What are some things that you have worked hard on for many years but all your efforts were abandoned in an instant?

I have never had the experience of working hard for many years, only to have all my efforts come to naught in an instant, but a friend of mine, Ace, did such a thing.

Ais is my classmate. We have known each other since elementary school, and we were still together in junior high school. After we entered high school, we went to different key middle schools, and the contact gradually became less and less.

Ace is a person who studies very hard. When he was in elementary school, his aunt was still a teacher in our school, so the teacher had stricter requirements on him. In order to help him become a talent quickly, he would often give him extra tutoring and tutor him in some knowledge that was not taught in class. Follow the content. Under such circumstances, his performance has always been the best in our class. Of course, we can also see the hard work he has put in.

He is the kind of kid who is very talented, has good resources, and works very hard. While we were still playing in the mud, he was working on a set of test questions. When we went to the river to catch fish and shrimps, he was still reading...

Such a child has always been a good role model for learning, and we admire him very much.

His grades were very stable and he continued to advance to high school.

Although our two schools are not in the same school, the school management model is very similar. We must stay at the school from Monday to Friday, and we can go home to live on weekends. So sometimes when I get home, several of our old classmates will meet up to eat and chat together...

When I learned that his family had undergone tremendous changes, it was my family who told me on the phone. . I was still in school at that time. My mother said that Ace's mother had cancer. She had an emergency attack a few days ago and was admitted to the hospital.

At that time, I was just before the college entrance examination, so my mother mainly wanted to remind me to pay attention to my studies so that I can perform well during the exam and not to get sick...

And He is the only child in the Ace family. I don't know if his parents have told him about this matter... It's not easy for me to ask him and arouse his mood.

But later, I found out that Ace’s mother didn’t want her son to know, but Ace himself was very sensitive and noticed something was wrong, so he went to question his grandmother, and then After learning that my mother was seriously ill, I asked for leave from school to go to the hospital to see my mother. When his mother was seriously ill and might pass away at any time, he did not continue to prepare for the college entrance examination in school. Instead, he chose to leave the campus and go to the ward to protect his mother and accompany her through the last journey of her life.

When I took the college entrance examination later, because I was busy taking care of my mother during that time and had no time to study, my grades were not ideal.

It can be said that this is a real example of working hard for many years but giving up in an instant.

However, Ace has never regretted it.

After knowing the results, he repeated his studies for another year and was finally admitted to Sun Yat-sen University with excellent results...
