　　On the evening of June 23, when the number 648 appeared on the screen, the big stone in Zhang Chenyue's heart finally fell to the ground.

In Jinyang County, more than 100 kilometers away, her classmate Yang Fahong also found the college entrance examination score: 598 points.

　　Ningnan is a small county town located in the southeastern part of Daliang Mountain and across the water from Qiaojia County, Yunnan Province.

　　In this small town connecting Sichuan and Yunnan, the Baihetan Hydropower Station, a major powerhouse of a big country, attracts the attention of the world; in Liangshan, because the college entrance examination rate has been among the best for 9 consecutive years, the students from all over the country and it go both ways, the parents of Daliangshan With the children, I look forward to trekking here on a path of "changing destiny through knowledge".

　　This year, the undergraduate hard-on-line rate in this small town with a permanent population of less than 200,000 exceeded 70%.

On August 9, reporters from West China Metropolis Daily and the cover news came to Ningnan County and walked into the story of the college entrance examination in this small county.

Come to Ningnan, their common choice

　　"Send to study or stay to study?" This may be a multiple-choice question that many county parents have repeatedly considered for a long time.

In Ningnan County, most local parents do not feel entangled in this. In their hearts, Ningnan's school is like a "nursery center", and they are very relieved to send their children in.

　　Perhaps there is no one who understands local education better than local teachers. As a local teacher in Ningnan County, Zhang Chenyue's parents never thought of sending their children to other cities to go to school, and Zhang Chenyue never had such an idea.

　　"Few of my classmates go to study abroad, because we all heard that Ningnan Middle School has a high enrollment rate and excellent teachers." Zhang Chenyue said that when she applied for the high school entrance examination, she only filled in Ningnan Middle School.

　　Ma Yijie also chose to stay locally.

Due to her failure in the high school entrance examination, she did not go to Ningnan Middle School, but chose to pursue her university dream in Ningnan Vocational and Technical School.

　　Yang Fahong is a typical example of choosing to "migrate" to Nanning.

He was born in Jinyang County and had good grades since he was a child. In order to cultivate this good seedling, his parents sent him to Ningnan County "ruthlessly".

Yang Fahong did not realize at the time that this choice might change his life, but he seemed to understand that he could receive a better education when he came to Ningnan.

　　When he first came to Ningnan, Yang Fahong felt uncomfortable. He was also a classmate who had just entered junior high school. The local classmates had a much more solid learning foundation than Yang Fahong. According to their progress, Yang Fahong seized the spare time to find teachers and classmates to give him "additional lessons".

Seeing the improvement in grades day by day, Yang Fahong felt that "it was worth it".

Yang Fahong

Adjust your mentality to realize your university dream

　　Entering high school, life is always full of problems and challenges. Whether it is Zhang Chenyue, Yang Fahong or Ma Yijie, under the intense study life, academic and life difficulties will always surround them.

　　For Zhang Chenyue, physics is a "big mountain" that she cannot overcome.

Judging from several exams, from more than 70 points to more than 100 points, her physics scores fluctuated like a roller coaster.

In a mock exam in April this year, Zhang Chenyue's physics exam failed again. "My mentality is a bit broken." The falling grades and the approaching college entrance examination made this little girl who has always been calm and steady began to panic.

　　Seemingly seeing Zhang Chenyue's concerns, the teacher of the third subject of science and medicine called her to the office and started the "one-on-one" solution mode.

Under the guidance of the teacher, Zhang Chenyue gradually adjusted her mentality and started to analyze and solve the wrong questions one by one. Soon, her grades improved a lot.

　　For Yang Fahong, who laughs at his "poor memory", mixing formulas and methods and using them incorrectly is his biggest bottleneck. What should I do?

Under the guidance of the teacher, Yang Fahong sorted out the formulas clearly, and practiced with different question types. In the process of constantly brushing the questions, Yang Fahong began to use various knowledge points proficiently, and his grades also improved significantly.

　　In addition to the guidance of teachers and their own efforts, parental support is also very important for children to overcome difficulties.

Since Zhang Chenyue entered high school, her parents no longer have "double breaks"; even though the family conditions are difficult, Yang Fahong's parents have always tried their best to support his studies; and Ma Yijie's mother is even more overwhelming , sending the child to college.

　　After failing the first time in the college entrance examination, Ma Yijie's scores were only enough to go to a junior college, but seeing that her brothers and sisters in her family were admitted to key undergraduate degrees, Ma Yijie also had a college dream in her heart.

　　After a long talk with her parents, the father left a sentence, "If you can't pass the test, go to work", which almost made Ma Yijie lose her confidence, but the mother stood firmly on her daughter's side, "As long as you want to study, I will I will do my best." With her mother's expectation and concern, Ma Yijie was admitted to Sichuan Tourism College with a score of 536 in the college entrance examination this year, realizing her university dream.

We're not exactly "small town quizzers"

　　It may be difficult for you to imagine that a small county with a permanent population of less than 200,000 has ranked among the top in Liangshan for nine consecutive years in the college entrance examination rate. This year, the undergraduate hard admission rate has exceeded 70%.

Strict teaching system, diligent teachers and students, through the college entrance examination, Ningnan has come out of batches of college students.

But even so, Zhang Chenyue and Yang Fahong told reporters unequivocally: "We're not exactly 'small town quizzers'."

　　"Literally speaking, I did get out of the mountains by doing questions." But in the intense study life, Zhang Chenyue also has a wide range of hobbies, swimming, long-distance running, piano... Zhang Chenyue did not fall behind, she still Plan to pass the piano grade 8 exam after going to college.

Yang Fahong is also constantly looking for his specialties in his studies. He clearly remembers that in the second year sports meeting, he threw the shot put 7 meters away, and beat many players to win the second place in the school. Not only that, he did laundry, cooking, and farm work. , Yang Fahong is also a little expert in daily life at home.

　　On the display wall of Ningnan Middle School, there is a poster with the theme of Passion Five, which records the various extracurricular life of Ningnan Middle School students.

"Going home to honor parents theme activities, cultural festivals for teachers and students, cultural performances, 30-mile excursion..." According to Wang Chao, director of Ningnan County Education, Sports and Science and Technology Bureau and principal of Ningnan Middle School, the average monthly Ningnan Middle School A large-scale extracurricular activity will be launched. Every day, children will watch "News Network" on time to learn about current affairs. The purpose is to prevent children from becoming "reading machines" who can only do questions.

　　Wang Chao still remembers that at an event, the school rewarded the students with a pig's trotters and a piece of pork for the students who went to the undergraduate line. The children who did not go to the undergraduate line also got two boxes of popcorn.

In the follow-up visit, Wang Chao learned that none of the students gave the meat to others or ate it secretly, but brought it home to their parents.

In this regard, he is very pleased, "This shows that every child not only keeps up with knowledge education, but also keeps up with psychological education."

The new fashion in the county: teachers are the most fragrant, parents fight for children

　　With the increasing enrollment rate and the increasing number of candidates, Ningnan Middle School has handed over a beautiful answer sheet to the society with relatively excellent results.

What does high-quality education bring to this small city?

　　According to Yang Yanping, the 2022 grade minister of Ningnan Middle School, education has brought a new "competition" to Ningnan County: parents began to "comparison" with each other in their children's learning.

"This is a good phenomenon." During the 8 years of working in Ningnan Middle School, Yang Yanping saw the emphasis on education from students to parents and even the entire county.

More and more children will not stay away from school because of poverty, and more and more parents are beginning to take the initiative to care about their children's education.

　　Regarding the current problem of teacher loss in most counties, Wang Chao does not seem to be worried.

The attention of the whole people, the improvement of treatment, and the respect of the society have made teachers in Ningnan County a popular profession, and many college students who have gone abroad in Ningnan County are also willing to return to their hometowns to engage in the education industry.

This year, Ningnan County recruited 130 new teachers, more than half of which were local college students.

　　In addition, the continuous improvement of the quality of education has also reduced the cost of sending their children to school for the local people.

Students study locally, avoiding the "tidal phenomenon" in the work of parents.

The enhancement of education attraction has also attracted more foreign students and families, and promoted the economic development of Ningnan County.

　　In August, when the autumn comes, the breeze blows over the Jinsha River into the county seat, and the sunflowers under the Jinsha Bridge grow in the sun.

Education has changed the fate of children in Liangshan, enabling them to go out of the mountains, receive higher education with children in big cities, and live a wonderful life.

　　In September, Zhang Chenyue will go to Xiamen University to start a beautiful university life. She said that she already has the idea of ​​​​protecting the research, and she will work hard; Yang Fahong will go to Southwest Medical University by the Yangtze River to start a five-year clinical medicine major. In his opinion, as a child who has gone out from the mountains, becoming a doctor is also a good choice. If there is a chance in the future, he also wants to study for a doctorate; and Ma Yijie will go to Sichuan Tourism College in the provincial capital to study cooking. She looks forward to mastering more cooking skills.

　　"In the future, more children will walk out of Liangshan and go to the world through education!" Wang Chao is full of confidence in this.
