Remember that Jiangsu guy who tore up the admission book of Peking University and went home to farm? What happened to him?

In China, how many students have studied hard for decades, just to get good grades in the college entrance examination, so as to enter a good university and change their lives. When it comes to good universities in China, the first thing that comes to mind is Tsinghua Peking University. As the top two universities in China, it is the school that many students dream of. After all, if you can get the diplomas from these two schools, it will be a very powerful stepping stone for you to enter social work. But there are exceptions, and the hero of our story today is an exception. What happened to the Jiangsu boy who tore up the admission book of Peking University and was willing to go back to his hometown to farm?

First, with excellent strength, I was admitted to Peking University.

The Jiangsu boy's name is Dong Jiageng. Dong Jiageng, male, 1940, from Yancheng, Jiangsu. He did well in school when he was a child and has been doing well since he grew up. He is even more liked by teachers and classmates at school. After taking the college entrance examination, he successfully got the admission notice of Peking University with excellent results. At that time, education was relatively poor, and it was a great honor to be admitted to Peking University. In the village of Dong Jiageng, the villagers are very happy that Dong Jiageng can be admitted to such a university. Because of the poor family conditions in Dong Jiageng, the villagers spontaneously organized donations to Dong Jiageng to raise tuition fees. Everyone thinks that Dong Jiageng will get ahead when he goes to college again, thus driving the development of the village. However, Dong Jiageng made a decision that surprised many people.

Second, refuse to go to college.

Dong Jiageng made this decision because he tore up the admission notice of Peking University and gave up his study at Peking University. Because Dong Jiageng thought that people's food and clothing problem had not been solved at that time, and it was impossible to solve the plight of people and their families if they just went to school blindly. However, his decision to give up studying at Peking University was strongly opposed by his family, and his parents also dissuaded him from giving up this opportunity. After all, learning is very useful. But in Dong Jiageng's eyes, he doesn't think reading can change his destiny. Therefore, after there was a policy of social youth going to the countryside at that time, Dong Jiageng resolutely participated. His decision made the people in the village very disappointed, and then his girlfriend broke up with him. His parents refused to persuade him to take part in agriculture.

Third, later

However, after Dong Jiageng gave up college, his life was actually very difficult. After Dong Jiageng engaged in agriculture, he did solve some problems in agricultural production and made great achievements. But in 1956, he was forced to suffer. In the following ten years, he did not live well, but was persecuted everywhere. It was not until 1974 that his life improved with the help of the government. Later, slowly, life in Dong Jiageng got better. Until 2005, he became a national model worker. Now, Dong Jiageng is over 80 years old, and the old man is enjoying his old age. The stories that happened to him before are all in the past.
