At the age of eighteen, the most important thing is of course to take the college entrance examination. At that time, every middle school student's most important goal in life was to get into a university and get into a good university. At the same time, a public opinion environment created by society, schools, teachers and parents is that if you fail to enter the university, you will be finished, which is almost equivalent to declaring the failure of your life in advance, which is the end of the world; If you are admitted to the university, you will win the revolution. You will be worthy of the party, the country, the nation, your parents, your teachers, your ancestors, your relatives and friends, and you will be worthy of studying hard at your own cold window. That battle was even more terrible than the imperial examination system described in modern novels. Therefore, there was an article named "Fan Jinzhong Residence" in the middle school textbooks at that time. Basically, you don't need a teacher to explain the main idea of the analysis center, and the students have already understood it deeply and in place, even more incisive than what the teacher said, because everyone feels the same way.

I studied in high school affiliated to nanjing normal university for six years. I am known as one of the first batch of 13 key middle schools in China officially promulgated by the Ministry of Education after the reform and opening up. I am as famous as Jingshan School in Beijing and Nankai Middle School in Tianjin. At that time, I was called "the trump card in the national middle school". In Nanjing and even Jiangsu, all middle school students and their parents are proud to enter this school. The scenery is like winning a prize before Jinshi, and it is almost certain that Jinshi will buy insurance in advance. Walking on the road with the school badge on his chest, he can hold his head high and look down at his neighbor, just like who is driving a Bentley sports car on Chang 'an Avenue in Beijing today. At that time, even the "film police" in Nanjing (police stations, district managers in different blocks of public security) knew that there were several students in their films, because these students were "celebrities" in their own jurisdictions.

At that time, the greatest advantage of studying in such a middle school was that students did not study hard all day, as the outside world speculated, but played games and laughed all day. This is mainly because 80-90% of the students are the children of local university faculty. As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, mice give birth to holes, and smelly children in Laojiu are born with access to reading, or are influenced by their families. In short, everyone learns efficiently and quickly, and the teachers in all subjects are the best in the city and teach correctly. According to the current words, it is entertainment, so instead of eating and sleeping every day, 16 hours is spent reading books, doing problems, reciting or taking various mock exams, and receiving devil training similar to concentration camps. It seems that many schools adopted this cramming method at that time, mostly because teaching and learning were illegal, and as a result, teachers and students were tortured.

In my life, I played football the most times and exercised the most, that is, in the six years of middle school, I grew up on the court almost every day after three o'clock in the afternoon and didn't go home until dark. I didn't feel that delaying study affected the college entrance examination. And my classmates, not delayed by playing football or basketball.

To make a long story short, senior three, the legendary college entrance examination is coming. After all, it is such a big event, just like the marathon has reached the end and entered the arena, leaving only the last lap. You have to hold a competition for the audience, right? As a result, teachers strengthened supervision, parents cooperated and students worked hard, and everyone launched the final sprint to the college entrance examination. It is said that many students stayed up late to work overtime, and the teacher also started special training before the exam. With the upgrading of guessing skills, senior three students and teachers in the middle school attached to South Normal University are bound to join the quiz of the national PK college entrance examination papers.

I still finish my homework according to the teacher's deployment as before, and I have no mind to "practice" on my own initiative. Because the teachers' pre-test training plan is very detailed and targeted, it is enough to keep up with the progress. At the same time, there is not much time left. If you practice secretly, you can only stay awake and eat. My only pain is that I can't find many people who want to play football After all, everyone is busy. Besides, teachers don't like me if I drag others to play football. I think I not only don't study hard myself, but also delay others.

At that time, a group of our friends who played football entered this middle school from the first grade, from the little boy wearing a red scarf to the age of 18. During this period, because of the senior high school entrance examination, everyone's class combination was disrupted and reorganized. Later, because of the division of arts and sciences, everyone sat in different classrooms, so there was no class difference at ordinary times, and they were always grouped by hobbies. Football players always spend their spare time together on the court every day. The teacher also knows.

In the third year of senior high school, one afternoon in physical activity class, I took a group of people to play football happily on the way to the playground. I was very unhappy when I saw several of my own students in the group, so I stopped them and whispered abuse at them. As a result, our original plan to play a sevens game turned into a three-on-three "Scorpion Battle" under the basketball shelf-many years later, I saw this advertisement of Nike, and I still think it reproduces our original idea. Later, the students who were reprimanded told me that their class teacher's general idea was: What ball did you play with him at this time? It's too late to see you cry, and you can't go to college! He's fine. Can you do it? It seems that I am a black sheep.

In a blink of an eye, it is June 1986, only one month away from the college entrance examination on July 7, 8 and 9. At this time, a great event happened, which had an immeasurable impact on my college entrance examination and even my later life. For this matter, my father and I had a serious dialogue and discussion as two men on an equal footing for the first time and made an important choice.
