"my family is in the countryside, and my family is poor, so I have no money to read." Zhang Xiaozeng, 42, came to the Music Department of the Liaocheng University, reporting that his luggage was very small, only a package of autumn and winter clothes, a package of Russian and music books, which appeared to be very individual in front of a large number of post-90s freshmen. Zhang Xiaozeng was a typical 60 born in 1969. He said he came from Liaoning rural area.
he said he was among the best in his studies since he was young, but when he was in the college entrance examination, he was badly affected by a heavy rain. After the failure, he went out to work and worked hard for ten years. In one of the pastimes, the people found that he was singing well, and he found a new joy of life. He often practiced songs for a time and found a teacher in a rural primary school. Gradually, Zhang Xiaozeng thought of the university entrance examination. In 2010, he first took part in the college entrance examination, because the blow of his mother's death was defeated. In 2011, he earned money and prepared for the examination and finally went to college.
Zhang Xiaozeng, more than 40 years old, suddenly wants to go to university. This has caused many people's incomprehension and ridicule. "So old, what's the use of reading?" In the course of preparing for his exams, he was often laughed at by the villagers, and he had scattered several marriages. Because of age, professional vocal teachers are unwilling to accept and eat a lot of closed doors. Because of the economic hardship, Zhang Xiaozeng had been studying by himself while he worked. He had lived in the rented house for 7 years, and spent several years collecting waste products. The cost of learning vocal music is relatively high. He has no money to buy good musical instruments, and practise it over and over with a broken tape recorder.
in order to earn enough tuition, he still received scrap three days before school. His hands were covered with cocoons and his fingernails were purple. "It was hit by a hammer when the nails were removed from the scrap iron." Zhang Xiaozeng said that because of financial constraints, he worked 80 days in a row and received scrap, and finally saved some money. "I plan to apply for student loans, and I will wait until the sophomore and junior year to lay a good foundation for tutoring." He said he was happy to be admitted to university, but he still had a lot of pressure. He had to earn money to support himself. Zhang Xiaozeng said that the roommates were young and active, and they were very happy to get along with them, hoping to learn more about computers and other knowledge.
