[Explanation] I was a student 38 years ago and a high school physics teacher for 38 years. Now, 60-year-old Wang Yuepeng has become a student again in the first year after retirement.

In August 2020, Wang Yuepeng received the letter of admission and officially became a graduate student of the Law School of Lanzhou University.

  Recently, 60-year-old Wang Yuepeng was quite conspicuous in a classroom at Lanzhou University.

He returned to school at the age of 60, and it was an inter-professional postgraduate entrance examination. Regaining English was the most troublesome thing on his way to the postgraduate entrance examination.

  Of course, the most difficult thing is English. I learned this English at the university. Later, I taught physics at work. It was basically irrelevant, so I basically threw it aside and picked it up again. It's very difficult.

I go to school at home and go to work. I walk about half an hour on the way to work every day. I will memorize 10 and 20 English vocabularies today. I will write them on a piece of paper, with English on the front and English on the reverse. Those who speak Chinese, walk and watch, at least 10 each day, and strive for (back meeting) 20.

  [Explanation] When preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, many people did not understand it. They felt that it was time to retire and enjoy life, and why they should "ask for trouble" again.

Wang Yuepeng said, this is his ideal for a long time. There was no way to realize it in the past, but now I finally have time to do it. Why not try it hard?

The second half of life has just begun.

  At the beginning, many people didn’t understand, including colleagues, neighbors, and relatives, especially when I had an uncle. He asked you to go to the postgraduate entrance examination and you go to graduate school, do you want to get money? Uncle said that after reading, people will either enjoy it or try to make money after they retire. Why do you still spend money and study? I said this is my ideal.

Why can't I learn? Can I learn to what extent?

  [Explanation] Nowadays, Wang Yuepeng’s class schedule is fully arranged, and he takes almost six to eight classes every day. Compared with the young students in the same class, he has to work harder.

I have also received a lot of encouragement and appreciation for my postgraduate entrance examination.

  Every time I enter the examination room, I feel that it is something very strange. Many candidates, including their parents, are watching what I’m doing, how did you get in, and how did your parents stop you.

That is not a parent, but also an examinee, I feel a strange look in the eyes, of course, I feel more encouragement, a kind of admiration from the heart.

  [Explanation] For the following studies, Wang Yuepeng plans to engage in some legal-related work according to his physical condition after graduation, do his best, and use his remaining heat.
