Essay about childhood life

When I was a child, my parents and relatives always liked to test me with various things.

I remember one time when I came back from the countryside, as soon as I entered the city, my parents "threw" me out of the car and said, "I will find a way to come back and I will be rewarded with ten yuan." For those ten yuan, I He smiled blindly and agreed, waving his handkerchief and saying, "Goodbye!" It took him several hours to get home. By then, it was already dark. I cried, but when I bought a lot of things with the ten yuan and went home, I realized that it was worth it, and I know how to cherish hard-earned things. This was my childhood, exciting, hard work, and worth it.

In terms of sports, I am quite stupid. I want to learn to swim, but I can't learn it.

It’s summer vacation, and I want to learn to swim again. I go to the swimming pool almost every day. But I only dare to do it, and I can only soak in the shallow pool. I think I still can’t learn it. I wanted to give up, but my parents still kicked me into the water every day. Mom said: "I learned it, and I will reward you with 100 yuan this time!" "When I heard this, my eyes immediately lit up. Wow! 100 yuan! To me as a child, that was countless hamburgers! So, I swam harder and became more courageous, but for some reason, I couldn't even kick two feet. When I go into the water, my feet always stick to the ground, and I feel at ease. On the last day of summer vacation, I still didn't learn it.

But after I changed my clothes, I still felt unwilling. I clenched my fists and jumped into the deep pool without hesitation.

At first, I sank into the water and drank a few sips of water, feeling very uncomfortable. I paddled hard, and finally my head came out of the water. I breathed a sigh of relief, but my body sank again! I struggled to get water, but why didn't anyone around me save me? I'm going to die! What should I do? "I have to rely on myself now!" "At this time, there was a voice in my heart saying. I remembered, this is what my father said to me. I recalled, the method of swimming! So I tried my best to calm down, no longer afraid, paddled a few times, and gradually , my hands and feet became more coordinated, and we were getting closer and closer to the shore.

When I suddenly looked back with a smile of victory, I was surprised, and then, "Wow"

With a loud sound, two heads emerged from the water, which startled me. It turned out that they had been hiding behind me without even taking off their clothes... No wonder no one came to rescue me. In fact, my parents You have been protecting me! For a moment, my heart felt so warm and I felt that I was the happiest person in the world. I got something more valuable than that 100 yuan.

Listen to the aunt who went with me. He said, that time, my parents were actually following me. Seeing my hardship, my mother was so distressed that she secretly shed tears...

My childhood was really exciting, hard but worth it!

I was born on November 22, 1938 in the Lin Family Ancestral Hall of Caisang Village, Lishui County, Zhejiang Province. The word "Lin" is related to my birthplace. My father was working as a technician at the Agricultural Experimental Manufacturing Field of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Construction, which is equivalent to the current intermediate technical title. He graduated from the Agricultural College of the National Central University and is one of the few in our country. The older generation of intellectuals. During the war of resistance against Japan, my birth not only brought joy to the family, but also caused trouble to my parents. In the turbulent and wandering life, our family moved from Zhejiang Province to Jiangxi Province. , and then moved from Jiangxi Province to Tunxi City, Anhui Province, at the foot of Mount Huangshan. My formal education began here. In the spring of 1943, my mother took me to a primary school for a transfer interview. Before that, I had studied. I learned some arithmetic and learned some Chinese characters. The teacher took out a textbook, pointed to the figure of a primary school student who was measuring his height, and asked me what was the ruler on the primary school student's head. At that time, I had never been exposed to the problem of measuring height. , I really had no idea at all, but fortunately I still had some spatial imagination, so I replied: It is a steamer board. "Steamer board" is a dialect that was half Jiangxi and half Anhui when I was a child, which means that my mother occasionally said it. A kneading board used when making northern pasta.

3. Fight! The starting point of life

In the summer of 1951, our family moved to Hefei, the provincial capital. In the fall of this year, I was admitted to Hefei High School. This is a famous middle school. The predecessor of Hefei High School was Hefei Little Academy. Later we learned that Professor Yang Zhenning, a famous Chinese-American scientist and Nobel Prize winner in physics, had studied in this school. When I study in this school, I feel like the Buddha has inspired my soul and I have made great progress in my studies. I remember that my high school graduation math test score was the average of trigonometry and algebra, and I still got 100 points. In the campus environment, I was an unstable person. The foreign language study at that time allowed you to choose one subject between English and Russian. Three seconds after the teacher announced it, I wrote the word "Russian" and said hello to other classmates with whom I was close. Sure enough, I got my wish. Compared with some stable classmates, they have to take a look and they will not give up their good English foundation easily. And I wholeheartedly yearned to learn from the big brother of the Soviet Union and catch up with the latest fashion. Who can know that the Russian language will decline in a few years. It seems that anything in the world, based on the political climate, will inevitably have some big ups and downs like the stock market. However, my good foundation in Russian can still come in handy. Forty years later, it has to be a miracle that I can still review Russian test papers for teachers in the Basic Department of Dalian Light Industry University who are planning to be promoted to associate professors.

In high school, academic training was solid. It laid a good foundation for me to study science in the future. Certain progress has also been made in other areas. For example, I learned to swim. To the east of the city of Hefei, there is a large river, which may be a tributary of the Dongfei River. The water surface is not very wide. We have five or six good high school classmates and we often go swimming. Here I learned the "dog paddle style", which is the most primitive swimming posture. Two hands are struggling to paddle the water on both sides of the body, and the two feet take turns to draw water downwards. Although this primitive swimming technique cannot bring glory to my life, it has played a role in several destiny points in my life. In August 1960, I had been working at Liaoning University for two years. As assigned by my superiors, I was preparing to attend a summer training class for college teachers at the then Dalian Institute of Technology. However, in early August, floods occurred in some areas of Shenyang, and Liaoning University organized a rescue team to rush to the disaster area. Comrades who can swim are required to sign up. I don’t know whether it’s because there are too few people in the north who can swim, or because people are somewhat afraid of floods. Anyway, I applied and was selected. So a group of 18 of us set off on behalf of Liaoning University in an amphibious assault boat. I wore a pair of swimming trunks and a ragged cotton jacket. Facing a vast wilderness, it really feels like "the wind is blowing and the water is cold". Although I lost an opportunity for further study, it gave me a rare experience in life. People sometimes need to make a little sacrifice. Although this kind of sacrifice may not necessarily bring any reward, or even just a black humor, when you sum up your life, it is an experience and a testimony.

Interesting stories from my childhood often flash in my mind. I love my childhood!
