A successful postgraduate entrance examination and a combination of civil and military

　　The canteen brother and the security uncle are newly promoted to the campus "sweeping monk"

　　Knowing that he succeeded in the postgraduate entrance examination, Zhou Boyu, who works in the canteen of Qiyi Road Campus of Hebei University, posted his admission notice on WeChat, and a group of college diners "Gailou" sent blessings, attracting the campus media to scramble for interviews; in the new crown pneumonia epidemic During the prevention and control period, a photo of Lu Junling, a security guard at the Wusi Road Campus, learning English under the street lights was taken by passing college students and posted to social media, which quickly attracted attention and likes on the Internet.

　　In April, when the results of the postgraduate entrance examination were settled and the job application for the graduation season started, Zhou Boyu, the "canteen boy", and Lu Junling, the "security uncle", joined the homepage of the official website of Hebei University.

In the posters specially designed for them, the two news figures discovered by the college students themselves "endorsed" the freshest "campus role models" this season.

　　Civil and military "sweeping monk"

　　People are accustomed to comparing the masters who are usually concealed but who suddenly create miracles to the "sweeping monks" in Jin Yong's novels.

Some college students who like Jin Yong's works regard "uncle security guard" Lu Junling and "canteen brother" Zhou Boyu as "sweeping monks" in reality.

　　Lu Junling is versatile. With just a few strokes, he can draw lifelike figures and animals; grab a handful of rice and swipe and pull a few times, and a calligraphy work will appear on the paper; with a soft pen and a hard pen, he can write with his left and right hands together or upside down. It's easy to come by; wherever he is, a set of fists and feet are also beaten by him, and he has a good look...

　　More than a month ago, 53-year-old Lu Junling came to Hebei University to work as a security guard.

Before that, he, his wife and son had settled in Baoding for many years.

　　In fact, Lu Junling's original intention to learn English was very simple, to help his younger son with his homework.

But when he was only a high school student at the time, he was really struggling to tutor a junior high school student to learn English.

So he bought a dictionary, and he started the road of father and son learning English simultaneously.

　　Now that the youngest son has gone to college, Lu Junling is unable to take it back. English seems to have an indescribable magic power for him.

The security uncle told reporters that English learning has become his fourth meal in addition to three meals a day.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of being a security guard at Hebei University, he kept up with the pace of college students: college students study in the classroom during class, and Lu Junling studies in the campus after get off work.

　　"I am the one with the highest education among the canteen staff." Zhou Boyu told reporters that after graduating from Hebei University, after graduating from Hebei University, he and his parents and relatives collected nearly 200,000 yuan to take over the beef rice stall. lost money.

This made him feel "a lot of pressure" when he tried his skills for the first time.

　　As a marketing graduate, he quickly realized that professional people do professional things.

After recruiting several experienced elder sisters to be in charge of the kitchen, Zhou Boyu focused his energy on marketing and management, which he was good at.

　　He sponsored student club activities with the already-stretched funds and quickly increased his popularity among target customers; he printed the advertisement of beef rice on the back of the school calendar, just so that college students would not discard it after reading it; The key customer resources of the company, regular activities and promotions; he even opened a precedent for food delivery in the canteen of Hebei University...

　　"Beef rice is more than just rice!" After a single operation, the peers completely recognized this highly educated little brother.

　　Starting in 2020, due to the epidemic, college students must eat in the school cafeteria.

Seizing this opportunity, Zhou Boyu set up a working team of 8 people and maintained a team of WeChat campus friends of thousands of people for Beef Rice...

　　Looking back on his successful counterattack in the cafeteria, Zhou Boyu couldn't help but conclude with a smile to the reporter: "Be your best self, who is not a 'sweeping monk'!"

　　present and far

　　The time in the postgraduate entrance examination sprint stage is tight, Zhou Boyu really envies that the fresh graduate entrance examination students can have a complete review time, and he can only work hard in the morning and night.

Envy is envy, Zhou Boyu knows very well that it is this job that he is currently relying on for a living.

　　Three years ago, the fresh graduate Zhou Boyu failed the postgraduate entrance examination and came to the school cafeteria to become a beef rice boy.

For this choice, he never felt anything different: some of the classmates chose to take the civil service exam, and some went to graduate school. The "way out" he chose was to start a business, but this entrepreneurial project was just a beef and rice stall in the cafeteria.

　　Facing the upcoming postgraduate life, Zhou Boyu handed over the beef rice business to his mother.

He said bluntly: "Let's focus more on schoolwork."

　　3 years of entrepreneurship in the cafeteria made him eager to have a higher platform to try his skills.

He and his girlfriend, who is a graduate student in Jiangsu Province, have already agreed that the goal of future work and life will be Xiongan, which is "a major national event for the millennium".

The two young men hope to make a difference there.

　　The "Security Uncle" at the Wusi Road Campus of Hebei University has heard of Zhou Boyu at the Qiyi Road Campus.

Lu Junling admired the young man who was successfully admitted to graduate school, but he bluntly said that the purpose of his English learning has nothing to do with the test grading, let alone "seeking attention", but "just like to learn".

　　Lu Junling, who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has developed a skill, does not deny that he has always dreamed of being an artist.

Although there are people around him who praise and some people disdain and question, it does not prevent him from enjoying the process of working hard towards his dream.

　　Although Lu Junling also felt that the dream of being an artist was out of reach, while enjoying the fun of learning, this "Security Uncle" successfully made his younger son fall in love with English learning, and also enabled his wife, who was illiterate, to read and read newspapers.

　　The stories of Lu Junling and Zhou Boyu moved Han Tianlu, a professor at the School of Literature of Hebei University.

In his opinion, the nature of their stories is different: "Uncle Security" learns English, painting, calligraphy, martial arts... These are not actually to change his current situation, but to try to make his life richer, More interesting and higher quality; "Canteen Brother" uses his tireless pursuit of ideals to tell the story of a struggler. After starting a job and starting a business, he did not stop in front of him, but resolutely moved forward towards a higher pursuit in life. OK.

　　Guo Jian, Secretary of the Party Committee of Hebei University, also praised Zhou Boyu and Lu Junling.

In his opinion, although the two people working in Hebei University are different in age, experience, and pursuit of their own characteristics, they are equally inspiring and give people the power to improve and do good.

At the same time, Guo Jian told reporters from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily that their stories demonstrated the quality of a comprehensive university and the power of role models around them, which subtly inspired young students and inspired educators.

　　break the circle

　　Looking back, the reason why the 26-year-old "canteen brother" and the 53-year-old "security uncle" of Hebei University were able to successfully "break the circle" on campus were the "pushers" behind them were the college students around them.

　　Zhou Boyu actually learned the good news of his postgraduate entrance examination as early as noon on March 31.

But throughout the afternoon, as a "canteen boy", he still prepared and delivered meals step by step.

　　It wasn't until I lay on my bed at night and saw that the "comrades" in the postgraduate entrance examination posted their results one after another.

He also shared a screenshot of his admission notice in the circle of friends, and said: "I may be the first graduate student admitted from the cafeteria of Henan University."

　　What he didn't expect was that this circle of friends shared "bombing" congratulations from friends - 468 likes and 140 comments.

"The vast majority of them are college students who have visited my beef rice stall." Statistics show that the number of applicants for postgraduate entrance examinations in 2022 will reach 4.57 million, an increase of 800,000 compared with 2021.

In the eyes of Zhou Boyu's WeChat friends, being able to stand out from the 4.57 million applicants is of course something to congratulate.

　　"Uncle Security" Lu Junling accidentally "breaks the circle" and has many similarities with Zhou Boyu.

After a photo of learning English under a street lamp accidentally became popular among college students, hundreds of short videos posted by Lu Junling on Douyin were also followed by netizens.

Through Douyin, the various talents of this "Uncle Treasure" have also been praised by college students.

　　Han Tianlu believes that the accidental "breaking circle" of the "canteen brother" and "security uncle" on the university campus has its inevitability behind the contingency.

"In such an era of information explosion, in a sense, these two people and two things were chosen by our society and chosen by our eyes." Han Tianlu said that college students can pay attention to Investing in these two people and paying attention to their stories is because the stories of Zhou Boyu and Lu Junling echo their thinking about life and the future.

　　In Han Tianlu's view, the stories of "little brother in the cafeteria" and "uncle security guard" provide examples and support for college students on two different levels on "how to enrich one's life".

"One is the role of motivation, providing motivation and an example; the other is the possibility of living a more interesting and tasteful life in one's current environment."

　　This accidental "breaking the circle" on campus did not bring much change to Zhou Boyu and Lu Junling's life trajectory, and the two had no intention of trying to become "Internet celebrities".

　　Until now, the two people who are located in different campuses of Hebei University have not been able to meet and communicate.

However, "canteen boy" Zhou Boyu has sent an invitation to Lu Junling through reporters. After the epidemic is over, he will definitely invite "security uncle" to taste his beef rice.
