Abandoned admission to Shanghai Jiaotong University "High Ten" protagonist plan for the 14th repeat
"Not for bonuses, only two big bonuses over the years"
On September 1, the 76-minute full version of the documentary "High Ten" by Tang Shangjun, a student who has participated in the college entrance examination many times, was released on the Internet platform.
Previously, this documentary was on the hot search list on the eve of the 2020 college entrance examination.
This year is Tang Shangjun's 13th year of re-reading. He was admitted to the School of Nursing, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, but he gave up registration at the school due to professional reasons.
Tang Shangjun plans to repeat the study again, which is his 14th time.
Abandon Shanghai Jiaotong University to repeat the study
"It's a good school, but the major is not for me"
Reporter: Your Weibo certification has now been changed to "re-read candidates for 13 years of Tsinghua University", which means that you plan to re-read in the future?
Tang Shangjun: I plan to repeat it.
The 2023 college entrance examination is the last college entrance examination in Guangxi after the reform of the college entrance examination, regardless of liberal arts and sciences. I want to try to seize this opportunity.
In addition, I don't like this kind of certification. It was the Weibo staff who contacted me for certification, and I agreed.
But the certification language was not written by me, and I felt very awkward. I tried to change it, but it was rejected.
I still like the sentence I used to say, "I don't do it stubbornly, I only realize it later."
Reporter: How did you spend this summer vacation?
Why give up Shanghai Jiaotong University?
Tang Shangjun: After filling out the volunteers this summer, I will go back to my hometown.
After staying in my hometown for about ten days, I did some heavy and tiring work for my mother, such as building a collapsed stone wall, going to the mountains to carry heavy bamboo shoots back, borrowing a saw to cut all the wood, and helping my mother Planted corn, and then went to Nanning, mainly as a part-time tutor.
When the admission results came out, I was very happy to learn that I was accepted by Shanghai Jiaotong University. After all, this is a very good school.
But the nursing major is not suitable for me, I think I can fight for another major.
Later, a teacher from Shanghai Jiaotong University contacted me, and I confirmed with her that this major cannot be changed.
I also struggled for a long time, whether to read it or not, and finally chose to give up.
Repeat for a bonus?
"I don't agree, there are a few years when the bonus is only enough for the basic expenses"
Reporter: It is said on the Internet that you are a college entrance examination professional who retakes the college entrance examination for the bonus. What do you think of this statement?
Tang Shangjun: I do not agree with this statement.
Apart from going to Pingguo No. 3 Middle School in 2016 and being admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University this year, the two bonuses are quite impressive. The bonuses in the middle years are basically enough for living expenses.
I'm not too young, and I hope to see my mother look happy when she gives her one or two thousand yuan during the Chinese New Year.
I don't want my family to worry about me either.
Just for a bonus of two or three thousand yuan a year, do you think I can afford it?
In 2016, my father was seriously ill, and the budget for chemotherapy was huge. I hope I can help a little bit.
At that time, my sister and mother asked me for my opinion. It is estimated that chemotherapy will cost more than 100,000 yuan, and it will deteriorate rapidly. Is this money worth spending?
I told them, if there is a silver lining, why not try it?
We can make money slowly in the future.
Back then, my father had already been sentenced to death by the doctor. I struggled for a long time in front of family affection and personal future. In the end, I chose family affection and came back to receive a bonus of tens of thousands of yuan to treat my father and spend more time with him. Finished the last journey of life.
There is one thing I didn't want to say. In fact, while I took the bonus to solve my own life problems, I also helped a girl who repeated her studies.
The girl who knew about my re-reading added me on WeChat, and we have never met.
Last year, she said that she had reread once, but there was no progress, and she was hovering around the second line.
Later, I learned that her family was in difficulty, and she was working in Guangdong while studying by herself, and the learning effect was very poor.
I understand her difficulties. I told her, I am afraid you will waste another year if you continue like this. I will lend you 10,000 yuan, which is almost enough for a year's living expenses. You go back to school to concentrate on reviewing and prepare for next year's exams.
She couldn't believe it and repeatedly asked me if it was true?
She took her mobile phone as a mortgage, and I said the mortgage will be waived. You can pay me back after graduating from college.
She is happy to go back to school. This year, she took a book and was accepted by a school in Shanghai, which is the city she yearns for.
She is happy and so am I.
About filming documentaries
"It didn't put too much pressure on my life and study"
Reporter: Why did you accept the idea of making a documentary in the first place?
Tang Shangjun: It should be 2014, when I encountered great difficulties in my life.
In desperation, I contacted my junior high school classmate and my best friend He Hanli on QQ.
Knowing my situation, he couldn't believe it.
He had been working for two years at the time, and I was still in high school.
It was his generosity that helped me through this difficult time, and I am very grateful to him.
Later, he called me and said that he was very emotional. You are still repeating your studies. I don’t know where you got this energy.
Because he wanted to create and make films about the struggle for the college entrance examination, he thought I was a good fit, so he asked me if I could do me a favor.
At that time, I was hesitant, for fear of affecting the preparation for the exam.
Later, He Hanli promised to minimize the impact and interference of the filming process on me.
I had no worries and agreed.
He Hanli and I went home to shoot, saying to the outside world that it was to shoot local Chinese New Year customs.
Filming at school, pretending not to know me, and occasionally sneaking at me.
At that time, his promise was fulfilled, and it did not put too much pressure on my life and study.
When the film was broadcast in 2016, it was also quietly, but some people knew about it.
It affects me, but not very much.
Unexpectedly, after many years, this film will become popular again, and the impact on me is good and bad, let it be.
