elite contest, your subject held you back and finally got what you wanted.

Silver medal, the teacher of Peking University Admissions Office changed the agreement with you again: the college entrance examination score was reduced to one line admission! Finally, one of your feet entered Peking University! Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, everyone was in high spirits and grandma was tall.

Xing has cooked a big table of your favorite dishes ... the road to competition has come to an end.

It should have been a perfect ending, but the news you brought back from Jilin once again made everyone's mood plummet: the teacher of Peking University said that you can enter Peking University if you get into one line, but the specific major depends on your college entrance examination results. Implication: I didn't get a high score in the college entrance examination, so I probably won't be admitted to the School of Chemistry. I know Peking University is the only one for you, because Peking University Institute of Chemistry.

Then I contacted the teacher of the Admissions Office of Peking University, asked for the phone number of Dean Pei of the School of Chemistry, and sent a message asking about it. Dean Pei immediately replied to me, took pains to answer several questions and confirmed them.

This news. At this time, it is already 65438+February, only half a year away from the college entrance examination. Zhenhai Middle School has gathered the best students in the province. In the previous 1 1 month, all the students tried to be the last.

Sprint, your overall ranking has dropped badly ... This time, without saying a word, you quietly put away your competition books, took out your math, Chinese and English books, and started your first and last Mishima Pass.

short-distance run ...

In the last six months, you began not to go home on weekends; Going out for dinner during the Spring Festival is also holding a book in your hand and reading it against time. You canceled all your spare time activities ... you talk less and talk more.

Bury your head ... your mother and I visit you in Zhenhai every weekend, and we still talk about other topics with you, almost never mentioning your study. In all kinds of school exams in the past six months, your ranking has risen steadily; Cubic module

You will do better in every college entrance examination; But how many points do you have to take to evolve into a junior college? No one knows ... June 7, the first day of the college entrance examination, before entering the examination room, you entered the primary school entrance examination and left the students. Dad was as good as before.

Just like the senior high school entrance examination, I give you a high five: "Believe in yourself, you are the best!" " "

After the college entrance examination, I have never asked you how to evaluate your score: what is done is done, let nature take its course, and I am ready to accept the worst result. On June 22, the college entrance examination scores were announced, and your mother was in the evening.

Hold the IPAD in your hand early, you sit in front of the computer early, always searching for your score; The scores of other students were announced one after another, and yours didn't respond ... until 9: 30 in the evening, the scores finally came-

732 points! Everything is frozen at this moment.

As a teenager, it is not too difficult to have your own dreams. The hard part is that you set high and far dreams for yourself, but you can always believe in yourself and put yourself under great pressure.

Dream becomes plan, plan becomes action, devote yourself wholeheartedly, go all out to fight for it, and finally prove yourself. This is the place where Dad makes you proudest, and it is also your biggest character strengths. you

Hand over a most wonderful answer sheet for your youth! I hope you can always keep this initial intention of never giving up and always making progress!

Growing up, my father never put forward any requirements for your study or grades, but he has been tirelessly instilling two things in you: morality and exercise. The only time dad was angry because you slapped the table was when you were in the second grade of primary school. At that time, you were angry and insulted your grandmother.

Children, please remember: integrity, honesty, tolerance, courage, correct values and outlook on life, plus abundant energy and healthy body, will be the foundation of your life; Without these two articles, nothing can be said, even if you graduated from Peking University.

When you enter Peking University, it is also your adult time. From now on, you will enter the golden stage of life-youth, and a better picture of life will be unfolded in front of you. I believe that too. Not much.

After a long time, your knowledge, knowledge, thinking and ideas will soon surpass your father. So, maybe the last thing Dad can teach you is to hope that in your golden age, you can plant these four seeds in your heart:

Gratitude: I have told you that your own efforts certainly account for a very important proportion, and you can be admitted to Peking University, but please don't forget your aunt, who took you to kindergarten from your birth and took good care of you when you were in the third year of high school.

Grandma who raised you to 178 weight 140 in A Jin, all the teachers who worked hard for you from kindergarten to high school, grandparents and mothers who made selfless contributions to you since childhood ... without them,

You will be nothing. Especially your mother, you know, your mother has paid a hundred times more perseverance and hard work than your father to raise you; Although the teachers in the town disagree with your wishes several times, their goal is to make you the best.

Grasp the best universities; Without the last test given by the teacher of Peking University, how can I achieve my excellent academic balance? In your long life, you will meet many people who help you in different ways.

Your people, even your future opponents, will be grateful-because his presence will make you stronger. Don't underestimate yourself, it will cost you everything. Only gratitude will make your life happy.

Full, calm and powerful.

Second, acceptance: people are different and varied. I always believe that anyone, if it seems that he can't compare with you, is always better than you in some way, not to mention someone who is better than you. Alone, he's in line.

While reprimanding many people or things, he must also restrain himself. Look at the advantages of others, look at your own shortcomings, and be tolerant. Human wisdom has pushed countless fields to a very high level, such as

If you want to advance to a higher and further shore on this basis, it is not you alone, but a "team", and the concept of this "team" is very broad, and I believe you can understand it. Dad wants you to do it forever.

A "sun" that illuminates others, not a "candle" that is lit by people.

Third, persistence: Just like the road you take, others look bitter and tired, but you can go all the way-persistence comes from faith and love. "Very bitter? Are you tired? That's right. Comfort is reserved for

Dead man's. ""No matter what kind of adversity you are in, always listen to your inner call. "The words of Ma Yun and Jobs tell us that there are many smart people in the world, but many smart people are mediocre and only strive for self-improvement.

Endless spirit, indomitable faith and almost crazy love can make classics and greatness. "Without accumulation, we can't go to Wan Li Road". You should believe that every challenge, every bump and even every thorn will be your future life.

The ladder of success; Whenever you struggle the most, it is also the time when you are closest to success; Many people fell down at this moment. As long as you can stick to 100 meters, the door to success will suddenly open to you.

Fourth, success: success can be measured by money, but it can never be measured by money alone. If you must take a standard to describe success, it is your contribution to society. Whether you do scientific research in the future, or

Community or business, creating greater value for society, seeking a better life for mankind and showing a better picture for the world will be your life goal. We don't want to go down in history, we don't want to be rich, as long as

You can create a new world in your field that will be praised by later generations. There is no doubt that you are a great success.

It's hard to do this. Many dads don't do enough. But I believe that your achievements as a teenager have far surpassed your father's, and your future will be even more exciting. No matter how much you have done and where you have been, as long as you have a dream and go forward bravely, your world will be dazzling and colorful! A person's life is only wonderful! You will always be the greatest pride of mom and dad in this life!

20 15 on the evening of August 24th.
