Chapter 92: Resuming the High School Entrance Examination

Chapter 92: Resuming the High School Entrance Examination

On October 1977, 10, the State Council approved the Ministry of Education's "Opinions on the 12 College Enrollment Work" and published it on the front page of the People's Daily. The state decided that from this year on, college admissions would be based on voluntary registration, unified examinations, and admission based on merit, thus restoring the college entrance examination system that had been abandoned for nearly a decade.

Once the news was spread, people told each other, and it spread rapidly across the country in an instant, just like the New Year.

At this time, the Hongxing Village Night School has been gathering aspiring young people for collective training and review for nearly half a year.

"Sister Su Qing is really amazing. It's no exaggeration to say that she is a real prophet. She even guessed it in advance." Liu Rumen, who had already secured a place to return to the city, was full of confidence after participating in half a year of training. She decided to stay and take the college entrance examination at the end of the year before making any plans.

When the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was announced by an authoritative newspaper, the students attending the night school studied harder. They were very grateful to Su Qing for providing them with a comfortable learning environment, planning ahead, and making preparations for a rainy day. Everyone felt that they had won at the starting line.

In particular, Mr. Di’s tutoring was targeted and achieved good training results. In the most recent mock exam, the students all achieved satisfactory results.

In her previous life, Su Qing only had a high school diploma. Although she later obtained a postgraduate degree through correspondence courses, she had never actually attended college.

Since her rebirth, one of Bai Lanfang's three conditions was to obtain a higher-level diploma. At that time, Su Qing agreed immediately, and she was eyeing today.

This made Su Qing's heart surge with excitement. She clearly remembered that she grew up in a remote mountain village, and if she wanted to escape from the mountains and countryside, studying would be the only way out.

Now, the opportunity has finally come. This is not only her personal dream, but also the hope of all the young people in the village.

The night school has been in operation for more than half a year and has formed a rich set of teaching models and experiences. The educational resources of the night school directly benefit the young people of Hongxing Village.

Although it is called a night school, it is actually very simple, with only three classrooms and a teacher's office.

The place is not big, but it can play a huge role. It is a place for young people to learn.

At this time, there were no televisions or mobile phones, and people did not have many entertainment options.

Gathering together to study in the evening has become the norm in night school.

Although the conditions in this small place for studying are difficult, it carries the dreams of countless rural children.

After half a year of propaganda and indoctrination, people have figured out one thing: only through the power of knowledge can one change their destiny.

"Lin Yueran, Su Yao, you two notify all the students to come to the night school for a meeting tonight. I have something important to tell you all." Su Qing said to the two people sitting next to her while having dinner in the cafeteria.

Lin Yueran didn't object and nodded. "Okay, do we need to notify Teacher Di?"

Su Qing shook her head: "No, I just talked to Teacher Di."

That night, in the night school classroom, Su Qing stood in front of the blackboard with a determined look. "Students, the country has resumed the college entrance examination! This is our chance to change our destiny. I hope you can go all out, and I will do my best to help you prepare for the exam."

Following Su Qing's call, in addition to the students who attended classes regularly, more and more young people from neighboring villages came and surrounded the classroom.

Su Qing not only encouraged everyone and reminded them to develop good study habits, but also invited Teacher Di to conduct a general mobilization before the exam.

Teacher Di is knowledgeable and has rich teaching experience. She walked to the podium and said in a full voice: "Hello everyone, I am Di Jie. I am very happy to be here to help you." Di Jie smiled, her voice gentle but firm. "We will work together to achieve good results in the college entrance examination."

……

After Teacher Di gave a passionate mobilization speech with rich emotion, thunderous applause broke out inside and outside the school.

Over the next month, the learning atmosphere at night school became increasingly intense.

Teachers Su Qing and Di Jie organized several mock exams to help students improve their test-taking skills.

Every time a test is over, Su Qing will patiently explain the wrong questions to each student and help them find the problem.

However, the process of preparing for the college entrance examination was not smooth sailing, and the levels of the students varied greatly.

Lin Yueran and Su Yao encountered many difficulties in their studies.

Especially in mathematics, Lin Yueran often has troubles with a few questions.

"Teacher Su, I really can't learn this." Lin Yueran held the book with a sad face.

"Don't be anxious, Lin Yueran. Let's look at this question together." Di Jie sat next to him and explained it to him patiently. She used vivid examples to gradually guide him to understand each knowledge point.

Su Yao had trouble with English. She couldn't remember words and her pronunciation was not standard. "Sister, I don't think I can learn English well!"

"Su Yao, don't give up. We can memorize words together, and I will teach you some memorization methods." Su Qing encouraged her and took her to recite words and practice repeatedly.

Under Su Qing's patient guidance, Lin Yueran and Su Yao gradually found some joy in learning. Although the process was difficult, their efforts began to show results.

The results of the mock exams gradually improved, and the villagers' confidence also continued to grow.

One month before the college entrance examination, Su Qing led the young talents of Hongxing Village to prepare for the exam.

Under the guidance of teacher Di Jie, everyone's enthusiasm for learning is high.

Every night, the lights are on in the classroom and focused faces can be seen through the windows.

"We must work hard and try to get into university!" Su Yao said after a review class, with a confident smile on her face.

"That's right, everyone has potential! As long as you work hard, you can realize your dreams." Lin Yueran also responded excitedly.

As time went by, the learning atmosphere in the night school became more and more intense, and Su Qing was very pleased with the students' progress.

During this period of preparation, Su Qing gradually realized that night school education is not just for the college entrance examination, but also a new opportunity.

"Su Qing, I was wondering if we can do more in night school?" One night, Lin Yueran put forward her idea to Su Qing.

"You mean?" Su Qing's eyes flashed with encouragement for her to continue.

"I was thinking that we can run night school better, not only to prepare for the college entrance examination, but also to teach more skills, such as practical agricultural knowledge and handicrafts." Lin Yueran's eyes were shining, and it was obvious that he was enthusiastic about this proposal.

Su Qing's eyes lit up and she thought to herself, in fact, this kind of training has been tried many times before, but now the college entrance examination is getting closer, and after the exam, Lin Yueran's suggestion will be included in the night school's education plan.
