Wu Xu was born in a small village called Xipo Village in Gaoshan Village, Longmen Town, Da'an County, Ping'an City, Qianjiang Province in the western region. Xipo Village is not connected to the road, and it takes an hour to walk the mountain road to the Gaoshan Village Committee to take a car to catch the market and go out, and there are more than 50 families here, all of whom make a living from farming.

Wu Xu's father, Wu Liang, is the only junior high school graduate in Xipo Village, and he has a high voice in the village, and his father needs to help carry out big and small things. Wu Liang attaches great importance to education, and he understands that only by educating his children well can he get out of the mountains and embark on the road to prosperity. Therefore, Wu Xu has been taken care of by his father differently since he was a child, other children are reading when they are playing, and he is also reading when others are resting, and when they are fifteen or sixteen years old, other people's children either go out to work, or help the father and daughter do farm work at home, anyway, they all live like people, contribute to the family, and can create a certain amount of wealth. Wu Xu is different from them, he is still studying at the age of sixteen, but Wu Xu really did not disappoint his parents, when he was sixteen years old, he took the first place in the town in the high school entrance examination, and was the only student in the town who was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in Ping'an City. For a time, Wu Xu's reputation spread throughout the town, and the streets and alleys of Longmen Town were spreading that the mountain that came out like a monkey in Xipo Village was a mountain called Wu Xu, who took the first place in the town and was admitted to the ...... of Ping'an City.

Wu Xu's father and daughter are very happy, half a lifetime of hard work has not been in vain, and their son finally has a chance. Of course, the happiest is Wu Xu's grandfather Wu Ping, because Wu Ping was born in the thirties, his grandfather's father was a man of the Qing Dynasty, and after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he taught in other places for a living, because the story was well told, so there were many students, and he was also a rich and status family in the forties and fifties. My grandfather followed his father to teach outside since he was a child, and he also learned a lot of knowledge, and became a private school teacher in his teens. After the founding of New China, my grandfather became a militia company commander when he was 17 years old, and later became a brigade accountant, public social planner, clerk, etc., because of the appreciation of the organization, he went to the old areas of advanced areas many times to study, and could have directly served as a county-level cadre, because his father had made mistakes, so he did not directly become a cadre. Later, he went straight home to farm, and now he is blind.

Grandpa Wu Pingduo hopes that his children and grandchildren can study more, have the ability, inherit their unfinished matters, and serve the country in the future, Wu Xu took the first place in the town, and he was naturally the happiest.

In order to let Wu Xu go to middle school smoothly and take the lead for his younger siblings, his parents had to go out to work to make money. In this way, Wu Xu and his younger siblings became left-behind children.

After entering high school, Wu Xu's grades at the beginning were among the best in the class, except for his poor English, he was one of the best in the class and even in the school. When I was a freshman in high school, a classmate asked Wu Xu about his dream, and Wu Xu did not hesitate to say that his goal was to be admitted to Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

In the first semester of high school, Wu Xu's grandfather Wu Ping died suddenly, which brought a major blow to Wu Xu, and he began to be greedy for fun after a period of sadness, and began to escape from reality, especially to escape from his rural birth, to escape from his poor family conditions, and even embarrassed to say that he was not in addition to his hometown, because his hometown is too backward. In this way, his grades plummeted, especially in English, sometimes in single digits. When he was in his second year of high school, when his classmates asked him about his ideals again, he thought about it and said: I want to be admitted to Guangxi University for Nationalities.

In his junior year of high school, Wu Xu's mind was not focused on studying at all, playing games, surfing the Internet, and watching football games all day long, especially watching football games, as long as there were games for Yao Ming, Kobe, and Garnett, he was undoubtedly absent from school. When he wasn't watching the ball game, he had nothing to do all day long, escaping from reality, and the people he often played with were the worst in several science classes. Every time they take the monthly exam, they compare each other and ask each other whether you are starting with the first or second in the monthly exam, which means that you have scored more than 100 points or more than 200 points. Naturally, there is a beginning and a second beginning among them. Wu Xu is much better than them, he can score more than 400 points, although his English is poor and he is seriously biased, but his foundation is still there. This year, his classmates asked him what his dream was, and he smiled and said, I want to go to a commercial college in this province.

When the time came to the college entrance examination, some of his classmates went to Tsinghua University of Peking University, and some went to 985 and 211. In those years, the eight regulations were not so strict, and it was the norm to run a school wine. Therefore, on the occasion of graduation, he went to eat the champion wine of his classmates every day, and he was not admitted to the commercial college in this province, but transferred to the physics major of Jiangnan Teachers College in Qianjiang Province.

Although he drove high and walked low, it did not affect Wu Xu's mood, he always told his classmates that Maddie was the best at basketball, and he scored 13 points in only 35 seconds. I don't look very good, when I took the college entrance examination English test, I did it all in less than twenty seconds, I scored 14 points, much better than Maddie, because Wu Xu scored 14 points in the college entrance examination English test, so when he said this, he can always make everyone laugh again and again.

After Wu Xu entered Jiangnan Normal College, he slept until he woke up naturally one day, and he never took a good class anyway. When I was a sophomore, I had a serious illness and was delayed for more than half a year. By the time he graduated, there were still thirteen subjects that he had not examined, and he needed to take a make-up examination for graduation, and the subjects he took the make-up examination ranked second in the whole department. In the past six months, he has worked very hard, and when others are looking for jobs, preparing for promotions, and preparing for the civil service exam, he is reading books to make up for the exam; When others were playing basketball and sleeping lazy, he was reading books to make up for the exam, however, because his English was too poor, he still didn't take the test, and finally had to graduate.

Back on May 30, 2011, Wu Xu and his good friend Chen Yang were climbing the mountain, talking and laughing.

Chen Yang: You're about to graduate, what are your plans?

Wu Xu: What about you? Chen Yang, do you want to go to your boyfriend?

Chen Yang: I've been talking about it for so many years, and I can't let it go if I want to. I think I'd better go to him, and after graduation, I'm going to take the civil service or public institution there. But I can't worry about my parents, it's too far away from them, and I don't want to marry far away.

Wu Xu: Marry far away, marry far away, now in terms of transportation, the back and forth is not like before, if you like him, go to him, I support you.

Chen Yang: What are your plans?

Wu Xu: I want to find a job after I get my graduation certificate, I like a girl in Jiangnan City, she has found a job in Jiangnan People's Hospital, in order to catch her, I can't be a jobless vagrant, I have to have some interest. I'll take the teacher exam first, I still want to be a teacher.

Chen Yang: It's the intern nurse you met in Jiangnan Hospital, she's a very nice person, come on...... I'm optimistic about you.

Wu Xu: What I'm most worried about is my graduation certificate, because no matter how hard I try, I will never be able to speak English, and if I can't pass the exam, I won't get my graduation certificate, and I will study in vain all these years.

Before he finished speaking, Wu Xu received a call from his classmate Luo Ping.

Luo Ping: Brother Xu, the results are out, it's not good, you have passed all the English tests, but you are still two points short of ordinary physics, and you have successfully graduated. I've also finished my studies, and I have good things to bring with me in the future.

After Luo Ping finished speaking, Wu Xu was no longer calm, and immediately sat down on the stone ladder. Chen Yang also bent down to help Wu Xu up. Unexpectedly, Wu Xu actually cried, crying very sad and sad.

Wu Xu's face was expressionless, his head was raised, and he suddenly thought of the glory of his high school entrance examination in junior high school, his idleness in high school, and the extreme embarrassment when he ate his classmates' top wine. I thought of my grandfather's ardent hope, and thought of my father and mother working hard for themselves to go out to work, facing the loess with their backs to the sky. Thinking that he would need to take an hour to take a detour to go out for a ride, his classmates from the nearby big village when he was a child said that they all looked like monkeys from Xipo Village. Many, many scenarios come to mind.

Wu Zhao couldn't control himself anymore and finally started crying. The man has tears and does not flick, this is the first time he has cried since he became sensible, and he cried loudly in front of his female classmate Chen Yang.

Chen Yang: It's come to this, don't cry, it'll be fine, I believe in you.

Wu Xu called his father's phone: Dad, I'm sorry, I'm not angry, I didn't do well in the exam, I didn't get my graduation certificate, I couldn't help it, so I cried on the phone.

Wu Liang: Kid, don't talk about it, go home, and us. My mother grabbed the phone and said: Go home, don't be afraid if you don't have a graduation certificate, no one in the village has it anyway, you just want you to be safe.

After hearing his father's and mother's words, Wu Xu's mood became even more sad, and he fell into Chen Yang's arms and kept crying, and Chen Yang couldn't help crying.

A few families were happy and a few were sad, and Wu Xu, who did not get his graduation certificate, was naturally very sad, but under the guidance of his classmates and difficult brothers, he gradually calmed down, and embarked on the journey home after a few drunken sessions.

On this day, they were drinking in the dormitory, drunk and spitting out the truth, Luo Ping said: Let's go to Mr. Tan, give him a good chat, it will be more convenient for us to take the make-up exam next year, if we can't take the exam next year, then we will really study in vain in the past three years.

Liu Tao: Don't talk about this, I just don't believe that without this graduation certificate, I will be as bad as others, you love to take the test or not, anyway, I won't come back to school to take the make-up exam.

Wu Xu: I'm the same, I don't believe that this diploma can tie up my future, even for dinner, I won't beg him.

Liu Tao: I see that Lao Tan's QQ car is parked below, who dares to go down, don't pierce his QQ.

I'll go... I'll go... I also went, and Liu Tao, Wu Xu, Luo Ping, Wang Chaoyong and other twelve people who did not get their graduation certificates responded one after another. I don't know how much wine I drank that day, and I don't know how everyone got it, but after getting drunk, more than a dozen people carried the QQ of the head of the department, Mr. Tan, from the parking lot to the bottom of the field. The next day, Mr. Tan, the head of the department, invited a crane to lift the QQ car to the parking lot and parked it.

Wu Xu has experienced the glory of being the top student in the middle school entrance examination, although his grades have been declining in high school, the main reason is that he is too biased and his English is too poor. Even if he did not do well in the college entrance examination, his Chinese, mathematics, and physics were still quite good. In his sophomore year, he missed classes for a semester due to illness, and when the exam was approaching, his classmates Liu Ming and Yang Xiong were preparing for the exam in education. One of them asked questions and one answered, but neither of them had taken the test, but had not taken a class, and Wu Xu, who was impatient on the side, overheard these conversations between the two of them preparing for the exam and remembered them, and got a high score.

Wu Xu is like this: perception and inertia coexist, there are as many advantages as there are disadvantages, although he is high and low in his studies, the contrast is too great. But he still persevered, at least the first college student in Xipozhai.
