My Life in The Past 20 Years （Ⅱ）
I had no idea about how NO.8 middle school was before I went there, the only thing I knew was there were many bad students because it was at the end of the most terrible street in Chenzhou city, where black trades of drugs and weapons prevailed. After I got there, I found that was true, many of my classmates got robbed in that street and so did I. Though the surrounding environment was horrible, it was quite safe in the campus. There were two kinds of classes in NO.8 middle school, urban student classes and rural student classes. Rural students live in the campus, and were permitted to go out only twice a month to go home. There were few entertainment facilities except two basketball courts, we could play basketball about twice in the weekend. Our headmaster was very strict with us, sometimes too strict that many of us would rebel. Once in a weekend, we were supposed to be at home with family, but she asked us to stay in the classroom to review for the final exam, almost every one complained so much, but no one dared to say it out. We stayed in the classroom for half a day, most of the boys didn't review anything, and I felt that there must be something going to happen. Finally, some brave students including me chose to go home without her permission, the excuse was all rural students in the other three classes had gone home leaving am empty classroom. All 63 students went home after we pioneers left the classroom, we felt like warriors and fighters, proud but feared serious punishment after back to school. When we got back to school, she forgave us and mentioned nothing about our escape.
Though she was very strict with us, she was very good to me, many other students envied me. I studied very hard as she told me, she expects me to study in key senior high school, actually I had no idea about the difference between key high school and ordinary school, I just did what she told me to do, study hard. Three year later, I past the entrance exam of No.2 CZ Province Key Senior High School with NO.1 scores.
It was totally different in NO.2 high school, rural and urban students were mixed in class, there were both 'good' students like me who may spent a whole day with a math problem and 'bad' students enrolled through donation. I was luck to meet another kind teacher, Mr. Long; he was in charge of my class after orientation separation. At the second year, all students had to choose an orientation, science or art, and then divided into new classes by orientation. One day, Mr. Long asked us to speak out our target university in front of the whole class. Usually people don't tell others their dream publicly, I was the first to tell, I said that I want to study in Tsinghai University, it's the best science tech university in China, I was quite confident about it, Mr. Long may be impressed about my dream, he invited me to accommodate in his home in campus, where has much better conditions than dormitory. I review to about 12 during night everyday until the national college entrance exam. I didn't perform very well in the national college entrance exam because of fever, missed my dream university and then came to Shanghai Jiaotong University.
Life in college is colorful and deserves much more words to tell.
To be continued.

Sloth
I watched a movie several days ago named “Se7en”, produced in 1995; seven people were killed for seven deadly sins. There is no such saying about seven sins in China, but similar moral standards do exist. Chinese people take pride of their diligentness, which they think as a precious heritage from their ancestors. When I woke up this morning, I suddenly realized it’s been a long time since my updating of my blog, I set a rule to post at least one article each day when I created this blog, but I failed, and very soon I found a excuse for myself: things unexpected could always happen, I’ve done my best. When I opened my blog this morning, it’s like an old friend away for a long time, and I blamed myself for my laziness in the other days. I fear that I will be punished for my sloth. In the past week, there were four exams taken, which made last week the most critical time of the whole semester, all the students have to pay a hundred percent attention to reviewing. I didn’t care about it so much, and then I took the consequence, I got only 50 in the finance management course. During the time which I ought to be reviewing, I was just sitting in the dorm doing nothing, I don’t know the reason, and again I found an excuse: the weather was so bad, I could hardly breathe.
Anyway, it’s over now, I will focus on the other two coming exams, prepare for my internship. Some times it’s really so easy to forget the past.

My Life in The Past 20 Years (Ⅰ)
When I was a kid, I never thought I would come to Shanghai so far away from my hometown village. It was a small village near Guangdong Province in south Hunan Province, central China. My grandfather’s father lived in that village for his whole life, and then my grandfather replayed the same destiny there, when it came to my father, I heard from my mother that there were several chances the family could move away from that place, but my father gave them up. I didn’t know why my father chose to stay in that village, but I gradually knew why my mother was so desired to move to other places. The village is on the top of the mountain, about 20 miles away from the central town, it’s very inconvenient to buy commodity or sell farm produce, there was only one bus run twice a day between the village and center town, and not every family could afford the bus ticket even they went to the town once a month.
I was so happy in the village with my friends. There were four other little kids, my brother, Zhou, and another couple of brothers Jin and Bo, we are all boys, and I am the youngest. We were so young at that time and the only thing our parents asked us to do was cooking, that took us one hour the most and we only cooked when busy time like harvest season. In other time, we did all things any little kid would try. When spring came, we went to forest to catch all kinds of insects to have fun. In summer, we built small dam in the stream to create pond and swim in it, although that was highly prohibited and severely punished by our parents, we did that every summer and the pond was bigger and bigger with our strength increased year by year. During the fall time, we would search the whole mountain around the village for wild nuts and fruits; those were much more delicious than anything sold in a fruit shop. Winter was the most interesting time and my favorite season, we fought with ice balls as our weapons and we also made snowman, there was another thing I loved so much, sitting beside the fire and listening elders telling us the history of the village or their own glorious time. There was an elementary school at the center of the village, and we finished our primary education to grade four. After that, we had to go to town for further education.
I was 10 when I started my grade 5 education in the town in fall 1996. There were five normal classed and one key class in grade 5, the key class have the most clever students and the most outstanding teachers. I was the only student in the key class from our village. All students from villages live in the school in weekdays, and go home when weekends. Each dormitory contained about 50 or more students from different classes and grades, there were only 20 students in my dormitory because we were key class students. Though key class students had better treatment, but the living condition was still bad, there was only enough room for each student to keep a bucket under their beds, the bed was double-layer and the higher layer was always preferable for its better air condition, the windows was broken most of the time even in winter. We ate in the school, but there were no dining room, each semester village students handed in about 100 kilograms rice and 20 Yuan cooking fee to the school, we had three meals a day, 8 in the morning, 12am, and 5pm, 10 students share a big plate of rice every meal, unfair could always happen when sharing, thus cause fight. According to Chinese diet custom, we don’t eat pure rice at dinner, some extra food like vegetables and meat are always needed. There was a little shop selling extra food cost half a Yuan at dinner time, but only students with extra money who may came from rich family could afford that, most students took extra food like cooked dry vegetables from home. I got one or two Yuan allowance from my parents every week, they told me to use it to pay the bus ticket back to home, but that money was seldom used that way, usually it went to the pocket of my headmaster, of whom all boys in my class though as a female monster. She set up lots of rules and regulations for us, once we break them, we would be punished with cleaning classroom or bathroom for weeks and paying her some money. The amount of punishment money depended on how seriously you break the rule, most of the time it would be one to five Yuan, with that money a person could have two meals in a regular restaurant at that time. The most disgusting rule I remember was the exam punishment, if we got less than 85 score in the Chinese Language exam she taught, money as much as the slack score must be turned in to her, and all the punishment money was never given back to us until our graduation from that school. I was such a naughty boy at that time that most of my allowance became punishment money, and I had to walk home alone every week, it was always dark in the night when I got home after 15 miles walking. I hated her so much and swore never contact her once graduated.
Although it seemed like two tragic years because of that disgusting headmaster, there was actually a lot fun and my study was also very good. After graduation from the center town school, I moved to the downtown of ChenZhou city and began my middle school life in NO.8 middle school. It was a key middle school reached its peak when we graduated from it, and I had three of the happiest years in my life there.
