In-depth revelation: Is Hengshui Middle School at the center of the storm a paradise or a hell?

Zi Teng was dismissed from Tsinghua University in his sophomore year.

In 2006, in the "Yingcai Street" outside the gate of Hengshui Middle School (hereinafter referred to as Hengshui Middle School), the heads of 41 students who were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University were lined up on the red list.

?

There is only a 10-point difference between Wang Ziteng and Zhao Wei, the provincial science champion, ranking second.

In the media interview at the time, Wang Ziteng’s parents were very excited and thanked the school for cultivating a top student in their family.

Two years later, Wang Ziteng was judged by Tsinghua University as not meeting the "talent" assessment standards and dismissed.

In Hengzhong, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. It is a shame for students who fail to pass the Qingbei examination.

Those who passed the exam but were persuaded to drop out will not publicize it.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Netizen @豆**ya broke the news:

Her cousin was originally a cheerful and lively person, but after graduating from Hengzhong, his temperament changed drastically and he became A real dead house.

Along with depression, I was asked to quit college not long after I entered college.

What the outside world knows about Hengzhong is far from its true appearance.

Hengzhong 2013 College Entrance Examination Ranking

How come those Hengzhong people who have endured a hellish life for three years and have great endurance cannot survive as soon as they enter college?

What’s wrong with Hengzhong’s “talents”?

The president did some calculations and found that in 13 years from 2006 to 2018, Hengzhong has sent 1,289 people to Tsinghua and Peking University.

Among them, there were as many as 214 people in 2018 alone.

In the 2013 college entrance examination, Hengzhong accounted for 80% of the enrollment in Qingbei and one-fifth of the province's candidates with scores above 600.

In the face of such impressive figures, who cares about the small number of students who have been persuaded to drop out?

Hengshui Middle School Examination

In Hebei, Hengshui has no rivals.

Among the people, Hengzhong is even more popular as a "god-like campus" on top of the "super middle school".

This super middle school was born under the examination-oriented education system. The college entrance examination is the only goal, and many parents have to send their children here despite their efforts.

But parents never thought about sending their children to The proud Hengshui Middle School may have some impact and damage on their lives.

These sequelae may even require them to spend their entire lives healing themselves.

Netizen @feifei has graduated from Hengzhong Middle School for 8 years, but still can’t get rid of the nightmare of failing the college entrance examination and going back to repeat. Even when eating or drinking, I feel nervous and look at my watch unconsciously.

The college entrance examination is not the end, but the beginning of their pain.

Hengshui Middle School

At the critical time of more than 30 days before the 2019 college entrance examination, the "Shenzhen suspected college entrance examination immigrants" incident once again pushed Hengshui Middle School to the forefront, triggering the The nightmare of 25 million high school students.

Is Hengshui Middle School, the "college entrance examination factory", hell or heaven?

How harsh is the Hengzhong process?

The large toilet takes 3 minutes and the small toilet takes 1 minute

According to a 2013 report by Southern Weekend, nearly 4,000 cars will be parked at the gate of Hengzhong Middle School during holidays, and it has received 170,000 visitors in ten years. , you have to pay a conference fee of 600 yuan to visit.

Former Heng Middle School student @Marisa never went back after graduation.

“The memories left to me of that campus are basically nothing but darkness and human destruction.

"

A freshman from Hengshui Middle School burst into tears when faced with reporters:

It took me three months of living in Hengzhong to understand what purgatory on earth is.

Morning exercise at Hengshui Middle School in Hebei Province

Without personal experience, we can’t believe this kind of suffering.

However, Zhang Wenmao, the principal of Hengshui Middle School for 14 years (retired in 2018), can’t believe it. Confident as a fan.

He once said proudly in a program:

Our students are very fulfilling, happy and sunny every day.

I wonder if it was Liang Jingru who gave him the courage...

Let’s take a look at what Principal Zhang Wenmao said about fulfillment, happiness and sunshine.

Yu Heng, who graduated in 2018. Reader K (who broke the news anonymously and will be presented later) told the president:

As a senior, he experienced all the inhumane treatment.

A "rebel" who was judged to be hopeless by his class teacher.

He can also count the "violation" records in the three years of high school:

Because he passed notes to classmates to share concerns. , before taking the oath of office on the 50th day of the college entrance examination, they were both driven home and asked to write a 5,000-word self-reflection book every day;

I stood up to pick up things, looked at the door-level teachers, looked around in school uniform, and was criticized and criticized. Points were deducted;

In the first half of the college entrance examination, I sat in the last row of the classroom because I often went out to fetch water after class, which was judged to have affected the learning atmosphere between classes;

Because at 10:30, Chatting with classmates in the dormitory, he was punished to stand by the blackboard for a whole week, not allowed to take books, and looked at the wall to think about his faults.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Hengshui Middle School read early.

Hengzhong has strict rules. The time for each activity of the students is 3 minutes for the large toilet and 1 minute for the small toilet.

In the morning, everyone has a book or a paper in hand, just to read the back of the text when they stop to rest or wait. Words.

If the students complete the assigned homework that day, it means that the teacher is not qualified and the amount of homework must be increased next time, and the students will always be unable to complete the homework.

A student who graduated from Hengshui Middle School in 2011 stacked up his three-year high school examination papers and turned out to be 2.41 meters tall.

Every minute of the student's life is clearly arranged 24 hours a day.

The former Heng Middle School student said that he has never felt more comfortable than 10 minutes. Activity times.

Students in Shenzhen are required to report their schedules every day, and under the supervision of their parents, some children even get up at four in the morning to study. I have to volunteer in the community for at least 30 hours every semester. It’s so precious!

Hengshui Middle School Mingzhi Building

Every night, there is only one building on the Hengshui campus that is brightly lit. It is Mingzhi Building where senior high school students are located.

The building is six stories high, with classrooms on the first to fourth floors.

The lower half meter of each classroom window is equipped with frosted glass so that students’ eyesight will not drift outside the window.

At 7 pm on April 13, 2019, students were studying in the corridor before taking the exam

In an airtight Under the Iron Curtain, test papers were piled on the ground.

What’s even more terrifying is the countdown clock on the wall of the lobby on the first floor, which is accurate to the second:

“There are only **days**hours**minutes** until the 2019 college entrance examination. Seconds. ”

In order to ensure that they were not late for class, there were boys and girls sleeping with their clothes on for three whole years.

In Hengzhong, during the news time after dinner every day, the senior class is muted.

Everyone bowed their heads to study while the anchor chattered on on the screen.

Anyone who looks up will be immediately pushed down by the teacher from behind. After being pushed down several times, no one dares to look up.

They are real people, not Examination machine!

What is sad is that at an age when you should be growing up freely and happily, you have become a puppet on strings!

Ironically, after three years of living like this, the last thing K’s class teacher said to everyone after the college entrance examination was:

Please remember that you are from Hengzhong. , no one can speak ill of Hengzhong to others.

Students of Hengshui Middle School who carry books when they go to the cafeteria

In a report by Southern Weekend, Wang Wenxia, ??a teacher who has taught Chinese for nearly 20 years, faced the documentary "Hengshui Middle School" in class The camera shouted:

"Many people say that our campus is militarized, but the general is strict with the soldiers because..."

"I don't want the soldiers to die on the battlefield."

The students replied in unison.

Open your eyes and start the game.

If you can’t learn to death, then learn to die.

I fought hard for my parents and myself.

Tsinghua University and Peking University are waiting for me to come, and our country’s aspirations will be even more exciting.

For Hengzhong students, the college entrance examination is the battlefield, and Qingbei is the primary goal.

And how much does Hengzhong favor Qingbei? K said:

Only students who pass the Qingbei exam and return to school to preach can enter the experimental class. The food and accommodation are the best, and those from other campuses have to stay aside.

Only Qingbei students are interviewed by the media, and they are not allowed to speak ill of Hengzhong. The website is full of colorful event photos, and what the outside world sees is always the glamorous side.

The official website of Hengshui Middle School is full of colorful activities and smiling faces of students

Everyone goes to Hengzhong for Qingbei, but in Hebei Province, it is not easy to pass Qingbei.

It is precisely in this way that Shenzhen's "college entrance examination immigration" is presented.

In Hengzhong, students assigned to experimental classes can basically go to 985 and 211 universities.

K said that in order to improve the admission rate of one class, those who are just a little behind in the general class will be transferred by the school to be students with special talents in editing and directing.

Every year in the second half of the third year of high school, a group of students from other provinces are admitted to the science class.

K’s class that year included candidates from Xinjiang, Fujian, Tianjin, and Henan, who would study for half a year before returning to their own provinces to take the exam.

One can imagine how harsh the local student competition is.

Yang Dongping, a professor at Beijing Institute of Technology’s Graduate School of Education, directly criticized President Zhang Wenmao in the program:

Even if the students trained in this model go to Tsinghua and Peking University, they will not be able to of greater value.

Zhang Wenmao asked him:

If you were the principal, how would you manage the students?

Yang Dongping paused for two seconds and said:

At least I will give them more time to eat well and be a healthy child.

Try your best to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University

Then suffer from the damn sequelae

Give you 5 minutes, what can you do?

At this moment, the president probably can’t even run to the cafeteria.

Former Heng Middle School student @****together posted a post describing her daily life:

Not eating well and running like crazy.

I almost never have a full meal, and I don’t even dare to eat instant noodles.

My favorite is burritos or instant noodles that are simple and time-consuming.

Water is used to pour downwards.

After dinner, I ran back. The floor was quite high, and I often threw myself on the table and gasped for air.

It is this unhealthy living habit that causes many students to suffer from severe stomach problems and physiological disorders.

There is another person in K’s senior high school class who has appendicitis, and there are two in the class next to him.

Some students have even been diagnosed with spinal dislocation, lumbar disc herniation and other diseases.

Can you imagine?

Various diseases that were originally common in middle-aged and elderly people are now occurring in a group of teenage children.

Students from Hengzhong Middle School running to have breakfast

Principal Zhang Wenmao explained in the program that the school actually gave 40 minutes for eating at noon.

Can you go to dinner on time after class at 12 o'clock?

Wait! This is very unbalanced!

Netizen @**** complained together that get out of class ends at 12 o'clock, but class is often delayed for 20 minutes. In the third year of high school, I even have to wait until 12:30 before eating.

It’s obvious how much time is left.

Under such high-intensity military management, many students also suffered from severe mental weakness.

Tossing and turning every day and not sleeping well, some even rely on drugs to maintain sleep quality after graduating from college.

However, in Hengshui No. 2 Middle School, which is as famous as Hengzhong and has been criticized equally, there are still some people who will never wait until the day they go to college.

On October 10, 2014, a girl jumped from the building in Hengshui No. 2 Middle School. According to the poster, the girl who jumped from the building was a senior in high school at the school. She jumped from the sixth floor of the school and died after rescue efforts failed.

In the early morning of March 29, 2015, Xu, a senior student at Hengshui No. 2 Middle School, committed suicide by jumping off a building. He died after rescue efforts failed.

The scary thing is that the two jumping incidents occurred less than half a year apart.

Since then, iron fences have been installed in the corridors of Hengshui No. 2 Middle School.

In order to prevent students from jumping off the building, Hengzhong has also tightened its control over students.

Teaching building with iron fence installed

You read that right! This is a campus, but it looks like a prison.

What happens to the students who have spent three years and worked hard to get into Qingbei University?

"I really have no motivation. After I was admitted to college, I felt like I couldn't move anymore. I felt depressed and became more and more impetuous."

Qianheng Middle School student@ **** describes their college life together like this.

The ubiquitous slogans of Hengshui Middle School

Although k was not admitted to Qingbei, after entering university, he became extremely disinclined to study and had no interest in clubs.

He doesn’t even know how to study anymore. He doesn’t know how to devote himself to solving a problem. He hasn’t done it since he entered college.

The students in Hengzhong are like springs. If they are tightened for a long time and then suddenly let go, many of them will have difficulty returning to their original state, and may even fall apart.

Those who pass the exam never want to go back.

Someone asked netizen @**** why they went to Hengzhong in the first place if they didn’t like it?

The answer is very helpless:

Because in Hebei, other schools are also very different.

For the students at Hengzhong, there seems to be no choice but to get through it.

But is it worth giving up your health and even your life in order to get into Qingbei?

Cui Yongyuan once paid a return visit to graduates of Hengzhong High School who were admitted to Qingbei and other prestigious schools. What is surprising is:

Almost 99% of the children said that if they were allowed to make another choice , will go to this campus again.

Why?

Because they feel that if they want to escape from a remote village, this is the only way.

Slogan of Hengshui Middle School Picture/Weibo @杨江国

In my country’s college entrance examination, winning or losing is determined by scores.

But an even harsher fact is that real creative talents are not cultivated through scores.

According to statistics, among the more than 3,000 college entrance examination top scorers since the resumption of the college entrance examination, not one has become a professional leader.

The super middle school model represented by Hengzhong may even be a harm to creative talents.

Those defeated top students from Hengzhong Middle School are the representatives.

The Hengzhong model blossomed across the country

1,122 high school students from other provinces parachuted into Guangdong

Helplessly, in most places in my country today, this model is followed as a model rather than an object of criticism.

The more backward the economy, the more market this form has.

This is the ecology of many campuses at the bottom of our country.

"Teacher, please help me control my children more strictly" and "Beat them if they don't obey me", words like this are not unfamiliar to us.

A balanced model with a high degree of control and refined management is the common wish of most parents in the country.

Therefore, the "deified" Hengzhong Legion began to expand its troops and occupy all parts of the country.

Shenzhen is one of these strongholds.

But what is more serious than this is that this time Hengzhong is suspected of deliberately introducing top students from other provinces to Shenzhen through "college entrance examination immigration" in the name of cooperative education with Shenzhen Fuyuan Campus.

List of students admitted to Qingbei on Fuyuan campus in Shenzhen in 2018

K revealed to the president that among the 9 students admitted to Qingbei on Fuyuan campus last year, 5 (above) (in the red box in the picture) are from Class 675, the third year of science at Hengzhong Middle School, and their Shenzhen household goals were given by their class teacher Sun Guangwen.

A student from Hengzhong Middle School said this about Sun Guangwen:

"Using his power to the extreme, he turns education into a power play."

Parents are worried that this operation between Hengzhong and Fuyuan not only takes up the quota of local students, but also It may also disrupt the education system of the entire Guangdong Province.

Screenshots from Shenzhen parents’ messages to the president

They calculated the admission data for the 2016 Shenzhen High School Entrance Examination overnight. In that year, 432 people were admitted to Fuyuan Campus in the first year of high school, all of whom were Shenzhen candidates.

But a few days ago, the first live column of Shenzhen Satellite TV broke out that there are 546 senior high school students in Fuyuan this year.

There were actually 114 more students in the senior year of high school than in the first year of high school!

So the question is, did the principal remember it wrong, or was the report wrong?

Picture/Weibo@xiangzhai

Another revelation comes from authoritative data from the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Education. The number of students with high grades who transferred to Guangdong from other provinces are:

p>

494 people transferred in in 2017;

786 people transferred in in 2018;

1,122 people transferred in in 2019;

From other provinces in 2019 List of 1122 students transferred to Guangdong

Screenshots from documents provided by parents

How many will be added next year?

Based on the current growth rate, it is conservatively estimated that there will be 1,500 people.

What happened during this period? Why has the number of people transferring from other provinces increased significantly?

Shenzhen’s opening up to off-site college entrance examinations and Guangdong’s relaxed household registration policy were originally intended to serve the majority of migrant workers and the children of talented people.

So is this increase in data due to the increase in the number of their children, or is it because predators are coming to take advantage of them?

As early as 2014, parents in Hubei studied the loopholes in Guangdong’s student status policy and exploited them.

On a high school forum on a certain website, netizens posted guidance on how Hubei candidates should immigrate to Guangdong for the college entrance examination, calling for them to squeeze out quotas from other provinces, and cited the successful case of Guangya Middle School in Guangzhou.

Picture/Weibo@xiangzhai

New way to compete: choose "immigration" and go to other provinces to get a quota.

The following comments are full of people praising the parent for being smart and preparing to imitate him. It’s scary to think about it.

Before Hengzhong, another super middle school, Huanggang Middle School, had already opened branches across the country, including Guangdong Province.

In addition to Shenzhen, Hengshui Middle School has now opened branches in Kunming, Suining, Zhangjiakou, Baoding, Qinyang, Handan, Nanchang, Hefei, Jiaxing and many other cities in my country.

What the president didn’t expect was that there was a Malaysian branch!

The tuition fee for the Chinese class at Hengzhong Malaysia Branch is as high as NT$228,000 a year! Specialized in helping students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to enter Tsinghua University and Peking University!

Hard-core balance, the fighter in "Super Middle School"!

Go your own way and leave others with nowhere to go!

What parents are now worried about are more imitators who will take advantage of the loopholes.

After all, the college entrance examination is a competition game. The number of admissions to prestigious schools increased by Hengzhong "Super Middle School" must be the number reduced by other schools.

There is a precedent for "college entrance examination immigration" in Inner Mongolia. Picture/Weibo@xiangzhai

As a student of Hengzhong Middle School in the same year, K said:

Regardless of whether he does it for fame and fortune on campus He won't be surprised if anything happens.

But what he can’t agree with is why a group of native Hebei people became Shenzhen people after only half a year of high school, and could easily go to Qingbei? (K’s score was even higher than theirs in the college entrance examination in the same year)

This is unfair to both Hengzhong students and Shenzhen students.

Regarding the "college entrance examination immigration" issue, the Shenzhen Education Bureau has not yet announced the results of the investigation, but parents across Guangdong Province are restless.

It is reported on the Internet that these students have not been in class for several days, and it is confirmed that they want to be expelled from school. There is a precedent in Guizhou.

In the final analysis, what parents just want is the truth and justice for their children.

Shenzhen is exploring the "quality education" model, and the Hengzhong model is an extreme "examination-oriented education" model.

The vicious competition under different education systems is unfair to the 700,000 candidates in Guangdong.

Hengshui Middle School

Shenzhen students play football during recess

Fuyuan Campus has opened Pandora’s box. If it is not dealt with seriously this time, then Shenzhen and even Throughout Guangdong Province, the number of "college entrance exam immigration" troops will only increase, not decrease.

"College entrance examination immigration" is no different from going through the back door or jumping in line.

And Shenzhen is probably the city in the country that least needs the back door.
