学进去

Born in a rural village in Changzhi, Shanxi, Zhang Juncheng has had the spirit of research since he was a child. He has been the best learner among the brothers and sisters and after all the hard work, he finally got to junior high school. He also achieved good results in the high school entrance exam. However, because his family was poor, Zhang could only choose to give up his study and start to work. In order to improve his career development, several years later when a security company in Beijing came to recruit (招聘) people, Zhang signed up and got on the bus to Beijing.

“Before starting the job, you need to train at the security training base for a period of nearly one month, and the distribution (分配) will be determined by the results,“ he said. With a strong belief in mind, Zhang Juncheng devoted himself to training. He won first place in many assessments for his high professional ability. He ranked first among more than 500 people and was eventually assigned (分配) to Peking University.

He valued this hard-won opportunity of working at Peking University and worked hard. His business evaluation was perfect every time. At the same time, he made use of his spare time to learn, often for a few hours a day. What is worth mentioning is that he met the most important person on his learning path, Professor Cao Yan from the English Department, who helped him a lot in English and provided him with precious learning opportunities.

The hard work paid off. After half a year of hard study, he successfully passed the adult college entrance exam and was admitted to the Law Department of Peking University. Three years later, he succeed in obtaining his degree certificate (证书).

Now, he has been teaching in his hometown for more than 20 years, and he has founded a private secondary vocational (职业的) school mainly for rural children. For Zhang Juncheng, who has gone through ups and downs, he understands more about the meaning and importance of continuous learning.
