Professor Zhang Xianping, male, introduction of literature department of Shanxi University.

Zhang Xianping, aged 58, is the chairman of Wuhan Yinuo Planning Company and the head of "Educated Youth Years" in Wuhan;

As an educated youth and blacksmith, ten years of hardships tempered his iron will;

He went to TV University, wrote a novel and went into business. In 2005, he was selected as one of the top ten planners in China.

Follow your dreams. Seeking fragrance is the lingering complex of educated youth. "For the weak, the educated youth years are a disaster; For the strong, educated youth is a lifetime wealth. "

Obviously, Zhang Xianping chose the latter.

Zhang Xianping's "Years of Educated Youth" is stationed at the side of Changxuanling Street Highway in Huangpi. On the morning of June 28th, we took a bus tour in the rain. As soon as I stepped into the door of "The Years of Educated Youth", I saw a huge calendar landscape painting with the time of "1968", which made people seem to have returned to that special era more than 40 years ago.

Red brick paving, slogans, slogans and quotations can be seen everywhere during the Cultural Revolution. Well-known quotations and red classic songs in those days rippled in my ears; In the exhibition room, various printed posters published during the Cultural Revolution are hung on the wall, recording the contents of industry, agriculture, commerce, academics, military affairs, model operas and so on in that special era ... These precious collections are carefully collected by Zhang Xianping from all over the country. The most distinctive among the educated youth is the "Mao Zedong Thought Literature and Art Propaganda Team". The actors in this team, all over 50 years old, are members of the educated youth propaganda team. Under their interpretation, the eight popular model operas and revolutionary songs and dances were reproduced.

Zhang Xianping is the owner of The Years of Educated Youth. 197 1 year-old sent to Xianning Yangloudong Tea Farm1year-old. In fact, Zhang Xianping, who was blind in his left eye at the age of three, couldn't go to the countryside at all, but in that hot age, going to the countryside and going to the places most needed by the motherland seemed to be the mission of young people.

Zhang Xianping will never forget those years: summer is very hot, the outdoor temperature is as high as 40 to 50 degrees Celsius, and it is necessary to mow the grass in Abel Tamata; In winter, we should dig deep into the ground to resist frost and heaven and earth. The saddest thing is hunger, always not enough to eat. "On my 20th birthday, I was still hungry for a day." When he finally returned to the city, Zhang Xianping said to himself that he would never come to the countryside again in this life. He never imagined that 40 years later, the educated youth years became a complex and a dream for him.

After returning to the city, Zhang Xianping became a blacksmith in a street factory. "No matter how hot the weather is, you have to go shirtless. Splash sparks often burn blisters on your body. " Five years of educated youth and five years of blacksmith experience have made Zhang Xianping taste bitterness and temper his will. "From then on, there is nothing I can't overcome."

He began to dream of college, studied hard and taught himself. 1982 was admitted to Hubei Radio and TV University majoring in Chinese language and literature. If I had 10 yuan, I would stay in 8 yuan to buy books. After that, he began his literary dream again, and no matter how busy he was, he had to finish writing 6000 words a day. 1985 published the novella Diary of a TV University student in the authoritative literary magazine Changjiang Literature and Art, 1996 joined the Wuhan Writers Association. At this time, the tide of market economy swept through, and Zhang Xianping began to do business in the sea, but his party lost money and more than a dozen industries failed. Many people advised him not to set foot in business again, but Zhang Xianping just wouldn't listen! Not afraid of difficulties, not losing the strength of clothes, makes him more frustrated and braver. From 65438 to 0997, he began to sum up the experience and lessons of his entrepreneurial failure, and began his career planning with the sensitivity and delicacy of a writer. This career change has enabled Zhang Xianping to blaze a new trail-he was selected as one of the top ten planners in China in 2005 and became one of the top planners in China with a series of successful cases.

Publish a book and become famous. One day in 2007, Zhang Xianping suddenly received a call from an educated youth comrade-in-arms. He suggested whether we could have a gathering of educated youth friends that year. Put the phone down, Zhang Xianping's mood can't be calm for a long time: miss the educated youth, miss the educated youth friend, not just the voice of this friend? Since then, "The Years of Educated Youth" has become a dream of Zhang Xianping, an indelible complex.

From land acquisition to formation, only Zhang Xianping knows the difficulties. To this end, he closed the company and sold the house. Some people call him "Zhang Madman", others call him "Desperate Shiro", and he laughs it off. To him, cooking without rice is not a smart woman. He believes that "there is nothing out of nothing, and it is clear-sighted; See the big from the small, and get immediate results. "

He succeeded. By May of 20 10, Huangpi's "educated youth years" were open to the outside world, and Zhang Xianping, who was partial, realized his dream of "educated youth years"! Now, Zhang Xianping has taken out 40 acres of land in the "educated youth villa" and wants to build a boarding university for the elderly around, grafting the university for the elderly with the nursing home, so that the old educated youth can learn life and entertainment together and spend their old age happily. He said that he wanted to be the "king of providing for the aged" in Hubei.

Zhang Xianping always laughs at his "one-eyed" worldview: the left eye is arrogant, because it loses its light, and the right eye can see it at a glance, so it is better to see the cold and warm life. Apart from joking, I can clearly feel the dreamer's perseverance and pure frankness. I can't help but think of that sentence: suffering is a fortune.
